THE CHARLOTTE NEWS JUNE 27, l921. MONDAY f.i M - TRIBUTE IS PAID TO DR. GAMBRELL "Great Commoner" of Bap tists Topic of Brief Talk at First Baptist. Tribute to the memory of the late Dr. J. . B. Gambrell, "the great com moner of the Baptist denomination," was paid in a brief talk by Dr. Tluther Little, pastor of the First Ba.pti.st church just following' the regular ser mon at that church Sunday morning. Dr. Gambrell died at his Texas home recently at 80 years of age. For two years previous to the May convention Dr. Gambrell was president of the Southern Baptist convention, the larg est religious body of the world. For many years Dr. Gambrell was editor of the Baptist Standard, the Texas Bap tist paper, and later was a teacher in the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, at Fort Worth, Tex. "Dr. Gambrell was like a father to me," said Dr. Little. "I shall never for get when I entered Mississippi College, at Clinton, as- a youn and unsaved man. He was the pastor of the Bap tist church there at that time. I was converted under his ministry. A good many years later I was associated with him in Texas during a pastorate there. He was a great charac-.er and greatly beloved. He had much to do with Make your face a business asset.

During his tour he wrote many articles back to religious papers of this country and his reports upon his return were read with eagerness. His friends believe the tour overtaxed his strength in view of his advanced . years. It was Dr. Gambrell who led the fight on the policy of the War Depart ment to exclude Protestant pastors from soldiers' camps during the war. The fight began when General Fred erick Funston refused to allow Prot estant pastors to conduct religious ser vices in a Texas camp. Leaders in many other Protestant denominations gave support to, Dr. Gammbell in the controversy. While Dr. Gambrell lo3t out when the government sustained General ; Funston, it has been declared that the government would never agam take such a position as it did in aus taining General Funston. Dr. Gambrell was a native of Geor gia and was at one time president of Mercer University, of Macon, the State Eaptist institution. Something like 20 years ago he went to Texas and he soon became known as one of the Baptist leaders of that state. Gradually his influence grew. "BRAINS' OF BIG IDEA. He is given credit for being the "brains" of the $75,000,000 campaign idea which Southern Baptists inaugu rated at the Atlanta convention two years ago. The idea and the fact that he was recognized as a leader mads him president of the convention held in that city. A year later he was re elected at the Washington convention, being one of the few men ever to serve as president of the body, for more than one year. It was as editor, author and teacher that Dr. - Gambrell .was best known. Virtually every Baptist preacher of the South looked to Dr. Gambrell as an authority on doctrinal questions, and he was equally as well known as a man thoroughly versed in Baptist history and practices. At the conclusion of Dr. Little's talk, Mrs. Minnie . Wriston Smith sang "Crossing the Bar." 1919 PRODUCTION OFF. Washington, June 27. Production cf apples in the United States in 1918, ac cording . to preliminary figures from the 1920 census of agriculture, declined 8,666,164 bushels, or 6 per cent as com pared with production ten years before, when the harvest reached 145,412,31 i bushels.

There were 2,090,132, more males than females in the United States in 1920, mak ing the ratio 104 to 100 as compared with 106 to every hundred females in the period of 1900-10, the Cen sus Bureau announced Sunday night. A preponderance of males . has been shown in every census, duo primarily, the announcement said, to the considerable number of foreign bora residents among whom tho males greatly outnumber the opp site sex. Thirteen per cent of the country's total population in 1920 was foreign born. Every state except Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York, North Car olina, South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama had excess of males over females. These seven states had ratios ranging from 96.3 to 100 for Massachusetts, to 99.9 for North Carolina. The District of Columbia has far greater excess of females than any state, its ratio being only 87 to 100, and Nevada had 148.4 males to every 100 females, the highest ratio of any state, the statement showed.

Passenger Agent, Charlotte, N. C. W. L. McMORRIS, General Passenger Agent, Norfolk, Va. There will be a first frost of the fall season on the night of September 24, if signs implicitlly believed in by farm ers and dwellers in the rural districts hold good. Last Thursday night the first- katydid of the season was heard, and three months from the date the first frost of the autumn season may be expected, many declare. Farmers and others at the court house Monday were commenting on the fact and half a dozen of them in one group testified that they heard the katydid for, the first time this year Thursday night. Several people who live in the city and were present while the matter was being discussed said they also heard katydids on that night. Charles H. Caldwell, member of the Mecklenburg county board of educa tion, who attended the injunction hear- inff brought by the Rama community Saturday against the school board at tended the hearing and gave it close attention, but that didn't prevent his showing interest when the subject of katydids came up. Mr. Caldwell, who is a keen observer of Nature's ways and one of the most successful farmers in Crab Orchard township said it had been a commonly accepted saying lin the country-side since his boyhood days and before that when the lonesome and melancholy cry of the katydid was heard it could be taken as an accurate forecast that frost, was just three months away.. The sound made by the katydid, it is said, is made by the fly rubbing its 1 wings together as it reposes on the limb of a tree or a blade of grass. It is commonly accepted that it does not make its appearance until there has been a brief period of quite typical hot summer weather. Since last Thursday night the insect has been heard nightly and daily. Num bers of people who sought the cooler breezes of the countryside Sunday re port that the katydid was heard with great frequency as they sped along thickets and wood clums by the road side.
