Predict Democratic Landslide.
Columbus. O., Nov. 9. Basing his
opinion upon the results in Massa
chusetts, Kentucky land Ohio, and
other points where Democratic can
didates were elected yesterday, Gov
ernor Judson Harmon today predict
ed a national Democratic landslide
next year.
"The results of these elections
have pleased ma very much," he said,
"and I consider them a forecast of
what is to come next year. It & tha
strongest indorsement of Democracy
that has been tendered by voters in
'. recent year. .. Not only local elections
do I consider significant bnt also th
lection in Kentucky, Massachusetts

Ohio show unquestionably that th
nublie is pleased with the present

Bishop Host, wfcil conducting tb de
votional service at th opening of th
second day's Minion of tb Western
North Carolina Method 1st conference,
emphasised, among other thing, the
fact that a revival of tb singing of
tb old hymns of Methodism is very
mneh needed. He aaid further that
Methodism ia rich in hymns, whereas
(be makes herself poor. Ho recom
mended as a good plan th holding ser
vice of song occasionally on Sunday
evening when th old hymns of 'Meth
odism shall be sung. This service, he
said, would fa especially advisable
when tb preacher has no sermon rea
dy. He requested this morning that
conference sing "Jesus, Lover of My
bouL" saying when be announced the
hymn: "I want to select something
that you can sing." I
The bishop and presiding elders
hol a meeting of the cabinet every
afternoon, and as yet not many
leaks" have occurred which may be
taken seriously, and a a rule these
do not occur before Friday or Saturday.
The representative church which the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South,
expects to erect at an early date in
Washington city was presented to the
conference as a special interest of the
the church today. Rev. George S.
Sexton, D. D., of Texas, who is the
special representative of the chnrch
in this matter, was the first speaker,
and he was followed by Bishoy Kil
go and Bishop Hons, both of whom
ai'e members of the charge. It was
shown to the conference that the in
tention of the church is to erect a
church building in the Capital City
of tho United States at a cost o f
$375,000, and that $307,000 of this
amount has been subscribed upon
the condition that the remaining
amount be secured. Dr. Sexton re
quested this conference to. contribute
$o,000 to this enterprise.
Rev. James Cannon, D. D., who is
the superintendent of the Southern
assembly, oi' Chautauqua, which the
church is establishing near Waynes
ville,, addressed the conference in
that interest. He said that his re
marks to this conference 'would need
to be changed from those be makes to
conferences outside of North Caro
lina, because be felt suns that it
would not be necesary to use any ef
fort to convince a conference in this
stat that Waynesville is the proper
location for the assembly. Ho said
the assembly would not be opened
until the summer of 1913, on ac
count of the many plans to be carried
out before the opening, hut that lots
would be on sale in the spring of
1912.
It is probable that two districts will
be eliminated. Waynesville and North
Wilkesboro. This will leave ten dis
tricts the same number that the North
Carolina Conference has.
Tweleve young men will ask for ad
mission into the conference: J. W.
Combs, W. B. Davis, C. E. Dupont,
A. C. Gibbe, F. A. Hawley, J. A.
Holmes, J. E. MoSwain, J. A. Marr, J.
W. Puett, W. K. Shelton, W. a. West
and G. W. Williams.
Bishop Hoss states that the West
ern north Carolina conference is
rich in missionaries: S. A. Stewart
in Japan, J. R. Moose, M. B. Stokes
and W. G. Cram in Korea, besides na
tive helpers in many "fields. This con
ference raised for missions last year
$70,705.32.
U. B. Coltran made report oi tne
commission appointed by last confer
ence to confer with like commission
from the North Carolina Conference
as to the consolidation of th North
Carolina Christian Advocate and The
Raleigh Christian Advocate, the or
gans of the two conferences. Tb com
mission met in Greensboro last Feb
ruary and the report is that th time
is not rioe for tb consolidation.
Thus ends for a season a matter that
has been discussed for some time. Rev.
H. M. Blair, who has been editor" of
The North Carolina Advocate for ten
veers, ia recommended for reappoint
ment. Rev. W. L. Sherrill asks to be
relieved as assistant editor. The Ad
vocate has had a successful year, an
increase in every department, The sub

