NEW M. E, PASTOR
Rev. w. J. Honeycutt to Move Here;
Rev. Mr.. Stafford in Jefferson

Bishop Paul B. Kern criticised
much Of present day preaching in
his sermon Monday in Salisbury as
delegates to the annual Western
North Carolina conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church, South,
put aside business affairs for a day
of worship.
The conference adjourned Tues
day after a session which was mea-
sured by the reading of ministerial
appointments for the coming year.
A great part of current preaching,
Bishop Kern declared, "does not
grapple with the fundamental issues
of life"
On the other hand, he asserted, it
''plays on central margins too much;
it deals with trivialities."
The bishop, who presided over
sessions of the conference, warned
his hearers that ''sin causes physical
and moral DEATH" and loss of the
spiritual contact with God.
"The devil pays the wages of sin, -
he said. God pays bonus with
eternal life"
This generation, he continued,
needs Ito begin to live our lives in
the light of eternal glory"
Declaring that "the wages of sin
is DEATH" the bishop asserted, "the
full gift of God is eternal life in
Christ Jesus, our Lord"
Rev. w. J. Honeycutt was assigned
to the church in West Jefferson and
he and Mrs. Honeycutt, both young
people, will move here in the i'm
mediate future. This is the first time
the local church has had an all-time
pastor and the community as well as
the members of the church will be
glad to welcome the addition to the
city.
Mr.. Stafford, who has served the
local church along with Jefferson,
Mill Greek, BettaE ard Orion for
the past two years, taas returned to
Jefferson and will have only four
churches now. j. N. Snow will go to
the Creston circuit and Mr.. Swain
back to Laurel Springs circuit. J. M.
Green has been assigned to Todd
and A. c.. Lackey to Warrensville.
The presiding elder of this district
will be Rev. John w. Hoyle, Jr.
DR.. C. c. Weaver, who is known
in this county will go to Charlotte,
and L. P. Barnett will continue on
at Lilesville. J. E. B. Houser was
sent to Stokesdale and Rev. j. L.
Reynolds remained in the Asheville
district.

Eighty EIGHT persons were killed
and 720 injured in 615 traffic acct

Der this year, as compared with 116
killed and 763 injured during Sep
tember last year, it was announced
last week by Chapt. Chas. D. Farm
er, commander of the State Highway

1.-THE figures speak for them
selves" Capt. Farmer said. They
show big improvement when you
consider the increased registration
of cars"
During the first nine months of

the State, compared to 757 during

PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN ON
LAST LAP OF HARD FIGHTING

the President drew the bigger
crowds. While Mr.. Landon spoke to
100000 in Los Angeles, Mr.. Roose-
welt addressed $4,000 in Boston.
While Mr.. Landon showed himself
to modest gatherings from the rear
platform OF. his train, Mr.. Roosevelt's
automobile caravan moved perilous-
ly through masses of men, women
and Children who lined the roads.
But any comparison of crowds
would have to take into considera-
ton the fact that the President was
showing himself in the most popu-
lous section of the country.
Elections are decided not by the
clamor of crowds but in the silent
solitude of the polling booth.

NO OCTOBER COURT

A large crowd assembled for the
converting of the October term of
court in Jefferson Monday only to
learn that the entire court would be
postponed and all the cases continu-
ed until the April term Of 1887.
The postponement was made ne
cessary because Judge Armstrong
and Solicitor Gwyn were held over
elsewhere on an important case from
which they were unable to get away.
The case was that against DR..
Flowers, prominent Winston-S Salem
dentist, who was found guilty on
Tuesday of stealing $700 work of
dental gold.

one-half pound sweet potato grown
by Paul Thomas at Grassy Creek.
ALI of these have caused much

SUBSCRIPTION RATES
THEY ARE UNSELFISH
(NeW York Tnes)

One thing iS certain about the letter addressed by 45 religious leaders to Presi- dent Roosevelt urging him to break with the present economic system; and that is the sincerity of the sign CTS. When the clergymen and theologians inform MT. Roosevelt that there can be no permanent recovery as long as the nation de- pends on palliative legisla- tion inside the capitalistic system,' they are speaking out against their own per sonal interests. They are advocating a policy which. if successful, threatens their own destruction.
 So much is indicated by what has happened to relig ion and it's ministers in the one big country where cap italism has been abolished, Soviet Russia, and in the bigger of the two countries where capitalism has been severely taken in hand,and that is Germany. Official atheism in one case and neo-paganism on the other are at war with religion.
 Another thing to be not ed about capitalism is that under it's sway a group of clergymen and theological professors may issue a man ifesto advocating the aboli- tion of capitalism, It is not easy to imagine the PreSi- dent and executive commit tee of the League of God less in Soviet Russia ad- dressing a letter to Joseph Stalin urging him to bring back the profit system or a letter addressed by Alfred Rosenberg and the neo- pagans to Hitler advocat- ing a let-up on the Jews and Catholics.

 Added Chance
Jud~o Alexander Remands Native to Custody of
 |. 5. Marshal.

David hadashan, 21-year old native, will get another chance.
 Federal Judge George F. Alexander, after condemn ing methods in which the boy was released from pri- son following his suspen- sion of sentence for assault with a dangerous weapon on January 10, made this order recently.
 If the Bureau of Indian Affairs cant take care of it's wards any better than that, it's none of my affair."" Jud- ge Alexander said. He or dered Kadashan turned ov- CT to the custody of the U. $. Marshal until the boat sails for Hoonah, his home.
 T refuse to send this boy back on a charge like this," the judge stated. Kadashan was arrested recently for drunk and disorderly con- duct at the City Cafe, and it appeared possible his sus pension would be voided and he would be forced to serve out the three year penitentiary term.

 Kadashan told the judge he had no money and no place to sleep, and he had taken "a couple of drinks" to keep warm.
 Charles HaWkeSWorth, ,as- sistant director of the Bur- eau of Indian Affairs, stat ed that Kadashan had a written order from his of flee to stay at the home of Mir. and Mrs David Willett and said Mrs. Willett told him the native had been there, and had gone out on "a final spree" the night be fore his boat sailed.-Jun- eau Daily Press.
