It Is told of a Michigan editor that he grew tired of lying about people In obituary notices.-and then have people call him a hypocrite, so he wrote t:p a well known citizen as fol- !lows: "Died Aged fifty-six years, six months and fifteen days. Deceased was a mild-mannered pirate with a mouth for whiskey and an eye for boodle. He came here at night with another man's wife and joined the church at the first chance. He owed us seven dollars on the paper. You could hear him pray six blocks. H died singing. 'Jesus Paid It all.' and we think he is right, as he never paid a d cent himself. He was buried In an asbestos casket and his friends threw palm fans Into his grave, as he may need them. "His tombstone will be a favorite resting place for hoot owls." How to shoe a mule Is not easy. But in So'ih America they tie u sack or a dark cloth over the mule's eyes. The fact that the mule feels but can- no; see what is going on seems' to tender him as docile as a lamb. XO. COTTON" WON'T BRING FORTY CENTS OCTOBER IN InU-ss, Howner, the Market Take liig l"iMHiil Suing Itetoie Then liiiMse of (he Day Is to Get That Price Through Organization. Some farmers have misconstrued the advertising sent out by Mr. T. L. Riddle, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, to mean that some firm in Monroe Is going to pay 40 cents for cotton on Saturday, Oct. 18. They are all wrong unless cotton takes a decided jump before that day. The purpose of the meeting here Oct. 18 is to launch the drive for member ship in the Union county cotton as sociation, and to sell stock in the proposed state warehouses to be be built at Monroe, Marshville and Wax haw. Dr. Mott Blair of Marshville was the first man to call attention to those in charge of the preparations for the day of the impression the ad vertising was making in some sec tions. "If you don't rectify that Im pression," warned Dr. Blair, "you will have hundreds of folks in this county, and from adjoining counties. coming into Monroe on the eighteenth with the expectation of getting forty cents for their cotton. I have heard ihem talking. Many think that is go ing to be the case.' This wrong impression was also noticed by Mr. T. J. W. Broom, county farm demonstrator. On Sat urday Mr. Riddle pasted one of the posters on Mr. Broom's automobile, and when he started to crank up to o home he uolireu an old darkey couple reading it, whirh proclaimed: "Forty Cent Cotton." If you want more than 32 cents for your cotton be in Monroe, Saturday. October IS." The old darkey, when he saw Mr. Broom npprorhing. asked: "Boss, If I can't cet all my cotton picked by Oct. IS will they me another chance?" Mr. Riddle wants everybody to come Monroe Oct. IS who possibly can. but he doesn't want anyone to bring cot Ion to sell unless there Is a decided increase over the present market quo tations. The purpose of the rally is to induce all who can to hold their cotton off the market until the price goes upward. Meeting of Browning Literary So ciety.

Plans Accepted anil Costs Will Be In Neighborhood of $Iimm The Beginning of This hurt h A Slum History. The congregation of St. Paul's Episcopal Church at Monroe voted unanimously in meeting last Sunday night to remodel the church building both outside and inside, the work to begin as soon as practicable in the judgment of the officers and com mittee having the matter in charge. Architect's plans were accepted and the contract will be let shortly, it is expected. The plans call for increas ing the seating capacity by moving the chancel, building a new vesting room, and making use of transepts, and adding a portico and entrance doors at the front, as well as addi tional windows and changes in the roof. It is estimated that the total cost. Including new pews throughout and inside finishing, will be in the neighborhood of four thousand dol lars. The officers of the church are T. P. Dillon, Treasurer, J. J. Parker, Warden, and Fitzhenry Dillon, Sec retary, and the com tr.it tee members are J. C. M. Vann. N. M. Redfem, F. H. Fairley, and C. M. Redfern. The resident Priest-in-charge is S. L. Rot ter. Forty-five years ago St. Paul's church was organized, the first serv ice having been held on Sunday morning, November !Mh. 1874. in the parlor of Dr. L. H. DeRosset hi the old hotel which stood on the present site of T. P. Dillon's store and the Monroe Hardware Company, on Franklin Street. This service was conducted by the Rev. J. A. Deal, rec tor of Calvary Church. Wadesboro. and In charge of the work here. For several years prior to this Bishop At kinson had been visiting Monroe and had continued several residents. On November 11th. 1874, the organiza tion was completed by the election of a vest rv composed of L. H. DeRos set. T. D. McCauley, S.S.S. MeCauley, and H. L. Fry. On December flth of the same year Bishop Atkinson made a visitation and confirmed the first class presented by Mr. Deal. In that class were Mrs. Elizabeth McCauley, Mrs. Cornelia McCauley, Mr. W. J. C. McCauley, Mr. M. E. McCauley. and Mr. William McCauley. The new church rented a hall over a rtre where now stands the store of the Co-Operative Mercantile Com pany on Jeffersm street. There the congregation worshipped until the eighties, when the lot where the pres ent chur'-h stands was purchased. On this lot was a frame building known as Temperance Hall. This was turn ed around and a vestibule and belfry added and otherwise. lilted for church services. In 1802 the rectory was built in the southeastern corner of the lot. which is one hundred nn'd eighty feet square. In 1911 the old building was taken down and the present brick church built. The growth of the congregation dnrini: these forty-live or more years h been slow but steady. Iliih Girl Turns Hoodlum, Then Rob her. to Save louver.

