CHARLOTTE PARSON HAS
THE GIFT OF PROPHECY

r. o. Alexander, of Charlotte. a
cotton broker. preacher, and some
times called a prophet. has notified
Washington correspondents that he
intends TO hand out some more hot
stuff" at Polls theater next Sunday
regarding the war. Mr.. Alexander
says he has read from the Bible that
the high cost of living will continue
and that food will be very scarce and
that wheat will be selling for four
and five dollars bushel. Alexander
declares that since he made this pre-
diction wheat has sold in North Caro-
lima at four dollars a bushel and as
to the scarcity of food everybody is
aware.
In part Mr.. Alexander says:
This war is from supernatural
causes. This fight is between the
powers of Darkness and the powers
or Righteousness. God is leading
America in this fight to destroy mon
archy and false religions that enslave
mankind.
II want to read to you out OF the
Bible what the word OF God says
about America being involved in this
war three and half years more. I
also wish to show you from the Bible
that the main battle will be over here
in the Mississippi valley, where God
will destroy German militarism and
all confederated monarchy and con-
federated false religion. And after
this battle, which is the battle of
Armageddon, our soldiers now in
France will sweep through Europe
and make democracy safe for the
world. Now, my object is to show
you what Gods Word says about how
to conduct this fight for the next
