Majority Say He Should be Allow- ed to Serve in state senate. . ; . Much discussion is being heard at this time as to who is going to rep resent Gaston -county in the' State Senate; at the next, session r of the Legislature. "' It "1s, conceded, that Captain, A. L. Bulwinkle-who ' has received the Democratic nomination, will: receive a safe majority of tne votes cast for that office on Novem her 7th, but it is claimed by- some that the election will not decide tne I Question ' inasmuch . : as , capuin "Bulwinkle Is now ' serving under t'ncle Sam's colors as aide to a gen eral In the regular army - on the Mexican border. It is thought by some that because he is in the ser vice of the United States army It will make no difference and that he can return home, after being elected, and represent . his constituency in the Sute Senate. . - ' - That the question is being debated lo aome extent Js evidenced by the fact that the proposition ' has been euomltteed to State Democratic Headquarters at Raleigh with . the view of having aome light thrown on Jie situation. It is understood that at this time nothing definite has been heard which would offer a solution of the difficulty, if it happens to re sult in such. While no recent state ment has been made by Captain Bulwlnkle it is 'hoped, and expected by the majority of the Democratic voters over the county that he will resign his charge in the army and re turn here to receive the honor that will be given him on November 7th. Quite a number of. aspects are laid open In discussion of this question that are of interest to , the average citizen. Here are some of the ques tions being asked by those interested In the case r Can a man hold two offices in the government services at the same time? Is the State Militia a part of the United States Govern ment? Has the State militia been absorbed in the National Guard?, in being patriotic and answering . the call of his country ought a man to lose' his right to represent the people "back home"? These are a few of tne many phases of the question ., thai have arisen as the result of Capt. Bulwinkle's service ' In the North Carolina -National Guard. Although it is not definitely known outside of the war department at Washington, Just how long the Nortn Carolina companies will be kept -on the border It is generally understood and believed that all. of the Tar Heel commands will be mustered out before January 1st. This conclusion Is reached as the result of the two months service the . eastern com panies have seen on the border. It this assumption . is true, then, . the supporters of Captain 'Bulwlnkle are going- to ask that he be allowed to represent Gaston-eounty in the State Senate .which "convenes In January. several .prominent viastonut attor neys have stated that in their opinion Captain Bulwlnkle cannot- hold a seat in the State Legislature and at the same time serve in the United States army. There are others of the opinion that it will not be necessary for him to hold two offices at. the same time Inasmuch as the North Carolina companies will be mustered out several weeks before .the Legis lature convenes next. January.. At any rate the question is causing considerable discussion and the majority seems to be of the opinion that. Captain Bulwlnkle is entitled to a seat in the State Senate and should have it. : . - , - : IJig Street Clock Erected.

