CimTMENT OF ra« I
RESCHES 01 FEB CENT]
Movement of Southern Mills
Will Continue Through
September 1—
CHARLOTTE. N. CL. Aug. 10.—•‘Cur
tailment among hard yarn mills of the
South during the month of July has
amounted to at least 00 per cent." said
T. W. Crewe secretary of the southern j
Hard Ism Spinners' association, today,
when queried regarding the extent ot
the curtailment movement.
Continuing. Mr. Crews said:
“At least 50 per cent of the yarn
mills are curtailing today, and it is my
opinion that they will continue the cur
tailment movement on through Septem
ber I see no reason why they should
resume operations. The outlook is bad,
and there are few if any Indications
of immediate Improvement. With the
existing high prices ot raw cotton and |
the eorrespindlng low prices offered for I
manufactured goods. It would-be noth
ing short of business suicide to take,
up full time work at the present time, i
Hard yarn mills of the south will no
doubt continue to curtail sharply, and
In many cases plants will remain en
tirely dosed until the markets improve
materially
RECORD CURTAILMENT.
Not in the history of cotton milling
In the south has there been such ex
tensive curtailment of production
among yarn and’cloth mills as during
July and August.
The nig mills of South Carolina, or
a majority of them, are jusi closing
one of tne most extensive campaigns;
of curtailment ever undertaken.
The majority of mills In and around
Greenville. S. C., resumed operations
yesterday.
The Monaghan mill, of Greenville,
ch had been closed for two weeks,
went back to work yesterday.
Mills' mill, after a shut down of one
week, resumed work two weeks ago.
but will probably close for another
week the latter part or tnts month.
'the F. W. Poe Manufacturing com
pany, of Greenville, which has been
running on irregular time, began regu
lar work yesterday. It will close again
within a tew weeks, but the shut down
will be tor only a short period.
The Brandon and Carolina mills, of
Greenville, were cloeed for two weeks
during July, but are again running.
The Camperdown was shut down for
one week about the same time. It Is now
running.
The mills rft Piedmont. S. C., resumed
operations yesterday. The' majority of
mills around Spartanburg. 8. C.. also
resumed regular work yesterday, after
having shut down for two weeks re
cently.
FIVE MILLS START.
*' The five large mills of Charlotte,
known as the Chadwick-Hoskins mills,
representing about 100,000 spindles,
started regular work again yesterday,
after one week of idleness.
The Highland Park mills, which in
clude the company's mills in Charlotte,
the Anchor mills at* Huntersville, the
Cornelius cotton mill and Brown Man
ufacturing company, at Concord. N. C..
are running on full time, as they have
been all summer with the exception of
last week when a rest was given the op
eratives
Mr. C. W. Johnson, manager of these
mills, said yesterday: "Business is
good Outlook is bright."
The Elisabeth mill, of Charlotte, shut
down Saturday for two weeks, during
which time machinery will be cleaned
and a complete overhauling effected.
This mill will resume work on the 22d.
It will be seen from the above that
there has been no Iron-clad rule of cur
tailment. moot of the mills having cut
down work at the time best suiting
them. A sort of Individual policy has,
in fact, characterised the curtailment
movement from the very outset, some
mills, having orders on hapd being able
to run. while others could not keep up
full time work with poor demand and I
poorer prices.
Moot of the mills in the south, how- I
•ver, have cut down operations to a
greater or less extent, and will continue
to do so unless there is steady and sub
stantial Improvement.
Curtailment among yarn mills has
averaged al least sft per cent, and it has j
been heavy among cloth mills, although
not carried to the extent found necessa-
* ry hv yarn manufacturers.
There are those who look at the situa
tion In a more optimistic light than that
expressed by Mr. Crews, and these ex
press the view that with the accumula
tion of stocks removed there is bound
to be substantial improvement by fail.
