Preacher Converted His Lynchers Once Pmbou Missouri Preacher And Pol Itlcal Ora.or Kept His Head CvoL Up to Iowa the Civil war is now only a part of history which chil dren learn in school as they do the war of 1812, and the Revolution, and the grown folks give it little thought end no weight in modern affairs, so thoroughly has the late unpleas antness been forgotten. In Keokuk, where all the Iowa »<>!dl«rs were mobilized and given their training before being sent to the front, were also four large base hospitals to which wounded and sick soldiers were brought up the Mississippi river in steamboats. Some of them were Confederate prisoners, and now on every May 30, the Koekuk people decorate the graves of the, Confederate dead in Its National cemetery, the same as they do the graves of their own sol diers. When Blood Was Hot. One of the large hospitals there was at that time the highest busi ness building in America, covering a quarter block of ground, which is now being rased to be replaced with • modern business building. Living In the adjoining Missouri county was Henry Olay Dean, fire eating Con federate sympathizer, one of the moat powerful preachers America ever saw, and an orator seldom equalled to this nation. How Mood was hot in those his toric days in the North as well as the South is shown by a dramatic story o4 an attempt to lynch Henry Clay Dean by convalescents in the big hospital which was recounted recently by J. W. Murphy, editor of the Burlington, Iowa, Saturday Boat, at a meeting of the old set tlers,of Claris county, Missouri, which adjoins Keokuk, Iowa, and to w|>!ch Henry Clay Dean lived. Mr. Murphy told his auditors: Made Speech That Displeased. During the Civil war, the Estes Housf block on Main street, in Keo kuk, was used as a hospital for con valescing Union soldiers. Mr. Dean was much to and about Keokuk, and his attitude on the war was resented by Union,-then and particularly by the soldiers to the hospital. One afternoon Mr. Dean had made a Democratic speech at Canton and to got on the boot going to Keo ; '.t. Information of his speech had »ded him, and the convalescing ;icr» gathered to the number of i era! hundred and massed them ves to the street in front of the , a where Mr. Dean was a guest. hey called to him to come out r ‘ the hotel as they wanted to hang l.JO. Some Quick Thinking. Nov. whatever may have been Mr. Dean’s weaknesses, physical fear was not one of them; he came right out, and asked them to do him no harm. The spokesman for the mob were in exorable and warned Dean to pre pare for the execution which would take place in a few minutes. "Surely, men, you will not kill me without giving me time to communi cate with my dear wife and chil dren?” queried Dean. "Give him 15 minutes,” came a voice from the street. "All right,” said the leader, “we will give you 15 minutes to write a farewell letter—then you swing." He Needed Fresh Air. However, this was not just what Dean wapted, so he said: "There are a lot of my friends here in this crowd. I prefer to talk to them and let them carry my message to my family—I am in no condition or frame of mind to write anything as I am going to be murdered in a few minutes.” "All right again,” said the leader, “go ahead and tell your message to your friends.” "New,” said Mr. Dean, having got what he wanted 'gathered around me as much as you please, but don't come too close.

