R Kankin & Bro. ,W.Trd Street The Work on the Tabernacle Completed How it Looks Inside The Ohoir to Fractioe in it To-Night. The big tabernacle fo& the, Sam Jones meetlngshich will begin in Charlotte next Thursday, is comple ted and ready for use. The choir will tonight occupy the stage in the tabernacle, in practice. One has to enter this building to get an idea of its vastness. It is big ger than any circus tent that has ever been seen in Charlotte. A per son on the top seat in the east end would have to use a pair of opera glasses to recognize the features of a friend on the top seat in the west end, unless he is possessed of a re markable pair of eyes. Raised seats run around the east, south and west sides of the building, and down in the centre are rows upon rows of benches, iutersected by four Aisles. The stage is located on the north side, and has slightly raised seats in the rear for the choic' The choir seats will accommodate 200 people. Immediately in front of the stage, is a low platform for the use of the vis iting ministers. Between thisolow platform and th audience, the re porters will have their tables. For carpeting, a layer of closely packed cotton seed hulls is used. This novel carpet deadens the sound of tram pling feet, and possesses an addi tional virtue of being moisture proof. Gas fitters are at work today, arrang ing lights throughout the great build ing, and the illumination will be per fect The stage Mill be especially well lighted. The tabernacle was designed to seat 5,000 people, but it will easily hold ,000. The arrange ment of t lie seats is excellent Every body can't have his advertisement at the top of the column, neither can everybody have the seat nearest the speaker, but all will be where they can hear. People who look around In the buildiug wonder how Sara Jones can make himself heard all over It but they say that Sam never fails to get there, - - The Poor House Good Enough for Them. A few days ago, Esquire I). G. Max well wrote to Mr. V. C. Stronach, secretary and treasurer of the Con federate Veterans Association of North Carolina, for the admittance to the Soldiers Home, of J. M. Shiffleld, a Mecklenburg veteran. Mr. Shif fleld, was a private In Co. B, 13th North Carolina Regiment, and was badly wounded in the war. In re cent years sickness has disabled him and he has lwen for a tin' cared for in the Home mid Hospital here. Mr. Stronach's reolv to Col. Maxwell's letter is signillcnnt. Replying, he nys: "Your favor of the 7th duly received, and would have received immediate reply, but have been too unwell to write till today. In reply I am very sorry to say that for lack of funds to maintain it we have not opened the 'Home' so kindly given us by Col. Heck. The whole subscrip tion to date amounts to about $3,000. If our people ever hat! any interest in, or sympathy for the worn out sol diers of the Confederacy, they must have outgrow n it, and it seems that a home in the poor house is considered good enough for the disabled veter ans of the "Iost Cause." oe Oream in a Minute.

Southern Educational Association. This body which meets at More head City, N. C, July 1-6, just at the close of the session of the Teachers' Assembly, will be the flsst of the kind ever organized in the South.

Points About Begistration. The question of registration for the city bond election is one of more importance than most people think. For instance, the man who does not want to vote for the bonds and fails to register, does just exactly what he does not want to do, and votes for the bonds. There should be a full registration of both sides, so as to have a fair and square election. It is important for all to register. An absolutelv new registration is re quired, and unless the voters regis ter faster, there is going to be trou ble for those who want to see the bonds carry the day. ' ' Baiiroad Changes.
