interview with him at Tilsit, hoping to
obtain more generous conditions of

the sixtieth anniversary of her death,
her son, King William l. of Prussia,

An Appeal to the Church Women

words Of DR.. James Dennis as he
presents to US the great commission
Of our Lord; note carefully, thought

nobler and finer than this divine
commission which our Lord gave to
His church? Is there any exploit of
chivalry, any glory Of military
achievement, any attainment OF
scholarship, any service of culture,
even height or depth Of patriotism
or humanitarian sacrifice which can
compare in simple beauty, grandeur
and worth with this superb ministry
in Gods name and at Christ's COM
mand, to the soul life Of humanity"
In the face Of such powerful
realization as the above, can we
longer neglect the privileges that are

our Lord for a special duty in the
extension Of His kingdom in the
earth?
The world needs our earnest work.
The perishing ones near US and afar,
are languishing for the gospel Of
light, love and eternal happiness;
and shall we withhold that which is
in our power to contribute? We
mean not simply of money, but Of
time, talent and influence. There is
no one who is not endowed with
some talent; then let us attend the
meetings Of the society and use it.
There is no one without influence;
then let US attend the meetings and
develop it. Just the presence Of
each one gives inspiration to others;
the zeal Of one enlivens others; the
sympathy and cooperation Of the
various members strengthen and en-
courage the others to press forward

only did Mr.. Hamilton distinguish
himself in his studies but he also
made a most enviable record for
himself in athletics while at the
University. Mr.. Hamilton made the
Varsity base ball team in his fresh

of four years. Mr., Hamilton proved
to be a tower Of strength to the Uni

Rev. H. G. Bryant, assisted by
Rev. NJ. L. Tucker Of Albemarle,
closed very successful meeting at
Corinth Baptist church last Friday
morning. There were twenty Access
sions to the church, FIVE by letter
and fifteen by profession Of faith.
Fourteen presented themselves at the
water, about half mile north of the
church, for baptism Friday morning,
which was beautifully performed by
the psstor and witnessed by a large
congregation. The church was filled
at every service. This church has
been established about thirteen years
and has now Ia members on roll.
Mr.. Bryant has been called to serve
as pastor for another year.
The members Of Corinth church
have decided to have their house Of
worship painted both inside and out
side, and an addition built, which
will add greatly to its appearance.
The committee have asked the
writer to say through The Journal
that on next Saturday, the 3rd, at 2
O'Clock p. m, they will receive bids
at the church for the painting. II
anyone wishes to donate anything to

wilkesboro Special. 2o;h, 70 winston-Iouraal.
Quite a sensational trial took place
in Wilkes court Saturday. II was a
civil suit in which Editor K. A. Deal
Of the Chronicle, a Democratic paper,
was plaintiff and G. ". Samuels sand
j. ". Hasty defendants. 1t grew out
Of the assault made on Editor Deal
about FIVE years ago by Samuels and
Hasty, revenue officers.
Editor Deal had charged Spencer
Blackburn with having organized
the distillers and revenue men into
a combination by which distillers
were to pay $30per month to Black
burns campaign fund. As Deal ex-
pressed it, "they were to put $50
into the missionary box" No names
were used by Editor Deal, but Geo.
w. Samuels with j. w, Hasty at
tackled Deal, Samuels knocking him
to the ground and jumping on him
and Hasty, with his Colts revolver,
shouting to the crowd who ran to
Deals rescue to stand back.
Both of the men we're sentenced
to Imprisonment and served term
in Jail.
In the meantime Deal, who is a
small, frail man, brought a civil suit
for his injuries. The defendants
were never ready for trial. Samuels
died last year and Hasty, his ode
PENDANT, thought he would stave of
the matter until Editor Deal, who is
fast going with consumption, had
passed away. AT this term Of the
court Judge Pell was appealed to by
Mr.. Deals attorneys to bring the
matter to trial, as he would hardly
live till another court. Hasty, who
lives in Union county, sent a doc
tors certificate that his wife was i'll
and begged to put it off. Judge Pell
wired to Monroe and learned that
she was not very i'll, so forced Hasty
to come to trial. The jury consisted
Of nine Republicans and three Dem
ocrats, and contrary to expectations,
they awarded Deal 5000 damages.
The defendant appealed to the Su.
preme court. 1t is thought the idea
is to keep the case going until Deals
days are over.

men and viii make good commits
sioners, The Journal does not feel
that i will be a bit amiss to say a
word or two about the other nomi-

the reason that Mr.. Farley has
served on this board before, and
served so well, so enthusiastically
and so unselfshly for the cause Of
road improvement, that he already
deserves the thanks Of the public.
MIR. Farley made good and the fact
that the people have called him
again to serve, and nominated him
without opposition, is proof that they
appreciated his services. This coun-
ty is waking up on the subject Of
good roads and no man has given
more practical thought and work to
the subject than he. When We have
the roads that we should have we
shall all look back and give him
credit for the tireless work that he
has done and will continue to do.
He has worked without pay and
without price for the pure love of
the cause, and the time has come for

other commissioners and give them
the means to work with.
