This new discovery, which is called
Alexander's Rid-O-Fly, is not a poison.
Though it kills flies like magic, farm
animals and human beings are not affect
ed by it at all. In addition to killing
these insects, Rid-O-Fly is strong re-
pellant. Flies will not come stock
or buildings Where Rid-O-Fly has been
used. Rid-O-Fly is particularly valuable
for cows and horses. as it is known
fact that flies do untold harm to these
animals.
So confident is DIR. Alexander that his
discovery will rid your house, barns and
live stock of these pests that he offers to !
send a $500 supply for only S1.25 on
the guarantee that if Rid-O-Fy does not
solve your fly problems it will cost you
nothing. Two big Kansas City Banks
guarantee the reliability of this offer.

HEAR REPORTS Of
i UNSOUND DOCTRINE

MONTREAL, N. c., May 1S.-(By
the Associated Press. Stone hundred
and three overtures from presby-
teries and synods, ranging from the
question of whether women will be
allowed places on executive commit
tees to the problem of whether the
| body will remain in the Federal
| Council of Churches of Christ in
America, and matters involving for
eign mission work, today were be-
fore the siXty-third general assem-
bly, of the Southern Presbyterian
church.
Taking the position that the ex.
ecutive committee on foreign mis-
sions has no right to use funds con-
tributed to it for contribution to
the support of the National Chris.
tan council, the Bethel presbyre"y
South Carolina, requested the as
sembly to so instruct the commit
teemen. The .presbytery also request
ed that the committee be instructed
not to encourage the work of the
council lin any way whatever"
The presbytery of Abingdon WaD
respectfully Overtures the general
assembly that it instruct its exec
utive committee on foreign missions
to take the church into it's complete
confidence as to it's financial stand
ing, and to publish in our church
paper the actual amount owed, by
said committee rather than the
budget shortage"
"UnsOund Doctrine"
Another overture. from the Fay
etteville, N. c., presbytery. asked
the assembly to appoint a special
committee to promptly and thor
oughly investigate the charges of
unsOundness in doctrine in circula
ton against certain missionaries
now in the foreign field, and in con-
nection with the courses taught in
certain educational institutions in
the foreign field, to report to the
1924 meeting"
The executive committee on for
eign missions yesterday reported
that an investigation had been made
of charges relating to the foreign
missionaries, and all allegations had
been shown to be without fOunda
ton.
Asserting there is an imperative
need of an adequate church build
ing found for our home mission
churches" the presbytery Of Brazos,
Tex, requested the assembly to or
der the stewardship committee to
begin Immediately a campaign for
a fund of $1,OOO,OOO to be used for
this purpose.
Eight overtures relate TO the
status of the assembly with the fed
eral council. The presbytery of
Mecklenburg, \. c., asks that the
assembly withdraw. Taking the posi-
ton that the assembly should either
withdraw or pay it's proportionate
share of the expenses of the council,
the synod of West Virginia asks that
the body provide these funds.

INCREDIBLE PANIC
RE|GNS AS SCHOOL
FIRE TRAPS SCORES

CLEVELAND, S. c., May IS
| Scenes of indescribable panic were
recounted here today by survivors
of the fire which trapped several
hundred persons in a little wooden
country schoolhouse here last night
during the annual commencement
exercises. More than 70 bodies had
| been taken from the ruins early to-
day and search of the debris was
continuing.
The chief of police st Camden
near here, took charge of the resuce
work.
Between 400 and 500 persons were
packed into the hall on the second
floor of the building. Most Of these
were country folk who had driven in
in their automobiles and horse drawn
vehicles to see their children take
part in the entertainment. Only a
few people from Camden and nearby
towns attended.
1t was shortly after p. M, when
the lamp fell as hook to which 1t
was attached pulled out.
People nearest the windows
smashed them and leaped to the
ground below, while the main body
of the audience poured in madden
ed rush for the one eXit-a stairway
ending in narrow hall and entry
way, not more than eight feet square.
The door at the foot of the stairs
was TANNED in a moment and while
the flames licked over the packed
victims hundreds pressed upon them
from the stairway.

The whole countryside turned out
when the glare told Of the disaster.
Aid was rushed from Camden, eight
miles distant, but there was moth
ling to be done except aid those who
suffered injuries when they leaped
from the windows. Homes nearby
were turned into hospitals and
morgues.
Doctors from Camden attended to
those least seriously injured; while
the more serious cases were hurried
to Camden hospitals.

broke out, the schoolhouse was moth
