McCorkle, of Spartanburg, S, C, who came in on the local train Sunday evening, had her nose cut, by the glass from a car window, which was shivered by a rock thrown into the train near Blacksburg. . Mrs. McCorkle was resting her head by the window frame at the time. . The rock knocked a hole in the glass just in front of her face. Hei hat was filled with small particles of glass, as was also a boquet which was in her lap. . . The passengers in the car were alarm ed at the noise made, by the shivered glass, and the train was brought to a stop. Some of the passengers joined the train hands in a search for the rock thrower,, but he could not be found. The affair was reported to the agent at Blackaburg, and an officer was sent out to investigate, but up to lust accounts no arrests had been made. The engin eer saw three white boys standing on an embankment at the scene of the affair, and it is thought that one of them threw the rock. Gives Naryland More Citizens. Cumberland, Md., Not. 22.

Subject of Last Night's - ' Sermon. LARGE CROWD PRESENT TO HEAR REV. MR, NEEDHAM PREACH -MUCH INTEREST MANIFESTED. The Greatest Meeting Yet Held-Many Conversions,' and Others Going Up to Be Prayed For-Servlces Continued. There was another great audience at the Tabernacle Baptist church last night to listen to Evangelist Needhaim, and to engage in the worship of God. The crowd was not so large as Sun day night, when the-audience room of the spacious church, and the Sunday school annex -were filled, tout erery seat in the large audience room was taken and extra chairs had to be brought in. A spirited devotional and song service was held during the opening fifteen minutes, and the great audience swelled out ithe songs grand and strong. Evangelist Needhaim spoke from John 19:30, on the finished work of Christ. Christ, said the speaker, cried out seven times while on the cross: First to the Father "Father, forgive them;" 2nd, to the thief, "This day thou shalt be with toe." And said be you who are waiting Kill tine eleventh hour, as the Ibief to toe saved, remember that the other thief, just as close to the Savior, was lost. Don't put off your salvation till death comes; it will then be too late. The third cry to John: "Son, behold thy mother;" 4th, to the Father, a cry of sorrow: "Why hast thou forsaken me?' 5th, "I thurst" Christ never asked the world for anything but twice, and was both times refused. - Of the woman at the well of Sychar, he asked a drink of water and was refused until he discovered he was the Messiah. On the cross he again thirsted, and they gave Hm Tinegar; 6th, a cry of com- mital: "Father, .nto thy hands I com mit my spirit;" seventh, the text: "It is finished." What was finished 7 The atonement for sin; the victory over death, bell and the grave; the fulfill ment of the promises; salvation for man. This promise of a finished salvation was given to Eve, to the patriarchs and prophets and through them to the world and was finished on the cross. A beautiful lesson was given, show ing bow, when Sampson sinned then be was shorn of bis strength, and the spirit of God left him. "Though the devil may cut the christian's hair very close sometimes, thank God be cannot pull out tbe roots," said the preacher with much unction. . This cry was a shout of triumph over the devil. Christ snatched us from the jaws of death, from the power of the lion, from the mouth of the dog Tbe speaker here a gave a beautiful illus tration of a timid young woman saving a pet rabit from the jaws of a dog, and made-application of it to the subject in band. . The cry was to a lost guilty world, assuring them then that "Nothing either great or small Remains for me to do; Jesus died and paid ft- all, Yes, all the debt I owe." It -was the cry of sufferer. No suffering was tike that of Jesus; and It was voluntarily endured for the salva tion of the sinner. . - . It was also the cry of the Savior, of one who is able to save to the utter most all who come unto Him for salva tion, and. of one who stands and pleads with men to accept this salvation. It was the cry ot a oonquerer.. When Christ rose from the tomb be bad con quered death, bell and the grave, and there was no more sacrifice to be made; it bad been made once for all and acepted of God. ' The preacher in closing made an earn est appeal to the unconverted to accept tbe finished work of Christ and -be saved. '- :v . i . y A large number manifested an inter est in their personal salvation to ask ing for prayers. In the afteMneettajr great Interest was manifested and many lingered and Inquired the way of salvation. There were several profession and many back sliders reclaimed. . . - ' "'.''."

He is thoroughly familiar with tbe word of God and handles It With '. ease 1 and DELIGHTFUL MUSICALE. Will Be Given at the Yarbero House December 2.- .
