y. M. C. H BULGING
HERE IS GATHERING

Uses It Very 'Much.
VARIOU S~CLUBS IN

Churches Use Dining Room,

There and the Chamber of
Chamber Uses Its Offices.
Some one has suggested that the' name
“The Most Used Building in the World”
be given to the structure which houses
the Y. M. C. A. in Concord.
This name is not inappropriate. The
building is filled with activities from
morning until long after nightfall. Not
on'y does the kindergarten hold its meet
ings a' the Y in the morning, but in the
afternoon hundreds of children con»e for
physical training, business meif of the
city take their exercise, churches and
clubs make the Y their headquarters.
There is .practically no activity in Con
cord which does not in some wav or
another use either the Y building or its
equipment.
An example of the tyay the churches
make use of the Y may be seen in the
tact that a number of 1 them hold their
dinners n the club room. Those who
use other places generally borrow the
Y dishes, the Y piano or get the Y to
help them in some way or another.
Civic dubs hoid their tegular weekly
meetings in the Y. The Kiwanis Club
and iho Rotary C'.ub both t»e and have
used the dining room siivc they or-

Club n eets for practice in it, the ra’u'-
terys have their meetings in the Y, and
numerous other organizations have head
quartets within this overworked build
ing.
In the rear, of the building a tourist
camp accommodates travelers who chance
to stop over for a day or two and when
they make such stops, they are given''full
use of the Y. M. C. A. privileges. The
shower baths are thoroughly ipltfeelatad
adults come basetball, volleyball, tennia

teams which played twice a week The
teams iu this league were the City Team,

interest was manifested in the outcome,
especially in the fortunes of the county

Volleyball was begun last year as a

Sixty years ago today—April 18, 1865
—General Joseph E. Johnston of the Con
federate army, and General William T.
Sherman, of the United States army, met
near the town of Durham, N. C., to talk
over terms of surrender. A tentative
agreement was reached. This, however,
failed to secure the sanction of United
States officials at Washington, and it was
not until April 26, 1865, that the two
Generals were in a position to affix
their signatures to the terms finally
agreed upon.
general Sherman, after his victorious
march, including that portion of it “from
Atlanta to the sea” bad made his way
into North Carolina and had, on April 13,
1865, occupied the capital city of Ral
eigh—the last Confederatet State capital
to be actually occupied by Federal troops.
Raleigh, when the Federal forces arriv
ed, waß defenceless. Hence a peaceful
surrender on the part of a committee of
private citizens, who met the incoming
Federals under a flag of truse, about two
miles southwest of the State House, over
which the Confederate flag flew, until re
placed by the Stars and Stripes. Sher
man's army occupied Raleigh when news
of President Lincoln's assassination was
received. Citizens feared Retaliatory acts
on teb part of the federals, As the first
report was that the President had been
killed at the instance of Southerners.
However, there were no such acts. A fire
gave rise to excitement, but it was mere

DR. BROWN FORBIDDEN
TO PREACH BY BISHOP
Brown Was Found Guilty of Hersey By
Protestant Episcopal Church.
New York, Apr. 17.—Bishop William
T. Manning tonight forbade Dr. Wil
liam Montgomery Brown, former Pro
testant Episcopal bishop of Arkansas,
from officating or speaking m any
parish or mission of the New York
diocese.
In another letter to Dr. W- N. Guth
rie, rector of St. Mark’s-in-the-Bouwerie.
Bishop Mannang said that Dr. Guthrie’s
invitation to Bishop Brown to speak in
St. Mark's next Sunday was in “open
contempt and defiance of the authority
and law of the church.”
Bishop Brown was found gulty of
heresy last year by a trial court of the
Protestant Episcopal church. Later a
court of review affirmed this judgment
and ordered him “deposed from the
ministry of this church.”
Bishop Manning, as bishop of the
New York diocese, announced that
Bishop Brown was “inhibited from of
ficiating or speakng in St. Mark’s parish
or any other parish or mission in this
diocess.” Bishop Manning said such
right was granted him by a canon of
the church allowing the bishop to in
hibit a minster coming into the diocese
“under the imputation of having else
■where been guilty of any of the offenses"
within tl(e heresy code.
