THE LUTHERAN SYNOD. ; Decides Unanimously to Build Church at State University. Hickory. Nov. 11.—Several im-1 I portant actions featured the second i day of the Lutheran synod. A field i secretary to have charge of Sunday schools, Luther leagues and brother hoods was decided on. The executive committee of synod will shortly select such a man. Ily a unanimous vote it \va» decided by synod to erect a Lutheran church at the State university. Plans are already being made to canvass for this cause and , to secure tlie jn-sistance of tlie : finance board of the United Luth- j eran Church of Atneriea. The opinion prevails that around $7.1.000 will be spent in the erection! [ of such a church, though no definite j ! action was taken. The institutions of synod made fine reports, and a strong appeal was j made to the synod to cover its part i in tli£ $.300,000 endowment fund*now being raised for the southern semi , navy. The proposal to establish a Lenoir-Rhyne system of schools, which means the placing ot all Lutheran institutions of learning in the state under one head, is now holding the attention of the synod. From present indications this meas ure will be deferred to another tune. Commemorates Day. At 11 o'clock synod adjourned for 30 minutes to commemorate Arm istice Day, speakers for the occasion being chaplains and former service men in the A. E. F.

STATE RESTS IN CASE OF THE JAIL STORMERS Eight Defendants Releaseed For Want of Sufficient Evidence. Asheville, Nov. 11.—With ranks thinned by admissions on the part of tho solicitor that lie was unable to make out cases against eight of their number, defendants who have been on trial in superior court here this week following wholesale indictments by a Buncombe county grand jury as a re sult of the storming of the county jaii. attempted to weaken the i»osjtion of the prosecution with a host of char acter witnesses.* many of whom were officials of the city and county, dur ing a long and monotonous session yesterday. \_/ The state had rested its case against the 38 defendants who are on trial early in the day, and there folowed vigorous attempts on the part of va rious defense attorneys to obtain uit release of their clients on the ground of insufficient evidence. This resulted in the release of sev en defendants. Herschel King. Geo. Merrill, James Redmond. Eugene Cole,' Sam Griffin, John Jarvis and H. G. Rayburh. Just before court adjourn ed for the day Solicitor Ed.

Higgins, all defendants, took the stand late yes terday and related their version cf what happened on the night of Sep tember 10, when the county jai l was stormed by a mob alleged to have been bent upon lynching Alvin Manse), negro, who has since been s -ntenced to death for criminal assault upon a white woman. . .... All denied that they were impli cated in the mob activity, but admit ted that they were at the jail on the night when the crowd crashed the gate and entered. Bishop declared that he had been deputized by Com missioner C. P. Bartlett to assist in quelling the disturbance. ILliggins de nied that he had entered the jail yard at all. About this time Judge A. M. btack observed that it was "very apparent that somebody stormed the county jail, and equally apparent that some body must be guilty.” The court then called attention to the fact that one attorney had ap- proached him some time before *ri re gal'd to allowing two of his clients to submit to the charge against them. “When a defendant comes into court after that and attempts to fight the charges after that, he must take the fortunes of war. Judge Btufk continued. "In the case of tho* who I s ubmit, the court will be inclined to he lenient.” Winners at the fortieth annual ex hibition of the National Horse Show I Association, which is to be held m !

The team which has been secured to furnish the opposition is the Mt. Pleasant Cadet eleven and the scrap for the title of Cabarrus County. Kannapolis, tlie only other city in the county will be out of it, having dis banded some months ago after foot ball was found to interfere with school work. Very little is known of tlie Cadet aggregation. They have played some I good games this year but are far from as strong as they were last year. The ; Concord and Mt.

The local outfit last week took on Albemarle for a second game and beat the Stanly team in the last few mo ments of the games. Fumbles gave the ball to Albemarle time after time when it looked as though Concord would go for a touchdown. A last minute drive carried the pigskin across the chalk anti a subsequent kick invade tlie exitra point for a j 7-0 score. j Close followers of the football sit ! nation here have been very pleased | with the showing which the High School made. Handicapped by the loss of many of the first string men Coach MeAuley was forced to build a team from the ground up. That the team has won half its games has been a good indication of the progress j made. The game with M. I\ C. I. is to be played at Webb Field at 3:15 o'clock.

Paul yoley, of the naval board, had sent bet a letter which was “an insult." to the Memory of her husband, j Defense counsel sought to prove by her testimony that a navy officer en-! deavored to have her give false testi mony before the Shenandoah board of inquiry by retracting her formal state fnent that Commander Lansdowne was ordered to take the Shenandoah on her fatal flight to the middle west over his protest. The court apd counsel stood as the first woman to testify in the case, took the witness stand and was sworn. She was nervous and plainly weak ' and weary from illness and the try-1 Ing experiences of recent weeks. She i answered in a tremulous voice the j preliminary questions put to qualify j her as a witness. "Did you receive a communication from (’apt.