I want to die like a man. and I can't do it without plenty of fresh air. Give me the sidewalk for 20 feet, so that I can talk. You peo ple stay out in the street and watch me as close as you please, and you are welcome to hear every word I say.'* Talking For His Life. Again the leader of the mob agreed to Mr. Dean's conditions and pushed the crowd back off of the, i sidewalk into the stret, ‘You are right,” said the leader. ‘‘Of coursej you can't live without air; we know that.” j Without further delay Mr. Dean; I began his last message to his loved ones. He pictured his home at j Rebel's Cove. Mo., and had expres-1 sions of endearment for his wife; and children. He deplored the circumstances that had served to bring the North, and the South into deadly conflict i and predicted dire punishment for the conspirators responsible for it. Gradually he turned the affair in to an old fashioned revival meeting; ! and as the interest in his fascinat ing oratory increased and sentiments of applause and approval were heard, he announced that the curb ing at the edge of the walk would serve as a mourner bench, and urg ed all sinners to come forward and join him in prayer for the forgive ness of their sins. Stage Big Rally For Max Gardner Big Demonstration Carried Out At Washington Despite Nom inee’s Absence. Washington, N. C., Oct. 19.—The flare of hundreds of gleaming tor ches, the raucous sounds of cow bells, horns and other nolse-mak ing devices, the blare of a large brass band, playing the popular campaign selection of the day, the long line of several hundred mar chers from half a dozen counties 1 and the cheers of additional hun dreds who thronged the sidewalks and streets watching the spectacu lar parade, all combined here to night in giving eastern North Caro lina its greatest and most spectacu lar political rally, the most enthu siastic that has been held here in more than a score of years. It was a vociferous demonstration, staged primarily for the purpose of doing honor to O. Max Gardner, Democratic candidate for governor, and also as an evidence of the over whelming support that is being manifested throughout this section for the national Democratic ticket. It was, therefore, with keen regret that word was received in Washing ton early today that Mr. Gardner was confined to his home at Shel by with illness and would be unable to attend the great rally. Instead of abandoning its plans, the committee in charge of the parade announced that the mere fact of Mr. Gardner’s inability to be present could not by any means dampen this section’s enthusiasm for either him or the national tick et. They sent out a hurry call for a speaker and there was general ela tion when it Became known that J. C. B. Ehringhaus, Elizabeth City’s gifted orator, would be present at the rally. And so, at 7 o’clock the crowds be gan gathering on the streets. The parade formed on West Main street. Scores of placards, designating dif ferent divisions of the parade were carried on tail standards. There were delegations present from every precinct in Beaufort county, as well as large representations from Hyde, Pitt, Martin, Craven and other coun ties in this section. There were a large number of women marchers, carrying banners which noted their adherence to ‘ A1 and Max.” Every available seat in the huge auditorium of the John H. Small school was taken. Standing room was at a premium. Follow ing the singing of several campaign songs, led by Edmund Harding. Congress man Warren read a telegram from Mr. Gardner expressing his regret i at being unable to attend. And then, Mr. Warren read a telegram ! which was being sent by the Demo cratic executive committee on be half of Beaufort county as h whole; pledging the most loyal support to Mr. Gardner in nis campaign for election as governor and also dur ing his administration as governor. The crowd roared its approval of! both messages. Barbs. The Graf Zeppelin has been here several days now and no couples have been married on it yet.

Behind The Scenes In Hollywood By DOKOTH1 HERZOG (Copyright 192S Premier Syndicate) ! Hollywood.—-Mingled cries eman ated from Walter Morosco’s office Even a disinterested male would have been a-twitter with curiosity. Hence ray curiosity simmered to the point where I dared knock imper iously and eagerly to the Invitation "Come in.” Mr. Morosco sat rocking in his swivel chair, grinning. Forrest Hal sey, scenarist for the Corinr.e Grif fith pictures, sat grinning. Gene Towne, the youthful gag man and title writer for Miss G.’s flickers, stood innocently in the middle of the floor. "Anything wrong?” I queried hopefully. "Nothing, Nothing 'atall," beamed the irresponsible Gene. 'Walker here turned down my subtitles and I'm Just trying to earn my weekly sal ary. Whereupon he commenced turn- : ing handsprings, running up and ■ down the desks and hopping on one l foot. "I'm getting out of here," Forrest roared, ‘before that guy lands in my vest pocket.” He fled. “I can't take a chance either,” cried Walter. He fled. Gene smiled. "There's gratitude for you.” And the two of us saun tered out on the First National lot. This Gene Towns is what may be popularly termed a character. He’s just a kid—twenty-four. He earns around $650 a week. He ‘ gagged" Corinne’s last flicker, ‘'Outcast," and he’s doing ditto for her forth coming one, "Saturday’s Children.” He has written a play which Fannie Brice wants to produce. He has written another that Jed Harris wants to chaperon. He's going to i collaborate with Forrest Halsey on | one. Gene's chief distinction is dis regard for his moustache. He rates , the only man I have ever