Historic Celebration At St. Johns Church - W* I** 1 ** Founders Settled in Piedmont Carolina 20 _ Ago.—Has Given Fifteen Sons to the Ministry. BY B. A. BARRINGER. St. Johns Lutheran Church near Concord, celebrated her 175th anni versary Sunday. All of the speakers on the program were her awn sons whom she has sent into the ministry, or former pastors. On Saturday night Rev. C. E. Ridenhour, of Rowan i County, presented historical sketches I about this congregation. Near 200 I years ago this section of Cabarrus | County was settled by German fami | lies who came from South Germany and the Palatinate sections of Ger many. These people settled along the water courses of Piedemout Carolina and very early planted their churches and school houses. Their religious faith was Lutheran and Reformed, and for many years they worshipped in the same buildings. The true his tory of these pioneers has never been 1 written but awaits the coming histor * ian who will bring to light the strug gles and characteristics of. the thous ands of German settlers who chose North Carolina for their home. St. John’s was organized in 1745 and has worshipped in five different church buildings, the fifth of which was erected in 1845, built of brick and large enough to accommodate 700 peo- I pie. In 1771 this congregation, to gether with St. John’s, Salisbury and I Organ Church, Rowan, sent repre sentatives to Germany to secure a pastor and teacher. As a result two l men were sent over from Hanover, these being Neuseman and Andt, ■ whose descendants yet live in Cabar i rus and Catawba counties. This congregation has given fifteen sons to the Christian ministry, of whom the writer is the youngest. She ■ has been served by twenty-four pas -1 tors and is the mother church of sev ’ en congregations all located around 1 her. The people of St. John’s have * always been liberal givers for all the causes of the church. The people of this section were largely responsible for the establishment of the two Luth : eran schools at Mt. Pleasant. 1 Throughout the years she has been the home church of thousands of peo ple. The cemetery contains the dust of near 5,000 people who at different ! times were on her church roll. In former years as many as 70 and 80 people were confirmed at one time. She has been tire hostess-of a number WANTS FEDERAL CONTROL OF THE COAL INDUSTRY President Urged to Support Measure . Suggested by Coal Commission.

' tj* passenger station at Reidsville, I ’ where in the past several fatalities ' have occurred, was literally turned into a slaughter pen tonight about 7 I o’clock when Southern Railway fast] 1 passenger train No. 35, rounding the j curve at a rapid rate of speed at that | ’ point crashed into an automobile in which were riding four women and r one man. Every member of the auto- j mobile party was killed. The dead: Jack Hilliard Carter, ■ P age 31, of New York and Reids-' ville. s Mrs. Eugene Irvin, age 45, wife of Eugene Irvin, cashier of the Citizens £ Bank here. 1 Mrs. Manton Oliver, age 44, sister l ’ of Jack Carter and wife of the pub- Y lisher of the Reidsville Review. \ Mrs. Lillian L. Oliver, widow of 1 John T. Oliver, of Reidsville. Mrs. Nina Johnson Cone, of New York and late of Asheville, and cousin l_ of Mrs. Manton Oliver, f The accident this evening occurred d at the same spot where about two years ago four members of a family ■t named Pillar were killed, s Mrs. Irvin was driving the ill-fated s car, and the party was en route to the k station to see Mrs. Cone off on the train en route to New York on Jhe e Piedmont Limited 1 which was due about twenty minutes after No. 35. Spectators said the car came to a oi" historic meetings. The first Eng lish speaking Lutheran pastor was ordained here in 1794. The organi gation meeting of the North Carolina Synod was held here in 1803. and many synodical meetings have been held here since. Rev. C. P. Fisher, of China Grove, urged the present day generation to i practice frugality, live simply and i stand by the schools'just as did the founders of Lutheranism in this sec tion. On Sunday morning Rev. M. L. Rid ■ enhour, of Kannapolis, talked on the plaice of the Sunday school in the t church. At the preaching hour Rev. i V. C. R'denhoui*, of Lineolnton. , preached an inspiring sermon on The I Church, taking as his text. “Which is the Church of the Living God.” He i outlined the origin, power, purpose and results of the church. The church ■ originated in God who uses it for • the upbuilding of His Kingdom. The > church, therefore, has divine author ity and receives eternal blessings from i its founder. • The church acts with power for she says in the name of Jesus rise and walk. The purpose of the church is the preaching and teach ing of the word, which consists of the Word and Sacraments and which is taught by three agencies, the home, Sunday school and preaching. The reason why this is not done to a larg er extent is because so many in the church are not in use and are there fore dead. The results of the church have been that millions have passed away conscious of salvation in Christ through faith in Him. The present Church has principles and truth suf ficient to mpve the world but these truths must be applied to the lives of men to get results. In the afternoon and night other good addresses were made by Rev. B. E. Petrea, of Wil mington, Rev. G. O. Ritchie, of Faith, Rev. B. A. Barringer, of Liberty, Rev. E. L. Ritchie, a pastor in Pennsyl vania, and Dr. J. B. Moose, of Chi cago Theological Seminary and a number of former pastors of the con gregation. Os the fifteen ministers St. Johns has sent out, ten are living and nine were present for the home coming. Rev. Smith Petrea was absent but be preached the sermon at St. John's last Sunday*. - .7 , MRS. RUTH DENIES ALL RUMORS OF BREACH Says There Is No Friction Between Her Baseball Husband and Herself.

