A mutual postCrI aid experiment
has been tried with success during the
past two years in Chicago Into the
combination entered three Methodist
churches, with an average member

revival Efforts, the visiting pastor

pIementIng by house-to house vista
ton and by taking charge Of the devo
tional aud altar services. There is an
utter absence Of sensRtIOnalism in any
thing, everything being carried for
ward in a reverent, devOUt, and be
coming way. The tabulated results OF
four SUI n meetings, of less than a
mouth each, and in three different
churches, show nearly 200 conversions
and over $50 accessiOns. Out of just
such work are gro wing three societies,
which promise to be among our strong
est and most inf Iential churches, and
the promoters Of this experiment are
confident that if the plan was tried
ore generally the effect upon the
church at large would be immediate
and conspicuous. The total expense
involved by the four meetings referred
TO was less than SIS.

If the Christian men of our State and
Nation do not soon-may be this year
begin to regard the casting Of their
ballots as sacred as their secret pray
eTs, this government will soon go TO
recoverable ruin. Religion at the
poles is the demand Of our day.
The wisest, keenest, most able states,
men of TO day have recognized the
dominance of the saloon IN American
poliClcs as a fact tina makes the saloon
an enemy not only Of the home, but of
the nation. In New York City, 700
out of 1000 primaries and nominating
conventions are held in saloons, or next
door to e saloon. When one reflects
that the vote of New York City has
decided a national election and that it
is recogu zed as the pivotal point in
national contests, he may we'll stop &c
ask, wna5 Will become CT q nation that
allows the worst element Of society
the thief, the gambler, the anarchist

RALRIGa's FIRST NEWSPAPER
Some Interesting History Gathered From
Old Letters and Papers

Old Letters and Papers.
[ have come into pos sssIon of some
old books and letters. which throw
some light on North Carolina news
paper history.
So far as I can learn, after some care
full research, the first paper published
in Raleigh, N. Q (~perhaps the first in
the StaUe), was the Minerva" owned
and edited by Mr.. William B0ylan.
This paper was established in the year
1896, aud remained under the contro,
of Mr. William B0ylan till November
II, 1910 when he sold it to Messrs. Alex
Lucas & Abram II dyes BOylan.
The second paper to be printed
in R leigh was the Stain, " which was
established in 1903, by Mr.. Thomas
Henderson, State Printer.
From the Star subscription list
C'Drectory Book for the Star" it is
labeled) | fad that Mr.. Henderson
still owned the paper 10 1921.
| would judge from an Old account
against VIM. Boylan, for advertising
IN the Star ID 1913, that Thomas Hen
derson had bough5 the Minerva, or mat
the Minerva mad suspended publication
in 1912, r sOmptlme previous.
In 1923 the Soar was bought from
Mr. Henderson by Messrs. La "rence &
Lemsy, who continued to publish 1t
until 1851, when it was again sold to
Mr.. w. Q. Dowd. Soon thereafter it
suspended publication.
In searching through the books and
letters in my possession, l find many
things which interested ne and l feel
sure some OF them will prove interest
ing reading to other newspaper men.
Below [ give some items from rhos
Henderson's cash book. These were
entered IN the book between May Is,
1912 and 22nd OF September, 1915:

THE A. g. P. COMPLICATIONS.
A Legal Contest That is Of Moment
GUS Interest to the Southwest
Huntington Makes New
Move.

While the Atlantic & Pacific Railroad
company, represented by the A., 7. & s.
F., is engaged in its legal contest with
the holders of the first mortgage bonds
with the second mortgage bondholders as
third party In the fray, G. P. Hunting
ton is going right along putting up jobs
of his own. 1t seems now that the ap-
pointment of G. W. Smith as receiver was
a practical victory for the first mortgage
bondholders' syndicate and indirectly, at
least, in favor of the Huntington side of
the controversy. U. s. Judge Hawkins,
of Arizona, is now wrestling with the
same problems that Judge Collier had to
deal with recently, and may give the af-
fair fresh turn by refusing to appoint
Mr.. Smith receiver for that part of the
road running through Arizona, or he may
appoint man who will incidentally keep
tab on Receiver Smiths conduct.
In the meantime Huntington is pre-
pairing to clip the wings of the A. & p.
road as competitor for Southern Pa
cific business by buying the Blake branch
running north from the A. d P. line the
Needles and spending $7,000,OO0 to build
cutoff to Salt Lake City.
Not only for the people of New Mexico,
but for those of Arizona, Utah, Nevada
and California the present A. g. P. COM
plications are immensely interesting.

SILVER CONFERENCE.
Champions Of the White Metal Hold
ing an Important Meeting in
Washington.

Washington, Jan. 22.-About 100 silver
men were present at to.day's silver con-
ference under the auspices of the Ameri-
can Bimetallic league.
Gen. A. j. Warner, in calling the con-
ference to order, said that there was no
hope of winning the fghtin detachments,
OF inside organizations controliedby gold
standard men.
oGold," he said, twas written on the
walls on the inner temples of both the
old parties, and it could be obliterated
only BY tearing down the walls"
The conference was called, he con-
tinued, to deliberate upon the present ait
uation of the country and to decide upon
the policy to be pursued by the friends
of bimetalilsm, and it WAS expected that
an agreement would be reached upon a
time and place for holding a national
convention to nominate candidates for
the presidency and vice presidency OF
the United States. The fight must be-
gin now and continue until the election
