"Jesus dividi-d pontile Into just two classes. Again and again we see Him draw this dividing line sharp and deep, separating as bv a great gull the wise from the foolish, the sheep from the goals. And to those on bis left, no mat ter what mighty and wondi rful works i hoy have done and no mat ter what beautiful sermons they have preached in Ills name. H? declares *1 never know you. De part from me, ye that work ini quity.' These are stern words. Hut Jesus spoke them and I would rather be crucified preaching a whole gospel than to ride, tickling Itching ears by subtracting hero a little and there a little from tho plain teaching of the Hook, on waves of popularity to the proudest pulpit in the country. "So I say Jesus divided the world inlo two classes, those for and those against Him. and they have been thus divided ever since, k iih sons of darkness or sons of J light.

A?,?nff) NVw York. I)cc. 4 When "Dim-. tor" Jimmy Walker, mayor-elect gets bark from Ills Florida vuca lion next week, lie will find at least on?? movement already under way to loosen up the city under his administration. The first step is a campaign to localize Sunday ) productions of legitimate and musical comedy shows. Plans for the drive already have heeti laid before Ihe Cornell of the Actors K<|Uitv Association by a committee <>f producers head ed by William A. Hrady and L. "I?uwrcnce Weber. If the actors can be induced to surrender their day of rest and will approve the move, a campaign will be started in the legislature at Albany this winter to legalize Sunday theatri cals throughout the State. The producers long have chafed against the state of affairs under which they had to sit bark and twiddle their thumbs on Sunday and watch big crowds flock to the movies aud the sacred concerts which vaudeville houses are per mitted to give. And they are counting on Mr. Walker, an avowed friend of Broadway, and father of New York's Sunday baseball law to back them up with all his force. The mayor-elect is a devout church goer himself, and his new title. Doctor of laws was awardod to him during his campaign for election by a religious college. Iiut I>r. Walker is not one of these peo ple who think you should go straight home from church and nit with n mournful face the rest of the day. The mayor-elect's liberal attitude was one of the talking points against him in the campaign. Ills opponents were loud in their assertions that he would "lake the lid off" If he were circled. This Mr. Walker denied. Hut he drew a sharp line between morality and fanaticism and declared that while he would try to keep vice down he also would do everything he could to see that New Yorkers had all the liberty compatible with morality. Suggestion that the police, ant I cipatlng a letting down of the liars by the new mayor after the 'first of the yenr, already were closing their eyes to gambling houses and other "organized vice" has been made by the retiring mayor. Ilylan. Declaring lie had received numerous reports of vice from citizens, he Issued an order to the acting policc commissioner to the effect thai the "lid" must be kept on tight, ut least until the end of his administration.

Tin* road Is had in plac<>a. hut Mt 111 can ho trau-led over. Proof to this of fi-ct wax lortnconnng Friday In , tin- arrival ol several motorists 1 from Currituck point*, at least 1 one of whom had made the round trip. The had condition of the road ib ascribed in part to reccnt extreme ly heavy rain* coming on the heels of work by. highway forces" pre-, liminary to paving activities. As a rule, the experience of motor ists who traveled it Friday was that wherever the old roadbed had been 1? ft undisturbed, it was fairly good. Wherever there had been fairly recent plowing and banking, up of "new" dirt, the road was slippery or badly cut ; up. j In only one section did the gen eral run of auto drivers find It j necessary to depend upon outside | assistance to get through. This ! was in Camden County, near Cur rituck Hun, which marks the boundary between Camden and Currituck. State highway work ers were operating a tractor there, supplemented by a husky pair of mules; and Just about every mo torist who came aloiu; found it necessary to be pulled throuuh. There was one relieving factor in the general situation. Deep holea along the route of the Coun try Club detour had been filled in. after having proved the Waterloo of mere than one driver of a heavy car. The detour was a bit rough, but was "navigable" all the way Friday. Hesidea Currituck Run, there were two other points perilous for all except careful drivers. These were sectors between Gregory and Shawboro, and in the vicinity of the Corner Gum on the stretch between Shawboro and Sllgo. At both points, fresh dirt had been heaped in the roadway, adding measurably to autolsts' difficul ties. At neither, however, was one's car in serious danger of be ing stalled, provided he exercised reasonable care. Jtepairs at the point ou the George Washington highway, be tween South Mills and Norfolk, where a washout occurred Wed nesday, had been completed, and travel over that road was proceed ing as usual. At no time was traffic completely blocked by the washout, according to W. S. Montgomery, maintenance super visor for this part of the First North Carolina Highway District. The weather man's prediction of rain Friday night and probably Saturday was received with some misgivings here. In view of the pn'eent bad condition of dirt roads generally and of the road to Currituck Courthouse In parti cular, fear was expressed that the two counties to the east of Elisa beth City might be cut off wore or less completely from highway hoc ess here ? and Just at Christ mas time, at that. Merchants ' were not cheered by the prospect. INVENTOR ASKS FOR 860,000,000 DAMAGES ? Host on. Dec. 4. ?

Ncgoiia lions ar?- now iii progress on the part or some or th?* larger com mon carriers for the adoption of a device whirh in expected to rev olurftiiiui' ticket selling on rail roads, intcrurhan roads and bun lines. l nd?T tln? proposed sys tem all hut a few ticket sellers and ticket offices would be elim inated and I he passenger would be provide d with Ilia ticket by the conductor. This is accomplished by the use of a ticket pi I ii I i m; and auditing machine which iu carried on a atrup by the conductor. Dy the use of this portable machine, the ticket is printed In duplicate imd acta both as a receipt and a hat check for the passenger while the machine shows tlv exact vum the conductor must turn in to the company at the end of the run. It in claimed 1?> the manufacturers of thiK device that the traveler is absolutely protected from over charge. or the chance of being forced to pay twice while the cost of printing the tickets so printed Ik only one-tenth as much as for ordinary tickets. Tlie road, on the other hand, is protected aualnsi manipulation >f ticket aali s by the conductor or collusion between passenger and conductor. Transportation engineers to whom the device lias been sub mitted have declared It the great est advance in the last ten yea is in the s?-llliiif of public Iranspot tat ion John M. Heeler, consult ing transportation engineer of New York said today he was con fident much of the net revenue could be added to the passenger incomes of the railroads of the country by the use or this sys tem. lie pointed out not only would If be unnecessary to hate large sums tied up in already printed tickets but that even the ticket takers at the station gales would Ur eliminated while llo labor cost and real estute Investments at su hurhati stations would be mate | r tally reduced. Hy the use of the new system, lie pointed out, expense of I ra V * ellliiK auditors and checkers would be obviated and I lie prob lem of transporting cash for tickets from outlying stations to terminal headquarters would be solved. Ivacii conductor a I the end of his run would carry Ills cash with his ticket machine to terminal headquarters. The ma chine would stiow Just how many tickets bad been sold, between what points passenger bad been transported and the sum due the railroad company. Itallrnad men say losses from re-issue of tickets on some roads rise to five per cent slid that these would be ohvioted. The syst-m. arcordinic to John I'. Olimer. its Inventor, is special;, ly applicable for use on Interurh an electric trains and interurban bus routes where fare denomina tions are bandied. CONDI TION KIPLING CONTINUES SERIOUS Durwash.
