OUEIEE ISSUED WEEKLY VOL. 40 PRINCIPLES. NOT MEN ONE DOLLAR PER YEAR Asheboro, N. C. Thursday, July 15. 1915 No. 28 THE ELECTION CASES i After the plaintiffs had practically , closed the evidence in their cases, only one more day, Saturday, being neces sary to take the records and point out how each voter voted in certain town ships as announced by Mr. Holton, all three of the contested election cases stttled last Saturday morning, THyWVipaH serve out his term and re ceive the emoluments of the office. There was really no grounds for con testing the office of Sheriff and by the terms of the judgment it is stateu and a matter of record that he is en titled to the office. Attorney Holton opposed this but finally agreed that the entry be made that Sheriff Birk head was entitled to the office. tio ooTPpmpnt recites that J. M. . Caveness is to hold the office of Clerk 19ira?etS of the office until that time, after which v : io nflfice over to i Frank M. Wright, and he is to re-' vide that W. J. Scarboro hold the of ine lciii'p " . r-------- lice of member of the Board oi com missioners until December 1 next, and receive the emoluments of the office until that date, after which date Wiley L. Ward is to be installed in office and receive the emoluments for the re maining half of the term. , So it will be seen it is conceded that the Sheriff is entitled to his of fice, and as to the other two offices it is what might sometimes be called a "do fall.' . , The terms of the compromise fur ther provide that in all three cases each side pay its own costs. During the five days that the Republicans were examining witnesses before the referee, their costs were probably $500 per day, and the lawyers' fees are said to amount to several hundred dollars. One Republican stated that the costs and lawyers' fees would amount to between $3,500 and 04,000. Under the terms of the compromise the contestants are liable for the costs and each witness can get his PBThe costs were very little for the defendants, because they had few wit nesses present last week outside oi Democratic leaders, but it would have amounted to probably $200 to $400 a day or more had the case Bone- on for another week, and the costs would probably have amounted to $1,6M or more. The compromise was brought aboi "by an overture on the part of a lead ing Republican, who was anxious tw settle the trouble which has provoked more or less bitterness, and augment ed strife and discord among neighbors and friends. Several conferences were held, and finally, on Thursday night at a late hour, Democratic lead ers saw the lawyers and outlined what had occurred, and advised that an ad justment of difficulties be made if it could be done along the lines suggest ed. After a day's delay, and further conferences, an agreement was reach ed. ind while it is not satisfactory to all Democrats nor to the Republicans in many particulars, yet upon reflection and consideration the attor neys on both sides agreed to it and virtually advised that this course be taken as an end to the whole matter. The Richland matter proved to be a fiasco, as well as the Back Creek affair, the Democrats profiting in both instances by the issue that was raised. In New Market, a condition of af fairs was testified to that was unrea sonable, and that nobody believes, un- less it be the blind partisan wno main tained a position supported by facts ihZt pould not be true, for no one. would have done what it was sworn one Democratic judge of election did unless he was crazy.

