PROTEST FAIR G.
County Court Is Petitioned to
Stop Motor Car Races at
Fair Grounds This Sunday
and All Future Sundays
Reasons Are Given.
' Protestant mIninttMH from all parts
of JackHon county, whose nanu'H f I
w, presented n formal protest yes
terday to llio county court and the.
Jackfion County 1'air iihhiw fatlon
itKainst the practice of permlltlnK
Bund ay racing at the county fair
grounds. The Htiitement Is as fol
io wh:
To the Hon. Court of Jackson
county, and to the Jm-kson
County Fair Association :
Dear HIih:
We understand, through tho
public press, that it Is the in
tention of the Jack Hon County
Fair association to hold, or to
permit to be held, auto and
motorcycle races at the county
fair grounds on Sunday, June
1-1, this mouth.
Upon a former occasion when
announcements Itad been made
relative to similar use of tho
county fair grounds on Sunday,
protests wore made by tho As
Hoclatlon of Ministers of Aledford
and by tho vote of their several
church congregations assembled,
and we-wre given to understand
by our committee who took the
mutter up with those In charge,
that on account of certain ecn
tracts being signed it could he
called off only at considerable fi
nancial loss to the Fair associa
tion, but that in the future they
would not permit the use of the
county fair grounds on Sundays
for such events.
We, Protostant ministers of
the several communities of Jack
son county,, representing a mem
bership and constituency uf sev
eral thousand citizens of this
county, hereby enter a most em
phatic protest against the. use of
the JackMun county fair grounds
for the purpose of commercial
ized umuHcnu'ntH of tills nature
Sunday, June 14, this mouth, or
oniany future Sunday.
Such a practice wo believe lo
bo opposed and at variance wit It
the established usage and sanc
tity uccorded the recognized
Christian Sabbath in America,
Wherever and whonever this
recognition has been vlolutcd,
it has tended to destroy the com
munity morale In Its attitude
toward one of the oldest Instl
tutloiiH of the nation, the Amer
ican Christian Sabbath. We do
not believe that our communi
ties or county through any publicly-owned
Institution, can af
ford to disregard this undent
usage.
May wo also call to your at
tention that the practice of per
mitting Sunday amusements of
this nature, is an aflront to tho
Christian conscience of the thous
ands of citizens of this county
who adhere to the organizations
which we represent and cf many
others, wo are persuaded, who
have the same regard for tho
Hanetity of tho Christian Sab
bath, as have we.

WILBJTS PLEA
Secretary of Navy Gives His
Ideas On Evolution and the
Bible Believes in Both
Bible and Nature To Ig
nore Either Foolish.
DURHAM, N. C-, June 10. (By
Associated Picks.) Some of the ques
tions Involved In discussions of the
lllble mid evolution were touched
upon by Secretary Wilbur of the navy
department In a prepared commence
ment address today at Duke univer
sity, on the subject "common sense.'
I Quoting as his text "If any man
lack wisdom let him usk of Coil who
giveth abundantly and uphraidcth
not, and it shall be' given him."
Appealing for application of com
mon sense to many of the problems of
life, .Mr. Wilbur said:
"We nt-odj common sense In relig
ion. "If the Hible Is the inspired word of
Cod as we believe." he added, "then
lie created the universe find left the
record of that creation forever In
scribed upon all created thingH.
There are at least two divine books,
the Holy Hible, on whose pages are
inscribed the doings and sayings of
holy men, ami the book of nature. A
parf of this historical story Is plainly
written upon the geological strata
which circumscribe the glohe. Com
mon sense suggests that these two
records be considered together find
that to reject nnd utterly ignore
either is equally foolish.
"Science today, whatever cIko it
may have accomplished, has demon
strated that the universe is construct
ed on a plan nnd has been created
according to laws which still opeiate
daily.
"These results not only suggest, but
they demand u Planner and a Creator
and n Law diver. Reason cannot go
so far as to discover these laws and
plans and created things without go
ing a step further to the Creator, dis
cerning some of bis attributes by the
things He has done.
"1 was asked the other day if I
believed in a future life, ami what
proof there was of such life. I re
plied that it took faith to apprehend
and believe In a future life. Hut there
are ample proofs of a future life If we
care to weigh them and the funda
mental one around which alt others
center is the resurrection of Jesus
Christ.,. If Christ rose from the dead
it proves that there Is a future live. (
What evidence Is there of IiIh resur-
red lull 'I'll is desk behind which 1
.stand, this building in which 1 speak,
litis inMituliou in which you are
trained and every Christian church in
existence and eery Christian Institu
tion and every Christian in the uni
verse now and since the day of the
e.HUt i c ctioii, if! evidence of the resur
rection. It was this incident which
transfoimcd the eleven disciples from
fleeing cowards and dismayed at the
crucifixion into inspired prophets who
assailed the world singlchnnded and '
sought In a generation to convert all
men to Christianity ant) to a belief in
the resurrection. It was faith In this
resurrection that enabled men who
had fled from mere rebuke and cen
sure to calmly face a martyrs death.
To believe In such a transforma
tion of the disciples without an ade-
iiaie riiui ri'iuiit?t nit'i"r uivuuiii) i
than to believe in the resurrection.
nid when they themselves asserted
the resurrection of Jesus as the source I
f their inspiration they furnished the
explanation of their conduct nnd gavel
evidence of the truth of their asser-j
Hon.
"If we accept as a basis of life the
first verse of the first chapter of
(diesis, the first verse of the twenty- i
third psalm, and ihe first two sen-1
tences of the Lord's prayer, we shall
1m ve In those declarations, made bun-I
dreds of years apart, a sure fnunda-'
tlon for investigation Into the truth
of religion as revealed In the Hible
and In nature.
"These verses are as follows:
" 'In the beglnninu: Cod creat
ed the heavens nnd the earth.'
" "The Lord Is my shepherd. I
shall not want.'
" 'Our Father who art In heav
en, hallowed be Thy name. Thy
kingdom come. Thy will he done
on earth as it Is In Heaven.'
"And If we are willing to reg
ulate our conduct according to
the truth thus discovered, we
cannot go far wrong, for H Is
written 'he that doelh the will of
(lod shall know of the doctrine
whether it be true or false.' "

