i The Greensboro Loan and Trust
Company has just Installed a new vault
Which is the wonder and admiration
of all who have seen It. It is the Mos-

doors, but the inner door is protected
by a strong combination and three
time locks and no burglar can ever
ohen it. So closely does this Inner
door fit that oil cannot find Its way
through the crevice. The vault is a
most wonderful piece of mechanism
and is the third of the kind to be
brought to North Carolina. Its weight
is between twelve and fifteen thousand
pounds. r

Another religious assemblage in
which a large number of our people
are interested Is the North Carolina
Conference of the Methodist Protestant
Church, the seventy-fourth annual ses- '
slon of which convened in Friendship
church, near Plyler, Stanly county.
last Wednesday. Rev. J. S. Williams,
of Henderson, formerly pastor of Grace
church, this city, preached the annual
sermon. The conference was well at
tended and the various reports made
m
were very encouraging.
The conference recommended that a
twentieth ceatury fund of $3,000 he
raised and applied to church extension
in North Carolina.
Strong resolutions were adopted
against the seating. th the house of
representatives of Congressman Rob
erts, the Utah bigamist.
Rev. T. J. Ogburn, corresponding
secretary of the board of foreign mis
sions, reported the gratifying fact that
the assessment of $1,800, assumed by
the conference last year, was more than
paid by $60. This Is more than $400 In
advance of the highest sum ever con
tributed to foreign missions before by .
the conference and speaks well for the
missionary zeal of North Carolina
Methodist Protestants, as well as the;
perseverance and energy of Mr. Og
burn. The conference extended sympathy
to the president and faculty and the
students and patrons of the Stat Nor
mal and Industrial College in the
trouble which has overtaken them.
Among the conference visitors were
Rev. Dr. T. H. Lewis, president of
Western Maryland College, Westmin
ster, Md.; Rev. Dr. D. S. Stephens,
chancellor of Kansas City University,
