That Body. To Form a N ew Presby -terySoon. The recent meeting of Fayette ville Presbytery: was "held in the beautiful new building of "The Church in the Pines'" at Laurel Hill. c Rev. Eugene Alexander was elected moderator. There was a large attendance, and the proceedings were interesting and harmonious. One of the . important matters discussed was the formation of a new presbytery, composed of parts of Orange, Albemarle and Fayetteville Presbyteries, with the cities . of Durham and Raleigh as central points. This proposed new presbytery, if formed by Synod, would include Chatham and Lee counties within 1 1 s bounds. Fayetteville Presbytery adopted a petition to Synod ask ink for the new Presbytery. The matter will be.taken up by Synod at its approaching meeting at Tarboro, beginning October 18th. Another matter of interest was the appointment of a committee to organize the work of the Lay men's Movement within the Pres bytery. Mr. A. C. Ray was ap pointed Chairman of this com mittee. r Special features of. interest were the eloquent and convincing feermon on The Deity of Jesus Christ by Doctor E. C. Murray, an address on Foreigtf Missions by Doctor John W. Moore, of Japan, and the instructive and inspiring reports of the workers from the Home Mission field of Presbytery. t i - Chatham Church.

Another Friend Encourages Us in Our Work We Are Pleased. Mr. Editor: So far as I can now recall this is my first attempt to write anything for a news paper? but seeing so many newsy articles contributed by others causes me to try my hand. In my opinion the Record is now one of the best county papers in North Carolina. The editor goes after the news and sends it to us. I have adopted a plan of oreserv ing the good "and useful things gotten from the Record from time to time. i nave a nie m which to keep them; my latest clipping is an article showing the tax rate for the county this year, which is a matter of vital inter est to every taxpayer in the coun ty. The editor tells me he is go ing to give the names of every special school tax district and the special tax rate of each; when this is done I will use my scissors again.

Lynching -Views. Mr. Editor: As lynching seems to be the topic for discus sion just now, we wish to state our views on . the question and everyone else can have the same privilege. The writer never had any desire to want to be in a lynching: party, for we have laws that will fix those criminals. We never thought that thd best, leading1, clear minded, sober thinking people of a community would be found in a mob, taking human life in the most brutal way regardless of race or color, and furthermore if ever found out any one in the party would be tried for murder; but there is a class of people that will take a chance on that never being found out. -. : .. . Life is short at the longest and each and every one has got to come down to a dying hed, and will have to face every tning we have done; through- life,; and it would be bad to have to be cast into a burning hell to spend all eternity along side of the victim who had been rushed into eter nity at our approval. Though a great majority of people look upon' the after life punishment with about as much seriousness as the tramp did who was trudg ing along, sadly in need of clothes and in passing, a farm;. house he reached up and pulled a shirt off the clothes line; the lady of the house seeing him made for the door as he started to run. When she yelled at him and said, that's all right Mr. Tramp, God will fix you for that, he stopped and said, if that is all you are going to do to me I wm take another one," and reached up arid took an other shirt and went on his way rejoicing, - ; . - A SUBSCRIBER. Niagara, N. C, Oct., 3. Pleads For Obeyance. Rev. J. J, Smith, colored, of Riggsbee, sends the editor a long communication dealing principal ly with his race in observance of the law. It is timely; but too long to publish. He emphazizes the three laws moral, ceremon ial and civil which God - has commanded all to observe, and he pleads with his race to obey them. Rev: Smith urges the mothers, fathers and guardians to teach the Scriptures in the home more jnthe future and it will train them not only to ob serve the law but to have proper respect for other people. This colored preacher tells the white people; thatV the better ele ment of his race does hot uphold the vouth in crime of any kind and he asks all to be mutual in the undertaking to make people better and to refrain from wrong doing, - y-- " " ji j .'.

Present New Features. , The announcement that the far-famed Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey combined shows are to exhibit at Raleigh, Thurs day, .October 13, has aroused hp end of interest. It would seem as - though practically all the youngsters and grown-ups in this section were planning to attend. Twice each day for almost two months New York's great Madi son square Garden was oacked with those who thronged to see this biggest program in circus history. They saw scores of the jungle s . most ferocious beasts. subjugated to such a degree, that tnese beautiful animals leaped to and rode on -the backs of ele phants and horses, jumped through hoops of - fire, opened their mouths that their men and women trainers might lay their heads and hands inside them; or leaped from pedestal to pedestal iiKe trained oogs. And tnese marvelous dumb actors are all on tour with the great double circus. ihe four . immense steel arenas in which they perform are set up m the mammoth mam tent: There is no additional charge every thing is on the one program. And by everything is meant not ony the wild animal displays, but the entire circus. More than 600 men ard women, embracing the world s foremost aremc stars, take part. There are almost 100 clowns. Aside from the ferocious beasts, the program includes thirty trained elephants. Troupes ot camels perform in the rings. There are five companies of train ed seals, many dogs, bears, mon keys, pig? and pigeons. Fully seventy trained horses and Shet- Iands are presented. It is the biggest circus program the world has ever seen, given under the largest tent and, v in connection, is the famous combined Ringling Brothers - and -Barnum &;Baiiey menagerie.
