OUR PREACHERS As will be seen from the appoint ments High Point gets two of the oest preachers in the conference and both by the way served churches at Charlotte last year. Dr F T Marr for Washington street and Rev L A Falls for South Main street. Dr Marr is considered one of the strongest preachers in the conference and has served the hrst churches at Winston,Salisbury and Charlotte. He is a deep thinker, strong and impres sive in delivery and an incessant worker. He has built up the work at the charges he has filled always leav ing a church much stronger than when he took charge. Mr Falls is not unknown to many of our citizens, having served the ' church in the neighboring town of Thomasville a year or so ago. He is a good preacher and pastor and the Main street people will like bim. RAGAN TO ROLLINS Mi W P Ragan, who claims that he had the unqualified . en dorsement of chairman Rollins for post master here, writes Rol lins a scorching letter accusing him of bad faith, treachery, etc. He calls on Rollins! to- resign for the good of the party. The letter is a warm number as between the two factions in the Republican party Blackburn and Rollins. Mr Rtgan calls on Mr Rollins to return 10 uiw uw , (iajB en dorsing him for the post - office here. " - PROPOSITION DECLINED Manager Hayden, to Whon the Matter Was Left, Say No. The stockholders of the North State Telephone Company some time have been entertaining a proposition from the Bell people in regard to a sub-license with ttis company. It was the conse sus of opinion of the stockholders or at least a majority of them. to do as Mr. Hayden thought best and therefore the following letter explains itself: To the stockholders of the North State Telephone Company: "The sub-license contract which has been under considers tion for the last several days has received my careful attention During the term of this contract we would pay the Bell Telephone Company a minimum rental of $4,200 in excess tonthe annua rental on ioo sets. This I do not think our company could stand without a raise in our rates. I is understood that we cannot con Bistently raise our rates unless the stockholders exclusive of myself should decide to do so, and this they are not willing to do. It was once my intention to act in accord ance with a certain paper which has been circulated but more than a dozen signers of this paper came to me and said they would with draw their names when they learn ed that it had not been circulated at my request, but said they mis construed the attached statement to mean that I was in favor of this sub-license arrangement and was asking for their approval. Also ai the moeting to consider this pa per, after some discussion the pigners present withdrew their names from the paper. Futher more this paper in its entirety, after certain corrections were made never did represent one otartb of the stock. It will be remembered that in the stockholders meetings about every man with the excep tion of three or four expressed themselves against and voted against this measure. With these and other facts before me I decline to recommend this contract to our company, believing this is in accordance with the ideas of a large maiority of our stockholders. J. F. Hayden. FORTY-FIVE ENGINES Snencer. Nov. 13. The Southern Railway Company has placed an or der for another lot of 45 large locomo tives to be delivered in Spencer at an early date. The order was given to the Richmond shops of the American Locomotive Works, this being the third lot on engines to be delivered by the Richmond shops this year. Ihe Southern is continouely making per manent improvements in and around its Spencer plant which is already the largest in , the south and there are persistent rumors that there are yet much larger things in store for this place. Among the new enterprises and improvements scheduled for Spencer is an enlargement of the shop buildings and a foundry. . New mechanics are being employed every day and the ? pay roll is increasing month after month. . ' , CAPT. JOHNS OUT Capt. W. E.

WILEY TO LEAVE One of Salisbury's Leading Families Goes to High Point. Tbe announcement that Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Henderson Wiley and children are to leave Salisbury and become residents of High Point, will bring with it the deep est expressions of loss to a com munity where they have been such factors in the church, in society, and musical circles. Mrs. Wiley is beautifully accomplished and will be an ornament to High Point as she has been in this place of nativity. As secretary of the Missionary Society of the First Presbyterian church and secretary of the Christian Reid Book Club, and member of the Eurydice Club, she has had much to do with the religious, literary and musical ac tivities of our city. They are citizens that a community can, but with deep regret, spare for the betterment of another city. Mr. Wiley's decision to leave Salisbury is due largely to his ex tensive interest in the knitting mill recently moved from Salis burp to High Point. Salisbury Sun. The Enterprise is pleased to wilcome these excellent people to High Point. They have rooms at Mr. M. J. Wreun's home. MR. MURCHISON ELECTED Yesterday afternoon the board of highway commission met, the newly elected member, Mr. Murch ison sitting with them. The board elected bim its secretary. Just at present the commissioners are much interested in an experiment with a gravel road which, it is tbrought. will take the place of a macadamized read. The source of the gravel supply is in the south ern part of the county and if the road which is being experimented on turns out all right, all the roads convenient to the source of supply will likely be made gravel. Telegram. TELEPHONE MEETING There was a meeting of the North State Telephone Company last night for the purpose of con sideriug the proposition submitted by the Bell Telephone Compaoy When a vote was taken Mr. Hay den, the manager of tbe local line, who owns half the stock, declined tolvote either way. This brought the meeting to an abrupt close without any definite action. Mr. Havden gives as his reason for not voting that he desired to do what the other stockholders want ed. It seems that the local stock holders are willing to follow Mr. Havden in whatever action he finally decides. The meeting was adjourned without taking any action. VISIT TO OUR SCHOOLS Dr.Tftvlor visited theGraded School while here, and paid a handsome compliment to scholars ana teacners particularly as to the excellent order and dianinline of the school, and evident purpose on the part of every one to make the mosi 01 nis oppor tunites.

Brown, Yard Master', has a pistol with a wonderful record considering tbe little service it has done It has been fired only three times. First a policeman killed a man with it. The secoiid bullet from it also killed a man. The third shot was fired by Capt, Brown at a cat, killing tbe cat and tbe ball glancing and striking a negro almost proving fatal. There is yet two loads in this weapon and Capt. Brown is sure that when they go off something is going to drop. He is almost superstitious about it. We will say for the Captain that he does not carry the weapon with him not even when the boys are after him for cars. FURNITURE MANUFAC TURER MARRIED At the residence of the bride's sister, Mrs. C.

TAKE IT THROUGH Few people know that several nice dwelling houses have been erected on the proposed extension of Rankin street, between Main and Hamilton. Already half the block on one side of the street has been built. Tbe city should take this street through to Mallory. BACK TO OLD WAYS In addressing the class received into full connection, composed of Joseph W Kennedy, A L Aycock, William A Newell, j H Bennett and Beverly Wilson, the Bishop, among other striking things said that a sound Christian man was a sound gentleman and therefore qualified to acceptibly serve all classes. What the church needs is reaffirmation of the fundamental principles of tbe gospel. Good preaching not sensational lectures filling churches with multitudes was what was wanted. Greens boro Cor.

Bencini are modern and up-to- date in every way. Water works, lights, sewerage and a range in the kitchen. Those who occupy these houses are highly pleased with both location and convenien ces.
