Steals From Preacher.

Sunday night Rev. Leon M.
Hall was awakened by a noise at
his garage to the rear of the
house, and looking from the
window saw two white men
their exit with two auto
tires. He quickly dressed and
gave chase; so close did he get to
them that they were forced to
throw out the stolen tires. He
was unable to positively identity
the parties who are believed to
have come here from across the
State Line for the McLendon

THE cantaloupe industry in
Scotland county this season did
not pan out financially well. A
total of 500 cars were shipped, as
against a probable total of around
900 cars had not the crop been
cut short. The California crop
and The Scotland county crop hit
the Northern markets at the
same time ~ consequently the
markets were glutted and the
price slumped. Ordinarily the
California crop is a week to two
weeks earlier, but this year they
came together and all the grow
ers suffered.

Trains Disorganized.

A wreck of a dozen freight
cars between Wingate and Mon
roe early Wednesday morning
put the blinks to the Seaboard
schedules yesterday
and today. AS a result of the
blocked track, the passenger
train from Charlotte due here at
TAI Wednesday morning did not
arrive until 3 in the afternoon,
and folks who were accustomed
to start the day off with reading
the Charlotte Observer had their
daily habits disarranged. This
train No. IA reached Wilmington
about dark, and returning from
Wilmington passed here at 3
o'clock Thursday morning in
stead of the usual time at $50.
This Thursday morning No. Ia
did not reach Rockingham from
Charlotte until 10:45, being three
hours late. However, it should
catch up with itself by night, and
be on time again Friday.

not the spirit Of the laws of Ian

Some one and myself exchang-

CYCLONE MACK has come and
gone. His coming was looked
forward to with interest mixed
chiefly with curiosity by a great
many. But the big majority OF
those who heard him through
curiosity returned to hear with
conviction.
Baxter McLendon is undoubt-
edly a great revivalist. In fact,
many already put him ahead of
Billy Sunday, and predict that
within the next two years he will
be known throughout America
as this country's greatest reviv,
alist.
He started his campaign in
Rockingham June 25th and for
five weeks preached that He'll is
hot and damnation sure for the
unrepentant. The close of the
revival last Sunday found 275
conversions on the front benches,
to say nothing of over 1000 dur
ing the entire series of meetings.
The PoST-DIsPATcH has gone
to much expense and pains to
report as many of his sermons
as possible. In doing this we
feel we have done a genuine
public service-and simply living
UP to our ideal of a newspaper.
The PosT-DISPATCH endeayors
first of all to be a LOCAL paper
for Rockingham and Richmond
county. first of al; and then
whatever space remains to de-
vote to state and national hap
penings. We have felt that no
no bigger news has happened in
this county in a generation than
the McLendon meetings; hence
the practical turning over of the
columns of this paper to the
McLendon services and sermons
for the past five weeks. We still
have a number of sermons that
we intend publishing from week
to week.
