ONE OF CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR
SUNRISE AYER-MEETINGS.
Tho Boston Convention the Greatest
for Christian Workers the World
Has Ever Seen-Greetings From
Nine Different Lands.

The second day of the Boston Chris
tlan Endeavor Convention was opened
by twenty sunrise prayer-meetings.
That in the StOughton Street Baptist
Church was led by Rev. A. d.
Thpler, of Winston. At $50 in three
crowded meetings the cardinal princi-
pies of c. E. were presented by
English, American, AUSTRALIANS
Scotch, Irish and Canadian Endeavor-
ers of prominence. State banners
were awarded for the greatest proper
tionaGe increase in the number Of local
societies and for the greatest absolute
gain in The number of societies Jun
lor State banners were also presented
Three open parliamentS were then
held, on 1.-THE pledge, the backbone"
the committees, the feet and
hands" and 1.-The convention meeting,
the heart of the society" The second
was conducted by Rev. A. j. Rond-
thaler, ID. D., of indianapolis, who
won for himself anew his characterf-
zation as The Indiana Cyclone" His
torceful and often Witty leadership
drew forth from the large audience d
perfect treasury of painted aud help
ful suggestion. In the two tents were
also given twO-minute reports from
the denominational rallies held yes
terday afternoon.
The entire afternoon was devoted
to School of Practical Methods of
Committee Work, held in the fifteen
different churches, one committee or
line of work being considered in each.
AT , O'Clock reception was given by
the United Society to ali the officers
of State and Territorial Unions. in
CotillI0n Hall. This was IL most en-
joyablc event, and all the prominent
workers, from every part Of the land,
had the opportunity Of personally
meeting and briefly cOnversing with
the leaders of the great move ment,
and the Board Of Trustees that gives
it backbone of solid thought aud
churchly authority.
The three evening sessions were
again crowded and the waves of song
that rolled up from the great con
courses OF people were thrilling in
deed. Each meeting is thus preceded
by quarter or half hour of song ser
vice, and by the time this is over all
are ready to hear the good things
that follow. Chaplain ID. III. TribOn,
of the United States Navy, gave
ringing address on "Christian En-
deavOr in the Navy" He traced the
extension of the new navy and said
that Christian Endeavor and new
navy were about the same age. The
first United States Navy floating
society was organized in November,
1892, although Miss Antoinette =.
James, OF Falmouth, Mass, had be-
gun G. K. work on the sea in 1890
There are now 800 G. L. sailors, on %
Warships.
An interesting feature followed in
a parliament of Nations" with four
minute greetings from nine different
lands.
The weather thus far has been per-
feet and every blessing seems to be
coming down upon this the greatest
convention of Christian workers that
the world has ever seen.

BAXTER SHEMWELL FREE
THE JURY RETURN A VERDICT
OF NOT GUILTY.
Decision Reached at $50 This Morn
ing-The Prisoner Set Free-The
Verdict a Surprise to Many-Mr.
c. B. Watson's Fine Speech.
mot guilty r say the jury.

