NEWS OF THE CHURCHES
The Epiest If ill Revival.
When Dr. G. T. Rowe began to preach
last night there was before him the larg
er congregation since Sunday night and
rhi* seemed to inspire him for he preached
a sermon of unusual power, and the con
gregation was most visibly effected. The
singing drew from the Nashville preach
et the statement that lie had never heard
better music anywhere at this stage of
meeting. Friday night is young
people's night. Os course everybody of i
am age is urged to come. A number
of ' the preachers of various denomina
tions in the city were present last night.
The sermon was from the' 26th chap
ter of Exodus, and took the form of
answers to three questions; Why be on
tlie J.ord’s side? Who is on the Lords
side? and what those on the lairds side
should do.
The reasons given for being on that
-ide were that it is the place of eoinpan
iousliip with God and good people: it is
the right side, it is the only place of
rfety it is both temporarily and eter
'allv 'profitable, and it is the fanning
l lie second ’question was answered b\
statement that everybody who sin
r. ill v wants to be is on the Thirds side.
Wlitii Jesus said. "He that comest unto
\| will in no wise cast out." he really
ineaiit what he said. Eon version, which
is simply turning to God is as simple
on the human as it is mysterious on the
divine side. ; 1
All who arc upon the Lord’s side are
called upon to come out in the open
where the battle is on. When Elijah
complained that he only was left. End
told him that thety were seven thousand
win* had not bowed to Baal. huQ they
had nor been out in the open, and the
prophet had been compelled to tight the
battle of tin* Lord alone. Every man
s hoi rid get on the Lords side; stay on
it. and work for it. PASTOR.
West Concord Baptist Church.
The revival at West Concord Baptist
Church began Sunday night and is hc'-
ing attended by a large crowd. The

cial song "No Disappointment in Heav
en" was enjoyed by all. Rev. M. I. Har
ris. of Hickory,—X»VC is.doing Abe

arc inspiring and uplifting: His
ject last night was "Wading Water.

“The Mystery of I^ove.’’
Just a few moments before ue died,
Editor J. .1. Farris, of High Point, was
presented with a token of appreciation
by the High Point Club for his unselfish
public service. His response was a
gem. showing that only his intimates
knew that Mr. Farris had both a beau
tiful spirit and beautiful way : of express
ing himself. His "Response—they were
his last words —when the presentation
was made, are worth preserving. He.
said: . ■
"When my doctor tells me that 1 am
well. I shall ask for the opportunity,
fellow Rotarians. for expressing my grat
titude and deep appreciation for the
kind words spoken about me by the club,
and for#the beautiful parchment testi
monial which you have so kindly given
me. The gift will be cherished as long
as 1 live and handed down to my boys
as a valued heritage.
"If in my humble Way I have added
to the upbuilding of this city which I
love so well, and if in so doing any of
yi n have benetitted materially, I am
happy. There is neither malice nor
envy in my heart for any man. I love
every one of you—you know it —but I
like to tell you so. We think of flip
mystery of life.; we ponder over the
mystery of death, bur the greatest of all
mysteries is the mystery of love.”

