LISTS FOES OF
CHURCH IN 50.
Rev. Moser Fears Battle
Against Liquor Must
Be Refought

Prediction that the church sis
going to have to fight again the
battle against the supremacy OF
rum was made Sunday morn
ing by the Rev. Claude H. MoSer,
pastor Of the First NJ. Il. church,
in new year sermon in which
he listed the major foes which,
as in past years, again threaten
the church and the state.
While the Rev. Mr.. Moser
listed the liquor traffic as one
of the states greatest antagon-
lists. and while the state and the
church are separate institutions,
he declared that the church must
help to fight the battles of the
state.
Repeal of the Eighteenth
Amendment is synanOmous with
going backward. spiritually, in
telIectually and economically, he
asserted, adding:
at is a strange thing to me
that the American mind car
honestly arrive at the conclu'
sion that prosperity can be re-
stored to America on the prin-
ciple of drinking her people tc
DEATH"
Besides the foes Of the state,
which the church must help ia
fight. the Rev. Mr.. Moser said
the other major foes of the
church in 1888 will continue to
be the spirit of intolerance and
the foes of the social life. An
abstract of his sermon follows:
"What are some Of the foes
the church must face in 1888?
In essence they may be the same
old foes, assuming the same old
characteristic guise Of by-gone
years; yet in view Of this old
sameness, the church mu S t
posses a genius for the uneX.

for the protean powers of her
protagonist. The well trained
army is ever on the alera for the
unexpected, for the unexpected
is most certain to assert itself
at the most unexpected and the

Civic And Social Club
Directors Will Be Dined
By J.L.Rarden Tonight

The directors of the Chamber
of Commerce, Kiwanis. Rotary
and golf clubs will meet tonight
at 1880 as dinner guests Of J. L..
Rarden, manager of the Skyland
hotel.
No formal program has been
arranged. It has been the idea
of Mr.. Rarden that little more
civic enthusiasm needs to be
generated for the promotion of
the community's welfare, hence
the dinner. Community problems
will be discussed in an informal
manner. The meeting will not
be held under the auspices of

DEMOCRATIC S0LONS CAUCUS TONIGHT
SAY SOVIET CONFISCATlNG
PASSPORTS OF u. s. CITIZENS
BORN in TSARIST RUSSIA

MOSCOW, Jan. 3-(UP)-The
Soviet government is confiscating
passports of some American citi-
zens who were born in Tsarist
Russia, in order to prevent them
from leaving the Soviet Union, it
was learned yesterday.
After the passports have been
eonfscated, the government is re-
fusing to issue exit visas. The
Soviet law provides that Russians
who fled the country after the
revolution remain citizens of So
Wet Russia and if they return,
will be considered as such. They
will be given Soviet passports and
treated in every way as Soviet
citizens.
x During the past year, however.
many cases have cropped up iii
which Russians who emigrated and
took up American citizenship be-
fore the revolution-even as long
ago as 1900-are being detained
IN Russia by the authorities on the
grounds that they are Soviet citl-
Zens.
In some cases those affected
have wives and families in Amer
lea whom they cannot rejoin, be-
cause of the governments action.
It is likewise noted that in some
Instances Russian-born Americans
have returned full of enthusiasm
for the new order and have volun-
tarily taken up Soviet citizenship.
Later they have become disillu-
stoned and have asked to have
their American citizenship back.
In every case their attempts have
been most difficult, in view of the
fact that there are no American
diplomatic representatives here.
1t is also unclear whether the
detention of these people constl-
tutes a government policy or
merely represents errors on the
part of minor officials. Author!-
ties so far have offered no eX-

Parking On Side
Streets Is Again
Being Sponsored
Motor Co. Employees Re-
solve To Leave Space
For Customers

The JONES Motor company and
EMPLOYEES have resolved for the
New Year that all cars belong
ing TO them will be parked on
side streets and all space in front
of the building will be left open
for prospective customers. The
suggestion is made that business
men, especially those on Main
street. will find it profitable to
follow this plan. If the mer-
chants and business men of the
city will follow the plan OF
parking their cars OH side
streets, leaving the space IN
front of business houses for
patrons and visitors, it Will
facilitate business.
Many local business men leave
their ears parked all day long IN
front of their places of business
They occupy space that might De
used for the parking Of cars OF
prospective customers. II cars
Of the business men were parked
on side streets, there would be
more parking space available on
the principal business streets ana
this would be an aid to the dis
patch of business and would pro-
mote trade.

