HIGH POINT CHOSEN

The 21st annual convention of
the North Carolina department
of the American Legion held in
Raleigh ended Tuesday, with the
election of J. H. Rose of Green
vile as the commander, and High
Point as the next convention city.
P. c.. Wright, of West Jeffer-
con, Judge Don McRae, of High
Point, end w. H. Bailey, of Beau
fort, were unanimously elected as
Vice Commanders.
Mr.. Wright who has long been
active in Legion work, was the
first commander of the Ashe
county post and is the retiring
commander of the 18th district.
Last year he was awarded the
Bryce Beard trophy for distingui-
shed service. His election as a
Vice Commander was not unex-
pected to his many friends among
the American Legion as we'll as
others who have followed his
work and interest in the organiza-
ton.
Mr.. Wright and Ed. D. Barr

Members Of the legion went on
record as adopting a resolution
urging rededication to fight "a
,rend in government which robs
men of those individual liberties
which civilized people were cen
uries obtaining"
Frank E. Samuel, national adj
utant of the American legion,
old the convention that legionnai-
'es should continue to strive for
m adequate national defense and
hould oppose the war referen-
lum proposal"
That proposal, if adopted, he
aid, would "embarrass the ma
ion in it's international relations
md weaken the diplomatic posi-
ion just as failure to provide an
ldequate army, navy or air force
would mean the nations defense.
The departments convention,
which began Sunday, was attend
ID by about 1000 members of the
egion and it's affiliated organiza-
ions - the 40 and 8, the auxili-
Try, Sons of the Legion and the

four of the six years he served as
sheriff, tax collector and treas

For trial purposes the four
suits were more or less consoli-

The first suit, which covers
period extending from November,
1882 to February, 1885, alleges an
Indebtedness of nearly $4,000,
and Smith said his records show
ed it as follows:

$4,000; miscellaneous receipts

No. 6. $19.75; variations in claims
paid and those claimed settled,
ST ,44931; transfer from emer-
gency relief funds, nearly ST.
900; beer and wine license num-
bers and 10, not included in set
Elements, $4,000 and so on, max
ing a total of $19,840.17.
For the period from February,
1885 to Sept, 1885, he said the
audit showed an indebtedness of
nearly 100000.
The third suit extending from
October, 1885, to December, Z,
1886 shows an alleged indebted
ness of approximately $4,000 and
nearly $4,000 for the last suit, he
stated.
A total of nearly $4,000 of this
he said, represented
for land sales certifi-
Gates which the plaintiff con-
tends Miller was not entitled to
receive.
Smith said that Ex-Sheriff Mil
.er should have paid for his own
ponds, which, according to the
audit, cost the county $4,000.

CHRmSTIAN SCIENCE

soul and Body is the subject of
the Lesson-Sermon on Sunday in
all Churches of Christ, Scientist.
The Golden Text is from I Corin-
thians: What? know ye not that
your body is the temple of the Holy
Ghost which is in you, which ye
have of God, and ye are not your
own"
The Lesson Sermon includes also
these passages from Matthew: And
when Jesus departed thence, two
blind men followed him, crying,
and saying, Thou son of David,
have mercy on us and Jesus
saith unto them, Believe ye that l
am able to do this? They said unto
him. Yea, Lord. Then touched he
their eyes. saying. According to
your faith be it unto you. And their
eyes were opened" These selec-
tions from Mark are also presented:
"And they bring unto him one that
was deaf. and had an impediment
in his speech; 49,. And looking up to
heaven, he sighed. and saith unto
him, Ephphatha, that is. Be opened.
And straightway his ears were
opened and the string of his tongue
was loose. and he spake plain"
Among the passages from the
Christian Science textbook, "Sci-
ence and Health with Key to the
Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy,
are the statements: There is more
Christianity in seeing and hearing
spiritually than materially. . The
apprehension of this gave sight to
the blind and hearing to the deaf
centuries ago, and it will repeat
the wonder"
