senting the Foreign Mission
Board of the Southern Baptist
Convention, lectured at the Bap,
fist church in Rockingham Sun
day morning to a packed church,
and Tuesday afternoon address
the w. M. S. and other friends
in the church. The Sunday adj
dress dealt with the dark side of
the Chinese life, while his adj
dress to the ladies Tuesday was
just the reverse, showing the
bright spots of the missionary
work in China.
Rev. Mr.. Quisenberry is a re-
markably able man, and eloquent
speaker, and possibly is in closer
touch with the missionary work
in China than any man in the
Southern Baptist Church. His
words were inspirational and
gave his hearers a clearer insight
into the missionary work in
China, and the necessity and
duty of further extending it. He
was the guest while in the city
of Mr.. and Mrs. B. F. Palmer.

THE mystery" pool in Raleigh
is no longer a depository of stolen
automobiles, suicides, murdered
folk and concealed cases of
whiskey. The pool was drained
of all water Tuesday, and moth
ing further was found but tons
of cans, refuse, fish and terrapins.
About three weeks ago it was
rumored in Raleigh that the old
rock quarry, from which rock
was secured years ago to build
the capitol, contained numbers of
stolen automobiles. Graphing
hooks were put to work and two
cars were brought to the surface,
a King s and a Hudson Super
Six. Both cars were identified.
and it developed that their own,
ers had sometime ago collected
the insurance. The finding Of
these cars created intense excite
ment and rumor soon had it that
suicides and murdered bodies
could be found in the waters
The depth was SO feet. After
much squabbling between city
and state authorities, the State
Highway Commission put three
pumps to work to drain the hole.
This required five days and dur
ing that time the quarry is said
to have been visited by fully
10000 people each day. The in
terest was intense as the water
was gradually lowered, and the
predictions of what would be
found at the bottom covered a
wide range. But when the bot
tom was reached Tuesday moth
ing was found other than tons of
cans and other debris. To the
Disappointment of the thousands
of curious, not a dead body could
be seen. However, fully Is bush
els Of fish, mostly gold fish, were
caught and distributed to the
waiting Ithrungs and many .
