TWO VISITING PREACHERS.
Rev. j. c. I[ilgo and Rev. A. j. Nc
Kelway Conducted Services Here
Sunday

DR.. j. C. Kilgo, president of Trinity
College, preached at the Central
Methodist church, last sunday morning
and evening.
There were good congregations at
both services. The sermons at both
services We're able discourses.
DR.. A. j. McKelway, editor of the
Presbyterian Standard, of Charlotte,
occupied the pulpit of the Presbyterian
church on Sunday morning and de-
livered a very able sermon on the
Child and the Golden Age" from the
text "a little child shall lead them"
He said in part:
THE child is leading the way. 1t
is the glory of our civilization that we
are at last considering the child. 1t is
because men will more and more
scorn to hurt the child and will more
and more bend energies of mind \and
heart for his advantage, will in in
creasing numbers and with increasing
zeal see to it that childhood has it
rights, the right TO play as .Isiah put
it long ago, the right to training for
the leadership of the future, the OPP
portunity of standing upon a little
higher plane than that on which his
children stood, that we can see the
Kingdom coming.
1T is the essential difference be-
makes it necessary to build a reform
atory instead of a penitentiary for
child criminals.
Putting children to work too soon
is taking advantage of the helplessness
that should be their protection and is
sitting the promise of childhood.
Without the right physical basis to
build upon, the race degenerates. Sup
pose all the children, our own and
our neighbors, as We'll as those of the
factory villages, not only in North
Carolina but in America and through
out the world, had to begin work at
twelve years, twelve hours a day or a
night. the prophecy of a golden age
could never be fulfilled. The race
would be doomed. Why then should
we allow for some what would be
ruin to ALL"
DR.. McKelway paid high tribute
to a Raleigh mill which he visited
Saturday, saying that he had not seen
in the South SO many adults in pro-
portion to the children as were in that
mill.

corning which the following statement

Mrs. Mary G.. Stone, is the widow
of the late J. NJ. Stone, one of the
most popular chief executives Missis-
sippi ever had. He served as COVER
nor for twelve years-a longer term
than that of any other occupant OF
the office He personally confronted
mobs wherever they appeared in his
State, and was firm in upholding the
majesty of the law. AS governor he
offered a reward of $1,000 for the APP
prehension of the miscreanti who
fired into postal car and publicly

Savings Bank was closed today by its
directors and placed in the hands of a
receiver.
The news of Houseman's suicide
caused a panic among the depositors
of the bank, who are mostly residents
of the East Side and the crowd which
struggled around the doors of the
bank seeking to withdraw deposits be-
came so large that the police were
called to preserve order The directors
in a statement say the bank was
closed to protect themselves and de-
positors against the run. The bank
has a capital of $4,000 and depos. is
of $3S4,000

the banks affairs and in a note which
he left to his wife, said:

The concessions granted by the COM

AN APOSTLE OF FREEDOM.
Pen Sketch of Father GopOn, the Rus
sian Priest.
(Richmond Times-Dispatch.)

Father Gopon, Russia's new apos-
tie of freedom, though only twenty
eight years old, has boundless courage
and enthusiasm. He is the son of a
moujik (peasant and one-tfne serf)
at Poltava, in Little Russia. who was
noted for his independence amid
race of slaves.
Young Gopon desired to become a
mechanic, but was persuaded by his
father to enter the priesthood. Al the
seminary at Moscow Gopon's demo
cratic tendencies were manifested in
thoroughly practical way. showing the
born politician.
The government, to still discomfort.
allowed legalized societies to be
formed, these associations WORKING
under police surveillance.
Gopon seized upon the concession,
cleverly Itilzing it to form huge
association, largely composed OF IRON
workers and engineers When the au-
thorities realized the potency OF this
combination it was not deemed polite
to suppress it, because so powerful
was Gopons influence that they knew
that at his command every one or his
followers would strike at moment
when the energies of every worker
were needed for war preparations
Gopon initiated the first open-air
meeting Russia has ever seen. His
personality is impressive. He has
splendid voice. and all Of the arts of
the platform orator are to him naturaI
gifts. He is affectionately known
among his supporters as "Batiushk3
Khokhol," Little Father of the Rus
slams"
At the time of the Odessa strike
fiasco suspicious were entertained That
he was a government agent provo
cateur These have long since been
dispelled, and his influence mounted
by leaps and bounds since the begin
ming of the war. until now he stands
unrivalled.
Though an Orthodox priest, he toll
crates no sectarian prejudices among
his followers, who include large
bodies of Catholics and Lutherans. He
accents no money for his services,
lives like an a1.chorite and works
twenty hours day, deeming no sacri-
fee Of time or iabor enough iii forcing
on his propaganda, He travels long
distances in the utter discomfort of
the worst class of Russian railroads
and performs prodigiouS work TO
keep his organization together.
Father Gopon warmly protested
against the exeommunication of
Tostol, for which he was publicly
cursed by a priest of his native village.
He knows The criminal classes Of st.
| Petersburg better than any detective,
and absolutely excludes from his
clubs any man convicted for crime
until the crime is followed by proved
repentence.
He occasionally makes a fiery
| sneech, immortality and gambling,
| telling the workingmen that their
abased condition is largely their own
| fault.

sToEssEL's BAYS WITHER.
The Breath of Criticism Beats Holly
on His Brow.
(By the Associated Press.)

Toxic, Jan. IA Russian admiral,
who has just joined the prisoners
from Port Arthur now in Japan, has
given to a corr eaFondent OF the ASSo
ciatoi Fress an extended statement.
covering the defense and surrender of
the fortress. He characteriZes the
surrender before the garrison had
reached it's extremity as a disgrace,
bitterly criticises General StoeSSel and
lauds General Kondratenko, as the
true hero of the defense of Port Ar
thur.
The admiral says that Vice Ad-
mral Makaroff dictated the policy OF
inactivity on the part of the squad
ron, taking the ground that 1t would
BE- hopeless, owing 10 the inferiority
of the Russian naval strength, to en-
gage the feet of Vice Admiral Togo.
and that it would be unwise to divide
the force defending Port Arthur by
running ships to Vladivostock, or to
neutral ports. The admiral admits
that bitter friction existed between
the army and the navy, and intimates
that there is a probability of Inquiry
into this matter by court martial He
insists that the Russians destroyed
their warships at Port Arthur beyond
any possibility of salvage by the Jap
aEese.
The statement says in part:
General Stoessel, who was in abb
solute command of the fortress vigor-
ously opposed the naval policy He
maintained that despite the UMPIRE
paredness of the fortress, Port Ar
thur could easily be defended by
troops armed only with rifles. He
opposed the idea that artillery was
necessary, but this resulted in causing
friction between him and the COM
manders of the fortress artillery.
Il am sorry to say that from the
first General Stoessel proved to be in
capable Though in full command he
never visited the lighting positions
during the life time of General
Is ndratenko Kondratenko was not
only the life of the defense. but lie
possessed III q large measure the
quality of peace maker. Fortunately
for the defense, he was able to direct
it's policy in large measure. Stoessei
left much to him, and the officials of
the navy recognized him as the one
man capable OF fusing the discordant
elements. BY day and by night
General IIondratenko visited every
portion of the position and constantly
risked his life. HI was our lnSplra-
ton. No Russian need be ashamed
of the defense made by thegarrison
while Kondratenko lived.
ct is difficult for Russian officer
To talk about the end. 1t was worse
than a mistake 1t was a disgrace.
rhe fortress could easily have held
out for another month. as it had food
and ammunition sufficient for that
period, and if Kondratenko had re-
manned alive it would have held out
for months longer"
