There IL a womanless republic
on a peninsula south OF Mac
edonia, in Greece, where 10000
men live, studying and praying
constantly and where policemen
guard the course to keep out
women pilgrims and other per-
sons who would make undesirable
guests. Prof Casper Rene Gre.
CORY, theologian oi the Universi.
ty Of Leipzig, student OF Biblcal
manuscripts, who located at
Kansas City recently, at the Fine
Arts Institute, told of this most
unique Of all countries.
"The place is Mt. Athos, classic
peninsula OF Alike, the eastern
most OF three little peninsulas be
low Macedonia" Prof. Gregory
explained. ut il called tn e
Mount OF the Twenty Monester-
les. and was used in ancient
times az a signal station to Asia
Minor. 1t is a real republic.
There are 10000 monks there,
who govern without interference
from Turkey or any other coun-
try. There are, however, no pres
ident or other ofiiceholders.
"The only policy in force is
composed Of men who patrol the
coast to keep out women and
men who have no permit to en-
ter this most exclusive OF coun-
tries. Only those who have a let
ter OF permission from the Greek
patriarch in Constautinople are
ever allowed to enter the holy
place. The holder of the letter
must present it in Karges, t b g
age capital Of the peninsula. "
Some reports have it, Prof.
Gregory said that this republic
was formed in the ninth century
1t is said that the foot OF q WON.
an has not touched the soil o.
the place for centuries. All the
monks represent the Greek Cath
olic church. They work t b
soil some, but live chiefly up
OH contributions from pilgrims
Probably the greatest collection

monastrries of the republic.

There has been much agitation
OF late for the betterment OF con.
d,t,ons in and around Wilkes

last Saturday o meeting was
held for the consideration Of the
stupendous, the most monlen.
tous, the paramount lrsue which
confronts the, people Of Western
North. Carolina, that OF the or
ganization OF q fruit and truck
growers ca operative association
and the name chosen BY this
meeting for this association was
the United Fruit Growers OF Wes.

not been organized to antagOnize
or compete with any other al.
ISOLATION and it's members may
balnng to any such, organized
for advancement of Horticulture
along educational lines.
The influence OF such an as
sociation shall be directly fit by
every resident OF Wilkes, Matu-

every fruit consumer in this en-

the value Of our lands from 20 to

yea even ], 900 dollars per acre.
Then will we see railroads and
wagon roads as you see them.
1t isn't sentiment that builds
railroads it is the freight that
needs to be hauled. 1t isn't talk
that builds wagon roads it il

there IRE no such things as coun

In all respect to agricLltnre, it

We need and must have a Fruit

Wilkesboro; we need it to unity
our Efforts; W. need it to get the
most for what we produce; We
need in order to pay the least for
what We buy; we need it to buy
for us that which we want and
need but, individually, don't
know how to get; We need it TO
hunt markets we could not other
wise find, we need it to lnterce'le
with the railroads aand secure
just and equitable rates to these
varlons markets; We need it to
advertise our country and it's
products and bring reinforce
ments to our cause; We need IT E,
friends and neighbors, to double
the value OF our effnrts, OF our
lands, TO help to build our roads
and our school houses and bring
our. children up with advantages
equal to the best. And this Aaso-
clation will do that very thing
1t has been done. is being done
in other places, and con and will
l,e done here.
But everything of value costs

who roam Broad street in the sven-
ings with the vile purpose in their
hearts OF turning innocent maidens OF
fourteen years Of age INTO prostitutes.
the address being delivered to good
crowd at Thompson's hall. \
Mr.. Chaloner read several extracts
from the various sermons which were
pynched last Sunday on the social
evil and heralded the pulpit as the
last resort in times Of desperate need
and ministers al almost the only ones
who could be relied upon TO meet
every social danger, speaking the
truth freely without fear.
After relating the history of the
transition OF his belief as to the dis
interestednass of xmankind and OF
his final conclusion that the Prophet
Jeremiah and the great Voltaire we're
right in their sombre view of the
biackness of mans heart to show that
he cares little for criticism and after
telling that he is without friends or
family to offend to show that he has
no reasons for auppressing his real
opinion. he declared himself to be
peculiarly fitted to speak strongly and
frankly and then proceeded TO make
good his declaration.
In launching his attack upon those
who have brought Richmond into
disgraceful prominence recently he
declared that never had his pride "a
Southerner been more deeply
wounded than when he learned that
in the capital city Of the Confederacy
there is roamin gat large a band Of
rascals unshot and unnung. The re-
cent developments, he said. was the
deepest disgrace that had ever be-
smirched the fair face OF Virginia,
whose very name il a symbol for
purity and chastity. He called 1t a
'.hellish parody upon the name OF
pen. and suggested that the name OF
the State be changed.
Speaking OF the need Of raising the
age of consent. he said that even
hardened, wicked old New York" had
set the age at sixteen and that the
tender girls Of fourteen turned into
prostitutes in Virginia could not &c
to New York, but must stay In vir-
ginia lest, perchance. they went tc

girls is better north OF Mason and

ut Is said that the State Fair
association is not a. mones- making
corporation, that any proats cf this
year go to making next years fair

hold patronage and seek TO have
others stay away is unchristianlike,

that his patronage goes along with
saloon revenue to help forward a good

etc. Say, Christian. does God ask You
to do wrong or to sanction a wrong
even when there 1s good end In
view? The State Fair association by
placing a saloon in the fair grounds
insults the Christian conscience OF
every one attending The saloon IS
the foe of every legitimate industry
OF the State 1t is the curse Of many
lives; it Is a drawback to our edu-
cational Institutions; Il Is antagenistic
to the work Of the churches; 1t is the
source of corruption IN the States

the 'unfruitful works Of darkness,
with which we ara to have no fell

life OF the State. In short, 1t IL a
work OF the devif and Christ was
manifested that he might destroy the
works of the devil
Our duty is clear. We must fight
the saloon wherever II is found;
sanction nothing that sanctions its
existence: stay away from it and keep
others away. The Christ in Christian ms
must destroy this work of the devil.
Let all Christians and temperance
workers enter their protest against
the fair ground saloon and back up
the sincerity Of the protest by stay
Ing away from the fair. Let a great
protest OF temperance sentiment level