They assert that already the conditions
are showing improvement, there having
been during the past ten days an in
crease In prices offered for both cloth
and yarns

AT INDIAN SPRING
JUT JETTE- Ga.. Aug. 10.—Elaborate
preparations are being made for the In
dian Spring Holiness camp meeting,
which will begin on Thursday night. Au

Spring eamp grounds were there last
year from all parts of the United States,
yet since each the camp ground as well
as .the famous Indian Spring, where
thousands go each year for the purpose
of drinking the water, which is said to
possess curative powers. It is expected
that the crowds which will gather at the

In the northeastern section of the city
not far from the Damascus gate is the
JUDGMENT HALL OF PILATE.;
This in all probability la the very hall in
which Jesus was tried before Pilate, as
related in Matthew 27:11-28. and corres
ponding passages in other gospels. The
place is now a Catholic convent, in which
ISO orphan girls are being educated. Un
der the convent there is shown what is
claimed to be a pnrt of the original Ro
man pavement of the Judgment hall, and
which might well be such. In a court
there Is also a pedestal, which is claimed
to be the very pedestal or bema, or
Judgment seat on which Pilate sat, or
more probably stood, while Christ was be
ing examined by him on his sixth trial.
This. too. gives evidence of genuineness.
Also there is an arch called the 'Ecca
Homo" arch, on which it is said Pilate
stood when he brought Jesus out to the
multitude and said “Ecce. home." "Be
hold. the man.'' What is called the Ecce
homo church has been erected at the
place-where the arqh runs. It was begun
Op years ago and finished 8* years ago.
A part of the original arch as is claim
ed is shown over the altar. On the altar
Is the Inscription: "Corona trlbuiatlones
affloruit In coronam glorlai”—"A crown of
tribulation flowers out Into a crown of
giorv.” Another inscription is the words
of the Savior on the cross. "Pater dl
mette 1111a. non enlm sciunt quia faciunt
“Father forgive them for they know not
what they do." Two pictures of the
emwn of thorns are very interesting. I
may take ocaeton to say here that T do
not by any means accept all the so-called
sacred sites shown at Jerusalem as gen
uine. as vou will see before, you get
through this article. I confess, though,
that I see no reason to doubt the authen
ticity of the pavement and pedestal and
probably the arch also. These are only a
few of the many places and sites which
may be accepted as genuine.
VIA DOLOROSA.
Leaving the Judgment hall of Pilate we
follow the so-called via dolorosa, or sad
way which Jesus is supposed to have
taken on his wav to the place of crucifix
ion. The wav is marked with tablets
showing the different stages of statlww
on the way to the cross. As T shall In
dicate later. I believe that Jesus went
oaiv a part of this way. But let us first
follow the traditional way.
1 The first stage Is the hall of Judg
ment. of which I have spoken. From this
hall was taken the seals sancta. or holy
stairway, which Jeaus walked on his way
to the cross Thlb vtairway la now in
the church of St. John Lateran at Rome.
Indulgence or freedom from I ,, pur '" t ° ry
offered for those who will climb the
stairway on their knees, so many years
for each step climbed. I saw people
climbing the stairs on their knees when
I was in Rome. It was while climbing
this stairwav that Luther heard a voice
saving to him. "The Just shall live by
faith " and rose from his knees to go out
and proclaim that truth until there re
suited the rre-t reformation which shook
Rome to ita very center.
2 The second station la at tpe .en
trance to the hall under the arch, where
it is bald the cross was laid upon Jesus.
3 The third station is where he sank
under the weight of the cross A hos
pice for pilgrims under the charge of
American monks is there. Near by is said
to be the house of Lazarus.
4 The house of Dives a little farther
on is the fourth station. This house was
built not earlier than the 15th century
as evidenced by its architecture.
5 Opposite the fourth station Is the
flfth where Simon of Cyrene relieved
Jeaus of the cross. A depression in the
wall is pointed out as the place where
the hand of Christ rested when he stead
ied himself. . . „ ,
8. A chapel of the United Greeks
marks the site of th residence and tomb
of St Veronica, who la said to have
wiped the perspiration from the brow
.if Jesus, and on whose handkerchief
his Image left a permanent impression.
The handkerchief is now in St. Peter's
cathedral at Rome.
7. The seventh station marks where
Christ fell a second time. A modern
chapel adjoins the hospice of St. John
at this station.
8. The Greek monastery of St. Caro
iombos marks the eighth station, where
Christ is said to have addressed the
woman who accompanied him.
9. A Coptic monastery marks the
ninth stage. The last flve are in the
Church of the Holy Sepulchre, marking
the places.
10. Where Jesus undressed to prepare
for the crucifixion.
11. Where he was nailed to the cross.
12. Where the cross was erected.
13. Where he was taken down from
the cross.
