Pickpockets Active in Rowan. Salisbury Post, 2nd. Pickpockets got in some clever work at the Southern passenger sta tion .Saturday, relieveing among oth ers who reported to the officers, a min ister of all his money. Mr. Lee Owens, of Salisbury, was the first victim to lodge a complaint. He had ben touched for. $4.20 but had no idea who turned the trick. A lit tle later Rev. Mr. Triece, of Guilford, discovered that his purse, containing .$28 was gone. The officers had no clue to work on and the light-fingered citizens got out without difficulty. It is said that several other parties who did not make a complaint to the officers were also touched. Esson Granite Company Sold for Forty Thousand. Under a bid of $40,000, Clferles J.

Va, relatives made a search of his shanty and d)s- enVered fl.lSl in silver coin wrapped - in a sheepskin sack and concealed nn- - der the floor.

Shenk until recently pas tor of St. James Lutheran church here, has accepted a call to the pas torate of the First Lutheran church at Greensboro. Several months ago the council of St. James Lutheran church gave Mr. Sheivk a leave of absence of six months, on account of the condition of his health, and he moved his family to Misenheimer Springs. About two weeks ago he formally tendered his resignation, which was reluctantly ac cepted. The Lutherans at Greensboro are just starting the work of that denom ination there. They have purchased a lot, but have not yet begun the erec tion of a church building. It is a mis sion work under the direction of the United Synod. Mr. Shenk is a worker, and no better man could be found, if his health will permit, to put in charge of this work. Mr. Shenk has been pastor of St. James Lutheran church for five and one-half years, and had been a most acceptable pastor. Both he and tbe members of his family were very pop ular in Concord, and their popularity was deserved. Rev. S. W. Kuhns. of Salisbury, who has ben supplying the church during Mr. Shenk 's absence, will con tinue the work until a successor to Mr. Shenk is selected. Entered for the 1911 Medal. Charlotte Chronicle. Listen to this plaint from Our- Home; "And now The Chronicle has founded a "North Carolina Press As sociation mendacity medal,' or, in other words, it' proposes to give a medal, to be awarded at the annual meeting of the press asociationand this medal is to go to the editor who tells the biggest lie, we suppose in any issue from one meeting to the next. But we don't believe The Chron icle is acting just right In this mat ter, for, like the goat, it has already voted on the a war J for 1910 and pro poses for it to go to EditoiStJobn B. Sherrill, of the Concord Times, with out giving anybody else a chance whatever. This is a free country and we believe in letting everybody have a fair showing." Just be a little bit patient, Brother Huggins. You are entered for the 1911 race and the Chronicle will see that you have a square deal. The Teacher's Assembly. The next annual session of the North Carolina Teachers' Assembly will be held in Asheville, June 14-17.

The board of county commissioners held their regular monthly meeting Monday. There were no matters of special importance presented to the board and the usual number of bills were presented and ordered paid by them. The following are a few of the orders made by the board : Pay J. D. Sides $10.75 for guarding smalpox patients quarantined at Brown Mill. Pay H. S. Williams $34.10 expenses incurred in appeal to the Supreme Court in Alice Bost case. Pay Dr. J. W. Wallace. $104.25 for medical service in smallpox cases. Pay H. W. Caldwell $.500 for inves tigating death of the infant of Dora Pharr Pay J.. M. Barrage $820.48 chain gang expenses for April. Pay J. W. Wallace $14.50 for med ical services for the county. Pay Missouri City Mercantile Co., $37.17 for supplies for smallpox cases under quarantine at Brown Mill.

Crane, secretary of the joint congressional immigration com mission's report on Canadian immi gration, which has already been sent to congress, will be printed within a few days. Advance sheets of the re port shows that during 1909 approxi mately 60,000 Americans immigrated to Canada. There came from the bor der States. The great majority of them left the United States to take up farming lands in Canada, which are offered under very favorable terms to settlers by the dominion govern ment, and various Canadian land andj railway' companies. Immigration from Canada into the United States during the same yeai was approximately 53,000 so the bal ance in favor of Canadian population was not so large as has been sup posed. Immigrants of both countries, according to information gathered by the joint congressional immigra tion commission, was of the best class, being mostly farmers. Secretary of Agriculture James W. Wilson, -who has been taking great interest in the subject of immigration of Amercian farmers to Canada, be lieves that something should be done to induce American farmers along the Canadian border to remain in the United States. This, however, does not seem possible, owing to the fact that on the American side there is no more government land which can be entered, while the liberal Canadiaii public land laws, and the virgin soil of the farming provinces of Canada, offer alluring inducements to Ameri can agriculturists. Kings' Mountain Herald Changes Hands. Mr. Claude A. Eury, until yester day publisher of the King's Mountain Herald, spent an hour in the city last night on business with the editor- of this paper.
