There were great things at the Easter services in Christ Church yesterday. At the main service of the day at 11 o'clock it was with difficulty that the ushers could find seats for all who sought admittance into that beautiful edifice. The Eas ter joy felt by this congregation was intensified by the return of their beloved rector Rev. Dr Marshall who was present and with his as sistant Rev Mr Weston, took part in the services. The altar and chaccel were a mass of Calla and Easter lillies exquisite cut flows and growing plants all typifying the return of the great feast of the Resur rection. The music which has already been published in our columns was in harmony with the spirit of the day and it seemed at times as though the very gates of heaven were being stormed with the jubilant strains of rejoicing anthems and ecstatic alleluias. Rev Mr. Weston preached, his sermon being an able exposition of the lessons to be drawn from the Resurrection. The services closed with the Holy communion at which Rev Dr Mar shall was celebrant.

The city and county authorities are consider ing the proposition made to them by the Southern Railway company to locate their terminus here. The company is ready to go to work at once to build the necessary side tracks and station buildings as soon as the municipal authorities agree to make the stipulated changes in the two streets that cross the track. The course of Washington street will have to be changed and a slight beod made in Highland avenue, and bridges must be built over the tracks at both crossings. The new terminal will bring from 500 to 700 people here and it is estimated that these will spend $100,000 of-tbeir wages in Greenville. The concensus of opinion here is that the proposition made by the railway Company be accepted as made. It is liberal and will entail no serious difflulty on the part of the city. The aldermen and the super visor seem to be a little conserva tive in the matter, but there is no doubt that they will act wisely in the matter. The public want the terminal, for it will add to the im portancs of the city, to the popula tion and to the taxable value of its property. The changes in the streets will in themselves afford a remedy for two dangerous crossings and should be made in any event. Receiver for North Carolina. Following upon the appointment of receiver for the Southern Build ing and Loan Association by the Chancery Court, of Tennessee at Knoxville, Judge Geo. H. Brown, Jr., at Chambers in this oity has on petition of certain local stockholders appointed L. P. Mc- Loud temporary receiver for the as sets of the Association in North Carolina. The order directs the As sociation to chow cause on May 1, why the receivership should not be made permanent. Mr. J J Rogers has returned from Onslow county where he spent a waek fishing in New River. Sport was plentiful, and Mr. Rogers who ia'an expert angler enjoyed his out ing most pleasantly. Mr. Rogers is looking much improved in health. . M UPSF Cotton Drops and Wheat Takes a Leap. BEARS GREAT LOSSES Millions Dropped Both Greece and Tur key Will Sell Their Cotton and Create a Demand for Wheat and B.ead Stuff. New York, April 19. The grain markets are rctive and excited this morning owing to war news. In the produce exchange may wheat was offered at 821, an advance of five cents since Saturday's close. It is expected that it will go higher There is dealing on an unusual large scale. Bulls are in supreme con trol of the market. There are heavy purchases to cover "short" con tracts; bears loses are up into the millions. The stock market opened in a de pressed manner this morning due to war news and the disquieting condition of the London market. Cotton was affected, advices from abroad causing a falling of nineteen points from Saturday's close. As stated in our letter the war fron tj 'evant will dominate all the markets for the present. The buy- ng of wheat by the foreigners was on a tremendous scaleand was based evidently on a tip of the formal declaration of war against Greece Dy Turkey. Owing to the continued observance of the Easter holidays, the markets at London and Liver pool remain closed today but in view of the war there is no doubt that all the operators there will be at their offices and utilize our marl ets to protect their interests. They will undoubtedly be heavy sellers of stocks and equally as heavy sellers of cotton and buyers of wheat. Ger many and Russia prompted the Sul tan to declare war which has prac tically been going on since last Fri day. The thing now to watch Is the attitude of the powers, as theaggres- siveness of one orthe other helping either Greece or Turkey might dis turb the peace of Europe. As far as our country is concerned we will not be affected to any extent by war, as our trade with both Turkey and Greece according to Secretary Sher man has not exceeded $500,000 an nually. Later it would benefit us as both countries would make a de mand upon us for food products and munitions of war. For the present it is bearish on stocks and cotton.

W hat the Order In Doing 1 bruugtiout thin State. Petitions for four new Lodges are now being considered. Talula Lodge at Cary is making preparations for a nice time at the celebration of the auniversary. The Grand Secretary isited Tar River Lodge at, Spring Hope last week and aroused a lively interest in the order. We regret to learn that Bio. fl. H. Beer, of Mount Airy, has seen fit to leavj North Carolina aud emi grate to Iudiana. The proceedings of the last an nual session of the Sovereign Grand Lodge has been received aud is be ing sent to the Lodges by ourGrand Secretary . The Board of Trustees of the Or phan Home will hold a session at the Home this week and will inspect the new building which is now about completed. The Lodge Weekly has acomiruni cation from Bro. W. W. Yopp in this week's issue, in which he says all four of the Lodges there are having plenty of work. We are certainly glad to know that Capitol Lodge is beginning to put on its war paint, it is a live one when it starts out. Look out No. 8 and 64 The outlook for a nice growth of the Order this year was never more promising than now, and if we do not accomplish it the fault will be our own. Brother, don't get on your high horse because you may not get things your way. Your way may be the best way, but people will surely find it out sooner by your continuance in pursuing it than by kicking up a dust so they fail to sec it. An Odd Fellow cannot be envious nor selfish if he bo strictly orthodox in his life and dealings, but we sometimes think possibly it is not selfish to want what some one else has, if to get it we strangle cor sciencejust a little. It is so easy to see right in a thing that suits us. Seaton Gales No. 04, conferred the first degree upon three young men Friday night. This Lodge has three elected for initiation also. Zeb. Vance Lodge at Henderson has invited Grand Representative, W. C- Doughlass to deliver the ad dress on the anniversary; we con gratulate them on their selection, and can assure them ofa fineuddrcss if he accepts. CIRCUS GOING Stirred upa Warm Debate ot Mecklenburg Presbytery. There seems, iudging from the Gatonia Gazette, to have been a warm debate over circus going in the Presbytery that met at Gaston ia last week It seems says the Charlotte News that the Pineville church in an overture set forth that rumors were current that certain ministers, together with office-bea ers aud mcm- oers of the church had attended the circus ana that in view of this it asked for a deliverance from the Presbytery upon the evil complain ed of." This was referred to a special committee, that made a red. hot report, stating that it "has been the invariable and oft repeated de claration of all our church courts from session to General Assem bly running through several generations that indulgence in such amusements either bv at tending them personallyor affording them aid, encouragement, or comfort in any way is utterly inconsistent with the Christian profession and a most palpable and flagrant violation of church vows; that members of the church so indulging expose; tbem selves unquestionably to '. : sjvetv censure and discipline ofi'-.echui-ch; that indulgence in such amusement is a sad evidence of either an unrc generated heart or a deadened con science;" and pronouncing the se verest condemnation on such'am.'isc ments. Many ministers protested against the resolution as entirely too harsh, and the Presbytery simply-affirmed former utterances on the subject. ' Open to All - While the municipal campaign is growing warm arid interesting, the Press-Visitoe desires to say that, while not taking part in -the contest, its columns are open to discussion and it will be glad' to devote a rea sonable amount of space each day to respectful communications bearing upon the issues of he day. 111 OlAllillfi Minor Matters Manipulated for the Many.
