He is an expert ma chinist and commands a good salary. They do say tiiat Lewis Morrison makes so terrible a devil that some of the old-fashioned preachers advise their hearers to go and see him, and get a fore knowledge of what Is In store for the unregenerate. Th k N kws has received a copy of the Philadelphia Press, aud recog nises a two column article on the "linemen and the wires," from the pen of Mr. W. E. Christian, formerly of the Charlotte Democrat . We are glad to know that Mr. , MR. DAVIS DELIGHTED. How an Advertisement in "The flews" BTonght Surprising BesultsHe was Afraid it Wouldn't Work, but it As tonished Him The Results of a "Test Advertisement" in One 8ingle Paper. Mr. W. J. Davis, of the Racket Store, was all smiles yesterday. He had arranged for a big sale of Bat teens, but had been so busy Saturday that he neglected to get the adver tisement in any paper but The News. He was afraid that would not do, but yesterday he couldn't say enough for The News. "I never had anything like it," he said to a News reporter. "My ad vertisement went in The News in this shape: 'On Monday wo shall offer our entire line of 8 1-3 cent Bat teens at 5 cents per yard. It is an unequalled offering, and cannot last long. About 12,000 yards in the en tire line."' "Well, sir," continued Mr. Davis, "I was astonished. That advertise ment did not appear in any paper except The News, yet up to 12 o'clock Monday I had sold 6,000 yards of that satteen, and my store was crowded with people still buy ing. "You can put Thk News down as a success as an advertising medium, and tell the business men that I say so. I never saw anything like it That test advertisement Saturday satisfied me. "You may be sure that the next special sale I arrange for will be laid before the readers of Thk News again." This unsolicited testimony of Mr. Davis is a pointer for advertisers. It sustains the claim we have always made, that The News is the best and! cheapest daily advertising medium in Charlotte. A Great Spectacular Show, The performance of "Faust" at the Charlotte opera house on Thursday night will be the last and the great est operatic event of the season. Those of our people who want to see a magnificent and highly thrilling spectacular show, should not miss it. Few opportunities of this kind are ever presented to them. One scene is described by the North American as follows: "The masterpiece of sen Ic CHARLOTTE'S 00TT0U. A Big Shortage Reported to Date, Com pared with the Short Receipts of Last Year A Lot of Cotton Yet Unsold. Yesterday not a single bale of cot ton was sold in Charlotte. Today only three bales were brought in by wagon. This Is about the winding up of the cotton season, and a News reporter applied to weigher Withers for some figures that would show how the receipts this year compared with the receipts of last year. It did not take Mr. Withers five min utes to give the desired information. Turning to his books, he found that the receipts from September 1888 to April l, 1889, were 21,188 bales. The receipts from September, 1880, to April 1890 amount to 17,330, showing a shortage in receipts thi season over last of 3,858 bales. There is no doubt of the fact that a good deal of cotton is yet held back, but not enough to make up, when it is all in, for the deficiency. This year's receipts in Charlotte will fall among the shortest of all yearly re ceipts yet on record. There has been no complaint whatever against the Charlotte market Indeed there have been no erounda for complaint The Alliance buyer has done a big busi ness and has always given as much as the market could justify. The same is to be said of all the"bther buyers. Day after day, Charlotte's buyers paid even with New York quotations. The cotton crop was short, that's all there is about it Church Services in Concord. Last Sundav the conjrreiration of the First Presbyterian church of Concord assembled with feelings of unusual interest and solemnity. It was communion Sunday and, since the last occasion of the kind, forty eight names had been added to the roll of membership. Thirty-one of these were children of the covenant, fruit of the late meeting conducted by Mr. Fife, It was an affecting sieht to see these vouusr people, at C - ar - - the invitation of jthe pastor, stand around the pulpit, publicly profess their faith and be received into the communion of the church. The sing ing was led by a full choir and a touch of beauty was given to the solemn aud interesting occasion by the presence of lovely flowers.
