LOVE BASIS OF
CHRISTIANITY
Source of Christian Living,
Rev. Haney Tells People
at Tent Meeting

"Love is the basis of all our
Christian living; if, l am not
working for the glory Of God, my
works will be sounding brass and
tinkling cymbal," Rev. Jack Ha-
ney declared last night as he con-
tinued his evangelistic services at
East Flat Rock Thursday night.
He spoke on the subject "Three
Fires"
"The basis cf the three fires is
love-" he continued, "and the rea-
son that l am continuing my mes
sages to you church people is be-
cause I feel it very necessary"
"The first fiBe | want to call
your attention to is the fire of the
enemy. On that awful night when
Christ was being betrayed into
the hands of an angry mob, Peter
was there warming by the enemy's
fire, denying his Christ. The night
was cold and the enemies of Jesus
had built them a fire. Peter. was
on trial that night and had de-
MED to the enemies of Christ that
he ever knew Christ.
"The enemies did not build the
second fire. The disciples were by
the seaside mending their nets af-
ter they had toiled all night and
had caught nothing. Jesus appear
ed on the scene and He asked
them if they had any meat. He
did not tell them, but He had
meat, and to spare. The enemies
of Christ didn't kindle that fire at
all. This was the fire of restora-
ton. 1t may be tonight that Gods
Spirit is wooing at your heart, to
come back to Bethel This was
a fire to warm hayward hearts,
and this was the fire of forgive
ness.
christian people ought not to
warm at the first fire, you ought
to come and warm at the second
fire." Rev. Haney said, accord
ing to the Word of God, and the
way some people are living, II
they ever get to Heaven, they will
smell like sulphur because they
will have escaned He'll so narrow
ly.
every word, every deed in
your life will be revealed in
Heaven. If l am not serving the
Lord for His glory l had just as
we'll not serve him at ALL" he de-
clared.
Services are being held each
morning at 9 o'clock and each
evening at 8 o'clock.

thirds rule-a, device that gives
her a far more important role in
the direction of Democratic af-
fairs than her population war
rants. Under the two-thirds rule
she can form a solid; stubborn
wall of delegates and block the
nomination of any man. At the
last minute the south snatched
from the fire of battle a compro-
mise that will take much of the
sting out of her defeat.
This fight occurred before the
conventions rules committee,
headed by Senator Bennett C..
Clark of Missouri, whose father
lost the presidential nomination
at Baltimore in 1912 because he
never could get two-thirds of the
votes, although he had a major
ity.
Northern and eastern leaders
on the committee agreed to rec
ommend to the delegates that the
national committee study, between
now and the next convention, a
plan to reapportion delegate
strength on the straight popula-
ton basis. One suggestion already
circulating here is that the popu-
lation basis be abandoned in IA
vor of a system based on the
number of Democratic votes in
each state.
The practical effect of such a
change would be to increase the
number of delegates from south
ern states, which are heavily
Democratic.
The motion to refer the reap
portionment issue to the national
committee passed the rules COM

Hot Dog Boom Brings
Growls From Housewives

Dunn.-True to the adage that
every dog has his day. is the re-
cent boom here of the humble
variety that goes in roll with chop
ned onions and mustard. The run
on hot dogs started in the snowy
cold spell as an antidote for wet
feet and cold noses. Now, house
wives say, the rage has gone too
far.
Husbands come home happy and
content, but stupid from overstuff-
ing and totally unfit to appreciate
the finer points of culinary skill.
Since the lowly wiener came into
IFS own, average daily sales of ven
doris have leaped from around SO

