The subscrip tions reported Friday and today brought the total to a point from which it is possible to see the goal and the workers are confident that after a rest on Sun ‘day they can put the drive over with out delay. C. S. Smart, leader of Division D and one of the hardest and moat successful workers in -the campaign, hit the key note to success in a speech at the Fri day lum he,>n when he deola“Ptsl "the only way to get subscriptions is to go dot ■** '**-*■- jjfg&GWsr-rtte* Mr. Smart has lived np to this slogan and he has made his division members work along with him. In bis speech he challenged the other workers, declaring his division was going to win all of the honors and trophies in the closing days of the campaign. The challenge has been accepted and the workers are prepared to enter the home stretch in a whirlwind drive. Keen rivalry has been created among the work ers and those group leaders -Who win trophies hereafter will know they, have been in a real fight. The total reported on Friday was sur prisingly large -to some. More than $20,- 000 was reported for the day, bringing the grand total to $313,800. The report today swelled the total again and acted as a stimulant for the workers. All of the banks and building and load associations of the eity have en dorsed the hotel project. These bank ing institutions have issued signed state ments declaring if the opinion of tbeir officers that the new hotel will prove a wise investment for the individual and a big boost for the city. The result of this indorsement has been very favorable to the campaign. It is known that a number of persons have subscribed stock since learning that the 1 three banks of the city are unanimous in their support of the hotel. These new subscribers figure correctly that the banks would not sponsor any proposition that had not been carefully investigated and did not offer a safe investment. Again Friday as on Thursday sales men in the campaign spent much time in the county selling stock to farm people. They have been successful in this work to some extent and during the past two days many people from the farms have given their endorsement by taking stock 5n the company. Persons living in Charlotte, Salisbury and other nearby cities are showing keen], ■interest in the local campaign. They , realize that, a new hotel is a necessity I for Concord and they are watching with unusual interest the outcome of the cam paign. Several newspapers of the State have commented in an editorial way on the campaign, advising the people to put the proposition over for the benefit of the city At the luncheon Friday the keen riv alry between the various groups and di visions was very marked. Several of the group leaders who felt they had the largest amount of money to report want ed to make their reports last. They 1 wanted to get the, “goat” after the other leaders had reported. E. L. Hicks and L. T. Hartsell, Jr., had the best reports and the latter’s group won the goat with total subscription of $4,300. ' At the luncheon today subscriptions Amounting to $27,500 were reported, bringing the grand total to $341,300. Thus the workers start the week-end con " fident that the victory is within sight. The attendance at the luncheon was fine today despite the fact that business men of Concord are unusunlly busy on Saturday. This fine attendance is proof enough of the interest being taken by these men who are willing to make sac rifices for the benefit of their city. The singing today also was unusually good. The salesmen, members of the ex ecutive committee and other persons pres ent have caught the spirit of song and this is taken as a healthy sign. Hie man who believes his proposition has little chancy of succeeding cannot sing, and the hearty manner in which every one joined The Concord Daily Tribune ♦ ; I ♦*#•***#***•*****♦ ; # * , * PLAY UP * I $ i * $375,000 needed for Hotel. * I * 341,000 now in 4i I !4( 34,000 needed Monday. & ' * * A T "i 7 A /I'. /K /l\ /T\ /is Its /T\ /is /is /is /is /is 7is 7K i ■ ---.t-t.-. ... ■ MILLION DOLLAR FIRE AT JERSEY CITY FRIDAY It Is Doubtful if the Cause Can Be De termined.—Two City Blocks Razed.

BOBBED HAIR STRIKE IN METHODIST CHURCH Evangelist Culpepper Refers to Them as Bobbed Haired Sissies—Refused to Sing. Washington, Nov. 14.—Several months ago Dr. \V. A. Lambeth came here to accept the pastorate of the Mount Ver non Place M. E. Church, South. A few days ago revival services were started at the church, with Burke Culpepper, a southern evangelist, in charge. The evan gelist sees very little good in “things as they are” and has been saying so in a way that has commanded much space in the local papers. One story, as told by The Star today, is to this effect: “Barbed criticism of the bobbed haired women of the present dn.v generation has bobbed the ranks of the mixed choir at the Mount Vernon Place M. E. Church, South, and welded the bobbed haired member of the choir into a de termined band of strikers against a com parison of the virtues of a bobbed hair versus unshorn locks. “Nettled at a remark made a few days ago by Burke Culpepper, an evangelist, of Memphis, Tenn., when the evangelist referred to the bobbed haired girls of Ihe present day as ‘you bobbed haired sissies.’ many of the female members of the mixed choir have refused to partici pate in the singing of the choir at the revival services. As many as half the female members of the /fioir Jiave refused «i‘¥ois«ng Jo pile .&BJUS'£, wbile Dr. William A. Lambeth, pastor of the church, declares that but two or three have foregone their customary attend ance. “TJhe ’tempest in the teapot’ ns Dr. Lambeth calls it, came after the evange listic service last Sunday when Dr. Cul pepper, after telling the Bible story, turned to the choir and called some of its members ‘you bobbed haired sissies.’ Immediately after the close of the serv ices the women members of the choir held an indignation meeting, the result of which was that many members agreed not to sing in the choir while Dr. Cul pepper was conducting services at the church. "The anger of the girls was brought to the attention of the pastor, »Rov. Dr. Lambeth, who sought to soothe them at the evening service. He told the congre gation of the remark in the morning about ‘bobbed haired sissies’ and then declared: “ ‘We have a lot of bobbed haired girls and a lot of long haired girls in this choir and we sure admire them all. They are the most faithful choir in the city.' “However, the girls refused to be mol lified. Monday night, the first test, found few of them on hand. Tuesday night, likewise, and Wednesday night showed no improvement. Last night it was called to the attention of Rev. Mr. Culpepper. “Sticking to his puns in the face of the angered girls, he opened a new broad side upon bobbed hair last night and quoted scriptural passages to bear out his contention that bobbed hair was not in accordance with the teachings of the Bible. “ ‘l've had a lot of anonymous letters and telephone calls since I expressed my opinion of bobbed hair. All T’ve got to say is if the people who wrote and called up had spent their time praying they’d have a lot mote chance reaching the pearly gates’.” SOCIETY FILES ANSWER TO DR. Dl IA CHARGES N. C.
