H. H. AUI.I., Hotrok. We call attention to an article from the Charlotte Observer in which the editor quotes from a sermon delivered by Rev. Dr. L. M. Zimmerman. pastor of Christ Lutheran Church in Baltimore. The subject was "Our Inheritance." The church should be the refuge for the weary and those who labor and are tired, and it should be a plac-! where people are happy and cheerful. and where a word of welcome and a hearty grasp of the hand awaits the stranger and yet it is too often just the opposite, so few to give a kind word. The Elks had visited Baltimore just the week before the sermon was deliv ered, and in the course of his sermon Dr. Zimmerman said that many f his hearers may have jotted down things against the Elks, especially the chronic kicker and the man who can look at the faults rather than the virtues of men, for the world sees the Elks "only in the rough exterior the burr and not sweet kernel, the kind heart and spirit of benevolence and charity. Not a few of God's people might lea n from them the power of a smile and the uplift ing influence of good fellowship and good will. The kindly spirit of "Hlello Bill" might work well in some church-s where there is a superabundance (if cold formality aml unfriendli-ness, where members of th,. tmlh chunrh pa-s each other without speaking and whe? thI stranger must wait and4 hunt for a seat." This was a high complill-mnt fr.-Im a high source and a les.-on miight learned from Ihis quotation frorn thi preacher by. members of other cogr gations thAn his own.

For instance, a sack of "Clifton" flou may cost you a little more than other so-called patent flours, but it will be cheaper toyou in the end. Why? Be cause it will1 not only make more bread to the sack, but will take less lard and soda to make It. Order a sagk of "Clif ton" and make a test for yourself. It wvill prove the truth of this statement. T. J. H AY8. JUSTUIBLE HOMICIDE. That is the Pading of the Coroner's Jury in the Kiint of Raymond sizer by Clarence Brooks. On Saturdaynight at Vaughnville Mr. Clarence M. Brooks the son of M r. C. A. Brooks killed a negro by the name of Raymond Sizer. An inquest w ,.as held on Sunday an-l the jury says the killing was done in self defense. That is the story briefly told. Mr. Clarence Brooks is only seventeen years old. IlIe had retired for the night in the store of his father where he and his brother slept. The negro aroused him to make some purchases. As the negro started out the door he made an insulting re mark to Mr. Clarence Brooks and then made at him with a large iron weight and Mr. Brooks fired with the result stated, the bullet going through his heart. Only three witnesses were sworn at the inquest and their testi mnony is given. The inquest was held by Magistrate J. W. Ropp at the written request of Mr. C. A. Brooks and Mr. B. W. Good win. The verdict of the jury is: "That the said Raymond Sizer came to his death from a gun shot wor.nd inflicted by the hands of Clarence M. Brooks acting in self defense.-or to protect his life." The jury was composed of J. R. Scurry, M. 1). Smith, Hi. B. Lindsay. Jno. B. Seurry. T. R. Workman, M. J. Long 4hore. M. L. Connelly. S M. Johnson, P'. S. Boazman. W. J. Sullivan, Henry Workman, J. J. Amick. A warrant was issued for Mr. Brooks ANd he immediately gave bond in the -um of t wo hundred dollars for his ap pearanee at the sessions court to an swer the charge of murder "if so ieemed necessary by the solicitor.'' The following is the testimony of the three witnesses sworn at the inquest: Clarence M. Brooks. sworn, says: Live at Vaughanville, Newxrry Coun ty.

He came in and Walter got up and waited on him, when he got ready. t,j go he said, G --d d -1m, Clarernc ir s wants me to call him Mr. Br. .:. bat I will not do it." Then I said to him he had better get out of the stor-. I cane on up to the d<nr and told im to get on out. Then he said, -You (;-d d--n son of a b-- h, you must be a fool" and I struck him vith a pistol on the side of his left face. Then he came %,ver with a weight, I don't know when he picked it up. I told hirn he had bet ter stop, he then made an->ther step. My pistol fired. I shot him. He turned %nd went out and droppced the weight. He had it drawn ,ack in his right hand this way (demonstrating. I shot him eause I thought he w going to kill ne with the weight.. I am seventeen yearsI old1, weigh a ndrted and thirty-fiv'e rounds.

The store is about, seventy-five or aI hundred feet from my dwelling. I found the negro lying on the steps when I got out here, where it is now and my sons in the store. The night was eles: and nobody else was here, of if there was I could not see them. TIhe boys are accustomedI to sleeping in the store all the time when they are at home. Clar enee travels most of the time. C. A. Brooks. I(EJ"IsKI To nets'IIVK nloIy. A strange incident in connection with this homicide is, that while the negroes made no demonstration, or gave any evidence of disapproval of the killing they positively refused to have anything to do with the body. There wvas a negro meeting in progress within a short dis tance of the store, and It seems the leaders of the meeting gave Instructions so positive thateven the step-fatherand mother of the dead negro refused to have anything to do with the body. It must have been In obedience to such Instrue tions for the grave had already been dug and the coffin purchased bur the wagon was turned around at the church. The mother of the boy came up to the store after the shooting and some time before the inquest. Why this proceed ing was taken by the relatives of th< dead negro is not known. The follow. ing white men who were present impro vised a box and buried the body in the woods near by: J. W. Ropp, L. 11. Senn, J. B. Boazman, E. C. Salter, A. L. I)ominick, P. N. Bcozer, J. D.