C. 'L. Greaves, of Lomberton, Doing the Preaching Subject !' Last Night Fishing for Men I. y W ard Milan, of Atlanta, Leading i Singing- Special Services Sched uled. ;.v..v; .. ' A protracted meeting to continue for ten days was commenced Sunday at the First Baptist church; ' The pastor. Rev. W. C. Barrett, conducted both services Sunday. At night the church waa filled and ' many were turned away.' Mr. Barrett preached a strong sermon from the text, "This in a' true saying "andorthy of all acceptation,- that Jesus Christ came Into the world to ' save sinners ' of whom I am chief." . , ', "Rev. - C. L. Greaves, pastor of - the First Baptist church of Lumberton, who is to do the preachingarrived in the city yesterday afternoon and preached his first sermon last night. In a very pleasing and forceful way he spoke on "Fishing for Men". , The Christians who were there could not buff eel a conviction that they had been neglecting their chief business-fishing -for men. A very forceful illustration was that of the business, man who' had worked a young man for months without knowing whether he was Christian. ' This business man was a good man and a good deacon in his churcn, but he had found out everything else about the young man except the all- important matter of his soul. This is the way we are all doing. The one. who puts first things first is the exception, There was a very hearty response to a call for workers. Between 50 and 100 pledged themselves to do their best fishing for the lost during the meeting. . While Prof. Milan has only con ducted the music for one service, there Is promise of great things. He sings well himself and seems to have the ability , and personality to get music out of others. Prof. Milan. Mr. Greaves and Mr. Barrett visited the Central school this morning and extended to tne boys ana gins a coraiai invita tion to attend the services. Pror. Milan captivated all who heard him by singing a very religious song to the tune of the chorus to Tlpnerary. He showed what a rear master can do. He showed, too, that he fs try ing to honor the Master with his service. Services are to be held at 10 a. m. and 7:30 p. .m. dally. The public Is cordially invited to all services. Ninety-five chairs have been pro vided on the choir platform and It is hoped that the-'members of all the church choirs, together with any others who sing, will fill these chairs at each service.. Special services have been . an nounced as follows: Tomorrow (Wednesday) night will be Sunday school night and it is desired that all Sunday school members from the junior department up will be pres ent. Thursday night will be "par ents and children's night." The sub ject will be "The " Lord's Dealings With Children as Illustrated in the Call of Samuel." Everybody is In vited to attend these special services as well as all other services during the meeting. . . Adds Man to Force. On account of a large and steadily increasing amount of business the Southern Express Company nas found it necessary to add another man to the office force here. Mr. Wendall Williams, of Gainesville, Ga., has been designated for this po sition of assistant to General Agent L. E. Terrell and went to work yes terday. Agent Terrell states that In the future the office will not be clos ed at train time as heretofore but will be open continuously from 7 a. m. till 6:30 p. m. Ideal Again Open. ' .'

HU pur pose was that . this $75,000 would be taken largely by operatives and wage earners of vsrlous classes w no would not be able to take stock and pay cash for it. It has all been tak en, most all of it being subscribed for by the class Col. Armstrong had hoped to Interest in . the project. Most ef it was taken in blocks of $500 or $1,000. All of this $75,000 Is to be handled through the two local building and loan associations. Five shares ($00) will cost tne holder $1.25 per week: ten shares ($1,000) $2.60 a week. After the first six months, said Colonel Arm strong, the interest on the loans win be paid by the mill itself Instead or by the holder of the stock. . Building and loan stock matures in a little over six years. A person holding 10 shares of stock will have paid out at the maturity of the stock about $875 and will have stock of $1,000 par value.

' of a great political party during tne past tnree and a half years. At the' beginning he made - the statement that It was not, bis purpose to abuse - -any one but he would call a spade a spade when speaking of the Republl- . . can party,. adhering always to ;the, truth. , He declared that It war hi honest opinion that the most forto- ' " nate thing that had ever occured in' politics for the American people was " the division of the Republican1 party in IB 12. While the Democrats went into power four years ago aa mi- norlty party he did not believe that a split is necessary In 1 9 1 because -he believes In the .fairness of. .the American people and that they will c do their duty and re-elect Woodrow; Wilson on November 7th; (Applause) ' Mr. Page asserted that President ' Wilson had been elected to office on . .- the heels of a string of Republican, successes and at a time ; when , the G. O. P." administration had made and' placed on the statute books numerous laws that had not been in the least' beneficial to the - American people but for the big in tereets. He stated that Mr. : WUson , had called an extraordinary session, " - of Congress in 16 days from .'the -' time be took the oath of office and the Democratic party took! , up the , pledges made to the people in ' the order most necessary. "I am proud,' . declared Mr. Paget "that I am C Dent ocrat because It is the only National party in existence. The Kspubucaa party Is a sectional party and was so ,r. constituted, born , for 'a- special pur- pose and has always served the spe- ' clal interests.

The palie ; 1892 under Harrison had been shirt- . .. ed by the Republicans to Cleveland ft year later and, . the Republicans have forgotten about the panicky, times in 1907 under Roosevelt, the , idol of the Progressives in.

The old (National.--banking law has been responsible . because it benefitted only a few ra- 7 . vorltes and neglected the masses of - -the people, : During these panics the . money sharks reaped -a harvest at the expense of the people who haa -1 to borrow money. In order to right. these conditions Woodrow ;v Wilson v v and the Democratic . party 1 -passed th Federal Reserve Act.
