Umberger returned - last ' nights from Salisbury, where he Trent : to attend, a meeting of the Lutheran - commission appointed : to consider propositions for the consolidation of Lenoir College, of IIickory,and Mt feasant Collegiate Institute, of Mt t Pleasant. Nothing ia, given out for , publication, but it is understood that the question lias been carefully, gone over and the result of the conference will be "withheld for the present, in fact the matter has not been definitely settled and further deliberation will j.. be required before any final decision "s. is reached in the matter. The Salis bury Post says: ?'The aim- of the '.. Lutheran people in North Carolina is to provide a' school system that will t 4 provide a real first class mate college ,.. at one place and real good female ' college at some other place in the ter- ntory of the State. The aim u, to build op this system at the earliest possible date. .With this in view the Lutheran . commission apointed by North Carolina' Synod is holding its second meeting in Salisbury today, '.'in St. John's church. Meeting with " the commission today are members of the boards of trustees of North Carolina College and Mont Amoena Seminary. Rev. B. . Brown, cbair i .-, man of the commission is presiding , over the meeting and the discussions , , are earnest and pointed. - It oahnot , , be stated with" ny degree of certain- jo Ity just ,what the commission will ac- eomplish but it is believed the wisest ; l course will be folowed. A few mem . bers of the Rowan Lutheran Pastor's ; ;' Association, M. B. Stickley, Esq.," of 'v Concord, and several others interested a re present at the meeting today. . - . The Lutheran - churoL has, from t . th beginning, been . an educational I hurch. ' She requires ait i educated f ' ministry and appreciates an educated laity, hence the stress : she always places on the education of the masses by the denominational schools and col- leges. This grows out of the pri; maiy principle of the Reformation--, Religious training and instruction shall constitute a part of the educa tion of every child and youth, ""l" GAtxifvm County BtmocliUc OonTen- At a meeting of the Democratic Ex ecutive Committee of Cabarrus Conn ,ty, held on ..the 4Hh day of April, 1910, it was ordered that the primar- ' ies be held on Saturday, June 25th, 1910, at 3 oslock p. m., in all town ships, except No. 12, and in the re spective wards of No. 12 township at 8 o'clock p.-m. - It was further ordeied that the County Democratic Convention be .held in Concord on Saturday,, July 2nd, 1910, at 1 o'clock p. m., for the purpose of electing delegates to the Judicial, Congressional and ; State Conventions, and for the purpose of nominating candidates for the Leg islatures and the various County of- flees.

General Assembly to Take Action la ) 'Bond Matter.-:'., Governor Kitehin issued yesterday evening a proclamation calling the North Carolina general assembly ce meet in extraordinary session June 14 to take action as to the impending $3,430,000 refunding bond issue to take care of bonds falling dne July 1, the necessity for a special session being the inability of the Council of State to market the 4 per cent re funding bond at this time in suffi cient quantities, nndor the reetrio tions of the legislative act, authoris ing them to meet the July bond obli gations. ' ' - I The proclamation of the governor follows: ; 4 'To the Honorable the General As sembly of North Carolina: "By, and with the advice of the council of state ,an extraordinary oc casion having arisen, I, W. W. Batch in, governor of the State of North Carolina, in exercise of the power conferred upon me by. the constitution of the state, do issue this, my procla mation, convening the general assem bly in extra session on Tuesday," the 14th day of June, 1910, at 11 o'clock, a. m., and I do hereby notify and re quest senators and members of the rlouse of Representatives of the gen eral assembly of North Carolina to meet in their respective hails in the eapitol in the City of Raleigh at said time for the purpose of considering an emergency resulting from the in ability of the state treasurer to sell, in accordance with chapter 399j public laws of 1909, entitled 'An Act to Authorise the Issue of State Bonds to Pay Off State Bonds Which Fall Due on the First Day of July, 1910,' suffi cient bonds to pay the present out standing bonds of issue of 1880, which mature .July 1, 1910, and of enacting legislation .to enable the state treas urer to' reserve sufficient funds . to pay said last mentioned bonds at their maturity. " . : "In witness whereof,' I have here unto set my hand and caused the great seal of the state to be affixed. - "Done in the City of Raleigh, this, the 3d day of June 1910. "By the governor. V . .. . "ALEX J. FIELD, ' ' ' - : 'Private Secretary." The question that confronts the leg islature is whether to increase the rate of interest on