Miss Minnie Alexander to Speak at
the A. R. P. Church. . -
On next Wednesday evening, April
22, at 7:30 o'clock, Miss Minnie Alex
ander, of Montgomery, India, will
speak in the A. R. P, Church of Con
cord. Miss Alexander is a native of
Mecklenburg county and for the past
seven years lias been a missionary in
India. During her time in India she
has written a hook entitled, "A. R.
P.'s in India." This book has been
very interesting to its readers, so in
teresting that we consider ourselves
fortunate in having its author to
speak to ns on this occasion.
Miss Alexander has spoken on
many occasions since she lias been in
America of her work in India and
wherever she has been heard it was
with gladness to her audience. In her
address here she will present many
curios which she has collected dur
ing her stay in a heal hen land. Also
she will speak of the customs and
habits of the Hindoos, among whom
she. has labored.
The public is cordially invited to
lie present on this occasion. Admis

U. 8. Salute to French Colors Was
Returned.
As a precedent for returning a sa
lute the State Department turns to
the case : of the French Consul a'i
San Francisco who, in 1854, was tak
tiTken before a local court in violence
of a treaty.
France demanded a salute and au
apology.
A compromise was reached by
which a French fleet was sent to San
Francisco, and the French colors were
saluted by the American shore bat
tery. The salute was then returned bv
the French flagship and the incident
was closed. .
Neval authorities generally favor
the return of salutes rendered in suc'i
a fashion as a part of national repar
ation for an affront, on the theory
that such a salute is an amende hon
orable and .must be met in that spir
it by a proper acknowledgment.
Godwin is Nominated to Succeed
Himself.
Wilmington, April 17. Congress
man Hannibel Godwin, of Dunn, was
nominated to succeed himself in Con
gress from the sixth district at an
adjourned meeting here today of the
congressional executive;- He was the
only candidate entered consequently
there was no necessity for a-primary,

There are Democrats in No. Ill who

Hut since IS!l(i many things bavei
happened in No. 10. Jinny things of!
more moment and value than political
issues and campaigns. The commun
ity has progressed. It bus fallen in'
line with the progress that is being
made by live communities in North
Carolina. It is advancing. A groat
impetus was given this forward move
ment when a railroad was recently
constructed through it. Ii placed No.
10 in closer touch with other sections
and the other sections in closer touch
with No. 10. And both are liroliting
thereby.
Recently a station was built neni
Bethel called Cabarrus. It was built
as a result of the united action of
the citizens of that community. They1
wanted a depot ami told the ollicials
of the Norfolk Southern thev did.'
The railroad agreed provided the cit
izens would build tlie station an 1
furnish the lol. This they did an 1
the station was duly christened Cu

are busy making a town at Cabarrus.
And with all their activity the peo
ple of No. 10 have not forgotten
Mr. Bryan.
They are building a towu and want
to have a big rally there and want
him at the rally. The Secretary of
State is familiar with the big vote
No. 10 gave liim. lie was reminded
of it at the time and duly acknow ledg
ed same. Now, that the citizens of
that Hrvan section have buill n town
and they want to assemble there and
