The church, said the preacher as he pulled 4iwy m me rope. ; In a certain collection two coins -composed the sum total, a quarter and a penny. The quarter said to the penny, "you are worth nothing you are no good, the penny replied, "I may :not be much good, but I go to church and Sunday school oftener than you do." Are you a "penny" Christian? How easy-. it is to get out of the , ."habit of going to church. If the devil can get you tobelieve that you are mot wellon Sunday or that the weath er is too bad or that company has come, he will insist that you stay away this time.

Charlotte Observer. In the matter of the Britt-Weaver contested election case from the Tenth North Carolina, politics . has won victory. The issue was not decided on its merits. Regardless of evidence, the seat was given to Britt by reason of the fact that the republicans at the time had more votes in the house than the democrats had, just as it would have been given Weaver if the democrats had been In control of the situation. It does not indicate that Mr. Britt was elected by the votes of the people of the Tenth district, but it undoubtedly indicates that for the time the republicans in congress were smarter than the democrats. . Weaver was a sacrifice to democratic indiffer ence. , The majority party in the house-must have known that the con test would be decided by Saturday's voting, and it must have known that the contest would be defeated by a strict parry vote, yet mere were a number of seats on the democratic side vacant at the critical moment and the republicans walked away with the prize. Mr. Weaver was unseated in stanter and' Mr. Britt was sworn in to succeed him. The seat which was under contest has been held Iiv lh . - , . -. ... . i ucuvcrai since me election 01 two years ago, and Mr. Britt will be priv ileged to serve three days in the seat to which the houseJias said he ia en. titled. It was one of the most extra ordinary entertaining incidents that marked the proceedings of any session of congress. It is an incident that is productive of a full crop of "dry grins' for the democrats, and while the im mediate friends of Mr. Weaver may entertain feelings of resentment against the responsible bunch, the country at large will be inclined to feel obliged to it for an unexpectedly developed source of entertainment. Under the circumstances The Ob server feels free to felicitate Mr. Britt and his friends, at the same time con doling with them that they had not decided to make it a double-barreled contest Mr. Britt can how see that fhe made a mistake when he came to the generous conclusion not to make contest of Weaver's recent election. H he had coupled' that with the con test over the former aetion he could have gone in not only for the frag ment of the back term, but for an other full term of two years. But as things have turned out, Mr. Britt will no aouot be willing to call it even. As for the pulling down that $20,000 sal ary for which amotherrian put in the woric, that might pa properly classi nea as an Instance of strategem in spoils, and we" drfVothold back on shaking Britt' hand on'that, too.

Campaign Now on is Enrolling Hun- areas oi inousanas ah uver me South and West Many More Expected. Nashville, Tenn., Feb. 22. The week closing with February 22 mark ed the enrollment of hundreds, of thousands of members of the Metho dist Episcopal Church, South, in a great league of prayer known as the Fellowship of Intercession. When this campaign closes and all signed blanks have been1 counted it is hoped by the leaders of the movement that near ly 2,000,000 members will have been enrolled. At the headquarters of the denomination in Nashville the secre tary of Department of Intercession, Rev. S. A. Noblett, has been receiving daily reports from conference direc tors, field representatives and pastors. DY Noblett stated today that Meth odists were responding to the call of their church in a tremendously inspir ing manner, but that thousands would yet have to enroll in order to bring the campaign for intercession to the number expected by the church. The call to prayer of a great de nomination is the Centenary summons to the Church. The year 1919 is be ing celebrated throughout the Metho dist Church &s the one hundredth an niversary of the church's missionary work, and the prayer movement is considered the very foundation of the revivified church which the leaders of the movement hope will be the out come of the Centenary. They declare i if the world is to be upon a Christian basis the church faces a staggering task and one which cannot be accomplishedwithout the banding together of a united people in earnest prayer.. The reason for putting; on a campaign and asking the church .members to sign, blanks promising to pray is in order to make the movement definite.. It is believed that when men and women sijrn these Dianas tney at once assume a reepon sibility which will revivify their own lives and make them dynamic forces in the great world reorganization.

A quiet home wedding was solem nized Tuesday morning, Feb. 18, at 10 o'clock when Miss Gladys Ruth Waldrop became the bride of Mr. Llewellyn A. Izlar. The ceremony was performed by Rev. M. F. Moo res of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Last Sunday morning- at the Bap tist parsonage. Theodore Davenport, from Brevard and Mias Laura Maude Wood fin, from Campobella, S. C, were married, by Dr. E. E. Bomar in the presence of several witnesses. The W. N. C. Times. Malcom Hyder met up with La. Fayette Stepp Wednesday night on a public road in the Big Hungry section of the county, and after a abort -con versation between the two young men. as the facta have been reported to us, Hyder drew his pistol and fired point blank at Stepp, three shots taking effect one of which passed a distance of four inches through one aide of Stepp's neck, another passed through bis shoulder and another found lodg ment in hia foot (From Raleigh News and Observer, Feb. 20, 1919.) No one should get the impression as the result of statements in the-Legislature and elsewhere that the North Carolina Good Roads Association is an organization with any other aim than the good of the State. The News and Observer confesses to a good deal of admiration for the. Good Roads Association. Its members have no axes to grind. They are ani mated purely by a dsire to serve the State. It Would be vastly easier and more comfortable for them to stay home as so many other people are do ing and let the good roads problems settle themselves. But they are am bitious for the State and so at a con siderable cost of time and money maintain an organization, hold an nual meetings and keep busy a good part of their time for the benefit of the people of the whole State. Don't we owe a good deal to an organiza tion of this sort? That State is most blessed which has the greatest number of organiza tions seeking the things accepted as the fundamentals of a State's happi ness and prosperity. Mention was made on this page last week of the splendid service 'that the Social Service Conference is rendering the people. There is no disputing that assertion because everyone knows that the things the Social Service Confer ence are doing would go undone but for the existence of that organization. The Good Roads Association is reconstructed I equally as serviceable in its sphere. It is the force in the State which seeks to link North Carolina with the good roads movement that is sweep ing the country. The service thus rendered is unselfish and patriotic and makes every citizen the debtor of those who are thus laboring for the general good. . If any one is in position to make suggestions to the law-makers as to the sort of good roads legislation which ought to be adopted it ia sure ly those who have made a study ef the question and who by their records can show a practical concern in see ing that the State make no mistake in the good roads legislation which shall be enacted.

It has caused Stiles considerable pain during the eight years he . haa spent in the west and he didn't real ize it was there until about 2 years ago.