LOSS BY FIRE
DIMINISHES IN
3YEAR PERIOD
But 1892 Blazes In City
Lost $63,635, Nearly
Double Those OF 1881

Although the number of fire
alarms recorded in Hendersonville
during 1882 was less than the
number recorded in 1881, fire
damage in dollars and cents was
larger in 1882 than in 1881, rec
ords at the city hall show.
The fire loss for the past ~
months was $63, 635, against a
loss of $38,747 for the year 1881.
The number of alarms in 1882
was al, while As alarms were an
swered in 1881.
On the whole damage from fire
in the last three years has gen.
orally decreased. During the year
1881 the largest loss from fire was
the $4,000 blaze in the Rose build
ing on December 9.
The largest loss during the past
year was the Rex theatre fire. on
June IA, 1882, and amounted to
$4,000. Barring this one large
loss during 1882, fire losses for
the year would be lower than for
the years 1881 and 1880.
Generally the number of alarms
and damage from fire has shown
a decrease during the past three
years. In 1880 there were So
alarms answered, none of which
were false alarms, and the dam
age totaled $64,227. In 1881 there
were 49 alarms, three of which
were false, and the loss was $685.
TAT. In 1882 there were Al
alarms, two of which were false,
and the damage was $63,635. The
year 1929 showed the largest loss
from fire in the history of the
city.
OF the al alarms answered in
1882 two were false, and rs re-
suited in little or no damage.
Eleven fires resulted from I'M
known causes, and three were out
side fires, such as leaves and trash
burning near houses.
Causes of fires were listed as
from hot ashes, sparks on roofs,
a cigarette on an awning, a gas
stove. from a coffee urn, defective
flues, defective wiring. careless
ness, and an overheated furnace.

Highway patrolmen were in
structed Monday afternoon to
begin at once the enforcement
of the law requiring that all
automobiles carry 1888 license
plates. The instructions were re-
ceived here by H. r. Frymoyer,
patrolman assigned to Hender-
son, Pennsylvania and Polk coun-
ties, from division hea dquarters,
which in turn had received them
from Capt. Farmer Of the state
road patrol.
Beginning at once, motorists
who drive cars without 1888
plates will be given 4S-hour tic
kets notifying them to procure
plates within that period. II
plates are not procured by Jan.
g. car owners will have the "priv-
ilege" of equipping their cars
with plates Or storing the cars,
and after Jan. 10 anyone found
driving a car without new plates
will be prosecuted.
At the office Of Shipman's
garage, where 1888 license
plates are again being distribut-
ed this year, it was said that the
sale of license plates this year
had been far below that of last
year.
Saturday. it was said, was
the only day since the plates
were put on sale in which there
was an appreciable demand for
the tags. -.
However, it was anticipate
that there would be a last MN
ute rush for plates as the last
day of grace drew nearer.

RALEIGH. Jan. 3.-The DEM
ocratic members Of the 1888
general assembly will meet to-
night for the first time when
the caucuses Of the house and
senate are held to elect speak
err and president pro temporc
of the senate These two Off
GERS are always decided upon the
night before the official opening
date of the general assembly, so
that they can be elected and Of
ficially indicted into office at
the opening session.
Indications today are that
Reg L. Harris of Roxboro. Per-
son county, will be the Demo-
cratic choice for speaker, which
of course is equivalent to cleo
ton. For several weeks there
has been some talk of some OPP
position to Harris, but up to to-
day this opposition does not seem
to have materialized. AS a re-
suit, many of the supporters Of
Harris are predicting that he will
have no opposition in the party
caucus tonight and become the
unanimous choice Of the caucus
for speaker. For a time there
was some talk to the eject that
julius C. Martin, of Asheville,
Buncombe county, might become
candidate for speaker and that
Tam C. Bowie of Ashe county
might also get into the race. But
few here believe either of these
will permit their names to be
presented to the caucus.
Much more of q contest for
president pro tenn Of the senate
us in prospect in the senate
caucus tonight, however, where
two candidates are contending
! for the post. These two are
Senator w. G.. Clark. Of Tar
boro. from the fourth district
and senator Paul D. Grady, Of
Kenly, of the eighth district.
For a time the name of Senator
C. M. Waynick, of High Point.
Guilford county, was mentioned
as a possible candidate for pres
ident pro tenn, although present
indications are that Waynick
probably will not permit his
name to be presented.
If Senators Clark and Grady
are the only candidates for the
senate presidency, as now seems
likely, the prevailing opinion
here today is that Clark will
probably win the post. although
Grady seems to have a fairly
strong following. The fact that
Clark has been a member Of the
senate for the past two sessions,
this being his third session in
uccession. is regarded as being
decidedly in his favor.
1t is believed that both the
house and senate will retain their
former principal clerks and that
Leroy Martin will again be
elected principal clerk of the
senate and that Thad Eure will
again be elected to the same Of
flee in the house. So far as is
known, Eure has no opposition
whatever.
The office Of speaker is one
of the most important and far
reaching in the general assembly.
it is agreed. although the public
generally does not usually real
lie how important this office is.
Some regard it as of even more
Importance that that of Lieuten-
ant Governor. certainly of equal
power and potency.
