PLAN TO LEAD SOUTH OUT OF WILDERNESS New York Women to Auction Bridge to Help The Illiterate Whites (By M. R. Dunnagan in Charlotte Observer.) New York, March vast percentage of illiterate, nativeborn whites in the southern states is a ious menace to the future welfare of this nation," the New York auxiliary of the Southern Industrial association announces, and, "to remedy this condition" the members and others, in the name of sweet charity, will play auction bridge on April 10 at the Biltmore hotel.

A snort of digust that went up from a southerner temporarily locited 111 the metropolis caused consternation to 8. group around him. But he soon cooled off after reading the article, including the statement from the charity organization that is so worried about the people of his section. Finally he said: "Well, let them alone. They get lots of satisfaction out of the belief that they are following in the foot steps of the Good Samaritan.

At the same time, they are putting back into the south a little of the money the northern carpetbeggers carried off." "Yes," chimed in another "down "and a little of the money the south is paying toward the support of the federal veterans of the war between the states. By the way, 'you've got to hand it to President Harding for nipping in the bud the legislation of some of the legislators who would have extended it to the third and fourth generations." The south, you know pays something like a fourth of that pension fund, in addition to looking after the pensions of their own Confederate veterans, with state "I've been taught to be courteous to women, but I do wish she had been a man," said another whose sectionalism could not be mistaken, He amplified his statement by saying that he had met a very promient New York women a few days before and that she had drawn herself up and pulled a little closer around her the cloak of satisfaction at good deeds well done and appeared to speak down at him as she told of having been south as a representative of her educational society in the interest of the benighted natives, The statement attributed to the association in New York papers, announcing the bridge party, is as follows: "In the south, the county' and state appropriations for education go to the districts where there are the greatest number of children. As mostly negroes flock to the centers, they become the greater beneficaries. There are today 1,600,000 negro children in the public schools supported by the southern states. In these states the negroes are only able to pay from one-fifth to onefifteenth of the direct taxes but they in turn receive more than one half of the appropriation for the common school education.

"In most of the southern states 50 per cent of the revenues for general 1 purposes is appropriated to public education. The vast percentage of Illiterate native-born whites in the southern states is a serious menace to the future welfare of this nation. Thirty years ago the illiterate negroes outnumbered the illiterate whites by a vast majority, but today the illiterate whites outnumber the illiterate WOMAN'S MISSIONARY UNION ENJOYS RECORD ATTENDANCE Durham March 27. -The Woman's Missionary union, auxiliary to the Baptist state convention, met in the auditorium of the First Baptist church of this city tonight in its 33d annual session with a record ing attendance, it is thought.

AT WILSON THURSDAY Raps Evolutionist, Bolsheviks, EtcExpects To See America So Dry You Will Have To Prime A Man Before He Can Spit. Wilson, March Sunday rung down the curtain on the eastern Carolina Exposition with a whoop that found a tremendous echo in four thousand people who paid a dollar to hear him peel the hide of the Bolshevik labor agitators, the makers and drinkers of liquor, the modern flapper and conclude with a thumb-nail sketch of his own life and works. Theoretically the skyrocketing evangelist was preaching a sermon, but no political mass meeting away back in the days when prohibition was an academic theory could touch the crowd in the fervor of its volcanic enthusiasm.

If anybody brought their ecclesiastical decorum with them, they forget all about it when Billy Sunday got to sweating and shed his coat and vest in the ninth minute of his speech. They whooped themselves hoarse. Goes After Evolutionist. He went after the modernist professor of evolution. "Nobody can tell whether a man came out of the Garden of Eden or a zoological garden when you are done listening to these The invectives were lost in a tumult of Very evidently Wilson and contiguous territory is not strong on evolution.

