To Organize Sept 24th

The 10th of September was select
ed as the time OF holding the con-
vention for permanent organization.
AS this date is so near the meeting
of the L air some seem to think 1t
had best be changed and it may be
changed to some other date by the
committee on program, etc. This
first meeting, only preliminary, and
without definite program, was sur
prisingIy we'll attended and enthu-
siastic. 1t showed that there aie at
least men and women in this county
business men, sensible men, who
see the need of this matter, and are
determined to make 1t go. 1t was
regretted that some of the best
schools in the county were not repre-
sented, bat they will be hereafter.
The Sunday School is the largest
and most important work in the
world which the churches have any
thing to do with.

NARROW ESCAPE
MAYOR CAYNOR
New York City's Chief Exec
utive Shot by a Discharged
City Employe.

An attempt upon the life of Mayor
Gaynor, of New York City, was
made on Monday, as he was board
Ing steamer for European trip.
lie was shot and seriously wounded
by one Gallagher, discharged en-
ploye of one of the city departments.
The asailant was Immediately arrest
ed and will be given speedy trial.
The New York World says editorial
~ of the shooting:
Tho attempt upon the life of
Mayor Gaynor Is another STARTLING
reminder of the dangers OF courag-
eous public service. IL came through
no excitement of factionY nor as n re-
suit OF any secret conspiracy. The
act OF nm individual OF little con-
sequence rs human units are csti-
mated, IL nevertheless directs ntten-
tion very sharply TO rapidly chang
Ing conditions and 10 tendencies I'm
political thought that nre full of
peril. Seemingly no other man was
safe yesterday morning in this COM
muniiy than the mayor OF New
York. Actually he was sueakinglv
pursued tc the ship on which he was
to sail for European holiday AMI
shot down rs might have been the
Victim OF vendetta. In profound
sorrow for the deed and its possIbili-
ties aud In sympathy for the suffer
Ing magistrate and his family but
one voice can eNpess the feelings OF
this people.
Elected by n party he had be-
come In seven months dIstinctlveIy

and which was used To paint the
church, but there is still work To be
done on tho ediiice, and has been
needed for some time lit is one of the
oldest landmarks, lis walls having
been built before the war. Perhaps
the only person living who helped
To build IL is Robert Steele, who is
now 50 years old; he gave the lot
where IL was built and all the tim
ber that went into il. No doubt
there are some readers OF this paper
who can call back To memory pleas
ant hours spent at old Stcele's chap
ell, where father and mother, broth
ers and sisters, met together, but
where are they today2-some sleep
close by its walls, while Others
sought homes I'm distant countries. A
few years and then IL Will be, where
are those who helped in this cause?
We thank ur'friends for their liber-
al help, and hope they Will again

Sors. In view OF the fnct OF the In
creasing sentiment in the county for

want new roads, built according to

does not organize schools, furnishes
no literature, gives no financial aid,
but by organization and various

ell several important facts, among
them, that Virginia, q State of
churches and fine literary schools is
away behind other states in the mat
ter of Sunday school work That here
are few really efficient schools out
side certain cities, that 50 per cent
of the church membership and %
per cent OF the ministers and all the
foreign missionaries, came out Of the
Sunday schools. Other important
facts were brought out, and the adj
dress was we'll received.
Rev. Mr.. SchaefIer, Jr, was call
ed on, and made a short, but enthu-
siastic speech, which was well re-
ceived.