seen with ■ a lip decoration who doesn’t yank I at it to be sure 'tis still in place. When Corinne Griffith was four years old she ran away with a cir ! CUS. She did too. The Griffith fam i ily had moved to a small town in , Texas. Corinne's father was a rail i road man, so they arrived in a pri ; vate car, thereby aweing their fu ture neighbors no end. A circus i__ CORINNE GRIFFITH came to town. Corinne followed the beautiful red wagon. The circus folk made the four year old wel come. Her mother was worried sick. ■Her father set forth to find her, and the town being liliputian he suc ceeded. Corinne, to his despair, set up an awful howl. She didn't want to go home. She liked the circus. Being a delicate child, she had always won ■ her way. Mr. Griffith yielded. He did more. He bought the circus! When Mrs. Griffith heard this she packed up her baggage and with the other two children departed for mother's house in a nearby town. The next day the sheriff came to see Mr. Griffith. Seemed there were matters of law to be settled not mentioned by the former circus' owner. Mr. G. returned the tent and the freaks with his compli ments. Mrs. G returned to the fireside and Corinne forgot the beautiful red wagon. Dr. Poteat Warns Against Church Entering Politics I Cites Examples Of Christ In Shun ning Political Policies to Gain Objectives Church Higher Chapel Hill—"The church of ! Christ cannot enter politics,” Dr. William Louis Poteat, president emeritus of Wake Forest college, de clared here in the last of his three lectures before the unversity school of religion. Dr. Poteat made the statement in the course of a discussion of "re ' ligion and business and government and the Christs Way.” i "When Jesus was meditating his ' plans in the Jordan solitudes it was j suggested to him that he adopt the political policy which had proven successful in the kingdom’s estab lished before his day,” Dr. Poteat said. "But Jesus repudiated the sug gestion under the most solemn sanc tions. He would win his kingdom, not by force, but by an inward spir tual ministry. He would achieve so cial righteousness by the leaven of individual righteousness;” .>u instructions. “Jesus left no specifications for the construction of his regenerate social order, no creed, no code of laws, no instructions in the duties of citizenship. He spoke no word about political institutions, but he is the only radical and sure reform er of them. And that because he deals with men, not mechanisms, with the springs of action, not ac tivities, It follows that his church cannot enter politics ” In stating his position regarding the church and politics, Dr. Poteat said: "Allow me to suggest a second preliminary caution. The Christian i church is an organized community j of those who accept Christ as sav-1 ior and Lord and are committed to realizing his ideal in the life of the world. It is the nurse and train er of the Christian life, an agency through which the Christian im pulse may express itself in worship, in realizing the personal ideal of Christian character and service and the social idea! of the Kingdom of God. It is not the kingdom of God, but the instrument and agency of the Kingdom for winning its uni versal sway.” SHELBY PARTY RETURNS FROM TENNESSEE TOWN Messrs. William Lineberger, Jul ius A. Suttle and Herbert Blanton composed a party that returned the last of the week from a trip to VempMs, Tcnn., where they visit the 1 De'.ry lius is in reality a composite agricultural exposition of interna tional scope. Mr. Lineberger de scribed it as being" of an extent the vastness of which is difficult to realize. There was exhibits from most of the states of the union, and from as far away as Canada. Twenty-nine train loads of visitors, he said, roll ed into the Tennessee city the day the Shelby party arrived—folks from all over the United States— wearing sombreros from Texas, and homespun from far away Wiscon sin. The banker called attention to the great come-back of the southern states devastated by the boll wee vil, in the matter of dairying. He said North Carolina was one of the few commonwealths not represent ed, although a sister state, South Carolina, took a number of prizes.

Texas—Replying to the charge made by Senator Simmons at New Bern, N. C . that the Demo crats are conducting a ‘two-fac ed campaign" on the prohibition question, Albert S. Burleson of Aus tin. who was postmaster general in the cabinet of President Wilson, said that Senator Simmons, "like Mc Adoo, is absolutely frenzied in his support of prohibition" and "be cause of his disappointment at Secretary McAdoos failure to get j the nomination for president, in 1920 and 1924, and the complete collapse of McAdoos political strength this year he has become sorely grieved and bitter and conse quently his views are jaundiced and his judgment clouded.” Mr. Burleson declared that Governor Smith's campaign has been frank and courageous in all his declarations, and not one of the leading opposition newspapers has charged that he has repudiated his party's platform on prohibition or any other Issue. "Bigotry, ignorant religious intol erance. alone, are moving these peo ple to abandon the political convic tions of a life-time," declared Mr. Burleson. "Now. let us apply the acid test." Mr. Burleson continued. "Suppose Woodrow Wilson were alive and was the nominee of the Democratic party at this time. He was at all times an j anti-prohibitionist. He was against, the eighteenth amendment. He veto ed the sacred Volstead act. He was wetter than Cox, Davis or Smith. Now. 'Honest Injun,’ how many of these bolters would be opposing his i election?
