Misses Katherine and Edith
Cranor Of North Wilkesboro, sis
ters Of Mrs. W. H. McElwee Of
Statesville, were in Paris when
trouble broke out on the other
side. In q letter to Mrs. McEl-
wee, written in London under
date of August 3rd, Miss RATHER
inc Cranor speaks o. their "terri-
bic fight from Paris and their
safe arrival in London. She
says:
"The morning we left Paris l
lost Edith, through the wild sur
ging mob we had to fight our
way to the train" She says she
rode in q crowded corner, with
two American gentlemen, for five
hours. "Not a breath of air.
The corridors were packed, not
even standing room outside or
sitting room inside. Yet I was
never more thankful for a spot.
When it's a ride for ones life
comfort doesn't count. From
six O'Clock last night until five
this morning I fought my way
through a fighting, screaming
mob to get a boat before the
channel was closed and got on
the last one and crossed after
the channel had been mined for
the enemy. l could only get a
cup of tea and a piece OF ham
sandwich from the time l left
Paris until / arrived in London.
I was terribly i'll while crossing
the channel. This will give you
a faint idea of the wild flight l
had to make. Edith had a ter
rible time but not SO long. You
can imagine my state of mind
when I found I had lost her and
feared / would never find her a.
gain. i had given hermy pocket
book, which contained our stock
of gold. She did not know that
she was carrying the gold until
I arrived this afternoon. 1 had
q considerable amount OF silver,
which was weighty but not val
uable."
Saying she could not get a
check cashed in Paris, Miss Cra-
nor says: The French banks
have been surrounded for days
by q wild mob. Even if l could
have gotten the money it would
have done me no good, as they
would only give paper and it is
refused everywhere. The money
situation is fearful in France; a
little better in England.

Not tho Battle d knigsddsl.

The war now ragingin Europe
is not the battle Of Armagaddon
referred to in the Book of Reve-
lation in the Bible, nor will it
mark the end OF the world, &C.
cording to the Rev. DR.. James
M. Gray, dean Of the Moody Bi-
ble Institute of Chicago, who
spoke a few days ago at the Bible
conference at Mountain Lake
Park, Md.
DR.. Gray gave the following
reasons for denying that the war
universal and destructive as it
promises to be, is the fulfillment
OF the prophecy concerning the
battle of Armageddon:
"Armageddon is a locality not
in Europe but in Palestine, and
the battle OF Armageddon will
not be fought until it is fought
in Palestine.
"The battle OF Armageddon
will have for it's object the des-
truction OF Jerusalem under it's
restored conditian prior to the
return OF the Messiah as King.
cat the battle of Armageddon
the nations making the attack
will be those which constituted
the Roman empire under the
Caesars, federated again under
a secular head generally regard
ed at the anti-Christ.
''Such a federation would mean
a different alignment Of the na-
tions than this one now existing.
Russia, for example, was not a
part of the Roman empire, and
hence before the battle OF Arma-
geddon can be fought, Russia
must withdraw from the Triple
Entente. On the other hand, It.
ally did belong to the Roman en-
pire and before the battle OF Ar
mageddon is fough4 she must
join the Triple Entente. Further
more, a large part of Austria, as
we'll as OF Germany, was never in
the Roman Empire, so before Ar
mageddon there must come a d.
vision OF territory in that quar-
ter.
"Of course history is made fast
in these days and no one can tell
what may take place in a month.
With Italy's refusal to cooper
ate with Germany and Austria
in the war and other possibilities
we see before Germany and Aus
tria, it looks as though the new
alignment which is necessary be-
fore Armageddon m ig ht be
brought about as the result of
this conflict and thus hasten the
end of this dispensation and the
coming Of the Lord.
"The war by no means marks
the end OF the world. The Bible
teaches that before the end of the
world there must b. at least a
whole millennium Of peace and
Righteousness on the earth. These
events may mark the approach
ing end of this dispensation, but
that is a different thing from the
end of the world"

IolsIors PROPHECY.

