When King Humbert in his address to
the Italian Parliament spoke of the con-
tinuance of peace his words were received
coldly, but when he spoke OF the effective
ness of the army and the navy he was long
ard loudly cheered. We have thus an
other straw TO show the way the European
breeze is blowing.

The newly organized Farmers Club in
this City ought to have strong support,
for many people resting here are owners
of farms and have large interests in agri-
cultural affairs. There is also much work
which can be done by City club to help
the practical farmer in the country, and
thus the organization may be made among
the most beneficial in the State.
The clause of the Dingley bill putting
the new tariff into effect from April may
have the good result of compelling the

than it otherwise would. The clause as it
stands renders business uncertain, and

thereon He said the lesson read was
direct revelation OF God to The chill
dren Of Is-te', and through them to
Us. Gods 1--we Is laid down as the

The speaker urged his hearers to
hold family prayers.
Your Influence ia the home is the
most potent The little girl talks to
her doll just like mama talks to her;
the little boy talks to his dog just
like papa talks to him. Your infiu-
ence is either for good or evil. Moth
ing can take the place Of home work
in the training of children for God
Watch your boy, said Mr. Lawrence
with emphasis.
One of the great troubles today.
continued the speaker, is that the
men are turning the work of the
church over to the women That the
great majority of workers in the Sun

women The men allow their bust
ness to interfere with their religious

or brick bats and goods stolen.
Messrs. Kenny Rose, D D. Schouler
and A. Daye were the Winston mer-
chants that got caught. The store of
Mr.. & l.. Hendrix, in Salem, was the
last one broken into.
Suspicion rested upon a Davidson
county farmer named Allen Temple,
whose home is near Arcadia He was
seen in town, by the officers the same
nights the windows were broken The
officers waited until they could get
some evidence before attempting TO
make an arrest.
Policeman MCGEE, of Salem, and Mar
ket Clerk Benton, of Winston, went
to Temples house week before last

uty sheriff with them. Temple was
found at work in his meadow They
read the warrant to him and told bin
the OH CT OF their businesS-to search
his house and to arrest him If they
fouod any Of the goods.
The Davidson farmer appeared To
be willing for the officers to search his
house He got in d buggy with the
policeman and rode home Upon
reaching there the warrant was read
to Temples wife. Like her husband,
she raised no obi ctiuns to the house
being searched; IN fact she told the
officers that they could look all over
the holse, If tney wished.
After searching fer few minutes, a
pair of tan shoes were found in the
jam behind the fire place. They an
swered the description of the ones
stolen from Mr. Il l. Hendricks
The officers then informed Temple
that they would have to bring him to
Winston They gave him permissloa,
however, to change clothes fhe of

S that their man did not get away