Out of the (umult of applause the speaker's voice came again, hurling invectives upon the head of the higher critics, who come over with the bolshevik. "He is the lowest down man-why don't believe God Almighty himself had anything to do with creating him. had rather live in hell with Ivan, the Terrible, Jezebel and Judas Iscariot; had rather be a maggot in the carcass of a polecat than live here with these good for-nothing, blackhearted crooks. The milk of human kindness in them has turned to limberger cheese. I would not be surprise to hear of them stealing their own guts and selling them to a low down sausage maker.

Must Keep America Clean. "I would knock into a cocked hat the idea that America is to be made the dumping ground for all Europe's filth. America is placed in a position where it has got to save the crooks, and we have got to keep it clean. Nine-tenths of the strikes in this country are organized by propaganda inspired by these bolshevik, God-forsaken, good for nothing agitators. They lost this country four billion dollars last year.

It has got to stop! We have got to run these crooks back across the sea from where they came! "Neither capital nor labor has the right to arrogate to itself the right to jeopardize the rights of the average man in the settlement of their differences, he declared. The people must be the arbitrators and not labor agitators, seeking to overthrow the government, nor capitalistic classes, seeking to control it for selfish This arraignment ended with a magnificent gesture. Poised on the ball of his right foot, he spun around over the edge of the platform. It looked for the world like he might. tumble down through the thicket of crepe paper lilies and be lost down the throat of the bass horn.

But he caught himself gracefully, and his infectious smile spread over his face. Then it was the anti-prohibitionists turn at the mill. He sketched his part in the prohibition fight briefly. Expects to See America Dry "I have lived long enough to gee liquor outlawed, and by the Eternal God, I am going to live long rough to see America so dry that you will have to prime a man before he can spit!" Mr. Sunday spat.

A great, exploder sive gesture with his entire face, but it was a carefully done expectoration. Its consequences embarrassed nobody. It was a word of art, that gesture. "Prohibition is now only a question of obeying the law. If you officers haven't got guts enough to enforce it, you are blackhearted he challenged.

"It isn't a question of whether you apthe law; it is a question of prove whether you are going to obey it." He went after the scalp of deacons in churches with "lace curtain whiskers, deacons who hold their talons on the throats of preachers who are afraid to speak out for fear of losing their miserable jobs. "Stop dosing the church on paregoric!" he exclaimed. "Stop using a tack hammer, Give me a sledge hammer and an Elijah to use it." That was the cost of prohibition, except for a vitrolic description of the manufacture and manufacturers of liquor. "They make it out of weeds and grass and flies and manure and dead niggers and garter MRS. A.

McLurd, which occurred Thursday at 10:30 A. was not unexpected, as she hed been ill for several weeks. She passed away peacefully, with all her children by her bedside.

She was converted and joined the Methodist church at 16 years of age at the Rock Springs Camp Ground. During her 70 years of church membership she almost grew up with the Methodism of this country and could converse with inteligence and in a very entertaining way about the history of her church as well as about the marvelous growth and development of the country during her lifetime. She had very vivid recollections of the stirring events of slavery, especially just before and just following the civil war, she having been married to Mr. Robinson Levi McLurd on the 24th of July 1860.

Raps Parlor Bolshevik Along with these he ranked the intellectual bolshevik who is undermining the "Capitol at Washington tunneling under the Church of God, digging under our educational institutions with a keg of powder unhis arm and a box of matches in his hand." But the government, he thanked God, is too big to be run by these people, and industry is too big to be run by the government.

"If that day comes when the country is run by these black- hearted rough necks, buzzards will marry turtle doves, chickens will give milk and cows will lay eggs, dogs wi meow and cats will bark, pigs will bray and jackesses will grunt and yesterday will be the day after tomorrow," he exclaimed, hooking heel over the edge of the table and leveling his gaze over the faudience along his outspread fingers. "No flag is greater than the people who live under it. What if Eugence V. Debs was President of this country? Hell would hold a jubilee and angels would hang crepe on the doors of heaven. You can't sidestep and you can't detour.

You have got to face the issue in this country. You have got to go out with a blue-backed spelling book in one, hand and a Bible in the other and save this world." SHORT NEWS ITEMS M. R.
