A f.ee Bible lecture has been sched uled by the International Bible Stu derts' Association to be given in the Athens Theatre, at 8 o'clock on next Sunday evening. The speakci, Mr. J. F. Emerson, is. said td be an experienced bible student and lecturer and ex plains the general drift of affairs in the world in the light of the Scriptures. He says: "Things are not all that we would like them to be. We would be glad if social and industrial conditions prevailed wherein every one might at least be able to provide things decent and honest and have some time for self-improvement. We can fully sym pathize with Dr. Galvin's statement in the Boston Post: Will Lecture at The Athens Theatre Next Sunday Evening " 'The real cause of the crime that is beirg committed today is that 95 per cent, of the people don't care wliat harm comes to the other, fellow so long as it does not happen'to them. " 'If a change does not take place in the existing conditions, which will stop the rapid increase of the number of unemployed, t .predict, with all sincerity, that by 1915 there will be such a revolution as will make the millionaire afraid to step outside his home for fear of having his brains blown out by the ' starving man who awaits him.' "The Bible shows, however," says Mr. Eme.-son, "that we are in a transi tion period and that there is a bright futuic ahead of ue even though we may have to sail through a stormy sea to. get there." The lecture is free( to the public. Its purpose ,it is announced, is to stim ulate faith in Goda'nd to encourage Bible study. Those-who are arranging lor the. lecture state, that all thinking Christians and liwiieA skeptics arc es pecially invited. Alt seats will, be free and there will be no collection.

P, HOWARD PAMLICO COUNTY DELIVERS SERMON Commencement Exercises Of The New Bern Public Schools Begin. ROCKY MOUNT DIVINE HEARD Annual Sermon Followed By Reception To The Grad uating Class. The commencement cxorciM- of the New Bern Public Schools began yes terday, having been delayed from (he previous night on account l an acci dent to the electric light plant which cacsed the city to be in darkness. The commencement was opened with the class day exercises which were held yesterday afternoon and which were well attended and which proved very enjoyable. Class Day Exercises. The class day exercises always prove of exceeding interest to the pupils and as usual; yesterday's exercises were well attended. In addition to the large number of pupils who were present on the campus in front of the Griffin building, where the exercises were held, there were a number of in terested spectators. The program this year was inter spersed with a number of fascinating folk dances and inarches, a new feature, and these attracted considerable at tention. "Mountain March" was the first number on the program. It was participates in by the entire school, after which the class of 1913 gave a repetition of the same inarch. The singing of the commencement song by the pupils of the high school and the class of 1913 was next on the program. Then came a number of pleasing folk dances and the singing of the class song. The placing of the brick by the class of 1913 was done by Miss Kathleen Charlton. The exercises consumed more than an houi and there was not a dull minute during this time. Last Night's Exercises. The features of the .exercises last night was the annual sermon delivered by Rev. L. P. Howard of Rocky Mount, N. C, the reception to the graduating class and the banquet to the graduat ing class. Griffin auditorium, where the ser mon was delivered, had been attractive ly decorated for the occasion with flags, pennants and banners bearing the school colors, black and red. Long before the hour set for the opening every seat was taken. The program was opi ned with a sel ection by the orchest.a and this was followed by prayer by Rev. J. N. H. Summerell, pastor of the Presbyterian church. Misses Wyatt, Jones, Clay poole'and I'olsom, then delighted the audience with a delightful piano and violin quartette. Rev. I.. IV Howard, who delivered the annual sermon, is ,i master in the art of oratory and trom (he moment that the arose, his audience manifested that air of expectancy which men of great personal magnetism alwwys com mand. For more than .in hour he held the rapt attention of his hearers and it w.is plainly evident that his dis course not only proved instructing but highly interesting. Following a solo by Miss Emma Louise Kehoe the 7 H Grade; sang "The Bright Rosy Morning" and the benediction was pronounced by Rev. J. B. Phillips, pastor of the Tabernacle Baptist church.

At the com pletiojs of this part of the exercises the class wall tendered a banquet, this being held" in the department used by the Domestic. Science and Manual Train ing classes i This proved to be one of the most enjoyable events of the even ing aqd will ever linger, pleasantly in the memory of each one present, V , i : " ; " Today'!

Wa-hingl on. uggi-tion lr-.ni U-iiee .1- to tin 5. ---Willi (he first I he I ii part ment of ii. it of its ''trust- casting" program, Wall street makes i t-how ol Irighi and at once depresses the market. I lii i-- the burden ol the news re ceived in Washington fo owini the announce mint from Attorney-General McReynolds that he is dissatisfied with the decree in the American Tobacco Company dissi lution case and that hi means also to look into the effect of the decree in the Standard Oil case. And this is just exactly what the President has anticipated all a'ong. Such a situation was in his mind when he made his famous Hainan's gallows) speech in New York before the inaug uration and tlie same thing was fore seen by him when he wrote the Tillman) letter insisting that currency legislation should be passed at once lo meet any emergency that might arise. The truth is (here was nothing par ticularly radical about the program of the De part ment of Justice. Yet th esc are the things that have apparently agitated the market and so vastly disturbed Wall street. Coup led to these announcements, of course, was the action of the President in hold ing out that live stock and wheat should go on the free list. This determination on the part of Mr. Wilson is cited as another cause of the depression in the. stock exchanges. In taking, his stand the President let it be known to the Senate Finance Committee that he was opposed to any backtracking in the matter of the market basket. The committee wanted, to put wheat, flour and packing-house products on the dutiable list to make the Underwood bill consistent in this mattei, but the President thought cjn sistency could better be promoted by taking the tariff off cattle and wheat. The market Hurry has, in any event, borne out the Administration's view that emergency currency legislation should be enacted before thi.-. session of Cong rc-s adjourns. There may be no need for il after all, but the President'-, idea is that the parly should play -.ib by being p.epared, if a serious tlU.ltiri.il HtlMlion -hould develop. a-hiiigton due- not -ec m partic ularly alarmed our ill. market cte I oi---i..ii in New York.
