spoken wordu the speaker told how tp

most effective ways of preparation for
the Sunday School work as teacher is
the teachers' ' meeting. ' Teachers
should meet and discuss questions

School and the lesson to be tausrht.
MrMorgan then spoke of the duty of
parents to children in connection with
the Sunday School, and the kind of
literature we should use.. The speaker

God.

Concord Tribune.
Our neighbor, The Times, has this to
say of a piece of Cabarrus road:
"The road from the end of the
macadam beyond the Buffalo creek
bridge to Poplar Tent is undoubtedly
the worst in the county. It is a dis
grace . to a progressive county like
Cabarrus, j It ia full of holes and rocks,
and looks as if It bad not been, worked
or had attention for two years' ,
Now, when we get down to the' bot
tom of the business, though there is
not much bottom in January, a great
portion of the Cabarrus roads might be
termed disgraceful. There is only one
.thing to do and that ia to build them
thoroughly and well, so that they will
last for all time. ' To do this costs
money, and the sooner we make up
our minds to get the money and build
good roads the better it will be for the
county. To keep up we : must have
good roads without these disgraceful
spots.
War on Tbe Bncaet-snops Declared
By Judge Neat.
Charlotte, N. C, Aug. 17. In his

He charged the jury that it was a

future delivery on margins, corn, cot
ton wheat or other food or agricultural
products, that the law made it illegal to
operate so called bucket shops, and
those who were in charge of Buch
as well as those who buy or sell therein
were guilty under the law.'1 ' '
He informed the grand jury that
such establishments were being oper
ated in Charlotte and that a number of
people were dealing, according ; to the
information that had come to him. 1
Judge Neal called upon the jury to
make a searching investigation. 1

Attempted Ta Wreck Train.
Charlotte Chronicle.
Last night two dastardly attempts
were made to wreck No. 38, one of the
Southern's restibuled trains, just out
side the city limits of Charlotte. A
switch near the mill being erected by
the Highland Fark 'Manufacturing
Company was the scene chosen for the
awful work of destruction. The lock
was broken and the switch opened, af
ter which the light was extinguished.
; But for the timely discovery, a terri
ble wreck with an appalling loss of life,
might have occurred. No. 88, which
runs;, on a fast schedule, is usually
making good speed by the time it
reaches that spot, and it would have
been almost a miracle if a serious
wreck could have been averted.
