MUCH INTEREST
IN BIBLE STUDY
Service at Kirnt Christian
to Begin Earlier Thru
Rest' ??f Meeting
I "The revival at the First Chris
? (lan Church Is moving forward
I with great interest," says the pas
I tor, Hev. H. T. Bowen.
"One man was so Interested In i
the Bible study conducted hy Prof.
Saunders In his own characteristic'
manner of directing it by memory
|and In accord with his theme for
the evening, that he moved up to*
' the front seat and said to mo 'Let's
got here earlier tomorrow even- 1
! Ing that we itfay get more of this;
study.'
i "The Interest was so keen In
'this study and the children taking ;
such an active part that It was de
cided to meet at 7:45 o'clock Wed
nesday evening and on through the!
mooting, In order that more time!
can bo given to this valuable .
aludy. The first bell will ring at
7:15 o'clock and we hope that all
comers will strive to be In their
places promptly at 7:45 o'clock'
every evening.
"Prof. Saunder's theme last ev-.
oiling was Christ'B Degradation1
and Man's Exaltation."
i "He pictured In a vivid and '
pleasing manner the Spirit of!
Christ In all His perfection living
, with Cod before the" world was, ,
and the matchless love of Clod In
sacrificing His only Son to exalt!
man. He further Illustrated
Christ's love for tho human race
by apt Illustrations from life
bringing a pleasing picture of
j Christ's devotion for. suffering
, mankind.
, "All this perfect sacrifice and
love was centered In man's exal-'
tatlon and enlightenment. The
plan which God laid for man's per- ,
fectloB Is so plain that God's word ,
says that a fool shall not enter |
therein.
Cod presented himself to man 1
through human agency, divinely'
incarnated. He stated furlhorj
, that Cod become^ our father and'
we become Joint heirs with Christ ;
which leads to perfection as found
In Christ and to equality which
Christ with all His freedom and
privileges.
"This truly optimistic note
weighed heavily ~ln the minds of
the audience as manifested by tho j
Intense silence of every listener!
while Prof. Saunders drove home
this climatic uterance and sealed !
It with Judas' savage and traitor
ous kiss and with that unmerciful ,
mob that gathered to haraas, pill -
afe. to spit upon Jesus, to crown
I with thorns, to mock and scorn!
'and st Isst to crucify In s most
shameful wsy, to gamble for his
garments snd to wag their heads;
saying 'He saved others, but could
not save himself.' This was the
i tribute we paid a perfect love.
"ProC. Sanders has had long
I years of experience as teacher
and preacher and you will miss a'

Woman's Influence on Jlig
Event of Reconstruction

Tale oj How Federal Judpe Brunts, of Elizabeth City.
Released Suipected C.itizenn From Summary Im
prisonment I* Related by PI niter /? t'.ohoon
The tale of an Klltabeth City
man's courageous stand against [
the abridgement of citizens' rights '
In the reconstruction era. of his
victory, and of Its wholesome ef- .
feet in curbing the evils of that :
troublous time. Is related by j
Walter L. Cohoon. of this city. '
former general counsel for the |
State Highway Commission, as It
was told him by the late General !
Matt W. Hansom. one of the most ,
Illustrious North Carolinians of '
his day.
The story cam? up in a discus
sion of recent agitation here with
a view to changing the name of
Road street to an appellation car
rying greater historic or other sig
nlflcancc. The street Is one of
the city's principal thoroughfares, j
and is a link in the Stale High
way Syateni. Mr. Cohoon argues
that it should be named Brooks
avenue, as a tribute to the late
Federal Judge George W. Broaks, i
about whom that notable recon
struction episode centered. Judge
Orooks' home was on Road street.,
General Itansom, who told the;
atory to Mr. Cohoon, was attorney
general of North Carolina before
the War Between the States, j
served with conspicuous honor as
a Confederate general In the war.
and subsequently for 24 years was1
a member of the United Stales j
Senate from North Carolina.
In 1870. the tale goes, a num- '
ber of % more or lens prominent i
North Carolinians had bccu
thrown summarily Into jail on sus
picion that they wer?? members of
the Ku Klux Klan, to which many
of the disorders of that turbulent
time were attributed. Their Im
prisonment was sanctioned by the
State government, headed by Gov
ernor Holden, the governor having
justified the meaaure on the
ground that a number of counties
were in a stato of insurrection.
Efforts by their friends to have
them released on ball, or brought
to apeedy trial, were futile. A
storm of indignation arose, but'
Governor Holden remained adam->
ant.
Finally. General Hansom, who j
was one of the leaders of those'
opposing the governor's summary i
course, decided to appeal to Fed
eral authority, as exemplified by.
Judge Brooks, at Elizabeth City.]
In the hope of relieving the situa
tion. The general traveled by I
rail to Norfolk, and took a stage
Coach from there to Kliiabeth j
City. It was hot. sultry midsum
mer, and the long ride was any
thing but pleasant.
Arriving In Kllzabeth City, the'
general repaired to the Brooks |

