ELECTION FIGHT SEEMS CERTAINTY NOW Mrs. Anthony Cook to Have Opposi tion. Thus Defeating Plans of Her Friends. The following news article from a Washington paper of March 22nd, will be read with Interest in Concord especia ly among members of the Daughters of the American Revolu ti< n: Plans of influential members of the Daughters of tSie American Revolu tion to have Mrs. Anthony Wayne Cook succeed herself as president gen eral through the absence of any can didate, seemingly are upset with the annual Continental Congress, a little more than a month off. Until the early part of last week it appeared the stage was all set, but suddenly Mrs. Charles White Nash, of New York, announced her candi dacy, thus upsetting what had become an unprecedented situation within D. A. R. circles. In addition another candidate is being groomed in the person of Mrs. G. W. W. Hangar, of this cite, who was the unsuccess ful opponent of Mi's. Cook at the last wretion; three years ago. Under the society’s constitution, ,a president general may not succgpd herself unless there is no other can didate presented to the congress. And then the incumbent may only remain in office until a new president gen eral and officers could be found. During the past year, said by members of the society to" have been the most peaceful in the many turbu lent years of the past, all indications pointed to a concerted effort to keep candidates out of the field so the way would be open for Mrs. Cook to re main long enough to finish work un dertaken under her administration. She has been called one of the. most popular president generals ever to hold office. As an alternative to this plan, it was suggested that an amendment be presented to the constitution at the gathering next monthepermitting the re-election of a president general. This would have necessitated presen tation of the proposed amendment sixty days before the congress meets. I and the time was allowed to go by when Mrs. Cook frowned upon t'.ie idea on the ground that a precedent would be set which might prove an embarrassment later. On top of this Sirs. Nash’s last minute candidacy came along and present indications are that the usual spirited electioneering will occur. Birth Announcement. Mr. and Sirs. John Graham Webb, of Hillsboro, X.

Their entire repertoire with the exception of the classics and some negro spirituals has been arranged by French and English composers. Many of the great com posers of Europe, Cyril Scott, John Ireland, Herbert Hughes, Matcoine Davidson, Sir Edward Elgar, Six Richard Terry, Reynaldo Hahn, Henri Block, Anthony Bernard, Amherst Webber, Clarence Olmsteml, John Hyatt Brewer, Charles Gilbert Spross.

Many took their stand for Christ and for better living. The church seems very much Interested in the meeting and it seems that the whole member ship shall be quickened in interest and aetivitis.

