C, THURSDAY, NOV. 10, 1921, ASSOCIATED PRESS MACK BRANDS THE LIARS; "LOST CHRIST" TONIGHT A Boot and the Short and Ugly Word For Some Critics; Respects to Poker Playing TALKS TO TEACHERS SATURDAY ED CROSS PUS ANNUAL DRIVE TOMORHQW Rapping slanderers, poker players and idol -worshippers and taking a pot shot at critics of his own work, Cyclone Mack last night preached his third termon in Tarboro. The night was damp and disagreeable but an audience of between 2,500 and 3,000 heard the evangelist. . "Prayer" was again his subject. He called upon Christians to destroy the Wall that stands between them and a prayer answering God. Tar boro, he declared, is spiritually dead and doesn't know it. One of the first steps necessary to de destruc tion of the wall is tithing. For nearly an hour Mack kept his congregation swaying between con vulsions of laughter and hushed amazement. As he related the story of his first "gate receipts" as an evangelist, there broke over the con gregation uproar after uproar. And, finally, when he branded his own would be defamers with the short and uelv word there was a ripple of applause which threatened to break into his sermon but suddenly veered off into chaotic laughter. This is what Mack said: ,"Any man that says I am preach ing from a mercenary standpoint is a black-hearted, pusillanimous, in iquitous, rapacious, mendacious, beatle browed, hog powled, 'aijter jawed, white livered, vile, contempti ble liar.'' About the Poker Players. Mack repeated again last night that farboro folks are not so con servative as they boast. The better part of the so-called aristocracy, like the best 'part of a potato, is under the ground, he said. When he re ferred rather sharply to the inci dental expenses for the meeting, he said: " "You needn't tel! me about a hard times. Any town that has as many poker games going on as you have here is prosperous." Announcement was made last night that ten big stoves wilt arrive here today or tomorrow and be placed in the tent. This is assurance enough that the tort from now on will , be ent'.cty comfortable The Monday nytht service will be given over to the colored people and Mnck wi! do the preaching. A Thursday ; night Mack and his party will attend the Kiwanis ban quet After the meeting at the tent. .The subject for tonight is "The Lost Christ," and it is the vehicle for one of the evangelist's brag sermons. Saturday Mack has consented to make a talk to the teachers of Edge combe county in the court house. Hi Sermon Last Nifht. ' "When"'! was converted," Mack aid,' "and -born the second time I : didn't know but one verse of scrip ture. , Immediately after my regen eration, I purchased me a little Bib'e, a red pencil, blue pencil, brown pencil and all other shades and col ors of pencils that I could find and I began to dig into the Scriptures and mark the choicest passages and memorize the outstanding verses. "One of the first doctrines that I began to study," continued the evangelist, "was the doctrine of prayer. I read away back in Chron- MACKGRAMS. The meanest thing that was ever spawned in hell and spewed out o perdition is an adder nosed, double chinned, thin skinned, forked ton' gued, snapping turtle, jealous, devil of a woman. If the church survives, she must be revived. Are you willing to do what you are asked to do and if you are not asked to do anything are you willing to come up and ask for something to do? The less sense a fellow has the more feelings he has. What he lacks in sense, he makes up in feelings. Your prayers are worth no more than you are willing to redeem in work. . Oae half of the church members of Tarboro could cash in and the world wouldn't lose anything in spiritual force. The devil is working just as hard to damn this city as Jesus Christ is to save it. The chairman of the Red Cross drive in Edgecombe county an nounces on the eve of the opening of the fifth annual roll call that all is in readiness. The drive opens to morrow, Armistice day.

