Baxter McLendon told the big audi ence that greeted him here at his first appearance Sunday afternoon in the bigtent on the-city school grounds. The purpose of .the meeting is. to put, some stumps irv the way of this movement hellward, and the revival ist was in doubt about the kind of meeting that is reeded in Monroe. He said.' we needed a revival that wdnld make hell put on mourning, one that will sweep Union county like a cyclone sweeps a haystack, a revir val that will be strong , enough to save' the bootleggers, if they will be saved nd if they won't be saved, to put them on the chain gang. Such revivals, he said, do not come easy. They are the result, of the hardest kind of work. He did not bring such a revival with him in his vest pocket, but God has plenty of them and they can be had if you go after them hard enough.-'. '.S:,. ' '.The tent holds 7,500 people if no one takes more than eighteen inches and every eighteen, inch space is tak en. Before the sermon Sunday after noon Mr. McLendon himself looked over the audience and estimated that there were five thousand people un der -canvass. The night service . was also well attended. ' v ;vlfV; ' They , came from all quarters. The evangelist looked , over the t crowd U La . Kma.. nnIrMM. mint HnlH that he saw friends from way down -in South -Carolina and way up in North Carolina. Such an audience has rarely been seen here. ' As th meeting is to go on for four weeks, with service each afternoon and night, sooner or later every one in these parts will have heard the gat lin gun evangelist. ' - - Mr McLendon said that while he ..WW ..... WW.M.. " r assembled he was known to about ev erybody in the lower part of the county and called over many family "names..ihat he said hevima always neara irom nis. mower. ui grana father made' saddles' in Monroe dur ing the "war, he said.' and after the war moved to Marlboro county, S. C, because foxes were getting too scarce up here. He had inherited his grandfather's love for the chase and had himself caught, three foxes last vRev. W. B SJ Chandler of the Mon roe Presbyterian church lead in -the amamimw Twatrn dnnlair n f i-amn trrt and Dr. Weaver introduced Mr McLen don. The choir was largely filled by singers from all over the county and with leader Jones on the platform and Mrs. Goode at the piano, they made the tent reverberate with ' rolling volumes of song. - ' - . The evangelist called all his six or eight " helpers to the platform and introduced them to the Audience. One of them is a converted Jew, Mr. Fred Seibert. Another is the physical train er of the evangelist, sa d to be the middleweight champion wrestler of the country. He is, a little man, but ' the evangelist told the audience that he could walk out there and tie any man in the audience and put him in A Knv' Wo Wor.a Mr MrT.prMnn in physical fitness. .,.,..". . '. Having introduced his 'helpers, Cy clone explained about the expense of the meeting. The f out1 weeks - in Monroe will cost just five thousand dollars. Not a cent of this, goes, to the evangelist himself. Only the col lection taken on the last day goes to him. The other goes for actual ex penses' and salaries. He .asked for an initial contribution of one thou sand dollars, and sent the dish pans around by the three score ushers. The collection was taken in literal tin pans, some of . them standard dish pans, and the coin rang uppn the tin with a clatter. The collection amount ed to $370, He told the audience that dimes and nickels wouldn't get any where in a collection of this Kind and asked that fives, tens, and twenties be dropped into the pans. At that it was a good collection as collections go. No steam roller methoda were .nrtlied. .. " Mr. McLendon's sermons are of the regular evangelistic type full , of breezy phrases, a good deal of sound philosophy, hot 1 attacks upon the common evils and objectionable things of the present, and a call for old time, orthodox religion, with no revised Bible and no cooling down of bell fire. He says that he has travel ed all the gaits of sin and found that there's nothing iii it.