IJeyival Meetings at Forest Hill, Central
and Epwcrth M. E. Churches With
Higiily Satisfactory Results.
TIk) past, week has been a per
iod of unusual spiritual refresh
ing in the Methodist Episcopal
branch of the Christian church
in. our midst.
At Forest Hill church the pas
tor, Rev. Mr. Hoyle, added 18'
members to the church on Sun
day. The meeting thus far has
resulted in about one hundred
-who have professod conversion
and are comforted by a new and
saving faith. The meeting is full
of intense interest. Hundreds
,. were turned away from the morn
ing and the evening services on
Supday for want of church ca
pacity. Services will continue this
week twice a day, at 8:30 a. m.
and 8 p. m. ' .
At Central church the pastor,
Rev. Mr. Fry, added 14 members
on Sunday. He is very much
gratmea at results, xiis enoris
were chiefly directed to the high
er spiritual attainments within
the congregation and he feels
that he has much for which to be
thankful The meeting will most
probably close with the services
.of tonight (Monday) but may con
tinue if the interest manifested
seems to demand or justify it.
At Epworth church the inter
est, though a little apathetic at
fifirst, is now, at a very satifactory
. stage. Fifteen seekers professed
spiritual enhghtment and hope
ful conversion on Sunday night.
The meeting will continue this
week. Pastor Barrett is expect
mg assistance in the work.

The young ladies of Concord,
met with Miss Laura Leslie Sat
urday afternoon, Sept. 22nd- to

officers were chosen at this meet
ing, Miss Mabel Means being
elected President and Miss Net
tie Allen, Vice President. The

Concord Ahead.
Mr. M L 'Buchanan, referring
to the claim of Raleigh's new
ginnery and its pitting out a bale
m 15 minutes says tho Concord
Cotton Seed Oil Company beats
that and does not havo to have
Butler as a citizen. He ginneda
bale Saturday in 12 minutes, by
his watch that weighed 490
pounds. This puts Concord up
head. -

CONCORD, N. 0. MONDAY,. SEPTEMBER 24, l00.
Negotiations Slow-Germany's Tonus
Not Airreed To Two JliliUry Afov?-
nents Taking Chinese Forts.
.Negotiations for peace .in
China drag sl'owly toward a so-
lution. Germany will doubtless
have to abandon Emporor Wil
i
, liam's plan to kill off Chinese
, leaders who are responsible for
the troubles.
The, United States will not
agree but will accord to China
as to other nations the prerog
ative of arraigning these offend
ers before Chinese courts for
punishment.
Prince Cning and Li Hung
Chang are recognized as author
ized agents of the 'Chineso gov
ernment. So far as our govern:
went is concerned tnere seems
little in the way of laying down
the conditions of peace to the
Chinese.
There have been two fights frf
some importance recently. Fif
teen hundred British and Ameri
cans on the 16th attacked the
Boxers at Pei Ta Chu, called the
Eight Temples, 12 miles west of
Pekin. The enemy was com
pletely surprised and 50 were
killed without loss to tho allies.
Four thousand Russians and
Germans attacked tte forts at
Pei Tang on the 20th at daylight.
They thought they had the enemy
bagged but the Chinese fire be
came weak and then ceased. Tho
cause was found to bo that the
3,000 Boxers escaped in open
daylight in boats to the chagrin
of tho allies. Dispatches say too
that 25 of tho fatter were blown
up by Chineso mines. Tho Chi
neso losses were very small.
iJeforo the Justice.
Mr, J Ed. Henderson was be
fore Magistrate Pitts this morn
ing charged with an assault on
Bill Lee. Submitted and paid
the cost.
Jack Morris col., also appeared
before 'Squire Pitts to answer to
three charges of larceny. He
was found guilty and will remain
in Concord at tho Cabarrus Ho
tel until Superior court convenes.