The European warhas directed
attention to q prophecy of Count
Leo Tolstoi, the great Russian
writer, made a few years ago.
He said:
"This is a revelation Of events
OF a universal character, which
must shortly come to pass. Their
spiritual outlines are now before
my eyes. / see floating upon the
surface of the sea of human fate
the huge silhouette of a nude wo-
man. She is-with her beauty,
her poise, her smile, her jewels
a suRer-Venus. Nations ru 9 b
madly after her, each of them ca
ger to attract her especially, but
she, like an eternal courtesan,
flirts with them all. In her hair.
ornaments of diamonds and ru.
bies is engraved hername Com.
mercialism.' As alluring and as
bewitching as she seems, much
destruction and agony follow in
her wake.
"And, behold, she has three gi.
gantic arms with three torches
OF universal corruption in her
hand. The first torch represents
the fame ofwar, the second torch
bears the fame OF bigotry and
hypocrisy, and the third torch is
that of the law.
"The great confagaration will
start about 1912, set by torch
of the first arm in the countries
in Southeastern Europe. It will
develop into a destructive Gala
nifty in 1913. In that year Isee
all Europe in flames and bleeding.
l hear the lamentations of huge
battlefelds, But about the year
1915 a strange figure from the
North-a new Napoleon-enters
the stage OF the bloody drama.
He is a man of little militaristic
training, a writer or journalist,
but in his grip most OF Europe
will remain till 1915. "The end
of the great calamity will mark
a new political era for the Old
World. There will be left no en-
pires or kingdoms, but the world
will form a federation of the Uni
ted States of Nations. There will
remain only four great giants
the Anglo-Saxons, the Latins,
the Slavs and the Mongolians."
While the confagaration didn't
begin as early as Tolstoi pledic.
ted, there is much in the prophecy
to remind one OF present events.

Rock Hill, 8. c., Herald.

Here Is one man who Is not al
armed over the situation pro-
duced by the European conflict.
Mr.. John G. Anderson, president
of the Rock Hill Buggy Compa-
ny, when interviewed by a Rec
ord man as to conditions said:
IL do not believe that the peo-
pie OF the cotton States have any
real cause for alarm over the ap-
prehension Of losing the bulk Of
the cotton crop on account Of
q low price incident to the Euro
pean War.
"The people OF the world must
be fed and clothed as usual. If
they are interrupted for a fe "
weeks in transportation facili.
ties that ought not to bankrupt
us, because a way will be found
to supply them. There will be no
embargo on the commerce of the
Pacific. England is our biggest
customer for raw cotton and she
may be depended upon to keep
her mills running. She must have
our cotton. Her navy will see to
that.
"There need notbe any fear in
this country on account OF the
supply of money. The Govern
ment has already attended to
that. Farmers can, this fall, easi-
er than ever before, arrange to
borrow money on their cotton. if
they want to carry it over. This
is absolutely assured.
Business should move along as
usual. In fact, I look for a pc
riod of unusual prosperity in
this country, and especially in
the South, on account of the con-
ditions in Europe. 1t is too bad
to profit by our neighbor's mis-.
fortunes, but that is just what
the war means to the United
States.
"Our cotton mills have been
running along from hand to
mouth since the panic of 1907;
many of them losing money and
few able to make both ends meet.
Some have not been able to keep
running half the time, while 9TH
ers have gone into bankruptcy
and are now standing still. The
war means that they, will very
soon be running night and day.
"This means employment for
thousands at good wages, who
are now idle most of the time,
and an increase in the consump-
tion of raw cotton Of not less
than SO per cent. The cotton
crop will not be sacrificed; we can
manufacture most OF it and send
it abroad, not as raw material,
but as a finished product atgood
prices. When the war is over we
will be able to hold to most OF
the trade that is now waiting for
us.
"But suppose that on account
of the war the world consumes
only $4,000, 900 bales, and we
have to carry over 1900, 900 to
another season? Thatcondition
would not spell disaster. The
Surplus can be financed and cot
ton carried without the slightest
difficulty. In fact, twice that a.
mount could easily be handled,
and the finances of the country
not strained.
"In such a contingency the far
mer, next year, would decrease
his acreage, and by the time the
next crop was harvested, mat
ters would be evened up, with the
producers barns full OF corn, hay
and other food crops to his ever.
lasting benefit, If the war only
has the effsct OF forcing the farm.
er to diversity his crops it will be
of great benefit to him. The
urday morning I boarded the

EBoUT ROBERT SUTTON.
Real Name Was Seddon-His War
 Record-Used Up Legacy.

Major A. D. Mcintyre, who has been in Putnam for a few days after re- turning from a business trip in Yer mont. furnishes some interesting in formation relative to Robert Sutton, who died at the town farm about two weeks ago and about whom little has been known.
 Major Mcintyre says that Sutton en- listed in Company G, Third regiment, c. N. c. fthe Putnam company that went to the Spanish warl when Major Mcintyre was raising it to a war foot ing in 1898. The local officer thinks that Sutton gave his residence at that time as Charleston, N. C., but it sub seauently developed that he was really Robert Seddon. not Sutton; that his father was Thomas Seddon of Charles ton. The father came to see his son and called on Major Mcintyre while the local company was in camp at Camp Marion, N. c. The older Seddon told the local officer that there was some money due his son from a rela- tives estate in Massachusetts, but that he-the father-had done all he could for the son.
 Sutton was honorably discharged from Company G, at the close of the war and when the other members of the command were mustered out. He then re-enlisted with the 46th volun- teers and went. to the Philippines. Af-