any trouble, pcnrral?" Mrs.
Brooks Inquired. I'pon being as
sured that it would not. she prom
ised to use her influence with her
husband in behalf of the general's
mixtion.
When Judge Brooks returnedr
he Invited General Kim?otu to sup

to many topics, but never touched
upon that writ whleli General
RaiiHoni had come ho many miles
to obtain. If he could. Before
leavinp. however, the peneral
made an appointment with the
.Judge for the followina morning,
'without disclosing Hln purpose.

It without further discussion . MraJl

There was great rejoicing.

TWO MILLIONS MOHK
IN HIGHWAY COFFKRS
Halclgh, June 23. ? -More than
$2,000,000 a <ld It ionn I accrued to
tho coffers of fhc Highway I?p
partment up to Juno 1, 1926 than
In all of tho previous fiscal year
of 1924-25, according to record*
In the motor vehicle bureau of the
Department of Revenue. Hut not
only did collortlonH show a hip In
i crease, both In the highway and
theft funds but a decided de
crease In the expense of adminis
tration of those two funds Is also
noted, resulting In a net saving of
97.(191.10.
The Increase In the collect lens,
of course. Is easily explained by
the steadily Increasing number of
automobiles In tho State. and the ,
collections of the Highway fund
up to Juno 1 amounted to $11.
529,004.72 as compared with $9.
368,356.47 for the entire previous
fiscal year, which Is s gain of $2.
190,648. 26 In 11 months as com-,
pared with tho previous 12 months. |
It Is expected thst the total figure
for the entire fiscal year, which '
ends JUne 31, 1926. will bo well
over $12,000.000.

Committees To Put
Check on Rural
Naughtiness
A quiet campaign to put on ef
fective curb ?>n Immorality, where
; It may be found to exist. us well
'bh to alleviate conditions result
ing fr?m poverty and various of
f ho other hvIIm to whlrh human
flesh Ih heir, has been launched
by the Ilev. A. H. Outlaw, welfare
officer of Pasquotank County.
Mr. Outlaw haH divided the
j county Into five districts, and Ih
organizing a committee lu each,
jwilh a view to having at least
i one member of the district com
mittees in every neighborhood.
The committees will be made up
I of both men and women, and will
work "under cover." In a sense,
in order that they may operate ef
fectively and without undue em
barrassment.
It will lie the duty of the va
rious committees to report to the
welfare officer on any conditions
coming within purview In the re
spective districts, and conversely,
when the welfare officer hears of
such conditions from outside
sourer*, he will report them to the
committee for personsl invest Iga
tlon. In this way, Mr. Outlaw
hopes to put the Pasquotank Coun
ty Welfare Department on a bel
li r fiiuef innliiK basin than It has
even beon before.
Although the Idea of district
< nmmitteoft co-operating with the1
county welfare officer Is not new
In North Carolina, having long
been advocated as an excellent
means for extending the scope of
the work. It has been put Into ef
fectlve practice In only s few com
munities in the Htate, according to
Mr. Outlaw. Its efficiency de
pends entirely upon the degree of
co-operation accorded by the va
rious committers, he point* out.
adding that he has found much in- j
terest In the plan In rural dis
tricts In which he has already
formed committees.
