We have just found out that there is a wonderful rich gold mine in Row an county, 93 acres of land and plen ty of water and timber for mining purposes. A rich vein of golden the bottom of the shaft that assayed five hundred dollars to the ton. The man that had it leased 'it and did the pros pecting was satisfied with it and was preparing to pay for it and go to work right and he got sick and died is the reason it was never worked any more. The shaft is 35 feet deep. It would take about $l5O or S2OO to clean out the old shaft ready to tak ing out the rich gold ore. You can see the little nuggets of pure gold in the ore as it lays on the ground with out any glasses, when it comes up from the mme. Who can beat that? Venus will show it to you. G. W. Gant, of Wadesboro, is vis iting his father. F. P. Gant, here. One pretty young lady in Salisbury broke her sole and went to Mr. Weant and he fixed it as good as ever while she waited.

Now they have switched to baseball. The odds are about 7 to 1 in favor of Pittsburgh, but the writer is in favor of New York. We know that a team that can finish up the season with an average of over 700 can surely beat down the Pirajes who finished with an average of n little better than 600. It won’t be long until we know who will be the champions for 1927. Here’s hoping the Yankees win the series. Well, I suppose that is about all that is of interest around our school.

Dunn, of Charlotte, Named Moderator at the Night Session. —Sermon Delivered by Moderator. COMMUNION 7 IS OBSERVED TODAY Memorial Follow Service During Morning Session —New Moderator Makes Public His Committees. By REV. J. G. GARTH R. A. Dunn, president of the Com mercial National Bank, of Charlotte and an elder in the First Presbyterian Church there, was elected moderator of the North Carolina Presbyterian Synod at the opening session of the 114th annual meeting here Tuesday night. The election was by acclamation and followed the sermon by the retir ing moderator, Rev. A. R. McQueen, of Dunn. The election of the mod erator was the only active business of the opening session. Mr. McQueen’s theme was “The Certainty of the Victory of the Gos pel,” and he was heard by an audi ence that taxed the capacity of the Church auditorium. Preceding the opening session, im portant committees had been in long conferences, preparing their reports to present to the synod. Dr. E. E. Gillespie, of Greensboro, superintend ent of home missions, wi.l report the best year's work of home missions with $62,494 collected, which includes $2,000 more than has ever been raised by the churches themselves. Dr. J. H. Henderlite, of Gastonia, chairman of the stewardship commit tee, said that his committee would ask the churches to raise a total of $824,000 for benevolence next year, as signing 55 per cent, to the general assembly’s causes, and 45 per cent, to synodical and rresbyterial causes. He also said they would recommend a budget of SB,OOO for the work of the stewardship committee, which is 20 per cent, reduction of this committee s budget. "f Dr. Henderlite* also reported that J. B. Spillman, of Charlotte, the sec retary of the committee and its only paid officer, would be renominated by the committee. He added that Mr. Spillman had volunteered to cut his own salary 20 per cent. It is likely that the report of the stewardship committee will again be the storm center of the synod. There is an overture from Wilmington Pres bytery asking the synod to consoli date the two functions of stewardship and home missions in a single office, which would change the present plan of the stewardship office at Chanotte. At the synod last year. Concord Presbytery gave notice that it would discontinue its support of the stew ardship office, and members of this Presbytery state that there has been no change of attitude on this ques tion. These things make the dispo sition of the stewardship report very problematical. Delegates f)egan arriving in Con cord Tuesday morning and the number increased -during the afternoon and evening. They are guests of Concord citizens who have opened their hearts and homes to make the meeting an event of pleasure and benefit. A vast majority of the delegates arrived in their automobiles which were parked on both sides of North Union street from the Y. M. C. A. to Franklin Avenue during the opening session Tuesday night. During the afternoon the early ar rivals visited the Church to register and while there made an inspection tour over the handsome structure. They found the quarter of a million dollars House of Worship one of the most magnificent and complete in the State. Various assembly rooms in the Sun day School annex were used during the day and night for committee meet ings and will be used for similar work during the remainder of the session. The large annex provides sufficient quarters for all of the various com mittees which will present reports during the week. Every seat rn the Church auditori um was occupied when Mr. McQueen delivered his sermon Tuesday evening. Many Concord persons were in the vast aesemb'age and all denominations in the city were represented. Since people of other denominations are hav ing the pleasure of entertaining the delegates they feel a personal interest in the work of the synod. The Presbyterian Standard in this week’s issue carries a full story of this church in which the early annals are preserved by the pen of Mrs.' R. S. Harris, the aged and saintly mother of the editor of the Charlotte Ob server, Col. Wade Harris. The rec ords run from ISO 4 to the present time. The pastor of the church is Dr. Jesse C. Rowan, and under his leadership the church has erected thio monument to the glory of God and the industry and sacrifice es the mem bers of the church. Yesterday’s Morning B«s®ion. The devotional exercises of synod were led by Rev. J. E. Guthrie of Thyatira church. Dr. W. L. Lingle, of Assembly’s Training school, Rich mond, Va., led in prayer. The mod erator. Mr. R. A.

McLeod, read the communications. Over tures were received from several Pres byteries. One from King's mountain Presbytery asked for financial support of a special work among the 2,000 deaf nautes of this state. Rev. A. C. Miller, of Shelby, himself a mute, is doing this work. Winston-Salem presbytery urges that the ministers hold one annual meeting, or confer ence with all their elders and deacons for the purpose of studying the stan dards of the Presbyterian church, the bonk of church order, the catechisms, and tb A confession of faith. All werrf also nrged to procure a copy of the revised book of church order recently issued. Concord presbytery is asking synod, to request all churches to assign one Sabbath each year for a special offer ing for the Barium Springs Orphanage, with its 360 children. The support of this institution is far below its need*. Albemarle presbytery requests that the synod adopt the ratio of 50-50 for the church benevolence to Assembly’s causes, and the local causes of the synod and prebytery. The ratio now is 60-40. The Stewardship com mittee is recommending the ratio of 55-45. / Wilmington presbytery overtures synod to combine the offices of synod Home Missions and Stewardship under one head. Mecklenburg presbytery is asking a subsidy for the Presbyterian Standard, the synod’s organ pub lished at Charlotte, and now is 70 years old, having been in publication since 1858. Dr. J. R. Bridges is the veteran editor of this journal, and everywhere admired for his spicy and vigorous orthodox editorials. Rev. J. G. Garth is associated with Dr. Bridges and acta as news editor of the paper. The paper runs short every year about $4,000, the presbytery is asking for help only for the current year. Rev. R. A. McLeod, who acta as treasurer as well as stated clerk of of synod reported that he had received about $2,000 from the Preebyteries in assessments, and after meeting ex penses of synod had a balance of SI7BB, some being on time deposit in the bank. Dr. W. H. Frazier, president of Queen's College, Charlotte, made a report as chairman of a special com mittee to publish synod study book on Home Missions. He said that 3000 copies of the book, entitled “If Ye Know These Things,” were printed by the Presbyterian Standard Publishing Co. of Charlotte, and that all but 222 were in circulation. He said,that 477 had been sent out on approval among the women of the auxiliaries which had not been reported on. The balance due for the boks is about $250, which will be covered by the sale of these 207 cloth bound copies at SI.OO each, the 15 paperbound at 50 cents each and the returns from those out on ap proval, and that probably the synod would have a balance left in the treasury. Dr. A. P. Gilmour offered a resolu tion that synod appoint a committee of five to report at this meeting of synod as to the advisability of synod combining and correlating all. the ac tivities of the body in a committee of synod’s work, such as is now conduct ing the affairs of the General Assem bly.
