NEGRO DESPERADOES
RESEMBLE THOSE CHARGED
WITH FORD MURDER
LEXINGTON, Nov. 18 Minnie
Dry, negro woman, ia dead and B. A.
Sniplett, Southbound railway conductor,
is suffering from bullet wounds in the
groin and elbow as the result of an at
tempt to take into custody Joe Lowery
and Mangum Scott, negro desperadoes,
at Beeves siding, about 25 mils south of
here late yesterday.
Lowery had been arrested and Ship
lett, who was acting as special officer,
was guarding him while Chief Early and
another officer of Badin were chasing
Scott. The negro advanced on his cap
tor, seized the pistol and shot him twice
and also accidentally shot the Dry wo
man, at whose house they had taken
refuge several hours earlier, the woman
dying this afternoon. A telephone mes
sage late today said Shiplett's wounds
are not expected to prove fatal.
The two negroes entered the barber
shop of a negro named Pearson at Badin
Tuesday night, according to a Badin
officer here today, and one of them asked
Pearson to change a $20 bill. When
lYartou produced a number of bills one
of the negroes grabbed the money and
the other with a pistol held the patrons
of the shop at bay until both could get
away. They secured about $140. Yes
terday afternoon the suspicions of the
conductor on Southbound railway train
63 were aroused by the amount of money
carried by one of the two negroes on
his train and he notified Chief of Po
lice Early of Badin, who was on the
train returning from Greensboro. The
officers went into the negro eoach to in
vestigate. The Lowery negro is said
to have drawn a pistol, but dropped it in
a scuffle with the officers. He jumped
from the front end of live ear, while Scott
ran and'jumped'frbm 'the rear end. The
latter struck his head against an obstacle
and is said to have crushed in a portion
of his skull in front.
Chief Early, Officer Mabry and Con
ductor 8hiplett, who operates the short
tine train between Badin and Whitney,
returning to the vieinity where negroes
lamped firm the train, which was be-
ween Newson and Tuekertowa, points
just north of the Yadkin riser crossing
nto Stanly county. They located the
wo negroes at Minnie Dry's house.
fcott escaped into the woods, but it was
elieved that with .the wound . in his
ikull he eould not make his escape from
he vicinity. Lowery ia reported to have
een seen about 9 o 'clock last night pass
ng northward through a rock cut at Gall
aountaim several miles this side of the
hooting, and was carrying a pistol in
is hand . The night watchman who
:eeps watch at this cut saw the nigro
here.
A rather striking coincidence "is that
he two negroes involved are a large yel
rw negro and a short and rather s-out
lack negro, Scott being the mulatto .nd
orresponds somewhat with the deeerip
on of the two negroes alleged to have
.illed John Ford and assaulted two girl
3mpanions near Gastonia recently',

GYPSY SMITH, JR., BRINGS UP CHURCH.
MEMBERS AND SiKNERS WITH A ROUND TURN
Large Afternoon Audience at First Presbyterian Church Yester
day Clara School Children Attend in a Body No Af
ternoon Services Tomorrow Saturday Night Service For
Women Only For Men Only Again Sunday Aft"
The largest afteruon audience siuce
the meeting began heard Gypsy Smith,
Jr., at the First Presby tt ia'n church
Thursday at 3 o'ebek. Many out-of-town
pastors and people from both Caro
linas wer in attendance. The feature
of this service, aside from the sermon,
was the singing of ' ' Shine ' ' by the chil
dren of the Clrra sthaol who, chaperoned
by Misses Garrison and Edwards, of the
faeulty, attended in a body, and the
singing of "Then I'll Understand" by
Mr. Allen. Kev. B. C. Long, of the West
Avenue Presbyterian church, effered tho
opening prayer. Mr. Smith read the
fifteenth chapter of the first book of
Samupl, using the incomplete obedience
of Pnul a iho theme of his sorijion, "Be
loved, to ofey is bttter than sacrifice,
and to hearken than the fat of rams."
