Alexander, a prominent Charlotte business man, at the Court House be fore a large audience yesterday af ternoon. The speaker believes that we are in the last days and near the beginning of the millenium. Accord ing to Scripture, he stated, Germany will be victorious in the present war, which is a fulfillment: of the -prophecies, and will, then invade the. United States. t However, they will not be victorious here as the Ancient of Das will then sit supreme, which will mark the beginning of a new era.

'Legal , wTang- ling which has been going on forr eighty years over "John- Mobb's mil lions" will be ended next spring: with the sale at auction here of the im mense properties which have caused so many heart-burnings. : The auctioneer knows these proper-! ties as the "London estates of Lord Arlington,' and their value Is some where in the neighborhood of seven million dollars. They include factor ies and docks covering scores of acres on the Regent's ? Canal in Lon don, together with more than 2,500 houses, rented for various terms of' Mr. Alexander based his convections. years to working-class tenents. The chapter tells of -four beasts com-1 Mobb's millions have for nearly a ine out of the spa divrsp fmm n I century been a glittering bubble to w w v another. The first beast, which is a lion with eagle wings, the speaker said, was England, because the lion is the emblem of that country. The eagle wings;. are representative of the United States because they were plucked from England. The second beast was . like a bear, which MrC Alexander thinks means Russia, as that nation is represented by this beast. Russia, thinks Mr. Al exander, will eventually go over to hhndreds of "rightful heirs," who have either turned up in quest of them or "been turned up by lawyers in quest of large fees. John Mobbs was a Northampton shire coachman. In 1757 he married the daughter of his old master, a rich London distiller, and thus became the owner of a large agricultural estate in the then . outskirts of London. But Mobb's use of the land was restricted bv certain ancient "rights" which the the side of Germany in the great 'citizens of London possessed to"prac- war. The third beast, the leopard, tide "free archery" over them, and was once the emblem of France. I there were stone "archers' marks" The fourth beast, great in its size, dotted over the field when Mobb be and terrible, with iron teeth, is Ger many, according to Mr. Alexander. This, he thinks is so because the iron cross is that country's emblem. This great beast devoured the other beasts: And then, Mr. Alexander stated, he believes that the United States will be invaded. The speaker 1 liken the people of the United States u lambs being fat-i came the owner; ; Mobb, however, granted leases im providently over the greater part of the estate, and then mortgaged the whole thing to a merchant named Sturt.

The attempts to regain the property for the descendants rf Mobbs always failed, however, al though there seemed" to be plenty of legal technicalities to justify their pleas. At one time professional pu gilists were employed to garrison the empty houses, but the Sturts won in the end and the Mobbs meadows are are now to be dispersed by tne auc tioneer's hammer.

"Racial Elements in the Population of North Carolina" was the subject of an enlightening and highly , in structive lecture delivered last night by Dr. R. D. W. Connor, of Raleigh, at the December meeting Qf the Cosmos Club, which was held in the hall of the Philomathesian Literary Society with a full attendance of the members of the club in addition to numbers of invited guests. Dr. Connor asserted at the outset that the population of North Caro lina was not composed of almost pure-blooded Anglo-Saxon people, and contained but a negligible percentage of other races, as the statement was often thoughtlessly made; but that the population of North Carolina to day, with reference to the white race only, is a composite population made up of a mixture of four racial ele ments, namely, the commercially minded, law-abiding, self-reliant En glishman, the Celtic Scotch High lander, picturesque, proud and sensi tive; the democratic, liberty-loving, aggressive Scotch Irishman; and the German, shrewd, thrifty, conserva tive, a lover 'o flearning and religion. The speaker traced the history of North Carolina from these four racial elements which have shaped her des tiny, and pointed out that the typical North .Carolinian of the twentieth century was not Saxon, nor Celt, nor Teuton, but was the offspring bf all three. , ., - t After reviewing the influence; or the first -three mentioned races and nointinsr out briefly their contribu tions to the development of the State, Dr. Connor dwelt at length .upon the i German element in the population . of North Carolina with its coritribu- j tions to our history and present-day civilization. In a graphic manner the speaker re lated of the , settlement of the first pioneers In the State, showing their influence in many sphers of activity in war, in politics, in law, in literature and in religion. In closing he declar ed that throughout our history" the Ger mans have been the most conservative force in the life of the State. In every crisis they have acted as a steadying influence upon their- more volatile countryinen, always moving conserva tively, advising caution and patience, and always standing for the ostenta tious but most potent and salutary in fluence which does not prevent North Carolinians from joining in the progres sive tendencies arid movements of the age, but influence them to do so with cautious thoughtfulness and quiet dig- t 1 Y w r 111 .

Now that Christmas business is in full swing our service is being taxed to its capacity. And while it is not perfect it is' showing up remarkably well for a new store. In fact we do not expect ever to attain perfection, for that is a degree beyond the reach of human beings. But we are striving in that direction and will appreciate any criticism or advice that yill tend to improve our system or service. This beautiful store belongs to the women of Wilmington. Many have expressed their pride in having such a store in the community. The more they co-operate and become acquaint ed with its every feature, the faster it will evolve and become a better center for the distribution of first class merchandise. . However, we do not seek your patronage upon the grounds of civic pride nor even upon the basis of patriotic duty to as sist in the upbuilding of the city, where you make your home, but rest our case solely upon the MERIT of our MERCHAN DISE. It is only through the actual service that you can test our goods', for goods ori the surface look very much alike. Twenty-seven years of merchandising in one of Wilmington's Sister Cities have taught us that the only method of building business is through the featuring of quality goods that give good service long after the price is forgotten. 1 In those twenty seven years the Bon Marche of Asheville has grown irom a small store to be one of the largest distributors of first' class ; merchandise in tlie South; by adhering strictly to this policy.
