Entered aeeoad-olaas matter Jan.
19th. 1805, at the post office at Salis
bury, . 0., under the act of Congress
of March 8id, 1878.
Salisbury, April 30th, 1913.
Ohai. A. Bland was nominated
yesterday to succeed himself as
mayor of Charlotte.
The trouble with this bond busi
ness is the people are not willing
to build ten-year roads with fifty
year bonds.
The floods are now rasing in
Mississippi and Louisiana. It ia
stated that 25,000 people are be
ing oared for by the army.
Wm. J. Bryan seems to be meet
ing with some sucoess in illimi
nating the objectionable features
in the Oalifornia alien land bill.
A new bill has been drawn.
Mecklenburg county has just of
fered tome bonds for sale bearing
4 1-2 per cent, interest, but there
were no bidders. Better learn now
to pay as you go rather than have
to learn later through necessity.
In a farewell luncheon to Mr.
Bryce, the British Ambassador,
Mr. Bryan, Seoretary of State,
served grape juice instead of wine,
and from the howl they are
putting up, . it would seem this
was the only way some folks had
to get a drink of wine and oonse
quently were muoh disappointed.
Mr. Bryan does well to cut out
the Belshazzar business.
ine Vxreensboro Kecord says
that the search and seizure law is
being used to good effeot in Salis
Jmitj . This may be trae, but it it
strange that those of us who. live
here cannot corroborate the state
ment. Once upon a time there
was a man who was always seek
ing a job and praying that he
would never find it, and thus it is
with our officials in regard to the
tigers.
In the fire which destroyed the
News and Observer's plant, the
mailing galleys went with the
rest, consequently the Observer is
being mailed to the postoffioes with
the request that the postmaster
hand them out to subscribers as
correctly as possible. This suggests
a valuable service the postmasters
could render the Observer, which
ii to take the name and address
ol each one who calls for the
piper and send the lists to the
publisher.
Some papers are expressing sur
prise because new Chinese govern
ment has called for the prayers of
the Christians of the world. The
reason for this surprise may come
from the fact that it is not com-
monly known the ranking, general
of the successful army against the
Manchus and the president of tbe
new republio are earnest Protest
ant converts and the very highest
type of men in tbe oountry. This
i3 the work of sixty short years of
protestantism against three thou
sand years of Confucianism and
noestor worship, and threi
bundrod years of Catholioism and
Mohauimedism. If such men are
elected to sucoeed the present of.
floialp China will soon be one of
the ctiost wide awake, earnest and
strougest christian nations of the
earth.

Thb Watchman Glinka the city
alderman will make a mistake by
making another contract for street
lighting, eta , at this time. The
present contract runs for more
thin two years and a portion of
this time should be given to the
consideration of the subject. No
one knowB what may transpire
within this time that will be of
advantage to the oity and, the
ery fact that a new ten year con
tract is almost being thrust upon
us before the expiration of the
present arrangement, does not look
well to say the least. We believe
the city can make better arrange
ments by further ooniideration
and investigation. For instance,
should it be necessary to go to the
Yadkin for a oity water supply,
the additional oost to equip a oity
power plant there would be in
significant in comparison with the
benefits. The aldermen, we take
it, or looking out for the general
welfare of the oity and not the in
teresfcs of stockholders of corpora
tions.
PRGEEDIN6S OF PRESBYTERY.
Elect Infant Clinse. locreised Coolrlba
tlODS, Evangelistic Campaign.
At the meeting of Concord Pres
bytery at Lenoir last week Rev.
Bdgar Tufts, president of the
Lees-McRae Institute at Banner
Elk, reported that the school
buildings, owned by the Presby
tery, are valued at $85,000, but
that funds aie badly needed to
further equip the school for larger
and better service, as the demands
made upon it are increasing every
year. A friend of tha sohool has
offered to give $4,000 to establish
the high school department, pro
vided a similar amount can be
raised from other Bonroes.
A report of the executive oom
mittee of the board of trustees of
Statesville Female College showed
that $3,900 of the $5,(00 promised
by the Presbytery for the lifting
of the $1U,UUU debt had been ran
ed by 15 of the churches, leaving
$1,100 to be seoured. Dr. J, A.
Scott, president of the college,
was heard in a brief address in the
interest of the institution.
The following were elected com
missioners to the General Assem
bly which meets in Atlanta the
latter part of May: Ministers,
Revs. C. E. Raynal and W . L.
Lingle D. D. ; alternates, Revs.
B. D. Brown and J. S. Summers;
elders, Maj G. W. F. Harper of
Lenoir and Dr. J. S. Lafferty of
Concord ; alternates, W. C. Feims
ter of Newton and L. K. Overcash
of Stat6sville.
Key. W. C. 0. Foster was re
ceived as a member of this Pres
bytery from the Presbytery at
Tuscaloosa, Ala.
The report of the home mission
committee Bhowed one new church
organized and two old churohes
re-organized within the bounds o:
the Presbytery, making the tota
82, which is the largest number in
the history of this body.
ine ioiiowing overture was
adopted and ordered sent to the
General Assembly. "In the ef
fectual application of the redemp
tion by Christ to infants and
other persons who are inoapable of
being outwardly called by the
ministry of the World, the use of
the Word, or the other ordinances
of the Churoh is not necessary ;
but they are regenerated and
saved by Christ through the Spirit,
who worketh when and where and
how He pleassth." It is hoped
that this will be substituted for
the much-debated "elect infant
clause."
lhe statistical report shows
largely increased contributions to
all causes. Total for foreign mis
sions $10,789, an increase of near
$3,000; assembly's home missions
$1,547, Christian education and
ministerial relief $4,415, Orphans'
Home $6,598, an increase ol
nearly $3,000 over last year; pas
tors' salaries $28,719, congrega
tional $16,052, miscellaneous
causes $5,010.
There were 515 additions to the
membership the past year and the
total membership of the churches
in the Presbytery is now 7.805.
Tbe Sunday sohool enrollment is
0,497. Of church officers there
are 278 elders and 254 deacons.
The Presbytery decided oa an

of special meetings, to be held

DAN6ER FROM GRIPPE
Lies in That Cough and Weak,
Worn-out Condition.
Grippe, pleurisy, pneumonia, these
axe greatly to be feared at this time
01 the year.
To prevent eriDDe from belnsr fol
lowed by either pleurisy or pneumo
nia, it is important to drive the last
traces of it out of the system quickly.
Our advice is to take Vinol, our
delicious cod liver and iron prepara
tion without oil, and get your strength
and vitality back quickly.
Mrs. A. A. Grabill, of Strasburg;
Va. says: "Grippe left me weak, run
down and with a severe cough, from
"Which I suffered four years. I tried
different remedies, but nothing seemed
to do me any good until I took Vinol,
from which I received great benefit.
My cough is almost entirely gone, and
I am strong and well again, and I am
glad to recommend Vinol to others
Who suffer as I did."
Try Vinol with the certainty
that If It does not benefit
yon we will give back your money.