- He says a good many people say they do not like his rreaching, but he is ready to change lis methods if any one will show him how to get bigger crowds and do more 0O.'l. '.' ...... The afternoon sermon was from t' e text, "Not by might, nor by pow er, but by my spirit, saith the Lord cf Hosts." Lis personal application (t ti e text was that God was doing t, e work and using him merely as a v '; i '-ir-'t.'r.t.. . . . ' At ! t the sermon was directed t.vft.-iruj church members who- are i t tloinr their duty, who are as "cold tta a bachelor's appetite." Sinftilr.es? s i:.,f.:it''if,j!nf.-s of church mem liis v. ai .iu .hcnie.'ar.d all kinds of customs, from pride in fine church1 houses, to dances in which the women do not wear clothes "enough to make leggins for a hummingbird," came in for denunciation. The theme was the losing of Jesus by his parents on leaving Jerusalem and the pointed question asked was, "Where have you lost Jesus?" He said he expect ed to get the number of every carp in? sinner in the community and ''ring your bell" before the meeting is over. .' j CYCLONE MACK GIVES BIG . BOOST TO DR. MAHONEY, Rev. B. F. McLendon' paid a big' compliment to Dr. A; F. Mahoney on Sunday before beginning his sermon. The evangelist had been' enumerating the names of hfs kinsmen and friends that he found in the audience, and telling why he had always wanted to - bold a meeting-in Monroe. And said: ' "Up here you have a man who cams from Marlboro county, and . he was the best asset that county ever , lost Dr. Mahoney, the head ""of your hospital. I will tell the au diencs what I told Reny (his wife.) . Reny said, 'Baxter, if yon needed a surgeon right bad which one would you get?' and I said, 'Reny I would have Dr. Mahoney, for I think he is the very best surgeon i in the South!" : ,.. I SUDDEN DEATH TO-DAY OF MR. J. F. McMANUS - Mr. J. F. McManus died, suddenly this morning at his home of heart failure. He ate his. usual supper last night arid retired at the regular time. Though;, he had not been altogether well, no apprehension was felt by. himself or the family. However he did not get up at the early' hour he was accustomed to rise, and. the fam ily did not call him. thinking' that he rwished to rest longer, than usual Later one of his little grand-daugb-ters went into the: room and he called her to tell his wife to come in. Mrs. McManus entered and found -him in a weakened and -trembling condition. She remarked that she would call a doctor and did so but nothing could be done for him . i , Mr. McManus is survived by his wife, who is a sister of Rev. Baxter Funderburk, a well known min'ster oiA soutn uaronna,v one son, car. dbsu McManus, and two . grand-children. Both .of his parenW "who live-near TradeSville, atsosuryivft .him.

CONCORD WOULD LIKE ; TO SEE PROFESSOR The Stanly News-Herald ays that during tLi past s.ummer :a rather clean-cut, well dressed man of abouc 40 years of age, made a some .vhat f reteatioua appearance in Albei ma.-le. g ving his name as "Prof ."

I wunately, however, Aiber mtrle did not take to the gentlemen very strongly, as he only secured oae pupil. He shortly abandoned the lo cal field but continued to work his Concord territory with renewed Vigi lence. He succeeded in winning thj confidence of a young lady at.States ville said to be a member of a promi nent family whom he married a few weeks ago. According to newspaper i reports, ''Prof." Prindell has come to Grief It is reported that he has a number of wives and that he is u down-right swindler and a faker, He left Concord, it is said, owing quite a large number of debts to Concord Seople. He seems to have posed in klahoma as Allan D wan. Reports state that he is wanted tn Oklahoma, New York, and Kentucky in all of which states, it is said, he has a very: checkered record .which the people would like to see him face.

