[onday, February 7,1927 Long Replies To Comment On •Sermon About Luncheon Clubs Statesville, Feb. s.—Rev. Mae Ke n |t- l-'Ong. president of the North < aroliun Rible longue, who in a ser mon last Sunday quoted by The Char lotte Observer ns having consigned s.’ivic clubs to the regions of eternal darkness, his remarks creating a state wide sensation, made his first explana tion his afternoon in his home paper —The Statesville Daily. Mr. Long’s statement, which is giv below in full, was made in response an editorial appearing in The Statesville Daily, Thursday after noon, in which it was suggested that |’he should state just what he did say in the Charlotte sermon with refer ence to civic elubs.” “To the Editor: “I have read your editorial in The Daily of this date, the 3rd, ‘Mr. Long and the patters,’ I take pleasure in .giving your paper the following state “ Following the sensational report ,ot my Sunday afternoon sermon, in The Charlotte Observer of the 31st, 1 was not nverse to making a state ment to the Charlotte papers, but 1 Regret that the man who phoned me a formal statement upon my re turn to Statesville was the same re- Iporler who had 'written me up.’ Tin der the circumstances it. was hut bint lira) that 1 desired different re portorial ventilation' at a critical time.

The reporter got the closing 1 statements of!my 29th sermon in a aeries of 30. Certainly he made no reference to the. good done by any of the preceding sermons, or by this one. The rejfcrteF-taWr nffirniW “Ant Tie took ‘fun notes’ in order to quote me correctly and accurately. What does he mean by full notes? The whole Sermon? If so, he is a liberty to re produce the deliverance if he can find a paper which will furnish him apace. This same paper took Mr. Sunday’s sermons in .toto in 1923. I believe that Mr. Sunday made many ‘shrap nel’-like remarks in Charlotte, and hewed close ahd unsparingly to the line.

There is n vast difference, how ever, in making it apiiear that I made all -civic clubs, ‘clubs of the devil’ and heaping sonorfic damnation on them wholesale, anil in waruig people of a perversion of them. This difference the reporter did not, and I believe, would not see. I trust that I do him no injustice. And I must add that I believe the system which encottrnges sensation gathering is more blnmable thaw the instrument that it uses. “Inside Remarks.” “I cheerfully admit, that I paid my respects to ecclesiastical coxcombs, who are trying to evolutionize the church and make it a sociological ex periment station. To the theologian, that is au ‘'inside" remark aud has no bearing on civic clubs. Why, quote It then? The reporter makes it appear that I assailed ail of clubdom in vul-. gar and mordant language. He as sures the Charlotte public that I launcher) the terms, ‘liars, sycophant; and coward' upon my hearers. Alas, he makes me such a Boanerges that it-’ is impossible for be to act'the Barna bas. Bug it is generally conceded that where people deploy behind the shield of a good conscience,;that they need not fear,, even the thrusts of a Boanerges. I am confident that most: of the -people in the church were en-; titled t<> full exempting. And assured-j ly, the pulpit if it gets too warm can, oe countered by the press. “I ani glad to add that I was bid to two civic clubs here before I re moved to Macon, Georgia. I declined! inly because of circumstances. “I was for a year and more n mem ber of the Exchange elub in Macon., The most remarkable conversion 1 ever witnessed came one night in my Macon , church. The subject of it, a member of my club, is now one of my best,, friends, and the head of a big business, firm. “Surely this is an age when men; must adjust civic activity to spiritual obligation. And, if I now think,and! I do, that many fail to make such aud adjustment, I would only be on consistent to maintain it both now and in the future.

I shelled the woods; ion religious abuses without return, but one flash in the pan on civic clubs, and 10, it would take an auditor to tabulate the explanatory seances,’ though I did not and never will criti-, eise the beuevolent services of any civic club. I leave it to the clergyman who attacked me, so pitying to say, whether a man's, church obligation is on a' parish civic relations, Mgt “Kaise Ideas." “Mr. Editor, you utter a notable thing when you say ‘There hag come a generation of newspaper reporters who have imbibed false ideas of correct journalistic work, chief of which is that something must be done to at tract attention.' “Journalism is too great a craft to be disgraced by stymphalians, drop ping the poisoned plume of malice on the very men .who support it, and its highest ideals.

