Tli congregation waa Ilia Urgent wn at thia church since tin old ramp meeting days theft. There were services in the morning and afternoon and an elegant dinner waa served on the grounds at noon; This was known as Home Coming Day. This was the first occasion of the kind in the history of the church. The time was approbate, as the last flnishinir touches to the hsndaon:e brick church had just been made, and pun"41 ' he day and program tnr all !, ..I.I hiarnli of lU church to come back once more for worship. People came from many directions. Children whose parents once attended services here were present. Old people were back to the old home church after long years of absence, one man from a distance said he had not been back to Cold Springs in 40 years, since the old camp-meeting days. So it was a day of the gathering of friends, a day of rare social and religions privileges, a day of hallowed memories and asso ciations. v In a large grove of oaks stands the elegnnt new brick church., just in the rear of where the old church stood. From the tall tower rung out on the air of the quiet holy Sabbath morniiiT the invitation of. the sweet-toned hell The new, costly quartered oak circu lar pews had recently been put in and the deep green velvet carpet had just been put down, mid the church presented an attractive nppcaranr Several of the speakers who had trav eled much said no church Intel iinv more comfortable pews, and that they never had seen before as good pews in any country church. But the real. feast of the day was in the spiritual things provided. The program was a good one, und fault lessly carried out. The Home Com ing day was fortunate in the speak ers and the subjects. Kvery speaker realized the hnllowedneKS of the oc casion, and spoke with moral earn estness. The speakers were Messrs. D. B. Colt rone, of Concord; E. W, Tntum, Of Salisbury, president of the North Carolina Stare Baraca Associa tion; A. L. Smoot, of Salisbury, and Mr. Bobbins, a great Sundav school worker of Salem Church, Stanly I Michie, Helen Marsh and Dora Oner, county. These were all laymen, hut bridesmaids. Margaret Virginia Er certainly they were "producers of win and Elizabeth Black will be rib righreousness.

The people of Cold Springs have wrought well. The pastor, Rev. C. F. Sherrill, has a noble band in the church work. The church is m a prosperous farming community, and there are large possibilities for a peo pie who -will build such a noble edi fice for religious purposes.

That the administration, is planning to occupy era Crua immediately was the gen eral belief in naval circles just be fore the cabinet met.

Three changes of much interest to the traveling public go into effect to day on the Norfolk Southern Rail way. Tram No. ;i(l, southbound, will leave Charlotte at i: in the morning in stead of at (i::t0. This will afford better connections at Star for botii Aberdeen and Asheboro. The night train No.' 32 will now leave here at (i p. m. instead ot at 83.0 p.m. This is to enable the farm ers who return from a day in Char lotte to points along the line as dis tant, say, as Mount Oilead, and who jurist then drive several miles into the country, to reach theif homes at a more seasonable hour of the night. Train No. 3.1 will arrive here at 1:50 in the morning instead of at 7:35 m. Heretotot'c, it has meant prac ticallv an all-night trip to eome from a station as near as Troy, because the train reached there in the small hours of the morning. " One can now leave these points before midnight and reach here before two o'clock. This affords time for rest after am val before the day begins. There is no change in the schedule of No. 31 which will continue to ar rive here at 2:30. ;-fw . Gen. Wood Not to Leave Washington Washington, April 21.

Many North Carolina town are go ing after the carnival it seems that its day ot usefulness is over. ust why the average carnival should have been allowed is one of the mysteries that puzzles us after we Bit down and think it all over. Just why a thous and things now obsolete once ob tained also constitutes a Great .Mys tery but we evidently live to learn, and some ol us are learning to live properly. The ordinary' aggregation which called itself the Street Carni val was generally a crowd of desper ate characters abandoned women and fallen men. True there have been some very decent combinations, but for the most part a canval, in its generally accepted sence, has been an aggregation of crooks, hooaiumc ana riffraff generally. The features have been for the most part low and vul- r the ballyhoo music and tne hoochee-coochee dance the bellow ing of the speilers and the pick pocket on the side. We are glad tne worm larouna towns have declared that they cannot loncer appear on the streets. AH along the line there is a better moral atmosphere in the old North State, and when one town takes the lead and cuts out the street shows others will follow. ' Greensboro has wisely concluded that ; we can get alonsr without these shows, and many AtW liwvm . have decided the same thing. Concord last week had two of them and they did Concord no good. The little license money means notn ing. A cyclone leaves better results. About twenty couples enjoyed a de lightful dance at the Elks' Home last I evening. Music was furinshed by a Salisbury orchestra and dancing wa from 8:30 to 11:30 g'clock. . . WILL SIEZE TAMPICO ' AND VERA CSDZ Government Will Take Possession of Custom Houses in Two M!i;crn Cities.
