ii !.:; ;r f " t, i 1 Mi 1 " I. - cf raycltevii I KocoruT, of leading Baptist rth Carolina ie. ana i"e Ilaleiffh. the denominational rs of the Mate, has ccasioneu J s h talk in Charlotte, where both l ,:; rrs have many warm friends and 1 xh1 supporters. The North Carolina Baptist was t'.irted as an Individual enterprise about fifteen years ago. It was soon acquired by a Joint stock company and for a number of years was issued under great difficulties. It was sold, this time, to an individual, who, after putting; it upon a paying- business, sold it to Mr. John A. Oates, the pres ent owner and editor. Mr. Oates success bas been phenomenal, the subscription : lists being- Increased from 3.609 to 8,000. and the plant and equipment being v wonderfully Improved. A large measure of his success has been due to the fact that ha has made tt a temperance paper. The Biblical Recorder has been tha organ of the Baptist State Con vention for a number of years and is the - oldest and best known f de nominational paper in the State. - Mr. J. W. Bailey was its capable editor for a number of years, Mr. C. W. Blanchard succeeding him to ' that high office eeYeral months ago. It has between 11,000 and 12,000 sub scribers. v.: '"' The -consideration In the deal Is aald to be $6,000, Mr. Oates receiv ing; this amount for his subscription lists. It is stated on rood authority that the number of stockholders in the company publishing The Biblical Recorder will be materially aug mented at the coming Convention, when an effort will be made to se cure the financial interest of a large per cent of the leading; Baptist ministers and laymen of the State. It W understood that the Convention will elect an editor and. that the price will be raised from $1.60. the present price, to li- Among those who are mentioned In connection with the editorship of the new "Re corder are Mr. Archibald Johnson, editor of Charity and Children, Thomasvlile; Rev. C A. Jenkins, of Statesvlile; Rev. Dr. J. Q. Adams, of Charlotte, and Rev. High C. Moore, of Raleigh. . " Rev. S. F. Conrad, of Charlotte, has been Field editor of the North Carolina Baptist for the past seven years, and large measure of Its success and ''popularity with the churches was due p his efforts. Mr. Oates, it Is understood, will engage In the real estate business and look after his other interests, which are very(wlde. The Biblical Recorder, with a clientlle of approximately 10,000 sub scribers, and having I the active sup port of all the Baptist ministers of the 8tate, and being the organ of the great Baptist denomination of the State, which has 200,000 members, should "a great factor In the af fairs of the denomination, as well as in the State. .

The evidence of the state's witnesses was to the effect that he had purchased from Ratcllflt whiskey, while the defendant and his brother maintained that Garrlsh pleaded for some liquor and they gave him a little.

