OFFICERS LOCATE

Ingenious Method of Con-

and Constable John Mundy and
Frank Gupton, from fiAaing it this
morning.
The officers staged their raids in
the "Mocassin Bottom" section, and
took Edgar Henley into custody. Hen
ley had five gallons buried under his
house, with copper tubes attached.
Air was forced into the barrel, send
ing the whisky out another tube.
The officers visited the house Of
w. A. Mckinley, and found two five
gallon kegs that worked on the same
principal
Mckinley fled, but Officer Cham
pion became suspicious Of loose
nail in the floor, pulling it out, and
found that it concealed the opening
of a tube. The tube led to five gal
Ions Of whisky concealed in masonry
of a fire place, and another five gal
Ions underneath the house. Two
tubes were attached to each barrel,
one for the air to be forced in by
an ordinary auto tire pump and the
other was for the whisky to escape
when the air pressure in the barrel
was sufficient to force it out. Henley

Near Death
From Wreck

Mark A. Andrews, 38, OF Rich
mond, Va, who was injured in an
automobile accident near Ridgeway
Saturday evening about o'clock,
continued in a critical condition at
Maria Parham hospital here today.
He has been unconscious since the
accident, and has a broken leg and
a broken arm and fractured skull.
His leg is understood to be broken
in three places.
Mr.. Andrews showed signs of i'm
provement Sunday, though he never
regained consciousness. His condition
was not as favorable today as it was
Sunday, according to his doctor, and
there were grave fears about his re-
covery.
Mrs. Andrews and their 16-year-
old daughter arrived early Sunday
morning and have been with him
constantly since then. They came
from their home in Richmond.
The accident occurred as Mr.. An
dreWs was enroute to Henderson. He
was alone in the car at the time. He
apparently lost control of the car and
it ran off a shallow embanlkment and
crashed into pole, virtually de-
molishing his car. He was a salesman
and travelled for the Gary Steel Pro-
ducts Company of Norfolk, Va.
An ambulance from Henderson
went to the scene of the wreck and
hurried the injured man to Maria
Parham hospital here.

To Discuss
1889 Budget

A meeting of the Vance Board Of
County Commissioners is to be held
tomorrow for a further consideration
of the 1939-40 county budget. 1t is
not considered likely that the budget
will be finally adopted at the meet
ing, though that could happen if the
members decide to act at the time.
The tentative draft of the expen-
ditures for the new fiscal year was
before the commissioners at their
regular July meeting a week ago,
and at that time was discussed in
part. But there was not time then
to go into the proposed spending
program as fully as was desired be-
cause of the pressure of routine mat
ters common at regular monthly
meetings.

Says Siding
With God Is
Salvation
Trying Divine Plan To
Solve Problems | s
Worlds Biggest Need,
Rev. James Jone S
Tells Union Service
Congregation

Taking sides with God in the
broader sense of the word is eternal
salvation, and that is what the world
most needs today to solve its prob
lens of fear and unrest, Rev. James
A. Jones, pastor of the First Presby-
terian church, told the congregation
at the union service of five cOOpera-
ing churches last night at the First
Methodist church,
Mr. Jones sermon subject was
"The Ancient Modernism of Sin"
His text was from the 10Th chapter
of Acts, the jailor's importantly of
Paul and Silas, What must l do to
be Saved?"
Rev R. E. Brown, pastor of the
host church, presidend, and announc-
ed that the union service next Sun
day evening will be at the Congre-
gational Christian church, with the
sermon by Rev. c. L. Moody, who
will be in the midst of revival at
that church at the time.
The invocation at last nights SER
vice was by Rev. 7. J. Whitehead,
pastor of Christ Methodist church,
and Rev. j. Everette NeeSe, pastor
of the Congregational Christian
church, read the Scripture passage,
which was the background for the
sermon by Rev Mr. Jones.
The First Methodist choir sang an
anthem, and the benediction was by
Rev. Mr. Jones following the final
hymn.
Members of five cooperating
churches made up the congregation,
which comfortably filled a large part
of the auditorium though it was felt
that many were kept away by the
rain that came just before the SER
vice.
In the jailor's plea to the apostles,
said Mr.. Jones, was the implied con-
viction that the jailOr felt his need
of salvation and that the two Chris
tian preachers could show him how
he might obtain that salvation. The
question is as important today as
when first asked in the Philippian
prison nearly 1000 years ago, said
the preacher 1t is of paramount i'm
portance to every Individual
In concluding that salvation is a
taking sides with God, one of the best
and plaineSt manifestations of the
individuals stand in that respect is
attendance upon church services. He
said the older he grew and the
longer he preached, the more he
questioned the sincerity of the re-
ligion of those who failed to go to
church.
After Munich and after what is
now going on at Tientsin, said the
speaker, it would seem that there is
nothing else left for the world to do
and no further move to make but
embrace the word of God and the
teachings of Jesus Christ. Social,
economic, religious and political
problems have been attacked from
practically all imaginable angles and
no permanent solution has as yet
been found The League of Nations
was unable to discover a solution
for the bankruptcy of international
relations. Men and nations had no
definite, satisfactory formula in 1776,
nor in 1912, nor in 1870 nor even in
1914, as it has not today. The stream
of life is contaminated with the evils
of materialism today as it has al
ways been.
The world has never seen at any
time q trial of Christian principles

Chinese Is
For
The Baptists

Rev. c. K. Djang, native Chinese
and prominent in Baptist church
work in his home country, preached
at the First Baptist church here Sun
day morning, and was heard by a
large congregation.
The speaker made little reference
to the Chinese-Japanese war, but did
say that the Chinese people are a
deeply religious race, much more so
than Americans. He said Christianiz-
ing of China would find a ready re-
Spouse where intensive efforts were
put forth.
Rev. Mr.. Djang has been in this
country with his wife for some
months, and expects shortly to return
to China, where he is to become a
teacher in a university at Shanghai

by any nation in the conduct of its
own government or in its relations
with other peoples, and there has
never been any proof of the mar
velous results that can be achieved
by such a policy, wherein a govern
ment and its people place themselves
avowedly and definitely on the side
of Christ. Many are hoping and
praying that the United States will
yet come to such decision to claim
the blessing of God for such fealty
to him.
He hoped it would be, but said
such decision must first be reach
ed by the individuals who make up
the nation.
