INTEREST CROWS
IN REVIVAL FOR
TWOOF CHURCHES

Rarely has interest grown so rapidly
in a meeting as has been been in the
revival now in progress IS the First
Methodist church, Evangelist Moore
has improved greatly sinse his last
visit to this place. Moore believes in
the gospel that he breaches and with
his intense manner and energetic ges-
lures, he commands the attention and
interest of his hearers from the first to
the last word of his messages.
Last night the choir platform was
nearly filled, and some very fine sing
ing was heard. The song book which
the party is using has some very fine
congregational songs, and the choir and
congregation are fast learning them,
and it is predicted that this meeting
will see some of the greatest religious
singing ever heard at revival. Mr..
Stapleton knows his business, and as a
chorus leader his work is fast showing
results. He has organized junior
choir also, and the young people are
singing the songs in manner not to
be outdone by their seniors.
Last night Evangelist Moore preach
ed on the Lost Christ" He showed
where people lost Christ in this world,
and how easy it was to do so. Mary
and Jesus thought Christ was with
them in the temple" said the speaker,
but he was not, and they had lost him
for full day before they knew it.
They lost him at the most unlikely
place in the most unlikely time. Many
of you folks here tonight I have seen
with the light of heaven on your faces,
you were willing to talk religion AMI
pray with your friends, but you have
lost Christ. Where did you lose him
Not in one great act of wickedness,
know, but you have gradually drifted
away, neglecting prayer meeting, neg
lecting Sunday services and things OF
that sort until now some of you are
many days journey from him, and do
not know it, for you are going on the
supposition that he is with you. tell
you that you have got to so back to
the place where you lost him, find him
and make up your minds that never
again are you going to lose him." This
was a great message, and was listened
to with wrapt attention.
Services will continue each day at
10 a. m. and at 7:45 p. M, and every
enc is cordially invited to attend. Sing
ers of all denominations have cordial
Invitation from Mr.. Stapleton to take
part in the singing and their work will
be greatly appreciated.

vAWTER INSANE IS
PLEA FOR DEFENSE

CIRISTIANSBURG, Va, May g.
The defense at the trial of Pro. Chas.
E. Vawter, a Virginia Polytechnic In
stitute instructor, charged with the
murder of Stockton Heth, Jr., intro
Quoted physicians to prove Vawter in
sane. On the stand yesterday the de-
PENDANT testified he killed Heth be-
cause of alleged improper relations
between him and Mrs. Vawter.
Letters introduced by the prosecu-
ton yesterday, written by Vawter, said
that knowledge of Heth's relations
with Mrs. Vawter would not interfere
with their friendship, and asked Heth
to advance money with which Vawter
proposed to pay certain of his debts.
These letters, it is explained, induced
tie introduction of the insanity plea,
it having been announced previously
that the defense would rely upon the
"unwritten law" to clear the defend
ant.
Later in the afternoon the attorneys
for the defense indicated they had no
purpose to rely on the insanity theory
but wanted to prove Vawter was in
sane when he wrote the letter to
Heth, thereby destroying its value to
the prosecution.

FARMERS SHOULD APPORTION
SURPLUS SEED AMONG OTHERS

ATLANTA, Ga, May S.-Every far
mer in Georgia who has more corn or
potatoes, or peas, or velvet beans, or
syrup cane seed, or anything else in
the food crop line for planting purposes
tan he actually needs for his own use,
is urged as a patriotic duty to his
country to apportion his surplus
among brother farmers at the fair mar =
ket prices, so that they can plant food
crops. tg
That there is a very serious, not to
say alarming, shortage of seed for
planting in the state was developed at
the meeting of the Georgia Farmers
union held yesterday in Atlanta, and
farmers throughout the state who have
more than they need were requested
to share with their fellow farmers in
the manner above stated.

Ordering Pea Straw as
Substitute for Alfalfa

!. Alger, Sept. 11.-The Alger Market
ing association, acting in conjunction
with County Agent r. NJ. Hillman, has
decided to ship In a carload or two
OF pea straw from Washington.
They have been looking around for
cheaper substitute for alfalfa and
have decided to give the pea straw a
trial. If it proves satisfactory it will
be shipped in in large quantities. AL
falfa is $50 per ton and will probably
be much higher this winter. The pea
straw will cost about $3.50 per ton
laid down in Alger.
For a winter stock feed, the pea
straw is said to be nearly as good as
alfalfa, although for dairy stock some
grain must be fed with it. Anyone
interested in this should communicate

summer, left for the south. Even the
