OFFICERS OF THE DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE Senator Robinson of Arkansas was reelected minority leader for next session of Congress at the Conference of -the Minority, composed of the Democratic members of Congress, Senator Walsh of Montana, was re elected vice-chairman of the Confer ence, and Senator Gerry of Rhode Is land party whip. Senator Black of Alabama, a new member of the Sen ate, was elected secretary of the Con . ference. " , v ' ' ' The Democratic Senators nominated Senator Pittman of Nevada for the office of President Pro-Tern of the Senate during the Seventieth Congress.-Other nominations were E. A. Halsey, now confidential Democratic floor clerk, to be secretary of the Sen ate, and Charles S. Hartman, of Mon tana, to be sergeant-at-arms. ' MEXICAN AFFAIRS It was immediately rumored that the State Department had! requsted the recall of Ambassador Manuel C Telle when he left suddenly for Mex ico City. But the hopes of certain parties who desire such action on the part of the State Department .were dispelled when this department denied . tnat ir na asked tor, the recall or Ambassador Telles. In the 'meantime'' the country continues to be flooded with propaganda against the present administration of Mexico. IMMIGRATION The flow of aliens into this coun try continues with unabated force, More than twice as many were ad mitted to the United States during the month of January than departed from the country.' Statistics of the Commissioner of Immigration show that 28,023 entered and 13,981 de parted during that month. Nearly two-thirds of the incoming aliens were home-makers, according to re port Of the 1,499 who were turned back because of faulty visas or for other reasons, 1,171 were barred at the Canadian border, 128 on the Mex ican border and -32 on the Atlantic seaboard. WOMEN TAXI DRIVERS Members of the alleged "weaker sex" have determined to compete with men in another Industry and are now -driving taxis in this country Informa tion from the Woman's Bureau of the Department of Labor tends to show that the accident record of the women is lower than that of the men drivers. Twenty-five women drivers are -' employed y the Cunningham Cab Co., of Philadelphia. This com pany, began the experiment of em ploying women drivers about six months ago in- order to increase its force of chauffeurs. THE RIGHT OF SUFFRAGE Again the right of the state to de prive a person of political rights on account of color has come to the front Texas passed a law in 1923 prohibiting negroes from voting in Democratic primaries. Negroes under the Federal Constitution, have . the right to participate in state primaries and cannot be deprived of that privi lege by state laws, was the decision of the Supreme Court last week in the case of L. A. Nixon, who, under a state statute, was prevented from vot ing in a Democratic primary at El Paso,; Texas, at which both federal and state candidates were selected. It is thought that this decision will have some influence over the much mooteed question of federal jurisdiction over - primaries, raised in the Smith and iVare cases from Illinois and Penn : . aylvania.,;., THIT ARMISTICE CAR Marshall Toon's raOfoad ear. in i -which the armistice was signed, No i vember 11, 1918, is to be housed pr v manently in a shelter built with A- merfcan money.

Mars Hfll f Collepre. ! F, "Take heed how you hear' Luke 8:18. Introduction. !' o The more I observe the wsy in which different individuals listei to sermons, the more this text keeps ringing in my ears. There seams to be little in the pulpit or elsewhere to counteract the present tendency. So I am writing in our county jape? for our own folks. I suppose vmost of them will pay about as much, at tention to me as they pay to preach era in general. But maybe some: will profit by it So here goes. .4 1. What to hear is not the themei I do not intend to minimize th'-imt-portance of the what of hearing.' Bui that subject was possibly overdone by our forefathers. Dusty volumes ev Sough to make a large library are ly ing away.. These may be consulted by those who wish to review the battle ground of polemics. :fiv 'i. Nor would we take any time now to discuss the time to hear. In short that, should be all the time. jj; 3. Furthermore, the reason- for hearing properly does not come m now, Doubtless numbers of good rSc sons' could be given why one should hear. But that is passed over. -'''.'f. t 4. The only thing that we-are tj bring out in, this text is the H0.yr of .hearing. It has pleased God by- the foolishness of preaching (not o6lisB preaching, mind you) to save . them that believe. But how are they to be lieve when they do not hearT&TJit way of hearing now so prevalent. may partly account for the great numbers in our churches that give no evidence of regeneration by the lives they are livinff. They, have not heard -Ciod'i thunderings against sin, nor seen his awful frowtf upon'it. What do ric tudes about God's, love in Christ mean to one who has never heard God's righteous broken' law condemn hit soul to eternal nurhtT it bat become popular to join the church, and man: enter for that reason ratner' wis from conviction and forgiveness 0: sin. Let us bring Dei ore our view sev eral classes of hearers that conzrom the minister in these davs. If you ton that one person in ten is really heart insr. lust ask a lew bout tne sermons they are supposed .tobeheaitnj see, wnat. you get. 1. The Athenian Hearer. Tka fint elm af Ksarara to whom I wish to call attention is what I call the Athenian hearer. Well, who are they? They belong to that class of gentlemen whom Paul found in Atn ens. They spent their whole time in honrinor nr tpllino" nomethinir new. Their tribe has not all passed away yet. A number of people still go to ViiiTh nnt. t.n hear the Worri of God. but tell something he thinks is new, or see what his neighbor has round out. Tf he ornea into the house at all. he is tViinlHnfr nhnnf. Mimp nf the thinirs he has heard or wondering what he is going to hear you ask mm aDout cne preachers text or sermon and see Now. reader, are vou an Athenian hearer? You say, "No, you have not hit me." Well, wait, there are about a dozen more classes tn mm' nnH if I Ho not hit vou till the last one come, I Will get you then, although you win be in a minority. 