Tenancy
Is Increasing
Nearly Half Of Farmers
In North Carolina Are
Tenants

A continued increase in thu
number of tenant farmers il
North Carolina has been revealed
by reports of the 1885 Census Of
Agriculture. From 1880 to 1895
while the total number of farm:
in the state was growing from
279,7oS, to 300,967 the number Of
farm tenat increased ; per cent.
Numerically, the tenant group
grew from 1855 to 142,15S dur
ing the five-year period. Forty
nine per CENT of all the farmers
in North Carolina we're tenants in
1885, the census figures further
revealed. These figures were as
sembled in connection with the pre-
paration of a report on farm ten
ancy by the Division of Land Utili-
alton of the Resettiement Admin
istrarion.
Final results of the Census of
Agriculture have not been tabulat-
ed for all states. Figures for thir-
ty-eight states indicate, however.
an increase in the number of farm
tenants in most sections of the
country. Approximately 4 pei
cent of all farms in the United
States are now operated by tenants
The trend of recent years is in &C
cordance with the steady increase in
the percentage of tenants since the
first count was made in 1880. AT
that time, Is per cent, of the farm
ers were listed as tenants.
Attempts to check the growth
of tenancy have been made chiefly
because of the instability of resi-
dence associated with a farm ten
ant system throughout the United
States, studies show that the ten
ant farmer moves on an average OF
every four years.
Because of this change in resi-
dence, the functioning of schools
churches, and other community en-
terprises such as cooperative or
CARNATIONS is badly handicapped
The impermanent interest which
many farmers have in their lane
prevents their giving attention tt
soil conservation, the checking o:
erosion and the upkeep of farm
buildings. The tenant hesitates tt
make Improvements or the farm
which would only benefit his sue
cessor.
In the past tenancy has been con
sidered a stepping stone to farm
ownership, and as a means where
by farmers lacking capital coul'
obtain experience in farm manage
ment. The steady increase in tn
proportion of older tenants, how
ever, indicates that fewer men ar
now being able to move up the las
rung of the ladder to farm owner
ship.

Air Mail
Written BY CIV.

AAAdSAPAAd'- 41S WOlAO 11ISI
air-mail letter is said to have been
carried from Philadelphia to Wood
bury, N. j., just 143 years ago.
Old records show that it was taken
with the French ballonist Jean
Pierde Blanchard, when with his
dog for company, he assembled
Jan. 9, 1898, from the yard of the
old Walnut Street Prison, a site
now occupied by the Penn Mutual
Life Insurance Company's build
ing.
1t could hardly be said that air
mail service was given, since there
was a considerable element of I'M
certainty as to just where the let
ter would be delivered-in fact that
was one reason why it had been
written.
Its author was George Washing
ton, and it was written as a kind
of introduction for the aviator to
the citizens of the neighborhood in
which he happened to land. Col.
Charles A. Lindbergh also carried
a letter of Identification from pro-
minent citizens of St. Louis, when
he flew to Paris.
The Washington letter reads as
follows:
ITO all to whom these presents
shall come
1.-THE bearer hereof, Mr.. Blan-
chard, a citizen of France, proPos-
ing to ascend in a balloon from the
city of Philadelphia at 10 a. m.
this day to pass in such direction
and to descend in such place as
circumstances may render most
convenient.
"These are there to recommend
to all citizens of the United States
and Others that in his passage, des-
cent, return, or journeying else
where, they oppose no hindrance or
molestation to the said Mr.. Blanch-
ard; and that on the contrary they
receive and aid him with that
humanity and good will which may
render honor to their country and
Justice to an individual so distin-
guished by his efforts to establish
and advance his art in order to
make it useful to mankind in gen.
eral.

ninth day of January, seventeen

Washington himself was among
those who watched the slow infla-
ton of the bright yellow varnish-
ed-silk bag, and saw Blanchard ster
into what is described as a boat

ening gilt spangles. As the bal
loon began its ascent, the areonaut
waved the French flag and the
Stars and Stripes together.

air, so that this could be weighed
by physical scientists in the city
and compared to the weight of al,

stone and reported that it was con-
siderably lighter than it had beer
on the ground.
After leaving Philadelphia at II
a. M, and reaching Woodbury., N

the city the same evening.
