VI I II I II BOARD ALDERMEN V MET l!AST MONDAY Considering the Assessment Matters. Adjourned To Meet Nor. 29. , ' The City Aldermen were in special Bession last Monday night in the May or's office. A portion of the evening was consumed in consideration of the s matter of the assessment of abutting ' property gwners for permanent street iiiipruvviiittiit in uisincis i, ct o, ana 6. A protest was presented to the board signed by many of trie proper ty owners in the above assessment districts. The protest was addressed ' to the mayor and Board of Aldermen of the town of Lincolnton and was as follows: "The undersigned abutting property owners, ' lying "along the streets embraced in said districts and indicated as to which district by figures , opposite our respective names, respect fully enter our protest and showeth, why said assessment should not be made. "First, The assessments as made by you in said respective districts, are erroneous, excessive, made1 improperly and amount to more than allowed or prescribed by law, therefore an im- ' proper charge against the abutting land owners. "Second That in making said as sessment, no allowance has been made for the ten thousand dollars turned over by the Road Commission of Lin coln county, to be used in the im provement of the two roads leading through Lincolnton connecting the sandclay- roads worked into town by thi Road Commission, as provided by Chapter 788, Public-Local Laws 1915, which amount should be deducted be fore assessing Jhe abutting land own- ars, thereby pving to said land own ers, the pro-rata share of which they are entitled. The above districts being within the prescribed limits of which . by chapter 788, s Public-Local Laws 1915, the said .ten thousand dollars, was to be expended upon the roads, and upon which the ten thousand dol lars should be expanded and be de : ducted before calculation of assess ment against abutting property own ers. " t T'Third, The extra work, brick, bas ins and piping charged, is not a proper charge against property owners, and is erroneous, as it is the duty of the ' town to-take care and give proper ' drainage Tor all-water accumulating along it's streets and no charge to property owners to convey or duty imposed upon property owners -to care for water accumulated upon road way. "Fourth, Error has been made in the amount of excavations charged, amount too large. - . ' "Fifth, Except also to the amount yardage of asphalt, too large. "Wherefore pray, That a proper as sessment be made and the property owners be charged only with such amount as authorized and directed by . law, and to that end the Board of Al , dermen make re-calculation and allow to the property owners the proper as sessment, making the deductions as herein prayed." This protest was discussed by Capt. C. E. Childs for the property owners and City Attorney Jonas and by sev- eral of the property owners present. After much explaining and discussion the property owners present at the meeting said they would withdraw r "Section Two" of tho protest relating to the 110,000 received from the road ' fund. ' - '-' The Board then took" a recess until Monday night, Nov. 29, at which time a the city engineer is i:i instructed ' to ' present an accurate, corrected list of assessments against abutting1 owners along the five improvement districts, for final adoption. It was also further ordered that the engineer submit to , each property owner who has filed pro test. Ma final assessment before said , meeting to the end that corrections, if any, may be made by the engineer, Provided if any such property owner is dissatisfied with the engineer's as sessment, he be given a hearing at said meeting of the board.

WHAT WE OWE - THE LORD .1, Dr. Livingstone Johnson ' on Theme "How Much Owest Thou My Lord?" - Dr. Livingston Johnston in Charlotte News: . , . The Question of stewardshin is a burning one and, I trust, will become more so until the Christian world comes very much nearer to a proper appreciation of Its responsiutilty to God. At the Laymen's Convention which was held in Chattanooea a year aro. there hung above the ptatrorm a streamer bearing this motto: "Chris tianity's supreme task in America, is to Spiritualize a Commercial Age." The only way to accomplish that su preme task is to bring Christianity to a realization of its obligation of stewardship. "How mucli owest thou my Lord?" is the question I desire to Dress UDon everv leader. Mv ner- sonnl opinion is that a tenth of one's income should be the minimum. Hav ing made bold to answer the question, it- is incumbent upon me to give-my reasons for this belief. ' What the Scriptures Say. 1. I believe the Scriptures teach it. Let us see what God's word savs on the subject. , i (a) It is clearly taught in the Old Testament, Malachi 3:8 "Will a man rob God ? vet ye have robbed me. even this, whole nation." And then follows the promise: "Bring ye all the tithes into the store-house. and Drove me herewith, saith the Lord, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessinir mat there shall not be room enough to receive I suppose none will denv that the duty of giving a tenth is unmistakably taugnt in the Via Testament, but there are many who say it is no lonc-er of binding force, that t passed out with the Mosiac Dispensation, that we live under a dispensation of eraee. and are .therefore, not bound by the re quirements of the law. Let us look Into these objections for a moment. In the first place,! the requirement to srive a tenth antedate a the