RGE AUDIENC NOTED CHURCHS Pageant Saturday Night Attended by Great CrowdLectures and Addresses Appreciated Lutheran Churches Hear Appeals Conference Ends Today Those who were fo fortunate as to be in the la rye crowd that filled the college auditorium Saturday night to witness the production of "A Pageant of Home Missions," received lasting impressions of how America is called tpon to preach the gospel of Christ .3 jus here at home to every nation as I people in the world. MJ'.'ion3 of j signers are coming to America's : Lores as to a "promised land." ytavn ir ; for a knowledge of Christ. How ! ,W we have been to speak to them fehout the Savior, and how indifferent ve have been about Christianizing them. These foreign people do our lough, heavy' work; they laboi pa tiently in building up our groat cities, in developing our great resources; they iive among us in ignorance and vice; we have been indifferent of their spiritual life. Many of trem return to their home-land, and if their lives h-we not been touched by the religion (jf Jesus Christ, their influence against Christianity is far greater than the influence of the missionaries we send to them; and those that tarry in our land must be brought to Christ if they tre to become good citizens. "Children of the Wor.d." Following the "pageant" an illus trated lecture, "The Children of the World," was given by Mrs. Cronk blowing small children in theiv queer cradles, showing children at their play, children in school, in their homes, and whether they were white, or da."k, trown or yellow, they were still chil dren, with similar desires, tastes, and instincts. Mrs. Cronk sho.vcd how that the same Cod had created these (.'liferent people. equal iti His sight, f.r-4 how their lives arc just as prec ious in His sight as our own, ond how v.c have been peculiarly chosen to carry out the great commission to those who know not the Lord. At the Churches. ' , Short, thrilling talks were made to the different Sunday schools by the leaders in the Missionary Training Conference, which is here in Hickory now. These talks were very profit able and interesting. At 11 o'clock great addresses were made by Dr. Cronk at Holy Trinity, by Dr. Holland at St. Andrew's, and by Dr. Fatterson at Betl any. Dr. Holland took his text from 2 bamuel 23:17." David thirsted for a drink, of water from a spring that was sur rounded by the enemies of Israel. Three of David's mighty men forced their way through the rank of the enemy, secured the water, and brought ni,i TTi heart melted at !he .i.r.n f tViPSfi mnrhtv men who bad taken their' lives in their han Is i to secure for him a drink oi water j that would quench J thirst. and he j could not drink in selfishness what ad , mit as a sacred libation unto the Lord. Then Dr. Holland showen now uuu the religion we now enjoy has been bought with the blood of our fathers martyrs to their faith, and how that we should not in selfishness keep it for ourselves entirely, but send it to the heathen lands as a sacred libation vnto the Lord. .... The Mass Meeting. ' At the muss meeting last night at Holy Trinity, Dr. Holland made a strong appeal for foreign missions before a great crowd that filled the church. He also urged the Lmnevan churches of Catawba county to take for their individual concern, the sup port of Dr. Lippanl in Japan. Dr Patterson followed with r. pas sionate appeal to build churches for our own people here in our own iand. He advocated a permanent extension fund, out of which tuna loans wCi to be made to help build "house of the Lord." Ho also showed that we cannot do effective foreign work un til v.c are better prepared at home. Dr. Patterson's appeal was given the ' closest attention by the great audience before him.

Mr. li. E. Whitener, chief of the local company, has received a letter from Oapt. Sherwood Brockwell of the state insurance department relative to the observance of the day. The local firemen plan to make a fire test run to each of the white schools on Friday, Oct. 8, when the children by be summoned from the building by (ire drills.

