More Sorvices to Follow.
The first of the three union servi
ces to be held in Central Methodist
church In behalf of community prog
ress took place Sunday night, ami
was a most notable ami inspiring
event. Rev. Mr. Aborncthy was the
speaker and his address made a groat
Impression. At the close the men and
women of the congregation ran up
in large numbers to shake the hand
of the speaker and thank him for his
words. Next Sunday night at the
Fame place Kev. L. M. White, pastor
of the liaptisl church, will be the
speaker, and the following Sunday
niht Dr. II. E. Gurney, pastor of the
Presbyterian church, will speak at
the same place.
Mr. Abernothy's address was of a
high order. He did not tail to loll us
point blank of our short comings, but
did it i:i so frank, ami good natured
and truthful way that all were deep
ly impressed and inspired to take the
lessons pointed out to heart.
Just let this thing keep up and di
rectly old Monroe and Union county
will throw off their Rip Van Winkle
garments and begin to do something.
Mr. Abernethy said that there was
absolutely no public sentiment for
progress and co-operation and that to
remedy this defect was the tirst thing
necessary. He said that this section
could be made a fit place for the
dwellings of .the finest people, but
that we had to wake up and get to
work. He divided the population in
to three classes. These classes are:
First. The Cants. These will ad
mit any argument for better things.
They will say, "Yes, that is all light,
but we cau't do it." You can never
stir in them any sentiment of enthu
siasm or progress. They don't ener
gize. Second. The Wonts. These will tel!
you that a thing is good and can be
done, but will then bristle up ami nay.
"yes, we can. but we won't." These
are the two largest classes.
The oiher class is- the Wills. They
are willing and ready, but they are
lit Id hack by the dead weight of the
other two das-' s. The thing to do is
to Join the Wills and the Cans, to ;,'ei
out of the .Can't ami the Won't class
es. Then he iianod anil discussed
many specific th.im.si that we should
di) and can do. l'eople are leaving
the town and the county because they
can't see any hope of b 'Iter things.
We could have a hospital, but we
wont. We should have good roads
hut we wont. We shohl have all the
blosiiigs that flow from them, but we
wont. Wo could have a better hotel
building, but we wont. We could
have hitler school buildings, but we
wont. One of the city school build
ings was made out of the poor house
and it's a poor school house, too. Wo
could have bitiilithlc streets, hut we
wont. Wo could pet rid of the dan
gerous menace of the dust that is so
damaging, but wo wont. We con!..
have a cleaner town and fewer mos
quitoes and Hies but we won!. He
saw more Hies lure last summer than
he ever saw in any town before. They
may have been he(lr flies, than those
in other towns, but there were more
of them. And every one could carry
fifteen hundred germs of disease on
each leg and liny had the longest
legs of any flies he ever saw. There
is not a cliuioii in liie county which is
fitly equipped with Sunday school
room. Tin re is less old time religion
than ever before, he thought. People
have begun to think thai all thai is
necessary to get into the church and
Into heaven rfterward was to give
your hand In some clammy handed
evangelist and the tiling was done.
The people run elf lo other towns to
buy ihe Ihnias that they could belter
buy at home. They ought to demand
that the merchants here keep the
things thai they want if they do not
a!' ' idy do i o, ami then buy from
them.
Mr. Abirnelhy emphasized the
need of a chamber of commerce to
take the lead in the undertakings
which ho spoke of. There is not the
shadow of doubt that if we had an
organization of this kind to take the
lead In securing spicilic things, that
people who now belong to the Cant's
would soon see that the Cans and
Wills could do pretty nearly anything
they set out to do.