Speaking directly to .fl5cer8 anil mem
bers of the church, Mr.. Smith said that
by their incomplete obedience they were
tying the hands of their pastors in the
work of the church instead of making it
easy for them hy a complete surrender,
from whuh they were being held back
by pride, pleasure and greed and their
lives were being warped. You blame the
church for her hypocrites, why not pick
them cut of business, the lodge or off
the street. When the prophet tobk Saul
to task for his incomplete obedience, the
sheep bleated out his undoing and Saul
blamed his soldiers. You can't blame
the preachers and you can't lay you(
blame at the poor old devil's door for
all your meanness. Blame yourself,
Saul, like many o? you, wanted his own
way. You follow as long as it suits
you to enjoy the music and the ease
but not to Gethsemanq. God is sick of
yonr ablutions without your complete
obedience. You may gain all the world
has to offer and lose Ood and you have
made a rotten bargain. "With an over
flow crowd that filled every nook and cor
ner of the church and ante rooms at
night, Mr. Smith read for a scripture
lesson a portion of the second chapter of
the First Epistl6 of John. Mr. Allen
directed in a most excellent manner the
singing at the night service of choruses
and medleys. Bev. J. W. C. Johnson,
rector of the Episcopal church, offered
the opening prayer. ' Although uncom
fortably packed in, the large crowd was
most attentive and interester throughout
the service.
Mr. Smith took for his text last even
in?, from the second book .f Kires,
second chapter, and the fifth verse: "But
ho was a leper."
Mr. Smith said that all through t3ie
Bible, "eprosy is used as a type of sin.
I don't know just how much there is in
the anology, but it is remarkable when
you study the pathology of the disease
to find how similar leprosy and sin are.
First of all, it is small in its bet-iuninj.
Leprosy sarts with a spot no bigger th;in
n pin's head on the bo.lv, an.l ipr'id
until the body becomes a mass of (Mre,
and then, in the last stages f the dis
ease, the limbs begin to slough oif. Sin
is just the same. It is small in its be
ginning. If the devil could shv us !he
end of sin, he could never get us to take
the first step. And society today takft
no note of the beginning of sin. .It will
welcome the young fellow into their par
lors and let him drink at their tables,
aud then, when society hears that the
jcung fellow is about to become a mui
lerir.g, staggering drunkard, society, h r
rified, rises up and shuts th. do r in his
face. Society takes no note of the be
ginning of sin. It takes no note of the
girl who flirts promiscuously with any
Tom, Dick and Harry, , until her name
becomes an easy mark amon the young
fellows of the town. Society wairs!'nn"!il
it hears that she is about to become the
mother of an illegitimate child, and then
society, horrified, rises ap-and shuts the
door in her face. Sin is small ia its be
ginning, as is leprosy.
Secondly, leprosy separate. Wheat a
person contracts that dreadful disease,
we have to separate him from his loved
ones and banish him for the sake of the
community. And sin always separates.
There is nothing in the world that can
separate husband and wife like sin. There
is nothing in the world that can separate
u young man or a young woman from
lome like sin.
Thirdly, it is absolutely incurable by
man. So is sin. The great rrfedica'
citties of the world wait to wiii3' nnd
dine the man who can prescribe a per
manent cure for leprosy, but as far as
I know, no man has been able to pre
scribe that cure. Sin is als- incurable by
man. Ycu'may try this and that and the
other thing, and yru can rush to the
quacks of the world, but your case ;s
:.bulutcly incurnb'e by man.
- I ha"Ve often thought that I eould se.
Kacman on his horse before the jrre-.t
Syrian triors, and anybody passing
migM have been tempted to say, "How
unequally Providence seems to divide her
favors." Hera is this great captain,
wih prestige fame, position, m-ney, and
everything that seems possible to make
a man happy. And here is another who
I
has nothing. - But the meanest beggar in
tho city of Damascus would not change
! daces with Naaman because he was a
epc.
I have sometimes thought I could
hear him give that famous command to
seme of his troops, telling them to go
out and raid the Israelites, aD l thni I
have imagined I could see that iittl
Jewish home on the side of 'he hill, uiih
the father and mother and daughter re
tiring for the night. An I :if:e- :-,ey
have got to sleep, beijrf awatem. I iy tho
rough sho'jts and curses of t'.u 'lievs
who break into the house an.l tear every
thing open on the main !lwr, an I, n V
fin-r'ng what their henr, i "hey '.
