italy keenly Preparing
For Next Olympiad

Rome, Dec. 22.-The advent of the
Fascist government to power will
have favorable influence upon the
development of sport and athletics
in Italy. Premier Mussolini's cab
met is composed mostly of young
men between the ages of thirty and
forty, the majority of whom at sons
time or another have taken deep
interest in sports. Mussolini HIM
self is an expert fencer and his un-
der secretary of state, Finzi, be-
sides being one of Italy's most re-
nowned aviators was at one time one
of the best five thousand metres
runners in the peninsula.
The first effects of the assumption
of leadership of the government by
Mussolini, in the field of sports, al
ready have been seen in the promise
made by the Premier that appropria-
tions of funds to defray the expenses
of the Italian Olympic team to Paris
in 1924, would be forthcoming. The
Olympic preparation in Italy, which
had been stagnant throughout the
summer owing to lack of funds and
consequent lukewarm enthusiasm, has
taken on a new lease of life, and fol
lowers of athletics in Italy are re-
joicing. The preparation of the
Italian Olympic team will be direct
ed especially toward the five and
ten thousand meter races, and the
marathon. Although sprints will
not be neglected, the Italian Olympic
Committee feels that they have bet
ter material for the distance events.
Commencing Sunday November 26th
when a full distance marathon was
run at Milan, there will be five thou
sand and ten thousand meters races
in various cities of Italy, Milan, Tu'
rim, Genoa, Naples or Rome, about
twice month. 1t is the intention
of the committee to have four full
Olympic distance marathons run be-
tween now and the departure of the
Italian team for Paris in 1924. The
last one will take place about Jan
uary, 1924.
Signor Tonetti, Vive President Of
the committee, is sanguine that Italj
, has a first class chance of carrying
off the blue ribbon Of the Olympic
Games. In Arri Valerie, of Turin
and Hugo Fregorio of Milan, Ital,
claims to have discovered worth!

Which was thought necessary by the
ministering brethren. By advice a
committee was appointed to attend a
place of worship erected by the Bap-
tist professors and their, friends on
Turkey Greek, known as the Flat
Rock meeting house" Quoted from
an old manuscript written more than
hundred and thirty years ago.
The result of that meeting was
that on the 28rd of December, 1776,
1.-The Hcommittee" met at the appointed
place and organized church, which
received the name Sandy River. On
the same day the new church called
for the ordination of James Fowler,
who had been a member and licenti-
ate Of Fairforest for fifteen months.
1t. seems that Fowler Immediately
became pastor of the new church and
soon rose to distinction In the min
.stry. When the Bethel Association
was, organized in 1889, he was chosen
to be the first moderator. He was
also delegated by that body to at
itehd, the Charleston Association for
the purpose Of adjusting the minor
differences that prevented harmony
| between the Separates and Regulars,
and by his, skillful Christian diplo-
macy mattersswere soon adjusted and

The distance and direction Of this
point from the Fairforest meeting
house was 30 miles to the northwest.
This fits Boiling Springs, in Spartan
burg county exactly. Griffith in his
"Life Of Landrum" says, Boiling
Springs church is sone Of the oldest
churches in the country. The earliest
records state that it was re-constitut-
ed in 1892, from which records it is
supposed that its first constitution
was long + priors to that date. There
is no account, however, Of the time
when it was first constituted, nor Of
the cause that made a reconstitution
necessary" The facts are, undoubt-

Baby Seriously Hurt in Automobile
Wreck

The thirteen months old daughter
Of Mr.. and Mrs. c. F. Garris of
Charlotte was seriously injured yes
terday afternoon when the Ford car
driven by the father overturned when
crowded to the ditch by passing au-
tomobile. Mrs. Garris and three or
four other occupants were slightly
injured. and it is feared that the baby
received injuries that may prove ia
tai. The injured persons were
brought to the Ellen Fitzgerald hos
pital for treatment, but the baby was
carried to Charlotte this morning to
determine the extent fthe injuries
through X-ray pictures. The moth
er, who next to the baby was worst
injured, accompanied the child to
Charlotte. All of the others, too, were
able to leave for their homes this
morning. The name of the driver of
the passing car could not be learned.

