The purpose of this campaign is to have every member of the church do person al work for the Saviour and hence j the slogan : “Every member a work j cr” has been adopted.

Yarborough, Sr., F. L. Mon tooth and E. B.

I Kannapolis, June 23.—The Kan-' j napolis Towelers shattered two Char- : lotte Observer pitchers yesterday for 1 13 hits and registered their seventh victory of the season by a shutout, 13 to 0. The Observer twirlers were wild,' presenting seven free slips to first base, which contributed to the local cause considerably. The homelings took all kinds of il legal liberties with the slant of Pitch-: cr Shelby, scoring eight runs in the first frame of the tilt. He was slugged out in the second in favor of “Hurapty” Holman, who fared little better, to say the least. j Red Laird proved remarkably es- [ fective in seven rounds, being so tight- i fisted ns to allow but three biuglcs; hut he was succeeded - in the eighth by ! Shuler Antley, who needed exercise l for the fracas today. Red Irby led the oqslought with a ■ double and two sizzling singles in five excursions to the> tee. As to the ! fielding features, there was nothing spectacular save for the six perfect chances Leftfielder Rogers, of the Newsies, handled. Oscar Donaldson, Toweler receiver, continued to do commendable work, behind the plate while Itussell Lee! briglitened up the afternoon to some -extent with three rather pretty catches.

"I hope at least he will be , more generous. A man who is going , to offer worms to a trout ought any ’ | way to offer a whole one.” I Both these horrified Senators call : eil it highly unethical to use worms. I Isaac Walton admits to catching ■ trout with worms. But later anglers ■ frown upon it.i Richnrd Clapham. ; author of a pftxlern treatise, cal’s if : "rather a coarse performance."

It is a plea for compromise.” [ Compared to that "proud and iso ' lated soiil.” the fly-fisherman, con '. dudes Prof. Perry, the worm-fisher man is "a "low maip, rather than a : high one.” Efirds Purchase Store in Hickory.

Application for Bos Line. The Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel Raleigh, June 23.—0 f vital "inter est to the public of the state and of I even more vital consequence to the railroads and passenger motor bus lines is the hearing before the State Corporation Commission here tomor row of the petition of the Seaboard Aar Line Railway to operate buses ! from its western terminus at Ruther : fordton to Asheville and thus extend i its passenger service from Florida and coastal points through to Asheville. An imposing array of counsel will represent the railroad, headed by W. j L. Stanley, vice president anil general counsel for the Seaboard, and it is ex pected that counsel and officials of other railroads in the state will at tend. Indications are that the petition by the Seaboard will be vigorously opposed by the bus lines in the state, however, and General J. Albert Cox will act as chief counsel for the bus lines in opposing the petition. It is expected that the opposition will con tend that the railroads should not be permitted to extend their train ser vice -by bus over highways built by the state and paid for by the people and thus be allowed to compete on ! a more unequal basis with the bus lilies which operate entirely over the highways. On the other hand, the railways are expected to contend that after buy ing expensive rights of way and lay ing and maintaining extensive track i age, their protits have been reduced to a minimum by the competition on the highways, and that if they are going to be. expected to maintain local passenger train service at all that they must be permitted to operate bus lines ip conjunction with their train ser vice in order to i maintain sufficient faces the necessity of deciding wheth * er .4h£' oarrjers shall he permitted to operate . tthft fti us enter into cOippht(fiftn 4'>th’'pP&ierit bus lines, or whether {h’ejr Tjitift to op erate only, bn their privately owned rights of way. The decision reached, whatever it may be, will have a big bearing on the future of passenger transportation iu the state, and ‘will be eagerly awaited by the "public. Fenner and Beane Cotton I .otter. New Orleans, June 22.—Cotton de veloped periods of strength and easi ness today but prices averaged well oyer yesterday’s close. Sentiment was , reactionary at the start owing to re newed liquidation on July and belief that the weather was improving. Some v selling developed after the weekly re view was issued because it was not as unfavorable as expected. Selling I however proved s'hnrt lived and buying ' increased owing■ to private reports telling of much rainfall in the belt from New Mexico to Georgia. Many Wires came in during the day telling I I of rains in west Texas, southern Texas, the Mississippi valley states and at a few points in the east. The ; forecast indicates somewhat better weather but map readers look for an other period of wet and cooler weath er in a day or two. Weevil reports are coming to market in a steady stream and interior seems to expect heavy damage unless the rains cease. The weather bureau says fields are getting grassy and sunshine is needed everywhere. The crop needs warm dry weather and unless there is a real change in weather, prices ate apt to continue on the upgrade. /FENNER AND BEANE.