FUTCII FALLS UPON SLEEP One of Monroe's' Oldest and Best Loved Residents . Passes Mrs. J. D. Futchr, born in Monroe in the early years of the town, and a lifelong resident, died yesterday after-, noon after weeks of illness, at the fam.ly home on Crawford street. Her death had been expected at any time, but the cheerfulness and optimism that characterized her. life never left her. Her devoted husband and six sons' and daughters, survive her y The funeral will be held at the resi dence at four thirty this afternoon, by her pastor, Dr. Weaver, Rev.fC. R. Cody and Rev. J. E. Abernathy of Charlotte if he can get down. The honorpry pall bearers are Messrs. J. H. Lee, E. C. Winchester, G. M. Beasley. W. C Heath, J. J. Crow, and W. C. Wolfe. The active: Messrs. J. A. Stewart, C. E. Houston, N. C. English, W. J. Rudge, Lee Griffin, and Joel W. Griffin. ; Mrs. Futch was nearly sixty four years old, having been born in Mon roe Dec. 19, 1859. She was the daughter of John D. and Lydia A. Stewart. That length of years marks nearly the history of Monroe, and Mrs. Futch 's father had perhaps, more to do with the foundations of the town than any man who lived in that per-' iod. He was the most energetic busi ness man of his period and was the first to erect brick buildings in the town. He was the leading spirit in the building of the old Monroe High school, which was a huge brick structure on the site where now stands the city grammar school, and which was cut off from his farm and" resi dence for the purpose. He was ac tuated at that early day with the de sire to educate his own children and those of the community as well. Af ter going to school here the deceased was sent as a girl to Peace Institute in Raleigh. She became one pi the first muse, teachers in the town and was organist at the Methodist church for many years. " J "On February 9r 1882, she waskmar ried to Mr. John- D. Futch, who had located in Monroe ' from Scott's Hill near Wrilmington. From the time of hor marr atr hftP life flowed as neace fully and quietly as a gentle brook, and she , devoted her1' iinie ; to the rearing f her children arid1 & house hdd atntf.'flrtffhborly duUes-fSherrear-ed i four .eons' and tw daughters and was oneof the few mothers of. America to aee all four jof her sons in the service of their coun try during the . World War. . She join ed the Methodist church in girlhood, and her life 'was that of a modest, quiet, and gentle christian. She. was a member of the D. A. R., and a charter member of the Auxiliary of the American Legion. She was a lady of unbounded and j sustaining faith and had no anxiety about theuture. She is survived by her devotJ hus band and . the. following children, all of whom were at her bedside fc't the time of her death; ', David K,,;Futch, Mary Stewart Futch, John D. . Futch, Jr., Archer H. Futch, Capt. Theodore Leslie Futch of the ..United States armv. and Julia Stewart Futch. The following are her brothers and sis ters now surviving: Mrs. Alice Nel son, Mis'. Elizabeth Bundy, Mrs. Lau ra Ashc'raft, Capt. W. C. Stewart, Dr. H. D. Stewart, Mrs. J. E. Stewart, and Mrs. C. D. Roberts. FED 'EM AND PLENTY OF FRAGMENTS LEFT The boys did not feed five thou sand . with toothsome barbecue,- but they fed all who applied and had plenty of fragments left. A whole pig was reserved for the Wingate ball team after, their game in which they were defeated by a mixed team from Monroe. And the barbecue was everything that was expected. By count right around three thousand people were served. The Legion boys wish to thank every one who helped to make the Armistice Day a suc cess, and will later give in detail the names of those to whom they especi ally feel grateful. - v : ' The parade came in for a good deal of. favorable comment. Those who went to, the trouble and expense of getting up floats deserve great cred it for what they , did in making the great day a success. ; ' The school floats were especially praiseworthy. Benton Heights, -which won first prise, Lee Park, which won second prize, Fowler, which won third prize, and Unionville and Wesley Chapel all came in for special and fa vorable comment. They were all well received and artistically execu ted. Benton Heights contrasted the old ' and the tew in educational opportunity. Lee Park showed a his torical tableaux, with Uncle Sam and the Goddess of Liberty in front and behind the elements that early came and settled the country, following the aboriginees. ' Altogether the program was wor they and the immense crowd ceVtain lv enjoyed it, and were renewed in their patriotic impulses by the events of the day, not fogetting the fine speech cf Mr. McLean. .