mot guilty. !" say the jury.
Baxter Shemwell, who shot and
killed Or. r. L. Payne, in Lexington,
last February, was set free last
Monday by the twelve men who said
by their verdict that he was not gull
ty Of any crime.
The decision was rendered at $50
a. N. that day and the prisoner was at
once told to go free.
The verdict is surprise to many
people, who were of the opinion that
the case would end in a mistrial (by
the jury failing to agree) or verdict
of manslaughter.
The trial of Shemwell, was. con-
cluded about II o'clock Saturday night
at least the jury took the case at
| that hour. Judge Boykin's charge
was an exhaustive one. He reviewed
the divisions of murder into the first
and second degrees of manslaughter.
The speeches ON Saturday by Messrs:
g. B. Watson and ex-Judge r. F..
| Armfield and Jacob Long were mas
terly efforts. They are said to be as
fine arguments as have been heard in
the State for years.
MR. wATsoN's FINE EFFORT.
In his report of Mr.. Watson's speech,
in the Raleigh News and Observer,
Mr.. w. E. Christian says that he
made all feel the magnetism that
seems to be peculiar to the man. His
defense dived into every mock and
corner of heart and mind. Mr.. Wat
son has talent for finding open places
and putting the point of the rapier
there. His close may be justly termed
thrilling. 1t was felt by every one in
the room, as he touched upon the
loyalty and love OF Shemwell's wife,
who seems to have the deep sympathy
of all. She sat with her face flooded
with bitter tears and seemed almost
convulsed as Mr.. Watson, stirred to
his depths, arms uplifted, voice up
raised in plea of mercy, whose pas
sion forced its way, pointed to the
wretcheo woman, telling how in the
midst Of darkness, she had been as the
fixed star, and how when the stronger
testimony of the State came first
rolling In, wave after wave, she
faltered not nor tainted, but her voice
was heard above 1T all, Courage
counsel, courage. courage :" Mr..
Watson had made the atmosphere for
this exclamation and its force was ir-
resistible for the moment, and little
Dermott leaned his head upon his
father and sobbed as if his heart
would break, Shemwen the while
wiping the tears awey from the eyes.
The reporter for the Charlotte OBJ
server says: "No speech was looked
forward to with more interest than
that of Mr.. Watson, and he did not
disappOint his friends, for he made a
grand speech for the defendant, not
leaving an inch of ground unturned
or a fact unpresented. The jury
had their eyes on him, every now
and then asserting with nod of the
head"
A member of one of Winston's lead
ing law firms remarked Saturday af-
ternoon that he was confident that
Mr.. Watson made the strongest and
most powerful speech during the long
and tedious trial.

Railroad Employees killed.

The last report of the Interstate
Railway Commission states that in
were ], 1923 railroad employees killed
and %, 423 wounded, a slight decrease
over the preceding year. That's more
men than Japan lost in the war with
China. Many of these accidents are
doubtless the results of carelessness
either of those who suffer or of others,
aud many might have been prevented
by better appliances, as shown by the
fact that Isl OF the deaths resulted
from coupling and uncoupling cars,

The receipts on our leaf market
nowadays are light, and Of the kind

ly all of last years crop has already
been marketed. The breaks are made
up largely of odds and ends.
Prices are stiff, with good demand
and eager bidding whenever a desira-
BILE pile is put up.
The scarcity of good stock on the
loose market has caused manufacture
ers to make of late considerable pur-
chases from dealers. There is quite a
brisk business being done by local
commission men in package goods, and
it appears to be satisfactory all
around.
The growing crop is doing well.
Our manufacturers are doing a
great deal of work, and are sending
off quite quantity OF goods. 1t is

part of North Cardinals "moral vine
yard"
Constable Wilcox and G. A. Baxley,
of Lewis Fork township, were tried
before magistrate and bound over to
the Superior Court in Il bond of 5000
each. They are charged with an
assault upon fellow named Plyler
Huffman. The story goes that the

low" for breaking into Baxley's store.
Huffman charges that in taking him
to the magistrates trial, they tied
him around the neck .and hung him
up a while, trying to get him to own
to the stealing. The constable and
Wilcox say they only tied him to keep
him from getting away. The case
will make an interesting one for next
court.

CHICAGO RELIGIOUS ROW.
Catholic Church Attacked by Angry
POles-Mass Celebrated Under
Police Guard.

