Only There Were No G+enii, and No Miracle Lamp Used
 in Obtaining Results.
BAPTIST MISSION
 ERECTED IN DAY
More Than 1AG Wen Take Part i'll Con- structing House of Worship at Cor ner of Beech and Twcnty"ffts, as
 Thanksgiving Offering.

A church building worth fully $1,- GOO, all colpl.Ge except for the plac- irg of the doors and windows, and tie necessary painting, is the result of the days activities yesterday by the Baptist men and women Of the First Baptist and other churches, in the work of erecting in- one day the Beech street Baptist mission, at 1wa fifth avenue and Beech street.
 There were mere than 100 man to aid in the actual worK yesterday. or these, there were fewer trained ana experienced carpenters and joiners than had ben expected to par tici- pate, this being occasioned by the fact that most of these men con t!nued at their regular employment yesterday. Those who were cut how ever, did great work. and aided the inexperienced men gr atly by direct ing operations and getting things to moving properly and rapidly.
 The gloomy weathsr which pre- vailed throughout the day did not have any effect on the spirit of the workers, who started early. worked steadily and quit only when it becam3 too dark, late in the evening, to do any mere. When thy did quit, how ever, they had the satisfaction Of knowing that they had virtually com pleted a large and well arranged church building, one that will be in use Sunday for Sunday school, even if not for regular religious services.
 There were just about as many women at the scene yesterday as there were men. and they workec just as hard and jun as strenuously, although along different lines. A, noon. the ladies served bounteous repast, which included turkey. goose, chicken. ham and all the delicacies of ths Thanksgiving season. The din ner was served in a big tent and was thoroughly enjoyed by the men. Th- womsn also served supper for the crowd of men about quitting time,

Smith Predicts
Rise for Cotton

Cotton will certainly go be-
yond 10 cents. Just how much
l won't say; but cotton is going
above Is cents q pound"
The above was United States
Senator Smiths optimistic sum-
mary of the cotton situation
when in Columbia Saturday.
His conclusion, he explained,
was based ON two factors:
One, that the 1915 crop will
not be more than 10, 800, 900 bales !;
the other the exorbitant demand
for cotton for the manufacture
of war munitions, which is be-
coming more urgent each day to
meet heavy orders from Europe,
plus the impending crisis in
Mexico and the appeal for in
creased armament in the United
States, incident to threatened
complications with European
countries.
Recent disquieting rumors that
bankers were not properly re-
oLding to the federal reserve
board ruling that money should
be loaned on cotton at 6 per
cent. also came in for attention
by the junior senator. He ex-
planned that he had been in
Washington with the reserve
board, and that while there, at
his suggestion, the board had
agreed that the stream of money
available for discounting cotton
receipts would be shut off from
that bank which discounted cot
ton paper at a higher rate of in
! terest than 6 per cent. Such rul-
ing, he added, precluded the idea
of the banks acquiesc once i'll the
provision of the law as being op.
tional. The banks were com.
PEELED to comply, he asserted, tc
remain an active part OF the fed
eral reserve system.

Report of Grand Jury

Following is vhe report sub
mitted by the Grand Jury at the
September term of Court:
10 His Honor Il. j. Mauldin,
Presiding Judge:
The Grand Jury having passed
on all bills and other matters
submitted to it by the Court
beg to make the following re-
port:
The committee appointed by
US to look after the poor house
report that the poor house is
neatly kept, and in fair condi-
tiou, but needs new buildings
for negro inmates, also a negro
nurse, which we recommend be
secured at once.
The committee on the Jail re-
port it neatly kept and in good
condition.
We recommend that the old
bridge Or the Wadesboro road at
Craigs Mill be torn away by the
owner of same for fear of dam
aging the new steel bridge in
time of freshets.
Our committee on chaing gang
recommend that the prisoners
have suitable clothing and bed
ding to meet their needs.
Our committee on having the
books of the offices of the Coun-
ty audited report that they have
employed an expert accountant
who is now engaged at same.
AS this auditing covers so long
period we beg the indulgence
of the Court for more time to
complete this work.
We recommend that the Su-
perintendent of Education en-
ploy some clerical help at q sala-
ry not exceeding $4,000 that he
may be able to give more time
to the schools cf the County.
Having no further business we
wish to thank the Presiding
Ju lge and other officers Of the
Court for the courtesies exteu-
ded, and that we be excused
from further duties at this ses-
sion of the Court, all of which is
respectfully submitted.