The local chapter of Edge combe is appealing for your support in order to maintain the Red Cross county health nursing department, This is a noble cause and your money wil'. be used right here in your own county. Suriy no one can turn a deaf ear to the Red Cross. Ask any former service man what the Red Cross was to him in the war overseas. Can Edgecombe forget so quickly? MARKET REPORTS. The church is losing its revival spirit because many of the preachers are losing their concern for the lost, The history of the church is the history of revivals. I am not in the pulpit defending denominational doubts, spinning theological theories, propounding pious platitudes, splitting hairs and kittling nothing off to a point and reeling off lavender scented, rose water boquets while the world is go ing to the devil on high gear. Any man that says I am preach ing from a mercenary standpoint is a black-hearted, pusilanimous, iniqui tous, rapacious, mendacious, beetle browed, hog-jowled, 'lantern-jawed, white-livered, vile, contemptible liar I request be made known unto the Lord.' "Up to this time, I thought all that a fellow had to do was to go to the ' Lord and say 'I want this and that,' and God would shell it out to him out after a while I got over here to this practical letter of James and I read : 'Ye ask and receivve not because you ask amiss that you may consume it upon your own lust or pleasures.' Then I realized .: that there was a condition lying hack of prayer and the reason that lots of our prayers are unanswered is the selfishness of the motive that lies back of the prayer. "Many are praying for a great re vival of religion and that certainly is a prayer that is pleasing to God. It is a'ong the line of His will and if there was ever a time in the his tory of the world that a great, sweep ing revival of vital Godliness is needed it is in this compromising, Wheat: Open.

There! were about 125,000 pounds on sale, t all warehouses having about the same number of pounds, most of j t which was good tobacco which made, t a fine showing for the Tarboro mar- t ket. j. The Clark warehouse havlr.s the1 largest sale, had nearly 50,000 pounds en sale with some fine to bacco. As has been the case this season the prices were good and in some respects the highest of any market in this section. The tobacco men were inclined to believe some weeks ago that the to bacco crop had been exhausted, due to the small sales. But such is not the case as the weed has begun to ro', in and the sales this week have betn the largest of any week this year. The farmers have learned the best market in Eastern North Caro lina and are selling their tobacco where they can receive the highest prices. MEXICO WON'T GO DRY; STOP BULL FIGHTING? Mexico City, Nov. 10. Right on the heels of a vain attempt to make Mexico City "dry," comes another reform movement in the form of a petition presented to Uie chamber of deputies to pro hibit bull fighting within the federal district, the center of ' which is Mexico City. The peti tion is said to have the support of several deputies.

We must have a icles where God said 'if my people, I revival in this country or a revolu i V1 which are called by my name, shall humble themselves and seek my face and pray' that I will hear from Heaven. I also read where He said through Jeremiah, "Call upon me and I will answer thee and show thee great and mighty things which thou kno west not.' ... I read in the Psalms where il said, 'Delight thyself also in the Lord and he shall give thee the desires of thy' heart.' I also read in the New Testament where JeBUs Himself said, 'Ask and ye shall re ceive; seek and ye shall find; knock and the door shall be opened unto you; and whatsoever thing you de sire, when you pray, believe that you receive and ye shall have.' 'If ye abide in me and my word in you, ye shall ask what ye will and it shall be done unto yon.'

There must be a great' awakening or the decay of morals, the increase of sel fishness and finally a tremendous so cial upheaval. The sea of human life is seething with counter cur rent. The billows of prejudice and passion are rolling high. The con flict between capital and labor, the skeptical teachings in seats of learn ing, the uncertain Bound in pulpits, the word'.iness crowding into the churches, the immodesty and lewd ness thrusting itself upon society, the wide spread looseness of family gov ernment, the recklessness in the ex penditure of money and pleasure, the boldness of the criminal classes, the mob spirit breaking out in all parts of the nation.

