' ' Plans are all completed for a great day's work by the canvassers for the united war work campaign today, and the meeting of the workers at head quarters at the Central hotel this aft ernoon at 5 o'clock will be In the na ture of a Jollification gathering, to make merry over the fact that Char-1 lotto and Mecklenburg went well over the sum allotted In the' nationwide drive for 170,600.000. ' Disturbing rep'orta from national headquarters yesterday did hot affect the Charlotte workers. They had Al ready achieved the amount neces sary to meet tbeif. quota in this city, and were waiting' with impatience to be' In the field again this morning to send the total" still higher. During the day General . Secretary Probert, of the central committee, had reports from the townships of the county, sonto of them pleasing and gratifying; others" of a most disap pointing character. The reports show the following: 1 " Lemlev has raised 1277; Deweese, 11.120; Huntersville. $1,226; Long Creek. $176; Mallard Creek. izi; Paw Creek. $313; Crab Orchard. $61$; Clear Creek, no- report; Berryhlll, $295; Morning Star, $715; Sharon $66.50; Steele Creek $381; Pinevllle. $192.75 and Providence, no Teport. -That Clear Creek and Providence, two of the finest townships in the county, have made no report does not mean hat nothing .nas Deen aone in them, but that the reports are not In. Th cnuntv committee expects a good report from these today, and large reports from several townships which have made partial reports. The- reports from the negroes will be made at tonight's meeting, also, according to Commander J. E. King, of the negro division. Last week he made a partial report and stated that at church services today the sum al lotted to them would be raised and that it would come Into the general fund at tonight's meeting, which will be the last. It is understood that there are sev eral other large gifts in prospect for today. In one Instance, one of the leading business men, who Is said to have declared his desire to make a large contribution, has not yet been reached . On Saturday a committee called upon him and he sent . out word that he was engaged and could not see the committee. Then ar rangements were made to meet him j today, and if he lives up to tne re ports of his charitableness the sum will be greatly enhanced. Several other business men of large affairs have not yet made their con tributions, it was stated, and these are hoped for before the sun goes down tonight In this connection it was stated that the office will be open alP day, that those who desire to make subscriptions may call there either in person, or by telephone, 3881, and make their gifts. The workers will gather at head quarters this morning for territory as signment and those who do not de sire territory will work as free lances, wherever they happen to de sire to go. Many of the canvassers have special friends they desire to call on and today 4hey will be at liberty to go wherever they please, and get every dollar available for the fund. County Chairman W. J. Martin, president of Davidson college, yester day received a telegram" from Dr. John R. Mott, general chairman of the national committee, urging that the over-subscription be as large as possible, in view of the reports that some sections are slow in rallying to the cause. Special paving assessments against property owners on Trade street be tween College and Mint strets and on Tryon street between. Sixth and Third streets were made publfcs yes terday at the . office of Mayor Mc- Ninch. - These assessments are to ob tain funds to pay for thesresurfaclng work now, in 'progress ;on the two streets named, , and are ' published in detail in. the advertising columns of this Issue of Th Observer. The to tal amount was said to be about $28.- 000. ,..-y.- f . ( ' Assessments for the proposed re surfacing work on South Tryon street between Third and Morehead streets will be prepared and announced la ter. Mayor 'McXinch said; this sec tion having been declared by - city ordinance 'a permanent improvement district. , - FUNERAL SERVICES, FOR- . ' SAMUEL BRQWN HARKEY The cotton receipts at Charlotte averaged only about ,20 bales daiy during the past two weeks, since the cotton market began .to fluc tuate wildly, and the rece&ts here to date for this season are 470 bales under the average total, according to Cotton "Weigher J. S. Withers. The annual average -receipts at this mar ket are between 11,000 and 12,000 for the 10-year period. Cotton warehouses at Charlotte are jammed with the staple, he said, and very little space remains avail able ; for cotton thatv' Is now , being picked. Mr. Withers said the ginners in this section were busy all day Sat-urdaj-, butrvery little of the cotton was sold. Receipts Saturday were $1 bales, and In one "small warehoused 0 bai$s were stored during the day," it was explained. -,. . Funeral services, for Samuel.

Pr. T. F. Marr has been Us pastor for one year, and under his ministry the church has grown and flourished. His sermons have been declared a power for good, and his work in and out of the , church an uplifting influence in the community generally. Doctor Marr preached at both services yesterday, and for his morning sermon the subject was "Essential Christianity," Lwlth Eph. 1:3 as text: "Blessed be the God and Father of Our Lord Jesus Christ, who : hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings In heaven ly places In Christ" , , "I am not sure that I like this term," said Doctor Marr, "because Christianity is all essential. But when Jesus Chrtpt came Into the world He did not find a. perfect system of re ligion. He found one that had a great deal of truth In it, and one into which a great deal of ecror had crept; but because He did -not find a per fect -system of , religion He did not fail fb ally Himself with it. He re spected It.. He became a part of it; and I think this is truo, that there has never been a time in the history of the church of God when men, were not in possession of a system of re ligion containing sufficient truth to keep them in the way of all right eousness and save them In heaven. "But while Christ did not fall to ?.lly Himself with the existing sys em of religion, . neither did He fail to condemn the errors that had crept into It. If He should come.lnto the world again today He would not And a perfect system of religion. From time to time there have been cer tain human additions. Sometimes these things are useful, and some times they are very detrimental." ' Following out this . thought Dr. i Marr discussed some of the abuses ton ; which the church is subject, and put : over agtmiBi iiieeo me iruin una es I sential Christianity.
