number of complaints that new sub

to all concerned.
Ton have four days left in which
to win the special prises of $5 -gold

extra effort, a litiW close application,

which may possibly be offered a the

There still remains plenty of time
for others to enter this race and win
one of the grand prises, -but it is not
advisable to put the matter off too
long. Better start now, get in toneh
immediately, with all of your relatives,
mends and acquaintances, get tbeir
subscriptions or a promise of a sub
scription later on if it Te not conve
nient for them to subscribe at once;
Organise a nice little: campaign for
your favorite, get your friends to take
out subscription books anoV'see their
friends.
If you have started in this race you
are in it to win, of coarse. In justice
to the friends who are interested in
the welfare of yoar baby and are east
ing' ballots in his or her favor, yon
should not hesitate a. single moment
but should throw yourself into the
fray determined to win.

the precision of a well oiled machine.

"Tba Soah has been abused for
mob riots; it hss been called ibe spirit
of barbarism. Any man who has ever I
raauaea oia racial oignny, pnae ana
eharscter bas been insulted; any man
who hss ever experienced the burning
tire of resentment for such an insult
knows that his feeling is something!
deeper than custom, eentimeni or lack I

Rt Rev. J. C. Kilgo, Methodist
Episcopal Bishop of North Csrolins,
BPk thu V on ''s9nth
era Ideals in tbe Religious Life of
Our Country," at the massmeoting
lssi night in the Mount Vernon Place
Church.
Tbe South is sometimes called sec
tional, but there is no more section-
alised locality than New England and
no more provincial city in tbo Union
than Boston. Tbe South is charged
with bigotry in defense of its racial
character. That is untrue. The South
will never yield its blood, never sur
render its Anglo-Saxon instincts.'
"Some of our critics would break
down the barriers between barbarism
snd savagery and civilization and cul
ture, and would sacrifice ihe progress
of 1,000 years to gratify a sectional
creed. We are called conservative
and sluggish, but history denies that.
Too many first bullets were fired in
the South and ton many bullets un
sheathed there. The South has never
larked the spirit of defense or of ter
rible aggression."
The meeting was held in the inter
est of the Church Extension Society,
with the object of arousing interest in
the projected representative church
of the denomination to be built in
Washington by Methodists through
out the United States. Practically all
the, bishops of the Southern States
were present, Rt. Rev. Alpheus W.
Wilson, of Baltimore, the oldest
bishop in tbe conference, presiding.

race is ended. I shall begin my ac-1
tive campaign a little later. The peo
ple or tbe stste wsnt, and are entitled
to an off year.
Mr. Newland spoke kindly of Locke
Craig, of sheville, who is in the race. "It would be to much to say that
"Mr. Craig had not a stronger sup- we have any intention of throwing
porter than I at the Charlotte conveu-: into the scrap heap all of the expen
tion." I have nothing to say against sive third rail equipment recently in
him. As far as I am concerned I shall stalled on the system," said a repre-
ruu my campaign upon a high plane, ,
appealing to my friends to support my
candidacy. I do not desire to stir up
any harsh feelings and expect to have
a conference with Mr. Craig shortly
when I plan to tell him how I feel in
the matter."
It was suggested to Mr. Newland
that probably the people would find
amusement enough in the senatorial '
fight, and to this he replied: "Yes,
that will probably furnish them
enough."
He ssid he did not know of any one,
else being in the race, and he.
thought it looked very much like lie
and the Asheville man would have the '
field. There is no telling what will
break loose, but unless the senatorial
cyclone digs pitfalls for the guberna
torial aspirants the racgjvill be a mild '
one indeed. There is nothing at this
stage of the game ihat sounds like a
Julian S. Carr or Charles W. Tillett
boom; such a thing would be born
only in an emergency by 'ihe Kiichin
forces. The emergency may or may
not arise time can only tell.

many of the branch lines. Among
these, probably, would be the trolley
