BIBLE WFERENCE
It has been definitely determined
by the ministers of this section in
terested, irrespective of denomina
tion, that the institute under the
above caption shall be held at the
Sylva Auditorium, Friday, August
1st 19ia -
This capital idea was the out
growti if the great Bible 'Confer
ence .recently iheld in the city of
Atlanta. It was the large-minded
conception of Rev. X. E. Deitz, free
ly ebneurred in by Reverends -Caleb
A. Ridley and -Napoleon Cowan, all
of whom .are Western -North Caro
linians and all of whom were pres
ent -at that conference.
it is proposed that we organize
this conferenoe so that it may' in
clude 11 the denominations in the
stateiand the states contiguous.
That this conference shall be
held in the oppressive month gT
August, here at Sylva. in the .very
middle of the 'mountains, affording
a xetreat for ministeis and laymen
deleted by the blistering days and
sleepless nights of the lowlands.
That the sessions shall be held
annually in August, .permanently
at Sylva with its large auditorium
and; four : passenger trains a day;
and continue ten days and nights,
the days ty be devoted to the study
of the Bible and' the nights to
preaching and evangelistic work. " :

since, all the local ministers and
others.
This movement promises to re
sult in incalculable blessing to
Jackson county and our entire
mountain country.
It will be a great Bible school and
goodness knows we all need to learn
more of this great fountain of all
lliterature and life.
It will, if the people so decide, be
the greatest religious revival since
the days of the "camp meetiug."
Jfwil undoubtedly be the richest
(intellectual feast our people have
yet enjoyed.
It will beat the most idle season
of the year just between lay-
ing-fcy" and fodder-pulling time"
We older people'cannot afford to
miss it for the deep stirring it will
give our care-worn, callous hearts.
We cannot afford to allow our
young ones to miss it for the spirit
ual elevation and the supurb cul
tural effect it will produce on their
young minds.
My friends begin now to get
ready for the greatest , occasion of
recent, years. Watch these columns
for a complete program.

Cullowhee Normal and Industrial
School has just closed one ; of ; the
most interesting commencements
of its history; The exeicises with
out exception have been wl ' at
tended arid the order at these exer
cises has .been unusually X fine.
Proceeding promptly .the entire ma
chinery of the 'commencement
moved forward with dispatch from
beginning to close.
. Dr. Vann, the president of Mere
dith College, delivered an inspiring
sermon -Sunday morning, and an
other Sun lay evening before the Y
M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. The gen
ial manner of this splendid man, to
gether with the noble messages he
brought in language as beautiful as
it was stirring, for him the admiral
tion and gratitude of the entire
student body and management of
the school, as well as of the audi
ences that heard him.
Dr. C. B. - Waller, of Asheville,
spoke Tuesday on the subject The
Men We Need. His analysis of
the type of manhood demanded by
the times was clear, forceful and in
teresting. His address rang with,
good sense and brilliant humor from
beginning to end. Many pronounc-

The annuaT Grand Concert, under
the direction o i Mrs. Mary Carter
Brinson, the school's accomplished
director of music, and Miss Char-
lotte Young, who has presided vith
genial manner and persistent f aith-
fulness over the work of the expres
sion department; was a decided
succes. Tfye participants manifes
ted clearly the excellence of the
training they had received.
As a whole the work of the
school has been successful beyond
the most ardent hopes of its pro
moters. The new administration,
which took cliarge last September,
began its work under difficulties
but as the months went by, obstac
les vanished, difficulties were over
come and success gradually became
an assured fact The .-.school - has
enrolled this year one hundred and
sixty-eight students. This has tax
ed,, almost to the utmost, the boar
ding capacity of the school and
community. . About two-thirds of
this number are young men. ; The
student body has been characteri
zed by a large degree of fine intelli
gence and high moral character. ; r
.The future of the institution
seems now assured. The General
Assembly, at its last session, appro
priated $15,000 for , building 'purr
poses. This will be used in the er
ection, this summer, of a modern
adniinistration building and in the
coriipletion of the girls dormitory.
These buUdings will be heated by
steam, lighted by electricity and
supplied with hot and ; cold water
anp! sanitary equipment - At the
earliest possible moment the mana
gement expects a landscape gard
ner to plan fox the improvement
and rjeauttfying of tJ school
grounds, which are by nature "capa
ble of wonderful development '
Added to all this is the gratifying
fact that the Sylva and 'Cullowhee
townships have decided to coristruct
between Cullowhee and Sylva, an
up-to-date santiclayv or ; i macadap,
road. This ."will make ; the school
easy of access arid n bring it into

The road, trustees of DiUsboro
township, appointed under -the aefc
of the General Assemblyr have au
thorized the sale of $15000 (fii'teeit
thousand dollars) worth of Dills
boro township bonds, to be used ixm
grading and constructing roads irx
that township, one road to meet the
road constructed by Sylva to the"
Dillsboro line and to the Cullowhee
line, Cullowhee to meet it and carry
the road through that township.
This action of the Dillsboro town
ship road trustees makes a total of
$65,000 in ,bond8 that have beem
issued by the three townships,Dillsr
boro, CulldWhee and S ylva, to:be
used in road work in these threer
townships, Sylva having already
sold $30,000 and Cullowhee $20,000,.

But if by accident it attacks the em

As soon as a setting is accumu--latedit

worm is big enough to start, im
business on his own hook, he throws
histhook into a bare heel of a cottori
