One of them, said that from Mr. 1'rark Teeter 'a to tha Meeklen. . burs tine the road is praciically im- - ratsauld"wben traveling in a machine. This part of the road ia about 3 1-2 miles in length. party of tourist . were making a triii over the National Highway and their, machine stopped in one of tha numerous boles. It is said that they were compelled to take about all of the planks off of a bridge nearby in order to prise the machine out oi the nolo. V i ' Mecklenburg is working its .chain gang on this road and will soon reach the Cabarrus line. This road ia part of tha National Highway and one of the main throughfares " leading into the eity, and is traveled not only by great numbers of citizens of that part of; the county, who compose one of Concord's main sources of trade, but by. large anmbere of tourists from ev ery' section of the country, and the commissioners can ill afford to neglect it. This eeetioB of the road ia a re flection on the county's road eyatem, as it is not in keeping with the othi main roads of tba county. 'The m tion of the road from the creek at the depot to Silver 3211 is also ia bad condition and machines and wagons have difficulty in crossing large boles. Honor Boll of "VThitt C3 IJhaol fat , .

Mr. MaeLaughlin ia a vigorous and enter taining speaker, and a man who doi some thinking before be speaks. Mr. MaeLaughlin took as the basis for his remarka Bishop Vincent's definition of a Sunday school, as follows t "A department of church work where the word of Christ is taught for the pur pose of building up souls in Christ and bnnginr souls to Christ." Mr. MaeLaughlin said the Sunday school wss not a separata institution but a depart metu of church work, an arm of the church, one method of carrying on tha work of the church for the saving of souls. He said if the Sunday school existed for any other purpose than to build up souls in Christ and to bring souls to Christ, it is simply unnecessary baggage of tba church. Tba Sunday School ia not a children's school but a place for all the soula to be built ty Those who think they are too old to attend it, need its help the worst. It is for men, women aad children of all ages. Ev ery member of the church should be is the Sunday school in order that they may be omit up in Christ. Mr. MaeLaughlin spoke of the great need of Sunday School teachers. The teacher ' should be a member of the church and a Christian. - -No uncon verted man or woman should, be plac ed over a Sunday School class.

Southern BaUway passenger trains between .Washington and .the south will begin using the double track low grade line through Lynchburg, Va., on Sunday, April loth, freight trains have been operated over this line for several weeks and the beginning of passenger service will mark the full use of this very remarkable piece of railroad improvement. : ; .. The revision through Lyncbburr, Vs- wss begun nearly Ave years ago and has involved an entire change of una for seven miles, a double track on ver favorable grades, taking' the place of the old single track. A steel bridge 1,860 feet long and 150 feet high over the James river and a tun nel 1300 feet long under Rivermont, suburb of Lynchburg, are the princi pal features of the improvement whieh will greatly facilitate, the hand ling of. freight-and passenger traffle to and from all parts of the South. The old line : will be retained for local-; freight ;' and passenger-service. this .being- in accordance witbvjui wishes of the citizens of Lynchburg.

Tal-.Way 8ugiwjtei to C- It UU This Tenttery Ooaccrd Seito for Sal- isbvy-Kaaroa loa AdvocaUd. To the Editor of the Charlotte Ob server: -.- ' f v While everybody is having a rail road surveyed through their farms. with a depot promised as any point they wish, it may wot be inappropriate to make uggestioas, and aaewing the desire of The Observe to foster the best ' interest of ibis community, I take tba I'tSerty of turgesting a few thoughts viich, as I ee,af they could be carried out weald be-werth a treat deal more to Charlotte and the sur rounding eountry the some -of the ideaa which are now wevailing. - Js-very man of buaineas who it at all posted knows the great advantages wbiea any community '-denves by hav ing tba Norfolk eV Western Railroad system come to their place,-. This sys tem haa a weU-oarned reputation of being the most libera and .ap-to-date system of any one touching our sec tion. It is well knows by all patrons of this system that the mety compos ing in management in fact believe that in truth and success is dependent upon the feo-operstion' of its patrons with its item, and there- fore they never lose I opportunity of standing by the and places which contribute to the support of the system. ft -' Tour readera hove already been in formed that of tber owa motion they have reduced the PCKMnrer farce on the Southbound road (within the last few- daya.'.iviMW4 iU:. Now the management of the pro posed line from Salisbury to Monroe have shown a great deal of good judg ment and a lot of hard work on their proposition and aheyf certainly de serve a great deaY of Vredit for what they have donejjjnd .altbough I do not uve on the proposed: line, still I think they are entitled to success, but even after the road fa built it will require a lot of patronage to support it and- pat operating axpensee. One thing more, asU am Informed, the men behind the proposition of the road from Salisbury to Monroe could fulfill every one of their promises bv bringing the road from "Salisbury to C-oaeasd- tbeiwe.-mntfeasaatf thence to Monroe. Of course this would add a few miles to its length, but -possibly the line could be built just as cheaply from Salisbury by way or Concord to Mount Pleasant as it would be from Salisbury direct to Mount Pleasant. Charlotte needs the Norfolk Western ystem just as badly as any other city, and I imagine that this system will not be averse to going to Charlotte, if. its management would see any profit in it. If this line was built from Lexington to Salisbury and the forces of the Salisbury and Monroe people would join bands with the Norfolk tc Western and bring the line to Concord, then to Mount Pleas ant, it would be an easy matter to eet a line from Concord- to Charlotte and this would be the solution of the old cry of Charlotte .and Durham, for then they would only have to build a connecting-Knk from Troy to Munt connecting link from Troy to Mount If this plan could be carried: out, then it certainly would pay Salisbury, China Grove, Landis, Kannapolis, Concord and Charlotte to get behind the proposition; and Monroe' could not compiain, Because it would - in, crease her railroad facilities greatly. . These ideas sre thrown out for thr, consideration of the public and for whatever they are worth. B Concord, March 28.
