FRIDAY, AUGUST 14, 1925. $2.00 A YEAR IN ADVANCE JUDGE SHAW CITES 1UTHORITY FDR STATEMENT ABOUT KTHEISM Reiterates Charge That Agnostic And Atheists Are Sent Out From Universities. XI,o Cleveland Star has received a communication from Judge Thomas J. Shaw of Greensboro, who held a term of Superior court in Shelby last week, in which he gives figures to prove that universities are sending out students who are atheists and agnostics. It will be remembered that he made the state ment during the first week of court in Shelby that forty per cent of the students turned out by the universities of the country are atheists or agnos tb and his statement was bitterly challenged by members of the faculty of the University of North Carolina and by a number of newspapers ot the state. Now Judge Shaw cites fig ure? to show the basis of his remarks and is willing to meet his critics any, where: His Communication. It seems that certain professors at Chapel Hill and some newspaper men in the state have never seen or heard of the publication of any statistics as to the percentage of agnostics, etc., among the graduates from the univer sities and high colleges of our country At their request I give two instances which ought to convince any' fair minded man, of average intelligence, that sueh publications have been made and there are others, but of course any sensible person will understand that these Writers are not attempting to give the percentage of any parti cular institution, but only an average of all. The fir.-t is from a pamphlet en titled “Modern Education at the Cross-Roads” by M. H. Duncan, M. A., Vale, published by the Bible institute, Colportage association, Chicago, and is as follows: "When the educational leaders turn ed their backs on Biblical Christian ity, they not only made it impossible for the schools to elevate morais, but they made these schools direct agen* ties for the destruction of morals, ana if the present influence in the school* continues for another ten years, the mass of men and women will have test their faith ;n the Bible and Bi ble Christianity, which we all know is the source of moral standards. Even today it is a rare thing to find a I jpunc man from the colleges or uni versities who accepts in full the teach ings of the Bible. Just this: morning *e were reading an extract from a let ter from a young Lutheran, who had been in college only a few months, to hif former pastor, in which he flays |}at Fie can no longer accept the an tfquated teachings of that church. He indicates that his increased knowledge bad caused him to feel that a more lilieral interpreation of the Scriptures »a.< necessary. This young man is only one of ten thousand in the col tepds and universities who are having 'neir faith destroyed* by infidel teach ers who are the more dangerous be tause they still wear the cloak ot Christianity and come to these young People as angels of light. In the name o scholarship and a false science, bey are quietly robbing our children " t!'e faith of their childhoom and estroying in them the basis of real character.” Gives Figures. , PCent data collected by a well n/'''n Professor in one of our colleges, 's n°t himself a believer, indi « that, only 14 per cent of the Psychologists, 18 per cent of the bi pcr cent the sociolo.

He selected one thousand names as representative o* the fifty-five hundred, and addressee them personally. Most of them, he said were teachers in schools cf high er learning. The names were kept con fidential. Upon the answers received, he asserts that over half of them doubt or deny the existence of a per sonal God and a personal immortal ity, and he asserts that unbelief in its proportion to prominence, the per centage < f unbelief being greatest among the most prominent. Among biologist, believers in a personal God numbered less than thirty-one per cent while believes in a personal immortal ity numbered only thirty-seven per cent. “He also questioned the students in nine colleges of high rank and from one thousand answers received, 07 per cent of which were from students be tween eighteen and twenty, he found that unbelief increased from 15 per ent in the freshman class up to 40 to 45 per cent among the men who grad uated. On page 280 of this book we read ‘The students’ statistics show that young people enter college pos sessed of the beliefs still accepted, more or less perfunctorily, in the av. erage home of the land, and gradually abandon the cardinal Christian be liefs.” This change from belief to un belief he attributes to the influence of the persons ‘of high culture under whom they studied.’ This is my first, and perhaps m> last newspaper article, unless-. It any of the professors at Chapel Hill want any further information from me and will apply to me in the prop, er way I will be glad to furnish it to them. I will meet them at any time, at any place that is mutually convenient to both of us, but if they send a re presentative, please do not send on« any “bigger than me” for I will not see him. Don’t send any more tele grams, the only ones I have receiv ed from Chapel Hill reminded me of ‘Salesman Sam”. I dno’t like him. I can read and I can think and talk a little but can’t write much, but I am still unafraid and regardless of the noise that may be made I will contin ue to do business in my usual way.

Kiwanians Reauest Better Mail Service A resolution has been forward ed by the Shelby Kiwanis club to the postoffice denartment request ing that No. 39 be allowed to drop a letter pouch at Kings Mountain for Shelby, to be trans ported here by a taxi. No. 39 a southbound train car ries a heavy letter mail and the granting of the request would mean that the biggest hatch of letters in from the north would reach Shelby eight hours earlier. The resolution was made and for warded by the club after Post master J. H. Quinn had explained to Kiwanians the convenience that would result in having No. 39 drop Shelby mail at Kings Moun tain.

