Durham, now pastor of Trinity church, and oho of the best equipped of the younger men in the ministry of tlio church, will not take work next year, but will take a position on the staff of the Charlotte Observer. This is so. far only a rumor, but so rife as to be common talk. An effort to ver ify this report was fruitless, yet that there is such a thing on foot was not denied, though details, if any, are lacking. This will cause a ripple of Interest all over the state, as Mr. Durham is well known as an able and Interesting writer and pulpit speaker. ;i Boundurlos and History of Con ference.

At that time Representative John Sharp Williams of Mississippi, will probably again be' chosen minority loader, and it is expected that few changes will be made In the party per sonnel of otltcers, Mr. Floyd will again be whipped.