COBB Today we have two books for re view and then we will £ive the 're mainder of the column to seeing something of the authors of today and also see some of thp new books that the publishing houses of the country have promised us. The Pacer. (By Viola Paradise) Published at New York by E. P. Dutton & Company. Often when reading books and studying them for review the words “not” and “no" come to our mind. There have been many novels during the last few months which can be commented on only in negatives, and it is to that very large class that wc would put Viola Paradise’s book, “The Pacer." The story is not ent'rely uninter esting. though it drags heavily to-; ward the end; it is not badly writ ten, though the style is without any! special beauty- or distinction; its; characters are not altogether wooden.; but. they are not real enough to make the reader care particularly what does or does not become of them. In! abort, the book belongs to the vast majority of the mediocre, as some one has said, “the novels too bad for a blessing, too good for a curse.” The theme ; s the over-worked one of a triangle, the heroine and central, character is Judith Hazlett who had. been brought up by a dressmaker. Miss Tibbets. She called Miss Tib-' bits “Aunt Carrie,” though they were, apparently not related. Aunt Carrie was a good but not, very successful dressmaker. However, she managed to save a little money, and planned to send Judith to the University. But when Judith was 1C Aunt Carrie be came ill, so very ill that a serious op eration was necessary, making it im possible for Aunt Carrie to go on, with her and forcing Judith to! do what she could’ to earn some mon ey. Judith evidently didn't have much faith in her abilities so she be came a “pacer” in n pickle factory, and after two years married the own er of the factory, Joe Gunner. Here is where we use “not” again—Joe! was apparently “head-over-heels” in love with Judith but we must say he, was not quite human. He was very’ good to Judith and was possessed; with the disposition of an angel and the character of a saint. However, Judith was not,in love with him. qnd after a while she become desperately enamoured of a poet, and there was a great deni of trouble and, of course, the usual amount of talk, and any amount of letter writing, and any amount of anguish, in fact it was so much of all that the reader is not in terested in it and wonders whether or not it was necessary to take up near ly one-third of the" book with the stuff. The scene is laid in Chicago, and manyyof the characters arc students at - University wliiqh Judith Wai able to attend after her marriage. For, having acquired, at the same time she acquired the model husband, one of those marvelous servants so num erous in fiction—and so vM-y scarce in 'ife—who s ! mply adore taking care of the baby besides doing all of the cook ing, Judith was able to use her time very much as she pleased. The best drawn people in the book are Ed and Aggie, Joe's brother-in law and eld»r sister, but they disap pear only too quickly from t lie pages of the story. Aunt Carrie at times is almost amusing, but after a time her talk gets a bit tiresome. The publ-shec did 11 it say so but <ve believe this is a first novel. Tar. (By Sherwood Anderson > Published in New York by Boni and Liveright Co. Although this book is several months old we want to pass on a review of it for your consideration. This review iB taken from an issue of the New York Times ‘and Is the conclusion that the book reviewers of The Times came to in regard to this book. The review is as follows: “There may be other writers on the American scene possessing profound er intuitions and greater technical skill, but it is difficult to think of one -f them as tjie author of ‘Tar.’ The book Is purely Sherwood Anderson at his freest and least strained. He is involved with his subject; it is a part and parcel of himself; it becomes, in a last consideration, the recreation of a fancy that began in reality. It is also a quiet book, and this does not mean that the surface is not agitated by ripples. The ripples are there but they are rhythmical and they are held in restraint. It is. in fact, a book that is plainly the result of brooding, and though there is passion of a sort in it this passion is almost sonbterranean. It is the mysterious undertow that crawls below the sur face of ’Tar'. It Is a book in which the scene is dimmed by; distance, the book of a far-away childhood in a far away Ohio town in a fak-away era. A faint quaintness flows through the pe riod. And yet one can hardly say why this is so or point to any obvious examples of it. It is the atmosphere in toto occasioned probably by a sen sit've story teller feeling into the in exhaustible sack of his stored impres sions and drawing forth material that time has translated, as only time can, into the realm of fancy.” Rex Beach, Harper and Bros, in form us, has sold his house at Ards ley-on-the-Hudson and has gone to Florida for the rest of the winter. The Ardsley place comprised about ten acres of ground, with a house containing thirty rooms and seven baths, besides a gardener’s cotthge and a garage with chauffeur's quar ters. We can see from the descrip tion that the sale of books “or some thing” made considerable money for this popular author and yet we don't blame him for selling it for a man with a bouse that size would be ex- Ipeoted to throw house parties at fre- Iquent intervals and those things run linto big money these days.