THE CONFERENCE

For the second time in twenty years
Monroe has been host TO the Western
North Carolina Conference of the
Methodist church. The presiding Of
fetal. Bishop DenRy. assigned to the
district embracing North and South
Carolina, presides over one-seventh
Of the Methodist communicates of the
en- ire southern division Of the church,
and will for the next four years, con-
tinue TO hold this conference.
Twenty years ago when the con-
ference met here there were doubts
as to the capac ~ of the town for
its adequate entertainment, but not
so this time. While the conference
has grown. the capacity Of Monroe
has grown more in proportion. But
at that time Monroe came up to all
requirements and il was no; merely
the generous sentiments Of the Wis
tors which was then expressed in the
warm terms of praise,
Before leaving yesterday many Of
the conference people took occasion
to express their great satisfaction in
the hosp tality extended by Central
church and the town folk generally
Bishop Denny himself took the lead
in this when he told Dr.. Weaver that
every need had been anticipated and
fully me-, not only those necessary
for the faciltation of business bat
the entertainment Of the members
and the social features. From the
Bishop down. the members were high
ly pleased with their reception and
en- ertainment here. They were es-
pocially pleased with the convenient
arrangement of Central church and
It's abundant room for the transac-
tion of business. On the side of
creature comforts, many members ex-
pressed great praise of the work done
by the ladies who served meals at
Central and at the First Baptist
church hut.
The conference was welcome to
Monroe and ii appreciated the va
r.ous manifestation Of that welcome |
most heartily. And it was good |
thing for the community as well as
for the local Methodists, A great |
e herring Of christian soldiers"
such as the general body Of any |
christian church presents, is an in
spir.ng and uplifting influence upon
a community as whole, no matter
which denomination it happens to be.
II costs something in time and energy |
and money to entertain general
body Of this kind but it is well worth
it. Monroe is glad to have had the
conference and hopes that it will not
be twenty years before another one
comes.

: one was Billie" Steele, who Gied
at his home in South Monroe town

a lad and the war was over before
he reached manhood. He always had

Washington brothers, the gem of
the Shenandoah Valley and the
pride of the State of West Vir-
ginia, will be seen at its best when
the visiting club-women are here
to enjoy it's attractions and be
served with its hospitality.
Realizing that it will be impos-
sible to have a well-informed guide
for each car load of visitors, the
local Woman's Club is having
printed an interesting historical
booklet which will tell of the diff
ferent places and homes visited
along tie route. Written by Mrs.
Fl. Pinkae..' Schley, the booklet is
valuable not only as a descriptive
itinerary, but as brief history of
interesting places in the county
where its history is a local pride,
hospitality is a tradition, farming
a science and horticulture a fine
art" The 2,000-word booklet will
be given to each Of the visitors who
take the trip, and a number of ex-
ira copies will also be printed.
Leaving Shepherdstown, the
route of the trip passes by the
James Rumsey house at the corner
of New and Duke streets and by
Rose Brake, the cambridge home.
Passing Rockland, the Muzzey
home, built in 1912. the party Will
pass through Kearneysville to
Travellers Rest, house built and
occupied by General Horatio Gates
of Revolutionary fame, a mile be-
yond the town. At Leetown the
home of General Charles Lee will
be visited. In Middleway the visi-
tors will have a chance to look
around this ancient village. The
booklet tells the story of how the
place came to be known as "Clipp"
by reason of a real true ghost
story. Hardwood, on the Charles
Town road, the home of Samuel
Washington, will be the next stop
ping place, and from there the
route proceeds to st. Georges Cha
pei, built in the reign of King
George II Of England, and undoubt-
eddy the first church west of the
Blue Ridge Mountains. The party
will then visit Claymont Court, the
palatial residence of the Murphy
family, near Charles Town. In
Charles Town the visitors will be
entertained a. the Charles Town
Inn with a tea given by the Won
ans Club of that place. Leaving
Charles Town. the towns of Harp
ers Ferry and Bolivar, with their
interesting history, will be visited.
