Yandle, a member of this church, be ing recommended to Presbytery by the session of this church, was exam ined and enrolled as a candidate for the gospel ministry. This young man is attending Davidson college this year. Two other young men were also enrolled as candidates for the minis try at this meeting of Presbytery.

M. a A. hight I A Week of Rain; Schools Open Octohei F irs t The night schools of the "ioung ; Men's Christian Association for the J coming season will be one of unusu jal excellence if the plans now being matured are fully carried out. The only thing preventing full announce ment at this time is that a few of the teachers have not definitely de cided to undertake the work outlined. Full announcement of the teachers will be made early in the week. Following is a summary of what will positively be undertaken and tins' list will be supplemented later in the season: October 1st will see the opening or two schools. One for boys who are employed ' during the day which will meet every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at the Y. M. C. A. building. Last year three teachers were en gaged for this department and the list of teachers can not at present be announced. However, some of the best teachers in the city are consid ering the matter. Arithmetic, Eng lish, spelling, geography and history, wili be taught. The suburban school at the Ather ton Mills will also begin October 1st though at present the teacher has not been definitely secured. The Atherton Mill Company will meet the expenses of this school which will be operated for the third consecutive season by the Y. M. C. A. There were 42 enrolled in this school last year.

Charlotte Men at Mass Meeting Twenty-four Charlotte men have al ready signified an intention of going to Raleigh on September 24 to be present at the mass meeting of the citizens of the state there at which time Governor- Locke Craig will be the principal speaker. It is desired by the officers of the Mecklenburg branch of the Just Freight Rate As sociation that at least forty represen tatives of the shipping interests of Charlotte be at Raleigh at the opening of the general assembly in special session. At the meeting last night, Charlotte went on record in no unmistakable terms as the first city to make an or ganized protect against the offer ten tatively presented by the railroad au thorities. It has been pointed out by those foremost in the fight that Char lotte having heretofore taken a prom inent part in the freight rate activities it is incumbent upon the city to have a large representation in Raleigh at the time of the mass meeting. A fail ure to do this will place the city in a position open to the charge of the railroads that the shippers of the state" are not interested in the pro posed reductions and are not demand ing them.
