WEDNESDAY, MAY 8, 193 EboTCity Folks Hear Evangelist fin Strong Sermon undreds Are Turning Out f Each Night To Hear Dr. I John W. Ham, Noted I Evangelist, Holding A I 10-Day Meeting In Tabor Btrong MESSAGE delivered by ham Musical Program Is Under The Personal Direction I And Supervision Of H. I J. Beeker, Supported By Two Choirs I Revival meetings in progress in < L Baptist church in Tabor City : re drawing large crowds. They |1 Bre increasing with each service, i he musical program is under ] Bie direction of H. J. Beeker who i supported by two choirs. ( I Services are held each morning o'clock in one of the busi- i ess houses of the town. Evan-11 elist John W. Ham speaks thir-1, i- minutes at these services. The jwn's people are increasing in!; jeir attendance. Again at 12:30 h m , he is speaking at the crate , ictory alternating with the auc- i ion mart of the berry shed. His messages at eight p. m., , re direct and up to the pres- ( nt applied to church members, lessages this week have been i iving a foundation deep and j t'ror.g. The atmosphere has be- ] ome'tense and tender. He spoke t uesdav night on "Carrying our Corner of the Sheet," based f pon Mark 2:3. Cooperation was | be outstanding theme of the disourse. Four men brought a paretic to Jesus. The evangelist amed these men as Prayer, aith. Sympathy and Persevernce. He graphically portrayed ach point with illustrations comiz under his own observation. | He stated that Jesus was the reatest sensationalist the world ver saw, yet He did nothing for ie sake of a sensation. There as nothing cheap, bizzare or lownish in this method. He was fe. Life is a sensation. He roucht light. "Prayer as represented by one f these men is fundamental and ssential. Prayer moves God hen it moves the one who oftrs the prayer. When our prayr gets down into shoe leather nd we go after the one for | hom we were praying God has ;spect for our prayer. "I became pastor of the Bapst Tabernacle. Atlanta, Georgia, j i 1917. They had a debt of one undred and fourteen thousand ullars. We had an all day prayr meeting followed two weeks iter by an all night prayer leeting. At sunrise we arose and ing the doxology without a peny in the treasury. The first ffering made that morning was leven pennies by a little girl i ho wa3 too poor to come to! lurch. She had neither shoes or dress. Ii "We worked foij ninety days, s if everything depended upon s. and believed as if everything epended upon God. Gcd gave s the victory and I burned the lortgage. In seven years, we [ tised four hundred and fifty lousand dolars among working eople and received into the lurch fellowship twenty-two undred and fifty people. The unday School moved from an j verage attendance of four hunred and thirty one up to twen- j f-five hundred. Seventeen young len heard the call to preach the ospel and went to college, uni- j ersity and seminary. "All of this is a tribute to the j ict that we had a prayer meet- j ig every Sunday night during j lose seven years. We baptized rery Sunday night during the ime time except on Christmas j ight. Prayer moves things." Meetings will continue during j |e coming week. Pastor C. R. I inton is delighted with the reilts of the first week and ex- j ?ds a cordial invitation to j lends throughout the county to j "ail themselves of hearing this j itionally known evangelist. efferson Hewett Claimed By Death Jefferson Hewett, 86-year-old :siient of this county, died last uesday night.

