The third of the weeks addresses at the First Presbyterian eh arch where the Westminster League ia holding a Chautauqua was delivered Tuesday evening by Rev. T. D. Jones, of Char lotte, air. Jones spoke of tbe reward those wbo served God have a right to expect showing that by nature tbe majority of us are most moved by aa incentive of reward, and holding up tbe many promisee of Christ to those who are faithful in good works. Tbe address was a very acceptable one and gave Concord people a first opportu nity of bearing this young minister. This evening's address will tiraw many for the simple reason that Dr, H. L Smith ia tbe speaker. Here is a man one never tires of and no matter what his theme he always gives masterly handling and pleaeesv While the subject of this evening's address is not known at this hoar h makes no difference, for knowing the man as Concord people do it is as sured that Dr. Smith's address will be worth hearing. ' "W- The speaker for Thursday evening, as haa been announced, is former gov ernor M. F. Ansel. . On Friday even ing Rev. W. B.

Mr. Joe Smith Makes One That Works 81x Days and Kasta on the Sabbath. Tbe Knoxville Sentinel a few days ago contained an article giving a de scription of wonderful clock made in that eity by Prof. Joseph A. Smith, who is a eon of Mr. J. M. Smith, of Concord, and waa bora and reared here. Tbe article is aa follows: A time piece that observes tbe Ssb bath ia the invention of a KnoxviR man. . It ia-in service at the Univer sity of Tennessee, aa a "program clock." - It ia not duplicated in an other time piece in the world, frol. J. A. Smith, superintendent of the .mechanical department of the Knoxville High school is the investor. It was constructed over a year ago, and for twelve months has been in ser vice, giving perfect satisfaction, and never varying over five or six seconds within a month. - Working six days in ths week, and resting on the seventh, this time piece k among the most wonderful in the world, : It halt elicited many curious inquiries from every part of the world; and at Washington its patent, in the name of Prof. Smith, gives it as one of the "freaks" of tbe mechanical world." - - . H-Ihe clock is mechanical and . not electrieaL thus adding to its wonder ful construction and to its position as a "freak" of -the mechanical world. Necessity haa been the mother of all great and nearly all . inventions. Such a clock was needed at the uni versity about eighteen months ago, The cost of a "program clock" used generally for the purpose required of it at the university, ranges from $430 to $1,800. Before an order waa placed for one of this type, Prof. Smith was ealed in. After ascertaining the needs for eueh a clock, and the duties, etc.,' he set to work on the plana of one of bis own make, and these plans ulti mately resulted in the introduction of tbe patent. , -. a Many said the scheme could not be carried to perfection. Prof. Smith said it could, and so backed by his own confidence and courage, he set to work Brass waa Used in the construction entirely, ' From the hands. o the clock wniSB r similar to those o&sy r dinary clock, to tbe finest hai-yroring", irt was constructed wf1"- In theeonstraotion of the lime piece Prof . Smith-drew from various wpes of time pieces., Hence iiNproviding the means of operation he took the weight system from the old English tvne. A weight agrregatings 200 sounds being attached. Aa it is low ered the clock unwinds and - as the springs; are unwound, the .operation of the clock, is earned on. Much fun has been enjoyed among the student body, from the strange mechanism of the clock which makes it rest on Sunday. Hence it ia termed a "religious" clock, working only six days and resting the seventh, ac cording to. the preeepts,of the Holy Bible. -v w " Z-J-:vi'; :! tt IT'S -f QUUTIOft or 'sAnrr-onN i CHtCKlKO VCCOONT WITH TBB MONlt rov USD arses. , Mt to ntri on HANDIOBT D&Alt v ' DAILT TUt AMOUN1 II rt IT'I 'Jl HOVttHOLD ACCOUNT OK OH , SOTWSWJWMM CONCORD NATIONAL BANK Capital flOO.OOQ Surplus f3P Per - Cent Interest Paid on Time Deposits. t ' , ia busineu ,i'Jte who It encourages economy, ' establishes your credit, makes Bendine money; away or paying bills : with : Clieck easy, f besides safeguarding your cash, ; .

The dock runa eight days sad eight boors sad ia wound after tbe old fash ion alocka of a hundred years ago, by simply drawing the weights to the top of tbe clock. This constitutes the only attention needed and after once wound it runs over a week. ' Its work begina at 7 5 ia the morn ing and continues until 6 o'clock ia the afternoon ringing gongs ia every building on "the hill," about twelve ra number. It not only rings hourly hbella.biit at intervals ako.. Hence threw gongs are sounded a few ann ates, before 0 o'clock, thecour ehspel exercises, and at 9:15 when the exer cises are concluded. ' But while the clock works six davs ia the week, its work on Saturday va nee irom tne preceding nvs days. Rq chapel gong is sounded and the day's worn is concluded on Saturday at I o'clock instead of 9, aa on tbe preced ingvaoays.v - fori months were reauired bv Prof. Smiih in constructing the clock. The fine hair springs and delicate wheels weremade perfect, from a mechanical viewpoint, not varying over .0001 of an inch.

') Prof, Smith, the inventor is now" in charge of the mechanical department of tbe Knoxville High School and is njakiug it one of the best mechanical adjuncts to any high school in the statet Previous to his connection with the high school he held at similar no- sition at the University of Tennessee lor eight years, taking that position after holding that of master mechanic for the William J.

Expert medical men testified for the government that coca-cola contained much caffeine a poison and is a hurtful and danger ous drink. Other expert medical men are now testifying that - eoea-cola isn't dangerous at all; that it con tains no more caffeine than tea or coffee and that caffeine isn't a-habit forming drug. Dr. Victor C. Vangh an, of the University of Michigan, was one of the witnesses. He had ex perimented on guinea pigs with caf feine and couldn't see that it hurt the pigs. Two of the pigs that had taken caffeine died but one died that had taken no caffeine. Gets Bis Leg Broke.