Some liocal and Comments From the

Correspondence of The Journal.
Wingate. April 23. Easter Sun
day, a christian festival in commemo
ration of the resurrection of our Lord
and Savior, Jesus Christ. The most
momentous event in the history of
the world. What would life be with-
'out the hope of a resurrection and a
.life beyond this?
I Let me ray. light now. my friends.
, readers of The Journal, you will have
' to be content with short measure
j this time, as Items of real interest
are scarce and hard to find.
Of course I ho commencement is on
ibut your scribe can't a'tend. ihere
j fore be can only touch the event in
high places.
I Mr. Randolph Rushing, manager of
I the "cntral" at Siurdivant, was in
town Friday afternoon on business
pertaining to his system of telephone
service.
We were mistaken in our state
mint In the last week's Journal that
Mr. lilair Trull had gone 10 ltadin n
secure employment. Mr. Trull is ; til!
at home. It was given just as we
heard it.
Mr. Hoyce Sherrin of Concord
spent Sunday night with his friend.
Mr. E. C. Meigs at the home of his
parents. Mr. and Mrs. H. P. Meigs.
Mr. C. C. llrown delighted us with
his presence for a short while
Wednesday morning. Charlie is n
splendid fellow and we like him.
Hev.Mr. Smith of Charlotte preach
ed the annual sermon for the Win
gate School Sunday at 11 o'clock. The
church was crowded to overflowing
with an audience of appreciative
hearers of a most excellent sermon.
Mr. Ira I). Mullis of Lumberton
and his mother, Mrs. Tinle Mullis,
were most pleasant guests for an
hour in the home of Mr. and Mrs. H.
P. Meigs. These good friends know
just how to inspiro one with hopo
and encouragement. We always feel
bitter for their presence.
Mrs. Hamp Wnekwolder is right
sick and is the only new case on our
sick list. "All the older cases have
about recovered," says our fat and
Jolly good doctor.
Well, wo can't mention in detail
the outside visitor to our pleasant
and attractive town on this occasion,
fill'llce it to say that they v.vv here
from the east end from the vest :,m!
from all the region round about and
: n beyond its borders.
There was "f.irewill services" lo l l
in the academy Sunday evening by
the students. The interesting fea
tures of the occasion were Co h: i !'
farewell talks from among the Mu
llen' body. Rutin lo.-.; many n heatt
swelled with emotion and many an
eye was bedimmcd with tear.; at the
j thought of separation, some perhaps
forever, after a year s most pleasant
relations ns students and teachers.
May It be their happy good fortune lo
meet next school year under the
most favorable circumstances ami
with still great or advantages.
The latest from the bed. hie of Mrs.
Amelia Griffin, tin- victim of the ac
cident ns hi re'ofore mentioned, is
that she is pelting alonir nicely.
This is Monday, the 24th 'day or
April, TiT.O a. m. The Indication.-,
are for an Ideal day for commence
ment except for the cool high wind
and the terrible dust whb-h are sure
to mar to some degree the day's en
joy men t.
The latest advice from 'I'ncle
Hampton" Griffin, our good old
friend and veteran id the STth N. C.
Kept.. Is that ho is getting on nicely,
not suffering any special ailment
just kind 'o run down and fagged out
like mai.y more of us old soldiers.
May Mr. Griliin soon regain his usual
health and enjoy many more years
of Joy nnd happiness.
Well, my reading farmer or farm
ing reader, which ever you please. I
don't know how you stand on Mr.
Wilson's problem of "preparedness
for defense, etc., but there is one
thing as sure as death and taxation:
We may Just as well prepare for a aix
cents cotton crop which is almost cer
taln to come next fall, by raising a
plenty of supplies for home and farm,
so that it will not. bo necessary to lie
awake at night trying to liruro how
to make six nnd a quarter cover a
twelve and a half dollar debt and i 'ill
have our credit unimpaired.
Old Isaac Laney, a well known old
darkey of the ante-bellum days, died
last Friday night and was buried Sat
urday at Niclo Grove church. These
old slaves, like the old soldiers, arc
fast passing out.
Everybody keep still now. Let Mr.
Wilson, congress. Mr. Hryan ami Mr.
Ta ft and Col. Roosevelt and other
men of prudence and wisdom and
discretion settle the controversy with
the Gorman government. They'll do
it without the help of us little 2 x
4's and without war or blood shed if
It be pos'ible, Is the opinion of

