THE BIBLE—THE GREATEST MIRACLE It was absolutely impossible for the authors of the hooks of the Bible, about, thirty in number, to have aimed concerning its main truths, unless they were under the infkn e of some power that oontrolh',1 ad! they had to say. It was 1,500 years from Mo <•« John. It was KM) years from Isaiah to Ezra. They did not know eh h o'Ik.' They lived in <!:ff• ivn; hires of t. world, were of varied rat iot dit i. -, temperament- abilities, nlarnfion and experience, but t)w\ all tel! the same story without the di-Jite-t de v inf ion.

Once i stood in the village of Nain, and gazed upon the traditional mount of transfiguration. I remember the record in Matthew of the voice from heaven: “This is my beloved Son in whom 1 am well pleased.'' It is our privilege to read in the first chapter id 2 Peter: "We have also a more furo word prophecy with which we do well to take heed as to a light that shineth in it dark place until the day dawns, and the day ..tar arises in our heart.’’ When 1 Wits ■< hoy a large kite I 1 was flying was suddenly hidden from j s ght by a bank of fog rolling in ; from .ill.'can. A man passing by j ■aid: “What are you doing, my boy?”j “Plying a kite,’ I answered. “Yes hut j I don't see any' kite." “Take hold of ! tlrs string, and you will feel it pull,” Wits the boys answer. The words of the Holy Writ are the strings to our kite. We have only to grasp the string, and we shall feel the pull of I the hidden kite of laith.—Watchman Examiner. MRS.

She was J a constant sufferer from external can- i oer tor a number of years and had. resorted to many and costly treat ments with hut little relief at any time for the past several months she had! been confined to her home and had i hoon expected to die most any time ^ for more than a week. 1 he funeral was conducted at thej Methodist church Monday afternoon in the presence of a large concourse of people who had met to pay the last, tribute of respect to one. of the* town's l est, known women. The excellent flor al tribute hole silent testimony to the esteem in which the department was held by those who knew her. Plenty of Water. Morgan ton News-Herald. After the tannery fire surely no body will say that Morgunton made a mistake in providing a supply of wa ter by gravity that is more than ade quate for our actual need.-. Without| plenty of water the fire work of the I firemen Saturday would have been! wasted. It is simply providential that this lire did not come (luring that pe riod just before the present system I when water was so scarce at times j that there was hardly mere .than j enough drinking wat r to go around.! It s not hard to remember when the admonition to "save water’J was fro-! ouently given. If the tannery fire had occurred I o'er years ago the entire J plant would most probably h ive been ■ i)i ashes today. In this instance alone i the wisdom of gravity system luc been proven beyond argument. LONGER RUNS FOR THE SOUTHERN UY.

A recent issue of the Now York 'rimes says: “The story of how a North Carolina ta •tner, who had an especial faith in his ability to rad aright the trend of the cotton market, made more than $25,0il0 in Cotton futures in New 't ork arid hid it away somewhere in the city while on a brief excursion here -just where no one knows—has just been disclosed in attempts to find this money on behalf of his heir-. “Lawyers and private investigator are inquiring at hanks and searching safety deposit vaults and otimr like ly hiding- places for the money in an effort to solve the secret taken to his grave by A. 1<\ Bobbitt, a wealthy cotton and tobacco planter of Halifax county, North Carolina. He made the money in New York and hid it here, but tailed to reveal its biding place before he died. “Carrying $16,000 in cash in an old ear net bag the Southern planter am bled into tiie office of (iwathniey & Co., cotton brokers, one morning .seventeen or eighteen years ago. lie wanted to buy cotton futures and he was introduced to Mr. Uurdett, who at that time was a customers’ man for Gwallimey & Co. Cnder instruc tions of tire planter the transactions in the cotton market was effected over a period of three or four weeks. The market did not falter. It follow ed almost exactly the predictions of .the planter, and he was able to cash i in at the end of that time with a j handsome profit. Mr. Burden's best j recollection is that the pith'd: was j $20,000. Th? lawyers believe that the I total sum hidden away may have in I .eluded not only the profit but the I principal as well, and that the total | is about $40,000. “Mr. Bobbitt died hr! fall. Before death he confided t-r J. M; John..ton of Littleton, X. C , and I . hi. “later that his estate in Nor th 'Carolina would be between £200,000 and i 000 and that *he has as much more in Mew York.’ His.beneficiaries doubt, however, that any moneys o') deposit in New York amount to more than $40,000. The heirs have placed the matter in the hands of Mr. Johnston and Hoy Davis, of War: enton. N. ('., who have taken the job on a hie i: of a 10 per ca nt re.urn in ease the mon ey is found, and have retained ib'orge Cordon Battle to direct the search’ for liio hidden fortune, here."
