MINISTER NOT PERMITTED TO
PREACH AT DEPOT.

Angie, La. Sep. p, 1912.
The Baptists have just closed
the best revival here, | have ever
witnessed. At the request OF
the Church and Pastor, Z. L.
Corkern, Rev. w. F. McGehee
did the preaching. The Lord
was with in every service ana
gave us Is for Baptism, and
by letter, making a total OF 3D.
We cast an awful insult on the
devil, at least, he took it that way
He seemed to take it seriously
and went through the town
yelling and landed at the n. y.
G. N. r. r. Co. depot. We had
announced that we would hold an
open air service at or near the
Anglia depot at 4 P. NJ. Sunday,
not thinking that we were vlolat
ing the laws of the State Of
Louisiana or the wishes OF the
n. O. G. n. r. r. Co., or the
common laws of decency. SO
the devil, being wiser than men.
took the advantage of a sleeping
Giant to thwart Gods purposes
in saving the lost. The N. 0. e..
r. r. Co. was notified at Boga.
lusa and they sent the following
telegram: DO not let Reverend
McGehee preach under depot
shed," signed "Trainmaster for
the N. O. GIN. r. r. Go. ITO their
agent at Angie. So the n. 0. G..
N. r. r. Co. fell a prey in the
devils hands to upset our pur'
poses. So we held no service
about the depot. We were heart
broken and sick and there was
as great confusion as / ever saw.
+ The women cried, and men cried,
, at least one did. So we carried
the matter to God on our knees
and he heard US and he gave US
, the greatest victory that we had
, during the meeting.
The open air service above
referred to was principally for the
8 colored people. Now, the Bible
: ssys: "We know that all things
3 work together for them that love
y God, to them who are the callec
according to His purpose" Rom
10 10 1927. Notwithstanding we were
!, defeated at the depot, the Lore
gave US a far greater victory thar
IS we could have possibly had at thu
;. depot. Now, just at the close o
% the Revival, the Lord took goo<
IS old colored woman out of he
- sufferings here. Every one knew
IS her. So, we were invited to tn
70 cemetery way out in the lionel,
rs hills, where a large crowd Q
= :: colored folks had gathered to pa
Is the last tribute of respect to tn
dead. So there in the midst G

t. and holding out to that throng {

ton of our Lord: How He die
to save man from the guilt of hi

"MADE IN NORTH CAROLINA" ;"

Quite the handsomest and most
unique menu folder we have seen for
long while is that of the Battery
Park Hotel, Of Asheville, n. c., Of
which j. l.. Alexander, formerly OF
Oconee, is proprietor. The folder Is
not only attractive in the presenta-
ton OF an epicurean feast, but its ty-
prographic execution is something
out Of the ordinary. The folder DIFF
fers widely from the accepted theory
that, to be alluringly attractive, an ar
ticle must bear the legend, made in
Germany" or some other far-away
section or country. j. l.. Alexander,
South Carolinian by birth, is "Tar-
Heel to the core. IN the place Of
Made in Germany" we find this
atement at the back: "This is
.nted on Chestnut Soda Pulp, made
by the Champion Fibre Company,
Canton, n. c. Capacity in this
grade 100000 pounds in "a hours"
There's a world OF good, sound
common sense in such a way Of doing
things. Mr.. Alexander told Of a
mighty good dinner he was going to
serve, but at the same time he called
attention to the fact that the Old
North State has big enterprise at
Canton, whose products he gladly
uses in preference to something
"Mado in Germany"
There is moral here, not neces-
sary to point out specifically, that
could be well taken to heart by the
people Of every section Of the South
to-day. We Of the South must learn
to call for and use the things OF the
South.

little volume Of poems by Henry E.
Harman, author of "ln Peaceful Val
ley AT the Gate OF Dreams" "In
Loves Domain and Gates Of Twi-
light"
Dreams Of Yesterday" is a uniaue
little volume. beautifully printed and
substantially bound. 1t is admira-
bly, illustrated, and we do not praise
too highly when we say that the H.
Illustrations exceed in beauty and ev,
cellcnce anything we have seen.
They are Of the very cream Of the H.
lustrator's art
This book of poems is indeed a
gem-not that we could say that 1t
is lawless throughout in metre and
rhythm, but its general excellence
beauty and purity Of thought, far
outweigh a few minor defects OF
poesy. 1t is a volume we greatly ap-
preciate and heartily commend.

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER %, 1911
DOES THIS MEAN ANITHING :?

The following dispatch, recently
sent out from Knoxville, Tenn, will
be Of great interest to the people in
This section OF South Carolina, cs-
uoclany the latter portion, which re-
fcrs to the completion Of section of
the Southern Railway from Mary
Vile, Tenn, to Dushncll, \. c.:
"For the purpose Of building an
immense power plant to develop
electricity for the operation OF an
aluminium plant, the Aluminium Com
pany Of America a Pennsylvania cor
poration capitalized at S20,0O0,000,
has purchased rights of way for a
distance Of 40 miles along the Little
Tennessee river, in Blount county,
Tennessee, and across the State line
has been spent for these rights Of
way, and the company, it is said,
will eXpend between l2,000,000
and SIS, 100000 in the construction
of dams, which will develop 20O,-
900 horsepower, and the construc-
tion Of an immense plant for the
manufacture Of aluminium, in which
electricity figures most prominently
in the refining process. This deal
carries with 1t the completion OF the
Bushnell extension OF the Southern
Railway, a line Of road partially con-
:structed between Maryvile, Tenn,
and Bushnell, n. c."
That section Of 40 miles along the
Little Tennessee to which this dis
patch refers, embraces the territory
which the Southern has long held be-
fore the public as an impossible bar
rier to the completion OF tho Blue
Ridge, owing to the proposed con-
struction Of "a dam" that would
Hood the only possible passage for a
railway. 1t will be noted that this
dispatch refers to the construction
Of dams" not "a dam" and there
may be hope in that, for, while it
has been generally conceded that one
great dam would necessarily preclude
the building OF railway at that
point, still it has always been held
by engineers that the same, or prac-
tica!ly the same. electrical and
poWer interests could be served by
the erection Of a series OF smaller
dams instead Of ono large one, and
that the series OF dams would no,
interfere with either the work on, O.
&hc operation OF, a railway line.
1t is significant, also. that this dis
patch announces that "this deal car
ries with it the completion OF the
Bushnell extension OF the Southern
Railway.' 1t is reasonable to infer
from tins that "thc power interests"
which the public has always been
made to believe were hostile TO the
southern Railway, arc to-day not
only lacking in hostility to the South
Grn, but are actually friendly.
II the Information contained in the
above paragraph may be relied upon
and we see no reason to doubt
such public information-it would
seem that the way is opening for the
3ull completion OF the Blue Ridge ey
tension
1t would at least appear that the
last prop has been knocked from un-
der the Southern dam bugaboo."
