''That the members may keep: up ' their interest in. club work, it is nec essary to make each meeting worth while.

WELCH TO LECTURE ON EVOLUTION Yt the Methodist church next Sun lay night, Rev. E. R.

This subject so widely discusscd to lay has a distinct bearing; on the ?hristian religion and the teaching if the bible. The recent di;'<'UKsi;>n in jur State.

The new engine is an American La France type. It is equipped with a pumping arrangement with a capaci ty of furnishing 750 gallons of water per minute. The pump has' sufficient force to send a stream of water 140 feet. The pumping ar rangement is so constructed as to suck water out of a pijie and force i! through a nozzle. The engine has a maximum speed of 65 miles per hour. There is only one other larger Jire engine on the market which has a ca pacity of pumping 1)0!) gallons of 'water per minute. This one, however, ^is not so practical tor LrevardV 'needs and purposes as the next 'smaller size. J The cost T^jJjev^iH's new engi-v is approxinui^BJBf$l 2,000. and the (Town is al!o\v^?T years in which to complete the payments oil it.

The K'nanv .?emmittees haw raked every avail able source of revenue with a Mi'e iooth rt.rob in. an effort to comply ivith the demands of the anprop-i ? ions committees. But "the call is not sustained." There is an appreci able difference between the two which is not likely to be "reconciled" at this session. Two days were given to the con sideration of the Poole resolution outlawing- the teaching of evolution in State institutions, which had bee:; made a special order for Tuesday night. The bill was displaced, how ever, on account of the crowded con ilition of the hall and galleries of the House which were jammed with peo ple eager to hear the discussion. The question for debate was: "Resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring, thlit it is the sense of the General Assembly of North Carolina that it is injurious to the welfare of the people of the Commonwealth for any officer or teacher in the State, paid wholly or in part by taxation, to teach or per mit to be taught, as a fact, either Darwinism or other evolutionary hy pothesis that links man in blood re lationship with any other lower form of life." The resolution came up on the House calendar Thursday morning as unfinished business and the '"fire works" started without difficulty. The. forces in favor of. the resolution were directed by Representative Turling ton, of Irdell; the opposition by Rep resentative Murphy, of Rowan. Mr. Turlington could see no harm in prohibiting the teaching of theories as facts and paid his respects to the heads of the State institutions who had appena-d before the coinniittei ia opposition to the resolution.

Krwin. the einru'.i tup', rintcmlent of Sapphire Cotton Mills, is making very successful ei foils toward promoting' clean, whole some. and aithogether desirable sur roundings and habits of living among his employees. Ten new and well-equipped cot tages have recently been erected the cotton mill section of the town. ? The old cottages belonging l<> ih company have all been thoroughly remodeled and put in good sanitary I condition. New Sewerage connections .have been made, with the result thai I all the homes of the employees are | now equippyl with running water and all accessories. The .superintendent, recently <?(.. four prizes for tiie cleanest prem , ises in the mill village. The judges appointed to make the decision for this contest, which was so enthusias tically entered by all those living in that section, were as follows: Chief Barnett, \V. L. I'ierson, and Mr. Aiken. The first prize was one ton coal, the second prize, one-half ton of coal, and the dollar load of wood, and fourth, a three dollar load of wood. After the judges had thoroughly inspected all the premises in the vil lage, they finally rendered their de cision and awarded prizes to the following: First prize, Gaston Grogan ; sec ond prize. Ben Orwood; third prize. Alonzo Pruett; and fourth prize, E W. Wilson. It is the intention of Mr. Krwin to install electric lights in all th homes and to add many outside im provements that will aid in better housing conditions and increase the general welfare of those who are employed by his mill. Mr. Erwin's ambition is to make his mill village the cleanest and best equipped of any cotton mill in Western North Cafoljna. r ill CORNER RECOMPENSE \A question fur I In- I *i ?iy?-i Ciinu r!
