Declares Against Preparedness Idea. Durham, Nov. 6. Declaring that the idea of "preparedness" was ill founded in fact, since it was unscrip tural throughout, the North Carolina Virginia Christian Conference placed itself squarelv on record against Pres ident Wilson's defense program.

Election was bv ballet ind uo orw was placed in nomination, each mem ber writing his cucice on a slip of pa per, and the ballots being collected and counted by the tellers, Thonah many names were voted lor, there was a striking unanimity for the succes? fol one. Before the result of the first ballot was aunocnoed Dr. Crai, the pastor, said he was reminded of Proverbs 10:33, "The lot is cast into ihe lap; but the whole disposicg thereof Is of the Lord." The three new Elders are at present members of tbe Board, of Deacons, and 83 the election of six new Deacons on ly increases the Board by turee. Tiie new officers will add strength tn the Church organization, and the peo ple are looking forward to greater things. The building of a new house of worship Is a project upon which the hearts of the people are set, and the coming year will likely see the work pushed forward to completion. It is planned to erect a modem build ing which will be a credit not only to the denomination but to the city. Dr. D. I. Craig, who has been the faithful and beloved pastor for more than thirty-seven years, is renewing his youth under the stimulus ot the vigorous enthusiasm ot tbe co-pastor, his gifted son. Rev. Carl B. Craig. They make a flue combination, of ripe experience and virile aggressiveness. SADLER SCRAPS. CorttjhuqklngtareoTeiuJBtbls era have well-filled ctijl Daring ne huiking time we had tome warm dis cucsiions as to what , is the proper method of cultivating corn. There is Bob Jackson, who believes implicitly in tbe mule and turning plow. Yon couldn't induoe him to use a horse' or cultivator under any circumstances, and he makes good corn. J. F. Cov ington used both animals and Imple ments, and taking soil Into considera tion, beat, tbe town, In onr opinion. Tbe Messra. Oorom made , more bush els than was prod need on any other one farm, but they bad decidedly the best corn land. Thanksgiving here was rather qnlsX. A company composed of frisky wid ows, cay old bachelors and love-ifok girls and boya went out rabbit bent- ing. II was an admirably planned si fair, and lasted all day. Each girl, or widow, as the case might be, was to take lunch for two, and they, in some sonny nook wore to eat In happy se clusion. This would have worked oat well but for tbe fact that two of tbe girls couldn't go, leaving two ot the boys lonely, and without dinner ac cording to previous calculations. But previous plans didn't go. These lone sorxe kids wrought special vengeance on the rabbits and In so doing took lots of exercise and grew very hun gry, therefore at lunch these two vis ited each couple, playing havoc with Jove and ratinnc, and according to some of tbe girls, practically spoiling tbe day as well as tbe dinner. After the bunt the par ty attended a dance in tbe evening at the home of Mr. A. J. Johnson, but most of them were too tire to dance and went bome early. Messrs. R. E. William and D. O. and G. O. Burton have recently mov ed to town, and Mr. Jsae Coram has accepted a position at Brlttaln's drag store beginning Dec 1. Our town has a deserted appearance, and we would feel real lonely bat for tbe fact that our good friend, Floyd Kemp, flit In and ont so otfen at to keep us right good company. Misses Frances Glass and LiUie Raa coe, tbe principal and primary teach er here, attended the State Teachers Meeting at Raleigh mat week. Savings Rank 6VTf est Co. will mall Oct to members .'of --the Chriitmas Saving Club checks aggregating flfi.SOQ, Tbe Club wiU close in a ftw days, and about ten days before tbe joyous boll day Mason, each member will receive a handsomely lithographed check for the full amount ot deposits made dur ing the past year, with Interest. What this mean to Reidsville may be appreciated to some extent when we state that the Club Is composed of 1,1 S3 members, who bare been put ting away their pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters and halves during the past twelve months, with a view to Chriitmas "preparedness." No frenzied, spasmodic preparation for them, bat patient, systematic work weok in and week out. Practically every single one cf tbee members re sides in Reidsville. and it may be tak en as a practical certainty that ihe f lfi,500 will te pent tn Reldsy Hie. It will be spent, too, at a soason of the year when any city needs ail the sus tenance it can git. Nor will U this amount be spent on foolish bauble for the Christmas season. A large part of It will go for food, Inel and clothing. Reidsville will immediately feel the good effects of practically every penny of this tlG,500 as it Is put Into the channels of trade. The lesion of this Savings Clnb is tbe value of small sums of money sav ed' regularly and systematically, which otherwise would have been spent foolishly. Nothing slips out of one's hand so easily as money. t That this Idea ol inspiring savJnge is proving fruitful is proved conciaa ively by the growth of the Club. Last year tbe total amount deposited Taeo3eers In ebarg re coafidant that the Clnb next year will doolie that of the present. Dosbtlesi a substsntlal part of the fin, 600 to be disbursed to the members of the Club will be deposited In tbe savings department of the Rock Ing ham 8a v lags Bank & Trust Co. .which pays 4 per cent, interest compounded quarterly, thus Initiating a "rainy day fund" which soar crow from time to time to substantial proportions. The new 1016 Glob will open oa December 20. Kitchin Rcj for Biz Battle. eeBagsasntaa Wesbtatgoa, Nov. 17. Representa tive Claude Kltchlo, Diooeratio lead er of tha House, who oppose tbe A4 ministration's national dsfentt prt gram, returned to the capital today to prepare for tbe organization meeting of the Ways and Means Committee next week. Representative Kitchin said he would favor a Congressional Inquiry into what he characterized a "de fense ' propaganda" to dsterraiae whether It may te supported cy per sons allied with tbe manufacture of munition. He did not comment on Secretary McAdoo's estimate, hot said, when tbe preparedneee program finally was adjasted by Congress, he would co-operate with tbe Adminis tration on cueatores for tbe cecttsary revenues. "First, I waot to keep the people from being taxed for prepared aese." said Representative Kitchin, bot if I cannot prevent that, I do not pro pose to oppose tbe party in providing the necessary revenue."