Mosaic law. In Genesis 13:20 we have the first mention or tithing. Abraham met Melchisedec Kimr of Salem, who was Priest of the most high God, and Abraham gave him a tenth of all. So you cannot stop with Moses in your search for the origin of tithing, you must go back, at least as far as Abraham. Indeed. I should not wonder if tithing Began with Adam, the father of the race. It is true that tithing was incorporated in the Mosaic law, but it didn't have its origin there. If it be said that it passed away with the ceremonial law. I answer it-was not a cervmnnUl hut a moral law. All laws, that were merely ceremonial did pass away, but moral laws, such as marriage, the Sabbath and, indeed, all -the deca logues, were brought over into the new dispensation; Christ said he did not come to destroy the law, but to fulfill it. The New Testament. (b) Tithing is recosrnlzed and un proved, if not distinctly taught in the new Testament. Christ said to the Phaitsees. "Ye tithe anise and rue and cummin, and nave omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercv and faith. These ought ye to have done and not to leave the other undone ." Ha im: mended them for tithing the vege 'tables or herbs that grew in their gar dens, but rebuked them for neglecting the weightier and more important matters of the law. "These ought ye to have done." When Christ "ought" that imposes an obligation that should not' be regarded lightly. mis is the New Testament, -mark, you, and ia the lane-uasre of our Lord himself. , . In Hebrews 7:1-10 Melchi said to be a type of Chnst. His greatness is shown from the fact that Abraham, the patriarch, gave to him (Melchisedec) a tenth of the' spoils. Now the argument is that if Melchise dec, who was a type of Christ, re ceived thia honor at the hands of Abraham, now much more irorthy is Christ, the great ante-type, to receive honor and sacrifice at the hands of his people. If Melchisedec received tithmi of Abraham, Christ should surely re ceieve tithes of us, for he is our high priest, "not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the nowpr of an endless life." " Rigby very pertinenfcto asks. "Whv does the Apostle here introrfu - th question of tithes at all if it be not essential to the proof of Christ's su periority over the sons of Levi?" (cl Those who live under the new dispensation are not free from law. In the New Testament, liberty does not mean lawlessness, Grace does not mean anarchy. Permit another quo tation from Rigby: "It is idle to say that.the moral law does not comport with the liberty of the Gospel, for the-law enslaves no man that loves it, and he has never tasted real gospel liberty who does not delight in the precepts of his Maker. He who fears the law. is the only slave to it, while he who loves it is the only free-bom son of God. Hence Christian liberty is the free dom to do what is morallv riirht under the constraining power of moral mo tive, with love as the great underly ing principle. Hence, while the Chris tian is not under law as acondition of life, it is yet true that he has na more liberty to bresk the Fsbbnth, or to take God's nnine in vuin ,or i.al from niar. or rub Cwl in t;i'.a and offerings than the Jew. His liberty consists in keeping the law, without fhe coercive power of the penalties, or the hope of its righteousness." Rom. 8:31 "Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid; yea "we establish the law." A Good Rule. , 2. The giving of a tenth is a good rule, aside from the teaching of the Scripture on the subject. Many who do not believe that tith ing is a New Testament requirement will agree that every Christian should give part of his income to the Lord, and that we who live under grace should certainly give as much as the Jews who lived under the law. Why cannot we use ihia as a starting point upon which we can agree as to the matter of giving ? - Everyone knows that to be regular and business-like in our giving, it is necessary td have some fixed apd definite rule. The adoption of tithing, as a rule,, makes our giving systematic, proportionate and regular. (a) No business man can succeed who- does not -put system into his business. In our efforts to finance the Kingdom of our Lord we are suffering more from lack of system than from any other one thing. If all God's peo ple were to practice tithing, system would follow naturally. Opening an account with the Lord and crediting that account with the proper share of the profits would get the giver into a systematic way of doing his giving.A better plan still is to have a box mark ed"The Lord's Treasury" into which is put one dollar out of every ten, or one dime out of every dollar, one' penny out of every dime. This is a ( very simple thing, but how it would systematize and revolutionize our giv ing. (b) It would make giving propor tionate. We should have some fixed per cent of our income as the part we are to give to God. If we go on in a haphazzard way giving just what wo can spare,, or as speciul demands may be made, according to what we think is our ability, we will never touch the hem of the garment of our duty in the matter of giving. Equalizes Giving. One tenth of one's income is on a sliding scale and works automatically, adjusting itself to that income, wheth er it be much or little. This is emi nently fair, and comports with our sense of Justice as is shown in our human laws. The law requires that the rate of taxes be regulated by a man's possessions. If between the dates of assessment he loses part of his property