To the People of North Caroli na: It has been determined to haVe a quick, vigorous campaign in behalf of the monument " to Charles B. Aycock . " All the energy and, interest of the people will be concentrated in a great three-day rally to tee cause, Friday and Saturday, May 17th aud 18th, with a final effort on Monday, May 20th. The dates are auspicious- May 17th and 18th for all the work that can be done, with the con cluding effort on May 20th. May 20th is a legal holiday, a patriotic dav in North Carolina history ; and how better can. our people show their patriotism than Ly honoring the' memory of this great North Carolinian? Let the canvas be organized, promptly, thoroughly, systemati cally, in every town and coun ty. There should not be one or two canvassers, but a dozen or more in every place; and let the gifts be liberal. No county should attempt to raise less than $1,000, and the larger counties much more. We should get $50,- 000, not only enough for a monu ment, but for a permanent educa tional memorial. - North Carolina has heretofore complained that her great men are not recogonizsd abroad ; but if great Virginians, for example, are known the Nation over, it is because first of all Virginia has cherished their memory. The Nation appreciates Ayoook; let North Carolina show, that she does. We shall honor ourselves in so doing. Let every North Carolinian, re gardlesB of party or creed, help the State honor itself by honoring its great "Educational Gover nor. ',' And let each county sebk to outdo others in ilBeraiity aity f 17tb, 18th, and 20th. Very respectfully, Geo. C. Roy all president, Aycock Memorial Association. Goldsboro, N. G. Goiernment to Mint Three-Cent and Half Gent Pieces. Washington, May 10 The de sign of the nickel is to be changed, whether or not the Balkley bill authorizing the coiu of one-half cent and three-cent pieces passes. The twenty-five year period dur ing which .the design of United States coins must remain the same, according to act of con gross, has expired as far as. the nickel is concerned . The new de sign will show a buffalo on one side and possibly an Indian head on the otner. The designs for the new coins have not yet beeu fully decided upon. There is a plan to have a hole in the center of the three cent piece. The half-cent piece still probably have an escolioped head. Both wili be of the same composition as the nickel. The three-cent piece will be larger than the nickel and the half-cent piece smaller than the dime. The composition of the penny is to be ohanged to that of the nickel, 75 per ceut oopper and 25 per cent nickel. Kansas Instructs Delegates for T. R. Independence, Kan ., May 8.

St. John Cabarrus congregation, and the reception and disposition of sevaU inipor taut but routine ; reports, the North Carolina Lutheran Synod completed its business sessions yesterday, and many o the visit ing clergymen h ft f for their homes. This evening the formal close of the 109th session will occur af- ter the ordination of M L Kester to the ministry. Rav..V Y Booz er of .Lexington will preach the ordination sermon and- th other clergy taking part in the service will be Reverends M MfKinard, G H Cox and T C Parker. The Synod en joyedf yesterday afternoon the Disvileze:of hearing hriflf hnt mn9 inkerestinir dress from Rev. G H Gerberding, professor of practical heology in the Chicago Lutheran- Semiuary and one of the most widely read authors in the Lutherab Church. After expressing his treasure at being present at this Eession. Dr. Gerberding congratulated the Sy nod rlpon the aotive interest it is displaying in the causey of Chris tian education which tie considers fundamental to alljg' Christian progress. Iu Dr Gsrberdiug'B view the Protestant churches to day face four dangers, namely, the prevalence of agnostic, mate rialistic unbelief, the wave of crime which has followed, in its wake, the spread ol: an utterly Godless socialism and the en croachments of RiAnism. No weak-kneed Prottfetism will suffice to cope wiih 'these dangers. There must be a return to the faith wbick-saved Europe in the anism is to take advantage of the opportunity thus afforded the cause of education must be ooked to with most dil'gent care. On motion of Dr. R C Hol and the Synod adopted resolu tions tendering thankB to Presi dent C. B. King of Elizabeth College for the delightful musical and social entertainment enjoyed on Friday evening, expressing the gratification of Synod at the splendid work now being done by the college, and heartily com mending the institution to all Lutheran parents haviDg daugh ter to send to college. As the ast action of Synod before ad ournment in the afternoon, Rev. R. A. Goodman of Mount Pleas ant offered resolutions thanking the congregation, choir and pas tor of St Mark's for the abuud ant and cordial hospitality with whioh Synod haB been entertain ed, the newspapers for the clear and acourate acoounts of proceed ings which have been published; the Greater Charlotte