The Elizabeth City Independent gives a thrilling account of how a drowning sinner in a Sabbath dese cration, saw the errors of his ways; and having seen them, turned and i achieved a great success. Trere I comes into life of every sinner a still small voice or a great threatening danger, which oftentimes leads to a life of usefulness and service to fel lowmen. Here is the Independent’s story: the Rev. Q. C. Davis, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Albe marle, N. C., who with his distin i timguished brother J. Warren Davis, of the U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals, oof Trenton, N. C., is conducting a revival in their old church at Berea, near Elizabeth City this week, is a man of many interesting parts. How the Rev. Q. C. Davis bcame a minister is an interesitng story, known to but few of his old boyhood friends in this county. Dr. Davis want ed to be surgeon and might have been just a plain farmer boy the rest of his days, but for the fact that he went swimming one Sunday morning. It was a second Sunday morning in June, 1887. A companion with whom he was swimming became exhausted • and cried for help. Mr. Davis went to the rescue; the drowning man threw both arms around his neck and both went down. “The dead weight of the other man was too much for me,” says Dr. Dav is, “and when I realized that we were both about to drown my whole life flashed before me. I thought of the old church back at Berea and recalled that it was then about the hour of service in the old church; I thought how much better everything would have been had I, instead being in swimming, been at church that mottl ing. And then I cried out to God to help me; instantly the man who was dragging me down released me and both of us were saved. “Now when you’re in a tight place like that and call on God to help you and help comes that instantly, j you can’t help hitching up to the thing with God. It gave me some thing to think about and I thought about God for the first time in my life; I thought it was up to me to do something for God.” Dr. Davis tells how he began to ; organize prayer meetings and other | religious services in the neighborhood | and of his beginning to win souls to j j Christ. Then he found away, althoug j i married and the father of three small j I children, to go to Crozer Theological ! j Seminary at Chester Pa., where he, was educated for the ministery. ! Dr. Davis has seven children now, all grown and successful men and women. How he educated these sev l en childres on the small salary of a j Baptist minister without ever going in debt more than two or three hun-; j dred dollars at any time, would make J a story in itself. Here are how his seven children have panned out:— j The first, Rev. Floyd P. Davis, is! pastor of a Baptist Church at Ches | terneld C. H., Va. The second, Q. i C. Davis, Jr., is a member of the I Norfolk county (Va.) bar and has j served his county four terms in the Virginia General Assembly.' The third son, Dr. Wm. |Henry Davis is Professor of Greek in the Southern j Theological Seminary at Louisville, Ky., and the author of theological text books in use on two continents. ! The fourth son, J. Vernon Davis, of Washington, D. C., is Vice President and General Manager of the Wash ington & Ohio Dominion Railway | and probably the youngest vice i president of a standard railroad in America. There are three daughetrs. Miss Rose May Davis is a graduate of the ! University of Virginia and in a class of 130 applicants for license to prac tice law in Virginia two years ago, was the only one to make 100 points on the the examination. She is now Professor of Science in the Baptist College at Gaffney, S. C. A second daughter, Miss Emma Elizabeth Davis graduated with honors at Trinity College, N. C., but put aside her am bition for a professional career by marrying Dr. R. H. Holden, of Dur ham. The youngest daughter, Miss Marie Davis graduated at Trinity last June and is teaching in the pub lic schools of Albemarle this fall, Tobacco Warehouse Burned Sanford, Nov. 24.—Fire of unde termined origin early this morning destroyed the Planter’s warehouse here, together with approximately 60,000 pounds of tobacco, and at 2 o’clock was threatening another warehouse owned by the Tobacco Co-Operative association. It was thought, however, that efforts of firemen would save the co-operative warehouse, although a stiff wind was hampering their work. Slight damage was done to the rear of the Murchison Drug company's building, the flames being quickly extinguished. LOOK AT If OUR LABEL —■——m uni—nr-mminr— HAVE WENT” A Tenth Grade Composition (By Willie Morgan.) Once there was a boy who always said “have went”. In school his teacher would correct him. His mother would scold him for saying it but to no avail. He continued using this expression “have went.” One night this little boy got up and put on his clothes and went out into the World. He was mad because his teacher and mother scolded him so much. He came to a little hut which was surrounded by flowers and shrubbery. By the pale moonlight he could see a spring of crystal wa ter. Being thirsty he leaned over to drink. As he did the heard a small voice say, “Do not drink of that water. No one can drink of the magic water unless he uses perfect , language.” The boy turned and saw ! standing in the door of the hut a « crooked and bent old woman. She J had a long nose and a long dhin I which nearly met. She wore a long j cloak and held a crooked staff in her , hand. J The little boy was afraid and he ; t just stared at the old witdh. He-! was more thirsty than he was afraid < as he leaned over and drank of the magic water. Immediately a great change took place. He was turned into a frog. When the little boy found this out the first thing he croaked was, “Look what I have went’ and done.” The old witch laughed and said in a vrey cracked voice, “you shall stay a frog until you quit saying “have went.” And with her staff she push ed him into the spring and the cold water closed in aboout him. When he awoke he found that a storm was raging and the rain was flowing in at the window. The night before he had eaten ice cream and pickle, which made him have such a nightmare. But this cured him of j saying “have went” and the next I month he made the highest mark in his English class. » mm CONFOUND THE PAIR! Some discussion has been going on ! concerning the meaning of the ex pression “a pair of .twins.” One au , thority claims the expression is all i right, while others say “a pair of” Jis superfluous; that the one word j “twins” means exactly the same as ' |“a pair of twins”. Another view is that “a pair of twins” means four j ; persons, or twoo sets of twins. Now, I would one of Mrs. Smith’s twins and one of Mrs. Brown’s twins mjake a pair of twins ? One Smith twin and one Brown twin would make two twins. Two make a pair, so it seems - * that these two would make a pair of twins. —Lincoln County News.
