All tbe Bts Methodist ministers of
Coaeord were sent to other fields
next year, and so far as we recall
this is the first time this has been the
Tbe pastorate of two of tbem,
Mr. Durham and Mr. Hutehins, ex
pired by limitation of tbe church,
which fixes four years aa the maxi
mum length of a pastor's service on
s charge.
Bev. Plato Durham wss made pre
siding elder of tbe Winston District,
one of the largest and most import
ant districts in the conference, and
this is a distinct promotion for him.
Hs is one of the most eloquent preach
ers in this or sny other conference
of the connection, snd has hundreds
of friends in the State and out of it
who are watching his career and who
expect for him still greater things.
Not only has Mr. Durham endeared
himself to his people here snd to the
people of the entire eity, but Mrs.
Durham has won their love in a no
leas degree. She is s great and most
efficient church worker, and she will
be much missed in this work and in
the social life of the city.
Rev. W. L. Hutching, who for four
years has been pastor of Forest Hill
Methodist church, was sent to Burk
head church, Winston-Salem. This is
also a promotion for Mr. Hutehins.
Tbe fact is that preachers who leave
Central and Foiest Hill churches in
variably go up higher. Mr. Hutehins
haa done a fine work. He is a strong
preacher, an effective worker, a pop
ular - pastor and a courageous man,
who does not fear to do his duty as
he sees it. In his work he has had
tbe aid of his splendid wife, who has
made and will always make where-
ever she goes a most helpful co-laborer
with him.
Rev. J. A. J. Farrington, who has
been pastor of Epworth church for
two years, goes to North Charlotte,
and Rev. J. J. Eads, for one year
pastor of the West Concord charge,
is the new pastor of the Lenoir cir
cuit. Both these consecrated men
have done a faithful work, and the
best wishes of many friends will fol
low thorn wherever they go.
Rev. W. P. McOhee, for two years
in charge of the Concord circuit, goes
to Calvary Street, Charlotte. Mr. Mc
Ghee is a forceful preacher and a
good man, and has done a good work
on this circuit.
Rev. N. R. Richardson was return
ed as pastor of Mt. Pleasant , circuit
Slid not only nfe people on his charge
but many mends in Concord who
have learned to love him. will be re
joiced at this fact.
Rev. J. H. West is the new pastor
of Central church. Mr. West has been
pastor of the Wadesboro church for
the past four years, and this should
be sufficient recommendation for him.
He has done a very fine work there,
and is recognized as a good organ
uer and one who brings things to
pass. He has with him Mrs. West
and a daughter about 11 years of
age. He has one son who teaches in
Trinity Park High School and one
who is s teacher in Rutherford Col
lege. He also has a 14 year old son
who is attending school at the latter
institution. The people of Concord
will give him a glad hand as their
pastor.
' Rev. W. M. Robbins, who comes to
Forest Hill church, has been pastor
of the North Charlotte charge the
past year. He is well known here
and married a daughter of the late
Mr. Henderson Winecoff, of of No.
4 township. He has been popular
and efficient wherever he has been,
and will be gladly receive'd at Forest
Hill.
Rev. G. G. Harley. who comes to
Epworth church, was pastor of the
Concord eireuit about 15 years ago.
The people, of Epworth are pleased
with him, and he will no doubt do a
good work among tbem next year.
Rev. W. T. Albright, the new pas
tor of Concord circuit, is also well
known in and around Concord; his
wife being a daughter of the late Mr.
W. M. Widenhouse,. of George ville.
Hs is a splendid man and a most ef
fective preacher.
The West Concord charge was di
vided and. Westford set apart as a
separate pastorate. Rev. J. M. Riden-
hour comes to this charge, and Kev.
F. W. Dibble, a young man to West
Concord.
Rev. W. B. Shinn is returned to
Ksnnspolis, where he has done good
work and where be expects to have
soon a handsome new .church.
King's Daughters to Hold Bazaar.
The Stonewall, Jackson Circle of
King's Daughters will hold a bazaar
December 1st in the vacant storeroom
on Esst Depot street next door to

consisting of chicken - salad, ,- hani,
beaten biscuit,' oysters, pickles, etc.
The ' committee on fancy wort re

