Blanks plnns to inspect all rooms that are offered for rent so he can know they are all desir able ones. It will be jieeessary for the city to have between 50 and 75 rooms to care for the traveling public and officers of the chamber believe visitors in the city can be cared for easily if those persons having rooms for rent will eo-operate with them. Salesmen in the campaign are visit ing all parts of the city during the day, anil several of them have reported good sales during the day. The final reports will be made at'the luncheon at 6:30 to night.

AH the high officials of the government, and many en voys from other lands gathered at Bolling Field for the ceremony. The martial touch was confined to a national salute of 21 guns from a naval battery, and the playing of The Star Bpangled Banner by a navy -band.

Forbes, former head of the Veterans’ Bureau, and J. W. Thompson. St. Ixmis and Chicago contractor, charged with defrauding the I’nited States government. Two of the jurors answering a qttes lion of Judge O. 11. Carpenter, said they had sons or relatives wounded in the World War. A third venireman said lie was a world war veteran, but was not \vchindM during his 18 months service in France. The defense was allowed ten challenges ami the government six.

Friends of Mr. Seawell point to the fact that lie was nominated for the judge ship by President Roosevelt near the : close of the latter’s administration in 1909.

Many used the opportunity to in spect iho building, o{ which the rear part of the walls is neatpug complcvon. The service began with an invocation l of the Divine blessing led by the pastor. Rev. W. C. Lyerly. Several hymns were sung, selected passages of -the the Bible wore read and the player was offered by Rev. W. A. Jenkins, of the Central Meth odist Church.

The pastor laid the box in the wall: "We here lay the Cornerstone of a House to be erected under the name of Trinity Reformed Church of Concord to be devoted to the worship and service of i Almighty God" ; after which it was cov ered.

Mexico, Nov-. 25.—A cure for malaria—second only in importance to the Pasteur treatment of hydrophobia, the insulin method for diabetes and oth er epochal medical discoveries —has been devised by Dr. George H. Hooper, mem her of Ihe staff of the William C. Gorgas Hospital of this city. I The disease, takes- its annual toll in thousands. - in addition to reduc ing the efficiency of uncounted numbers of sufferers, was defeated by the experi ments of Dr. Hopper, who first conceived the idea of using mercuroehrome, a new mercurial compound. A specialist at Johns Hopkins Univer sity, Dr. Hugh 11. Young, is said to have been the first to use mercufoehrome. The drug has been employed successful ly in treatment of infections of the kid ney and in certain cases of blood poison ing. Mercuroehrome injections for the treat ment of malaria were administered last September by Dr. Hooper for the first time and with remarkable results. With in forty-eight hours chronic cases of more than a year’s duration showed marked improvement. Microscopic examinations of the blood returned negative results and the patients remained free from the mal ady, against which quinine, the standard remedy, is powerless to afford more than a temporary relief. An instance was recorded here where tlie suffered was given more than forty injections of quinine with little notice able effect. Following a single day's treatment with mercuroohrome the ma laria germs disappeared front the patient’s blood. Fnrtlier experiments have con clusively proved the superiority of the new drug over quinine. Only eight hours of treatment with mercuroehrome are required in order to destroy entirely the malaria germ. With in forty-eight hours the blood is cleared of the infection. Dr. Hooper and other physicians on the staff of the Gorgas Hospital have re fused so far to deny or confirm the dis covery. saying it is a matter of import ance or information to medical societies alone. ' However, it may lie stated unequivoc illy that the discovery lias been made ' and that for three months malaria cases i have been treated by mereuroehrotne at the Gorgas Hospital with astounding re- 1 suits. > • l New Dairy Barns at State Woman's College.

I f have long looked forward to such an oe -3 casion, and the younger members wonder r if they will live to see the time when this 3 cornerstone will be taken out and they 5 will witness the laying of such a stone -for a new and greater building. The inscription on the Cornerstone. 1 which is Indiana Limestone, is: "Trinity Reformed Church. "Organized 1881. Be -1 built 1924.” The tablet is in the center •i of the larger tower. At tlie same place 'j in the smaller tower will be placed a ‘ | stone of like size and cut bearing the in j script ion: "Thou Are The Christ, the ' I Son of the Living God * * Opon This Rock I Will Build My Church." The speaker for the occasion was Rev jW. H. McNairy. Mr. McNairy was pas | tor from 1900 to 1903. It was in his ' j heart to build a new church. ,He told how lie had tlie same architect draw plans ' land then paid for the same himself. He ' I had longed to see the time when a corner j stone would be laid. He was happy to '| be present. He expressed the hope that he would live to see the Church finished and dedicated. Happily Mr. McNairy used for his text the inscription on the second tablet. Every church that is built, said Mr. McNairy, if it is a real church, is a venture of faith. It is built upon faith. lam glad to .know that you peo ple of Trinity Reformed Church have the faith to undertake such a building. The real Cornerstone of any Church, ns well as the church of the living God is Jesus Christ. Mr. McNairy spoke positively of his convictions that the Church cannot be established on any other foundation than that of Jesus Christ, the Son of ] God. Neither should the Church seek to gather into her membership those who not confess that Jesus is the Son of God The Church is built upon this faith in such a Christ. The service was closed with the bene diction pronounced by Rev. Shuford Feel er, of Charlotte. Members of St. James Church. Mt. Pleasant. First Reformed Church of Charlotte, Mt. Zion in Rowan county and others were present. WESLEYAN’S END ANNUAL MEETING Want Stricter Adherence to Book of Discipline.—Also Oppose. War.

I>r. Culbreth visited the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the North Carolina College for Women at Greens boro and the State College of Agriculture and Engineering at Raleigh. In every instance, he said, he received the hear tiest eo-operation of faculty and Y. M. C. A. secretaries in getting contracts with the student body.

He linos that freshmen group are the ones wlm are most readily reach ed ami that life decisions are generally made before the senior year. According to the religious director, in his talks to students he seeks to show them how religious the State is in many of its functions, and that the highest religious life may find its expression in secular callings the same as in the defi nite work of a Christian minister or mis sionary.

Nov. 25.—1 n spite of last - minute additions to meet the wishes of - cabinet officials, the national budget for the next fiscal year, as completed today at a conference between President Coolidge and Budget Director Lord, limits the or dinary expenditures of the government to a figure well under the .$1,800,000 total fixed by President Coolidge in his talk last June to government fiscal officers. Mr. Lord declined to reveal the precise f total, or to discuss details of the budget, but lie said that previous expectations of tin- governmental economies possible had been more than realized. For one thing, the original estimate of the cost of the soldier bonus law had proved too high. Then the small number of applicants for the insurance bonus permitted a reduction in the annual fund allowed for amortization purposes, while additional cuts were made in the estimat ed cost of administration of the bonus law?
