ALL THE TIME Vol. 3. No. 2 ROCKINGHAM, N. C, THURSDAY Afternoon, DEC. 11, 1919. $1.50 PER YEAR TRAINS ANNULLED , , .s . . , On Account of Coal Shortage board j rorceo 10 v-ui on aevrai i rains, Elective Dec. 9th. The Seaboard AirjLine was on Tuesday forded to sbhul several of its passenger trains, and. this condition exists to an even great er degree on the roads out West. The southbound trains taken off are: No. 5 that was due to pass Rockingham at 6:27 a. rn. No. 31, due at 1:07, the Shoofly; No. 13 for Charlotte due at 8:53 p. m. Northbound: No. 14 due from Charlotte at 7:31 a. m., No. 34, Shoofly, due at 12:30 p. m. No. 6 due at 11:09 p. m. The only way a person can go to Charlotte now is on No. 19, the Wilmington-Charlotte train, due at Rockingham at 10:03 a. m. This gives a one-train service a day to the "Queen City." Or a j person could leave Rockingham at night on No. 11 at 10:11, go to Monroe and spend the night, and catch No. 15 out of ' Monroe at 8:10 a. m. Verify a coal strike works havoc on those wishing to "get somewhere." Coming from Charlotte, a train leaves there at 5 o'clock a. m. as! heretofore, and connects at Mon-; roe with No. 12, which passes Rockingham at 8:14. Also, ycui can leave Charlotte in the after-! noon on No. 20 and get to Rock-' ingham at 7:40 as heretofore; this, gives two ways to come from i Charlotte, as against one wav to , get there. Persons wishing to go north ward can catch No. 12 at 8:14 in the morning instead of the old No. 14 thai passed here at 7:31. Or you can leave here at 7:40 at night on No. 20 and connect at Hamlet with No. 2, the fast train, for points north Going south, you can catch No. ! 11, due here at 10:11, but now j running anywhere from an hour upwards, late; as noted above, i you can go to Monroe on this j train, spend night, and leave at : 8:10 next morning on the jerk water No. 15 for Charlotte. Preaching Sunday. Preaching will be at St. Paul's Sunday at 11, and at Steele's Mills at 3. Rev. D. E. Clark is j expected trom 1 nmty College to conduct the services.

Power Co., with which it is allied, i supplements its power when i water is short by auxiliary coal j plants at Raleigh and Goldsboro. Its water power recently has ; been so low that it had to resort j to steam, and for this reason it and the Yadkin River Power Co., were put on the restricted list. However, the rains of Monday and Tuesday seplenished the water-reserve and now enables both companies to furnish power entirely from water, thereby be- ing removed from this restricted class. - Teachers' Meeting.

Renewals and new sub-' strike is now ended. The miners jscriptions accepted at the old will return to work Friday. The increase is 14 per cent, which is I the amount agreed to by the owners. The restrictions will probably be continued for some time, as it will take quite a while for the mines to ttirn out enough coal to supply the demand. m Those Santa Claus Letters, Already the Post-Dispatch has received several dozen "Santa Claus" letters, in response to the invitation in last week's paper. These and other letters that may be received will be published in next week's issue. All letters must reach this office by Tuesday of next week at the latest. State your age and full name.

The Nation-Wide Campaign waged by the Episcopal Church for the past two months, closed ; last Sunday. The financial end j was a minor consideration, and j yet the $50,000,000 asked for was 'easily contributed by its mem- pcrs. The small congregation of the Rockingham Episcopal church responded to its allotment bv pledging the full amount, and nicely increasing the salary of its beloved rector, Rev. S. L. Rotter. During the Campaign the Wed nesday night prayer services were well attended, and the Sun day school has received an im petus; its average attendance numbers forty pupils now. "Come Along Mary."

Long, will mail out the tax questionnaires to the property owners of Beaver Dam township next Monday about 300 in number. These must be filled in and mailed to Mr. Whitlock at once. The supervisor expects to com plete the listing of Mineral Springs township (1000) next week. After Beaver Dam is completed the listing of the personal proper ty in the county will be begun. Instead of going over the county by townships, the supervisor will have dates for certain parts of the county, at which fime the taxpayers will come for..nd and list their personal property. Due notice of these dates will be pub lished later. School Gives $5.00. The Littles Mills School, Miss Flossie McLean, teacher, took a Thanksgiving collection last week for the Oxford Orphanage and the heat sum of $5.00 was for warded to Supt. R. L. Brown for the benefit of the little children there. This is a splendid way in which to impress upon the young children of the land the true spirit of "giving thanks," which might very well be followed by every school in the state. Mail Early. The old formula of "shop early" can be supplemented by "ship early." The curtailment of train service, and the consequent con gestion of mail facilities will make parcel post shipments un certain as to time of delivery. The best plan is to mail your Christmas parcels early and so avoid the rush. Cotton Market. The government at 2 o'clock this (Thursday) afternoon issued its forecast as to the amount of crop for the 1919 season, at 11, 030,000. This was about 200,000 more bales than the trade was looking for, and so New York futures broke about 90 points. Dec. lost 190 points today, Janu ary lost 175, March 170, May 136, Tuly 84. The close today was Dec.37.05, Jan. 35.30, March 32.95, May 31.22, July 30.26. The mills here are stocked with cotton, consequently W. T. Covington & Co. are not active buyers just now. Mr. Malloy is buying the street cotton, his price this morning before the afternoon decline of a cent being: good middling 38.00, strict mid dling 37.50, middiing 37.00, and on down for lower grades. Foreign Exchange today made new low record of $3.70 for pounds sterling, and francs to 11 1-2. Normally francs are 51-2 to the dollar, but now it takes 11 1-2 to make a dollar. 1 To Advertisers. Becaese of the increasing cost of all that goes to make up the expense of publish ing a newspaper, the POST DISPATCH is compelled to give notice that effectire Dec. 1st, the rate for dis play advertising is 25 cents per inch, and readers 10 cents per line. Contracts based on a minimum of 1560 inches a year will be made at 20 cents per inch with those merchants who desire same. I ARTHUR SAMSON BaPod Soloist with John W.
