Two years ago George T. B. Davis

Davis, known the world around for
his evangelistic campaigns in distri

years earlier, in 1881, but when he

This new series ty Mr.. Davis will
begin in an October issue and con-

The articles will be illustrated by
fresh and unique photographs brought
from Palestine by Mr. Davis.
One of the early articles in this new
and startling series on Palestine has
as it's title the question "Who Owns
Palestine?" Mr.. Davis discusses the
question from every angle, showing
the just claims of the British, the in
sistant claism of the Arabs, and then
goes back to the indisputable author
ity of Gods Word. This article is of
the greatest value to Bible students,
ministers, Sunday school teachers, as
well as statesmen and international
politicians. It gives an Accordingly in

ton, "Who Owns Palestine?" There
are, in Palestine today, asout ten
times as many Jews as returned from
the Babylonian captivity under Ezra
Nehemiah. Today's figure is some $780,
900 Jews. They did not have an easy

his problems with the Arabs and their
friends long ago; Britain is having a

Davis, among other striking parallels
between the historic return of the
Jews from Babylon and their return
now.

ANTEBELLUM HOME
DESTROYED BY FIRE
Handsome Structure Near Rocking
ham and Valued Articles Lost
Tuesday Afternoon.

Rockingham, Oct. 21.-Fire shortly
razzed the handsome old home of Miss
Easdale Shaw, half mile from here,
destroying number of antiques,
paintings and other valuable articles
on Tuesday.
A force of eight men was papering
the walls and renovating the interior
of the old home, which dates from
Civil war days, and in an effort to
destroy troublesome wasp nest on
the back porch by burning it out, fire
managed to get between the walls.
Built of heart pine, the structure soon
was a roaring inferno.
Situated half mile from the near
est water hydrant, the efforts of To-
cal fire fighters were futile. Much
of the furniture, however, was saved.
Miss Shaw carried insurance, it was
reported.
Miss Shaw and Miss Heloise Smith
were at home at the time and as
sisted in saving rare items of china
and furniture. The old home was built
over IS years ago by the late Ben
F. Covington, but was bought by the
late Major John D. Shaw in 1879.