McLean of Lumberton, former member of the Federal War Finance. .Board,- and. prospective gov ernor j of , North Carolina, Armistice Day. orator in . Monroe Saturday, spoke t to a courthouse full of people at, eleven o'clock. He is not a high pressure speaker, but speaks calmly and thoughtfully and appropriately to the' occasion.. ...( Tha gathering in the courthouse was presided over by Mr. Henry Crow who called upon the audience to stand while the band played the natioaaj air. Dr. Burrell then led in a moat impressive prayer,, after which Mr. Crow asked the large -audience to bow for one minute in profound si lence J in memory of the dead heroes and ift prayer for the living. He then asked $on. J. F. Milliken to introduce the seaker. In presenting Mr. Mc Lean Mr. Milliken said that those who perved at home during the war served faithfully in the cause and that hone had done a better part in this particular than the speaker of the day. ' Mr , McLean spoke of the record of A nericain the war, of our prob lems and duties in peace, of the ne cessity of upholding the laws and the Constitution, and paid a warm trib ute 1 1 President Wilson. He spoke as folio- rtpvy--.. v, ; Fr im he beginning of civilization dowi , to this good hour, it has been the (ustom of enlightened nations to makf a ceremonial of the - achieve ment of their great men in art, in lette s,. ini war and in peace. In re spon e , to this sentiment, peoples erect! , monuments to their immortal dead,, and set apart certain davs -tn celel ate . t events, a that have taken place, in the history of their nation. LFiya years ago the most destruct ive, fear, in all history came to an end. I Never before had civilization beenl so sorely -tried. Thaough four long) years, the struggle between the forces, of military autocraev on ' thn one liand and of neaceful .demnrB(v oir the other wavered between defeat and Victory, and at times the hope of final victory seemed to have- well nigh vani, bed. But at last, oit November 11. LD18. thft din t& .battlii'-ttM inii. deniV-Tiushed, and 1a: tottering, Uoed drenched world 'staggered for a mo ment and stood still to await the sur render of the flag, which righteous force compelled to acknowledge that arbitrary might alqne was not the fi nal arbiter of human destiny. - -Through the magnitude and conse quences of the war were the greatest of all time, the uncomoromisimr'nrin ciples of right and justice finally pre vailed, vi here were deeds ox undying glory on one side and black and dia bolical shame Of the other. Conceived in wickedness and its beginning di rected by men masquerading' in the garb of demigods, the war ended with the severe rebuEe- and disastrous de feat, which fate always reserves for the selfish and arrogant bully, i America; -always a lover of .peace, and hating armed strife, had no part in the causes, which brought on the war. But when the hour struck, and civilization lay bleeding, and - well nigh exhausted, upon - the blood drenched fields of France, America quickly girded on her righteous sword, and went forth, to war, not for sel fish motives which have so often actuated nations in the past, but for the God-inspired purpose of putting an end to war for all time, and thus making the world a safe, place for nations which have so democratic gov ernment to live and thrive. ' i I see before me today some of the men who helped to win the great vic tory, which crowned the arms of America and her brave' associates in the conflict. Many of you braved the dangers of three thousand, miles of submarine infested seas, to the end that permanent peace might come to an exhausted and stricken world. . The nations of the world were in spired and astonished at the spec tacle of, five million selected men, the flower of American youth, being as sembled to fight beyond the seas for democracy, and peace. With -no thought of conquest and no desire to add to material resources, America fought a good fight. She fought not for glory, but she was deluged with it, and the lustre of that glory adorns the brow of everyone who played a part in achieving it: , You Legionaires are worthy rep resentatives of the invincible army that America sent to war. It is not necessary for me to attempt to re count to this intelligent audience the I valorous -deeds of that army. . Its magnificient record from the time of jits induction into the service to its honorable discharge, is known, admir ed, and glorified throughout the civi lized world today. .You and your brave comrades from our, own good State made a- name that causes the heart of every pa triotic North Carolinian to glow with pride. You added new lustre to the record established by your forefathers in all the wars in which our State has been engaged. Forty thousand of your American comrades paid the supreme sacrifice; and today all over our beloved eo'it try we are trying to pcy our hu .ijia tribute to their r.imai-y. .it or a little while we turn cside from the" petty complexions of our daily life to salute the living, to pay tribute to our glori ous dead, and to voice oEr determina tion to justify the agonies they en dured, hy making a better world in which to live. . , , , How great their courage, how stauncn and unwavering their faith in our cause, how strong their love of liberty, we all know. It is ap propriate that we should honor them, not with mere posturings of senti ment, nor with feeble gestures of acclaim, but by doing, our part to ward solving the serious problems of peace. Despite oar deep de votion to those who died and des pite our sympathy for those who still suffer from afflictions of war, we are filled with hope today, just as I be lieve our dead would have us hope, because of the treat struggle. Dure and radiant as the memory of those who died, stands the ideal of de moeraev as the atrenphtheninir nrin- ciple of a worlf"re-born. It was for these ideals that so much of blood and treasure was paid, and so much of unselfish service given. These prin ciples or democracy should be virile fighting force in our lives today. And so my friends. Armistice Day should be not only a day of celebration but a day of dedication. We celebrate the victories won; we honor the memo ries of those who died, to achieve those victories; but our duty does not end there. We must consecrate our lives anew to the principles for which our soldiers fought, steadfastly striving to translate these principles into action, for the purpose of solving the prob lems ot today, in the same unseffisn devotion to duty that actuated them when they went to war. . ; DffiD FROM EFFECTS OF FALL FROM A WAGON Mr. Johnson Toraberlin, who Jived on .
