The thirty-first Annual Conven
tion of the North Carolina Sunday
School Association will meet in Winston-Salem,
September 15, IS, 17.
The people of Winston-Salem will
furnish free entertainment to all del
egates who register for the Conven
tion, in. hiding lodging, breakfast
and supper. The visitors -will pajr
for their noon-day luncheon. A
plan is ander way to serve lunch in
some near-by building so that the
delegates may be togetner for a social
hour. i
j it is Qoite likely that this will be
, the last State Convention at which
free entertainment will be provided.
It is expected that after this year
plans will be made for a strictly dele
gated body.
The railroads will give the usual
reduced rates on the certificate plan.
All delegates will pay a registra
tion fee of $1.00 which will entitle
j them to badges, program, and all the
privileges of accredited delegates.
No effort isbeing made to make this
a large, noisy convention, but empha
sis is being placed on making it the
most helpful one ever held, if possi
ble. The program is being arranged so
as to make clear the standards of or
ganization and efficiency. The- par
ade will be educational in effect,
showing the divisions and depart
ments of a modern Sunday School.
A number of conferences will be
held each afternoon during the con
vention and they are being planned
so as to deal wih some outstanding
division, department, or feature of
work to be undertaken either
through the co-operative organiza
tions or the local schools.and will be
made to fit into each other so that in
the general conference to follow the
special conference, they will seem to
constitute a complete whole jn their
relation to each other.
There will be conferences and
noon-day luncheons for pastors, sup
erintendents ,etc, at which various
phases of the great movement will be
held at the noon day lunches if de
sired.

i:S I 'LACK IN' WTISON OA Hi NTT
(Washington, Ajgust 'SO. )
Tt.e selection by President Wiisn
of Thomas W. Gregory to be Attorney
General, gives another place in the
Cabinet to a Southern man. Mr.
Gregory vijl take the place of Attor
ney General J. C. Mclieynoids, nam
ed as Associate Justice c the Su
preme Court of the United States.
Mr. Gregory, although torn m Miss
issippi, has spent practically all his
lite in Texas. He has been a Jawrer
of singular ability and prosecuted
mauv cases against the trusts in bis
home .Btate.
When Attorney General McRey
noids entered the Cabinet on March
4, 1912, he picked Mr. Gregory as his
special asistant in order to take
charge of the investigation being con
ducted by the Department of Justice
into the affair 3 of the New York.New
Haven & Hartford Railroad. Mr.
Gregory collected all the evidence
against the directors of the road
which resulted in filing a civil suit
against them for violation of the
Sherman anti-trust law. President
Wilson warmly commended the Tex
an for the manner in "which he hand
led the New Haven case for the Gov
ernment. .
Mr. Gregory had the support of
Postmaster General Burleson for the
position in the Cabinet. Gregory and
Burleson have been warm friends
for a number of years, and the new
member of the President' odicial
family served as campaign manager
for Postmaster General Curler n
when the latter was a member of the
House.
SUPPLIES FROM (JKRMANY
The State Department has cabled
Ambassador Gerard at Berlin and
Unite I States consular officers in Ger
many to see what can be done to
ward getting the shipment of German
dyestuffs resumed. It is estimated
that the United States now has a
supply for less than 60 days and that
thereafter a mililon people in the cot
ton, woolen, silk, leather and other
industries will be threatened with a
cessation of worK unless relief can
be had. Traffic men will oe sent
abroad immediately to take charge of
the matter if favorable answers arc
received. The idea is to have the
dyestuffs sent by the Rhine into Hol
land and shipped thence in Holland
or other neutral vessels. Of course
the nature of these commodities is
such that an immense supply could
be forwarded by very few ships.
Fertiliser manufacturers and users
are also looking to the Rhine and
Holland as th.3 route by which they
may hope to obtain supplies of potash
Every good wish will attend the ef
forts to have these crying wants sup
plied. Charlotte Observer.
It is announced that the National
Geographic Society's War Primers,
being much in demand, will here
after come out three times a week.

4 5,000, situated at almost the cen
tral point of the 42 miles of sea
coast that belong to Belgium. In
the Middle Ages it was strongly for

its ramparts were removed. Since
then a new town has been created,
in which a solid granite digue or
parade over two miles long, a casino,
royal chalet and a race-course are
features. Ostend is in direct rail
road communication with Brussels,
Cologne and Berlin.

fied places in Belgium, on the Dander
River, near the confluence with the
Scheldt. Its fortifications are old
consisting of two forts and a walled

ed the dikes and flooded the coun
try. The population is approximate
ly llr;00u.
Ivlons A ciiy in Southern Belgium,
the Capital of Hainaut since the
Eishth Century, at which time
Charlemagne recognized it as such.
It has had a long military history,
with numerous sieges, being many
times fortified, dismantled, and for
tified again, and being finally made
an unfortified city in 1862.- It if
a flourishing city of about 30,000
inhabitants, and is the central point
of Belgium's great coal district, the
Borinage.
Valenciennes A French frontier
town with a population of about
28,000, 30 miles southeast of Lille,
at the confluence of the Rhonelle
and the Scheldt. It is the heart
of a great industrial district near
the Anzin coal region. It is a
French edition of the city of Liege,
except that it is unfortified, the old
fortifications having been transform
ed into pleasure grounds and drives
in 1892.
Soignies A flourishing town of the
Province of Hainaut, Belgium, owing
its prosperity to the important blue
granite quaries in the neighborhood.
Bouillon A small (own in South
ern Beligum, 10 miles northeast of
the French town of Sedan. It is
situated in the beautiful valley of
the Semois, and is overlooked by
the famous Castle of Godfrey of

where the French and the Prusians
met in 1870, and where the French
were forced into an unconditional
surrender, including their King, an
army of 82,000, 558 guns, and an
immense amount of stores. The
Germans lost 9,000, and the French
17,000. Marshal Macmahon gather
ed his retreating army there on
August 31, but made no attempt to
communicate with Vinoy's corps at
Mezieres, nor to break through the
gap between the German Third and
Meuse Armies. The Germans sur
rounded the city.
THE FIRST VOYAJE
(St. Louis Times)
Here is an interesting item, writ
ten in New York City on the 26tu of
August:
The flrst voyage from San Francis
co to New York by way of the Pana
ma Canal' was completed here today
upon the arrival of the Pleiades, of
the Lucl'enbach Steam. ship Company.
The Pleiades, which flies an Ameri
can flag,' sailed from San Francisco on
July 24 and passed through the ca
nal on August 16. She is one of a
fleet of 10 steamships which the com
pany will operate between New York
and San Francisco.
It is too bad that, pfter men have
traveled all the way around Cape
Horn for a century or more, en route
from San Francisco to New York.the
journey should have been made in
less than half the distance and less
than half the time at last, or.ly tc be
achieved at a time when the -vorld's
retention is being directed toward
trreat feats of destruction rptluv
than a triumphant feat in the tac.k of
world-building.