Railway Revivalist To Preach Special Men’s Sermon Sunday Capt. J. L. Hancock, conductor on the Southern railway division which passes Shelby, is holding a wonderful revival meeting at Pleasant Hill Baptist church, six miles southeast of Shelby and great crowds arc at tending. Capt. Hancock is a fine ora tor and when he warms up in the pulpit, he talks straight gospel in the Billy Sunday fashion. On Wednesday when he preached on “Life’s Burd ens,” fully two thirds of the congre gation went forward for prayer. “The Price of a Hair Cut in a Wo man’s Barber Shop” is the subject of his sermon which will be preached to men only on Sunday afternoon at 4 o’clock. There will be nothing ob jectionable to a female at this service, but Mr. Hancock prefers to give the men the benefit of the seats at this special service. He has just closed a three weeks meeting at Elloree, S. C., and goes next Monday to Burkemont, near Morganton where he starts a meet ing to continue a week. Capt. Hancock is one of the most popular men on the Southern railway. Each summer he ge*s a leave of ab sence from the company and takes his vacation in preaching the gospel. It is quite probable that he will move to Shelby and make his head quarters, since the railroa 1 is put ting in a “Y” in South Shelby for the purpose of establishing a terminal here. Waco School Opens Monday August 17 (Special To The Star.) Waco, Aug. 12.—Principal I. ,T. Kellum, who spent the summer on the coast, has recently returned and is busy getting things in readiness for' the opening of school Monday Aug ust 17. A very able corps of teachers has been selected and indications point toward a successful school year. Mr. Kellum is insisting that every pupil should enroll the first day. A good beginning is half the battle. A tuition charge of $1.00 per month for high school pupils and $2.00 per month for grade pupils will be made this year for two months—the first two months that pupils are actually in school. This tuition applies to all pupils not in the Waco district and becomes necessary because of the ex pense incurred by tiie school in tak ing care of its increased enrollment. ; The vote in the election held on July 27 to determine whether or not; the Beam and Buelah districts should be consolidated with the Waco dis trict showed a majority of 85, in favor I of consolidation. This was a much larger majority than that in the elec- j tion held last -fjfll, which wa v' annull ed because of a technicality In the 1 tition calling for the election. The list of seventh grade pupils successfully passing the county ex amination for entrance into the high school follows: Zella Goforth, Mildred Hord, Kate Whitworth, Arthur Stroup, Marvin Putnam, Clayton Cline, J. A. Black, Viola Black, Eve-: lyn Hord, Jennie Barrett, Carlyle Smith. Summio Patterson. Charged With Counterfeit. Tried to Raise *>2 Itill and Pass it as Twentv. Summie Patterson, white man aged about .'15 years, wasbeing held in jail here this week awaiting a hearing in Federal court on the charge of coun terfeiting. An attempt at passing a $2 bill for twenty dollars resulted in his arrest Monday by city officers. Patterson, who has been at Way. nesvillc for some time, was in Shelby this week and last. Sometime Monday he entered the store of John Queen in South Shelby and attempted to pass the marked-up bill. However, he failed in his purpose and the store pro prietor becoming suspicious notified the officers. Later in the evening he was apprehended, the bill, crude, hand-made stamps and other coun terfeiting accessories being found on his person. Before United States Commissioner John P. Mull Tuesday he was bound over to Federal court under bond of $500. Immediately after his arrest Federal officers became in terested and Deputy Coin was here investighting the matter Tuesday. The stamps were cut by hand out of rubber with the figures carved with jagged edges. Apparently using white ink Patterson had used the stamp with the figure “20” on each corner of the bill, attempting, to obliterate the "2’* in the center. No other money wai> found on his person and it could not be learned whether or not he had atempted to pass any of the raised bills prior to Monday. Last week, it is said, Patterson, considered purchasing an automobile1 from a local dealer, but the transac tion was never consummated, the deal er being suspicious Of a check that would have had to be taken in the consideration.

Princess Installs Air Cooling System A long step forward in the theatri cal circles of Shelby was taken when the Beam Bros., managing the Prin cess theatre, installed the Arctic Nu Air cooling system. The outfit con sists of two huge suction fans, run by electric motors, each of which draws in 40,000 cubic feet of fresh clean air per minute and distributes it throughout the building, the used air finding its way out of the front of the building. A distinctive feature is the fact that the machines are set out in the open air, and consequently the free flow of tjie ozone is unob structed by walls. The breezes set in motion can be felt over the entire building, and one could easily imagine himself upon the top of Blowing Rock. The Princess is at present the only theatre in North Carolina fitted with this cooling apparatus and many pa trons have stated that no theatre in the several larger towns can surpass it in coolness. service.

Boiling Springs, Aug. 11.—The open ing Monday of the nineteenth session of Boiling Springs high school was very gratifying, indeed. Notwithstand ing the fact that the places pf the 63 members of the senior class of 1924. 26 were to be filled and that the ex. tended drought of North and South Carolina has made it impossible for many of our friends to put their chil dren in school, the enrollment to date is more than 166 with new students coming in every day. Miss Clark, a new member of the faculty, is the head of the art depart ment and teacher of French and fresh mnn P'nglish. Miss Clark, by her quiet, refined personality, has made a fine impression. Miss Harris, another new member of the faculty, was unable to be here for the opening on account of a serl. ous accident just before she planned to leave home. In trying to stop a run-awuy car in which was her six* year-old niece, Miss Harris was thrown against the curbing and suf- - fered a fractured knee-cap. Her cour age and cheerfulness have won for her many admirers. Miss Harris will have charge of sophomore English and math. Miss Jones the director of music Is with her usual good cheer, ready for work. Her many friends were delight ed to see her. Miss Garrison, the head of the home economics was among the first to to come in of course we were all so glad to gret her. Professor Wells and Professor Wood are here to help make Boilihg Springs ore of th. leading high schools of this state. They, too, received a hearty welcome. Professor HugginB and Professor Hamrick are in their places, so busy that one rarely has a chance for a quiet chat with either of them. Of course everybody is glad they ar« here. ,,t Mrs. Huggins, one of the best loved former teachers of B. S. H. S„ is in charge of the Latin department. The school is very fortunate indeed, to have so fine a teacher in charge of this impbrtnnj; subject. Our frieuds need not fear that their boys and girls will lose faith in the Bible, by being under the influence of the faculty of Boiling Springs high school. Anyone planning to enter school can ndt do better than to come harm Our students certainly get some things worth while that lire not found in ordinary schools. , $ X F.TJA.
