Methodist Church.
A very impressive service was held
Saturday afternoon with the children.
(Jvey, eighty children came out in the
rain. A number gave their young hearts
to Jesus Sunday morning at the 11
o clock hour. „The pastor received them
into the ehurch and baptised five.
Three great services were held Sunday.
Sunday morning the pastor, Rev. J. F.
Armstrong, delivered a great sermon on
“Heaven.” He stated that one shduld
look forward to going to Heaven which is
a ‘‘real home.”
The Sunday, afternoon service to men
only was a strong appeal to the fathers
to train their children in the right wky.
Emphasizing the responsibility of the
parents to their children.
Rev. E. Myers’ message to the women
only at the same hour was very helpful.
Sunday night with a great crowd, Mr.
Armstrong preached to the sinner. God
is working in the hearts of men and wom
en. People are beginning to think more
seriously of their souls’ salvation.
The singing was exceptionally good
Sunday under the leadership of Dewey
L. Maness. The big choir, augmented
by the congregation; is shouting out the
old time gospel songs. The singing is
the best that has ever been heard in
Concord. The soul stirring songs are
drawing men and women closer to God.
Special music was furnished Sunday
morning by Mrs. Yates and Miss Fisher,
who sweetly sang. “The Old Rugged
Cross.” Sunday night by a local quar
tette composed of Messrs. Fink, Cook,
Suther and Maness.
Interest is growing daily in this re
vival which will continue through next
Sunday.
Morning service 0 o’clock; night ser

AUTHORIZED REPORTER.
Kerr Street Baptist Revival.
The revival started off in fine spirit
with two services Sunday. Mr. Hodge,
the evangelist, was with us last night,
and preached an inspiring sermon. There
was a large congregation present and
the choir was in fine shape and did some
good singing. The preacher took as his
text James 4:14, For what, is your life?
He said in part:
What is your everyday life? Is your
life such as God would be pleased with
seven days in the week. Some people
have the Sunday religion. They are
Sunday Christians and everyday devils.
What is your business life? Are you
more interested in making money than
you are in building character? Do you
think more about the dollars and cents
than you do about the kingdom of God?
What is your social life? What kind
of societies do you belong to? Are the
societies you belong to making you a
better man or woman for God? What is
your church life? Are you a church
booster or a church knocker? Do you
get mafd when things don’t go just as
you want them in your church? Do you
find fault with your preacher. If so
come to" the altar.
What is your inner life? Listen! God
can look into the very soul. God knows
what your very thoughts are. You may
pull the feathers over your bather’s
eyes, and you may fool the preacher, but
you- cannot fool God, and be sure your
sins will find you out.
Four backsliders came for prajer at
thf conclusion of the service.
Service tonight at 7:30. Come aud
worship with us and feel at home.

WOMAN ACCUSES MASSEUR
Has Man Describing Self as B. N. Duke’s
Guard Fined as Masher.
New York \\ T orld.
Frank Fisher, who described himself
as masseur and bodyguard of wealthy
Benjamin N. Duke of Fifth Avenue and
89th street, was, fined, SSO yesterday by
Magistrate Marsh in Harlem Court on
a “masher” complaint lodged by Mrs.
Christina Chamberlain, of No. 48 West
88th Street.

to her doorstep and accosted her; that
she struck him when he persisted in his
attentions, and he ; struck here in return;
and she had him arrested.
Clever Crooks in the Art World.
London, Sept. 22.—Recent complaints
by well-known artists that certain- of
their pictures have been duplicated by
forgers have drawn attention to a sub
ject with Avhich few people, even in art
circles, are acquainted. So skilful is
the modern picture faker that experts
are often deceived. On the continent
there are several schools of forgers, who
reap large sulns by faking pictures for
export to England and America.
Each group has its own style and
method of work. One school, for in
stance, imitates the paintings of Rem
brandt, another Van Dyck, another Ru
bens.
One man in each group is responsible
for copying heads and faces, while an
other occupies himself solely with drap
eries and clothing, and so on. The re
sult of their joint efforts is a marvel of
ingenuity, the smallest details of the or
iginal artist’s work being reproduced
with wonderful accuracy.
To give the effect of age, the forged
picture is stained several times with
varnish, the laSt coat being applied at
a certain temperature. Powdered coffee
and' the white of egg are applied to com
plete the deception. Cracks are imi
tated by covering the canvas with old
glue, and drying it in a special room.
In determining a picture's genuine-*
ness the camera, the microscope, the
X-rays, and analytical chemistry play a
big part Magnified photographs of the
brushwork of the doubtful picture are
compared with others taken from authen
tic pictures by the artists concerned, tiny
fr&gmenss of paint being removed for
-chemical examination.
Booster Trip to Winston-Salem.
Among those who are expected to take
the Boostpr Trip to Winston-Salem next
Thursday are the following: A. F. Hart
sell W. A. Foil, L. T. Hart sell, Jr., J.
Lee Crowell, Jr., and H. W. Blanks.
The purpose of this trip is to arouse in
terest in the Lakes-to-Florida. Highway
in Winston, where the people have been
somewhat apathetic up to the present
tl *Should there be any other men in the
city who are able to make this trip, they
are asked to communicate with Mr.
Blanks at the Chamber of Commerce. The
hour for leaving has been set for one