Long, Aged Resident Of The Bug Hill Section, Has Taken And Reared Twenty-One Children In Forty Years FOUR OF NUMBER HIS OWN CHILDREN His Home Was Always Open To Friendless Children; Many Of Those Who He Reared Are Married Now and Have Families Down in the Bug Hill section >f Columbus County, there is what rightfully may be called a oneman orphanage. In reality it is nothing more than the home of William R. j Long, whose picture appears in the adjoining column, who in a course of forty years has taken | md reared more than twenty-one unfortunate children who lived in that vicinity. He has reared four 3f his own. People who live in the Bug Hill section will attest to the j fact that his home was always cpen to friendless children, and those who did not have a place where they might stay were quickly taken in by Mr. Long j and his wife. The subject of this sketch was j, twice married, and his last wife is still living. Both wives always helped and assisted in caring for j the children who were taken into their home. Although Mr. Long now has ( 1 CAPTURE BIG BEAR IN CRUSOE ISLAND j Last Saturday morning a big 200 pound black bear was captured and later killed by Bruce Clewis in the Crusoe Island settlement. The mammoth bruin fell into a trap which had been set for him as he was about to molest some bee hives in that area. The animal broke through a barbed wire entanglement which was surrounding the bee yard as a precaution against j such intruders, and was in the act of raiding one of the gums when he fell into a large trap. I 1 Making his way on through the swamp, the bear continued to run until finally caught in a mesh of underbrush. There Clewis found him, and later shot him. SEND-A-DIME FOOLISHNESS The send-a-dime project which is sweeping the countiy is another one of those unique ideas to which Americans are peculiarly subject. We fall easily for almost anything that has the polish of mere newness upon it or that strikes our fancy for the extraordinary. | We seem to be made that way j in this country, more so than any ] other peoples. Under the send-a-dime project, that has caught like wild fire an j individual receives a lost of six! names in a letter asking him tol send ten cents to the top name , on the list. He is then to re- j move that name, add his own to the bottom of the list, and send copies of the letter and the new ilst to 5 others. By the time his name will have reached the top j of the list, it will be in the hands > of 15,625 persons, if there is no j break in the chain. If each of I these sends him a dine, he will receive over $1,500 from this one | link in the chain before his name i goes off the list. The Post Office Department has ruled that this scheme violates the long-standing anti-lottery laws of the United States. Tho Dpnartmpnt takes the PO- | sition that an individual, especially if his name does not come into the scheme early, may not receive as many dimes as he sends out. Therefore it is essentially a lottery. However, it is difficult for the Post Office Department to proceed against the scheme. For one thing, the Department is not authorized to confiscate, except by search warrants, letters which carry the scheme forward, even if such letters could be identified from their enve lopes. By painstaking comparison of lists, the postal inspectors might trace the originator, and ask for an indictment against him, but that would not now prevent the spread of the Send-a-Dime letters. Also, a jury might not convict, inasmuch as the Send-a-Dime movement was evidently not begun for selfish purposes, might even fall under the head of a Share-the-Wealth proposal. To Indict all those now advancing the scheme is obviously impracticable, and the alw does not allow non-crimina laction, such as injunctions.?Charlotte Observer. f THE STATE tanage Found ill Community HK::' * I WILLIAM R. LONG well passed the alloted four score! years and ten, he is still about! the business of caring for chil- j dren who have nowhere else to | stay. He and his wife at the present time have two small adopted children, one six months old, and another 9 years old. Mr. Long will be 85 on the 15th of this coming June. ???????? Store Building Catches On Fire When he opened his store last Thursday morning, Kenny Mc- j Keithan, partner in the Bolivia Merchandise Company, discovered that fire of an undetermined origin had burned a hole in the floor during the night. The blaze ' apparentlv burned itself out af ter a space of about eight square feet had burned. The store building joins the garage of the Elmore Motor Company and serious property damage was narrowly escaped. ^ 5 ji'i* ii'u iit*ii'i'yii'iW$i'iimi'i*r iiiii>>i?i"kiiii'?m'ih | GET 1 I Arsenate AP Paris FROI | WE ALSO GA LINE OF IN | Watson's Southpoi || I Make your just received a Cloth, Flaxons ?

It makes the greatest growth and produces the most feed during July, August and September, he when native grasses are less pro- j to ductive. It can be grown success-1 gi fully on almost every class of sii soil from a heavy clay to a light hi sand, besides being particularly j m drought and heat resistant. It J er does best in a warm climate, and 1 ui the hay is relished by cattle, tii horses and sheep. gi The feeding value of Sudan w Grass hay is equal to that of pi millet, timothy and other non- ki legume roughages. Work stock fi, can be wintered in good condi- j ti? tion on Sudan Grass without any ai supplementary grain ration. It gi should largely supplant millet, w which yields only a single cut- n; ting, whereas Sudan will give in from two to three; stools out! wonderfully after the first cut- j ting; it is not uncommon to find a hundred stems growing from P: a single root. It is an excellent h! catch crop, requiring only 45 days tl( before the first cutting. jis Primarily an excellent hay as crop, Sudan is gaining in popularity as a summer pasture. In,tl( regions of low rainfall and high ? temperatures, its carrying capa-1 * city is superior to that of any & other grass or legume.
