No. 13 runs just ahead of No. 35, and No. 14 runs just ahead of No. 36. The through trains, Nos. 35 and 36, are always crowded, and the local trains, Nos. 13 and 14. will relieve this congestion."

This is an energetic move on tec tart oj local business men and one which it kept up in various forms throughout the entire year will un doubtedly result in greatly increasing iocal business. A great many people in nearby towns are beginning to appreciate the fact that they can buy as cheaply m Charlotte as they can in the big markets of the North, and also find aere an equal diversity of good3 to :-eIect from. -Trade in Charlotte" is a slogan which will benefit both buyer and seller. BLOODY SPORT. The Colonel has come cnpai-irxr distance and there i'-'";j need to finish the sentence. At any rate when he got through with the interview he had given a very bristling account of his bloody adventures in the uncut wilds or South American jungles. Kermit came near getting killed. A native, overcome by the strain, went crazy, killed a man and lost himself in the jungle. Other tragedies marked the march down the Amazon. The colonel himself was badly bruis ed, but he emerges "feeling bully" 'ready, we fancy for other blood curd ling encounters on the weedy wastes of Armageddon. Who Printed it First? The Charlotte correspondent of The Greensboro News gets just a little too gay in his claims. He says The News was the first paper in the state to carry the important item of news of the purchase of The Charlotte Chron icle by The Charlotte News. The News had the item' in Friday's issue while The Concord Daily Tribune and Con cord Times carried it on the day be fore. The Tribune and Times were not only the first papers to publish it but were the only papers that pub lished it at all on Thursday Con cord Tribune. A Stror.a. Clean PaDer. The Charlotte Evening Chronicle was established by the publishers o The Charjotte Observer 11 years ago, has been sold to The Charlotte Even ing News and hereafter there will be but two daily papers in Charlotte, The Observer occupying the morning field and The News the afternoon field. The Chronicle was a strong, clean newspaper and always upheld the highest ideals of journalism Greens boro Patriot. They learn it afterward, to their sor- Irnw.

Let tnat purpose be .pure . and unsemsu, and the paper will thrive. .But when men put hatred and 'jealousy into the paper where they put their money, then the money will take wings and all that these men will get is experi ence. Rock Hill Record. Historian Hilderbrand Heard From. To all and sundry of the Charlotte journalists: you bowed The Chronicle out very gracefully. You were only two years off in the date of The Chronicle's first appearance, and being as how that is a matter of history, there is hardly occasion for surprise. The Chronicle's career began in May, 1903, not 1905. Greensboro News. Important Consolidation. An important newspaper consolida tion has taken nlace in Charlotte. The News having purchased The Chron icle. For a long time Charlotte had only two daily papers, The Observer being a morning paper and The News an evening paper. In 1903 The Obser- , ver Company began publishing The Chronicle as an evening local paper and kept it up until this sale of the I latter to The News. The change will doubtless make stronger and better 'papers of both Greenville Daily Reflector. Have Good Health CHURCH WORK SPREADING. The Methodist Conference in ses ;ion at Oklahoma City is attracting Lhe attention of Methodists all over the South, while the Baptist conven tion which opens Wednesday in Nash ville will be of equal interest to the Baptist hosts of the Southern states. We notice by reports submitted at the Oklahoma Conference that there h2S been steady growth in an tranches of Methodist church work .luring the past year. Reports at the Baptist convention will also show ex pansion of church activities in every direction. The South during the past few yean bas outstripped every other section on the globe in agricultural develop ment, industrial expansion and mer cantile growth. Rapidly becoming the richest section of America, it is good to remember that the spiritual well "THE FOREST OF AR- W iS LOCALIZE Beautiful Campus at Elizabeth Coilege Scene of the Arden Play '"As You Like It" Beautiful Setting and Splen did Dramatic Presentation. With the Elizabeth College campus as the feres: of Ardcn and an impro vised stage with all the rustic settings realistically carried out. The Ellen Terry Dramatic Club of th college last nisht gave a splendid interpretation of Shakespeare's "As You Like It." The arrangement of the outdoor btage and theatre was ideal. The north side of the college main building and the south side of the graveled walkway leadin? to the entrance of the building was the site chosen. The grass-carpet-eri campus here slopes gently toward Hawthorne Lane. This natural siope was utilized for the placing of com fortable seats, rising one hebind the other gradually, so that those on the rear seat had as gocd a view of the stage as those in front. The siase itself was abmirably ar ranged with a bac k curtain of forest tut cedar !imb.s skillfully woven, with wild flowers placed with so much re gard for realism that the entire scene looked for aii the world like a cross section of a forest, several unhewn logs deftly placed among the settings adding very much to the effecthiveness of the picture. Overhead the giant whiteoaks of the campus waved their leafy branches and the waning moon tone arins through the opening between the trees near the close of the perform ance presenting an unusual setting and an eminently fit one for the play whose principal scenes are laid in the Forest of Aden. The young ladies who took part in the performance gave indication of having not only carefully rehearsed the mere stage production of the play but to have made careful and analytical study of it as to the characters rep resented. This conclusion is the na tural one gathered from the excel lence of the portrayal of the "well known characters of the play last a 5 m T V a In irrn minion o Vi r nrt rl bein of our people is not being ueg-its appreciation by the hearty applause lected.

The Chron icle was easily the best paper in North Carolina, and it was backed by men of large capital. But here is the moral: The Chron icle was started by men who had one end in view and the general idea over in Charlotte was that the motive un derlying the organization of another afternoon paper was primarily to fight the one already established. Such a fight in -the paper field has never yet scored a victory. The wayside is strewn with corpses of papers started with this end in view. As good a pa per as The Chronicle was (and there were few better), it could not live down this general impression. Such a fight inevitably strengthens the other paper. It is demonstrated in all towns where it is tried. There must ho rpal nnrnose. genuine sincerity. brains and money behind any paper which hopes to live and the chief of these is "real purpose." Men who rush madlv in the newspaper business with the hope of crushing the one already in the field generally at first have a poor conception of what is coming.