his taxes are less; if, on the other hand, he gains, his taxes are increased proportionately. So in giv ing to the Lord a tenth we are but paying to him the interest on what may come into our hands, all of which is his. As God measures our gifts by the sacrifice it costs to make them, tith ing makes it possible for a man whose income is but $500.00 to give as much as one who has an income of $50,000.. Some whose incomes are small try to excuse themselves for not tithing on the ground that those with very large incomes should give more than a tenth. It may be that they should, but that is a matter between them and their God. If your neighbor fails to do his duty that does not excuse you for failure to do yours. When our risen Lord said to Peter "feed, my sheep," Peter seeing John standing by asked "Lord and what shall this man do?" Jeus answered "If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me." ' (c) It makes our giving regular If one has a box into which he puts the Lord's tenth, or an account where in God is credited with one-tenth of the income, there will rarely ever come a time when there will not be some thing in the box or to God's credit on the account. When special appeals are made there will almost always be something on hand with which to meet them. This will take away the annoyance and unpleasantness that usually accompany spasmodic giving. We will not complain of the numer ous appeals, for it will not be a mat ter of trying to scrape up money .to meet them, but of administering on funds we already have in hand. Those Who Have Tried it Pleased. 3. Another strong argument in fa vor of tithing Is the fact that those who have given it a faithful trial are satisfied with it and would not go back to the old method of giving less than a tenth. Indeed, a vast majority of them dtf not stand at the tenth long, they go beyond it As a rule the large givers begin to learn the grace of giv ing by tithing. It Jwas true with old Deacon Colgate, and it has been true of nearly all the large and liberal giv ers since. Another thing worthy of note: tithing appeals to business men who are cold and calculating in their business methods, and are not swept away by sentiment or emotion. It has in it that which they have learned is essential to success in their own business. I have jret to find a man who has faithfully . practiced tithing from a sense of duty, (and no man is likely to begin it who is not constrained to do so by a sanse of duty), but said that he prospered by it. He found that after conscientiously laying aside one-tenth for the Lord, the nine tenths that remained went further than the ten-tenths would have done if all hud been used for himself. A very successful business man. who is a tither, says there is nothi.lg strange about the success of those who tithe, as it is based on a sound business principle.

Represent ative Claude Kituhin, majority lead er of the House, who opposes the Administration National' defense pro gram, has declared to a constituent his belief that it will succeed by an 'overwhelming majority," In a letter today written by Repre sentative Kitchin to Charles L. Coon, of Wilson.vN. C., the new majority leader says: "I shall oppose the big Army and Navy program with all the earnest ness and power I posses. However, my fear is that the President will push it through by an overwhelming majority. In the first place, practi cally all the Republicans 'will vote for it. In the second place, although I know that the convictions of four fifths of the Democrats are opposed to it, many of them I fear a large majority will fling away their con victions on this question to please the President and do his will, as I have seen them do it on two or three p& casions before." ' Representative Kitchin declares that the program "at one bound, in one year increases our naval appro priations more than our total increase for the lust 14 years; more than the increase by Germany the whole 15 years preceding the European war, and more than the combined in- crease of all the Nations of the world , in any one year of their history." . The North Carolina Congressman asserts that "this sudden, radical and stupendous move for war preparation is going to shock the civilized world, and whatever be the outcome of the present war1, will alarm the world again into an armed camp." BOOKER' T. WASHINGTON DEA D. Booker T. Washington, noted negro leaderind educator, is dead at Tusk Ogee, Ala., of hardening of the arter ies. He had been In failing health for months but only recently became ser iously ill and last week hurried from the north that he at least might die at heme. Washington was born in slavely in Virginia in 1857 or 1858. He-was an ambitious boy and saved his money, working his way through school. In 1881 he organized an industrial school for negroes at Tuskegee and has since remained principal of the institute he founded. He did a great work for his race and stood forth as the champion of the idea of industrial education for negroes.. There's plenty of room at the top. unless you happen to be a steeple climber. vesting his money. It will not do, of course, to holu that all who practice tithing will suc ceed in business for such is not the case, some fail. But not one has ever failed because he tithed, his failure was due to some other cause. He may make bad investments (though according to the business man whose opinion is given above, he is not so likely to do it as a man who does not tithe), or he may place confidence in men who