: rtairs and turu the u'cup.'it's out t.f
bed and drive them down the stairs ahead
of them. And after they turn every
thing over up stairs they come down
disgusted becuuse they have not found
the loot that their heart was nf.er, and,
afraid to go back to the camp without
anything, they take the daughter and
put her on horse-back, and in the early
morning return to camp.
I have s metimes thought I could see
these soldiers coining out to meet them
and saying, "Well, what luck!" and,
finding that all they have taken for the
night's work is a little girl, they begin to
jeer and say, "Is that all you could dot
All your equippage for a little girl. All
your training and exi-nse of keeping up
this army, and is that all you have got!"
Rut the Syrian army little knew that the
little maid was going to bring a blessing
to the whol of that country.
I have imagined I could see her taken
into the humblest position ia the palace
and have watched her in imagination
climb until she becomes the maid to
Mrs. Naaman. And one day Mrs. Naa
man comes into her room, and, sitting
down, she buries her face in her hands
and sobs as though her heart would
break, and the little girl, comes up to
her and says, "What's the matter!"
And Mrs. Naaman answers, "Why
don't you know that it is just. being
whispered that my husband has the lep
rosy, and if it once gets out, he will
have to leave us and go and make his
dwelling in the Leper Colony, crying 'Un
clean! Unclean!'" "Why, cheer up,
ma'am, there is a man in our country
who can cure leprosy." And Mrs. Naa
man answered, "How do you know it!
Have you ever known hrm to cure a
leper!" And the girl says, "No, but
tho other day there was a little boy who
had a sun stroke and died, and the
mother sent for our prophet, and he came
and took the litle boy into the barn an.l
stretched himself over the boy, and in a
few monments he came down again,
bringing the little fellow with him, and
ho had brought him back to life again,
and then, if he can give life, surely he
can heal disease."
And immedistely the word goes to
Naaman and Naaman gets his horses and
chariots, and about a half million in our
curency, and goes over to t,ee the pro
phet of God, and when he gets there, the
prophet sa3's, "Tell him to go and wash
in the River Jordan seven times."
Anr the point that I want to get hold
of is this, that God never holds past
hostility against you. Though this man
was an enemy to God 's chosen people, yet
God is willing to heal him if he will
obey the conditions. That is one of the
great marvels of the gospel of Jesus
Christ. It doesn't matter how far down
the man gets, no matter how he blas
phemes God, God is willingsto heal and
to forgive and to cleanse, if you are
willing to obey. "Though your sins are
as scarlet, they shall be as white as
snow." Then again," "For the Son
of God came, not to call the righteous,
but sinners to repentance." I can prove
it to you also by experience.
And the" second point that I want to
snake 'is this, that God takes m "account
of your station in Ufa Of course, this
man was a great man. The Bible admits
it. And honorable, and a mighty man
of valor. The Bible admits all of that,
but the Bible insists on saying after it
all, "But be was a leper." Aa it is
there, let me put it here. Granted you
are a moral man, a good father to your
children, and a good husband to your
wife, and that the men in town look up
to "you and respect your word, but, in the
final analysis, if you are outside of God
and of Christ, you are a leper. As it is
there, let me put it 'here. Grant that
you are a good wife, and a good mother
to your children, and that the wemen in
your city vie with each other in open
ing their homes to you, but if you arc
eut of God and out of Christ, you are,
in the final analysis, a leper. Educated!
Yes, but an educated leper. Winsome!
Yes, but still a leper.
Ana when Naaman heard the condi
tions he got mad. Sometimes it is a
very healthy thing to get mad. Some
of you come here night af'er night; and
you never ge' mad, glad or sad. You are
liko an old ditch puttie. Thera is no rise
or fall. Naaman lost his temper and
said, "I thought because of my position
ho would surely eome out and heal me."