14. The tomb where he was laid. I
have given, you understand, the tradi
tional places. It is all very pretty. But
let me say that for my part, I do not
believe that a single one of these sta
tions Is authentic, except the starting
point at the judgment hall. It is impos
sible to identify any of these places,
and any effort to do so is worse than
useless. Nor do I believe that Jesus
even went along this way at all, except
the first 100 yards or so. After that,
as he came out into what is now Damas
cus street, instead of turning to the left
to go to the present Church of the Holy
Sepulchre, I think he turned to the right
—presuming the streets were then about
as they are now—to go outside th« Da
mascus gate to what I believe is the
true Calvary. We will see about that
directly, though. Let us first enter the
Church of the Holy Sepulchre,’ which
many millions of mankind believe is
the true site of the crucifixion and of
the tomb.
CHURCH OF THE HOLY SEPULCHRE
This lx located on Aera hill, in the <
northwestern portion of the city. About 1
125 A.D., a temple to Venu« wax erected :
here. In 325 A.D., Helena, the mother of i
Constantine, the first Christian emperor, |
came to Jerusalem, so tradition says,
In search of .the true cross. She had the i
workmen dig down at this place for !
them. She sat Lp a chair which Is shown ,
the visitor and watched them. After a
while they came to three crosses. In
order to determine which was the true
cross they carried one into the presence
of a sick woman. It was the cross of <
one of the thieves. The woman Immedl- |
ately became a raving maniac. The}-
brought another cross. It proved to be
the cross of the other thief. The wo
man was thrown Into spasms. When
they brought the third cross, she was
immediately restored. And thus the true
cross wss identified—at least, that is the
story. If you don't believe it, they show
you the place where the three crosses
were found. Helena at once set' about
to build a Christian church on the spot.
With the aid of her powerful son, the
Emperor Constantine, this was done.
The church was dedicated in 336 A.D.
The belief that this place was also the
site of Calvary was first asserted by
the Bordeaux pilgrims in 333 A.D. This
first church built by Constantine was
destroyed in 611 by the Persians. It
was soon after rebuilt through collec
tions taken from ail over the
Christian world, but it was again de
stroyed in 1010 by the mad caliph Ha
kem. ft was again rebuilt in 1040, and
was enlarged by the crusaders, who
occupied Jerusalem you remember for a
century. This church remained until
!>CB. when it was destroyed by fire. It
was rebuilt in 1810 at an expense of 33,-
000,000. one-third of which was needed for
law suits and for bribing Turkish offi
cials. This Is the church which Is now
standing. Or rather It is a succession of
churches, or series of connected shrines
and chapels, the Whole being 350x280 feet.

Within this narrow enclosure there are
over 30 so-called sacred sites. belonging
to different sect*, among whom there is
the intensest rivalry. To keep down strife
It is necessary to have Turkish soldiers
on guard all the time. They look
strangely out of place in a Christian
church, and especially in the Church of
the Holy Sepulchre, lounging around,
smoking their cigarettes and gazing at
Christian pilgrims with a half amused
smile. It made me almost feel like turn
ing Peter the Hermit and going forth
to preach another crusade. But their
presence seems necessary. There is novd
only one entrance to the church. An
other was closed up recently by Sultan
Abdul Hamid to prevent sftrlfe. It Is
well known that the question of the cus
tody of the keys of the church led to
the Crimean war. Among the sacred
places pointed out in the Church of the
Holy Sepulchre are the center of the
earth, the exact spot where the dust
was procured for the creation of Adam,
the actual grave of Adam, where you re
member Mark Twain wept profusely on
account of the death of his kinsman. It
is said that when the Lord was cruci
fied a drop of his blood fell on Adam's
skull and made it alive. Most of the
places in the church are connected with
the chapel of the Parted Raiment mark
the death of our Lord. Among these are
ing the site where his garments were
gambled for; the places where they
crowned him with (horns; and where
they scourged hlm;Vthese, thougW, were
In the praetorium or Judgment hall of
Pilate, as we are told very distinctly in
Matthew 27:27-31, John 19:1 and following;
the spot where they nailed him to the
cross; the rock where tne cross storffl,
with the cavity In which it rested; the
place where the Roman centurion stood
when he said: "This is the son of God";
the altar ot Stabot, where Mary th«
mother of Jesus stood, and where she re
ceived his body after it was taken from
the cross; the stone of unction, where
the body was annotated, which is de
voutly kissed by pilgrims, especially Rus
sian pilgrims, many of whom I saw
kissing it; the tomps of Joseph of Arljn
athea and of Nicodemus; the altar of the
penitent thief; the spots of the crosses
where the two thieves stood, etc., etc.,
almost an Infinitum. As I said, there are
about 30 chapels under the one roof of
the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Chief
among them are the Syrian chapel, where
they still use the Aramaic language; the
Abyssinian and Croptlc chapels; all of
these are small; the Roman Catholic
chapel. In this is said to be the post to
which Jesus was tied when scourged.
