LAKE JTTNALUSK, N. C„ Aug.
31.—A man can be an evolution
ist and a Christian both, if he is
not very much of either, but if
he is deeply convinced of one he
cannot accept the other, for they
cannot be reconciled under logical
analysis, Dr. Thurston 1?. Price,
general evangelist of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, South declared
in a sermon prepared for delivery
here today at the Bible and Evan
gelistic Conference.
“Just as the old anvil wears out
every hammer the blacksmith buys
so will the word of God, the ‘Rock
of Ages,’ remain just as solid as
ever when all these little knockers
have spent their force and moved
on to oblivion,’’ he asserted.
“The day of Robert Ingersol
and Tom Paine were palmy easy
day? for the church of God com
pared with today. For in those
days, we had the enemy of a real
Christian fighting out in the open,
marching under their own flag,

MANY HAZARDOUS STUNTS
IN ‘THREE JUMPS AHEAD.’

Ahead,” his latest picture, which
will be shown at the Rylander the-
I atcr on Saturday, shares hoonrs
I with “Tony,” the remarkable horse
i who has become known to motion
I picture fans everywhere. The pic-
I ture is a fast moving tale with
I plenty of thrilling stunts and an
; interesting love story.
I The story deals with the activi
ties of a band of cattle rustlers of
I the old West and their subsequent
'defeat at the hands of the Texas
rangers. The rustlers capture Mix
and take him to their secret cave
which has its entrance beneath, a
waterfall. In order to enter the
cave the men ride through the wat
er and thus come to a rock walled
fortress. Mix escapes from the
rustlers’ stronghold and recues the
i father of the girl he loves. Then
he leifds the rangers in pursuit of
, the bandits.

R. F. Wheeless, of Moultrie.
Handsome bathing suits were
won as first, second and third
prizes, and were awarded to Con
yers, first; Davis, second and Holli
day, third. The stunts performed
by the contestants showed their
remarkable ability in the water and
furnished enjoyable entertainment
to the Rotarians present.
The' Rotarians gathered in the
lobby of the Windsor at 6 for a
sing until the doors of the dining
room opened at 6:30.
John Sheffield, president of the
local club, presided. Solos by Miss
Melva Clark and readings by Miss
Susan Stallings, songs and short
impromptu speches kept things
moving until 8.
W. T. Anderson spoke for the
Macon'.club. H'e preceded his talk
on the principles of Rotary by
declaring that there “are Ku Klux
members on Rotary.” The declara
tion was received with what seem
ed to be unanimous approval. “Ro
tary does not counternance any
thing that is concealed,” declar
icd Mr. Anderson. Mr. Anderson
i said, that man had passed through
|an era of selfishness, the cave-man
period; then an ear of the drama
and on down to the era of Rotary
which is an era of unselfishness;
that Rotary was attempting to lead
in a practical way toward a better
day.
Roland Brooks, speaking for Al

be defined, that it possessed the
fragrance of the rose and the beau
ty of the lily, that it is an effort
to give physical expression to a
practical religion of service; Abra
ham, Florence Nightengale and
Woodrow Wilson practiced the
principles of Rotary in their ef
forts for mankind. “Rotary is re
ligion in everyday clothes,” he con
cluded.
Dwight Walpool, of Moultrie,
spoke of the neighborliness of Ro
tary and its friendships. “To have
a friend you must be one,” he said.

Charlie Tillman of Quitman, said

SARATOGA SPRINGS, Aug. 31.
After a three-day lay off. Jack
Dempsey slipped back into his train
ing grind Thursday with indications
that he will continue work without
further interruption until he fin
ishes his conditioning to meet !• irpo.
“I will keep right on training un
til possibly two days before the
fight,” Dempsey said. “I may take'
I it a bit easier near the finish but
for the- next ten days I intend to go
at top speed. My sparring staff will
be strengthened and I will be able
to get in plenty of hard work.”
Judging from Dempsey's conver
sation the heavyweight champion ex
pects to get some valuable inform

punching ability from JackMcAu

was knocked out in three rounds by
the Argentinian. McAuliffe reported
