The Lincoln County News HILTON TIDDY, Editorand Proprietor nteredssseoond-class natter December II 11)6, t the Post office at Lincolnton, N, (J, ajaeraot ofCoDgreof March I. 1178. I8HUED TUESDAY AND FRIDAY FEIDA,Y, SETTEMBER 22, 1911. CHALLENGES THE STATE. Cleveland Star: "Superintend estW. W. Barron has received bis analysis of the city water from State Chemist C. A. Shore taken from tap this month and it shows up absolutely pure and free from bacteria. .There is no sediment, no color, no turbidity, no odor, do colon bacilli, no bacteria. A challenge is issued to any other water Bystem in the state to show an analysis as pure as this." As Jeff" would say, "Got yuh." We couldn't for a minute think of letting that challenge go by. In fact we are surprised at Barron and Weathers handing out such a bunch of dope to the un suspecting public. Now the chal ' lenge might be fired at Gastonia and ne'er a chirp, the reason therefor is too sad a story to tell, but down this way never! Lin colnton has the best water in the state and we are prepared to prove it. Clever Trick of Lee ihiner. Counly Moon- Sanford Express. A Lee county moonshiner who had been up to Siler City (Ike London's town) to dispose of his sowpaw to thirsty Chathamities and who was leisurely returning home, found himself pursued by a band of revenue officers. In his flight for safety he soon stumbled npon the northern bank of Deep River. There was no bridge or boat in sight; he could not swim, Uncle Sam's men were close be hind him, and he knew that if he let the officers catch him Judge Connor's court was ahead of him and he would probably have to wear stripes the balance of his days. Ben Hur in the heat of the chariot race with the Soman never made his plans more quick ly or executed them more effec lively than did this dispenser of Lee county corn juice. Some body who had smacked his lips over his moonshine betrayed him but he would outwit the whole layout With his knife he hasti ly cut one of the reeds that grew on the bank of the river. Then be stopped up his ears and nos trils with wet clay from the mar gin of the stream, took the reed in his mouth and waded out into deep water, where he remained submerged with upturned face, but allowing the upper end of the reed to project above the surface. On came the revenue officers, fol lowing the moonshiner's track to the brink of the rive. The offi cers remained waiting on the river bank , for half au hour, but no sign of the moonshiner ap peared. They concluded at last that he was a sorcerer who had vanished into thin air. Then they disappeared, and the moon shiner, who had been under water all this time breathing through his reed, came out He managed to keep under cover and make his way back to a more comfortable place of safety in Lee. A DOCTRINAL DISCUSSION. the and Cn on tks Supervisor. The supervisor of a school was trying to prove that children are lacking in observation. To the children be said: "No children, tell me a number to put on the board." Some child said "thirty -six." The supervisor wrote sixty-three. He asked for another number, and seventy-six was given. He wrote Bixty -seven. vvtoo a third number was asked, a child who apparently had paid no attention called out: "Theventy-theven. Change that you darned thucker!" -Every body's. , Sunday Service Services will be held in St Luke's Episcopal church Sunday morning at 11 o, clock. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon services will be held at St Stephen's church. At 8 o'clock services will be held at the Church of Our Saviour. Mr. J. F. McKinis suffered a painful injury on last Tuesday. A negro in lifting a cake of ice weighing 200 pounds, accidantly let it drop on Mr. McKinis' foot with the result that the member was almost mashed into a pulp. According to Our Correspondent Vlll Take Place In Maiden la November Quarterly Conference Holds Session- Other Nous. Iron 8tation, N. C. Bept. 18 '11. The friends of good morals will rejoice everywhere that prohibi tion carried in Maine if it did have a close shave. The friends of booze had predicted that in case Maine went wet, it would have a reactionary effect on prohi bition in other states of the Bouth. We do not think so, for the reason that the people of the south do not go to the northeast to take lessons on great moral problems. In this respect we believe the south leads the nation. Prohibi tion will never down in the south. Great reforms uever take a back ward turn in this sunny land Mr. O. E. Dellinger who has been confined with typhoid fever for the past seven weeks is still a very sick man Our Quarterly Confer ence at Lebanon was held last Saturday and Sunday as previous ly noted. Rev. E. L. Bain preach ed two good sermons. He is just the kind of preacher that can hold your undivided attention from start to finish. The finances of the circuit were found in fairly good shape Messrs. Charles and Lat Lynch, the former of Okla noma and the latter of St Louis, Mo., are now on a visit at home of their parents, Mr. Mrs. E. M. Lynch. Charles has been absent from home seventeen years, and we understand is a successful physician in his adopted state Mr. E. M. Lynch's condi tiun we learn is very much im proved We learn that there will be a public discussion at Maiden sometime in November on the mode of Christian Baptism. Rev Beach of the Baptist church and Rev. Curtis of the Methodist church and perhaps others will take part in the discussion. Our observation has been that not much good to the cause of Chris tianity comes through these doc trinal discussions and we have often wished deep down in our heart that all who love the Lord Jesus would quit fighting over the husks and get down to the busi ness of trying to save souls. Brethren the mode of water bap tism will be an open one when the last trumpet shall sound. It never has been nor ever will be settled, and to discuss it only stirs up strife and in the end is a waste of ammunition. As we have often said why can't we agree to disagree and all work together against the common enemyt The late Rev. Sam Jones well expressed the fruits of these discussions when he said, "The Baptist stands on one side of the fence and shouts, Baptist, Baptist till I die, the Methodist stands on the other side of the fence and crys Methodist, Methodist till I die, while the old sinner stands over on the hill looking on and hollows sinner, sinner till 1 die." Mr. J. B. Ballard asks us to state that he is ginning cotton for the 25th and furnish bagging. It seems that some one has misrep resented him in this matter. Alpha. Mrs. M. L.
