G, O,P. TO Train
GUNS ON MAINE:

Washington, July 25-Noters
of Maine are doomed for the
next six or eight weeks to hear
the greatest roar of political Or
atory ever turned loose ON any
doubtful constituency anywhere.
Worried by reports of trend
of public sentiment toward the
Democrats, Republican campaign
managers here have planned to
train their biggest guns toward
the far Northeast because they
are superstitious enough to give
credence to Names reputed po-
Etical influence upon the coun-
try. With the election set for
Sept. II, they think it would be
disastrous for the Democrats to
win.
SO arrangements have beer
completed for most of the mem
bers of President Harding's cab
met to go to Maine. They will
be supplemented by the most
famous windjammerS of Con-
gress, many of whom already
have been asked to uncork their
best whirlwind speeches.
Secretary of Commerce Hoo
yer, Secretary of Labor Davis,
Secretary Of Agriculture Wal
lace, Assistant Secretary of War
Weeks and either Postmaster
General Work or his Assistant,
Mr.. Bartlett, thus far have sig
ni6ed willingness to put their
shoulders to the wheel.

To Set Transportation Going

(By Associated Press)

Washington, July 25-A grow
ing impression that the Admins
tration is rapidly approaching a
point in its attitude toward the
rail strike where a decisive move
to arrest the breakdown in trans
portation might be looked for,
has raised some important devel-
opments at today's cabinet meet
ing.
President Harding, who was de
clared td be in personal charge of
the question, is understood to
have been advised the govern
ment can permit disruption of
transportation to go no further.
With reports indicating strong
ly the repressive effects Of the
strike on the nations business re-
vival, some Administration advis-
ers are known to hold the view
the railroad executives should be
asked to make every effort toi re-
store interstate commerce. They
believe the roads should even
abandon, il necessary, their stand
against the restoration Of senior
ity rights to the striking shop
men. Should the railroad eXecu-
tives refuse, there is said to be no
doubt Of the Presidents author
ity to take over operation of the
roads as final resort. either un-
der the Esch-Cummins act speci-
fically or the general powers con-
ferred in the Constitution.

COAL SITUATION IN
BAD SHAPE HERE:
Local Dealers Supply Running
Low and But Little Is Com
ing In Due o Strike

The coal situation ir Richmond
seems growing serious. Coal
dealers do not have a supply on
hand are are unable to- get any.
Cars have been ordered for weeks
but it is impossible to tell when
they will arrive due to the strike,
according to local dealers. All
the local yards are comparatively
empty and orders can not be fill
ed.
Harry Allen, of the F. H. Cor
don yards, reports that three cars
have been on the road from Al
drain, KY, since Tuly II, but they
have not arrived. lie states that
they have no coal in the yards.
This shortage may result in 4
slight advance in price but no
material advance, according to
Mr.. Allen.
Reports from the Powell yards
state that they have little coal on
hand. They have had coal orderer
or three or four weeks but can
not hear whether it has even been
shipped. All coal seems to be
very inferior which is coming in
just now, according to this re-
port. Many cellars were filed
in June and July Of last year but
few have been filled thus far this
year, and prospects are slight
that they will be in the near flu
ture.
There is small quantity on
hand at the Willoughby yards. A
car was shipped July 20 but it has
not arrived. They have stand
ing orders with mines which have
not been filled for some time. Mr..
Willoughby stated that the reo-
pie would make the price. Il tT-
erv one tried to buy Ill the cF al
that was on the market IN | thus
create real famine the T'icc
would naturally 90 r,p and seriOus
conditions would result. Mr.,
Willoughby states thlt the mires
report that they have the ,oel if
they could only get the cars in
which to ship their production.
All dealers have been affected
and the consumers will soon suf-
fer if conditions do not improve.
A representative of the Broaddus
yards states that It may be the
first of the year before conditions
are normal again.

DR.. GREEN breaches
IN HISTORIC CHURCH
Local Pastor Delivers Principal
Sermon At Mt. Vernon's
Centennial Celebration

Rev. o. Olin Green, pastor of
the First Baptist church of Rich
nnond, was the principal speaker
at the celebration of the Tooth
anniversary of the Mt. Vernon
Baptist church in Fayette coun-
ty, near the Woodford county
line. The celebration was held
Sunday with large attendance.
DR.. Green is a former pastor of
this church. His sermon was
built around the text "The Lord
hath done great things for us,
whereof we are glad" and gave
illuminating figures showing the
development and progress of the
church since the founding of Mt.
Vernon church in 1922. When
the church was founded by the
five women and three men, the
Baptist church was only eighty
two years old in America with
slightly more than 10000 mem
bers. Today, one hundred years
later, the membership is 8,167,084
in the United States. In 1900,
twenty-five years before build
ing of the Mt. Vernon church,
great revival swept the country,
offsetting the great wave of in
fidelity, vice and sensuality
sweeping over the country fol-
lowing the Revolution, he said.
Immediately following this the
louisiana Purchase was consum-
mated, opening up great
stretch of territory to the Pro-
testant church with a number of
Baptist churches starting and
prospering.
"Great changes in our denom-
national life have taken place in
the last century," DIR. Green said.
"Our Baptist forefathers had diff
hculties to encounter which we
do not have in these days. Their
means of communication were
very poor. Bad roads, made
quate mail service, few great
cities, few books and periodicals,
10 railroads, steamboats,, or tel
egraph, no telephone or radio
phone, no automobiles, airplanes
or other rapid means of COM
munication. They had no great
factories, but used only the
scythe, reap hook, ox-cart, spin
ming wheel, loom and tallow can
dies"
In 1922. the church had only
four Baptist schools in the east,
Brown, Waterville College, Ham
ilton Seminary and Columbia
University. In 1929, George
town College, the oldest Baptist
college in the south, was found
ed. Today the Southern Bap-
fists alone have 119 schools, with
1851 students, property valued
at twenty-one million, with an
endowment of thiry-one million,
DR.. Green said.
In the missionary field, the
church has progressed rapidly
from one general missionary or
ganization one hundred years
ago to organizations both north
and south covering every phase
Of missionary, educational and
work.
That the various religious bo-
dies of christendom would sub
merge their differences and be-
come one in few generations
is not considered by the Baptists
