CARAVANS SUCCESS MEANS
MUCH TO THE PRESIDENs

Washington. October 21.-Success by
sCarranza in restoring peace to Mexi-
co will remove from critics OF e
dent wilson one of the points they
have raised most frequently against
him and will strengthen substantially
he cause of the Democratic party IN
1916 according to opinions held her
in impartial quarters.
Aside from doubts that have been
held about Carranza's personal fitness
fer executive duties there r condi-
lions In Mexico which are favorable
to his success. Lacking n month i've
years have passed since the new epock
of revolution was entered and in tEaJ
period the Mexican people have Wit
messed strife and bloedshed whoa
have seemed to result in little less
than personal glory for leaders. The
best element of the Nation is reported
anxious to find a basis of cooperation
for all elements while the bloodthirsty,
except in certain quarters have worn
themselves to comparative quiet.
The campaigns by opposing bands in
ali parts of the country have devastat-
ed the fields. No accounts are availa-
bic indicating that leaders of armies
have employed organized means of pro-
ducing supplies from the ground. The
chances of continued resistance by
both Villa and Zapata have been great
ly weakened through this circum-
stances.
The embargo on arms to these fac
tons as announced by President Will
son will reduce them still further to a
condition of non-resistance.
Carranza could have hardly failed.
it is pointed out with natural condi-
tions and the United States backing
him. His greatest chance for failure
will be his own lack of tact il dealing
with his leaders, several of whom are
said to lack patriotism, being actuated

DIR. SCHEPPEGRELL KEEPS UP
FIGHT AGAINST HAY.FEYER-

DR.. v. Scheppegrell of New Orleans,
who has a summer home in Hender-
~sCnyiIle1 keeps. up with fight against
rag-Weeds and other causes Of hay
fever.
DR.. Scheppegrell, who is president
of the American Hay-Fever-Prevent1on
association, states that what has been
effected in New Orleans can be done
in all other towns and cities, and Ell
forts in TINS direction will be started
in the spring.
Hay-h'eVer is a distinctive PREVENT
bic disease, and DR.. Scheppegrel be-
lieyes that in a few years cases Will
become rare. The length of time Will
depend upon the degree to which 10
calities are infected with the h~ay-feVer-
producing weeds and the energy OF the
people in destroying them.
In some of the smaller towns, es-
pecially those catering to summer VS.
itors, this will probably be accomplish
ed before next summer. The state
ment that a town is free of hay-teVer
will prove an advertisement, that Will
easily repay the cost of destroying the
hay-fever-pToducing weeds.
DR.. Scheppegrell has the following
to say about the campaign n New Or
leans:
After having started a campaign OF
public education in the United States,
showing that hay-fever is due to the
pollen of weeds and that fall hay-feVer,
the most common form, is due in al
most all cases to the two varieties OF
rag-weed, the Common Rag-weed
(Ambrosia Artemisiifolia) found in the
Middle and Northern States and the
Giant Rag-weed (Ambrosia Tridfa)
more common in the moist lands of the
Coast, the American Hay-Fever-Pre-
vention Association has concentrated
its first efforts in New Orleans with
the first inning to it's credit.
"The public was first educated re-
garding the rag-weeds, SO that they
could be easily recognized. IIlustra-
tions of the weeds were published in
the Bulletin of the State Medical Board
of Health and the public press, and the
live weeds. in full development, were
exhibited in the shoW-windows of the
principal street.
''The City of New Orleans, through
the Commissioner of Public Works,
placed at the disposal of the Associa-
ton twenty %convicts, who cleared the
streets and sidewalks of the outer
sections of the city of the weeds, in
accordance with a map prepared by the
Typographical Committee of the AssO-
citation showing the areas infected with
r~ag-weed."

