The D. J. Bostian Mercantile Com pany, which until a few months ago operated a store here, made an as signment today for the benefit of the creditors. Mr.' M. B. Stickley was made the assignee. For many years Mr. Bostian operat ed the Racket Store here, and did good business. He Started with a $27 stock, and built up an excellent busi ness. Three years ago, feeling the re suit of keen competition, he left Con cord and moved to' Fayetteville, or ganizing the D. J. Bostian Mercantile Company. He remained in Fayette- vlle for two years, his business not being satisfactory. In February, 1909, he moved his business back to Con cord, and occupied the room next to the Hr L. Parks & Co. He conducted the business here for a year with ill success, and in February of this year moved his stock out and stored it. Mr. Bostian was born nad reared in Concord, and he was has the deep BvmDathv of everybody. He is an honest, upright and energetic man and as a business man and a citizen has been worth much to Concord. Nearo Women Hare a Jamboree, Some of the negro women of the city have organized what they call a "ladies society." The society held one of its regular meetings at Mack Borer's hall on Chestnut street bat urday night. After the business of the meeting had been concluded the members proceeded to have a festival One Cora Allison, a member of the so ciety, became offended at some of her sister members and lett the meeting. She later returned while the festival was eoiwr on. in a high state of mtox ication and proceeded to cuss ont the meeting, the member of the festival and everything that had lately trans pired. She was ejected from the room end later locked up by the police. Just before the close of the festival Mag Pierson accused one of her sister mem bers. Rose Ooodman, of trying to med die in the affairs of her and one of her lovers. Rose denied the charge but this evidently did not satisfy Ma?, as she nulled forth a razor from h'er Losom and proceeded to do a fancy stunt on one side of Rose 's lace, erne was given a hearing in the Recorder's court this morning and lined $k.uu. Cora Allison was fined $14.00 for beinflr drunk and using profane lan guage. Schoolboy Rivalry. Charlote Chronicle. A son of Mr. John B. Sherrill, editor of the Concord Times, recently grad iiated from'the graded school at the age of 17 years. He entered the school when he 'was six years old and made the remarkable record of not having been tardy, or not missing a day in all that time. Statesville is hoping to present a parallel case. The Land mark, talking for its town, says ."Henry Nicholson entered the first grade of the Statesville graded school and has progressed to the seventh without missing a day. If good for tune fafors Henry he will graduate with a record equal to that of the Con cord young man." Good health to young Nicholson! We hope he will "tie" young Sherrill 's record. These two bovs have set an example for the youth of the State to live up to, but any boy who makes up his mind, can do it for, listen pretty nearly one hundred per ent. of the "sick" ab sences from school are mere shams. Mr. Campbell at Central Church. Rev. W. G. Campbell, of the Jack son Training School, occupied the oulolt of Central Methodit church yesterday Krning in the absence of Mr. uurbam at the estate university. Mr. Campbell preached from the text: ' "I have come that ye might have life, and that ye might have it more abun dantly." It was an excellent sermon, one for thoughtful minds, and yet so simple that a child could understand. , Mr. Campbell was formerly pastor of St. James Lutheran church here, and a number of his former members were 1 present yesterday, to hear him. ,-, I '.

The second bids for the 3,430,000 refunding forty year 4 per cent bonds to take up bonds falling due July were opened by the State Treasurer at Raleigh Saturday and it -was found that there were bids for only $1,195,- 000 of the issue as compared with $1, 765,000 that were bid for on the first date for the bond sale, May 18, when all bids were rejected. This time the bids ranged in batches from $1,000 to $200,000, whereas there was one $500,000 bid at the first effort to sell the issue. The $500,- 000 bid was by the New Life In surance Company and was not renew ed. The Council of State was in ex ecutive session all afternoon consider ing the situation, a number of the prominent bankers and other business men being with them in confidential conference. Late in the evening an nouncement was made that the bids opened are accepted and that addi tional bids are on hand running up the sale to $1,218,500. The bids in hand leave $2,211,500 of the issue to be taken care of in some extraordinary way. Several methods of extracting the administra tion from the embarrassing dilemma are being suggested although the Gov ernor and Council of State are not talking. One is the calling of the Gen eral Assembly in extia session either increase the rate of interest above the 4 per cent provided so as to effect the sale in the ordinary way, empower the Treasurer to exchange new bonds for the old, or authorize some other means of tiding the State over the difficulty until there can be permanent adjustment at the next reg ular sesion in January. Another is to sell all the bonds that are now bid for or for which bids can be secured be fore July 1 to redeem those bonds that are presented for collection and to borrow money to take care of the lest until the regular session of the As sembly. This is believed to be the policy decided on by the council. There is a suggestion that the State could get money on the railroad bonds the State owns as security or effect other financial arangements that would save the State the $25,000 or more expenses of an extra session of the Legislature.

Has Invented Moving Pictures Their Natural Colors. in Thomas A. Edison, the "electrical wizard,' said Saturday that he has succeeded in producing a moving pic- 'twre photographing machine which will take pictures in their natural col ors, the expetiments showing such re sults as to warrant the inventor say ing that almot any day would see its perfection. "While color photography is not new by any means," said Edison, "its difficulty for just ordinary landscape pictures is such that only a few ex perimenters care to use the Lumiere plates, and even in the hands of the experts the results are indifferent, 'I am also working o na machine which will reproduce the pictures as well as the moving-talking-pic(ure machine. I know that there are some on the market, but none of them are any good. There s no synchronism between the pictures and the talking. Just think of having a picture colored true tft nature, with the action and talking clearly reproduced. "I've had Mr. Lumiere here. He stayed with m ea couple of days and was satisfied with what I have done." Mr. Edison was asked what was the principal invention needed by the human race and which had not been invented. "I am no prophet," he replied, and do not care to answer that ques tion. Let 's rather talk of what we have done." "Do I intend to write a bookt Not on your life. I have not written any thing for 20 years, except an article the other day for a friend who runs an electrical magazine. The only thing 1 write now are autographs." Mr. John Means Home on Furlough.

Try It. Champ Clark on the President. "It is a great pity for the Presi dent," said Champ Clark, of Missou ri, in his recent speech in the House, ''that lie was influenced in his opin ions on the tariff question by Senator Aldrich and Representative Payne, the Republican floor leader. It would have been a great thine: for Mr. Taft if he had vetoed the Payne-Aldrieh tariff bill. It would Lave added much to his usefulness now and more to his fame in the days to come. That mas terful man, Charles Stewart Paruell, once said : " 'Opportunity is a horse, bridled and saddled, which stops at each man's threshold once in a lifetime. Be ready, mount and he carries you on to success and honor. Pause an, instant, he is gone, and the clatter of his iron hoofs echoing down the corridors of time will forever remind you of what you have lost.' "The golden opportunity of writing his name among the country's great est benefactors came to President Taft on the 5th day of August. 1909." said Mr. Clark. "He let it eo bv un improved, and it will never Teturn to liim as long as grass grows or water runs. It is rumored that Hon. R. M. Doug las will be a candidate before the Re publican State convention for the nomination of chief justice of the Su preme Court. 8!