bonds to run for 40 years to 5 per cent., or to provide for rne money needed Dy oorrowmg pending the sale of bonds. There is still one chance that the call for an extra session may be re voked. Xhe banks of the State are to send representatives to Raleigh June 8 th for a conference as to means for tiding over the situation. If there be any results from this meeting it is said that the eall for an extra session will be revoked by the governor. , - Refused to be Vaccinated. - Four members of a family at Kan- napolis, who have been exposed to a' case of smallpox, refused to be vac cinated several days ago. The small pox ease was just across the county line in Rowan county. These people have sines moved to Kannapolis and when, they were' approached everal days ago by a physician tOyVaeeisate them they refused to w vaccinated. Dr. Wallace went up to Eannapolis this morning, accompanied by Sheriff Honeyeutt to vaccinate them. Two members of the family consented and werS vaccinated but the other two re fused to submit to the treatment. It is very probable .that a warrant will be eworn out for their arrest and if they still refuse to be vaccinated the case against them will be tried in eourt.r;r -;r:: :-.v Oomes; Out ' for, Bagwell. .' ; Perrin Bnsbee, of iRaleigh, is out in a stirring card in advocacy of L. C. Bagwell, of Raleigh -' as corporation commissioner to succeed the late B. F. Aycock, the place on the commis sion being filled until the election by H. C, Brown by apomLment of the governor. Mr. Busbee : accuses Air. Brown of shifting bis claims of place of residence to suit the place on the commission, for which he is running, being a western man, while he was out for the long term to succeed Mr. Rog ers and an eastern or central xnan la ter when -he decided to take up with the Aycock place on the commission. vHacs of Cenator Vacant. ; The news' that an extra session of the legislature ihad been called was of especial interest here, as the Senator from Cabarrus, Col. 1 auj is. Cleans, has died since the regular session ad journed. .

Missouri democrats of all" factions at "a dinner Thursday night heard for mer Governor Joseph . W. Folk an nounce the principles on which, it is said, he will seek the Presidential nomination in 1912. The dinner was id charge of men who have been pro moting the boom of the former gov ernor. "The doctrine of equal rights should be made a living, vital and on trolling force in the government," said Mr. Folk after he had listened to Democrats from all parts of the State tell the guests that the former Gov ernor should be indorsed for the Pres- ufannV. "The Democratic party,'.' continued Mr. Folk, should insist upon the stamping out of graft and corruption from every department of govern ment : the eradication of aU special favors, including bounties, subsidies and a tariff for any purpose other, than revenue. v "We need the honest, sincere en forcement of the laws we already have and the regulation of the, rates of public utility corporations upon a reasonable basis that justice may be done the people and a fair return for the amount actually invested by af forded. "On the subject of issues before the people former Governor said: "The great issue before the people of this country is, shall there be gov ernment by privilege for a . class, or government by the people for all t This is a question within parties as well as between parties. The -iRe-publican party is dominated by spec ial interests and operates with them upon a profit-sharing basis. We should not be oblivious -to the fact, however, that we have 'dnehes and Cannons in our own party and it is the duty of Democrats to 'lessen their influence as much as possible. ,. We cannot prevent some of them being in the party, but we should keep them from running the pirty. , "A crisis has been reached in the affairs of the nation. Pick op a news paper any day and you will find ao oounte of thievery and graft What does it meant Jb corruption becom ing a national disease ! Is there sojme- uuflg m our system "oi gwanuanut that encourages men to violate the commandment 'Thou ehalt not steal 1' 'Is not the government itself in a large sense to blame for this seem ing general disposition! Has not the example which the government sets in enriching a few by taking from all by means of the protective tariff been an influence for corruption f "With the example of the national government giving privileges to r few, there is encouragement . afforded all forms of 'graft, for all graft is based upon privilege. Officials are not brib ed to give equal rights to all but to confer upon the few , some privilege denied the many. The elimination of privilege is the fight confronting democracy.'' Davidson Commencement. The graduating class at Davidson College commencement this week num bered 59. Seven graduated with the degree of A. M., 23 with the degree of A. B. and 29 with the degree of B.