prove to be unworthy of his confidence; but for failure on account of these things tithing is not respon sible. There are many more failures, proportionately, among those who do not tithe than there r.re among those who do. The reason we regard giving as such a hardship and speak of it as a great sacrifice is because we do not' set aside a definite per centof our income as the Lord's and feel that we have no more right to appropriate it to our own use than we have to ap propriate the property of our neigh bor. That is why it is well for us to have a certain place which we know is the Lord's treasury into which to put a tenth of all that comes into our hands. Would Greatly Increase Our Gifts. From last year' associational min utes we learn that $900,000 in round number was given by the white Bap tists of North Carolina. Suppose we would make our gifts aggregate $1, 000,000. This includes home expenses as well as contributions to benevolent object. According to the government report the average income of the people of the United States is $170. That in cludes children who are under the producing age. If only those who are producers were counted it Is estimat ed that the average income would be $300. Every one who is old enough to be a member of a Baptist church is a producer. Now if North Carolina is an average state ,the income of our people ia $300 each year. There are in the state 245,000 white Bap tists. At $300 each the total income would be $73,500,000. A tenth of that would be $7,350,000! That is to say, if we should make the tenth the min imum,' we would give seven times as much as we gave last year. Instead of making the tenth the minimum we are giving but one-seventh of one- tenth. Note: There is a question in the minds of a good many as to what constitutes a tenth, whether it is to be taken out of the net or gross in come. I should say after the neces sary expense of production is elim inated, one tenth of the remainder should be given to the Lord. For in stance, if a farmer owns his land it is proper for him to deduct the cost of hired labor, fertilizer and feed for his stock. If he does not own his land he should deduct the rent also.

With the in creasing gravity from the Allies' viewpoint of the military situation in Serbia, Greece's attitude toward the armies of the Entente Powers has become a matter of the deepest con cern, and an effort is being made to induce the Greek Government to de fine its intentions. It is said that the presence at Sal oniki of a large number of French and British warships with transports has made some impression on King Constantino and his advisers. But, with so much at stake, nothing Bhort of a positive guarantee of the safety ' of the French, British and Serbian troops, should they be compelled by circumstances to retire into Greece, will satisfy London and Paris, the Ministers of which capitals are being strongly, supported by the Russian and Italian representatives.

In the north, the Austro-Germans who have joined hands with Bul garians west of Nish, are moving slowly and steadily, but doubtlessly cautiously owing to the presence of the unbeaten Montenegrins with per haps other support, harrassing them in the west. A dispatch received tonight from Vienna by way of Zurich says that British and Italian troops are en deavoring to reach the battlefield where the Serbians are awaiting them, but does not say from what point they are coming. The Near East will be watched with consider able anxiety for the next few days. On the other fronts there is little to report. Both the Belgian and Po trograd statements report quiet gen erally. On the Styr River, however, the Russians are still fighting for the river crossings. In the west the weather is wintry and there has been only artillery and mining activities. The ground has hardened however, and attacks which could not be attempted in the mud might soon be possible. London, Nov. 17. Both the milli tary and diplomatic situation of the Allies in the Balkans are disquieting, if not critical, a fact which doubt less, led to the visit of the British Prime Minister, Mr. Asquith, David Lloyd-George and A. J. Balfour to Paris for a conference with the French Cabinet and General Jore, French commander-in-chief. The main Serbian army, under General Putnick, operating in the north, is encompassed on every side but one, and being cut off from . the south by the Bulgarian advance be yond Tetovo, must depend upon the rough roads through Montenegro and Albania for any supplies from the a. In the south the Serbian position is almost as bad. The success of the Bulgarian flanking attack on Bab una Pass and their advance from Voles have prevented the hoped-for unction of the Serbian-French forces. This leaves the Serbians only " two lines of retreat, one into Albania, where they may be harassed by un friendly tribes, and the other across the Greek border, where they are in danger of being disarmed and in terned. It is to prevent the latter eventually that the Entente Allies ire putting forth every effort and un questionably this matter has been discussed in Paris by the British and French- Ministers. Like Italy and France, England now demands that Greece shall either join the Allies or translate her be nevolent neutrality towards the En tente into a clear declaration that she will attempt to disarm neither the Serbians nor the -Allies should they be forced back over her fron tier, and that she will afford further facilities for the landing and trans port of Allied troops.