MUCH INTEREST 15 WW IN INSTITUTE WEST INDIANS A READY FOR BIG WAR (By the Associated Press) Kingston, Jamaica, Sept. 20. Re ports from Jamaica and other West Indian possessions of the British em pire indicate that a sufficient number of men to form a complete regiment al unit will be ready to sail for Eng land soon, although definite word has not been given as to when the call for them will be made. Already hun dreds of the pick of West Indian youths have volunteered and at their own cost and charges have found their way to England to offer themselves as recruits for Kitchener's army, and even greater numbers have enlisted in the various Canadian, contingents which have gone or are going to the front. The colonies are not in a-position to equip the men; they are merely fur nishing the raw material which will be trained and armed in England. In addition to providing for a complete regiment, the islands will undertake to fill the gaps caused by inevitable losses from time to time, to the extent of at least fifty per cent of the orig inal number. All the British colonies in the West Indies have voluntarily subscribed money or supplies to meet the em pire's needs -for the purchase of aero planes, machine guns, and for inci dentals such as smoking supplies for the men in the trenches. In the case of Jamaica the government voted a sum of $250,000 which was us-d to send a cargo of sugar to the mother country, while by public subscription funds have been collected to the sum of $200,000 for other objects. In a country where the average earning of 75 per cent of the population is not more than $120 a year, and where citizens of opulence are scarce, it is declared that the island's showing has been a remarkably patriotic one NEW SPECIES OF FISH IS OFFERED IN SWEDEN (By the Associated Press) Stockholm, Sweden, Sept. 20. Dur ing the past few months of the war, tremendous quantities of a species of fish unknown to Scandinavian waters, and driven in, it is supposed, by -the disturbance of the sea caused by sub marine warfare, have been caught off the Swedish coast near Gothenburg and appear as a novelty on the menus of the restaurants in Stockholm. Al though these fish are said to be com mon in southern seas where they are known as "ton" fish, they have never before been caught in this part of , the world. A record catch was made a few days ago near Gothenburg by a man who brought in ybU hsn, every one of them weighing more than 150 kilos. Since more of these fish are taken in daily than can possibly be used for food, oil has been made from- them, but it is said to be ot an in ferior sort and hardly worth the cost of manufacture. With the exception of this gratui tous offering, Sweden is by no means oversupplied with food. Prices offer ed for food abroad, particularly in Germany, have been so enticing, and exports have consequently been so large that Sweden now finds herself in the predicament of not having enough supplies tor herseii. "HONOR TO WHOM HONOR IS DUE." At a recent meeting of the Library Association, one of the directors called attention to the earnest and faithful efforts on the part of Miss Emily Wheeler and Mrs. O. M. Royster in past years, to have a good library in Hickory. One of these ladies was heard to say that they were tired, that they have been trying for twenty-five years and have so little to show for their work. In the hereafter we are to be rewarded for what we have tried to do and not what we actually accomplish. The names of Miss Josie Person, Mrs. James Martin, Miss Mary Geit ner, Mrs. Graves, who does not live here now, of Mr. Amidas Link, who has passed away, and of the Traveler's Club should be mentioned in this con nection. Perhaps if they are tired their mantels will fall on those who are not. and in the near future we hope we will have a library not to be ashamed of. MRS. W. B. MENZIES. AUDITORS START AT Messrs. C. L. Smith and John W. Todd, accountants of Charlotte, today began an audit of the books of the Brookford Mills as a result of proceea ings instituted some itme ago by Messrs. W. H. Shuford and J. A.

