FAILED TO MAKE GOOD. “Congressman" Smith's Representa tive Did Not Show Tip at Besse mer City to Arrange Joint Canvass With Mr. Webb. Does Mr. John A. Smith, of Bes semer City, Republican nominee for Congress in the Ninth Distriot, want a joint canvass with Congressman E. y. Webb, of’ Shelby? From devel opments of the past few days It Vould seem that the above question, to be in keeping wi^h the truth, would necessarily have to be an swered in the negative. It is a matter , of fact known to everybody who has heard Smith speak during the present- campaign, and also to those who, though they have net heard him speak, have read the papers, that Smith has pretended all along to be just dying for a joint canva33 of the district with his Dem ocratic opponent. He challenged RJr. Webb through The 'Charlotte Observer and other papers and re peated his challenge hi at least one speech to the writer's knowledge. In The Charlotte Observer of last Friday Mr. Webb accepted Mr. Smith’s challenge 4o meet him at ev ery county seat in the district and named a date. Saturday morning, September 19th, at 10 a. m. when Mr. R. S. Plonk, Democratic con gressional chairman for the Ninth District, would meet Mr. Smith or his representative at Bessemer City for the purpose of agreeing upon dates for the joint discussions. At the appointed time Mr. Plonk was in Bessdmer City, having driven to that place from his home in Kings Mountain, but was informed upon inquiry that Mr. Smith was out of town and if he left a representative in Bessemer City to act for him Mr. Plonk, we are reliably informed, was unable to discover the whereabouts of the gentleman. Had Mr. Smith not been so insistent in nis aemanas that Mr. Webb meet him on the stump we could take the charitable view .of the situation and excuse Mr. Smith’s negligence in overlooking such an important matter on the score that he had pressing and im portant business thaf called him a way. In the light of the above facts we are led to Inquire: Does Mr. Smith really want to meet Mr. Webb on the stump and, if so, why did he fall to show up at the proper and ap pointed time, of which he had been amply notified? We leave the read er to draw his own conclusions. came here from Maine a young man, and while teaching in the college ncried Miss Hoke, of Lincolnton. "s first child, Hoke Smith, the pres ent Governor of Ceorgia, was born hero in the “Professor’s house," jiow a part of the matron’s boarding hall, "e left Newton just before the war to become a professor in the Univer sity at Chapel Hill. Since the war he has lived in Georgia. Miss Italia Garibaldi, a grand daughter of General Garibaldi, has been appointed to take charge of the MethodlBt Girls’ Home School in Rome.

Stark Heard at Methodist Church Sunday Night by Large Au dience—Told of Religious Condi tions in tlie Hast and the Remedy Therefor. A large congregation was present Sunday night at Main Street Metho fcafc^linixh to hoar an address on the East and the Remedy A. M. Stack, a well-known lawyerTlP the State and a prominent official of the Methodist church at Monroe, hiB home town. This address was one of a series on missionary subjects which the pastor, Rev. W. R. Ware, is giving his congregation during the present month. Mr. Stack has traveled extensively and last year while making a tour of the Holy Land and other eastern countries wrote a valuable and inter esting series of letters to a number of secular' papers in this country which were extensively read. His address Sunday night showed him to be a keen observer and a man who is vitally interested, in. hiB subject. He was introduced in a brief but neat speech by Mr. L. L. Hardin. The speaker devoted the evening to discussing conditions as he found them in Palestine, the land of the Turks, where Mohamedenism is pre valent. The Mohameden, he said, was taught the Koran from infancy to manhood, this, their Bible, being the only book used in the na tive Turkish schools. Their relig ion teaches them to hate and wage war on all peoples of other religious beliefs. Hospitality it teaches them, also, and while under the roof of a Mohameden a Christian is treated royally but as soon as he is outside he is a legitimate prey for his host who turns robber and persecutor. He, related a number of humorous incidents to illustrate the absolute un reliability of the Mohamedens who have no regard for their word. He told of the manner in which the low er class is oppressed by the rifling class, the system being such that COIlUgCUUOIl UL and hence all incentive to accumu late property by the lower class Is killed. This results in a spirit of laziness and apathy on the part of the people which manifests itself in social conditions which ate appalling. He told of the oppression of the wo men and the light regard in which they arc held. . The remedy for these conditions said the speaker, lies in the Chris tian religion and it falls to the An glo-Saxon race to carry this religion to these benighted people. Some headway is being made along this line but it is a Blow process and will require long and arduous labor. Pastor Ware announced that next Sunday there would be addresses on some pEase'TIf missionary'work by a prominent North Carolinian aDd a native of this State who has for many years resided at Antioch. in Syria. A missionary deaconesB in Liberia has edited in native dialect a book containing the Ten Commandments, the Apostles’ Creed, the doxology an4 a number of the best known hymps. The book is not only the first' book published in the dialect, but the first successful attempt to make it a written language. v SOCIAL. j _ Mrs. James P.
