Secretary of the Synod, read the re

the live meetings of this Committee
. during the year, all phases of the Syn
odicnl activities were continually snr
veyeil and kept in a progressive state.
The 11 o'clock hour was given ovpr

Dr. C. H. Day called the Synod's at
tention to the growing favor of the
Diaeonate. Three institutions for
maintained for the preparation of
young Indies for special Christian
work. According to Dr. Day, the need
of the world Is to have the in i nisi ra
tions of the Church through particular
works of mercy which the mot,her
house prepares girls to do.
The President, in his report, stated
that fewer vacancies existed in this
Synod at this time than since the met
ger. The encouraging fact is that
each year a larger number of young
men lire preparing themselves for the
ministry. Pour new mission congrega
tions weae organized during the year
Along with this has been shown a wl'd
er vision of the Held by placing Rev.
8. White Rhyne as Eastern Field Alls
- sionnry. His work is tba making it
self felt nnd entertains the assurance
that in n short time three or four con
grcgations will be organized in the
Kastern part of the State. The Pres
ident stated that more than $40,000
hail been given for lienevoleuce during
the year and that about $100,000 was
pledged for local work. This does not
include the amount spent on improve'
tents' nor pledges for schools and col
leges. Fourteen ministers were re
ceived Into the Synod since the last
meeting by transfer und three will be
ordained.
The Synod is preparing to raise,
along with other Synods $850,000 for
relief wrfrk in Europe. Irfist year
about $1,000,000 was raised and ex
ponded in rehabilitation, the establish,
ing and maintaining missions, buying
food and clothing and loans to produce
crops. The Foreign Mission. Board
alftng with this relief committee, will
reopen many of -the mission stations
that nave been caned since tne prose
cut Ion of the war. Conditions are ali
ening t snch an extent that a larger
work seems impelling.
The Rev. E. Fullen wider, of Salis

subject of "Education by the Church
He discussed the following six points

made It plain that fiw the Church t

slated that every Institution within

to the gift of Mr. Rhyne of $300,000,
which was given with the condition

London, Oct. 3(1. Much criticism lias

Washington, Nov. 10 (Capital News
Service). The Compulsory Rdiiention
till, put before Oregon's voters by ini
tiative petition, was passed by a com
fortable majority, in excess of eight
thousand. The provisions of this bill
have lieen much discussed, and also

ing thnt it would close nil private
schools and eliminate all denomina
tional schools.
According to the bill, attendance of
liildren from eight to sixteen years, in
the public schools, , is made compul
sory "for the period of time a public
school shall lie held." There is noth
ing in the bill to prevent children go
ing to other schools at other times.
Children physically unable to attend
school because of being abnormal or
subnormal, children, who have com
pleted the eighth grade, and children
of certain ages who live nt certain
specified distances from the nearest
public school are exempt. Private in
struction in place of public school in

nalion shows Ihe privately taught

By a Vote ot 3 or 4 to 1 State Ticket
Elected by about 84.-000
Brock Burkley in Charlotte Obeserver.
Raleigh, Nov. 15.---Colonel A. D.
Watts today found himself wrong with
his election return tabulations for the
first time in his long career of handl
ing the ni'attheniatical side of polities.
His estimate of two days ago, when
he listed the majority for the Demo
cratic state ticket at 70,000 was 15,000
short.
He thinks the newspaper returns
failed to list the county majorities
as large as they really were, or the re
sults may have, been so unprecedented
that the most mathematical of polit
ical mathematicians found difficulty in
getting the count straight
The colonel s revised, estimate or the
majority, which lie avows is within a
few votes of what the state board of
elections canvass will show, is 84.000.
It may run to 85,000 or it may not get
higher than 83,000, but he is positive
it will be within these figures. That
is seven or eight thousand greater than
the 1920 record majority, whereas the
previous estimate placed the 1022 ma- '
Jority 7,000 below 1920.
The 84,000 majority is for the state
ticket Colonel Watts would not be
surprised to see the majority based on '
the maximum democratic vote in each
county approach a hundred thousand.
Official returns from 79 counties give
the democratic state ticket a majority
of 71,000. The other 21 counties will
give an additional 13,000 or 15,000.
Based on these official returns, the to
tal democratic vote will lie 225,000 and
io republican 141,000.
Seventy-three per cent of the 1920'
democratic voters went out to the polls
the last election day while only 00
per cent of the 1920 republicans turned
out.