Passengers reaching here today from London re late a thrilling fight in the air be tween Zeppelins and aeroplanes. There was said to have been three Zeppelins. One of the passengers said one block of warehouses was destroyed and a tenement six-story building was rip ped through, killing a dozen women and children as they slept. Several bombs, according to eye witnesses, fell near three hospitals in a cluster. The principal one was oc cupied by soldiers. All three were rocked to their foundation and not a pane of glass was left. The soldiers were moved from their cots to the streets pending repairs. The raid occurred on the night of September 28, a raid the previous night having reached the outskirts of the city, but not the heart. Persons in the Metropole and Victoria hotels were awaked as the British aeroplanes took wings to reoel the invaders. According to some passengers, the lights were turned off and men and women fought for vehicles to carry them home. Other passengers said there was no panic. Tiny aircraft guns pumped missiles into the air. Suddenly from evetfy section of London the sky was swept by long white beams from search-lights. When a Zeppelin was found a dozen or more search-lights focussed their rays on it, stretching back to scattered points in the city like a long, fancy fan. Two search-lights centered on a Zeppelin, while the others continued to search the sky. The roar of guns, from the city was punctuated at in tervals by the explosions of bombs, which fell near Newgate and Helbcnt, and Blomfield street, near the Liver pool street station and near the water front. There was hardly a space of five seconds during the ten-minutes' bom bardment that the sky was not whit ened by the light of exploding shells. Thousands walked thes treets or stood m groups gazing up ward, dressed on ly in their night clothes. The spits of flame seemed to be sprinkling their targets around a Zep pelin. Meanwhile a Zeppelin man ouver seemed to be in progress, and this ended when a shell burst under it. A sudden dip and the search-lights lost the Zeppelin. Then the lights found the vessel, which, after maneuv ering, ascaped in the dark. London went to bed that night wrath, but not with fear. Next day they went out to see what damage had been done. Having noticed that the sky near St. Pauls was red as with fire, they went in that direction first. They found the shells of several build ings standing. ttUXit MARKETS uttm NEW YORK STOCKS (By the Associated Press) New York, Sept. 20.

ONLY ONE LIFE LOST ON BIG (By the Associated Press) Halifax, Sept. 20. The Greek steamer Athenia was destroyed by fire at sea with the loss of one life, accord-" ing to a message received today. The steamer Tuscania rescued 400 passen gers and crew and a steamer rescued Gl others. The message from the Tus cania was dated 7 a. m. today and was the first official word from the fire. The origin was not stated. News of the abandonment of the vessel came last night in radiograms from the Tuscania, which had respond ed to the Athenia's first call. The captain of the Tuscania said he was standing by ready to convoy her into port. Apparently the spread of the fire was rapid, for shortly another brief message said the ship had been abandoned. EDITOR MORTON'S MOTHER IS DEAD AT LEASBURG Mr. E. V. Morton, editor of the Hick ory Democrat, was called to Leasburg, Caswell county, by the death of his mother, Mrs. I. F. Morton, who died there Saturday night at the advanced age of 81 years. Mrs. Morton was the mother of eleven living children, was a life-long member of the Metho dist church, and was a fine type of Christian womanhood. Editor Morton will have the sympathy of many friends. He is expected to return to the city . tonight. ROCKEFELLER AT TRINIDAD (By the Associated Press) Trinidad, Col., Sept. 20. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., arrived here today to inspect his property. Mr. Rockefeller and party will spend two or three days here visiting the Colorado coal fields. JAPANESE ENTERPRISES ARE HELD UP BY WAR Tokio, Sept. 20. It is considered probable that a number of enterprises projected by the government calling for the expenditure of $20,000,000 this year will be postponed, at least in part, on account of the revenue falling short of the expected amounts. The nev minister of finance, T. Taketomi, is quoted in the newspapers as predicting that the European war will cause a decrease in revenue of about $5,000, 000, as compared with the estimates for the present fiscal year. In March of 1916 Japan must re deem $15,000,000 worth of short-term railroad bonds placed in London early this year. As difficulty. would be found in issuing a new loan in Europe the government will probably float a do mestic loan. The general financial conditions caused by the war have forced Japan ese banks to reduce their yearly in terest on fixed deposits to 4 per cent. Before the war the rate was 6 per cent. The deficit caused by the war is be ing made good in part by supplying munitions to the allies and by occupy ing markets hitherto held by Germany. The great need, however, is for ships. Every shipyard in Japan is at work building vessels, but not enough can be turned out. The removal of the Pacific mail steamers is a great blow to exporters. The exportation of raw silk to Kus cAnriilv increasing: owing to the decrease in the Russian supply from France, Germany and Italy. Enor mous quantities of Japanese tea and camphor are likewise sent to Russia. A heavy consignment of sugar is awaiting shipment to England. TO Tokio, Sept. 20. The Chemical In dustrial Investigation Society is work ing in conjunction with the govern ment in an effort to obtain an inde pendent home supply of phosphorus and hydro-cmorate oi pv - stitutes for these materials which are indispensable in the manufacture ot matches, an industry of large propor tions in Japan. Before the war these materials were imported almost en tirely from Germany. The supplj having been exhausted and importa tions having ceased, the match in dustry faces a serious situation. Mr. R. L. Shuford was a visitor to the city today.