The post is covered up, but the visitor
is allowed to touch it with a stock
through a hole. In the Greek chapel,
every Easter eve the Holy Fire is sup
posed to come down. The fire is
brought ’down on a wire and is pushed
through a window, when every one within
reach straggles to light his torch by it.
and then hurries to carry the sacred
flame back home to churches and
friends. Os course it Is all a pious fraud
—so much of a fraud that since the 18th
century the Roman Catholics have re
fused to share in it, and it has since
then been perpetrated by the Greeks
alone. But there are many millions of
them who believe tn it and many thou
sands of them come every year to catch
the first sparks of the fire.
THE HOLY SEPULCHRE.
But the chief place of interest in the
Church of the Holy Sepulchre is the se
pulchre itself. This is in the center of
the church. It is entered through a vesti
bule 11 feet long by 10 feet wide, call
ed the Angels' chapel. The walls of this
chapel are very thick and are lined with
marble. In the outer chapel 15 lamps
are kept continually burning, of which
5 belong bo the Greek Catholics, 5 to
the Roman Catholics. 4 to the Armenians
and one to the Copts. The chapel of
the sepulchre itself is only 6 1-2 feet
long by 6 feet wide. Only 3 or 4 per
sons can go in at a time. From the
ceiling are suspended 43 lamps belonging
to the sous sects just named. The sur
face of the tomb is overlaid with mar
ble.
Personally, I do not believe that this
was the real tomb of our Lord. I think
it is in a different place, as I shall try
to show. But I confess I was deeply

moved to see the reverence paid to it. I
stood and saw pilgrims crawl on their
knees to it, prostrating themselves and
kissing the stones every foot of the way.
On two afternoons I saw a number of
Franciscan monks go in procession to
the tomb, as they do every afternoon, I
understand, chanting hymns, falling up
on their knees at frequent intervals,
swinging their censer and filling the room
with incense. One day 1 saw 700 Aus
trians march in a body Into the church
and to the tomb. And there they came—
Roman Catholics, Greek Catholics. Ar

ants, Russians, Austrians. Germans,
Italians, Irish, English, Americans, rep
resentatives of all the nations in the
Christian world, which means in the
civilized world, making pilgrimages to
the tomb and falling down reverently
before it. Why? Whose tomb? That
of a crucified Jew? Yes. but far more,
that of the Son of God, the Saviour of
mankind, the Redeemer of the world.
That is why he is so honored. . Hear
Paul: "Let this mind be in you. which
was also in phfist Jesus; Who, being
in the form of God, though it not rob
bery to be equal with God; but made
himself of no reputation, and took upon
him the fortn of a servant, and was
made in the likeness of men; and being
found tn fashion as a man, he humbled
himself, and bebame obedient unto
death, even the death of the cross.
Wherefore God also hath highly exalt
ed him. and given him a name which
is above every name; that at the name
of Jesus every knee should bow, of
things in heaven, and things in earth,
and things under earth; and that
every topgiie 'sho6l4 .(jonCftis .that Jesus
Christ is Lord, to the glory' of God the
Father?* (Phil. 2:5-11) The reason why
he is so exalted Is because he so hum
bled himself. "He that humbleth him
self shall be exalted," and the more
he humbles himself the more he shall
be exalted. No One ever stooped so
low as Christ, and so no one has ever
risen so high as he. His is Indeed "the
name above every name."
T am a Baptist- There are. many
things In which I differ doctrinally from
Roman Catholics and members of other
denominations. But I confess that as I
saw these Russian pilgrims, those Fran
ciscan monks, these Austrian Catholics
and others manifesting such reverence
for the tomb of my Master, I felt like
going to them and putting my arm
around them and saying, "Brother, do
you love Jesus that way? Well, I am
glad to see that you do. I love him, too.
