"CYCLONE MACK."
Mr. . B. F. McLendon, known as
'Cyclone Mack" has been preaching
in Tarboro for one week.
The congregations have been in
creasing from night to night. The
crowd estimated to be 4,200 peop'e
Sunday, .was the largest that has as
yef assembled in the tent.
' People from Rocky Mount, Pine
tops, Macclesfield, Conetoe, Speed,
Robersonvil'e, Wilson and Greenville
have been attending these meetings.
The sermons preached have been
the pure, simple gospel, presented
by a most earnest, consecrated Chris
tion. Mr. McLendon is forceful and
logical. The facts and princip'es of
Christianity he tells plainly and
then, with asl the power and intensity
of his very soul and body he drives
them deep into the hearts and minds
of Ms hearers.
While he does not mince words,
yet helnever fails to have his hearers
understand perfectly his sermons. At
times there is a twitter among Jus
audience, then a hearty laugh, and
if Mr. McLendon can't tel" a joke,
he would be out of it sirtctly.
And all at once, he recites a sad
story illustrative of the same prin
ciple, and the people are crying. Hi?
appeals, whether made in laughter
or sorrow, are strong and effective,
I have listened to Mr. McLendon
sine he came to Tarboro, and his
'anguase in the pulpit is not as un
grammatical as he says it is. If
anything, Mr. McLendon has over
estintated these "so-called imperfec
tions." ' ,'
Mr. McLendon is an orator. Dur
ing, last week he broke forth in as
beautiful flights of oratory as I ever
heard, and his language was perfect
and most impressive.
And how he can tell a story or re
late ' his ' own experiences. Yea,
stories of love, pathos and sorrow;
stories of sarcasm and humor.
&ig preaching is reaching the peo
ple, '. They are flocking to hear him,
and they listen. They never miss a
wofd;y They do not tire.
The pastors and the churches are
inviting all to be present at these
services. , ., i
-c Wherever Mr. McLendon has been
thousands of people have been
brought into the Kingdom.

Savoyard in the News and Ob
server, in referring to the negro,'
says: j
"The political equality the G. O. i
P. has purveyed for the negro keeps j
the promise to the ear and breaks it
to the hope. It is a sham, a fraud, j
a crime. In the Northern States '
there are more than a million and !
a ha'f of negro citizens and their
number is constantly augmenting.
Here is a field for propaganda. -Letj
the Narth bestow on the negro politi-1
cal equality before it goes down:
South Mrs. Je!lybying about it.
"Now I am going to say something!
I'm sorry to say, and would sacri-.
lice much to have it untruth. It is
i
this: The negro is hopeless because
he has no pride of race. Thought-;
less folk have compared him. with j
the Jew who suffered all the torture ,
of cruel and inhuman oppression for;
centuries. What preserved the Jew?j
It was his pride of race. There never;
was a Jew who was not grateful to1
God for creating him a Je'-v. If there:
was such a man as Isaac of York, as
Scott pictured him in Ivanhoe, he j
looked down with sovereign contempt
upon every Plantagenet of the entirei
lot. But there never was a negro cap-!
able of thought on the subject who I
did not curse the fate that made him j
a negro. ihere is your problem,
there is your race question. Caste
dominates it, and acte is stronger
than all the armies and all the navies)
all the world has ever seen."
Petrograd, Oct. 11 (By a Staff
Correspondent of the Associated
Press). Russia's school system has
suffered in the general breakdown
of the economic system. Lunachar
sky, the commissar for education, is
endeavoring to correct and preserve
the free schools by diets but it is a
difficult task.
A great majority of the schools in
the famine districts are not opening,
and it Is extremely doubtful whether
they can be opened this year. Even
in the great cities "ike Moscow and
I Petrograd, it is doubtful whether
Hthey can continue unless reorganiza
tion proceeds with great rapidity
and energy.
In an effort to keep the schools
going, parents, iave made' contribu
tions to teachers in the way of
money, and food and the children
have often carried wood daily to the
schools to keep .warm. Books, paper,
pencils and other supplies have been
lacking.
Lunacharsky sayg in a recent
statement that the Cheka, or com
mission f o the prevention of counter-revolution,
insists that the schools
must be kept free of parental influ
ence. To- accomplish this he an
nounces that- the- government will
name committees in each locality te
take charge of this 'schools and will
empower these .committees to collect
money from .the. parents who tare

HOTEL EMPLOYE SMASHES
LIQUORS WHEN DISMISSED
No'-tingham, Eng., Nov. 12.
Standing in a pool of whisky, cham
pagne and port wine, Harry Ward, a
hotel employe, was recently arrested
by the police after witnsses had
hard .he smashing of bottles in the
hotel cellar. He was sentenced to
two months imprisonment for the
damage, estimated at $1,000, He
had smashed 88 bottles of cham-
pagre, 04 of port and 28 of whisky,
as w'il as brandy and benedictine
bottles. ' ,
The prisoner pleaded, through his
counsel, that he did it in a fit of
temper because the manager had
given him a week's notice of dis-
missa:. Malarial fever contracted in
Mesopotamia, it was said, had ,f -
fected his mind.
GERMAN FIRM IS HOLDING
ANCTION OF RUSSIAN FURS
Leipzig, Germany,- Nov. 12. The
first auction sale of Russian furs, ar
ranged by the Russian soviet govern
ment nnder the auspices of a Ger
man firm has begun here. Foreigners

at record prices.
The estimated aggregate value of
the stock of raw and dressed furs
offered at the sale was about 60,
000,000 to 60,000,000 marks, and it
is believed that huge stocks of furs
still in Russia may hi placed for sale
hers if the present auction is sue

r The soviet r government proposes
to leave thee proceeds of the sale in
Germany at a pajrt cf tthe Russian
credits to be established there.