Chicago, Mch. 15.-About 200 angry
Poles, men and women, stormed st. He'd
wigs Catholic church at North Hoyne
avenue and Kosiusco street to-day. The
five policemen who were on guard were
cowed by the mob, but on the arrival of re-
inforcements the rioters were driven off.
There has been trouble in that parish for
many weeks. Father Barskinsky was
driven out three weeks ago and the Poles
were called upon to protect the church
property. Father Barskinsky belonged
to.the order of Resurrectionists, which
was objected to.
Archbishop Feehan sent Father Zyola-
czyk to the church, but when it was dis
covered that he, too, was Resurectionist
he was rejected. The church was closed
and locked for two weeks and last night
the parishioners determined to oppose
the re-opening of the edifice. Early to-
day 200 Poles marched to the church, de-
nouncing the priest and declaring that
they would prevent him from serving
mass. In few minutes two patrol
wagons loaded with officers drove up to
the church on the run. The angry crowd
stood for few minutes when forty Poles.
with guns in their hands, marched into
the church. Some of the police officers
informed the mob in their native tongue
that the police had orders to shoot. That
settled it, and moment later the crowd
fed from the church. Antoine, who
seemed to be the ringleader, is being
searched for. A priest then celebrated
mass under guard of detail Of police.

La Ftesta de Los AnreIes

On April 18th to Goth inclusive a car
nival entitled "La fiesta de Los Angeles
will be held at Los Angeles, Calf.
1t is under the management of the
Merchants Association, an influential
organization of business men who have
large resources and it is expected that
the carnival will excel the Mardi Gras or
any similar fete ever attempted in Ameri
ca.
The fiesta of 1894 was a pronounced
success from every standpoint and the
plans for the 1896 event promise the
most unique fete OF modern times. As
you doubtless understand, there are
peculiar conditions which make celebra-
tion of this character more enjoyable
there than elsewhere, among which may
be mentioned the mild climate, an abund-
ance of fruits and flowers, and the his
toric and romantic associations of Cali
fornia, from which latter are drawn ma
terials for many artistic and unique feat
ures of ella fiesta de Los Angeles" The
Spanish and Chinese population part
icipate in the parades and there are many
other features of An instructive and re-
fning nature. Low rates of fare in effect

INDIAN CITIZENSHIP.
U. =. Court Ruling Anent Liquor
that Causes No End of
Trouble.

Washington, Mch, 15.--Indian Commits.
sioner Browning regrets that the last
congress failed to pass any Lew to meet
the new question which has arisen to
cause trouble among the Indians. De-
cisions last summer by the United States
courts settled it that no prosecution
would stand against man for selling
liquor to Indians who had under allot-
ment taken lands in severalty. The courts
held that this act on the part of the In
dian under the law admitted him to citi-
zenship and the selling of liquor to a
United States citizen could not constitute
crime.
Commissioner Browning says he does
not agree to the decision, for while the
land is allotted to the Indian he is not
allowed to dispose of it for twenty-five
years, and during that time he is under
the protection of the government and the
supervision of the Indian office. He
hopes to see in the next congress a law
passed meeting this phase of the case,
aud providing that 80 long as an Indian
is under the care of the government,
whether on allotted land or not, he shall
be considered an Indian in all things,
and making it crime to sell liquor to
him. The commissioner says there will
be very little allotting done, unless such
law is passed, as the authorities believe
allotments under the ruling of the courts
will do more harm than good.

Great Creede Auit

Denver, Colo, Mch. Il. Judge Halet,
has granted temporary injunction te
the Delmonte Mining company restrain
ing the New York Chance company from
encroaching upon its territory.
Both mines are situated at Creede. The
New York company has been following
its vein beyond the side lines aud under
the ground of the Delmonts. Hence the
suit for the injunction.
The legal points raised in this case are
similar to those fought in the celebrated
suit of the Amy-Silversmith companies,
which was decided by the United States
supreme court last year. The decision IN
that case was to the effect that if the vein
crossed two side lines instead of two end
lines the Apex owners could not follow
the vein outside of their own claim.
This decision caused revolution in
mining communities of the country. In
the case of the Delmonte.New York
Chance the New York Apex CROSSES one
end line and one side line OF its own
claim.
1t is claimed that this suit involves a
construction of section 1882 of the Re.
vised Statutes of the United States as to
the apex.
The Delmonte asks for $1,OOO,OOO in
damages and the possession of its prop
erty.