And he turned away ia a. rage, but nis
servants went to him and said, "JVhy,
he. haant. asked yoil to do much. He

ATLANTA STORES ROBBED
IN TRUE WESTERN STYLF
Two Youths Hold uo Clerks
and Patrons in Peachtree
Street Drug Stores.
(By The Associated Press.)
ATLANTA, Ga., Nov. 19. Two
youths, giving their names as Eric D.
May, 17, and Stuart Taylor, 19, were
under arrest here today charged with
staging two robberies of drug stores in
the fashionable Peach Tree street neigh
borhood in old-fashioned western style
Both, police said, confessed that they
were en route from Minnesota to Florida
and took this means of obtaining msaey
to continue their trip. They said they
came originally from England. The
money was recovered.
The hold up of Stephens and Hawks'
drug store last night in which employes
and patrons were lined up against the
walls was a replica of that staged the
night before in the Parker-Branan drug
store. In the first robbery about $100
was obtained and last night about $82
was taken. A clerk managed to tele
phone police headquarters last night,
however, while the robbery was going on.
Police arrested Taylor nearby. The
other youth was arrested later at a hotel
on information said to havc been sup
plied by Taylor.
HERE'S A 12-YEAR-OLD
WHO CAN BEAT 'EM ALL
REACHING HIGH NOTES
(By The Associated Press.)
NEW YORK, Nov. 19. Among boy
prodigies, Edward Rochie Hardy, 12-year-old
Columbia freshman, may boast
the mastery vt a dozen languages and
Samuel Rzeschewski, nine-year-old Polish
chess wizard, recently checkmated 19
West Point strategists in a row but
neither of them can sing.
Robert M rray, 12, of Tacoma, Wash
ington, can. Yesterday before a group
of famous Metropolitan stars, including
Mme. Francis Alda, who "discovered"
the youth last summer, Murray not only
reached with ease the high notes in Arias
of Galli-Curci and Tetrazinni fame, but
to the astonishment of his hearers, he
transposed those high notes to a higher
kev and breathed them with equal fa
cility and resonance. The singers who
heard the performance asserted this was
the highest note ever reached by the hu
man voice.
hasn't askefl you for a nickel, and you
have brought a half million dollars to
give to him if h wanted it, and you have
eome one hundred and fifty miles to see
him. Why not do it!" Then Naaman
lost his pride and said, "Why not!"
And he went down into the river, and,
having lost his temper and lost his pride,
then tie lost his leprosy, and that is the
way God always heals. His flesh came
baek again, not as the flesh of a faD
grown man, but as the flesh of a little
child, pure, wholesome, and sweet.
The finest touch of the whole tory is
that when Naaman finds he is healed, he
goes to Elisha and says, ' How much!"
And when he finds that the prophet
doesn't want anything, he says to him,
" Vlease give me enough dirt that two
mules can carry." That was a remark
able reauest, wasn't it! But Naaman
said. "Being the next man to the King
-f Syria, when the king goea to worship
his gods, in the house of Rimson, I have
to c with him; and I a mnot going to
worship those gods any more, because
mw I know there is no srod in all the

MAKE BIG RAID ON
CINCINNATI BREWERIES
CINCINNATI, Nov. 19. Important r
developments are expected to follow
raids made yesterday by federal prohi bition
agents on eight Cincinnati brew- -eric
and approximately 100 saloons.'1
The raids were conducted by 35 prohibi
tion agents brought here from norther
Ohio p( ins by Supervising Prohibition
Agent Thomas E. Stone, of Baltimore. I,,
At each place visited the agents took..
samples of beer and placed internal reve .
nue seals on liquid goods not taken.,
warning the proprietors that no rale . -were
to be made from the stocks out? "
the samples which had been taken eoul "
be analysed.
It was said at the government building
that analysis of samples of beer obtained
by the prohibition agmts and deputies
from the office of the internal revenns
collector have in a number of instances
shown an alcoholic eontent in excess of, v.
the legal amount. i
Under the federal prohibition act, an
also under the internal revenue laws ;
breweries which manufacture beer eon- v
taining an alcoholic eontent of on half ' ;
of one per cent or more are subject V
seizure by the federal government. The 7
intimation is that should samples fnns