DR. PEACOCK’S ESCAPADES
WERE VERY SENSATIONAL
# (Continued From Page One)
who was committed to the dangerous In
sane department of the state prison on
June 23, 1921, and who sawed his way
to freedom from this department on
August 30, 1922, was apprehended by
Warden S. J. Busbee, of the state
prison, on Saturday, in El Cajon. Calif.
Peacock is now confined in a California
jail and has given notice he will lght
extradiction.
"For more than two years me prison
officials have kept up a diligent search
for this noted escaped paranoic. On
several occasions it would seem we had
him wdthin our grasp, only to have him
again mysteriously disappear. We have
followed his trail over the continent and
into two foreign countries. Some time
ago we traced him into Los Angeles,
California, and there all trace was lost.
Recently we received information as to
his probable location. On last Sunday
the governor issued extradiction papers
on the governor of California at my re
quest, and upon my affidavit, naming
Warden S. J. Busbee as agent.
“Warden Busbee proceeded imme
diately ta El Cajon. Cal., and experi
enced no difficulty in locating Peacock
and having him arrested and committed
to jail. I am informed by Warden Bus
bee that Peacock will fight extradition.
In contemplation of this Warden Bus
bee was e’othed with necessary auth
, ority prior to his departure to retain
legal counsel.
“Governor Morrison will see that the
state of North Carolina is represented
by able legal talent in our effort to have
Peacock returned to the state prison.
The governor has been of great help to
us in our hunt. Dr. Peacock’s escape
was regretted by state prison officials
more than any bther, and we have left
no stone unturned in our efforts to ef
fect his capture, and finally our efforts
have- met with success, for which we are
thankful.”
DEMOCRATS NAME SAM
BLACK FOR LEGISLATURE
No. 10 Man Nominated For Lower House
in Place of J. B. Sherrill.
Meeting in the party’s headquarters
here Saturday afternoon the Cabarrus
county Democratic executive committee
nominated Sam Black, of No. 10 town
ship, as the party’s nominee for the
lower house of the State Legislature,
Mr. Black was nominated by the com
mittee after J. B. Sherrill, who was nom
inated at the’county convention, had as
sured the committee that sickness in his
family would make it impossible for him
| to attend the sessions of the Legisla
ture.
Major W. A. Foil, who lias served as
chairman of'the executive committee for
the past two years, was unanimously re
elected. '
Evangelistic Services in Associated Re
formed Presbyterian Church.
, Announcements have been made that
evangelistic services are to be held in
the Associate Reformed Presbyterian
Church beginning on Monday night, Sep
' tember 29th and extending through sev
eral: days. Cottage prayer meetings are
| being held in the homes of the church
members. These prayer meetings are
being well attended. There will be two
services each day during the meeting, at
10:30 a. m. and 7:30 p. m. The preach
ing on this occasion is to be done by
Rev. W. A. McAulay, of Greenville, S.
C! Mr. McAulay Is recognized as one of
the best preachers of the denomination,
and is. a .very fine evangelist. He has
just returned from a tour of Europe and
the old coimtry of Ireland, his native
land.
In connection with the A. R. P.
; Church here, it is interesting to note its
rapid progress in the last four years. Its
membership. Sabbath school and every
• branch of activity, has doubled twice.
A fine meeting is anticipated. The
general public is cordially invited to at
tend each service.
Pedestrians Slow Traffic.
Horse-drawn vehicles and slow-moving
trucks should not be allowed on streets
where passenger motor car traffic is
heavy. On streets where slow-moving
vehicles must necessarily impede the
progress of the faster moving cars, the
slower vehicles shoflld be made to hug
the curb.
Left hand turns are always instru
mental in slowing up traffic. In many
cities it would improve traffic conditions
if cars were compelled to go to the right
and around the bfoek rather than make
left-haund turns on streets like Fifth
Avenue, New York.
Complete turns always block traffic.
There again cars should be required
to go around the block.
A study of traffic conditions on Fifth
Avenue will satisfy any one that the
biggest obstacle to the improvement of
traffic conditions on the street is the
failure of the pedestrian- to observe traf
fic signals.
Drive on the Right Side—But Walk on
the Left.
The Progressive Farmer.
tells me that in walking
on public roads I should walk on the
left side. Is that correct?”
It is. On this point Mr. H. K. With
erspoon, of the Nrth Carolina highway
commission, says: “It is against the law_
for pedestrians i to walk on the right side
of State highways. The reasons for this
regulation are obvious. No traffic will
be moving in their direction from the
rear on that side of the road, since mo
tor vehicles keep to the right. On the
left sida of the road they will be facing
any vehicle that is on that side of the
road, whereas on the other side of the
road they would have their backs to the
traffic. On the - left side of the road
there is no danger of being run over.”
How to Say La Follette: Put Accent
on “FolL”
New York World. .
Those wEo follow the personal pref
erence of Senator Robert M. La Follette
will pronounce his name with the accent
on the second syllable, thus—La-FOL
lette. ~ j
This is the pronunciation used by his
family and his associates, although the
habit of, accenting the final syllable is
common among others.
The correct French pronounciation
would give equal weight to all three
syllables, but like many other names in
this country of French origin Senator
La Follette’s name has been modified to
conform with common practice in Eng
lish pronounciation.