BROTHERLY LOVE
Farmer Takes 21 Years In Pen to Save
Twin Brothers.
I Winchester. Ky., Oct. o.—What is con
sidered a most remarkable example of
brotherly love and -sacrifice will be wit
nessed tomorrow when John Schumacher,
farmer, 30 years old, will enter the State
penitentiary to serve a term of 21 years
for the murder of his father. The elder
brother, it is said: accepted and even
sought this sentence to save his twin
! brothers, Herbert and Hobart, 20, from
i having to undergo the strain of a trial
together with what might have been
(duster results.
Schumacher made a plea of guilty as a
dramatic finale of what had promised
to be a long court fight. Through an
agreement with the trial court, Sch
maeher shouldered the entire blame for
the killing, thereby exonerating the twins,
who had been under indictment as ac
f complices.
“I killed my father," said tin* elder
Schumacher, "but 1 had to do it. and
my brothers an- innocent. 1 j would
rather die than see them suffer."
The- brothers were greatly affected by
their kinsman’s acceptance of long pun
ishment to save them, as proof had
strongly connected them with the case, it
was alleged. They, however, had never
attempted io place blame for the murder
on their elder brother, but had said they
knew nothin? of the actual killing, but
one’said he knew John and the father
had quarrelled violently; _
Sehumaher had been convicted and
given a long term, but his attorneys won
a rehearing. He was released under
bond which friends promptly furnished.
•Schumacher then went to the farming
section and secured work in an effort
to earn money to pay the expenses of
hies new trial, but had not been able to
earn much. A chain **f misfortunes had
forced him to give up his position and
he was not in financial condition to make
another fight. Then he began to think
over the matter and the serious situation
facing his younger brothers became plain.
His plean of guilty and acceptance of
all blame followed.
Schumacher seemed almost exalted in
spirit when lie had been sentenced and
his twin brothers released, and he re
garded himself as somewhat of a martyr
All their lives he had looked after the
two brothers and he had determined to
continue helping them.
* The killing occurred on the Schumach
er'farm. The father and'son quarrelled
over a division of household furnishings.
The two were alone in the, home when
n shot was heard. A passerby went in
and found the body of the elder Scliu
niacher with a great hole blown through
liis hack, with a shotgun. John Scliu
jnfloJicr, the son. in an adjoining
room. He fuade Hr tie attempt at de
nial When .arrested. The prosecution
claimed the twins- had beep stationed
som? distance'H\vayc to prevent officials
or others*- reaching the thyme. This,
however, was never proven.
MARIE PREYOST IN
SUPER-FLAPPER PICTURE
Famous Bathing Beauty in “The Beau
tiful and Damned.”
Since Marie I'revost quit the comedy
field as a bathing beauty and hung up
the raiment of the beach; she is said to
have never worn such ravising clothes
as ohe wears- ip "The . Beautiful and
Damned." the F.^ Scott Fitzgerald novel
picturized by the Warner. Brothers. It
will be shown at the Pastime Theatre,
Wednesday and Thursday.
The flapper’s secret obsession is how
to wear clothes in such a manner as to
bring out every .charm she possesses.
Rich girls, poor girls, all girls think of
this constantly, and it must be pretty
nearly true, for Solomon in all his glory
was never arrayed as one of tlies twen
tieth century heart-smashers.
All of which brings for-tli the fact that
Marie Prevost. whose chief hobby is de
signing her own clothes for screen ap
pearances, has a fe,w- njfty creations of
latest style on display in her new starr
ing vehicle, "The Beautiful and Damped."
"The Beautiful and Damned" is a
Itory of super-flappers and super-high
fife in New York* and of Gloria Gilbert's
marriage to young Anthony Patch, whose
career eonsists of two things: dancing
attendance on his bewitching wife and
waiting for his rich grandfather to die
and bequeath his millions.
Jufct how wild a wild party can be is
shown in this picture, presenting con
trasts between the upright and puri
tanical ways of the older generation and
tin* giddiness of the new.
For Fire Prevention Week.
Raleigh, Oct.. I.—-In connection with
Fire Prevention Week in North Caro
lina October 8-13. the State Department
of Insurance has named four general fire
precautions, which, it is said, if followed,
will prevent the greater number of avoid
able fires, which last year caused a loss
estimated to be about $35)1,303,000,
The precautions named follow:
"1. Industrial plants, mercantile es
tablishments and homes shouldy be
thoroughly inspected to determine whe
ther dangerous conditions are permitted
to exist.
"2. General cleanliness should be a
large contributing factor jn reducing fire,
losses. Preventable fires seldom start
in clean places.
"3. Many fires in homes would result
in little or no damage if first aid appa
ratus, such as extinguishers, were kept
handy and m readiness for service.
"4. Every man, woman and child should
know the location of the fire alarm box
nearest to their home, place of business,
or school and should learn how to turn
in an alarm."

Columbia. S. C.. Oct. I—Refusing *to
grant the state railroad commission’s pe
tition for an injunction of public vehicles

that the South Carolina railroad com
mission has no authority to regulate au
tomobiles operating in public service.
The railroad commission recently sH
forth a series of rules attempting to reg
ulate public service automobiles. One
of the requirements was that the driv
ers or owners of the automobiles for
lure, furnish surety bond. The drivers
in possing the petition of the commis
sion. contended that the regulations were
unconstitutional.

Motion pictures of the battle of the

’’ These pictures show conclusively that

' On only one occasion did he retire:to
1 the farthest corner of the ring. Instead
I lie circled around the challenger and
I usually worked from behind. At one

body of his foe and assumed a position
’ only a few feet away, awaiting Firpo to

• Referee Johnny Gallagher certainly

Who is this Johnny Gallagher? New

The craft Is destroyed In a gale

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
She fought back the instinct to
scream out her story from the door

sore and true that it partook of a
quality of infallibility, she checked
her wild pace before she crossed the
threshold. Everything depended on
Ned and the cool, strong quality of
Ned’s nerves. She caught her breath
In a curious deep gasp, then stepped
into the room.
Then that gasp became very nearly
a sob. The way of deliverance was
not clear. A wrinkled native wo
man, an Aleut or an Eskimo, who
was evidently Doomsdorfs wife,
looked up at her with dark inscrut
able eyes from the opposite side of
the room.
The whole picture went home to
Bess in a glance. Lenore was hud