And I love yoU for his sake."

BAILEYIFcbBROToF
TEXAS DEMOCRACY
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
! GALVESTON, Tex., Aug. 10.—The
Democratic state convention that ad
journed last night will reassemble this
afternoon and will probably adjourn
late today. «
The platform agreed upon will prob
! ably be adopted. It will, on state is
sues, follow the campaign platform
and expressions of the nominee for
governor, O. B- Colquitt.
' On national affairs, the platform will
be in perfect harmony with the ideas
of Senator Bailey, whose friends and
supporters completely dominate the
convention.
The platform is a practical reaffirm
ation of the Texas Democratic platform
of 1896, declaring against the policy
of admitting raw materials free of duty
so long as there is a protective tax
on the manufactured products. It is
the same platform on which Senator
J Culberson was nominated 18 years ago
' and upon watch he will be nominated
J again today for the fourth term. The
; policies are the same as Senator Bal
, ley,, championed and W. J. Bryan at-
■ tacked In a series ot speeches in Texas
; last year.
■ The convention Is so well organized
by the dominating forces that any op-
| position to the platform agreed upon
will not assume formidable proportions.
The prohibition plank in the platform
follows:
"In obedience to the instructions given
in the Democratic primary July 23, 1910,
we call upon the 32d legislature of Texas
to submit to the people for rejection or
I approval the constitutional amendment
I prohibiting the manufacture of intoxicat
ing n quors in this state, l)Ut we declare
that the vote upon such an amendment
I shall not be the test of Democracy.”

THE VERY TIME
When Powerful Food Is Most
Needed
The need of delicate yet nutritious
food is never felt so keenly as when a
convalescent gets a set back on account
of weak stomach. Then is when Grape-
Nuts shows its power, for it is the most
scientific and easily digested food in
the world.
"About a year ago,” says a Kansas
woman, “my little 6-year-old niece,
Helen, left the Invigorating and buoyant
air of Kansas, where all her life she had
enjoyed fairly good health, to live in the
more quiet atmosphere of Ohio. She
had a complete change of diet consist
ing of a variety of food, and of course
a change of water, somehow she eventu
ally contracted typhoid fever.
"After a long siege her case seemed
hopeless, doctors give her up. and she
was nothing but skin and bones, couldn't
eat anything and for weeks did not know
even her father or mother. Her parents,
wishing to get something delicate and
nourishing, finally hit upon Grape-Nuts
food for her and it turned out to be just
the thing.
"She seemed to relish it. was soon
conscious, of her surroundings and be
gan to gain health and strengtli so rap
idly that in a short time she was well,
playful and robust as if she had never
been ill.
"We all feel that Grape-Nuts was the
predominating factor in saving the
sweet little girl's life.”
Read the little book, “The Road to
Wellville.” In pkgs. “Theres a Reason.”
Ever read the above letter?
A new one appears from time
to time. They are genuine,
true, and full of human inter
est.
The Tenderfoot Farmer
I* wgs one these experimental farmers, who put green
spectacles on his cow and fed her shavings. His theory
yraM 1 was t * iat didn’t matter what the cow ate so long as she
was The questions of digestion and nourishment had
not entered into his calculations.
It’s only a “tenderfoot” farmer that would try such
w an experiment with a cow. But mapy a farmer feeds him’
self regardless of digestion and nutrition. He might almost as well eat shav*
ings for all the good he gets out of his food. The result is that the stomach
grows “weak” the action of the organs of digestion and nutrition are impaired
and the man suffers the miseries of dyspepsia and the agonies of nervousness.
To strengthen the stomach, restore the activity of the or
iians of digestion and nutrition and brace up the nerves,
use Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It is an un
failing remedy, and has the confidence of physicians as
well as the praise of thousands healed by its use.
In the strictest sense “Golden Medical Discovery” is a temperance medi«
eine. It contains neither intoxicants nor narcotics, and is as free from alcohol
as from opium, cocaine and other dangerous drugs. All ingredients printed on
its outside wrapper.
Don’t let a dealer delude you for his own profit. There is no medicine for
stomach, liver and blood “just as good” as “Golden Medical Discovery.”