Signal . bells at the crossing, it is. said, were I ringing and it is though that the noise confused Mrs. Irving, who was driving the open car in which the | party was riding. At any rate the ' car was seen to start up after hav j ing stopped. | According to statements tonight j there was no obstruction at the cross ing. Railroad men allege that No. 35 was running about twelve minutes J late but came to the Carter street • crossing where the accident occurred \ with headlight burning and bell ring | ing.

TEXTILE PUNTS IN J f rn 'lTY WILL STAND j TWO DAYS OF WEEN New Schedule by Southern Power Co. Makes It Nec essary for Plants to Stop 48 Hours Ea<;h Week. DROUGHT"GIVEN AS THE CAUSE | Last Week the Mills Were Asked to “Stand” One Day, But Drougth Is Be coming More Acute. •Due to the continued drought in l this section of the state the Southern I Power Company has found it necefi* | sary to curtail its schedule still fur- | ther and beginning this week all tex- * tile plants served by the company will | stand for two days. Last week the company started it 6 curtailed service by asking all cot- II ton mills served by it to stand for 24 hours, the mills being placed in various zones with one zone observing the new schedule each day. In an \ announcement Saturday company of ficials pointed out that drought eon ' ditions have become worse and for that reason it has been found neces sary to ask the plants' to stand two days in the week. Mills located in Cabarrus county are in zone five and are a6ked to { stand from Thursday noon until Sat- ‘ urday noon, beginning with Thurs day of this week. Last week the mills here were asked to stand from Friday noon until Saturday noon. Mills here all close at. Saturday noon for* the week-end, so tile new schedule means that local mills wijl be closed from Thursday at noon un til Monday morning. So far as is known here the power generated at Muscle Shoals will not be relayed to the Southern Power Company to.aid it during the present crisis. And it is pointed out in some circles, enough power is not being gen- , erated at the government plant now to entirely relieve the shortage in this .. state even if it is relayed to the power. : company which serves local mills, GARf)NFS lvfrGH ? r CALL ON SENATOR , HARRISON — Washington Says May Be Able to Learn What Rockingham Man I Knows of Alleged Plot -1 Special to Greensboro. News. Washington, Aug. 29.—The pros- ; 1 pective governor of North Carolina demands to know the authority for ’ the statement published in Thurs day's Daily News that he had a hand in an “alleged plot” to head off the threat of the retrospective gov ernor of North Carolin to seize the executive mansion and the emolu ments of the governor’s office three I and one-half years hence. Without l giving direct authority it should be stated that if Mr. Gardner desires, he may possibly learn from State Senator Harrison, of Rockingham, what he knows about this* ‘alleged , plot. Air. Gardner also denies the riiarge that he was a lobbyist before the legislature last winter. It is said in Raleigh during a session of the legis lature the term lobbyist among poli tical lawyer of “good standing” has become obsolete. Such lawyers with clients interested in the proceedings of the legislature may descend upon the lobbies of the state house and . buttonhole gentlemen receiving $4 j ( per diem. Their services are now , classed as “legal services” and it is i claimed that any lawyer in good jx>li | tical standing lias the same right to practice law before the legisla’ure as - any admitted lawyer has before the Supreme court. I/obbying lias thus lifted itself by its own bootstraps to a new 1 ethical and moral plane. The ! o’d taint has been taken out of it by translating it into “professional ser vices.’ • Ban Johnson is Behind Huggins in Controversy.