warmth, already shaking off the

with a sense of unutterable irony.
Evidently he bad no suspicion of the
real truth.
He looked up as Bess entered. Part
ly because the light was dim, partly
because he was absorbed in the work
of caring for Lenore to the exclusion
of all other thought, he failed to see
the drawn look of horror on Bess'
face. **lll need a little help here.
Miss Gilbert,” he said. “I want to
get this girl to bed. The night
seemed to go harder with her than
with the rest of us, and rest is the
beat thing for her.”
Bess almost sobbed aloud.
At that instant she knew she must
work alone. She must give no sign
of her own desperation before this
stolid squaw. And yet she almost
screamed with horror when she real
ized that any second she might hear
Doomsdorfs step on the threshold.
She glanced about till sfie located the
Russian's rifle, hung on the wall al
most in front of the squaw’s chair.
“Did you hear a shot?” she ask-d.
With all the powers of her spirit, she
kept her voice commonplace. ca.<ur,|
“Yes," Ned answered. “It wasn’t
anything—was it?’* His tone became
cold. “Will you’plpase fftve rri.- a

Now the Indian was getting up ,
and presently was lifting down the
weapon. But she did not put it at

back the lever, revealing the empty

messages indicating that preparations

r\ like her husband, the brown
squaw wag a devotee of cruelty,
she must have received great
satisfaction from the sight of tha*
slender, girlish figure standing tn
the gloom of the cabin. The fact
that there were no shells In the rifle
—otherwise a desperate agent of
escape—seemed nothing less than
the death of hope.
She heard Doomsdorfs heavy step
at the door.
The man came in, for an instant
standing framed by the doorway, the
light of morning behind him.
He turned contemptuously to Ned.
“What’s the matter?" he asked.
Startled and Indignant at the
tone, Ned instinctively straightened.
“I didn’t say anything was the nut

“Knutsen—has gone on. Hell

Appalled, unbelieving, yet obeying
a racial instinct that goes beck to
the rootß of time. Ned dropped the
girl from his arms and leaped to his
feet. His eyes blazed with a magnifi
cent burst of fury, and a mighty
oath was at his lips. ‘‘You—” he
began.
Yet no second word came. Dooms
dorfs great body lunged across the
room with the ferocity and might of
a charging bear. His arm went out
like a Javelin, great fingers extended,
and clutched with the effect of a

Th» squaw had not sat supine la
this stress. With the swiftness and
dexterity of an anirmd, g be had
sprang to Intercept ths'dc&dly blow
hurling the girl back by her
upon the latter’s shoulder.
Except for the huddled heap In the
blood-spattered corner of the cabin,
It was as ls It bad never happened.
The squaw was again stolid, moving
slowly back to her chair; Doomsdorf
breathed quietly and evenly. The
two girls stood staring in speechless
honor.
**l hope there won’t be any moze
of that," Doomsdorf said quietly.
The sooner we get these little mat
ten straightened out, the better for
all concerned. It Isn’t pleasant to be
hammered to pieces. Is It?”
He took one step toward Ned, and
Lenore started to scream again. Bat
be inflicted no further punishment
He reached a strong band, seized
Ned’s shoulder, and snatched him to
his feet.
Racked by pain but.fully conscious,
Ned looked Into the glittering eyes.
It was no longer possible to dis
believe In this hairy giant before him.
Doomsdorf walked to the door and
threw it wide.
“There’s snow and cold eat there."
His voice was deeply sober. “Death,
too—sure as you’re standing here.
A weakling like you can’t live In
that, out there. None of your kind
can stand it —they'd die like so many
sheep. And as a result you have to
bow down and serve the man that
can!"
Ned had no answer. The greatest
fear of his life was clamping down
upon him.
“That’s the law up here— that the
weak have to serve the strong. I’ve
beat the North at Its own game, and
It serves me. Just as you’re going to
serve me now. You can go ont
there If you like—if you prefer to
die. There’s no boat to carry you off.
There never will be a boat to carry
you off.”
He paused, smiling grimly; then
with an explosive motion, pulled
back the lid of the stove and threw
in another log. “Sit down, why don't
you?” he invited. "I don’t Insist on
my servants standing up always In
my presence. You'll have to sit
down sometime, you know.”
Lenore, wholly despondent, sank :
back In her seat. To show that he |
was still her protector. Ned stood be- j
hind her, his hands resting on the j
back of her chair. Bess stole to 1
little rough seat between them and ■
the squaw.
A single great chair was left va
cant, almost in the middle of the \
circle. Doomsdorf glanced once j
about the room as if guarding against j
any possibility of surprise attack by =
his prisoners, then sat down easily \
himself. "Excuse me for not mak
ing you known to my women.” ks j
began. “In fact, I haven't even j
learned your own names. She **> 1
