Concord, N. O, February 22, 1911.
Tho appointments of Messrs. Odell
and Hoaae as special agents of the
United States abroad to stndy the cot
ton goods trade for the purpose of in
creasing the sale of American cotton
manufacturers will, we hope, prove to j
be a long step forward looking to that
end. Both are well fitted for the po
sition, and will have work in different
parts of the world where it is thought
our goods can be introduced or their
sales increased. We must seek for
eign markets for our cot ton goods, and
we hope, as a result of the appoint
ment of these two young men to see an
early and large increase in the amonnt
of such goods sold abroad.
It was a matter of surprise to the
friends of Senator Cotten's bill em
bodying the Torrens system of land
registration that the Senate commit
tee to which it was referred made an
adverse report on it. The minority
report has been set as a special order
for today. Notwithstanding the d
verse report of the committee it is be
lieved that the bill will pass. If it
does not pass, there will 'be a day of
reckoning " sure 's you 're born. ' ' Th
farmers and land owners want it, and
it will be a poorpolicy for the law
yers in the Legislature to oppose it.
SOUTHERN PATS DIVIDEND.
First on Preferred Stock Sine Octo

New York, February 19. The first
dividend to be paid on the preferred
atosck of the Southern Hallway Com
pany since October, 1907, ia to be dis
tributed on April 24, the directors of
th road having declared a dividend
of 1 pec cent. The payment is made
for no specific period, and President
Finlcy aeid it was tfe intention of the
tnanagement to maintain payment in
th future, although no information
was obtainable as to what yearly rat
wa contemplated.
Extensiv improvements, including
xpnsk of freight facilities at im
portant points, were authorised by the
board, and the president was empow
ered to take np the question of pur
chasing additional rolling stock.
Mr. Finley said that since details of
th improvement plana bod not been
completed he was not in a position to
state at what point changes would be
BeaamptioB of dividends on the pre
ferred stock wa mad possible by im
proved earnings of the road. Ia th
six months ending December 31 the
ne income increased $1,063,000 over
th corresponding period o fthe pre
ceding year, owing largely to the nigh
price of cotton. In all of 1907 the
company paid 4 per cent on its pre
tend stock, but at th tim of the
panie it susupended. Between 1902
and 1907 it paid 5 per cant annually.

for our street Sunday schools. Besides
this we gave every child an orange

receive a gift last year wa gave cloth

came from various sources mum
from interested foreigner here in

Sunday night I took several of the

the Christmas music. A number ol
selections from the Messiah, was rang
and done so beautifully that one
wanted to bear it over und over again.
There are some very gifted musicians

Christmas dinner aad Christmas eve.
As you know we bare many wealthy

and prominent patrons, A and every
now and then w are entertained in
their homes. I and two of tb girls
were invited to dinner with Mr, and
Mrs. T. C. Tong. Their daughter, Ky
ungZan,is a veryswectand attractive
girl, and seems to be rather fond of
me, hence the invitation. Mr. Tong
is a graduate-off Columbia University
and bas neld a very important place
in governmental circles ever since be
returned to China.' Their home is
quite foreign in all its furnishings.
Un Chnstma eve it looked very much
hk wealthy American house, and
as all the guests, twelve in number
spoke English the whole conversation
was in that tongue, Mr. Tong himself
using' th best of idiomatic English.
But th dinner I can't describe it,
but yon mast take my word for its
good looks and delicious taste. The
table wa loaded with flowers, fruits,
bon bona, etc, all served in handsome
cut glass and ilver. Besides the
steward there were three men-ser
vants in the dining room. Jnst aa we
sat down to the table a regular fuli
sade of. fireworks broke forth in an
adjoining room. A number of wines
were served but needless to say that I
and our girl turned down our glasses.
The evening was a very pleasant one,
and certainly was unlike anytLir I

under Christian management. Though
this institution was just opened at
this site last spring it is in good run

children in attendance. The industrial
department is only partially devel

that after boy or girls got started in
