" The First Baptist Church congrega
tion of Lincolnton is engaged in
erecting a new church building, mo
dern in every respect; almost a dupli
cate of the new Baptist Church at
Edenton. A parsonage has already
been built. The new church and par
sonage when completed will be worth
around $76,000. The congregation
has met the bills for this new edifice
nobly until recently, and they now find
it will be necessary to secure a loan ol
about $20,000 to complete the plant
and equip same, at least this is their
intentions, if they can find a generous
soul who will make the loan, extend

Wilson contained in the series oi -cles

country are carrying, and which lne

about three. Mr. McCombs,
towards the last of his life, was evi
dently unbalanced, and smarting un
der imagined wrongs grew to regard
Mr. Wilson as a tyrant, and so trea.s
him in the series of articles in question
which are palpably not the work of a
normal rational man. Mr. Wilson is
fast emerging from the temporary ob
scurity into which he was thrust by
the defeat of certain of his great
plans, and the country has reached
the point where it has no futher in

attacks upon him. Chester Reporter.

Rogers Davis Tells of Conditions in
Europe at Textile Meeting m
Greenville.
Charlotte Observer
"Unless the United States, Eng
land, France, and Italy acquire the
working spirit prevalent in tier
many today, that country will have
won the war," declared Roger W.
Davis, of Charlotte, in an address
Saturday before the Boosters bu
reau at the Hotel Imperial, Green
vill, S. C, following addresses of
prominent mill men and textile
leaders of Greenville and the two
Carolinas, says the Charlotte Obser-
ve-r. . ' ...
The report in The Greenville
News of Sunday says that Mr.
Davis was one of several speakers
including Governor Robert A.
Cooper, W. C. Beacham, B. E. Geer
president of the Judsm mills and
the American bank; J. E. Sirnne,!
head of the Southern Textile Prod
ucts exposition; W. E. Beat-tie, of
the Victor-Monagham mill;

m . IT . . DUnnlinr-ma' 1 .
head 01 tne union meat..-..--,
M. Norris. of the Norns mills; W.
L Gassawey and President sym
mes, of the chamber of commerce.
Mr Davis stated that he had just
returned from a two months trip
abroad and his observation of in
dustrial, manufacturing and farm
ing conditions in England, France
and Italy are identical with those in
America in that workers of all
nUaapa are in continual strike re
garding shorter hours, working
conditions, etc.
"In Germany," Mr. Davis declar
ed, "workers have petitioned the
government to permit them to
work 72 hours a week, instead of
sixty, the present scale. Unless we
get that same spirit I do not
necessarily mean nu.n..-
work 72 hours a week Germany
after all will have won the World
War." .
Mr. Davis address was the Key
note speech of the meeting whicil
included many prominent and dis
tinguished textile leaders of North
and South Carolina. Governor
Robt . A. Cooper attended the

Mr. Davis' address concluded the

want to throw "cold water' on the
optimistic talks of the mill execu
tives who preceded him, but de
clared that the thing which is
holding America and the entente
back is that the people are not
working as they should. Mr. Davis
two years ago waa governor of the
7th Rotary District and last year
he was International Chairman of
the Rotary boys' work committee.

UP TO DR. BROOKS
Statesville Landmark.
The Daughters of the Confederacy
who have led the attack on Muzzey's
history, a book being taught in the
North Carolina schools, have succeed
ea in getting their objections before
Dr. Brooks, the State Superintendent
consideration. "It is impossible for
the students of history today to feel I
otherwise uian iiuu. ine tauac !
which the South fought the war of
1861-65 was an unworthy cause," is
ene statement in this socalled history
to which objection is filed. It is un
derstandable how one in other en
vironment, who has always been tokl
that the South fought solely to pre
serve the institution of slavery, could
honestly write that statement. But
one who has no better understanding
ing of the principles involved in ths
conflict of the sixties is unfit to write
history tor anyooay; ano u is a mic
that Southern children
should be permitted to study and ac
cept such misinformation.
There are many similar statements
and other misinformation and lack of
it in this so-called history. For in
stance the writer repeats that old and
oft-exploded lie that "Lee handed his
sword to Grant at Appomatox." Any
body who doesn't know that Gen.
Grant .himself, who ought to know,
says in his memories, written by him
self, that Gen. Lee did not trmder him
v ' j -i a :.. ti, f

surrender and no such incident or
anything like it figured in the terms
of surrender; and that others present
on that historic .'occasion have set
down in history that no such thing oc
curred anybody who doesn't know
that much history isn't capable of
writing history. That one statement
is sufficient to discredit this so-called
history.
Regardless of what the school au
thorities may do, every Southern pa
rent who desires his children to be
tausht the truth will refuse to buy the
book or allow his children to study it;
and if a copy comes into the home it

ways and means should be found of
getting under the hide of the people
who select books like that for our
schools.
J. W. Jay & Co., cotton commission
merchants, of New York City, say:
"We reiterate our advice to our
Southern friends, to market their
cotton with deliberation. There is no
occasion for haste and as the season
progresses, it will be disclosed that
cotton is in a strong position. It is
imperative for the welfare of the
world that the South should next year
raise a large crop, and it is obvious
that a price not below 15c, basis midd
ling, should be obtained for the pres
ent supply.'
FEAR IN MOONSHINERS' HEART
Likker Toter Routed and Slinks in

make ready for the approaching
heavy ammunition wagons, trucks,
gun carriages and tractors. After
thpsp hpavv vehicles pass over the

be greatly damaged.
The engineering convey win nave
twenty-three trucks; the second
convoy, a heavy convoy, will have
16 guns, 30 ten-ton tractors, sev
eral trucks and other vehicles; the
third convoy, taking most of the
men, wjll have about 60 trucks and
many lighter vehicles.
The heavy convoy will travel at
the rate of about twenty miles a

miles a dav. When the light convoy
reaches a "base," it will pitch camp

Col. Hilton advises that the heav

CRIME AND PROHIBITION
Topeka (Kan.) Capital.
But for prohibition there would
have been a notable increase in traj
sort of criminality due to alcohol, as
well as a great increase in alcoholism,
whereas even by the testimony of
those prison wardens who see no mar
ket betterment, there has been at
least no marked deterioation. This
is a noticeable tribute to prohibition.
The greater number of prison war
dens, however, report a decided im
provement. "The State fed itself last year,"
said Commissioner Graham. When it
does that every year the number of
people who pay income tax will be increased.

JUNIOR ORPHANAGE IS
A STATE POSSIBILITY

Naturally the South is entitled to this
orphanage as the present one is in
Tiffin, Ohio. North Carolina is second
from the top in membership and
should have the orphanage. At the
State council meeting in Greensboro
last week a committee was appointed
to look for a site and report at the

Just A Few Words About The
Business Outlook And Fall
Goods
Our buyer has Just returned from the Northern Markets where he was. able to secure some great Bargains
in all our lines, especially in LADIES' READY-TO-WEAR. Those goods are arriving Daily and the prices are
so surprising that they will not remain on our shelves but a very few days because to show them means to sell
them. .
In all Staple cotton goods the tendency of the market is decidedly higher and we would not be at nil surprised
to see everything in the line of Staples sell considerably higher by the middle of the Fall, and in some lines they
are scarce and hard to get.
In our purchases this Fall, we have followed our usual custom of buying only dependable merchandise which
we can recommend to our customers, for the reason that we think every person should get the most value for
his dollar when purchasing Fall and Winter goods, as this is the only true economy in buying. Of course
if you must have the cheap goods we are going to have them in some real BARGAINS, but we prefer to sell
the better grade of merchandise which makes satisfied customers.