According to a statement made by William Toxey, county engineer, all work so far done on roads controlled by the board of revenue can be direct y traced to the installation of trac tors, scrapprs and a gasoline shovel, the first purchase of any road machine having been made two years ago. Perhaps the outstanding feature of the work done by Tuscaloosa county is the comparison between the effi ! ciency and cost of operating modern machinery and work done by the use of mule teams. Today, in addition to two caterpil lar tractors and a few others of light er type, Bussell graders and the motor operated shovel, Tuscaloosa county works many of the narrower highways ■ with mule teams, three convict gangs, each supplied with teu mules, being employed on such roads. The total cost of operating the high- 1 way department of Tuscaloiwa county i s approximately $4,300 monthly, this ncluding feeding, guarding anil, cloth ing convicts, as well as hiring convicts from Lafayette county. According to figures obtained from the county records, it is estimated that over half the monthly expenditure is for the upkeep and operation of work • on roads worked by mule teams,, less ; than one-eighth of the entire county road system. \ ' Tractors of thq caterpillar type are used, together with motor trucks and Russell graders. This particular branch of the business, according to Mr. Toxey, is maintained at less thin the cost of keeping ih operation one of 1 the mule camps. The county ip crossed and counter crossed by a network of excellent roads, all of these being duq to the work of Probate Judge Woosley Fin nell, Engineer Toxey and County Com missioners W. H. Clements, J. H. Shepherd su'd John B. Taylor.

Feb. C.—Thomas Jonathan Jackson, known to readers j of history as the immortal “Stone- 1 wall" Jackson, and hero of many bat- 1 tics in the War between the States, | was indirectly connected with David- ] son College, and if tradition is,con-! sidered, he was directly connected I with the Presbyterian Institution. The former is historically correct. His iudjrect connection with the | collge was through ftis second mar riage with Miss Mary Anna Morrison, I whose father was Kev. R. H. Morri- i son. I). D., first president of Davidson | College, which received its inception in 1837. Mrs. Jackson published a history of the life of her husband kuwy years ago. and this is the source xis the authentic information. In speaking of the life of her father in its relationship to Davidson, Mrs. Jackson says that he, “Rev. Dr. R. H. Morrison, a Presbyterian minister.! had in his earlier days been- a pastor in towns, and was the first president of Davidson College, in Xorth Caro lina,” followed by the statement that Dr. Morrison had been a graduate 'of the I'niversity of North' Carolina in 1818 “in a class with President Polk. Rishop Green, of Mississippi, and sev eral other men of eminence in the church and state." Before Mrs. Jackson wrote her his tory, her pastor had paid a double tribute to her father and to Davidson, with questions usked in regard to the futurp of the institution. Her pastor wrote.- “Davidson College, of which he was founder, has risen to eminence among the institutions of America, its high standard commands the res pect of the whole country, whilst the morul influences which govern and surround it are unsurpassed. Dur ing the fifty-two years of its exist ence, it has given to the two hundred ministers of the gosjiel. Who is able to compute the sum total of blessing accruing from this one source alone? Who is able to mea sure its influence for good through all coming time? And who is able to estimate the indebtedness of society, the state and the church to its noble founder? Davidson College is his monument, for which generations yet unborn will rise up and bless the name of Dr. Robert Hall Morrison.” When the alumni catalogue of Dav idson was issued in 1024, it revealed, the fulfillment of the prophecy of the unnamed pastor, who paid "a tribute to its founder and incidentally tp the institution and the ideals and princi ples inculcated within it.. Up to, the number of Davidson College stu dents entering the ministry had'trip- 1 led those who had gone into this profession 52 years after it was founded* for 638 students bf David son had chosen the ministry for their life profession! That hap now well advanced, beyond the 700 mkrk in- the last two years, which is. indicative of the remarkable good that has al ready accrued and will 'continue to do so. j The final answers; to the questions asked by this pastor still remain unanswered 'because of the years of service that are yet before Davidson. Another Connection. Miss Morrison, the latter’s father “could not trust his emotional nature enough to marry any of his daugh ters,” said Mrs. Jackson in her his tory, and so the ceremony “was per formed by a favorite old ministerial friend of mine,.