School Commissioners Decide That Both Thursday and Friday May Be - Observed by the Charlott Public Schools as Thanksgiving Holidays. Thursday and Friday, not merely Thursday alone, will be holidays for the pupils of the Charlotte graded schools. This much was determined last night by the school commis sioners informally, and the announce ment will fall upon glad ears. For days not only the pupils, but teach ers as well, have been eagerly await ing Just that word, for though the new rules allow but one, hitherto two days have been allowed and they could not believe that the second day would be refused them. They reasoned that one day of school wouldn't do any good of Itself any way. Yesterday when the young people learned that the "county schools" were going to give two days, they immediately began to bring logic and argument into play to prove that If they were in the city they must of necessity be in the county also and that this would ap ply to them. The facts and Jhe school organization were against them, however, and had It not been for the change In plans but one holiday would have been their own. A DCSTY DAY. Pedestrians With Blinded Eyes Say Tilings Under Their Breaths About as Bad as Mud. The mud of the past 10 Ways gavo way to dust yesterday, the change af fording a competent index to the sud den change In the weather Sud den It was. in one- sense, though it was long enough In the coming. The clear weather of Sunday and Monday had served to dry the moisture work ing the transformation, and the wind which arose early yesterday did the rest. Great swirling clouds of billions of particles of mother earth wero driven hither and thither, thither and hither, all the day. People who a week ago would never have dreamed of questioning the statement that mud is the most undesirable thing under heaven now paused and reflected, with one hand on their hat which tugged Impatiently In an effort to seek green er fields and pastures new, while with the other they sought to protect their eyes so tha their vision would not be impaired. It was a new outlook upon life which they thus commanded and in the new perspective In- which it stood forth, dust loomed up large among the undesirables or the world. They were not so sure after all they wouldn't rather brave the mud. ;, ; !-. .' . - i ( ! .'.(' t' 1 i IflijW 1.5... - . - V. i ('. Jliiiuirt and I ' I i . . : ' Church. Mecklenburg FresVytery - yesterday morning voted to grant r.ev. Dr. Marr tin D. Hardin's request that the pas toral relation heretofore existing be tween hiinself and the SeconJ Pres byterian church be dissolved. This action was taken reluctantly for every one present realized what a loss Dr. Hardin's departure would be to the community, the Church and the Pres bytery. It Is safe to 6!.y that no minister that ever lived in the clty- has so Impressed himself ' jipon his people and the city at large as has Dr. Hardin during his four-years stay. Recently he received a call to the Third Presbyterian church, of Chica go, the largest and wealthiest "Pres byterian church In that great city Believing ' that he could accomplish more in that wider field, he accepted the call, on condition that he coul J get his release from his church and Presbytery. Last Sunday morning, the matter was presented to the church, and it agreed to release him and Join with 5lm In asking the Pres hytefp todlssolve their relation This action yesterday was the final step and Dr. Hardin Is now free to take Charge of his new work. He expects to leave about the middle of next month. At the meeting of the Presbytery yesterday morning. Rev. J. E. Berry hill, presiding, the following resolui tlon adopted by the Second church, was read:. - . 5 ' 4 "Whereas, Our pastor. Rev. Dr. Martin D. Hardin, having signified his intention to tender to the Presbytery of Mecklenburg his - resignation of the pastoral charge of this' church to accept a call to the Third Presbyte rian church, of Chicago; "Resolved, That we having met for the purpose of taking Into considera tion the uniting with him in his re quest to Presbytery to dissolve the relations now existing between us, do assent to the request of Dr. Har din, only because we deem it our duty to submit to the ordering of Provi-' dence in- thus removing our beloved pastor to another.and probably wider field of usefulness, but the parting brings regret as It severs a connec tion that terminates an intercourse of the most pleasant and agreeable character, closes the ministry of mul tiplied benefit and .blessing and re moves from us a shepherd and over seer faithful, earnest and conscien tious. "And now that we separate we In voke upon him and his family and upon his labors in the future the Heavenly benediction anj commend him to the love, esteem and confi dence of the church and community In which his lot Is cast. "Resolved. That copies of this reso lution bo furnished respectively to Dr. Hardin, the Presbytery of Meck lenburg, the ThlrJ Presbyterian church of Chicago and to The Pres byterian Standard of this city, for puDiication." .1 owes Its great popularity to its fnooth, rich, .:ciiv 7 flavor, a taste of which will maUe many another kind "taste l.e stump-water." l-lb. air-tight can 25 cts.

Mr. Cochrane Loses Last Finger. By an accident through which his hand became caught in some df the machinery of his show case factory, at the plant of the Cochrane Show case Company, Monday afternoon at i.sw ociock, Mr. j, E. Cochrane lost the last linger of his left hand. All the others had been lost individually in accidents. VERDICT AGAINST PLAINTIFF. Mr. J. Watt Hood Loe His Stables on Farm Seven Miles From Mat thews Lows Considerable. Another barn has been burnej In the county, making the 18th within less than nine months. Mr. J. Watt Hood, of Matthews, lost his stables last nlht about 11 o'clock and a considerable part of the contents, his loss probably amounting to as much as f 1,600. There is no clue to In cendiaries, hut no doubt rests In the minds of the people in that section that it was the work of a fire-bug. Tracks to and from the barn indi cated there" had been some per sons there for sinister purposes, and , Mr. Hood telephoned to the city for , bloodhounds, but the poor success which has attended trallng in the past accounts for the fact that the dogs were not sent. Barn-burning , in Meckenburg appears to have no end. The farmers are becoming nor and more alarmed, but there . la little they can do. - . Rev. Frank SUer.

' ' Jury Decide! That Mr. Rtarncs Is Not Kntltled to Recover From the City For Alleged Damages to Ills Prop erty. The. Jury in the case of Mr. A. F. Starnes against the City of Charlotte who was suing for 11.760 for alleged damages to his property as a result of excavating on Brevard street ex tension, returned a verdict yesterday afternoon In favor of, the defendant, it being the concensus of opinion that the plaintiff was not entitled to re cover anything at all. His conten tion, through his counsel, Mr. J. D. MeCall, was that the excavating work was done carelessly and without skill end that his property had been depre ciated in value as a result. The city held that no rharra bftj been done the lands of the plaintiff and that really the property had been raised In val tie through the construction of the street car line. Messrs. Hugh W.