TRANSYLVANI4 DIDN'T ACr ON
FRUITLAND INSTITUTE MATTER

+ The Carolina Baptist association at
its recent annual meeting at BaIfour
appointed a committee to confer with
the Pennsylvania association with
reference to cooperation in the sup
port of Fruitland Institute since
Pennsylvania has been thinking about
establishing a UNCONVENTIONAL school
for some time, but this committed
representations seemed of little avail
for the present, judging from the fol-
lowing extract from the proceedings
carried in the Sylvan Valley News:
The ever recurring question of the
establishment of a denominationai
school within the bounds of the asso-
citation came up for discussion again
this year. and representatives of the
Frultland Institute were again on
hand to renew, for the fourth time,
their invitation to this association to
join with the Carolina Association in
the maintenance and management of
that institution, and for the fourth time
this association postponed action on
the proposition, the leaders believing
it possible to establish a school here
at home.
"Fhe report of the educational COM
mittee, which was adopted recon-.
mended that a committee be appointed
to Investigate the various sites for a
school in this county and try to formu-
late some practical plan of starting a
school in the county and report at the
next session of the association. The
executive committee elected at this
session, composed of ]. M. Hamlin,
w. B. Henderson and w. r. Fitzpatrick,
were placed in charge of the matter
with instructions to get careful consid-
Grafton to any plan suggested"

The great audience bowed %reverent

After the prayer another hymn was
announced, and the chorus leader
again took charge.
An offering was taken to defray the
expenses of erecting the tabernacle

gelist declaring that these offerings
would be taken up for a week or two
until all the money needed for the ex

crowds began to fill the building they
found 1t warm and comfortable as a
church. The floor Of the tabernacle
was covered with sawdnst. which
made a clean and warm kind of car
pet. ..The sawdust trail" which soon
became a common expression in Bron-
son referred to the sawdust aisles
down which the ~penitents passed in 60
ing forward TO confess their faith.
The chorus leader had already as
sumed the command. and the vast
choir of upward of 1000 voices was
singing enthusiastically. leading the
great audience of 10000 people. in the
well known and ever popular hymn.

day himself appeared.
Down in the human heart. crushed by the

Feelings lie buried which grace can re-

Touched by a loving hand. Weakened by
kindness.
Chords that are broken will vibrate once

As the multiplied thousands sang the
familiar words they seemed to throb
with a new meaning. and the pillows
OF sacred song reyerberated in mighty
volume through the tabernacle and far
out we the city. Reginald Nelson
was sitting at the press table on the
platform, gazing out oyer the sea of
eager upturned faces, while this verse
was being sung Then his eye caught
the figure of the evangelist coming In
at u side door.
He strobe up the aisle toward the
platform. unbuttoning his oyercoat as
he walked. Ascending a short stair
way, he pulled off his o%vercoat. threw
1t on a chair and walked to the center
of the rostrum where the pulpit stand
had been placed. He was the instant
focus for $4,000 eyes as he stood there
leaning against the stand. Although
past forty years of age. he looked still
younger. ant, his figure seemed small
and slight against the background of
the thousand voiced choir. But Regi-
maid had noticed the confident air with
which he assembled the platform and
the athletic pose of the man as he
stood facing the audience. He could
see the strong, determined face, the
swift glance of the flashing eye and
the physical vigor which in former
days had made him the leetest base
runner in all America.

Strength for thy labor the Lord will pro-
vide.

right when Mr.. Townley unexpectedly
~interposed his doubling comment.
"My recent studies in the social sci
ences,' responded Mr.. Townley in a
serious tone of voice, 'have been con
vincing me that our churches have
been altogether IN the wrong track,
We have been seeking the individual
only. MT. Sunday represents the old
type of evangelism, which lays stress
on the individual. What we need is
the new evangelism, which sees clear
~ that the individual is exactly what
society makes him. We must seek to
regenerate society instead of wasting
our time with individuals"
Allan Rutledge looked closely at his
companion and remained silent.
Take Bronson as an example of
what l mean continued Mr.. Townley.
There are numbers OF young men and
women who are led astray in Bronson
every year, but these young people are
not so much to blame. Society is to

Ian Rutledge to himself, as he met the

to the large band of ~gospelers. The
building of the immense tabernacle, the
discussion of the value Of Mr.. Sundays
work in a community, the newspaper
advertising which was given to the en-

position of the enemies of MI. Sunday
assisted in centering the attention Of
the entire city on the evangelist from
the time of his entrance into Bronson.
In the evening long before the time

first service. the roads leading In the