Abt, a miser believed to have been worth from ?15,000 to $20, 000, but with less than SP,00u four..! in tho local banks, was found iicaci ii; his Ra'cigb home with a bullet hoi." through his body, last Friday. Tho odors from the badly decomposed body guided the policemen to the scene df the tragedy. It is thought the man was murder ed for his. money. He was, last seen July 3, when he withdrew a lenos't from one bank and put it in another. Abt lived alone. In the room, where his body was found were two trunks, evider.ty broken open and the contents scattered on the floor; two empty money bags, labeled $50; a leather pocket book, containing 52 cents; and a revolver with three blank cartridges in the chamber, one emp ty chamber, and one unexp'oded shell. A pistol was found under the body. "THE SABBATH" DR. WHITAKER PREACHED STRONG SERMON LAST SUN DAY AT METHODIST PROTEST ANT CHURCH Dr. Whitaker preached last Sunday morning on the "Sabbath." His xt was Asaiah 58: 13, 14. "If you turn away thy foot from the Sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on mv holv day, and call the Sabbath a delight, noiy ot the Lord, honorable: and shall honor it, not doing' thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words: then shalt thou delight thyself in the Lord; and I will make thee to ride upon the high places of the earth ;and I will feed thee with the heritage of the father Jacob: for the mouth of the Lord hath spok en it." He first called attention to the fact that Sabbath and Sunday were two distinct things: that Sabbath was a scriptural term, and Sunday was of heathen origin as are the names of all the days of the week, being the names or the heathen gods to whom the several days of the week were dedicated, and indicating our descent from Pagan ancestors. Another Scrip tual term for the Christian Sabbath is the Lord's Day. and that Christians woud better use either. Sabbath or' Lord's Day in speaking of that holy day. The sabbath was first instituted by God to commerorate the completion of the work of creation. "God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it be cause in it he had rested from all the work which God created and made." That, therefore, the Sabbath and the law of the Sabbath antedated the law as given to Moses on Sinai. How, ever, none of the Old Testament ?ias been done away, as you sometimes hear; but the types have been fulfill ed in the great Antetype. Jesus said that "One lot or one title shall in np wise pass irom tne law im an ue iui filled." that is. filled full. The law is remember the Sabbath day to keep it to keep it, not as you please to kep it holy. 1 is not holiday, but a holy day. Numbers A man was found gathering sticks on the Sabbath, presumably to cook with He was carried to Moses who com manded that he be put in ward till God's will in the matter could be as certained. On the next -day, not on the Sabbath, God commanded that he be taken by the whole congregation of the children of Israel and stoned with stones that he die. Arfcawi in the matter of the mwnner when God fed the people with "bread from heaven," he showed his regard for the sanctity of the Sabbath bv sendine no mana on the -Sabbath though on other days, if more than enough for the day was gathered, it would breed worms and stink. He told a story of a man in Eng land walking through a wood and meeting a couple cf needy men. He had seven pounds sterling and gave them six, keeping but one tor his own needs: whereupon the two men knock ed him down and took from him one pound which he kept, though he had given them six. So God has given us six days to use for ourselves and asks that bu one be used for him, and many of us would rob him of that. Some rob him of the Sabbath by workin late on Saturday night that thev are ; unfitted for his service on the babbath Have many times heard the plea, I cannot go to Sunday school or to church Sunday morning because I have to be up so late jind work so hard Snturdnv ninrlit." Is that any loss robbing God ? To the Jews the 'If"', before Sabbth was the dav of preparation, would it not be well for Christians to make it the same Christians iro to tho postofTire on Sabbath. Tho demand for Sunday mail causes many to have to work on the Sabbath. Two kinds of work permissible 0' the Sabbath, works of necessity an. "orks of mercy, and the mail service is neither of these. Hesides, gettinn: tho mail on the Sabbath secularises the Sabbath. which should he kent holy, by bring itirr into th Sabbath things that !.-( foreign to it? proper observance; es ucriallv tho Sunday newspaper. The Sunday nowsiuinors do extra work to seculavi7" tho Sabbath, mak ing a larger pauor for Sunday am bringing, into it extra features, an f'-at'ires that do more to secularize lib." Sabbath than would tho rogiilai pubHcation. N'oliMe among these art to so called funny pictures. He then wont after tho frnnv pic t'ires in vigorous language, declaring that he did not knnv why thov wco ever named "funny pictures;" that ho would admit that his sense of humor " os not acute enoiirh to discover any thing funny about them; that thov mis t'-oated the young in art, renderinir them incapable of enjoying real art: that these same pictures were n schooling and bad language and in meanness, and that therefore they should not be admitted into any Chris tian home. Then he alluded to those who made of God's holy day a holiday. Bless ing is promised to those who do not do their own ways, or find their own pleasure, or speak their own words. Tho Christian Sabbath commemo rates the cnmnletion of the work of redemption, which is greater than t work of creation. '"Twas great to speak a world from naught, 'Twns greater to redeem." If God regarded the Sabbath to commemorate the completion of crea tion as so sacred, what must he think SCHOOL COMMITTEEMEN The following is a complete list of the committeemen appointed at the meeting of the Board ot Education last Monday.