Million and Half Russians Will Starve to Death by Christmas Says The Associated Press Samara. Oct. 13 (Bv a Staff Cor respondence of the Associated Press). The whole truth about the famine' becomes readily apparent after observation here. Reports of millions of peop'e eating grass or lying in a dying condition on the banks of the Volga river or migrat ing en masse are rather far-fetched. Entering the famine area the cor respondent had provided himself with canned meats and hard bread but was not compelled to use any of it in the first two weeks of trava' as food was always available at ; rea sonable prices. People do not die of hunger in one week. It takes months of under feeding. Then they reach the point where they are unable to eat food" at al'. Their hands, feet and stom achs begin to swell or they succumb to an epidemic of malaria or else thew new disease described as aneu ria, no cure for which is known here. Or they may be killed by co'd winds, snows and ' rains "which ha,ve been setting inv for the past two, weeks, with each Jlour 'taking a toll of hun dreds. " . . , -j The people of the provinces of Samara, Kazan and Simbirsk are in a starVing condition. ' In these three provinces, there are probably 500,040 children and 1,000,000 adults who must die before. QhristvJ mas. requisitions their crops would have The American Relieff Administra- been sufficient. tion is feeding barely 200,000 chil dren but is giving no food to the adults. One of the best effects of its food distribution will be to cheapen Russian indifference to misery is evi dent. The correspondent while sitting on the nlatform of a railway station throughout a long, cold night, wait ing for a train, saw a barefooted, little insane girl tripping along but the train hands and other refugees let her wander unaided until she drifted past the red sentry into a waiting room already filled to. over flowing with several thousands of persons lying asleep on the floor. A member of the local soviet who lived in the United States for seven years showed no pity but said : "You foreigners 'do not realize how much our Deasants can stand. They are used vo starvation." The famine area does. not. present a forbidding , aspect, except in the fields from which no harvests were obtained. The meadows and graz ing lands . showed many heards of horses and cattle. The villages seemed abnormally quiet, yet their workers were aboard putting in win ter rye and wheat. To the visitor they , made the customary charge that If it had not been for .the soviet "Now our only hope for bread is America," they say; yet many know they must die by winter and accept their fate with stoicism. "Why leave our homes and go die on the railway stations?" many of them retort when asked why they do not desert their land. Medical conditions are distressing. The country doctors are unable to practice as they are without medi cines r,nd the situation is almost the same in the 15 hospitals of Samara. Dr. Glasson, the surgeons in one of these hospitals, having 180 patients said: "We have no quinine, no band ages, no aspirin, no chloroform, nothing." The same condition exists in the children's hospitals and also in the dozens of homes open for the care of refugees, for there are no sani tary arrangements. In one such home 300 children are crowded in two roims, without blankets) fires or mattresses and without little or no clothing. Their only advantage v is that they have a real roof over them and receive hot soup dailye prices and check the oarding of food stuffs. The Moscow government appears to be unable to send food into this district owing to lack of money and poor organization. Also the typical Chicago, Nov. 10. Peggy Hop kins Joyce, it is reported, has agreed to a compromise on the divorce sunt of J. Stanley Joyce. The compromise, it was said, will make her presence at the hearing set for this week unnecessary. Under the reported settlement Joyce will obtain a decree', but will not get back the $1,400,000 in jewels that he lavished on the actress in the three months they lived together. And Peggy, it is said, will not press her claims for the recerd- breaking alimony she has been de manding. Her desire for play, it 's under stood, paved the way for the settle ment. Her stay in Paris this summer enabled Joyce's sleuths to get new evidence that spoiled her chances of winning all her demands. Joyce seiz ed upon this to bring about a quiet settlement. A ftar, the . charges and counter charges flew back and forth last i . . v:. .. . . . April, when Joyce filed his bill, Peggy demanded $10,000 a month, at least, so she could continue to live in the luxury to which she had got accustomed. The success of her suit, she was warned by her attorneys, depended on her remaining in retirement. This she did for a few weeks in New York.' But Peggy then went to Paris. When frhe returned, two weeks age, rumors followed her. Now she will take in a'imony what she can get. Though attorneys would not ad mit it, friends of the Joyce family said the way to a quiet settlement has been paved.

C. Dunn, of Tarboro, on the other. Hearings were held here early in September that con sumed the better part of a day, whefc testimony was offered ' w both sides, and the matter was .jd at length by oeunsel on either iiae. The vote of the commission was nine to one against the Hobgon' e.

Later opposition de veloped in favor of the Lawrense ville route. The matter was brought before the State Highway Commis sion, and on two diffei at times. committees were sent down to in vestigate. Both reports were in favor of the Lawrenceville route., Hobgood Has Road. Hobgood is on the railroad and al ready 1 as an excellent county road. Eight miles West of Hobgood, and on a direct line between Scotland Neck and Tarboro is a prosperous fann ing settlement that is now without a road. This route was declared by the committees that investigated to be shorter and one that would serve a population not now served by an improved road. : - The plaintiff denies the power of the State Highway Commission to re open and relocate a road that has been finally approved by the county road governing bodv.
