DAYTON, TENN., MINISTER QUITS WHEN MEMBERS MAKE THREATS Invited New York Minister to Deliver Evolution Sermon # Rev. Howard Gale Had Been Pastor for Three Years A Dayton, Tenn., dispatch says: Rov. Howard Gale Byrd withdrew from his pastorate of the Methodist Episcopal Church (Northern), here l last Sunday, when a large part of his congregation protested against the proposed preaching of a sermon on evolution in the church’s pulpit by Rev. Chark‘3 Francis Potter, modern ist minister of New York. Mr. Byrd, who invited Dr. Potter to occupy his pulpit, is pointed to as the original inspiration for the filing of charges against John T. Scopes, whose trial on an indictment alleging violation of the State law against teaching evolution in public schools I began in this town Friday. The three regular Sunday preach ing services were called off by the pastor, who announced to newspaper ' men at the parsonage: “I have quit. 1 have rlbt resigned— I have quit!” Byrd is 31 ye: rs old and has been pastor of the local church three years. Members of his congregation declared that the church had grown more in the three years of Bird’s ministration and had done more religious service I than in all its history of Ynany de- j cades. The Rev. Foster W. Taylor, funda- ! mentalist champion and pastor of the j Cocoanulj Grove Presbyterian church, Miami, Fla., of which William Jen nings Bryan is a member, hail been invited by Mr. Byrd to preach in the ! church on Sunday night. He was in formed by the pastor early in the day that the services had been cancelled. Mr. Byrd told Dr. Taylor that he j Would explain later the cancellation of j jjhie invitation. / Taylor declined to comment on the j incident. He did not wish to say what. was tlv subject of the sermon he had k prepared. Potter, pastor of the West Side Unitarian church, New York, until i bis resignation takes effect in Octo [ ber, had announced “Evolution” as i the subject of his sermon which he expected to deliver in the Methodist church on Sunday morning. He was i to speak at the invitation of Pastor Byrd. Byrd explained that he “quit be i cause he had invited Potter and in tended to stand by him.” Learning of the protests, Dr. Pot ter told Mr. Byrd that he would un- ! der the circumstances withdraw his . acceptance of the invitation. The New York minister then posted j this notice on the window of Robin son’s drug store, where the local con-1 troversy over the Tennessee anti evolution statute started: “Dr. Potter has cancelled his evolu- ! tion sermon this morning at the Meth- j ' odist Episcopal church owning to threat of congregation.” Questioned as to the significance of the expression “threat of congrega tion,” Dr. Potter declared: “More than half of Mr. Byrd’s con gregation called on him last night in j a body and told him that if I were j permitted to speak in the church, they ; would wreck the church.” George W. Rappleyea, original f prosecutor of evolution charges against Scopes, agreed to Potter’s ex planation. Rappleyea is a Sunday school teacher in Byrd’s church and | an ardent admirer of the local minis- ter. “Yes, they threatened they would break up the church,” he said. CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE An old sailor approached a farmer i| for a meal one day, saying he was willing to work. “I will give you a meal,” said the j farmer, “if you will round up those 1 sheep on the common there and drive them into this fold.” In three hour’s time the sailor came j back, looking hot hut happy. Glancing over the gate into the field, the farmer saw the sheep eafely in the fold. “There’s a jackrabb i sit ting up among ’em,” he exclaimed. I “Do you mean that little fellow i I there?” asked the sailor. “Why, th.G V 1 the little beggar who gave me all the trouble. I thought it was a lamb!” 1 We are ail born equ d, but we never die that way. , Indian Always Ready for Game of Chance All Indians of both sexes are In veterate gamblers. They have been known to gamble away everything they owned, including their wives and their lives, which is raising the white man's ante to a considerable degree. As a rule. Indian dice have but two sides that are marked. These markings are of a thousand and one different de signs and colors. The dice are cast either from the hand, a cup, bowl or basket. Many of the dice are thrown on stones, either held in the hand or on the ground. The object of this is to make the dice bound over and over, thus insuring a fair cast. The Indian, even as does the white i man and the African enthusiast, ' speaks endearingly to his gaming im plements, beseeching the Great Twin ; Brethren, the Spider Woman or who ever happens to he the deity presid ing over that particular game of j chance to cause “Lady Luck” to hover in his or her vicinity. Some of the ; vounger generation living on the Mesa Grande reservation coin their own phrases, decidedly modern and the elder men and women chanting gam ing songs so old that even the most ancient of tlie tribe had forgotten the meaning of the words. Roach, Pantry Pest, Is Native of India Sir Francis Drake, buccaneer of three hundred years ago, once took as a prize a Spanish ship loaded with spices from India. It is recorded that on that ship was a ' strange “black bugge” which the Spanish called cu earache, which strictly speaking, meant ‘wood louse.” This oucarache became tlie modern cockroach. It was a native of India, never unfit that time seen in Europe. These cock roaches, however, were sturdy fellows, given to living in dark and narrow places, and therefore happy in the holds of ships that plied the seas. Thus these argosies of commerce have served as a means of broadcasting the cockroach, and it is found in abund ance wherever man dwells. Mis hones have provided suitable breeding and dwelling places for these children of tiie warm countries. New species, one In America and one in Australia, were found ami dis tributed. So have world-girdling multi tudes of them appeared where before there were none at all or but local tribes. This increase in tlie range and numbers of the cockroach is typical of the man influence in the insect world. Purr-rr-rr Unlike Dickens, Thackeray did not delight in placing among the men and women of his novels unforgettable lit tle portraits of their dogs and cats, parrots or canaries. Nor do we think of Thackeray as having that personal fondness for domestic creatures which was characteristic of Dickens, whose own dogs no lets titan his favorite raven. Grip, figure largely in his let ters. But Thackeray’s daughter. Lady Ilitohie, gives in her recently published letters several delightful little glimpses of tier own and her friends’ pets; and in one brief and charming note site even ventures to interpret a few words : from Feiinese into English. She writes to her friend. Mrs. 