Club for the pleasure derived from the trolley ride and all others to whom . Synod is indebted for kindness. These resolutions were adopted by a rising vote. Iu pursuance of a resolution adopted Friday President Kin- ard Announced the appointment of icommission to confer with the South Carolina Synod unon the jeint establishment of a col lage for women. This commis- siorf will consist of Rev. R. L Pattersou, J L.JIcrgan and O, W. Adderholt and laymen C. M. Thompson, J. S. Efird and C. M. Van Poole. A number of amendments to the constitution of Synod were 1 1 .. presented oy a committee ap pointed at the 1911 session. m . -i i a lnese.wnn two exceptions were chuny in the interest of greateT clearness in the document. One of the important amendments abolished the office of statistica secretary handing his duties over to the regular secretary ; the other provided that ministers who have ceased active minicteria work shall be carried upon the rolls of Synod only in cases where the action has been occasioned providentially, aud further tha i any minister wno engages upon secular occupation to the negleo of pastoral work shall be dropped from the Synod's roll. ! Synod decided to accept an in vitation from St; John's Cabar rus congregation to hold its 1913 session in that church. It is of interesrto note that this country congregation nas furuiBhed more l- ministers than any other in the NoTth Carolina Synod, that it was one of the three oldest Luth eran churches in this region hay-r ing bean founded in 1773 and that in all human probability three of its sons will come before Synod next yeir for ordination. These facts make the acceptance of the invitation at this time pe culiarly appropriate . - - Synod throughout the day gave close attention to the reading of a considerable number of reports from standing committees. The approaoh of services' in home churches which could not be pass ed ovei caused Boniewhat of a df- ad-fptetioB the ranks of the body but this did not cause Synod to relax its acute attention to the business going forward. Wher ever reports included more than a single feature the body actrd upon them item by item, this neoessitating intelligent under standing by the entire body be fore any matter was acted upon. Among the items of interest re Bolved upon might be mentioned the determination to hold in July a Sunday school normal jointly with the Tennessee Synod at Le noir College, Hickory, and the appointment of Rev. Charles B. King as archivist of Synod. Speaking of the contest over the. location of the school the Concord Times says: Mount Aja-ena Seminary will be rebuilt at Mount Pleasant. This action was decided upon at the afternoon session of the Luth eran ynod in Charlotte - Friday by tiracticaJLv unanfjulous vote, Frse vera r m bl&shtr TTTb been the one absorbing question not only among Lutherans of this section but the people generally. No sooner had the smoke died away from the burning building, which went up in flames Novem ber 30th cf last year, than there arose a movement to locate tne school elsewhere. A special meeting of the Synod waa called o decide upon rebuilding the in stitution . Five towus took the matter up ani made bids for the school. A committee was appointed for the purpose of selecting a location aud a spirited contest was started. A!l of the five towns, Salisburv, Laudis, Lexington, China Grove and Mount Pleasant, made at tractive offers of suitable sites and a sum of money. Citizens of the towns have made vigorous campaigns to raise iunus ana great interest was aroused. Soon after the fight was started it was known bythose familiar with the situation that the contest was be tween Salisbury and Mount Pleasant. The committee visited the va rious places and decided bya vote of 5 to 4 to locate the school in Salisbury. This caused all of the other towns to drop out with the exception of Mouut Pleasant. Tha citizens there refused to be disoouraged by the adverse report and kept their courageous efforts to the last, knowing that the committee's renort would have to be passed upon by the Synod and that the matter would be finally disposed of by thit body. Mr. Heilig read a detailed finan cial statement showing receipts for the past year. This paper showed that the treasurer had received about $11,000, dome $4,000 of which was devoted to the cause cf home and foreign missions. At this point upon motion of Rev. R. L. Patterson, Rev. Ed ward Fullenwider of Newberry, S C., was received as fraternal delegate from the South Carolina Synod and the following minis- ters as advisory members Synod: Revs. W H Greever, Columbia, S.

"When father got up," testified Cluude, "I saw. Clerk Goad stand ing with his gun pointed at pap. I believed he was a-goin to shoot pap and I reached for my gun. Before I got it out pap fell and I started shooting at Goad." Claude deolared that he saw Sidna Allen, his uncle, who. is still at large in the mountains, firing just about the time he Saw Goad fire.