2. The Indifferent Hearer Closely identified with the Athen ian hearer is the indifferent hearer. He, too, has no interest in sermons. He eoes to church because the rest of the family goes, or some friend, or to see his sweetheart, or perhaps to see and be seen. The time passes in ob servation and talking. Yes, and there are ladies in this class. They take up the time in seeing what kind of hat Mrs. Jones has, or how Susan's latest dress is made. Such men just look a bout to see what they might see. Such boys nudge, talk and giggle. And a giggling girl, O my! And if perchance the spring lovers get together, they never know ' when the preacher is reading his text, much less what it is. As for hearing a sermon, that- never enters the mind. Nor can any one else within twenty feet hear. It is talk and giggle and giggle and. talk the whole ..time.-None of, this class of hearers has any interest in sermons. As for. what sermons are for, and as to whether others can hear or not, they are perfectly indifferent. The rilent indifferent .ones are not so ob ncxious as the disturbers, as they. (o the most harm to themselves. H"'. those indifferent ones who are con tinually hindering the hearing of oth ers, ought to be informed that i': is against the laws of the State of Noi th Carolina to disturb public worship in any manner whatsoever. ; I do not want, trouble , to come to any one, bnt sometimes I think it would be a good thing to make an example tut of some folks for the sake of the gen eral good.,:, , . y ;-f 3. Th inattantiY fcaarar is Closely following the indifferent hearer is the inattentive hearer. These do ; not so much hinder the hearing of others, ' but they do not get anything from the discourse. The least little noise, inside or out, draws away, their attention." They say he is uninterestingrad tha tit does not matter any way. v . And sometimes the way some of us preachers talk, H would not make any - difference if t&iese inattentive ones did not have sh immortal soul to be saved or lost 4 (The above is part of a series of short sermons on "hearers.". ; Others will appear from time to time.) i SOME GOOD POEMS We have on hand several poems that were written by the Junior Eng lish Class of the Hot Springs High School and which are real good. Two of the poems- follow and others will be published as we can spare the space for them. SPRINGTIME COMES. By Jaculyn O'Dell Bare trees, standing strong, wind- -! swept, iLong stilled water, leaping nun Nature, silent, deep has slept, .v. riow she wakens, Springtime comes Spring, with all her laughing grace, : Rnrna nn Mrih'ft wild wind-drumn All earth stands with lifted face Waiting, for the Springtime comes.

Some time ago there was an article in the News-Record, entitled "Who is Responsible." Written by Mr. E. W. McFall of Hot Springs, which I heart ily endorsed, adding that Cain got in to trouble and was responsible for his own troubles. So in last week's issue of the News-Record Mr. C. H. Reeves asked me to point out "Just What Wrong Choice Cain did Make?" 1st. Mr. Reeves asked, "Did Cain sin because he purposed to bring an offering to the Lord"? 2nd 'Did he sin because he brought the offering?" 3rd Or was the Gift obnoxious to the Lord?" 4th. "Was it the motive that prompted Cain to bring the Gift that was evil?" 5th "Was it Cain's idea of God's character thaymade him un acceptable to God?" 6th. "Or was it in the attitude in which he came again how did Cain know that God did not' accept his offering? and how did he know that the Lord had accepted Abel's offering"? Then Mr. Reeves concludes by saying ,all scripture is given by inspiration and is profitable to us, if we read it and seek to under stand it to the end that we strive to shape our lives in harmony there with. Now Mr. Reeves asked some questions which I am unable to ans wer, as I can't find any answer in the Bible. But in the first place his offering was not in accord with the offering that God required of His people later when He gave them the Law. See Lev. 17:11. But Abel's gift was in accord with God's Law. Also read Heb. 9 :22. Cain who was of that wicked one, and flew his brother and wherefore, SJew he him? because his own works was evil and his brother's was rights eous. 1st John 3:12. We see why the Lord did not ac cept Cain and his offering for we can not serve two masters and as Cain was bf that wicked one (which is the Devil). Because the carnal mind is in -enmit y against God it is not sub ject to the Law of God, neither in e'eed can be. Rom. 8 :7. "And the Lord said unto Cain, why art thoy wroth? and why is thy countenance faln?" If thou dost well shalt thou S5t be accepted?" "And if thou dost ot,well, sin lieth at the door." So we see plainly that Cain was absolutely responsible for his trouble. When Cain failed to please the Lord, if he had come to tht Lord like Paul cry ing out, "Lord what wilt thou .have me to do?" God would have accepted him just as truly as he did Paul for h; said that "He that cometh to me, 1 will in no wise cast out" But if w want God' to accept us we must come hi the spirit of our Master,, saying! "Not my will but thine be done.''; -- -i Your Friend, Hii- D. S. LAMB.'
