most pleasant entertainment to
all who were fortunate enough to
attend it. The stage was deco

SERMON by REV. BROWN
Says He Wants to Get Man Right
With God and He'll Be Right
On All Subjects

The last meeting of the Brown
Curry revival, being conducted
in Roswell was especially a mems
series. In the song service
there was full choir. 1t was
enjoyed and at its close there was
an air of regret that this was
the last. Rev. Brown said:
There is so much would like
to say in this last sermon. I'll
not speak on temperance. If
get a man right with God he's
right on all subjects. The text
is Gal. 81. BE not deceived.
God is not Knocked for whatso-
ever a man soweth. that shall he

that separate laws governed the
spiritual and the natural worlds;
but now it is believed that the
same laws apply to both. That
spiritual laws were first made
and then brought down to gov

but God loves you. He hates
your sins, but He loves you.
You think it wrong to swear, to

You fail to understand Gods
law and many a man is bitter
against Gods law because he

Delegates Uninstructed.

Philadelphia.-The primary election In
Pennsylvania resulted ip a landslide Tor
Col. Roosevelt.
Of the sixty-iour delegates elected in
the t%hirty-two districts fully fifty are
pledged to vote for Roosevelt. Added to
this is the probability that the Repub-
lican state convention, which will choose
twelve delegates-at-large to the national
convention, will be controlled by the anti
Taft element, insuring at least sixty
two delegates Tor Roosevelt from this
state.
With the exception of one or two dis
tricts i'll the state, Woodrow Wilson will
have a solid delegation from Pennsyl'
vania to the Democratic national con-
vention.

Bristol, Va.-Although a petition for
change of venue was filed some weeks

they want to be tried at Hillsville, ac.

New lork.-The probability of a
strike of engineers employed on the fifty
railroads in the Northeastern section OF
the country was emphasized by the an
nouncement of Grand Chief Warren S.
Stone OF the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers that 93.3 per cent of the men
had voted in favor of the walkout.
This information was dispatched by
special messenger to j. c. Stuart, chair
man of the conference committee OF
managers, in this city. Mr.. Stuart sent
the following reply:
will submit your letter to the confer
ence committee of managers for their
consideration and action. 1t will require
several days to get the conference com
mitttee together, and l doubt whether it
can be done before the middle or the
latter part of neXt week."
More than 27,500 engineers are in
volved in the strike vote just announced.
When the negotiations for higher wages
were being carried on some time ago
the managers committee declined to &C.
cede to the demands of the men, and il
was said that their attitude towards q
wage increase has not changed.
1t was also said that the Brotherhood
of Firemen and Engineers would shortly
present demands to the managers and
would support the engineers if they
| strike.

Battalions of police, reinforced by more
Than IA hundred deputy sheritfs, acting
under the orders of County Judge John

Then the police were ordered by Judge

delay lett the vicinity of the armory and

WHEAT DROPS TWO CENTS
Handsome Profit Reaped by Firms Sell
ing Out.

Chicago, lll.-A vertical drop of two
cents a bnshel for July wheat in the last
hour recalled to many traders the col
lapse Of the famous Letter deal. The de-
cline IN the present instance, however,
was only one of a series of the most
spectacular fluctuations that have ever
been crowded into a single session of tho
Chicago Board of Trade.
Unlike the Letter collapse, the selling
out Tor one or more of the big owners
OF wheat in this city was believed to
have been done at a handsome profit. due
IN part to tenacity in holding on through
an entire year of racking losses, but
more TO the almost delirious buying
movement which seemed at last to have
reached a climax.

peal to the government for assistance
were the subjects of the second annual
convention of the National Drainage
Congress, which began a four-days' ses-

speakers as an object lesson now at

A message was read by the acting sec
rotary from President Taft, expressing
regret because of inability to attend and
the hope hat much good would result
from the work the congress had under
taken.
Gov. Sanders pointed out that the