Washington, D. C, Nov. 10. A re
markable leeord for maintaining pub
lished schedules ia ahowa by th per
formance of ten of the Southern Rail
way' trains, considered most Import
sat on account of tba heavy travel
over them aa well as on account of
rapidity of schedule and the distance
traversed: the "Carolina Special,"
considered for th two hundred days
fiom April 1st to October 17th, and
the "Memphis Special," the "Bir
mingham Special", the "New York,
Atlanta and New Orleans Limited"
(Nos. 37 snd 38), and the United
States Fast Mail" (Nos. 35 and 36),
considered for the six months ending
October 16th.
Out of an aggregate of 1372 tiains
operated 1,658 or 89 per cent, arriv
ed at destination on tune. The best
individual record was made by No. 35
which out of 164 days arirved Atlan
ta on time 174 day or 9a per cent.
No. 36 arrived Washington on time
146 days or 79 per oent. For the
same period No. 37 arrived Atlanta
on time 161 days or 88 per cent and
Nor 38 arrived Washington on time
159 days or 86 per cent. The "Bir
Special" arrived Menphis on time
ham on time 161 dajs or 88 per cent,
and arrived Washington on time 164
days or 89 per cent; th "Memphis
Speciail' ' arrived Memphis on time
loo days or 84 per cent, and arrived
Washington on time 158 days of 86
per cent. Out of the two hundred
days, the "Carolina Special" arriv
ed Cincinnati on time 185 days of 90
per cent, and arrived Charleston on
time 164 days or 82 per cent.
When the length of the runs cov
ered by these trains, 650 to 1,000 mil
es, and the number of connections to
protected are considered, it is easily
seen that such results could only be
accomplished by the most careful
watchfulness. While these figures re
flect great credit on the Management
of the Southern Railway, their publi
cations should prove of value to the
entire South in that thev show it to
be a land in which trains may he ex
pected to reach their destination on
time, except in cases where delays are
brought about by unavoidable causes.
During this period the southern
Railway also ran a large number of
purely local trains which approximat
ed 100 per cent in their record for1
punctuality.
Fanners' Day in Monroe.

Saturday, November 18, will be
the first time in the history of Union

old-time plug mule hitched to a

ties equally as interesting, people
are going to sit np and take notice
of the progress that has been made
along agricultural lines during the
past quarter of a century. The nov-

ery local Union should endeavor to
push that side of it and then strive
hard to get the premium on the oth

Charlotte, Nov. 9. The Synod, af
ter a strenuous day at Center church,
Ban urn boring and Davidson col
lege, reassembled last night in the
Second rrssbyterian church amid a
regular bnsinsss. Tb contributions
last year sbowsd s large increase over
any other year, there being $7207
given, an average of 11.57 per mem
ber, tbe largest average, with perhaps
one exception, of sny ebureh in the
United States.
Tbe Synod heard Dr. Chester con
cerning the work in the office at
Nashville, and Rev. J. Farmer Pres
ton, missionary to Korea. Mr. Pres
ton spoke on the wonderful growth
of the ebureh there, there being 2,010
baptisms last year in the Presbyter
ian church alone. Much more eould
be done with needed reinforcements.
This speaker was followed bv Rev.
Mr. Beattie, of Cuba, who spoke es
pecially of the work in papal lands,
of the menace of Catholicism, not
only in Cuba and other papal lands,
but right hero in the United States.
The report waa then adopted.
A special committee was printed
to arrange for properly observing the
llHKh anniversary of the organiza
tion of tbe synod. The synod was
organised at Alamance church in 1813
and the session of the church address
ed an invitation to this synod to
meet with Alamance church in 1913.
The committee appointed to report
an order of exercises to the synod
one year from now is as follows:
Revs. 8. M. Rankin, J. A. Gilmer, C.
E. Hodgin, J. M. Grier and A. S.
Caldwell.
A stirring report was made bv Dr.
Neal L. Anderson on the need of more
earnest evangelistic effort on the part
of all the pastors and churches with
in the bounds of the church. Dr. An
derson's address made a profoilnd
impression.
Dr. W. E. Bokks, of Atlanta, and
chairman of the church's committee
on schools and colleges, made a re
port showing commendable progress
along this line.
He said that North Carolina had
the best Presbyterian college in the
United States, referring, of course,
Davidson, and tbe best theologi
cal seminary in the world was the
one at Richmond, belonging jointly
tins synod and Virginia.
Perhaps the report of the board
of regents of the orphans' home at
Barium Springs created more inter
est than any other thing so far. ' A.
M. Scales made a powerful speech
setting forth the needs of the home,
and asked on behalf of the board for
$50,000 for this year. Subscriptions
were taken amounting to $13,500 in
few minutes, Greensboro First
Presbyterian, and Durham First Pres
byterian pledging $2,500 each. The
entire amount will almost certainly
be raised, as many of the churches
and pastors who will help could not
make definite pledges today. The
Presbyterians appear determined to
put their orpbanage on a par with
others and also on a par with their
well known aggressiveness in other
lines in Christian work.

The aproval of the plans of re
organization of the American To
bacco Company by the federal court
Wednesday is very gratifying to tb
business interests of the entire coun
try. It will do much toward restor
ing business, which has ben threat
ened for some time with general de-
uiuiauzauuu, to us normal condition.
The American Tobacco Comoanv
has never shown any disposition
other than to obey the law when
once the law was interpreted and
defined. All who have taken any
thing like a sane view of the situa
tion have believed that the plans
submitted to the court were an hon
est atempt to comply with the man
dates of tbe Supreme Court. The
acceptance of the plans in toto as
drawn by the attorneys for the com
pany confirms tb belief of an honest
intention in submitting the plans.
The effect of tbe decision on Dur
ham will be to restore confidence in
business and real estate circles.
There has never been a probability
of the serious injury to Dnrham in
terests by the decision, but the un
certainty of the matter has operated
real estate and industrial circles.
These fears will now be dissipated
and the city can resume its accus
tomed place of industrial develop- .
