Ashe Ministers
At Conference
Western N. G.. MethOdiStS
Gather In Charlotte For
Annual Meet

Ashe county Methodist minis
tiers and their lay delegates left
early this week for the Western
North Carolina conference held
in Charlotte, which opened Mon
day and will continue through
Friday. Bishop Clare Purcell
presides.
Delegates, clerical and Law,
number about 900. Allowing for
the absence of some lay delegates
and including guests from out
side the conference territory, Of
fetal attendance will probably
total about 800. In the main, the
delegates will be entertained in
local homes. All Charlotte Meth
odist churches are working to-
gether in entertainment.
Few or no changes are expect
ed in Ashe county. Rev. J. C.
Wootton recently left the War
rensville Charge and went to
Kentucky. This vacancy will
have to be filled.
Tangible evidence of the re-
markable progress achieved a.
long financial lines during the
conference year NOW ending is
embraced in preliminary report
obtained from Rev. E. o. Cole, of
Charlotte and Derita, conference
treasurer.
To date this year, the report
shows, the treasurer has received
$153,942.85. AS the churches &C.
cepted an apportionment of $172,-
914.48, this leaves a balance of
$l8,%1.63. "The pre-conference
payments" he said, "are in adj
vance of any previous record"

The fool into his folly; ensnare
the innocent and smooth the
downward path for countless mil
lions; I have ruined millions and
shall ruin millions more" But we
are not confronted with lack of
knowledge of the evils but the
Unsuitable thirst of the drinker
and the excessive desire for gain
on the part of those engaged in
the sale of it as a beverage. The
covetousness of the liquor in
terests and the drinkers insati-
able thirst unite to make the prob
!! lem all the more serious and diff
ficult of solution.
It is the writer's opinion that
the following steps may point
toward the solution of the alcohol
problem. (D, Christian citizens
should endeavor by concerted &C
ton through education and other
means to enlist public opinion in
the interest of legislation to curb
and rigidly control the manufac-
ture and sale of all alcoholic bev-
erages. It is true that legislation
will not make America a sober
people no more than the laws
prohibiting theft and murder have
freed us from thieves and MUIR
derers. But no one is in favor of
repeating the laws against murder
and theft. Laws merely assist in
controlling these evils. (2), Pub
lin opinion should be enlisted a.
gainst advertising of all alcoholic
beverages. (3), Endeavor to enlist
the active interest of the church,
the school and the home in teach
ing the children and young people
the evils of alcoholic beverages.
These institutions should take an
uncompromising stand against this
evil which brings nothing but
blood and tears.

THE top photo, one Of the most graphic taken dur

as the destroyer attempted to the U-boat. The
action during this encounter took place at extremely
close range-often with the two vessels more than
few feet apart. The destroyer just missed ramrng
the submarine when this photo was taken by a mem
Der OF the crew, but her aim accurate and
deadly little later, and the sub crashed by the
destroyers bow. The raider stood suspended in the
ocean for moment and then swallowed up by
the waves.
The survivors of the submarine were picked up

Defer
Married Men
State Hos Single
Men for Quotes

LANSING, Oct. 80 - R -
Prompt passage of legislation to
draft 18 and 19-year-old youths
for military service may make ii
unnecessary to induct married
men before the start of 1913,
Col. E. M. Rosecrans, State Sc
lective Service director, asserted
today.
eve have enough single men
in the state to fill our November
quota" Col. Rosecrans asserted,
land we will have quite few
left for the December quota. We
don't know just how m;lly, Of
course, but if the Is and 49,
year-old groups are made avail
able soon we think they will fill
the gap enough SO that we won't
have to take married men for q
while longer"
Rosecrans pointed out, how
ever, that more than month is
required to process a draftee to
the stage of induction and that
if the pending legislation were
enacted next week not many of
the youths would be available
for military service until late in
December.
Previously Selective Service
officials had indicated that some
married man may be taken in
December.

BERRYVILLE, Ark, Oct. 80
AT least q persons were
killed and more than 200 injur-
ed, many critically when a tor
nado leveled more than half of
this Ozark mountain town late
last night.
Several of the injured were
so badly hurt that physicians
advised against transporting to
hospitals.
Fires broke out Immediately
after the tornado, forcing the
survivors to drop their rescue
operations for time to prevent
spread of the flames through
the splintered wreckage.
Approximately Is persons
were trapped and injured in the
collapse of the Missouri and
Arkansas railroad station. Most
of them were waiting to board
q northbound train.
Without hospital facilities, the
stricken town of 1895 was
handicapped further by destruc-
ton of the only drug store and
consequent loss of the only drugs
and medical supplies within 80
miles.
FLAMES BREAK OUT
Several fires broke OUT i'm
mediately after the tornado,
forcing would-be rescsaass to d.
vert their energies TO freight
ing for q time. All were con-
trolled, however, before getting
a Roadway in the splintered
wreckage.
The electric light and power
plant was destroyed, forcing
rescue squads to work under inn
provised lighting systems, and
with flares and electric toches.
Fifteen bodies were taken to
one undertaking parlor alone,
and the telephone operator said
relief workers reported dragging
as many more from the ruins.
