It Is generally conceded by those who have long been hoping for a " change for the better administering of justice that the term of court Just clos- ' ed was by far the most encouraging - held here In years, end the opinion Is freely expressed t!ct the results are largely due to the plain, practical rnarge delivered to the grand Jury last ; Monday by Judge Gage, an outline of s which was furnished by this corres- - pendent and It Is believed that now that the public conelence seems to be aroused there will be no relapse, pro- vided the Judges who follow continue to stress the iltal Importance of con victing all vlolaters of law, where the law and evidence warrant a convic tion, regardless of the color of the skin f the defendant his social standing or the tle of -his bank aceount. 0" i fh scfrd'.y of labor the wj!t c' irMalllng' the s lM rage sys- ... tern la nel making the prep ess tho ll l.irg noo lil U'xe Th- contractors - lncn'l the rrlcs for day laborers re cently from SI to $1.25, but there has not been the hoped-for Increase In the . number 6f laborers.

Special te The Observer. , : ; ,. Wadesboro. July ! The past year has been one of khe greatest ac tivity and most pronounced success in all lines within the bounds of the Charlotte district of he Methodist Church, as ahown by the reports at the-conference Just closed nere. idi women's organizations led by 'Mrs. ITrank Hilr and Mrs. 'W.. W HagOOd, of Charlotte, have , Uken lorward. trldea. ' ', v , -.:t---:.- :: . Great flnanclai progress has been made in the Church work In the in dividual charges and hls is largely the result of toe Laymen's Movement under the direction of the district leader. J. H- Ivey, of Charlotte. This movement Is In its Infancy In the district but the mae-nincent mass meeting Friday night lasting for near ly three hours means much for the Church during the coming year. Al ready eery charge I organized and the purpose of the laymen's league the coming year is to perfect this or ganization and push tne perfect Ion. xf effort la each charge. This district already leads In the - Western ( North Carolina Conference but will strive to attain greater thing. The first purpose of the league, as shown in the reports Friday night was ths Increase of the offering for foreign missions In the district from $2,600 to JJ.000. The Increase was more than provided tor, the iotai amount raised belna- '16.000. me Charlotte churches. Tryon 8treet and Trinity, led off In the movement Try- on Street Increased ' her offering By ddlng $1,000. Trinity added $&00. Wadesboro. 1200: Mount Zlon, $200. and others In nrobOTion. One Of the weaker country churches reported an Increase of $100. Tne meeting was not emotional, but the result of earn est, active, educational work among the laymen. The laymen did not stop nere. but are pushing their work into every de partment of Church activity and pro nose durina the coming year to in- ', creas all the denominational offerings. The matter of DMtors salaries was taken up and an effort made to lry crease these salaries. Success crowned this labor and fully two-thirds of the charges Increased the salaries of the pastors during this year, ooing on in their work the laymen's league : through the leader. J. H. Jvey. pro posed the rhonor roll." In order to be on this roll ttie charge must pay , the salary of the pastor In full and provide the Conference collections. Four churches were reported last night as having reached the honor roll and a number of others was close ! to the goal. Tryon Street, Charlotte, J Trinity, Charlotte, Wadesboro and Monroe were the four successiui churches. It was proponed that next i year every charge would have a "white record." The opening address by Rev. Hugh K. Eoyer. of Charlotte, was the "pace maker and the preacner was at nisi best. He told the laymen that the i salvation of the world depended upon 'you and me." The progress of tne Christian work demands men of cul ture, knowledge and training. In formation of the field m peeded.- Praver Is neefld. Then money will come with which to carry forward the work. .The concluding addresnes were de llvered bv two of the Charlotte Ih.v men, C. W. Tlllett and R. L. Harding. Both are deeply Interested in the new movement and their pienaii aa dresses Impresad the great audience that attentively followed every word and argument. Not only the- Metho dist Church, but every other denomi nation In Wadeaboro. will feel 'the good result of the laymen s confer ence. COMMISSION MAY TAKK ACTION. It Has the Power to Prevent the Peo- poHcd Inm-ane In freight Kates If It Keen Profx-r and a Complaint I Tiled by a Shipper Chairman Knapp Outlines tli Iowrrs of Hip Vmmlslon and tlie Courm Tliat May Be Pursued. Washington Dispatch. 18th. The lnter-8tat commi'rce rommln- lon may take action on the increased freight rates agreed to at the meeting of the Southeastern Freight Associa tion and the Southeastern MIkhIkaIppI Valley Association at Louisville, Ky.. yesterday, when the new tariffs are filed w ith the commission by the ronds h.ivlng mrr..l;trhlp in theso two as- StK'latlOIlH Action can bo taken by the.commls- lon on Its own Initiative or upon the complaint of shippers or shippers' aso clatlona If the inter-State commerce commission should find that the in crease In freight rates was made through action and that there was evl' dence that the Bherman anU-truiU'law was violated, the attention of tho At torney General will In all probability be called to the matter. In speaking of the powers of the Inter-State commerce commission in the case where an advance In freight rates has been made by tha railroads. Chair man Knapp, of the commission, said to-day: 'The railroads must file their tariffs with the commtRSton within 30 days notice of a contemplated change. Changes In rates between competitive points must be made - simultaneously by all the roads operating between these points. This in a measure pro tects the shipper. When a railroad flies notice of 'an ' Increase In Its freight rates, tbe commission -can, on its own motion, make an investigation as to the reasonableness of the ad vance. "In tha case where the commission acts on Its own motion, however, it' cannot issue an order. If a. shipper 'nakea a complaint to the commission against a railroad, charging an unjust Increase In rates, each side Is given a bearing and the commission can then is sue an order based on lta decision In tha case. Should It develop that tbe Increase was made through concerted action, tbe commission would, very likely refer tha matter to the Attorney General. The Department of Justice can also call upon tha commission to Investigate as to tha reasonableness of an Increase in ratea. "The commission would bsse lta in- veetlgatfbn on tbe conditions existing oa the roads making tha '- Increases, considering each ease separately, it may be found that, tha roads In the South. would be Justified in Increasing their rates, while tha roads In the trunk Una association would not have suf- Wood : fibre Wall Plaster, "Hard aindi." , : TUB BUILDERS FRIEND : ' - ' Precilng doee sot hart j Mtmrai abrlakag will mot crack tt water does not make l fail off bard as stoat. writ tor booklet.

While the commission is an ad ministrative body, lta duties are very analogous to tlfbse of a Judicial body and tha name form i ' used a. com plaint; an answer; and a hearing. . "Justification for Increase In freight rates.. If there -Is' to be ' such an .in-, crease, may be found if at all, only in the fact that increased' costs of opera tion and maintenance of railroads has reached a point i where reasonable profit on money Invested In them Is not possible from the revenue they , now receive. 1 In determining whether rates are- reasonable, careful consideration la necessary f three factors that good wages be paid railroad employes; that present transportation facilities be kept to a satisfactory standard.; and that new facilities be provide d to meet ever Increasing- demand for them."
