i f CHARLOTTE DAILY OBSERVER, NOVEMBER, 25, 1004. CHARLOTTBTHASKSGIViyfi HOLIDAY AS WELIi AS HOLT-DAT. Street Quiet, but Gay With Idlers Service at ut Chw-cnea in the we noon Various Interests in the Af ternoonBear Dances, Football Bnl leUntt, Graded School Ceremonies, Fair Ground Stunts A Day of Grat itude, Meet and Enjoyment. After months of golden weather, Thankagivtng day put the crown upon it all. There wai the. merest hint of froat In the bracing air, and the autumn unahine was never more glorious. The people turned out to church as If it were Sunday, and the streets, except for the cars, were quiet. Sine it was not only a day of wor hlp, but a holiday as well, the folks did not go mo promptly to their homes when church was over as they do on Sundays, and the streets were quite Kay with idler until dinner time. - The drug stores were thronged with jvomen and men. "Or do you always have lso many people on tne streets here?" a a young lady was overheard to ask hei Charlotte lover as thev were crossing the sauare. 'This way all the time." he falsely hraggea. Some of the good dinners are describ ed in another column. After they had been eaten, it was time for the mat! iee. Out sallied the well dressed pop illation upon the streets again. The matinee struck luck; it had a packed house. But everybody by no ineanM uent to the matinee. There were doings at the fair ground, lit the Pil worth graded school, and else where. As the afternoon grew on, the hear men struck the town and congest ed population. This gave the people who did not take advantage of the matinee an inning. When the man got into grips with the bear, during fellow lliut lie was, und presumed to test I h physical issue with him, the pent hap iinas in the crowd effervesced explo sively. It was first the bear and then ihe man. The bear dance was also a stunt that made talk for the fireHide. But even the bear men had to submit to a divided popularity. The bulletins began coming in from the Richmond football game. The sporting people crowded about The Observer bulletin board and waited for the news with in tense interest. There was a lot of en thusiasm at the news of Carolina's touchdown, but a great silence during the reports of the second half. Toward dusk the gunners began coin Inx in from the eid. tired and hungry. It must have been a poor day for birds and squirrels, for few of the hunters wanted to talk. eio night fell upon the balmiest, most beautiful of Thanksgiving days. The report from the churches Is that thi people expressed their gratitude in sub stuiilltil form by generous contributions to the orphans and other objects. A. M. K. ZION C'ONFKKEXCE. Proceedings of the Second Day's Ses sion Increase of Collections Report ed Over Laat Year Interesting Mar riageStriking Characters in the Conference. The second day's proceedings of the A. M. E. Zlon .Conference now in ses sion at Little Rock church, corner Seventh ana Myers streets, were of un usual interest. The pastors are making then reports of general fund collected during the year. Dr. Franklin. the flnanctal "secretary of the connection, is holding each minister to a full report of Ihe amounts assessed the various charges. It is noticeable that the small er churches report more nearly the full assessment laid upon them than the larger ones. Bishop Clinton's remark. Lhat some changes are likely to occur which will give the pastors of some of the smaller churches a chance to try their skill in raising general fund in the larger churches where the pastors seem to be unable to bring up the as sessment, caused quite a ripple. Rev. C. C. Clements, the editor of The Star of Zion. was kept quite busy to-day receiving subscriptions to The Star and The Quarterly. In view of the fact that no minister can receive an appointment who is not a subscribe! to these periodicals. The church extension secretary. Dr.1 Coffey, is collecting for that depart ment, and reports coming up from the ihurches show great increase hi collec tions over last year, as was also shown by Dr. Blackwell's rcpqrt for the mis sionary department. Last night, was church extension ani educational rally. Dr. Coffey read his report and delivered the principal ad dress of the evening. Prior to the business session last evening a very pretty marriage was celebrated in the church. The contract ing parties being graduates of Living stone College. So great was the crowd that sought to see the marriage that as many were forced to stand outside a? had found seats in the church. There are five presiding elders' dis tricts in this conference. The presldinr elders will be called on to make reports this morning. Just before the close of yesterday evening's session the finan cial secretary, Dr. Franklin, read his report, which showed the total amount of generul fund collected, so fur, was J,r,o;t.12. which Is $200 in excess of last year's report. This amount does not in clude the amount of personal general tax paid by the ministers, and several churches not yet reported. One among the most interesting char acters now attending the session, amoiuf tho older men, is Father Tur ner, who is the oldest member of the conference. He has been preaching for 48 years. Father Turner attended ser vices at Grace church Wednesday even ing, and in an Impromptu address, re lated pvme of his experiences, and toM of the growth of the Western North Carolina Conference from the begin ning. Bishop Caldwell, of Philadelphia, pre sided during th second day's sessions. Bishop O. W. Clinton Will read his Episcopal address to the conference this afternoon at S o clock.
