Fireworks and Free Attractions. Those who throng the midway and flands for the nightly events will wit ness the biggest array of fireworks ever seen in Western Carolina. The display last year of every night com bined will not equal the thrilling ‘nread of fiery, flaming figures, roar ing rockets, and sizzling shoots of Jt'st one night this year.

Appeal for Money. Kiii^s Mountain First Baptist church will be host to the next annual meeting of the Kings Mountain Baj* tist association which will be held Wednesday and Thursday before tho first Sunday in October, 1:726, accord ing to the report of the committee on time and place of which Kev. J. V. Devenny was chairman on the closing day of the association here Thursday. Rev. G. P. Abernethy was named to preach the introductory sermon and Rev. Zeno Wall who is coming to the pastorate of the First Baptist church, Shelby the first Sunday in October, is to preach the doctrinal sermon. Immodesty Condemned. After Rev. C. .1. Woodson had read and spoke on the report of the com mittee on temperance and public mor als in which he condemned liquor in no uncertain terms and asked the Bap tists to support the officers in luw enforcement, Rev. C. J. Black of Kings Mountain, brought foitli ‘aniens’ from the congregation when he declared that the swimming pools and Sunday golf are two things that arc lowering the morals of the people and destroying the modesty of wo manhood more than anything else. A r,catching denunciation of modern swimming pools as breeding places ol vice and immodesty and as dangerous factors in the destruction of the very foundation of society brought forth, words of approval of what Mr. BlacK was saying from his congregation which unanimously voted to incor porate his denunciation of swimming I pools and Sunday golf in the report 1 presented by Mr. Woodson. Other Reports. Rev. J. M. Goode read the report on ! obituarigji on which he pointed out that 70 faithful church members hac. died during year. Rev. J. R. Green presented the cause of the orphanage and Mr. Fuller B. Hamrick, a local product of whom the county is justly proud, brought before the association the great needs of the Thomasville orphanage which is having to borrosS j money to tide over the summer months. C. J. Black spoke on educa tion on the closing day and much at tention was given to Boiling Spring! high school which is doing such won derful work in this section of North Carolina, having among its large'stri dent body over 20 young men who are preparing themselves for Chris tian service. George Blanton read the financial report which disclosed un paid obligations from over half of t ~e 42 churches in the association to sup port the associational Sunday schoc4 worker, Mr. A. V. Washburn. All through the association there was a distressing call for money to support the various branches of the church. Baptists have broadened their fiends of usefulness and unless there is a more hearty response to the needs, the denomination is bound to draw in. The people are more pros perous than ever before but most ot their prosperity is spent on things for their own enjoyment and the va rious causes which the denomination supports are suffering thereby. Rev. John W. Suttle, w 'derator of the association was named delegate to the Southern Baptist convention with Rev. C. J. Black, alternate J. M. Wilson, A. P. Spake, Max Gardner, B. P. Jenkins and John P. Mull were named lay delegates to the state con vention. „ ; OVER FIFTY HORSES ENTERED FOB RACES The racing program at the fair this week promises to be one of the out standing turf occasions of the North and South Carolina Trotting associa tion.