ARCHIBALD IS SAIJQ n I u (By the Associated Press) New York, Sept. v 20. James F. J. Archibald, the American correspon dent who was intercepted by British authorities while carrying messages from Doctor Dumba, the Austrian am bassador, arrived today. Secret-service men met him at the port and went to his room, where they searched his belongings. They are reported to have taken away his cane. Archibald de nied this. After leaving quarantine Archibald said: "I do not know anything about the situation here. It is perfectly unjust. I took the letter from Ambassador Dumba without knowledge of its con tents and entirely unwittingly of its nature. That's all I care to say." Archibald said he would have more to say later. Charles Mercer, his sec l etary, met him later, and Mercer said Archibald would not care to issue a statement. Archibald will go to Wash ington soon. SOME CORN Mr. J. F. Abernethy has placed in the window of the Abernethy Hard ware Company a stalk of corn con taining six well-filled ears.

The Russian army endangered since the fall of Vilna by the German encircling move ment is estimated variously from 250, 000 to 500,000 men. The conditions under which the Russians are attempt ing to extricate themselves furnish a striking parallel to those wnich fol lowed the capture of Warvaw. They may precipitate one of the greatest battles fought on the eastern front. - Although no official confirmation from Petrograd has been received on the fall of Vilna, the British press have accepted it as true. So far as can be judged Field Marshal von Hin denburg's troops have thrown a loop about the Russians, and are not only in their rear, but are menacing the few remaining wagon roads to the south. Apparently the only way in which the retiring forces may amel iorate the seemingly bad situation Is by a counter blow. The Russians express confidence in the outcome of the battle, which must be decided before complete success falls to one side or the other, but with their northern armies closely held along the Duna and the German flank well protected by their cavalry which recently occupied Widsy, across the Vilna-Petrograd Railway, it seems im possible that any aid can come to them from that direction. The battle seemingly must be fought out between the troops now in the district between Vilna, Lida and Slunim, with the assistance of any re inforcements that can be spared to hold the German force which has reached Vileika. At the southern end of the line General Ivanoff is keeping Field Marshal von Mackensen at arm's length from the fortress of Rovno, the key to the route to Kiev and in counter-attacks has retaken a num ber of villages both in Volhynia and Galicia. Hope in Hindenburg. It seems apparent from the inability of the Austro-Germans to hold their positions in the southern area that they have sent reinforcements from that front to Field Marshal von Hin denbarg's northern army, which, as heretofore, is expected to score the biggest success. Both the Germans and the French claim minor victories on the western front, but neither there nor in the Italian theatre nor in the Dardanelles have any events of any great mo ment been reported. The political situation in the Balkans is still shrouded with con siderable mystery. The Bulgarians having secured what they wanted from Turkey in the cession of. a rail way line appear to be well satisfied for the present. But there is now talk in Berlin of Bulgarians taking by force, if they cannot get it otherwise, the portions of Macedonia taken from them by the Serbians and Greeks during the last Balkan war. It is as serted that the Bulgarians have called to the colors all the Macedonian re cruits now in Bulgaria, and that gen erally there is a warlike feeling in existence among the Bulgars. It was pointed out that von Hinden burg's cavalry has penetrated so deep ly into hostile territory that it has created a salient open to attack if the Russians should be able to support it !
