Wh n a prisoner lias - beenT sen- tracted a serious disease while in prison appeals to me strongly, for in such cases the law does not contemplate severe : punishment under such circumstances. This case is different. Y "James Wilcox has never re- pented, but has as this evidence establishes, the korrible secret in his heart that was there on the night of November 26. 1901. A pardon on the ground of his im proper conviction would be a vin dication of him and a condemna tion of the law and the Adminis tration of the law. A-great num ber of people have asked his par don. It is apparent that many ot them haYe no conception of the evidence. There is only one voice raised against him and that is the cry of a mother's heart that is always constant. She, with justice on her side, is the major ity." ENTERTAINMENT at Elm Grove Hall by The Edgewood School Tuesday Evening, April 2?, 1915, 8 O'clock PROGRAM.

In one of the busiest streets of Peking this sign is huug out every Snnday : "Today is wqrehip day.' Thi3 is striking to - the Chinese, Who for forty centuries have work ed without ceasing, bartering and eliing every day in the year. The ten Chinese girls, the first sent to America to ba educated on the indemnity fund, are all Chris tians, aud eight are daughters of Chinese pastors. They were chos en by competitive examination in Peking. Tliere has never bsen a greater pprnanity for Amerian missious. hau today. friiere is nothing bet ter known to ail the Chinese than Mr. Wilson's peace policy. ,, l am hankful&s never bsfore for being an American citizen and mission ary to China. Chitia sees Christ in America's foreign policy. An educated Chinaman told me the other clay : "Only America and China are not involved, yet not for the same reason, China is notable America is not willing.": H. H. M'MILLAN Soochow, China. Every third child born into the world looks into the face of a Chinese mother; every third pah given in marriage plight their troth in a Chiuase cup of wine ; every inira xirpuan - weeping through: the day; eVery third ppthrohhe thenight, is in China-; every third person who comes to die is a Chinese. v In spite of the war, . contridu tions for the work of the Engiirh church missionary societies have been maintaiued, and those of the S. P. G. have actually increased in every departmsnt. This is a splendid demonstration of the way in which the sorrows and misfor- tunes of the war are deepening the earnestness and devotion of all nations. Corapeake News.

"War or So War" Every time a great crisis occurs, Life Insurance has' an opportu nity to show what a giant ,of - ucus uc jjiaucu upon jts snouia -ders, but it never shirks never: hesitater-or groans. f ' When the titanic took lts awful plunge, Carrying . 1500 human souls into $f he deep, thou sands of widows .and orphans were left throughout thewod. But Life- insurance accepted the burden without the quiver of a muscle and spread its protection around the globe. When,' seven years ago, the financial world wasJabcring un der an acute attack of indigestion, due to "undigested securities," money was so tight that a substi tute for it was issued in various parts of the nation. People could not get their own money. en but of savings banks with out a wait, but Life Insurance furnished spot cash -to its policy holders upon application. Today when a - gigantic strug gle wages across theseas and the -cash' has again sought cover, meiu find it difficult to get the accus tomed loans from banks and other money lenders to carry on their business. But when they remember their Life Insurance, they find the solution. Life In surance today is saving thousands of men all over the nation not only embarrassment but acutal failure. When you go forth on your daily rounds, fail not to pay Life Insurance the handsome tribute which she so richly deserves. Bhe is not only the friend of the yidow and orphan, but the real friend of the business man. In times of greatest financial peril, and distress,, she is your .surest friend. For Best in Life Insurance at Lowest Net Cost it is the Union Central Life. y t BARLOW HARKELL, Special Agent. Edenton, N. C.
