"Latbolics," says the Bos
> ton Journal for November
18th. will not attend any OF
| the MEETINGS which Billy
Sunday is holding, according
to an article in the Pilot, tht
ofic al organ of the Catholic
church in the Boston dioceFe
The Iea<ous put fortIl are
from an article by the I.cy,
Patrick H. Casey, s. J.
Says the Pilot: "Mr. Sum-
day is preaching a defective,
incomplete Christianity, a
Christianity from which are
cut away numerous dogmas
as doar to us as life itself
Our absence is our protest.
A silent protest, no doubt,
but none the less emphatic
for those who care to no
tice it.
"Catho'ics know full well
that the Tabernacle service
is a Protestant service. 1t l.
a religious service. tits con-
ducled by Protestant. 1t
is held uudor Protestant aus
pices Bat above all, every
doctrina distinctly Catholic
is eliminated from the
preaching. This is done not
by any choice or preference
of the preacher, but hy the
very natur, of the case, by
the demands of the religion
he professrs, and by the very
managem ent under which he
works
Nov speaking generally
and without going into subs
tie distinctions which have
no bearing on the present
question, Catholics are not
allowed to take part in a Pro-
testant service not even a
mere passive part. Why?
Possibly they give no scandal.
Possibly their faith is in no
way endangered, And the
supposition is that they take
no active part in the service.
Their part is that of mere at
tentive, interested listeners.
But this is a part This is an
important part. It is a part
that nightly contributes to
the success and influence of
the service.
"You may contribute to
the service by joining in the
chorus, bJ putting a coin in
ths pan. or by putting your~
self under the magic of the
speaker. Your attention,
your interest, your Catholic
attitudA of reverence, all
contribute to the success OF
the meeting, therefore to the
succ rs Of Professionalism to
the SUI cess Of a religion which
you b lievo to be false, and
only a mutilated form of
Christianity. This is disloy
atty to your own religion.
And SO, no matter what
we may think Of this great
revival. no matter how much
We may admire the powers of
the reviValist, no matter how
much We may marvel at his
tire|ess energy. we have to
stand aloof from the service

COAST ARTILLERY MAY co TO FRANCE,

COAST ARTILLERY MAY co TO France.
Calling Of this Branch Deferred Ten Days
Salisbury Boys Slated for Promotion.
Saturday the adjutant genera
of the state, General Royster
forwarded advice he had. received
from Washington, to Maj E I
| Kuykendall, commander of the
coast artillery corps OF the state,
lat Greensboro, to the effect that
the date of the, calling into mo-
bilization of the corps had been
deferred 10 days. The original
orders were for July Is and the
telegram which came here from
Washington, via Raleigh, Satur-
day was to the effect that the
coast artillery of North Carolina
would be modified July Is.
This came as surprise to
the members of the Guilford
Grays, who were getting ready
to don their uniforms on the
18th.
Not only are the boys of the
local company affected by this
changed order, but the other
companies of the cor 'sF located
in Salisbury, Charlotte Raleigh.
Hendersonville and Wilmington
are also interested.
Major Kuykendall is head Of
the corps of six we'll trained
companies of big gun specialists,
all recruited to full war strength.
There is probably not a better
aggregation in the south than
this coast artillery corps, and it
is believed that the chances are
decidedly in favor Of their early
sailing for France. Many had
counted on the coast artillery
men going to man the forts on
the coast, but those locally in
terested do not figure this way
They are believing more and
more that coast artillery men will
lbe wanted in large numbers with
General Pershing. It is pointed
out that the heavy siege guns
which are moved about from
place to place in Europe are in
reality more like big mortars of
the coastal forts than they are
the old fashioned artillery, and
therefore the kind of training
which makes good gunners al
Caswell is the kind necessary
to the management of the big
field guns.
With these facts in view the
IGuilford Grays will not be great.
ly surprised. it is understood, if
their stay is short at Caswell, or
wherever they go on the first
call.
| During the past few days,
Major Kuykendall has been con
Quoting an examination of off.
GERS and enlisted men of his
corps for promotions. Those
who stood tests here were as
follows:
First Lieut.. ] H Mckenzie, of
the fourth company, of Salisbu
ry; Second Lieut.. Charles A
Dixon, of the fifth company,
Charlotte; Sergeants Charles
Denny, Robert Van Poole and R
Goodson: of the Salisbury COM
pany; Corporals Guy L Helms
and Stanley R Martin; and Pri-
Yates William S Wallace, Charles
L Shaver and J L Waggoner, all
of the Salisbury company.

MILL POND CHANGES HANDS

Mcmillan Pond Purchased by
Owners of Surrounding Land
1t Will be Drained at Expiration
of Lease of Fishing Club-Eistoric
Grist Mill Will be Shut Down
Mrs. Penelope T. Mcmillan sold
Friday to Messrs. A. w. Mclean, A.
I. Mclean, L. H. Caldwell and How
and Morrison the old Mcmillan mill
pond, about miles from Lumberton
on the Carthage road. There are
around $50 acres in the pond and the
purchasers paid $3.50 for it. The
purchasers all own land bordering on
the pond and bought it for the pur-
pose of turning the water out of the
pond to keep in from sobbing their
land. The water will not all be drawn
off for some time, however, as the
Riverside Fishing club has a 6-year
lease on the pond and the water will
not be drawn low enough to interfere
with the fish until the lease expires,
1t is said that when the water is
freed from the pond it will benefit
all those who own land on Saddle
tree swamp for miles up the stream
from the mill.
The grist mill, which has been op-
Grated for 125 years, will be closed
down. This historic old pond was
flrst known as the Rhodes pond, lat.
er the Morisey pond, and for many
years as the Mcmillan pond.

To All Officers and Employees:
Your government, in its fight for
the maintenance of its rights, needs
and asks the active support and as

their abilities. It needs men for its
armies and it needs dollars to pay,
to equip and to feed the men in the
armies and to supply them munitions
and other war materials.
All citizens are expected to do
their part to win the war. Railroad
workers are needed at home to run
the railroads as an indispensable part
of the national defense. They can
show their patriotism by doing their
Fart at home, by saving and lending
their savings to the government.
The government is now offering
$4,000, 100000 Of Liberty Loan bonds
at par and interest, in denominations
Of $4,000, $4,000, $4,000 and ST.

paying for bonds subscribed for, the
company will arrange for each en-
plcye who may so desire to paw for
the subscription in twelve equal
monthly installments to be deducted
from his wages. There can be no
question about the bonds issued bv
the government under this loan be-
ing a safe investment, and anyone
buying them will be doing a patri-
otto act that will be highly appreciat-
ed by the government at Washing
ton.
When for any cause an employee!

subscribe for bonds ceases and the
moneys paid on account will be re-
funded with interest at 8 IL per cent