Still Selling Fifty Cent Cotton. A few more hales of long staple cotton were sold in the Monroe mark et in the past few days. Mr. J. D. S.

WHEELER in The Chicago Tribune. Some highbrow once said that the only pure folklore we have in the l lilted States are the old-tin. e mel dies and campiueeting songs of the Aoutnern negroes. One starts think ing the proposition over as the lines colored doughboys swing down the sycamore lined roadways of France in the dusk of the evening, singing in that quavering, strident, half moaning voice that surely has the elements both of primitiveness and originality. A long line of colored troopers were marching along a hillside in the zone of operations one evening as we rame upon them. Long before we met up,with them the melody of some old plantation song could be recognized. As we approached them the words could be distinguished. "It's me. O Lawd, standin' in th' need o' prayer; It's me, O Lawd. standin' in th' need o' prayer." Then, a high-pitched, quavering, piercing voice the leader rose above the voice of many heavy boots on the cobblestone road: "Not my mother, not my sister," and then the whole company in a great perfervid primitive prayer: "It's nie. O Lawd, standin' in th' need o' prayer; It's me. O Lawd, standin' in th' need o' prayer." Again the high-pitched voice of the leader: "Not the elder, not the chaplain." and then the whole company: "It s me. O Lawd, standin' in th' need o prayer. It has a swing to it that cannot be described without the notes. Lieu tenant Senny (white), a Plattsburg and Harvard man. who had charge of this company, told me that he couldn't possibly have a finer lot of soldiers tinder him than these negro hoys. He encouraged them to us? their plantation songs, and kept them at it for months, until they have no fear of Huns or death or anything in the world if only their hearts can give voice to the stirring melodies. A platoon of Georgia hoys, so the story runs, were dig'ging a trench not many tulles behind No Man s Land one afternoon. The sun was shining down pretty warm, and they threw off their helmets. The dirt was fly ing over their heads and the low humming voices blended beautifully. "It's nie. O Lawd, standin' in th' need o' prayer." Fritz, with a load of aerial bombs, nosed his Gotha in the direction of this platoon and was over them be fore they noticed him. He let drop a couple of honi'bs that fell uncom fortably near the trench. Then he swooped down and unlltnbered his machine gun with that put-put-put accompaniment that induces one to hunt for the dugout. Just one man in the platoon lost his bearings for the moment. He was a Georgian 'about six feet two inches tall, lean and lanky, but very power ful, lie leaped out of his trench, so the boys say, and legged il over the hillside in mighty Jumps. He didn't wait to recover Ills helmet but held the shovel over his head as he de parted, and, with nearly every jump, they heard shout : O Lawd. keep 'em high! "O Lawd, keep 'em high!" And back in the trench the platoon was hurling dirt over their heads as dirt never before was scooped up in shovels, and accompanied by the humming voices, now a little louder .Mid with a sort of accelerated and staccato punctuation: "It's nie, O Lawd, standin' In th' need o' prayer." This same squad between songs has another story they think is all right. One of the boys had been up at the front and gone over the top a couple of times. When he was sent back for a rest a brother colored soldier from Mississippi edged up to him. showed two perfectly fine rows of perfectly while teeth and inquired: "Say. boss, what yn' all moan by dis ober de top stuff?" The boy who had experienced the sensation looked nt him seriously for a moment and replied: "Sav, hov. when der.i orders do came and dat ztro hour am struck, and day's gwin ober dat ton. It Jnst nut 'Good night, wotld; gmd . i:iawi- ln' Pearly Gatfs'. One of their most i.otul.ir r -:-ch- iug songs that has a swing to it that is irresistible, that mus! cms up the t-.Mscl.-s in their legs like Aieviv' "'s rag ilocs to a Chicagoon of the rut-i-asian breid. denls with !'h-- no'ii "e-. ( Tt require a leader wi'h thn hi'"!' pitched, o'uiverins. th'illl'i -i voice to make it go Ji st right. The leader shouts. "O mnanaw"! mourner), and the great plea comes from the whole company. "Doan stay away." The leader aeain pierce the nigh' with that strident cry. "O backslider " nnd the chorus rolls over the hills. "Doan stay away." The leader usuallv re peats the same salutation several limes. His appeal Is to the "moanaw." the "backslider," the "deacon" and the "elder." and the wonderMIv blending voices, like the diapas from the pl" of a great organ, rolls frrth again and again, "Doan stay nr" " "Lil LiM Jnne" is another o" er fnl harmony they use a (rood deal. It requires an accomplished leader to make the salutation of the firs. lin" with the chorus landine on the "Lil Liza Jane," which is repeated over LATEST HAPPENINGS News Events of the Day in the State and Nation.
