Sunday at an annual conference is always a great day: The weather today was anything but ideal, but large congregations : fratbered. In all the churches to wor ship, ,:.

Rev: J. W. Jones, Rev. W. B..Jiyda and Rev. F. H. Wood eon ducted this aerviM.' The-bread, and .water were partaken of and then the - brethren related their Christian ex Derteneea. This was a rich, mellow ; occasion. The old veteran; after tbe long Christian fight, told of the tri umphs of grace. Tbe young Cbrist- ' Un, just entering the golden. , path, spoke of divine love,' and these rich experiences were . interspersed with J old-tim Methodist singing.

"Brverly of Oranstark" Saturday Night. Tbe theatregoers in the city bad the opportunity of witnessing one of the best shows of the season Saturday night when "Beverly of Qrauatark" was" presented at the Opera House, and those who took advantage of the opportunity were greatly pleased with the performance. The show was a great success hare with elaborate settings, admirable characters, clever situations and interesting plot. All the parts were well acted and the company enters into the play with a spirit and effectiveness. Miss Dor othy Reding aa "Beverly Calhoun" waa the star of the attraction and her cleverness made a decided hit from the minute she appeared on the stage. Miss Reding 's work seemed to grow in favor with the audience and at times was superb. Robert Lawrence as "Prince Danton" proved that be was in every way capable of holding the lead of the strong cast. Miss Eva Benton as "Aunt Fannie," an old colored mammy, won frequent ap plause. The whole show is strong in every way and ranks as equal, if not the best of any performance seen here this season. Only one incident marred the per formance and that was some fellow from the gallery, who ahould have been in a cattle pen, talking to the actors on the stage. This was done on several occasions. If the police -wosM-take such toughs to lock up it would add greatly to the pleasure of the audience and certainly make the ladies who attend the shows feel more at ease. Manager Byles has every possible moment of bis time taken up wnen a show is staged and under the lease he is allowed police protec tion. Railway in Statesville. Statesville, Nov- 11. Mr. Bird S. Coler, the New Yoilc capitalist, who is 'the head ef the North Carolina Pubui-o (fbrvioe Corporation, which has for some years operated street rul-a vferfm in fliwpnahnm And TTio-h Point and recently bought the Salis-J oury and iJoneord systems, was in Statesville Thursday afternoon look ing over the town . wftn view to asking for a franchise to operate a street railway in Statesville. Mr. Color wag accompanied by Mr. Clark, also of New York, and it he two were driven over all the principal streets of tbe town and thoroughly investi gated its business interests. It is be lieved that they were favorably inv pressed and look upon ihe town as fine opening for a car system, though no aetion has been taken. Mr. Color said be had fceard a good deal of Statesville and understood it to be 'a good town," and he is now doubt less convinced that what he had heard was true. It waa the former owners of the Salisbury Concord street car system who made application some time ago for a franchise to operate a system here,! and now that Mr. Coler has bought out these gentlemen, it is hoped that be will carry out their Diana in regard to Statesville and will extend bis operations to this Wn.

