Raleigh, N. t\. March .10.—(yf>)— A "rather distinct dullness” in busi ness in the Fifth Ri-serve District is j observed by the Fifth Federal Re serve Bank, at Richmond, and com , mented upon ill its Monthly Review of businttiH and agricultural condi tions. The March 81 issue of the publication, just received here, was released for publication tonight. The bnnking institution has been nb’.e to find no "definite reason for this reluctant attitude" on the part of business. The Monthly Review names numerous “unfavorable fac tors,” but comments that, despite this, "fundamental conditions appear sound.” February's total volume of busi ness "was probably not much below seasonal average,” it is pointed out, and was above the level of February, 1925. in .some lines, "but trade lack ed the briskness that was plainly visible during the winter, and the business secured had to be worked fur harder than in recent months.” Tlie Review proceeds to a citation of the so-called “unfavorable factors : "Total debits to individual ac counts at clearing house bauks in 23 leading trade centers during the four weeks ended March 10 dropped 4.5 per cent below the total reported for the four weeks ended February 10, which is usually one of the com paratively law points of the year. "Building permits issued during the year were very little above those of January ill number and valua tion, and were considerably below those of February, 1925. "Wholesale trade was not up to seasonal average. Retail trade, while exceeding sightly that of February, 1925. was retarded by unfavorable weather, and department store collections wen* slower than a year ago. Textile mil s did not secure as large a volume of forward orders as prospects at the turn of the year led them to exjiect, and the approach of mild weather had a deterrent effect on business in the coal mining sec tions of West Virginia. "Declining prices for cotton and tobacco a'so exerted a depressing in fluence on trade.” But the publication's observations are not all pressiniistic- "Insolvencies in February in me Fifth District were below* those of February 1925 in both number and liabilities.

Another Honor to Founder of Meth cdlsm Has .lust Been Paid. London, March .'!(>.—The two hun dredth anniversary of the admission of John Wesley to Lincoln college was celebrated at Oxford Sunday, the president of the Wesleyan Conference preaching the sermon in the college Chapel. Another lionor to the mem ory of the founder of Methodism has just been paid by the London County Council, which has placed a tablet on Wesley s House, City Road, where the evangolst lived for 12 years, anil which is now a Wesley Museum. John Wesley was a man of superior education and associations, although his life work was concerned chiefly with the poor. He was the son nf a learned clergyman, Rev, Samuel Wes ley, and he himself was educated, first at the Chaterhouse school in London, and afterwards at Oxford. He ac quired extraordinary proficiency in all kinds of learning, especially in the classics, in logic and theology. At the age of 22 he was ordained deacon, and at 25 presbyter, and tw i years later became his father's curate at Epworth. It was necessary for him to reside at Oxford on account of his appointment there as Creek lecturer and moderator of the classics, and af ter two years of his curacy he re turned there. At that time there was a society of young inen at Ox ford, i who had a common religious purpose, and oa account nf their methodical lives and the strictness of their performance of religions duties they were derisively calied Method ists. Os this society John Wesley be came the head, and his brother Charles served under him. At the age of 32 John, with his brother, Charles, accompanied Ogle thorpe to Georgia. John to be a mis sionary to tlie Indians and Charles to be secretary to the governor mid a clergyman in the colony. This experi ment was a failure, for the colonists would not endure the rigid asceticism of the Wesleys, who returned to England after a year’s experience, rot, however, without 'having left their work in tlie first Sunday School that was established in America, which John Wesley organized in Savannah Two years later in London whither he hail returned John Wesley formed the first Methodist society in Fetter Lane. In the following .summer he went to Germany, and on his return he imitated Whitefield and preached in the fields and in private houses wher ever occasion offerd. He laid the foundation stone of his first chapel in Bristol in 1739, and in November, of the same >ear he purchased an old, foundry in London, and opened it for prehching. From that peri.-l until he close c[ Ui« life he was incessant ly enraged in preaching, in forming societies, governing them, and provid-; ing them with spiritual help. Few clergy. i'n would on operate with him. but the members of lus so cieties increased rapidly in various parts of the kingdom, and bo was led to employ laymen to preach, though not to adui nister the sacraments. He originated and controlled the Wesley* an system of itinerant preaching and spiritual administrat'on, and es'ab lislied the nucleus of the system of lit erary and theological institutions which now obtain among the Method ists. He provided America with an oradined ministry after having sent over Francis Asbury and other ccle b*atod disciples and originated Meth odist episcopacy. It has been well said of him: No man perhaps ever accomplished so much. He rode, chiefly on horseback 5.000 miles and preached 500 sermons every year for nearly 50 years, and had in his societies some SO,OOO mem bors before h : s death. He made much money, but spent it all. North Carolina Stands Seventh In Number of Vehicles Registered. Raleigh.