IN RELIGION I
PREPARING SPEECH
I MIAMI, Fla.. June 10. William
Jennings Hryan remained serene
when informed todav of the formid
able array of counsel engaged to de
fend John T. Scopes, charged with
having violated the Tennesse anti-evolution
law.
"From the number and prominence
of the defense counsel they realize the
importance of the ease the magni
tude of the issye Involved, but we will
he ready for them," he said. "This
case deals with education and religion
who shall control the public schools
anil whether they shall he allowed
to undermine religion. Religion and
education are the two greatest sub
jects known to man."
Air, Hryan said he would spend most
of his time on his estate near Miami,
until the opening of the evolution trial
July 10, in preparing his speech to the
Jury and in compiling Information on
which he hopes to convict Scopes.
IS RIPE SUBJECT
PARIS, June 10. (Hy Associated
Press.) The French senato lust even
ing was the scene of a heated debate
on the question of whether Roquefort
cheese should only be entitled to the
name Roquefort when made from
shceps' milk find ripened in the
Roquefort caves.
The pro-Roquefort senators demand
to that effect was challenged by the
pro-druyere senators who argued
that the departments producing (iruy
ere cheese had to pay fin export tux of
fifteen per cent while Roquefort paid
no tax and therefore that it was only
Just to allow the druyere depart
ments to make "Roquefort" even
from cows' milk, as compensation.
During. the debate one of the speak
ers quoted tributes which he said hud
been paid to Roquefort cheese by
Pliny, the elder, and Julius Caesar.
So decision was reached.

SHERIFF SEIZ&
RANCH STILL IN
J'VILLE DISTRICT!
Forty gallons of mash, thee quarts
of moonshine and a still were confis
cated by officers when they raided the
ranc hof Frank M. White, two and a
half miles north of Jacksonville on tho
Gold Hill road about 8 o'clock Monday
evening. .
The mash was just In readiness for
the next day's run and apparently the
supply of moonshine had all been sold
out when the still was raided, for only
three (marts could be found. Mr.
White readily confessed his guilt, even ;
giving the information that he had '
been receiving $j a quart for the fin- .
Ished product.
The equipment was very crude, and
the sheriff's office believes that the
finished product wnH more or less pois- 1
onous. When tested for alcoholic con- '
tent 80 per cent wns found to be the
result when the moonshine was cold
and when heated It tested many de
grees more.
The officers who made the arrest
were Sheriff Ralph Jennings, Federal
Agents C. McCredie, K. McKollar. Dis
trict Attorney Chancy and Deputy j
Sheriff Lewis Jennings. '

It Is to Be Efficient
the funeral home must he really home-like,
for if the cheery, comfortable atmosphere
of the private residence is absent, then the
funeral home cannot serve its purpose
completely.
It is for this reason that we have taken
great care to make our funeral home a place
where all who call upon us will feel instantly
at home and at ease.
