IN AND ABOUT THE CITY ’ PLANNING INSTITUTES FOR SUNDAY SCHOOLS Institutes Will Be Held In Every Township in the County During the Next Two Months. The annual conference of Sunday school workers of the county was held in the First Presbyterian ChurcMiere yesterday afternoon at 3 o’clock. This conference is an annual meeting to take care of the organization of Sun day school work in the entire county. For the past three years Cabarrus county has stood with Rowan and Davie in the “Blue Ribbon*’ class anil it i* the purpose of the Sunday school leaders to see to it t\iat the county shall take no backward step. To hold this high position a 100 per cent, of organized efficiency must be attained, two requirements for attain ing this high mark being to hold an nually for each township a Sunday school convention and also a Sunday school institute. The work just ahead now is the holding of the annual town ship institutes. It was ordered at the conference yesterday that an in stitute be held for each and every township during the month of October and November, the first institute to be held for No. 1 township in the Har risburg church on next Sunday eve ning at 7 :30. Other towqship insti tutes will be announced within a few days. It is now the plan of the work ers to hold two each week until the entire county* has been covered. Special note was made in the con ference yesterday of the absence of. the president, R. P. Benson, who has been ill for the past several weeks. Regards and regrets were unanimous ly extended to Mr. Benson with the hope that lie will soon recover suf ficient to lead the Sunday school work in the county, at the place of leader ship to which he was recently elected. In the absence of Mr. Benson the meeting was presided over by John J. Barnhardt. vice president of the county association. Among other items of business it was ordered yesterday that the next county Sunday school convention shall consist of three sessions instead of two, this being made possible by be ginning on the evening before the reg ular day. It was also ordered that the institutes be conducted in per son or by representative by the four departmental secretaries. This move was deemed wise in order that prac tical and specific Sunday school work may be done at these several meet ings. Those present for the conference yesterday were: J. J. Barnhardt, vice president ; K. L. Hartnell, vice presi dent : F. (*. Niblock. executive com mittee: Sam Black, executive com mittee: I>. 1». Castor, executive com mittee: K. J.

It may be noted in connection with this work that Cabarrus county has had a regular Sunday school associa tion for nearly fifty years, the age of this county's association being al most as old as the great International Sunday School Association, and was easily observed yesterday in the an nual conference of the Sunday school workers that it is the purpose of these workers to make tho present scholas tic year one of the best in the his tory of the county.

MAN MOB WANTED WAS IN MONROE JAIL Negro Taken There From Charlotte; Knew “Cliff” Would Hold Him. Monroe. Sept. 27.—Not three peo ple outside the officers immediately concerned knew that the Asheville negro whom a mob tried to lynch last Saturday night was brought to the Union cuonty jail for safe keeping. He was first rus'.ied to Charlotte, and the mob compelled the Buncombe county sheriff to tell where he had put the prisoner. But on Sunday night the sheriff of Mecklenburg brought him to Monroe and turned him over to Sheriff Fowler. When tile mob stormed the Asheville jail the prisoner was not in it, and had they come on down and stormed the Mecklenburg jail they still would not have found the man they wanted. Members of the mob arc new in the Asheville jail, having beat the prisoner to that institution. Thursday nig’ht the sheriff of Mecklenburg came down and took tljo prisoner back. There was no longer any danger from the mob. for the tables had been so com pletely turned that the mob itself had got in jail, and none of them was able to give bond to get out. Somehow they have a habit of bringing prisoners here for safe keep ing. They seem to think that Cliff will keep them when they are put in his hands. His principles on the subject are simple. He would die in his trapks before lettigg a. mob take a prisoner out of his charge. At the time the Asheville negro was brought here no one supposed that the case would turn out as it did. At tlint time the mob was snorting and threatening the Buncombe sheriff, tuid it was supposed that secrecy was tiie only thing that could save the man. for it was declared that the mob would follow wherever he was taken. Therefore, when- he was brought here tiie matter was a pro found secret. When Sheriff Fowler pur tiie fellow in jail he told him to tell the other prisoners that lie had been picked up on the Charlotte road fur) some offense anil not let them know who he was. And he never let any of his fellow prisoners know. The manuscript of Scott’s Anti quary sold recently for SIO,OOO. It brought S2OO when sold 93 years ago. UVe GALLONS PAINT FREE.

The officials of the Anti-Saloou League of America, so far from chal lenging the report on prohibition made by the research department of the Federal Council of the Churches, characterized that report as a chal lenge to the friends of prohibition to redouble their efforts to enforce the law. The statement of the Anti-Sa loon League follows: i “The report of the research depart-1 meut of the Federal Council of j Churches contains many facts which will challenge the friends of the eigh teenth amendment to action. There is nothing in the report which justi fies the use which the opjmnents of prohibition are making of it to bol ster their claim that prohibition is a falure. The report: itself shows that prohibition has bettered conditions when contrasted with the wet period. “The conditions in 1924 as set forth in this nqiort compared with some other dry years, show losses in some respects and gains in others. But. when any dry year is compared with any wet year, allowing for the popu lation increases, the advantages of prohibition are clear. Frohibition is not required to beat its own record. It does, however, beat the best records of the license period. The tendency of the report is to under-estimate the benefits and over-estimate the weak lire in law enforcement with accom panying bad results, it simply proves hibition to redouble their efforts to en force the law. When the ehtirch was ready to demand prohibition, the eigh teenth amendment and the enforce ment laws were written. When like wise the Church with equal empha sis demands prohibition enforcement, it will be secured. “The Anti-Saloon League believes in pitiless publicity oil liquor law lessness and its attendant evils. This league has now under god headway a joint program of its national and state leagues, effectively to hack up all officials from the President to con stable, in rigid enforcement of the law. “We challenge the majority which wrote the eighteenth amendment into the constitution to continue the tight, arouse public sentiments cure exist ing defects, stop the leaks, and enlist the people for law observance and law enforcement/’ The foregoing appeals to us as a sensible and conservative statement. . igßßEßSßggaasagpq, tiI.TV • COMFORT • CONVENIENCE.

That is to say. the prohibition ists wearied in well-doing. Having secured the lmssage of the law, niuny jof them seem to think the task com plete. In many communities—in | Statesville for one—evidence of drink ing. which disappeared for a time fol lowing the enactment of State-wide prohibition and the zealous efforts to enforce the law, returned, or at least became conseieuous, following a let down in the zeal for law enforce ment. Similar conditions no doubt ex ist generally "When -the Church was ready to demand prohibition the eighteenth amendment and the en forcement laws were written. When likewise the Church with equal em phasis demands prohibition enforce ment, it will be secured,” says the league address, and that is a signifi cant statement. The majority that wrote the eighteenth amendment is challenged to continue the fight for its enforcement. It is simple truth to say that ajarge per cent, of the majority that wrote the eighteenth amendment never expected it to be enforced and had no purpose so aid that is—and are not now. They went along with the procession be cause it was policy to do that. And esese, especially those in high place, have been the weakening forces in the prohibition army. Ostensibly for the law, they are at heart against it. But it is believed that there is more than a sufficiency of the real article, together with all good citizens who fa vor law enforcement as a principal, to make prohibition a success if they, will put their forces is*lend it.
