It is very probable that Gover nor (ilenn will second the nomina tion of Bryan at Denver in July Mr. (ilenn has also been mention ed as the most available candidate to be placed on the ticket as vice president with Bryan. Y . M. Kockett was awarded a verdict of $1,C62.50 by an Ashe ... vine court last week for injuries received at the tannery of Hans Bees Sons. He had been over come by iras in a vat and came near losing his life as a result. While passing near a bee hive. a horse was stung at Florence, S. C, last week and later kicked over the hite with the result that it was attacked by the entire swarm. After beinc badly stung, the horse died in terrible agonies from ihe K)ison. Thirteen prisoners escaped from the jail at Rockingham last Wed nesday night. None of them are barged with serious crimes and one has ueen capiureu. inc es cape was made by a white prisoner from Hamlet who filed an owning through the lire escaie. An interesting suit was tried at (ioldslioro last week when a man named Brogden was awarded $4'.,ihs) damages against his father- n-law and brother-in-law, who he charged with alienating the affec tions of his wife and causing her to leave his home. It is safe to say that Bryan will lx the nominee of the Democratic party for presidential candidate this ear and that Taft will op pose him. There is an effort be- . 1 -1 . i ing maue- among me inenas 01 Bryan to induce those who opposed his nomination, to get on the band wagon now and help elect this great Democrat to the high " office of president.

And he would have to sell his farm on credit; for there is not enough money in the whole world to pay him half his nrira. Talk of the money-mad trusts 1 They might have reasons to be naad if they owned the farms in- stead of his watered stock.

Cf..i n:i i I J IWUUJ UUVyWUUaiU Vll, BUU uc " oicci irui uu me and industrial map, the story of the trusts seem like the short and simple annals of the poor. One American harvest would buy the kingdom of Belgium. King and all; two would buy Italy: three would buy Austria-Hungary and five, at a spot cash price, would take Russia from the Czar. Talk of swollen fortunes! With the setting-sun the money-box of every American farmer bulges with the weight of twenty new millions. Only the most athletic imagination can conceive of such a torrent of wealth. Place your finger to the pulse of your wrist, and count the heart beats, one, two, three, four. With every four of those quick throbs, day and night, a thousand dollars clatters into the gold bin of the American farmer.

Instead of being a moneyless pea sant, he pays the interest on the mortgage with the earmngsof a week. Even this is less of an ex pense than it seems, for he borrows the money from himself, out of his own bank, and spends the bulk of the tax-money around his own properties. Farming for a business, not for a living, this is the motif of the new farmer. He is a commerci alist, a man of the twentieth ceu tury. He works as hard as the old farmer did, but in a higher way. He uses the four Ms. mind, money, machinery and muscle, but as little of the latter as possi ble. Neither is he a Robinson Crusoe of the soil, as the old farmer was. His hermit days are over; he is a man among men. The railroad, the trolley, the automobile, and the top buggy have transformed him into a suburbanite. In fact, his business has become so complex and many sided that he touches civilization at more points and lives a larger life than if he were one of the atoms of a crowded city. All American farmers, of course are not of the new variety. The country, like the city, has its slums. But after having made allowances for exceptions, it is still true that the United States is the native land of the new farmer. He is the most typical product that this country has produced, and the most important, for, in spite of its egotistical cities the United States is still a farm-based nation. Foafnt Duel to Death. Roanoke, Va., June 11, 1908 Charles Dent and Harry Craddock, two colored men, fought a pistol duel to the death on the public highway yesterday. Both meo were killed. The men had some difficulty recently and swore to shoot each other on sight. They met yesterday and began shooting and continued to fire, after both had fallen to the ground. The bodies were left by the roadside several hours awaiting the arrival of the coroner. A Twenty Year Sentence.

Lesson 12. Re vie Golden Text "But these things are written that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God: and that believing ye might have life through his name. John 20:31. FUNDAMENTALS. With this lesson we close the studies in the Gospel according to John. During the past six months I we have studied the life of Christ passing hastily from the Incarna tion to the Resurrection and his final word to his disciples. This is to be a review and possibly the best treatment will be to really re view the lessons for the entire pe riod. We have had twenty two essons. and in the study only a few minutes can be given to each sec tion. T John declared that the "world itself would not contain the books that should be written' if all the deeds and words of Canst should be recorded. Enough is recorded, however, to carry out the purpose of the Gospel, "That ye may be lieve that Jesus is the Christ and believing have life through his name.' Jesus came to manifest the Father to men, to impart life through that manifestation and no man can come to the Father ex cept through Christ. Whoever 1 a a comes to the unrist will be ac cepted.

SUNDAY SCHOOL SNOTS Don't be stiff and formal. Don't try to use big words. Don't fail to study the lesson. Mr. Marion Lawrence says that the next great forward movement in the Sunday school world, "is the intelligent comprehensive study of the great missionary en terprises of the church." He says further: "Every Sunday school ought to be doing something defi nite in missionary instruction." A missionary map of the world and especially a missionary map showing the work being done by the particular denomination ought to be always on exhibition in the Sunday school room. An occa sional missionary program is roc- ommended, indeed, oftener than occasionally would be better. Marion Lawrence. Every Sunday school should have quarterly written examina tions. They need not be difficult, but they should cover the ground in some adequate way. They are necessary if the school is to be a real school where something is really learned. Prof. E. A. Fox, Kentucky, says: "In my ten years' experience as State Secretary, I have not found a single officer or teacher making a marked success of his work who was not a regular -vention goer. There is something iu our Sunday school t conventions to stir to action that is not found elsewhere." Do not read the lesson at all sometimes. It is a mistake to have the lesson read "in concert" every Sunday. The lesson ought not to bo read except occasionally, and when it is read at all it should not be read in just the same way every time. Let the superintendent read the first verse and the school the sec ond and so on, once every year or two, for a change. Let a teacher and his class read the lesson next time, choosing one class 6ne time and another at another time. Let two boys read the lesson, or four boys, or ten boys, or a class of boys, or one boy. Let two girls read it, or one girl, or two classes of girls. Let all the teachers read one verse and the rest of the school the next and so on alternately. Get at it a new way every time. More than half the time, it will be well to have a passage of scripture other than the lesson, and occa sionally it will be best not to read any scripture at all. Any way is better than the common way of having the lesson read every Sun day at a certain time in the order of exercises, the superintendent reading the first verse and the school the next and so on alter nately.