Ernest Thackerfl, formerly I Norfolk, now of the Southern General Assembly and secretary of evangelis tic work throughout its bounds. The degree of LL. D. was conferred on Cbancelor Dinwiddie, of the South western Presbyterian University, of Clarksville, Tenn. Sam Eory in Trouble in Greensboro. The Greensboro News has the fol lowing in regard to a former well known Concord negro: v Yesterday morning, sam iiury. a ne gro employed , at the Vanstory ta bles, became involved in a . quarrel with Frank Vanstory and proeeeaea to whip him. But Sam was evidently eonnting the strength of hie opponent only by his sixe, for he it small for 14, and .he was taken . by surprise when Frank drew out a tmie ana started toward him. One heavy slash, followed by another, came before they were separated and the negro was ta ken to a drug store, bowling and bleed ing like a hog. A doctor was quickly called in and necessary medical at tention was rendered, but it required 47 stitches to close op the two gashes a foot long each.

Present Force will Eventually be In creased to Cover Company's Whole System. V - In the near future there will be a ticket collector on every train of the Southern railroad, says the Atlanta Journal. A little more than a month ago the number of ticket collector's was increased to 75. Eventually it will be increased to 150 or more at least, enough to cover the entire sys tem. There is an impression that a big auditing company of New York has a contract to take up tickets on the Southern railroad guaranteeing : the road an increase of 10 per cent net revenue, on the average, and taking the balance over that as compensa tion. This impression is erroneous. The system was put in operation on May 1, 1908, beginning with 30 col lectors. It was a success from the first. The revenues of the Southern on passenger business increased as tonishingly. This increase has kept up steadily ever since, it is said. - Ticket collectors have increased the revenne of the Southern railroad chiefly by correcting irregularities and picking up loose ends. This is' em phasized by the officials. When the system was inaugurated most people construed it as a. reflec tion on the conductors. The conduc tors saw it in that light, too. Now this idea is changing. People are be ginning to realize that it was not the conductors who were cheating . the Southern, but the passengers. : All sorts of schemes have been devised to evade payment of railroad fare. Many were nipped in the bud by alert conductors, but most were missed. ' It is pointed out by the officials that before the ticket collection system went into effect a conductor had three different duties to perform. That is, the handling of his train, the takine of ticket and fares, and auditing of collections. If it came to a choice be tween looking out for the safe and prompt transportation of his train, or "laying" xor a qisnonest passen ger, he looked ont for the train which was what the company expected him. to do. ' , As a natural consequence, say the officials, the eopmany missed much revenue tbey-should have sot, simply because, with so many things to look after, the conductor could not make a clean sweep. But the ticket col lectors, with only that one thing to do, are sweeping mighty clean. -And by the same token, say the officials, the conductors, relieved of collections, are making things hum when it comes to keeping schedules and handling trains safely. Tried for Killing Each Other's Dog. Two men from Eannapolis, Luke Ball and J. O. Sherrill, were tried in 'Squire ritts s court tnis aiter- noon for kiling each other's dog. Sherrill owned a bull dog and Ball a hound. The two dogs got into a fight and from the evidence it seems that the hound -got 4he best of the bull dog, whereupon Sherrill killed the hound. This aroused the anger of Ball and he went to his home, got a shot gun and proceeded to reciprocate the treatment his dog received by killing the bull dog. They were both bound over to court under a $25.00 bond. Leaving bis automobile at the road side while he fished in Chiekiea Creek, M. E. Helfrich. of Manilla, Pa was summoned back by the "honk-honk ing", of its horn. A cow was chewing the shornV rubber bulb. : . . c ...