German people, money, soldiers
and the economic situation.

German people, money, soldiers
and the economic situation.
The strongly PATRIOTIC "Vos-
sische Zeitung" states that
while the three war loans issued
respectively on August IA, 1914,
Dece N Der 2, 1914, and March 20,
1915, asked for twenty billions
marks only thirteen billions
were raised. Other papers frank
ly admit that at present the
country's financial position is
desperate.
A new effort is now to be
made to raise new armies to
make up for the dreadful losses
suffered in Poland and Russia.
The three classes Of 1917, 1918
and 1919 are to be called to the
colors at once.
Part of the German press also
takes very gloomy view of the
military situation particularly
Russia.
Thus the "Neuchener Neuste
NaGhrichten" writes: The OBJ
ject Of the German army should
be to destroy the Russian armies
rather than capture fortresses.
The Russian armies continue to
carry out retreat that was
planned by master mind and
spendidly carried out. Only i'll
the open field may we hope to
win victory that will sea! tie
fate of the Russian armies.
The capture OF fortresses is all
very we'll, but if we do nothing
but that, the Russian army lead
ers will have every reason to
feel exultant. The great ques,
| tion is, when shall we succeed
in annihiliationg the Russian
army. To be or not to be is the
question which today faces the
IGerman as we'll as the Russian
armies.
The Balkans
Asa measure of elementary
prudence" Greece has ordered

military forces.

parations have brought the last

The Great War;

Successful attacks by the Brit
ish and French to the north of
Arras aud by the French in the
Champagne region are announc-
ed from Paris. The enemy's ad-
vanced positions on the entire
Champagne front attacked are
said to have been occupied and
continued progress is reported.
French batteries cooperated
with British warships in bonn
harding German positions On
the Belgian coast.
The German War Office offici-
ally announces that the Anglo
French artillery preparation was
of great intensity and that the
long expected offensive move
ment by the Allies has begun.
The Russians are believed to
be more than holding their own.
In the West the artillery is the
only arm that could be consid-
cred at all active, while in the

tier a few local infantry attacks
have broken the monotony OF
the artillery fire.
The German aggressive in the
East has become noticeably
weaker the last few days. With
| the increasing extent of theil
penetration of Russian territory
the impetuous strides with which
the Germans for time made
fast headway have been gradu
ally shortening Up. At the same
time the Russian offensive, with
the replenlshment Of the army's
military supplies, is growing
more stubborn.
On the western front the Brit
ish and French captured in two
days more than 10000 unwound
ed prisoners, according to the
French official communication o
Monday.

ruary of next year.
1t will be recalled that two
factions, the Arants ON one side
and the Wallace Vests on the
other, met on the streets of
Pageland last March aud engag-
ed in a general combat. When
smoke of battle cleared away
four men were down; several
others were slightly wounded.
OF the four shot down, one,
w esley Arant, was killed in
stantly; Dock Wallace died five
days later. The other two, Babe
Arant and West boy, though
badly wounded, recovered.
Solicitor Spears made no at
tempt to bring the case to trial
at the June term of Court.
In drawing the indictment,
the Solicitor incorporated all
cases and all defendants in one
Indictment, bis position being
that the affair was mutual
com bat and all defendants were
equally guilty.
When the case was called
Tuesday morning the attorney :
for the Arants asked for their
Constitutional three days; the
attorneys for the Wallace Vests
asked for immediate trial.
On motion of the state the
Court ordered the trial contin-
ued to the next term.
Some of the lava biding citi-
zens are wondering when, if ever,
this case is to come to trial as
there is slim chance of q trial in