I All are highly pleased with the I work of Mr. Furman Betts, as music al director. He has a winning per sonality, is getting music out of the i people, and charming the folks with | his beautiful solos. Monday night Mr. Trueblood I preached on: “Diamonds In The 1 Hough.” His text was taken from j John 1:52, based upon these five words: “Thou Art—Thou Shalt Be.” The pastor pointed to the fact that Jesus was dealing with Simon Peter. Andrew, Simon's brother, had just brought Simon to Jesus. Jesus be held hipi and addressed him iu the words of the text: “Thou art”—just Simon, a sinner, a mere diamond in the rought; but “Thou sbalt be.” Cephas, which signifies strength, character, stability. The pastor directed his hearers to the three-fold fact that Jesus f saw Simon, first, just as he was—a rough, uncouth, unlettered, rude, fickle, pro fane fieshermnn. “Thou art," wicked Simon. Second, Jesus saw some good in Simon. He saw his pent-up energy, his spirit of industry; Jesus saw him making an honest living for his family. The Lord saw not only the bad in Simon, but also the good. But, thirdly, Christ saw not only the bad and the good, but He saw the best. He saw Simon as he might be, through the power of Christ. “Thou shalt be.” Jesus saw all his hidden talents, wonderful possibilities, unrevealed potentialities. Jesus saw in his recklessness, his. sw-aggering, his boasting, his tempestousness, fit ness for discipleship, and our Savior sought to transform those unbridled emotions into an unshaken rock of faith and courage. “Thou are— thou shalt be.” Yes. Christ saw in Peter cowardice turned into courage, fickleness turned into stability, ig norance turned into knowledge, sel fishness turned into sacrifice, profan ity turned into preaching, from catch ing fish to catching men, a traitor turned into a martyr, and finally crucified with his head down. “Thou are—thou shalt be.” “Thou art” merely Simon, a rough diamond. “Thou shalt be” a glittering “service star” to adorn the diadem of Christ. The paster pleaded with his people to site the world through the eyes of Jesus—to see people not only as they arc, with all their faults, but to look for the good, and the best—to see folks as they might be through the re demptive power of Christ. In order to bring forth diamonds from the rough, Mr. Trueblood stat ed, the following necessary qualifica tions : humility, tactfulness, persist ency, and a deep sense of our respon sibility to the unsaved. The entire service was most inspir ing, and although the pastor address ed his remarks directly to the church people, three splendid young men c»mo forward and made beautiful profes sions of faith. Indeed, the whole service seemed to be charged with spiritual power. Another service will be held tonight, starting promptly at 7:30 o’clock. Come early, don’t miss the song service. CHURCH REPORTER. SIN SUBJECT OF NIGHT SERMON AT REVIVAL HERE Rev. R. M. Courtney Says Sin Is the Problem That Evory One Musi Face Soroj Time in Life. The revival meeting at Central Methodist Church continues with good interest. The sermon Monday night was on the subject of sin. The pastor said that the problem of sin is the great problem of the human race and the problem with which every man must deal sooner cr later. The first part of the sermon dealt with the question, “What is sin?" The Bible answer to this question was giv en : “Sin is the transgression of the law.” “All unrighteousness sin.” “Whatsoever is net of faith is sin." "He that knoweth to do good and doeth it not, to him it is sin." Here is Gcd’s fourfold answer to the ques tion, “what is sin?". The nature of sin was discussed. It was pointed out that sin is destructive; that it destroys the best possessions that God has given to men. Sin de stroys man's fellowship with God. It destroys his pears', his joy and his hopes. Sin wrecks and ruins the home, the most sacred institution in the land. Sin is also degrading. It never elevates character. it drags men and women down always. Some times it reaches up to the highest po sitions that men occupy and drugs men down to the level of brutes. It is also deceitful. In conclusion, Mr. Courtney called attention to the fact that sin may be forgiven. He told the story of the 'old man who took his stand on the words, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteous ness.” Real Religion. Charlotte Observer. An example of what might be call ed the practical in sermonizing was dcvcopcd at the Frst Baptist church, Sunday morning, when Doc tor Little wove the thread of religion through the circumstance of James B. Duke and the Catawba River, cir cumstance out of which healing and comfort hus come to bless the people as the uges roll by. The greut beauty übout the Duke benefaction is that it is not only enduring, but cumulative as time passes. “Why, you've just had your vaca tion,”'he was reminded.- "What do you want the extra time for?" "I want to get married.” “But why couldn't you have ar ranged to get married while you were away?” NO OFFICIAL REPORT FROM RECENT PRIMARY Delegates Elected to County Conven tion at Republican Primary Not Yet Known. No official reports have been receiv ed from the Republican primary held in the county Saturday. The primary was held for the pur pose of electing delegates to the coun ty convention to be held here Satur day but results of the primary have not been officially reported to H. S. Williams, chairman of the county ex ecutive committee. It is probable that the delegates elected in the primary will not be known until the convention meets. At I that time the accredited delegates are expected to answer the roll call of I the various voting precincts. It is not possible to tell now. it is I said, the number of votes cast in the primary. It is reported, however, that i as is usually the case, only a few voles were cast, as primaries in Cabarrus as the rule, da not create much in terest. especially when tlfey are for the purpose of electing delegates to the county convention. The convention's most important work will be the election of a chair man to succeed Mr. Williams who re signed several weeks ago. Delegates to the State, Congressional, senator ial and judicial conventions also are to be chosen at the convention. ANOTHER ARREST IN STANLY CRIME Mack Lawrence Implicated by John Gray in Killing of "Dad" Watkins. ' Albemarle, Mar. 28—Mack Law rence who is said to have married a cousin of John Gray, was arrested and placed in jail here about mid night last night* having oeeu im plicated by John Gray as one of the perpetrators of the murder of "Dad ; Watkins." This is the fourth man 'now implicated in this terrible crime, the others being John Gray, Carl Sweat and Theodore Gray the two former being held without bail while .Theodore Gray is out on bond. j John Gray now says in a sworn statement which he made to the of ficers here last night, that Mack Ini wren re is the man who actually struck the first fatal blow which sniffed out the life of "Dad" Wat kins, that after Lawrence had struck | the first blow, he, John Gray, then I hit old "Dad" two times with a big i stick and that after their victim was 1 dead he, John Gray, Carl Sweat and Mack Lawrence cut off the head and arms of The old fellow and later un dertook to burn the mutilated form in the old barn. The head and arms were later, according to John Gray, tiirned over to Theodore Gray who he charged burned them in the fur nace of Wiscassett school - building where Theodore was and is acting as janitor for the school. Theodore Gray upon the preliminary hearing was bound over to court but was allowed to give bail, O. D. Ritchie, superintendent of the school, furnish ed the bail. Theodore Gray has been consider ed as a harmless sort of fellow and his friends refuse to believe that he had anything to do with the awful deed of killing Watkins nud muti lating the body. Slack Lawrence, the last one to be arrested in connection with this murder, is a man of about 35 years of age and hits a wife and several children. It appears that all the per sons now involved in this one of the most revolting crimes ever known to happen in this county, are recent comers to Albemarle, they all, it is stated having come here from South Carolina. The officers are especially diligent in bringing these criminals to justice in order to erase some of the shame that has come to tne coun ty. Criminal court begins here to morrow and it is expected that the most of these people charged with these crimes will be given a hearing during the coming week, and these, together with the Cranford case which is the case growing out of charges by the State Welfare De partment against Cranford of killing two or three convicts, will hold the stage in this county during the com ing week and will attract attention throughout the State.
