He Leaves.
Mr, C. W. Huut hag some interest
ing notes of 'ihe recent conference at
Stateaville in this week's North Car
olina Christian Advocate, among
which are the following r
..There must have been profound sur
prise, yea, astonishment when Rev.
Plato T- Durham was read out as
presiding elder of the Winston Dis
trict, but nothing pleases me and
many": others, who think about .and
wish- well the. ministry of ther church.
more than this appointment : and
do not consider it an accident, but
an appointment made for a purpose.
From my point of view, there is no
young man in Southern Methodism
any better equipped for a great pul
pit orator and thinker than Plato
Durham, and up to this time ho has
served only eitiy charges and has
taken little part in tbe "running"!
uj. vuv cvuwiruvo wa iuat muiu n
vulgarly applied, at the annual meet
ings; but this "pushing" him off, as
it were, and out in the held to see
and to feel how it is done and tast
ing the struggles of the weaker, tbe
giving of his mental ability to the
country work as presiding elder will
give him a "new life," so to speak,
and be will come to High Point next
year at the annual meeting, not- as a
looker-on, but lull of the work to
make hia training felt in tbe cabinet
room. '';,',v;J. .
Central Church, Concord, has a new
pastor that is different in style and
make up from any man it has bad
in several years, but a strong, vig
orous. ' conscientious preacher . that
made a name as a preacher and work
er before he went on the presiding
elder a district, and as presiding el
der he always did well. At Wades-
boro the past four years he bad sur
passed any record formerly made by
that charge, and he now comes to fill
the most critical appointment in the
conference. I -dp not mean to serve a
set of critics that find fault, but a
congregation Ithat-ias many men of
ability, men' .who can tell a sermon
from a "time killer" ss any church
of its size anywhere. Itev. J, H.
West will find a tine people and he
may as well start out at bis best if
be expects to "live and do well." 1

EvideaUy the Work' of an Incendiary,
But Thars is no Clue. .
Fire of probable' incendiary origin
destroyed a ear load of goods shipped
here for the Kenr lileaehery on the
side track leading' to the bleaehery
yesterday morning about 330 o'clock.
The car waa ran on fre aide track
Saturday and had hot been accepted
by the bleaehery. f It contained 20
eases of towels sent bare to be bleach
ed by the Roanoke mills of Roanoke
Rapids. Tbe blase Va discovered by
tbe night watchman at the Cannon
mill. The watchman aaid thai about
2:30 o'clock he smelt eoftoa burning
and that he and the fireman went
through the mill belt did not see any
blaze. About 3:30 o'clock he contin
ued the inspection ind when he went
to the rear of the mill he saw the
blase from tbe bog ear on the side
track, the fire 'being en the opposite
side ofjhe ear from; tbe Cannon mill.
The fire department waa summoned
and made prompt fosponse but the
blaze had gained etch headway that
tbe goods were practically consumed
before the alarm waft turned in.
There is little doubht that the ear
was set on fire but- 4'oere is not the
slightest suspicion -bs to the guilty
party.
Tbe officials at the bleaehery state
that tbey had not received tbe goods
and bad no idea ea to their value.
The loss of the goods will probably be
paid by "the railroad and it is under
stood the car was insured.

To guard against possible annoy

The pall-bearers, boyhood friends

his best man when he and Louise
Wellford Owen were married. A

Case ef William Gorreil for Bigamy.
Jury Decided That s to Met
Ouflty.
Salisbury post, 25U.
interesting ease against Wil-
liam Correll for bigamy was tried in
the Superior Court yesterday. The
sequel of it is not exactly like that
ef Enoch Arden, Phillip and their
wife Anne. The evidence developed
that Correll first married Annie Mil
ler in April 1895. That a year or two
afterwards on aeeonnt of jealousy he
and thia wife parted, and ahe went
North and remained 9 years. She took
tbe stand against him yesterday and
testified that they lived together for
two years and that he abandoned her
without any cause, and that he did
not wait quite 7 years after ahe left
before he re-married. He swore that
they lived together only one year, and
that ahe had been gone over seven
yeara when he married Mary Hearne
in Albemarle in December, 1905, and
that during that time he did not
know that the first wife was alive.
The law against bigamy is that if
any other person during the life of
the former husband or wife, every
such offender is guilty of a felony
and is punishable by imprisonment
in the penitentiary for 10 yeara. But
a statute law was found which says
"nothing in the Isw against bigamy
shall extend to any person marrying
a second time, whose husband or wife
shall have been continuously absent
from auch person for the space of 7
y-ars then last past, and shall not
have been known by such person to
hsve been living within that time."
Correll and bis second wife and their
children are living in Concord. Upon
bearing the evidence the jury decided
that under this old statute law he is
not guilty of bigamy. His lawyer
was E. C. Gregory, Esq.
A wholesale arrest wss made on
"blind tigers" in Goldsboro Friday
afternoon, about 25 warrants being
issued. Some are charged with sell
ing beer and others "Old John Bar
leycorn.'' .The above arrests were
the result of tbe work of private de
tectives, who have been working on
the quiet for the past three weeks.

Esad ef tha Farmers Taion Says Oct
. ton M BeUg Esld.
Atlanta, Ga Nor. 2S.-Prceidcnt
Charles 8. Barrett, of the National
Farmers' anion, today rave oat a
'statement relative to the advices frets
j New York that banking interests had
agreed to flnenee cotton saevseaent
to the extent .of . 150,000,000. Ha
said:
"I know personally and sat earn sev
eral of tbe gentlemen participating
in tbe eonlerenee which, it is said,
looks to the placing of $50,000,000 in
the South to promote the holding of
eotton until it reaches a figure that
represents its value to the world. But
I am apprised of the olan which mast
necessarily affect several hundred
thousand farmers only by newspaper :
reports snd not in the intricate de
tails essential to so tremendous a
movement. It would therefore be un
just to sll concerned to express a
definite opinion in advance of full in
formation." Mir. Barrett stated that reports
show that eotton is being held and
will be held.- He aaid hs was just in
receipt of a letter from C E. How
ard, secretary of the Southern Cotton
Buyers' association, saying "farmers
are now holding a greater amount of
eotton than ever before."
"Answer of the Roses."
The poets have written and sain- .
strels hsve sung about love and the
roses, but never have they depicted
this theme ss it is shown in this Ital

delicate sentiments and emotions by
