Begtanlng Dteate L For several' winters tbe large am ber of people who live on the rural Mil routes served from Gold Hill and Rockwell routes Are in oil) bar boTM with surprising patience the great inconvenience and delay ea us ed by tbe feet that bo rural earners (or three months in the year leave these places at 8:39 a. nv instead of 11:3a As the fint- train down the Yadkin road does not teach these offices until between 10 and 11 a. m., it can readily be seen that all mail " coming from Salisbury and through Salisbury from all other points is de delayed exactly 24 hours in reaching the patrons. During tb other nine months in.. the year the 'earners do not leave Gold Bill and Rockwell until 11:30 a. m., or until after the mail is received from the trains from Salisbury. What the patrons along this route most earnestly ask for is that the year around- This is a most reason able request, as a moment's reflee ' tion will show. The Times and the , Daily Tribune have a large number of subscribers on all five of the routes , concerned. Our papers printed say on Monday afternoon are delivered to our subscribers on these routes on Wednesday, nearly 48 hours after they are issued. It is the same thing with the Salisbury papers and in fact with all mail. There has been j a great deal of complaint among patrons of the routes, but it seems that the matter has not been proper ly brought before the poetoniee de partment, as no one took the initia tive. A petition is now in circulation and will, we understand, be signed j by practically all the patrons of the 1 routes. ' Martin Lather's Birthday. t Four hundred and twenty-eight .; years ago last night, there was born in the little town of Eisleben, Saxony, a babe that was destined under the providence of Go to have an influ- enoe upon the history of the whole world. Carlyle, in his " Herones and Hero Worship, says; "In the whole world, that day, there was not a more ., unimportant looking pair of people, than this miner and his wife. And yet what were all Emperors, Popes, "' and Potentiates, in comparison f There was born here, once more, a mighty '-( whose light wes to flame as a beacon ever long centuries and epochs' of the world ; the whole world and its history was waiting for this man. It is strange, -it is great. It leads as back to another Birth-hour, in a still meaner environment, eighteen hun dred years ago of which it is fit that we say nothing, that we think only in , silence; for what words are there!' : The age of miracles pasty The age of, miracles are f oreveer here ! ' ' Prof. : George P. Fisher, the eminent Tale professor of history says, "Unques tionably the hero of the Reformation was Luther. Without him and his ; powerful influence, other reformatory movements, even such as had an inde " pendent beginning, like that ' of Zwingli, might have failed of sac 's cess." His great work began when, on the night of October 31, 1517, he nailed to the door of All Saints Church in 1 Wittenberg his nine-five Theses, pro f testing against the sale of indulgences sad man's plan for the forgiveness of sins. ' 'For many years past it has been the custom in the Lutheran church, .; particularly, to commemorate this '' event with special services on the ' Sunday nearest the 31st of October, or that nearest Luther's birthday, November 10th. These services will be held tomor row in St.. James Lutheran church. The Her. Dr. W. H. Greever, of Co- : lumbia,.B.

The first session of Canada's newly elected twelfth Parliament will open Wednesday. The proceedings on the first day will be purely formal and of 4 routine character. The ceremon ial opening by His Royal Highness the Duke of Connaught will take place Thursday and promises to be sn event of exceptional brilliancy. The duration of the parliamentary ses sion and the extent and character of the business to be transacted are largely problematical. Among the important gatherings of the week will be the annual conven tion of the American Federation of Labor, at Atlanta; the annual conven tion of the American Road Builders' Association, at Rochester; the meet ing of the Trans-Mississippi Com mercial Congress, at Kansas City; the convention of the American As sociation for the Study and Preven tion of Infant Mortality, at Chicago, and the convention and exhibition of the American Apple Congress, in Denver.

Educational Secretary. Special to Charlotte Observer. 6tatesville, N. C, November 10 The board of education is still un decided about recommending the ap pointment of a Conference steretary of education. Effort wss made to combine the work of educational sec retary and missionary secretary, the work of both to be done by Dr. H. Boyer, for the past year Confer ence missionary secretary. This plan did not appeal to the board of mis sions aa being feasible and the com bination of work will not be effected. The board of education may recom mend the appointment of a secretary in the person of Rev. Plato T. Dur ham, or some other minister and may conduct its work as formerly. Much rumor is afloat regarding the appoint ments. Centenary church, Winston-Salem, being the largest station open by time limit is the center of guess work. The latest rumor is to the effect that the new pastor of Centenary will be T. Marr, P. T. Dm ham or E. L. Bain, is said that H. C. Sprinkle, who has just closed a successful quadren nial at Albemarle and just previous to that a quardrennial at Elkin is want ed at Spencer. Another mmor is that Mr. Sprinkle will go to Monroe if J. Weaver, the present pastor, should move. Cabinet meetings are being held every afternoon and it is probable that Bishop Hoss and the presiding elders have made many of the ap pointments. It is not often that leaks occur in the cabinet that can be taken seriously before Friday or Saturday of the conference ses sion, but there is much "kitchen cab inet" news being circulated. This news is with reference especially to the preachers who have served four year time limit on the stations. There much guessing being indulged re garding their successors. It is still believed by some mem bers of the conference that Rev. Plato T. Durham will be appointed conference secretary of education, while others hold firmly to the opinion that he will be the new pastor of Centenary church, Winston-Salem next year, or some other large church. The latest ' kitchen cabinet news afloat is to the effect that he Rev. T. Marr, D. D., will be appointed pre siding elder of the Greensboro dis trict; the Rev. J. H. Weaver, D. D., presiding elder- of the Winston dis trict: the Rev. E. L. Bain, pastor of Centenary church, Winston; and the Rev. J. E. Abernethy, pastor at Mon roe. China Grove News. Rowan Record. E. O.

Saturday morning some clothing hanging near the fire-place at Dr. Hendrix's caught fire and made quite blaze but did not do a great deal of damage.

Cham- hers, which is to be presented at the Opera House on November 22, is be ing looked forward to by sll who have read the works or this noted autbor, The action of the play closely fol lows the text of the book. One of the principal scenes is laid at Palm Beach, Florida; and no more distinct yet delicately tinted pictures of an American winter resort, in full blos som of its brief recurrent glory has ever been presented. It is clearly Mr. Chambers purpose to show that the salvation of society lies in tbe con stant injection of new blood into its veins. The central figure the capti rating Shiela Cardross, of unknown parentage yet reared in luxury sud denly finds herself on Life's Firing Line, a target for the maliciously suggestive tongues of her particular world; battling with tbe most preten tions problem a young girl ever had to face. Only a master band could sdeanatelv handle such a- situation and Mr. Chambers does it admirably. The company which Mr. Delamater has elected for its production is made np of first class people, who have only been connected with high class attractions -Ths seems equipment will be particularly elaborate.