Walter Simpson at tba Associate Raformai Preabyterlaa Church Last Evening. Re. J. Walter Simpson, pastor of the Associate Reformed Preabyteriaa ehureb, preached last night on "Con cord versus tbe Decalogue of Moral Law." The church waa well filled with people, a number of whom were members of other churches who went out to hear the forceful young preach er on this subject, it bsving been pre viously announced that ha would preach on this question. Mr. thmpson read tbe 6th chapter of Daniel as the Scripture lesson and took the 27th verse aa textf "Tekel, thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting." Mr. Simpson preached for nearly an hour and held the undivided at tention of his audience throughout his discourse. He drew a vivid wprd picture of Belshazzar and his magni ficent palaces and tbe great feast he gave to his thousand lords and of the drunkedness and noting of tbe men and women. "Though this happened thousands of years ago, let us come down to the present, to tbis church and this people and this city. Men may abuse the church and its minis ters and what they do in Concord, but I never saw an honest man that did not believe in the Ten Command ments. The law is all right. What we need in Concord today is men be hind tbe law who will enforce it to wards rich and poor alike. Mr. Simpson then read each of tbe Ten Commandments and comparing conditions here asked how would Con cord like to be weighed in the bal ances with them. Taking the first one on to the 10th the speaker made comparisons that no doubt made a deep and abiding impression on his hearers. In speaking of the first com mandment Mr. Simpson said: "What ever yob love most is the God you worship, be it honor, wealth, social position or whatever you love. I know many men and women in Concord who do worship the true God, but there are many men here who . wor ship Bacchus as their God. And how they do fight for him. What was all this recent stir in the city about f It was the men defending Bacchus." Here Mr. Simpson related an ac count of an incident told him by .a young man who was arrested for be ing drunk.. Whan the young man was arrested he was asked by the officer where he got his whiskey and he told the officer that he got it at the same place he did. And next morning, said the speaker, when the young man was about to stand trial the officer put his arm on his shoulder and told him to be a man and not tell where he got it." In speaking of people bowing down before images Mr. Simpson said that many people were bowing before oth er images in going to moving picture Shows. The young people of this city go by the bouses of religious worship on Wednesday night and go to the ov'us l"u ' it shows what tbey love and what images they are bowing down to. Mr. Simpson took up the lives of tbe men who swear, who break the Sabbath, who dishonor their father and mother on through every com mandment and asked would they be willing to go into tbe balance against God's laws.' In speaking of the men who use profane language the speak er said that there could be no pro fane swearers in heaven. "Cursini; is a ain an A if mattoM nn( tartiAtlim wan ' mean to swear God has said that he will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. You have heard blasphemy hurled at tbe min isters of this city on the streets of tbis city. How would those . men weigh in the balance of this lawt" "If parents want their children to grow up and honor them teach them to honor the Sabbath Day and keep it holy." Continuing on the next command ment, the speaker said: ."I .' don't know a lighter man or a man that weighs less anywhere than a man that dishonors his father or moth er." "',:- . Mr. Simpson .concluded his dis course, with a strong appeal to bis congregation to so live that they could be weighed in the balances of justice sent down from above. He short prayer iri which be prayed espe cially for tbe officers of Concord. . Rev. Dr. J. 0. Moser Passes. Hickory, Nov. 12. Rev'. Dr. J. C. Moser died rather suddenly this af ternoon from a stroke of paralysis. He was 62 years of age and bad been pastor of Holy Trinity Lutheran church here for twenty-five years. He is survived by a widow and four chiV dren, three sons and one daughter. He has been in failing health for a number of years and only a year ago had given up tbe pastorate of hu church here. In his death the reli gious life of this community loses one of its strongest men and Hickory one of her noblest citizens. Dr. Moser was a brother of 'Squire T. A. Moser, et No. 8 township, and was well known in this county. He was educated at Mount Pleasant. 'Squire Moser and Rev. L, D, Miller left this morning for Hickory to at tend the funeral .

Over $350 was raised in a very few minutes) Probably the moft important fea ture of the day was tbe address of Dr. Pressley Thompson of Washing ton, Pa., the fraternal delegates of the United Presbyterian church. Dr. Thompson was-ver, happy in his re marks and the main part of bis ad dress was the reason why these two churches, tbe same in faith, doctrine, blood and tradition, should unite snd form one organization. The modera tor, Rev. W. V. Lindsey, formerly of Memphis, replied in words well chos en and fit for the occasion. In 1904 the synod voted on this matter and it lacked only font votes of being I carried. The United Presbyterian church is very desirous of this union. Dr. Thompson compared the Asso ciated Reformed Presbyterian church to a modest Southern maiden, and said they were going to continue to support her until they won her con sent, y White Oak, Oa., was selected as the place of the next Ueeting, and the Rev.

New Bern, Nov. 11. A few weeks ago the Land and Industrial Depart ment of tbe Norfolk Southern Rail way Company brought a party of Ohio faiaisn to Eastern North Caro lina on a special train and exhibited to them tbe wonderful progress of this section. Owing to the fact that just at tbe time this trip was made there were a large number of those who had in tended being among the party detain ed on account of harvesting their crops. The visitors were so well pleased with what they saw, especially in and near New Bern, that they gave a very glowing account of their visit when tbey returned home. Within a few days the railroad officials received a number of inquiries in regard to an other similar trip, and after due de liberation of the matter they decided to run another of these special ex cursion trains from Ohio to Eastern Carolina. With this idea in viey they compil ed and issued a profusely illustrated and very attractive 68-page booklet which fully describes the conditions in this section as they really are. These booklets were sent out all over that State to prospective visitors. Plans have been made for the party to leave Cincinnati, O., on Dec mber 5th. Going on to Norfolk they will spend one day there and then traverse the coast section, arriving in New Bern on December 9th. After spending several hours in this city they will go on to Kinston and look over that section. Returning here on tbe fol lowing day the party will disband and return home at their leisure.