Ootta less) to Cabarrus This
Year Than Ever Before.
Mr R. V. Caldwell, a good eitisen
of No. 2 townsbia, and one of those
good farmers who "live at 'home and
boatds sit the same place," wse in
Concord a few afternoons ago. While
in conversation with a representa
tive of this paper Mr. Caldwell's at
tention wss calls) to the fact that
there was aa asusnally large number
colts following the 'teams from the
country here this fall. "I hsve
noticed that mora thi, year than any
year since I hava'been living in this
county, and I was born and reared
here," he said. "There are more
colts in Cabarrus now than there
ever was and stock raising in certain
ly on the increase. I have got six
colts st my home, two horse colts
snd three mul ...flolts snd have one
to break each spring."
When asked what it costs to raise
the cults Mr. Caldwell repLied that
ha did not know as he did not miss
the feed very much and 'with the ex
ception of sowing rye for them to
run on he bad no extra expense to
raise them. "I raise the colts in con
nection with my farming and don't
go to extra work in doing so, but with
a small amount of exfera work and
attention mules and horses could be
be profitably raised in this county
and I believe tbe. farmers are real
izing this fact, too, foi they are cer
tainly increasing. 7
Mr. aldwell also has a fine herd
of cattle in which there are twenty
young jersey beiiers and he not only
has a large supply of butter and
milk but can furnish the market with
jersey cow on short notice and aw-
ways receive a good price for her.
the above facts are conclusive
proof that it is just as poor business
for a farmer to 'boy western hav at
$30 a ton when it can be produced
at home for $5 per ton, Illinois corn
for $1.(H) per bushed when it can be
pioduced at home. for 20c a bushel.
and western meat for 10 cents when
it can be produced at 'home for 5
cents, as it is to pay $250 for a Mis
souri mule when you can raise a Cab-
arms mule and hardly mitu the cost.
Mrs. Ramsanr on the Wrecked Train.
Mrs. Claude Ramsaur returned yes
terday afternoon from Philadelphia
on No. 37. Mrs. Ramsaur was on the
train when it left the track about 18
miles above Greensboro early yester
day morning but she escaped unin
jured.
In relating her experience in the
reck Mrs. Ramsaur said that she
was in the tlrasstfie) roots of the Tear
ullman when the accident occurred.
It was early in the morning and the
rain came to such a sudden stop
that I was thrown across the length
of the dressing room but received no
injury except a slight bruise, said
Mrs. Ramsaur.
Tbe train was composed of a bag
gage coach, two mail cars, a club
car and six Pullmans, and all these,
xcepting the last sleepers, left the
track. Mrs. Ramsaur was in the
last car, which was on of them that
did not leave the rails.

HIm Ksw Trial
Richmond, Va- Nov. 13. By re-
refusing today to grant an appeal in
tbe ease of Henry Clay Beat tic, Jr.,
convicted in Chesterfield county on
September 8 for the murder of his
wife, the Virginia Surpeme Court
takes away from the condemned man
his last, hope of escaping execution
on November 24 unless Governor
Mann should interfere. While de
clining tonight to comment on the
court's ruling, Governor Mann an
nounced that be will issue a state
ment tomorrow after a conference
with Beatties lawyers who are still
fighting desperately in his behalf.
There is a ban of posibility that the
Governor will grant a brief respite,
although this is by no means cer
tain. Contrary to the expectation of law
yers generally, the court filed no
written opinion giving its reason for
not allowing an appeal. In the pres
ence of the entire court Chief Jus
tice James Keith made this official
statement to the clerk:
"In the Beattie case, the court be
ing of opinion that the judgment of
the lower court is plainly right, doth
refuse the petition for a writ of er
ror." Seventeen bills of exception were
filed with the higher court by Beat
tie's counsel. Cases were cited in
an attempt to show that in the clos
ing adress to the jury Prosecutor
Wendenburg had erred in his demand
that Virginia should open the graves
of all murderers hanged heretofore
and apologize to their homes if Beat-
tie should be permitted to go free.
Early this afternoon H. C. Beattie.
Sr., went to the penitentiary and was
escorted to the death chamber where
he, in a faltering voice, notified his
son that the appeal had been denied.
The prisoner g iron nerve did not de
sert him. He did not seem to feel
or comprehend its meaning, but en
deavored manfuly to comfort his old
father, whose grief was intense.

DEMONSTRATION FA&MIKO
IN STANLY COUNTY.
Mr. D. M. Hatbcock. of Furr Town
ship, Gets Gold Medal for Best
Demonstration.
On tbe 6th of November there was
awarded to Daniel M. Hatbcock, of
Georgeville, but of Furr townnship,
Stanly county, a gold medal by Dem
onstration Agent S. A. Underwood,
for the best all round demonstration.
Mr. Hatbcock made 412 bushels shell
ed Corn on 4.4 acres or very ordi
nary upland at a cost of 23 cents per
bushel. If the roughage had bien
taken into account doubtless this
corn would hsve all been clear profit. !
'his pnze was open alike to cotton point through which to build tbe pro
as well as corn demonstrators but posed road,
while some of the cotton men made i rru . .
1700 pounds seed cotton per acre, I
that was "nothing doing" as com-
pared with corn. At present prices
it would require s yield of at least i
2,500 pounds of seed cotton per acre
to make a favorable showing with
corn yields like the above.
Mr. Hathcock planted Cox s pro
lific corn and has made as fine a tvpe
of this corn as I have ever seen.
Mr. J. C. Nance, also of Furr town
ship, deserves second mention for
making 69 bushels per acre on a field
of 5 1-2 acres, although Mr. W. H.
Bivens, of Norwood, cribbed 115
bushels from one acre of Rocky Riv
er bottoms. Considering the unprec
edented drought Stanly folks feel
proud of these wields.

Baby's Awful Death.
High Point, Nov. 13. Yesterday
morning on West Grimes street a
little infant daughter of some six
months was found dead in the bed
n which its parents. Mr. and Mrs.
Eck Kut ledge, were sleeping with
the child. It is not delinitelv known
what caused the child's death, though
it is possible that one or the other
of the paren'is might hnve lain on it
and accidentally smothered the baby.
After its dentli. the child turned
quite black in parts of its body, and
this is suposed to have been caused
by some disease. The parents are
greatly distressed over the mattei,
and have the deepest sympathy of
their triends, neighbors and every
