" AT COLD BPRUCQS CHUECH.
rirst Service U ths Eandsoaw Hsw
Brick Edifice One of ths Bast
Churches ii ths State. ; j "
The handsome and eommodioua
brick church recently erected by the
Methodist . congregation of Cold
Springs was formally opened yester
day with two services, morning and
afternoon, both of wh'th were con
ducted by the pastor, Rev. N. R, Rich
ardson. Practically the entire mem
bership of the church was present to
gether with a number of visitors from
other denominations, and several froni
Concord.
The church ia of brick and is built
of the best of materials along the
lines of the most modern architecture,
having a seating capacity sufficiently
large to amply take care of the needs
of the congregation and community.
The church is located in a magnificent
oalc grove consisting of fifteen acres
and nearby ia one of nature's most
delightful gifts a spring of cold wa
ter, the fame of whioh ia known far
and wide, and it ia from this the
church was named.
Cold Springs church is by far the
handsomest country church ever built
by a Methodist congregation in Ca
barrus county and few, if any, hand
somer churches can be found in the
country anywhere in North Carolina.
The ediflo-. reflects not only great
credit upon the congregation of Cold
Springs but npon Cabarrus county
and throughout its future history will
prove one of that section's most val
uable assets.
Nowhere is there to be found a more
loyal or earnest congregation of work
ers than at Cold Springs church and
to this fact, coupled with the never
tiring zeal and energy of the pastor,
Rev. N. R. Richardson, is due the
erection of the church. When it was
first considered to build a church as
modern and commodious as the one
just finished there was a feeling among
a number of the congregation that
they were not able to assume such a
task, but after considering the mat
ter thoroughly they decided to build
the church. They went about the task
with an enthusiasm and a unity of
purpose that soon accomplished great
results and under the guiding hand
of Mr. Richardson the building was
soon a reality.
Yesterday was a great day for Cold
Springs church, marking an epoch in
its "great history and vity will now no
doubt increase its powers and con
tinue through the years to come to be
even a greater and more vital force
for good in the community.

ATTUR THB BOLL WEEVIL,
Bontbera XaUvaj to Advise Fanners
How to Kaiatsim Cottoi Production
Under Boll Weevil Conditions. I
Waabingttm, D.d, August 7.-Pra-
ident Finley, of. tie-Southern Railway
Company, realising the possibility of
the further spread of the Mexican
cot ton boll weevil the eastward, is
taking steps to advise farmers in the
territory akmg the lines of the South
ern Railway Company, Alabama Great
Southern Railroad Company, the Mo
bile ft .Obi Baitread Company, and
the Georgia Southern and Florida
Railway Company in localities to
wbieh there ia even a remote possi
bility that the weevil may spread, as
to the methods tfoai must be adopted
fcr maintaining cotton production un
der the boll weevil condition. Far
mers west of the;. Mississippi river,
where the weevil has been present for
several years, nave learned how to
grow cotton successfully in spite of
it presence. ' Thej have learned this
lesson generally at the cost of short
crops for two or three years. In the
fall of last yea President Finley or
ganized a Cotton Culture Department,
in charge of Mr. T. 0. Plunkett, with
headquarters at Ohattinoogo, Tenn.,
with seven field agents to work in
those localities where it is possible
thiat the weevil may eventually ap
pear. Mr. Plunkett and all the agents
of this department have had practi
cal experience in -the growing of cot
ton mider boll weevil conditions. All
of tBie expenses of tlhe Cotton Cul
ture Department are born by the
participating railways and the ser
vices of its agents aire absolutely free
to all farmers along the lines of these
railways.
The work of this department has
been so successful and the services
of its agents have been so highly ap
preciated by the f mers that Presi
dent Finley has determined to extend
the work further eastward.
Fortunately, the cultural methods
advised by" the Cotton Culture De
partment are identically those which
the late Dr. S. A.Knu.pp, of iho Unit
ed States Agricultural Department,
recommended for increasing the pro
duction of cotton "whether the weevil
be picsent or not. Farmers through
out the cotton belt will, therefore,
find it profitable teVadopt .these meth
ods, even though tfhe weevil may nev
er spread to their farms.
As a further step in aid of the
work of the Cotton Culture Depart
ment, President Finley tas prepared
a circular letter incorporating Dr.
Knapp's adviee which is toeing dis
tributed to farmers in all cotton grow
ing territory along the lines of the
railways a'bove mentioned, farmers
along the lines of these Companies

Plenty of Showers,
Washington, Aug. 6. Cool weather
will continue throughout th ' present
week and local sliovvers will be nu
merous, accord i'nj; to the forecast is
sued by the weather bureau tonight.
The forecast savs :
"The distribution of atmospheric
pressure as shown by the weather
map of the northern hemisphere is
such as to indicate that itlhere will
be no unreasonably warm weather in
any part of the country during the
coming week, and temperatures will
average near or below the normal
generally. The precipitation during
the week, will be local, but fanny
well distributed over the greater part
of the country from the Rocky moun-
taans to the Atlantic. coast. The pnn
eipal barometric depression to cross
tho country during tho week is now
forming over tlhe western plateau re
gion; it will cross the middle West
about Wednesday and tbe Eastern
States Friday or Saturday."

OOTTOIT CHOP OUTLOOK
SOMEWHAT DABKE1TED,
BoQ Wetvfl, Army Worm and Cater
pillars Are Getting ia their Deadly
Work.
Memphis, Tenn Aug. 6. Tbe com
mercial Appeal tomorrow will say:
Crop reports are less uniformly
favorable than heretomore. Excessive
rain has fallen in the Mississippi Val
ley States and in Oklahoma, while
North and South Carolina have suff
ered from drought and shedding. Boll
worms, army worms and caterpillars
have appeared in many countries in
Texas, Mississippi and Alabama and
the excess of moisture for the season
makes some of the planters fear rust
and blight and an excess of plant
growth. These conditions make the
situation rather lees satisfactory, but
the outlook is still excellently, as the
damage from these troubles has not
been heavy.
The plant has grown large and
seems very healthy in all States save
the droughty districts of the two Car
olines and a little portion of northern
Texas. It has taken fruit well and
if the present crop set on the stalk
is matured the yield will be a large
one.
Picking lias been delayed by the
abundant moisture supply and the
crop will not move as early as expect
ed in the central and eastern States
for this reason.
Boll weevil damage has been very
slight up to the present and the crop
in tbe infested districts promises to
turn out well.
A gradual return to dry, warm
weather is desirable.
