About eight miles from Hender-
sonville j ust off the Chimney
Rock road stands very pretty
little white chapel.
About four years ago c. n.
Cady, seeing the need of a Sun
day school for the children of this
community. organized and held
the first school in an old abandon
ed hut. We used logs with boards
across them for seats, but had no
protection from the weather.
Some of the children 10 years old
had never been in Sunday school
before.
No one in town was interested
enough and no one in the COM
munity knew just how to go about
organizing the Sunday school, but
it was a success from the start
with some of the people walking
two and three miles to attend.
AS winter drew near we knew
we could not remain in the hut so
decided to build. But how? One
man gave the ground, another the
trees, another the brick for the
foundations and chimney. The
men and boys from all over the
community met and cut the logs.
One young man moved his port
able saw mill to the site and saw
ed the lumber for the building.
After all the materials were on
the ground the men met and start
ed the building while the women
served them meals at their work.
We had no roof or floor, but a
lady, "The Sponsor" in Pitts
burgh, sent US 500 and Will Rog
ers S25. A newspaper in Chicago
broadcast for us and We got quite
a few dollars. A woman's club in
Chicago sent us $35 for an organ.
We found where we could get
seats and a pulpit for S25, so we
made a farm-to-farm canvass. We
made over $50 in vacant store
which a man in town gave us the
use Of.
We moved in. elected trustees,
Sam Gillian, who has since died
and was succeeded by his son Roy,
Zebbie Pittillo, j. Laycock and d.
Stepp. Next came the question Of
lights. Everyone who could gave
bushel of potatoes, we sold them
and sent for the lamps. We have
never bought one thing until we
had the money to pay for it. We
wrote to everyone we had ever
known and always got an answer
and from one to ten dollars. Our

went prohibitionist, the party
management continued to make
political capital out of the DEM
ocratic authorship of these sump-
tuary laws. Finally after the Re-
publicans captured three con-
gressmen in 1908. the result of
Democratic disaffection, Tom Set
tie ran for governor on the anti
prohibition issue.
But a year ago the Democratic
party almost got euchred into the
position of hostility to temper
ance and the new organization
stepped in to claim a fair share
of the credit for beating the re-
peal movement in North Carolina.
One of the great successes of the
United Dry Forces last year was
to divest the democracy of any
purpose to go back on its state
record. The overwhelming pre-
ponderance of Democratic men
and women on the steering COM
mittee, and the heavy Democratic
vote in Democratic counties for
prohibition, robbed the Republl-
cans of any chance to make party
claim to the dry vote of 1888.
Democrats in the United Dry
Forces believe more Democrats
voted prohibition last fall than
Republicans did.
But while the Democrats in the
United Dry Forces organization
have no thought of letting Re-
publicans get party credit for the
dry victory. these same Democrats
are not going to put all other
questions aside to clear the way
for another prohibition party.
Many members of the United Dry
Forces voted against tSe Demo-
cratic candidate for president in
1923, but just as many voted for
him. The new element in the or
ganization is opposed to making
all questions subordinate to the
LIQUOR control issue. As an illus
tration of that sentiment one may
cite Judge Heriot GARRISON. The
Judge fought the saloon savagely
in Charlotte. He wrote supreme
court opinions in liquor cases that
were epochal. But the judge is a
believer in Democratic doctrine
and he would not desert a candi-
date who in the main was accept
able to his honor:
What is generally expected
from the new organization is that
it will 90 into state politics for
as many dry officials as can be
elected, but the Democratic stall
warts inside are not going to see
their party which led for 25
years in all temperance legisla-

Soon the Kromhout will speed under police

No, the sea-going Mounties do not wear the
wide Stetson hats, the scarlet tunic, high boots
and jingling spurs when at work. They dress
like seamen, just as the Arctic Mountie on the
trail dresses in furs from head to foot.
The going Mounties are q development

furnished all the mounts for the force. Now
they number about $50 for Q force Of $500.
And the latest steed is the marine engine.

worked fast, too, for within IL hours after first

About midnight he saw light flashing about
half mile distant. The flashes were signals,
for they were repeated. two short flashes each
time. Silently the Neguac crept up on the boat

When practically alongside, Aubie called the

That was the news that Capt. Croft brought

at the docks, three other police boats fueled up

The powerful Transatlantic and ship radio
station at Glace Bay sent word out to all ship
ping to watch for the Kromhout, with its crew
