Pastor" Russell Dead

Charles Taze Russell, known as
Pastor" Russell, an independent
minister, editorof the Watch tow
er and prominent authorof stud
les on the Scriptures, died on an
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
train en- route from Los Angeles
to New York on the 3lst. Heart
disease was given as the cause.
Pastor Russell was president OF
the Interna tional Bible Students
Association OF London and the
Watch Tower Bible and Tract
Society OF Pennsylvania, and an
author of studies OF the Scrip.
lures. He was born in Pittsburg
Pa February 16, 1862.
Mr.. Russell, who was en- route
from Los Angeles to New York,
complained OF feellngill as he was
leaving Los Angeles, his secretary
said, and his condition gradually
grew worse until death came.

Virginia Now on Dry List

At the stroke of IL on the night
OF October 31st every church bell
in Richmond tolled for 10 min.
utes, whistles and sirens shrieked
and the few remaining saloons
closed their doors for the last
time. The passing OF the legal
lied liquor business was variously
celebrated. While thousands OF
people, many garbed in Hallow
cen costumes, paraded the streets
and other thousands struggled
for their turns for the final drink
at the bars, the churches held SER
vices OF prayer and jubilation.
Clubs and fashionable hotels held
"open house" and in some cases
what liquor remained was dis
pensed free of cost. While the
night was a wild and boisterous
one on the streets, there was no
serious disorder and the extra
policemen stationed in the saloon
and retail districts had little to
do. Half of the saloons had dis
posed OF their liquor by nightfall
and from that hour on until mid
night they at once locked their
doors and when the final minute
came few had any stocks remain
ing.
The last day OF the "wet" re-
gime was marked by heavy sales
to citizens. 1t is estimated by
liquor dealers that local buyers
have expended not less than 49,.
100000 in stocking up their cel-
lars. Buying of similar propor-
tionsis reported from all sections
of the state.

Coal Famine in New York

Coincident with the unprece.
dented cost in the price OF domes-
tic coal to $12.50 a ton here to.
lay, retail merchants notified the
public that only conservation OF
the supply and the limitation OF
deliveries to one ton q customer
would avert o famine. .
The soaring prices are due, re-
tailers and wholesalers agree, to
the enormous demands of manu-
featuring plants, which are work.
ing either full time, over time or
double time, the shortage OF I'M.
skilled labor at the mines, the
freight car shortage, the prema.
ture consumption of the reserve

10 Erect a Memorial
To the editor Watauga Democrat.

To the editor Watauga Democrat.
1t has been decided to erect in
Blowing Rock a memorial to Doc
tor Parlier, a memorial which
shall be a lasting and well de-
served tribute from his friends
and neighbors who appreciate
hisearnest, sympathetic and help
full life among them.
1t is proposed that this memo
rial shall take the form of a gran
ite bowlder, carrying a bronze
tablet bearing an inscription
which shall, in a few fitting words,
tell the story OF his useful life,
this memorial to be surrounded
by an appropriate iron railing.
Such a simple yet substantial
monument, it is thought, would
be most typical OF the man.
1t is hoped thatallof his friends
will consider this communication
as on invitation to contribute to
the necessary funds, as those hav.
ing the matter in charge are par
ticularly anxious that all who
knew and loved DR.. Parler may
feel that they have a share in this
tribute of respect and affection,
whatever the size OF their contri.
button. No amount in excess OF
$500 will be accepted from any
one. ~
The undersigned, requesting
that all local contributions be
sent to either MIR. E. S. Coffey of
Boone or Mr.. George NJ. Sudderth
Of Blowing Rock, will correspond
directly with those summer resi-.
dents who cherish in constant
loving memory the pleasure and
benefit which came to them thru
their association with the good
man.