'fjjrnld Ritchie: “Solomon (the cat) has been purring i messages, tell Peggy. He proposes to i write, but says it is superfluous to j say how much he misses her, and that ; he Is purrfectly lost without her to j stroke It is back. lie lias tried m.v lap. j but lie doesn’t much like it; lie finds it ] too purrpenaicular, and lie sends his love purr :ne.” — Youth’s Companion. Idol Found in Burma Splendid Work c f Art The bronze Buddha of Yokohama is j commonly thought to be the largest j statue of that god in the world, but J there is one in Burma that exceeds it in at least one dimension and gives un ' impression of greater size. When the English were building the | railway from Rangoon to Mandalay they searched the vicinity of Pegu for stone witli which to make tlie embank ment through the great swamps. In I the whole urea there was only one elevation of any importance. The j ! engineers thought that this hill might provide the necessary material, so they j dug into its base and were surprised \ to find some artistic brickwork, the Washington Star says. On clearing away the earth further | they found an enormous stone statue i that represented Buddha in a reclining i position. The statue is about 100 feet ; tong and, including the brick base, it is | ! more than 40 feet high. The Yoko- | hatua Buddha is 55 feet high and 110 j ! feet in circumference. Although tlte Burmese statue is not j 1 so artistic as the Japanese, it is a : wonderful piece of work. Not the least remarkable tiling about it is flip way in which so huge a monument had disappeared absolutely from Bur mese iiistory and legend. The news of the discovery at once brought numberless Buddhist. 1 to the place, who glazed and decorated the gigantic image as a work of devotion. The sides of its huge feet were orna mented at great cost with an elabor ate glass mosaic and each toe was embellished with a separate decora tion. TIIE ZEB'JLON RECORD, ZEBULON, N.

It is used by practically all classes of people in all parts of China. A meal without pork is considered to be unusually simple, and with the ex ception of vegetarians is used by slaves or very poor people only, tiie North China News says. Fresh pork Is such u common food that wealthy people will not even touch it. During New Year festivals and birthday or wedding celebrations a whole dressed hog or a half of it is often purchased and consumed by tiie family and their guests. Lamb, however, may be substituted for pork, hut beef is considered more or less sacred and is very seldom used for food. The quantity of meat eaten is small; it is usually served j cut into small pieces and mixed with vegetables fa a great variety of ways. Vegetables are used much more free ly by tiie Chinese people than by Amer icans. In addition to the common ones, such as imtatoes, spinach, cab bage, radishes and the like, many plants and weeds are eaten which are not usually considered as food in America. Thus radish leaves, shep herd's purse, bamboo sprouts and a large number of sea weeds are used as food. Believed Evil Spirit Lurked in Watch Case Until comparatively modern times the wearing of a watch was considered a proof of tiie owner's gentility, though the invention can 1 »«> traced back to the Fourteenth century. Watches were worn attached to a chain suspended around the neck, a fashion which still survives with women. From tin 1 following story of one Mr. Alien, a reputed sorcerer, who died in Idl’d, watches must have been very uncommon In his day. Being at Holme Lacey, in Hereford sliire, Allen happened to leave his watch in the chamber window. The maids entered his room to make the bed. and, hearing a curious ticking sound coming from a case, concluded that it war, their master’s devil. One of them took it up with tongs and threw it out of the window into tiie moat. The string attached to the case caught on tl e sprig of an elder that grew out of the moat, and tills con tinued their belief that the case con tained ail evil spirit. Youthful Mountains As oid as the hills means little in Haiti, for the mountains there are very young and the earth’s crust very mobile. Dr. Wendell I’. Woodring of the United States geological survey sax si that the rising of these hills prob ably causes the earthquakes which at | Intervals shake the northern part of ! the country. Some of the coral reef caps cover marine terraces that rise i like gigantic stairs from sea level to j a height of about 1.500 feet. These i terraces,-begun in Miocene times, are I pr served because of the aridity of the j climate and underground drainage. i Fight Derided Name In ISO.'i the community now knowr, as Bar re, Vt., was undecided as to the j new name for the town, the original name of which was Wilheslntrgh. A j change was decided on in 1793. Even- j tuaily the prosper! ive names narrowed down to two, Iloiden, sponsored by j < upt. Joseph Thompson, and Barre. oT red by Jonathan Sherman. bo:h names being after Massachusetts towns. The controversy developed Into it list light, Sherman winning | The city fathers and the legislature honored the victor by Earning the | town Barre. ■■■-- - - - Early Coffee Houses Coffee houses were places of re j freshment first opened in the Six- ! teeritli century in Constantinople. Ini | London they were, so to speak, dub J j houses, free to ail who could buy a i j cup; and yet each was known for its: | ! special circle of visitors, literary. scientific, religions or political, in the j i absence of newspapers they were a great means of spreading news and of discussing public questions. Nearly all of tlie middle and higher classes attended them daily, and they came to exert so powerful an influence in | politics that in 1075 Charles II at- j tempted to suppress them, but ! n vain, j Milk as a Food Milk as a food for every one lias ; i been extensively advertised in the \ United States in the past few years, : und apparently with convincing force , Statistics from 300 cities and 30,0-40 I farms indicate that in 1023 tile con- | sumption of milk was 53 gallons to « person, as compared with 50 gaiium, in 1022 and 49 gallons in ID2J In Boston the consumption to v person has advanced in eight, yearn from 35 to 04 gallons.