LON CHANEY LOOKS BACK ON GROWTH OF PICTURES Great Changes Made Slhce the First Days, Especially in Salaries. New York. March 27.— UP) —Dm Chaney looks back to the motion pic ture days when tlie directing staff fi led one automobile with gun pow der and cameras, another with actors, and then took, out for a drive in the country. When the party re turned it usually carried an episode of a serial. "That was how pictures were made in the days of yore.” said Chaney, who today is Metro-Gold wyn's character star. "Five dollars a day was big pay and many a player, who now has reached movie beightß, was glad to get It. Mary Pickford once drew that kind of a cheek; so did Fay Tincher and many another.” Chaney has been through the re* portoire of the lots. He was a “heavy", assistant director, charac ter man and general factotum in the primitive time when thrills photo graphed under the sunlight were the rule and the Kleig light still was a dream. Dancer, director and even stage hand were the role he essayed in the 'cgitimnte theatre before he tried his ’tick before the camera. "We had to depend on sunlight, of course, and such a thing as using a reflector was never heard of,” de clared Chaney. "A script usually was written on the back of an en velope. "And within n few years we nave the great feature picture like 'Ben Hur.' lighting effects such as grace productions like 'The Torrent’ and inrgo studios where every branch of science works out difficult problems. "Tlie much-mooted question of stnis' salaries is another instance of evolution—or rather of getting things down to a business basis. At first salaries were almost nothing. Then came a period of hysteria, when enormous salaries lured stage stars. “De Wolf Hopper. Raymond Hitchcock, William S. Hart, Douglas Fairbanks and many others left the footlights, lured by glittering wealth. Hart and Fairbanks are about the only ones who learned the screen was a different vehicle from the stage— and they stuck. The others, includ ing George Arliss. took a whirl at it and then returned to the footlights. "Those salaries almost caused •bans' in the business end of the in dustry and then business sense be gan to rule. Salaries were adjusted on the basis of what a picture could bring in. Today, salaries are fair; a just percentage of the possibilities of a picture.” THREE LITTLE BOYS IN PERILOUS PLIGHT They Pray All Night After Boat Capsizes in Mid-Stream—Oitf is Finally Drowned. Richmond, Va., March 28.—Cling ing fearfully to a big rock in the .fames riyer for 15 hours after a snmll row boat had capsized in the miijldle of a treacherous stream, three little Richmond boys, their bodies numb from bitter cold, prayed tbroughoht last night only to see one qf .their number slip from the bould er and drown. Becoming delirious, Westley Ellis, 13 years old, met his death when he lpst his grip shortly before 5 o’clock tfeis morning. His two companions, Edward Poll, 12 and Horace Crosby, 13, their legs locked to prevent them from falling off the rock, were res ued a short while after by a party sent out by their parents. They were caddies at the Country club of Virginia, a short distance, and started across Saturday after noon, the boat capsizing when they ware in the middle of the river. When they failed to show up at their homes late Saturday the rescue par ties were sent out, the search ending with the rescue this morning. NO PULLMAN BUSSES ON CAROLINA ROADS Application of Watkins Expected to Be Refused By State Corporation Commission. Raleigh, March 29—Application recently made by W. A. Watkins, local bus operator, for a franchise to run sleeping car busses on overnight trips between Raleigh and Charlotte and Raleigh and Wilmington, is ex pected to be refused by the corpora tion commission. Other operators holding franchises for the regular day runs between those cities have filed protest, and it is understood Mr. Watkins is not now so eager to make the venture as Ue was. He has recently acquired another line. The commission will act formally on the application soon, but the prospects are not immediate for sleeping car busses on the North Carolina highways. The protesting operators have based their objection on the ground that there is as yet no demand for such accommodations. When the demand does develop they will be ready to add the highway pullman services to the regular lines. Solitary Monk Is Remnant of Life In Old City of Anl. Erivan, Russian Armenia, March 27. — (A*) —Ani, an ancient Armenian city, within the shadow of Mount Ararat, probably has the smallest population of any city in the world. Data gathered by the American Near East Relief shows that an aged Armenian monk is the sole inhabi tant of the city, which once had a population of 100,000. His only companions are an Angora ent and- a few owls whitfii live in a ruined church near the monk’s hut. Anie was once a fluorishing city and was the residence for several cen turies of the Bagratide Kings of Ar menia. From the eighth to the tenth century it was under the domination of the Caliphs of Bagdad, among whom was the romantic and scholarly Haroun-al-Rachid, hero of a dozen stories in tie “Arabian Nighth.” But Ani is now In ruins, and the Aremn ians are too poor to rebuild it. It is 600 years since the city throbbed with the pulse of human life. The Greek Church keeps four Lents, which are distributed quarter ly through the year.

"they will not learn their lesson." "The best lesson for them,” Miss Wilson replied, "is the lesson of kindness. I won’t sign a complaint against them. No. They probably be long to a crowd and were not brought up right. They should not be judged as older people who know the difference between right and wrong." The boys were discharged by Magistrate Flood. Miss Wilson shook hands with the two. “I am sure you will go straight, if given the chance," she told them.