into court on a cot, cried for merry.
Judge Medler ordered the prison

At a Meeting of County Convention
One of I inoii'ti Favorite Sons Wa
Highly lU-coiiiiiicndeil to the State
State ami Xaiioiial Democratic
A 1 1 1 1 1 in i in l ioi is I ' inli rcd.
The county democratic convention
was held here Saturday morning, and
it was called to orde- by Mr. J. C.
M. i nn. It was a tame affair, and
such old Democrat ic warriors a
.Meters. I!. A. Morrow. J. C Laney.
V T. Choars. S. () Illair. Henry Me
Quirtor, Dr. John Illair. 15. L. Stev
ens, J. M. Tomberlin, Prank Wolfe,
and oiiers, chalied under the re
straint, and smiled at the efforts of
the younger Members of the conven
tion to stir up something for their
bem I, t. They bad all witnessed stir
ring time.; in the democratic conven
tions in their day, and the proceed
ings of Saturday were so medicore
that some of thei.i b-canio bored and
left before the eoeviiition adjuorned.
Everything is done by the primaries
now.
Squire V. T. Chears was the charl
man of the t'rst Democratic conven
tion hold in this county alter the war,
about lStiti. and the man who nomi
nated him for chariman of the last
convention evidently had his past
services in mind when ho paved the
way for him to be honored once more
by bis fellow citizens. Squire
(.'hears is an old man, 80 years old,
but strong and active, and he was
not forgotten Saturday.
In fact, the convention of Satur
day was made up mostly of the old
er elements of the Democratic party.
Squire Jerry Laney, the Governor of
lluford.was there, and so was Squire
Henry McWhirler, the old war horse
of Jackson, and many others who
have given Democracy their staunch
est support in tho days of the past.
Squire Choars took the chair, and
made a fitting spoach. Ho told his
fellow Democrats how he appreciated
the honor; bow, through lie was an
old man, he was still fighting for the.
good old cause of Jefferson and Jack
son, ami would do so until he left
this world. He spoke highly of the
national Democratic administration
and of Woodrow Wilson, and said
that though be lavortd I'mlerwood
for Pi-. Ideal In 1!M2. and still
thought that ho v.autd have made a
great D. iiieelalic I'n siilent, ho had
noihi.tg but piaise for Mr. Wilson.
The chairman then called le.r nomi
nations for Seen tary, and Mr. W. .1.
Pratt was rotuinaicd rod elected to
that position.

Field Headquarters in Mexico (by
aeroplane to Columbus. X. M. April
23(. In a week's riding and foot
climbing through Ihe bills and can
yons of the Guerrero district, a caval
ry squadron reported today the dis
covery of much evid ne 'that the
illistas in the northern part of Vil
la's territory are thoroughly scatlir
ed. They fi.eiid the iiiilueiue of
tlie-e bandits, nevertheless, still
strong with the people.
One day this cavalry rode along a
table land. S.dotl foot in altitude, a
narrow, almost bve I plain between
two mountain ranges. On the east
ern side a canyon fuly a thousand
feu deep shut them from the moun
tains. At the bottom of the canyon
lay a long valley with Mexican adobe
dwellings dotting its banks at inter
vals, for miles. Trails load u,i the
Slopes every live or ten miles, and
the cavalrymen, descending, noted
the hoof prints of Mexican ponies,
which had ascended.
In most of this Guerrero region a
man on horseback is invariably either
a Carraiua soldier or a bandit. The
eavalrymen knew no Carranza patrols
had been that way. They found plain
evidence that niPn had camped at
the hacienda. Nevertheless it re
quired all the balance of the day.
by careful and adroit questioning
and some sharp talking, to gain bare
admission that bandits had stopped
there. The cause of this reticence
was fear of retaliation by the ban
dits. Many American officers have
become convinced that when the
American troops are withdrawn most
of the few Mexicans who have boon
courteous to them will be killed.
Most of the bandits now are living
In the mountains in groups of two
or three and often singly, taking
their food from friends or by throats
from tho peaceful Mexicans. The
cavalrymen have captured a good
many of those men but find little
evidence on which to hold them. Oc
casionally the bandits make their
presence known to the cavalrymen
by a few long range shots. Thus
far not one American has been hit
tu the Fnlping. A motorcycle rider,
carrying dispatches, had a close call
when three mounted men cone-aled
behind an adobe house dashed nut a!
him, leaped from I heir horses and
pp.-tvel tiro wiih riles at 25 yards.
They hit the machine but did ne.t
damage it. The dispatch rider, with
a spurt, gained the cover of a gale
post made from a tree, two feet in
diameter. With his pistol he opened
lire nnd drove the Mexicans oil',
although he could not tell whether Di
bit any of them.
One of the Indications of the scat
tering of Villistas is the difference
noted now In Mexican towns as com
pared with those places when the
troops first reached them nearly a
month ago. At that time several of
tho mountain towns were observed
lo have many young, tough looking
and armed men loitering nboui the
si n ets. Now few such characters e.iv
seen.