Mrs. Mary Blair received inju-
ries from which she died four
hours later and several Others
were painfully injured in an au-
tomobile wreck near the Conley
place, on the Hickory road, Sun
day afternoon about 4 o'clock.
The other occupants Of the auto
mobile were Mrs. ]. Gordon Bal
lew, Miss Matte Mae Ballew,
owner of the car; Miss Fannie
Jones, Of Yonkers, N. Y, who is
visiting Miss Ballcw, and Fred.
erick Dula, the young son Of DR..
and Mrs, A. W. Dula.
The accident happened just this
side of the Conley place at the
creek bridge. There is a mighty
close turn, going from this way,
to get on the bridge. The ap-
proach leads down the side OF the
hill and turns abruptly at right
angles on the bridge. This turn
is almost too short for big cars
and when Miss Ballew drove her
car on the bridge Sunday after.
noon the left front fender struck
the guard rail on the lower side
of the bridge. A quick turn OF
the steering wheel, together with
the force of the car striking the
guard rail, sent the car off the
bridge on the upper side. In the
twelve feet fall that followed all
the occupants but Mrs Blair and
Frederick Dula were thrown clear
of the automobile. The Dula boy
fell safely between the seats, but
Mrs. Blair was caught across the
back OF one OF the seats and was
held there for probably twenty
minutes or longer, until help
could be secured to lift the car
and take her. out. Mrs. Blair was
conscious and remained 80 until
a few minutes before her death.
Just as soon as she was taken
from under the car she was
brought here to the house OF her
daughter, Mrs. j. Gordon Bal
lew, where everything possible
was done for her by physicians
and surgeons. Forseveral hours
the family and friends thought
that there were no internal inju.
ries. However, after several hours
she lapsed into unconsciousness
and died very shortly.
Mrs. Mary Blair was the wife
of the late Geo. FL. Blair, who
died last February. She was a
sister of the late Mrs. j G. Bal-
lew, whose husband served in the
war as q major. She was the
mother of Mrs. j. Gordon Bal!ew,
Jr., and is also survived by two
other children, Mr.. j. r. Blair, OF
Thomasville, and MIR. Neil Blair,
who lives at the old home place
in Watauga.
The body OF Mrs. Blair was ia.
ken to Boone yesterday, and to-
day it will be placed at rest in the
family plot in the Boone cemetery.
| Both Mrs. Ballew and Miss Bal.
lew are prostrated with grief and
friends have been much concerned
about their condition. Miss Jone'
is suffering from q broken or bad
ly sprained arm. The Others re-
ceived minor bruises and scratch
es only.

Charlotte Observer.
There have been several nota.
BILE discussions recently by men
eminent in commerce and finance
on what possible conditions are
to face American trade at the
close OF the warm Europe. Chair.
man Hurley OF the Federal Trade
Commission has delivered an ad.
dress in New York on the subject
in which he predicted that "with.
in five years q new Europe will
ne competing with us with war
sharpened brains and war.har.
dened muscles" and he spoke
fearfully of this competition. On
the other hand, DR.. Edward Ew-
ing Pratt, chief OF the Bureau of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce
OF the American Manufacturers
Association, and who should be
a qualified authority, takes the
view that American manufactur.
ers and exporters will be easily
able to hold their own, in the
coming trade struggle. He fouts
the idea that the United States
will be flooded with low-priced
European products. Such an
idea, he says, is based on a worn
out and obsolete theory Of our
National economy. Doctor Pratt
cites actual conditions in war
torn Europe in support of his
confidence. 1t is perhaps a fact
that stocks Of all sorts OF goods
IN Europe have been exhausted.
He is informed that the shelves
OF wholesale and retail houses
are fairly stripped, that machin-
cry OF obsolete design is being
pressed into service, that make.
shifts are resorted to at every
turn. 1t is a commonly accepted
fact among business men that
there is no catastrophe: $50 great

We know that the credit of Eu,

ed to the breaking point in order

Doctor Pract has a poor opin.
ion OF a protective tariff, q tariff
for revenue or free trade. What
we need, he says, is q bargaining
tariff, one which should enable
us to get the maximum advan.
tage OF international trade. Ii
is a pleasure to note that Doctor
Pratt gives endorsement to the
idea Of Congressman Webb, al
writted into his bill to promote
exports. He gives expression to

Rev. NJ. A. Adams.
Many Of the intelligent citizens
OF our State do not know the size
or the spirit OF this movement.
1t is immense and significant.
It started in the early days OF
our history as q State. 1t was
born out OF the sincere aspira-
tions OF q plain pioneer people.
But it has outrun the pace OF the
State in it's growth in popula-
tion, wealth, and culture. Itnow
numbers at least 275, 900 white
people. This says nothing OF
over 200, 900 negro Baptist, moth
ing OF thousands OF children in
Baptist families, nothing OF tens
OF thousands of synpathizers
with the Baptist view OF Christi
anity. There are almosta as many
Baptists in North Carolina as all
other church members put togeth
or. There are in this state sixty
four Baptist districtassociation
over two thousand''and one hun
dred Baptist churches. Still the
movement grows by leaps and
bounds. At the present rate OF
increase by 1850 there will be in
our State at least 60O,0 white
Bap'ists.
Three fourths of the North Car.
olina Baptist strength is in the
country. That puts on Baptist
shoulders the bulk of the obliga-
tion for religious leadership in the
present rejuvenation OF our coun-
try districts. 1t isa serious ques.
tion whether they will measure
up to the obligation. The CON-
monwealth has them under test
at this point.
Some think that the only pecu-
liarity Of Baptists is their mode
Of baptism. But their distinct.
iveness runs far deeper than that;
baptism is only symbolical. But
to them, that is important, just
because it is simply a'symbol.
Right OF access to each soul to
God, the absolute equality Of all
believers in Christ, the integrity
and sovereignty of each locaI
church, these are some OF their
fundamental distinctions.
Their faith is the religious un.
derpinning for democracy; the
moral foundations OF the modern
republic. ''' ,e,

Carolina have already grown
