Raid on Morsanton, N. c.

On Wednesday evening last, infor-
nation was brought that a raid was In
progress on Morganton, N. c., and that
the mayor Of Charlotte had telegraph
ed to Chester for assistance. A meet
ing was held at once and company
formed who proceeded to Chester,
which place they reached at II o'clock
the same evening, but learning by a
dispatch that their services would not
be needed as sufficient force had
gone forward to disperse the raiders
who proved to be tories, deserters,
ETC., further particulars Of which will
be found in our columns today. The
promptness Of our town folks was
highly creditable and the large as
semblage Of ladies at the depot to
cheer them on was evidence that their
hearts were with us, and that old
York can still keep up the credit Of
the Kings Mountain district. Our
friends all returned home satisfied at
least, with knowing who were to be
depended on when danger did come
near home. The following Is the roll
Of volunteers:

Briggs, lieutenant; Rev. ]. M. Ander-
son, James B. Allison, Absolom Cody,

, beaming eyes. "I am so glad to know
that Mr.. Nelson has decided the ques-
ton. 1 could see every night how his
interest in the sermons Of Mr.. Sunday
was increasing. Is not Mr.. Sunday a
wonder?"
He is a man qualified by God for
wonderful work in our country"
said George Caldwell, earnestly.
Are you going to Augsley this even
ing, Joy?"
"Yes, mama, I promised DR.. Rut-
ledge that I would accompany them
tonight and sing solo,"
Joy Graham and her mother were
talking one morning about two weeks
after the close Of the tabernacle meet
ings. Augsley was a small town near
Bronson and a number Of the new
converts had planned to accompany
Allan Rutledge and Mr.. Townley and
hold an evangelistic meeting in Augs-
ley. Not only this village, but whole
circle of small towns around Bronson
were in this way to share the religious
enthusiasm which had been generated
during the Sunday campaign.
do you think Roland would care
to go?" asked joys mother.
isn't it too bad that neither Roland
nor papa got any good from those
wonderful meetings? If only they had
attended they would soon have seen
that their judgment Of our evangelist
was prejudiced." There was a little
tremble in Joys voice and the suspi-
cion of q tear as she spoke.
well, we'll, child, we will have to
make the best Of it," responded Mrs
Graham. I'VE ought to be happy that
so many have been won to the Chris
tian faith during the past month.
was reminded Of the old time revivals
which supposed were utterly impos-
sible in this day Of culture"
AS Mrs Graham said, the Sunday
meetings had been an unparalleled
success. Upwards Of 5000 converts
had professed conversion to the reli-
gion Of Christ. Among these were many
Of the public men Of the community
including almost every county officer
a number Of lawyers, some Of the
most prominent physicians, as well as
werl known business men. During the
last week Billy Sunday had carried
everything before him. The Courier
carried his sermons far and wide over
southern Michigan, and this had stir
red up the churches in the surround

We copy the following tribute to
our ladies from the Chester Standard,
for we feel it not undeserved, and we
take pride in the manner they have
carried out their noble undertaking.
We agree also with the Standard as
regards the exhibitions Of mistaken
kindness that have occurred in feeding
the Yankee ruffians who were en- route
for prison after leaving the scenes OF
murder, arson and rapine, which have
distinguished them when they were
at liberty to carry them out. No
let the Confederate government fur
nish them the usual rations and let
them live on that. Our own sick and
wounded require all our care, and let
our efforts be directed to their COM
fort and welfare"
"All hail to the noble women Of
Yorkville! The ladies Of Yorkville, on
learning that the trains from Charles
ton were daily and nightly pass
ing our place, freighted with wound
ed soldiers from Virginia, immediate
ly held an informal meeting to make
arrangements with the view to aid
our own patriotic women In furnish
ing refreshments to the brave and
noble fellows who have shed their
blood in our defense. For a week
past committe Of six, loaded with
substantial food and delicacies Of all
kinds has attended daily and uniting
with their sisters Of Chester, have dis
pensed JOY and comfort to the re-
turning heroes. All honor to the noble
women! Many are the thanks and
blessings we have heard pronounced
by these suffering men for the un-
wearied kindness Of these ministering
angels, and numerous the vows that
in defense Of such mothers and daugh-
ters they will expend the last drop OF
that purple current which animates
their mortal frames.
I'VE cannot omit the opportunity
Of paying just tribute to w. A. Latta,
Esq, president Of the K. M. r. R. Co.,
with that liberality and public spirit
which so eminently characterizes him,
he has directed that the committee
attending daily at Chester shall be al
lowed to pass up and down the railroad
free Of charge"

Edison Will Not Stand for Any Mis-
represented.
Thomas A. Edison gave out the fol-
lowing letter recently, regarding the
fire in the Edison plant:
1.-THE Detroit Brick Manufacturers
and Dealers association Is distribut-
ing throughout the United States a
pamphlet entitled, The Edison Fire,
the contents consisting Of a reprint
of an article appearing in a trade
journal, The Clay Worker The en-
tire purpose Of this publication Is to
discredit, and If possible, retard the
use of reinforced concrete in the con-
struction of fireproof buildings.
"The results Of the fire at my plant
on December 8, are used in an entire
ly false and misleading manner. OF
the seven reinforced concrete build
ings none was destroyed. A small
section of the upper floor was support
ed by the lower house. The pam
phlet referred to presents three views
Of this, the suggestion being that they
were Of three different buildings.
The brick administration building
which remains standing, was protect
ed by an adjacent concrete building
and was not subjected to the fire.
Every brick and steel building
which was attacked by the fire was
completely destroyed, together with
all the machinery they contained,
while the damage done to the con-
crete buildings amounted to about 12s
per cent, and Of the machinery con-
tanned in the concrete buildings SO per
cent was saved and is now in opera
tion. Manufacturing was resumed in
some Of the old concrete buildings
within a few weeks after the date Of
the fire."

ing villages, and they had asked for
son. Under the leadership Of Allan
Rutledge a series Of meetings were
arranged, and that evening a COM
pany, including Reginald Nelson, Ed
intended to inaugurate this new and
strange evangelism by holding
meeting in Augsley.
Il will go down to Roland's office
this morning and see if cannot per-
suade him to go with me tonight"
said Joy, after q pause. IF he can
hear Mr.. Prince give his testimony it
may be as good as a sermon from Mr..
Sunday, because Roland has always
been an admirer of Mr.. Prince"
1T is a very unpleasant day to be
out" answered Mrs. Graham, looking
out of the window. The March winds
were blowing furiously and the trees
were bending before the blasts.
Il will take the street car" respond
ed the girl promptly. 'I am not afraid
of these March breezes.''
In a little while Joy Graham enter
ed the private office of Reginald Greg
ory. The young manufacturer was
alone, sitting with downcast head,
and before he was able to glance up
and see who his visitor was, Joy Gra-
ham noticed hardness about his face
which was new to her
What were you thinking about?"
asked Joy, when she had seated her
self.
She looked closely at Reginald as
she asked the question, and she saw
an uneasy look come to his eyes. But
he turned to her lightly and asked,
And what may your thoughts be this
morning. my JOY? What is on your
mind that you have journeyed down to
the office such a day as this?"
Il want to invite you to come with a
party Of us to Augsley this evening.
We are going to hold a meeting there,
and l have promised to sing"
He was silent moment and said a
little tastily:
that clown, Sunday, left town. Are
they going to keep up this religious
nonsense all summer"
Roland, how can you talk SOP" re-
sponded the girl reprovingly. You
