TENT OF HOLINESS
SECT BURNED DOWN
Part Of Congregation Seeded and
Went Into Tent; Police Trying to
Find Cause of Fire.
Especial to The News and Observer.

(SpeCta1 10 I0e views 8UO tD3eIFcT.)
Kinston, Aug. 22.-The authorities
would like to esta blish the cOnnec-
ton, if any there is, between a break
in the ranks Of the Holiness church
here and the destruction by fire of
the tent under which one faction was
holding it's services late yesterday.
The tent, which had a seating capac-
ity of 400 or 500, an organ, and the
seats, were burned, with a monetary
loss which has not been estimated.
Dennis Jenkins, Jr., was the head
of the congregation. Until Some time
ago Jenkins and his flock were afil-
lated with the church of which Rev.
A.. H. Butler is pastor in the north
eastern part of the city. When the
break came Jenkins set out on his
own resources and in a short time a
considerable number of the sect had
adhered to his cause.
Recently the mayor was complain
ed to by members of the opposition
faction who reside in the vicinity OF
the lot on Orion street where Jen-
| kim lac his canvas church that 1t was
| a nuisance. He put al officer out to
| investigate. Before the officer had
| had time to max his report the tent
was fired from a cause unknown, ano
| burned quickly, the weather being
dry and hot.
The Holiness sect is Of some
strength in the eastern part 81 the
city. The members hold queer ideas
regarding parts of the Scriptures, anf

tons when fired by fervor at thei1

FIRST: That every town in the col

Tort. establish warehouses adequate Il

that frame buildings designed for this
purpose be covered with metal 81 a.

Third: That the local banks make

discounts-thus making 1t \ ,sible To
limit offerings TO commercial demand.

available, to construct elaborate and

to meet the present but
his limitation only ac%centuates the
necessity for utilizing every possible
resource, and frame structures prop

could probably be made To provide
temporary relief. Moreover. many
localities would doubtless find il prac-
ticable to convert large buildings into
storage space. and it is believed pos

vent q serious decline in the price OF

This is a matter that concerns
every citizen of the South. and efforts
to provide the necessary means 70,

tomobile trip to be given by the
Chamber Of Commerce, the Warsaw
Tobacco Board of Trade. and carry

mendous crowds Of the farmers ut

the scheme. and the tourists returned
to town late in the afternoon feeling
that one of the greatest plans for ad-

been attempted in this county had
resulted in an immense success for
the enterprise.

thought that the danger Of the finan-
Ella situation III regard to the tobacco
crop had passed its worst stage DID
