interest and enthusiasm already shown
the town expects from its chamber.
PLENTY OF VEGETABLES
AT MARKET WEDNESDAY
Venders Bring In Much Pro
duce Housewives Fail to
Buy Freely Open Again
Saturday.
The curb market, at the corner of
Second Avenue and Marietta Street,
wag open Wednesday morning from
eight to ten o'clock. Beans a hi mode
sold for ten cents per pound, but Mrs.
Housewife was among tho missing, She
was not there to buy 'em and the coun
try folk prepared themselves well foi
her coming. Unlike the first days of the
new enterprise, the market this morn
ing was literally overflowing wit!i fresh
garden products that would make any
mid-week dinner look like a Sunday one
Everything from onions to honey was on
the tables. A rather good sized crowd I
of buyers were on hand early but the
vendors were fortified with' products. A j
jew -were kii over auu nad to be taken
back home. Honey, beets, turnipi,
greens, beans, cabbage,, blackberries
and lettuce were offered. Added to this
several bushels of May peaches were to
be had for a song.
The missing housewife may have stay
ed away on account of t he big howl made
last Monday over the price of beans.
That little matter was set Med before
the shop opened this morning, and the
pigs that went to market got those beans
for a dime a measure.
But the little matrons who stayed at
Lome "shore did" themselves. If those
who were among the missing this morn
ing will brave the elements and venture
forth from their huts Saturday, the
scribe assures them that they will get
everything they are looking for in the
way of raw material for that pippin' ,

MR. SQUIRES TURNS FROM
CHRISTIAN TO SINNER
Evangelist Turns to the Un
saved After Preaching to
the Christians for First Part
of Meeting.
The auditorium of the Charles B.
Armstrong Memorial church was filled
Wednesday night to hear Rev. C. T.
Squires in the fourth sermon of ' the
series of evangelistic services now in
progress there. For three nights Mr.
Squires delivered eloquent and inspir
ing messages to Christians which was
changed Wednesday night to a sermon
on sin, for sinners and all. From the
sixth chapter of Romans, tho evangelist
clioso tho twenty-third verse as a text.
"Tho wages of sin are death but the
gift of God is eternal life through Jesus
Christ our Lord." Comparing wages
as over against a gift, sin us over
against God and death as over against
everlasting life, Mr. Squires defined sin
us a state or condition of the soul out
of harmony with God. Sin is what puts
any sinner in a state of separation from
God and the man who separates himself
from God because of sin can not blame
God. lie. puts himself in that condi
tion. At the close of the sermon several
came forward by invitation and con
fessed Christ as their Savior.
Miss Myrtle Warren feelingly and
beautifully sang "Tho Old Rugged
Cross" and Dr. C. E. Adams directed
tho congregational singing.
Mr. Squires will preach tonight at S
o'clock and tomorrow night. The ser
vice Friday night will close the series.
Special music and singing at all services.
'Mr, Squires will preach on the Clara
Mill lawn during the noon hour tomorrow.

Tuesday- night with the Southern Tex

them enjoying a musical program that
was well rendered by homo talent from
the Gaston county mill villages. Tho
Loray, Seminole, and Hanover repre
sentatives' parts were well gievn and
greatly enjoyed by the good sized crow4
present. The piano selections rendered
by Mr. Woody, of tho Loray community,
were especially well given. Young Mr.
Woody is totally blind and his ability to
play under such a handicap was especi
ally appreciated by thoso who heard him,
Dr. E. C Lindemaii, former profes
sor of (Sociology at N. C. Colleggo foi
Women, Greensboro, spoke lust night to
tho workers and other guests. Tho
speaker having failed to arrive in the
city yesterday in time to deliver his ad
dress on "borne Fundamentals of Com
munity Work in Mill Villages'' gave
part of this together with Ins address
lust night. In his main speech of the
evening, Br. Eindeman dwelt largely on
tho conditions in Europe as he saw them
on his recent tour of England, France,
Germany, Russia auo Austria. This i
part of tho speaker's two hour ad
dress was of great interest to his listen
ers. "I was greatly surprised at the atti
tude the English us a people are taking
towards France," declared the speaker.
"There is no love for tho French peo
ple to bo found in London; tho English
have forgotten the nation on the couti
nent. " Dr. Lindemaii went on to say
that France's condition today lias no
pity from the British. An idea ot
hatred runs through tho English mind
today for the French people as a whole.
"In France today, it is a well known
fact that tho wrong party is in powc.
The common peoplo have been promised
every thing they want from Germany.
In northern Frame I found peasants who
where actually expecting the Germans to
pay them real gold for the war debts."
Tho speaker continued by saying that
ignorance had too great a part in tho
affairs of the people -of Europe." The
hatred between the people of tho dif
ferent .countries is bound to cause- an
other great war. People who beforo tho
new international boundaries wero made
were tho closest of friends are now the
worst of enemies. Tho new borders havo
split up towns and villages. Water,
light, and gas supplies have been cut
off The price of passports is too
great for people to cross tho borders.
The industrial and business1 world in
Europe is guff cringing greatly from the
fixing of new borders."
Dr. Lindeman in relating his trip to
Vienna told of a very interesting inci
dent. The Russian government officials
had him arrested as a spy, posing us a
newspaper man. Wherever he went in
the city he was under the constant guard
of Kussian soldiers. When news reach
ed Vienna that the 1,'nited Mates had
refused to join the League of Nations,
the hope of the people died out, ttated
the speaker. American tourists were
mobbed by the populace, the hotels wero
raided and American baggage was
thrown from hotel window into the
streets.
The speaker next told of one little
country in inland Europe that still held'
great respect for America. "Bohemia
is a young United Htates in the heart
of Europe. It is the ony place where
religion is still holding. The people
ire ever hopeful and they are working
out peaceful methods to live by. In
discussing conditions in Germany Dr.
Lindemaii told of two instances where
by it was hard to tell what Germany
would do, judging from her people.
The conference will come to a close
tonight. At three o'clock an open
house affair was held at the Chamber
of Commerce auditorium. Exhibits and
demonstration of activities were shown
by illustrations and explained by speak
ers. Handiwork from various mill cen
ters were on exhibition. Tonight i utont

extemporaneous. speeches on and off

ered. Magnificent and weird were the,
