The attendance and interest sympathy for those whom
it continuing to grow in the
revival services at the North
Side Baptist church. Evangelist
Pennell brought a great mes-
sage last night to a large and
appreciative audience
message was the second of s
aeries of three sermons on the
parable of the Prodigal Son,
fbund in the fifteenth ehapUr
of Luke. The subject of hi*
message Monday night was:
'The Trip into tho Far Coun-
try.’* Last night bis subject
was: "The Hardships «f the
Far Country.” Tonight his
subject will be: “The Return
of the Prodigal, Repenting."
In his message last night he
give a vivid description of
the far country whore the pro-
digal had Journeyed. Re
described the citisenship of thU
country end with telling ef-
fect pointed out the rins and
evils of thi* world. He stated
that the king of this world was
a cruel tyrant without love or
had deceived, and that he re-
fused to pay the expenses of
the finished product of a sinful
life. Good Christian men and
women must pay taxes to feed
and clothe those that satin has
His'ruined, the Evangelist said.
Wednesday morning the
Evangelist preached on the
subject: "Christ’s Call to
Higher Levels.” His text waa
found in Col. 8:1-2. His mes-
sages at the morning hour
have been largely to Christans,
endeavoring to meet the pres-
ent day need of God’* people.
The crowds have been increas-
ing from day to day at the
morning hour and we predict
before the end of the week the
house will be filled at the
morning services.
The evening services are held
in open air and a cooler, mere
comfortable place cannot be
found in Timpson. The public
is cordially invited to attend
ail these services.

State Auditor Lynn ChaUengnO
Statement That' Shortage
Austin, July 13.--Statement!
from the State Highway fund,
whlph was supplemented by
additional appropriations
made by the Second Called
Session. At tbe end erf the
year 1831 practically all of
the special funds appropriated
for this audit had been ex-
pended. At that time many
very important special investi-
gations already begun were
far from complete. For this
gubernatorial candidate reason the work has been ear-
that the repoh of an audit of ried on since the first of this
the State Highway Depart- year by the auditora paid out
ment is being suppressed, and of tbe regular appropriations
that a shortage of $100,008,
000 exists in the highway de-
partment funds, were chal-
lenged by State Auditor Moore
Lynn this week. State Audi-
tor Lynn said:
The statements being made
on behalf of one of the candi-
dates for Governor to the effect
that the audit of the Highway
Department has been suppress-
ed and that there is a shortage
of one hundred million dol-
lars in the Highway funds are
too utterly ridiculous to be
for the State Auditor’s office.
In view of the many other
audits and investigations con-
tinually being carried on by
our office, the work of com-
pleting the aadit of the High-
way Department waa slowed
down to a great extent after
the special appropriations were
expended.

audit when completed will be
filed with the proper officials
and the Legislature in the
form of a printed report con-
volume of operations of the
Highway Department, the
number of irregularities has
been comparatively small.
The affairs of the Depart-
ment as a whole were found to
have been managed to an effi-
cient manner, but as would
probably bo true in the case of
any butlnea* of equal sine,
many criticisms are offend and

seek to retain in a special pri-

15 counties comprising the dis-
trict, but Judge L W. Lawhon,

free are limited Childhood ia one of thoee
periods, and rightfully so, ... an inheritance
