Ed. Rentier, was | passed unanimously, heartily endorsing j the project and pledging “co-operation.! good will, aid and influence to Mr. Dhke.” In beginning his speech, Mr. Morri son declared flint the object of his visit was to make a statement rather than to make a speech. He expressed surprise at the large number of persons who had .vine to hear him. "Some of us have been interested," he sa ! d, "in getting an interurban railroad extended in our sec tion of the state. We have learned, or think we have learned, that Mr. Duke would consider the matter if he knew the people wanted it and would give co operation. "This is a thing which would help the state as much as anything we could do. The original plans for the interurban which Mr. Duke started yvere to continue . it from Charlotte northward. However. , the war came on and other things kept , him from extending it as he had first bad j in mind. "Such a railway would connect tba j towns in this section and make trade ahd , intercourse easy. There is *uiy one l rail road here, bat nn interurban would con- , neet -Concord directly with the’ (JeabOHrd at Charlotte, with the Southbdhrid 'tpart- | ly owned by the Atlantic Coast Line) at | Lexiugton, and the Norfolk ft Western | at Winston-Salem. That'* thr whole ( story. It would connect the towns and | connect all the Railroad systems.” Mr. Morrison then proceeded to outline I, the plan of organization which had been', followed in Charlotte last Saturday and j ■ in Salisbury' and Lexington earlier in I ] the day. He asked that a committee be I ] npoiuted from each of the civic clubs , which would confer with the central committee in Charlotte and when the op- ' portnnity presented itself, to bring the ■ srntlmeut of the communities before Mr. 1 Duke. ' Committees were appointed by Mayor i Clarence Barrier, who was ehuirman of the meeting, as follows: From the Rotary !! Club. J. F. Dayvault. L. D. Coltrane, A. j , I). Odell, A. 11.

The resolution brought before the meet ing O. Ed Kestler was as follows: "Whereas, Mr. J. B. Duke, the great financial genius and benefactor of onr state.

Dr. Stuckey stated today, that, al though North Carolina is one of the most remarkable markets of all States or coun tries ! n the inclusive variety of samples of minerals, it* hope of actual return from mineral wealth lies not in the realm of precious metals or gems but in low priced resources in deposits pending themselves to the production in large quantities of products that meet business needs. Gold, Dr. Stuckey pointed out, has in times past been an important mineral in the State and it is possible that there will be a significant revival at some time in its production. “Gold, however,” said the geologist, “depends to an extent upon discovery, and when discovered, the mine in time, ‘peters out.’ Other valuable metals and gems occur in pockets which are stumbled on by .chance and, giv ing an immense value at times, are soon er or later exhausted. “An instance is the Hiddenite, a gem peculiar to this State aud of great value. Since its discovery in a limited Area, it has been exhausted commercially and, ah though there is undoubtedly Hiddenite aoraewhere near the -original discovery, there is no way to prospect for it. except by chance. In the non-metaliesj however, there are abundant sources of known sup ply, which need only intelligent develop ment. adequate capital and a disimsition within the state to make use of home \ products by home industry to multiply j the great advances already made in their • exploitation.

Bull, missionary of the Methodist Episcopal Church in charge of the work in the Loo Choo Islands district of Japan, reports that in his travels about the island of Amakusa, he recently came across a huge grave marked by a large stone boulder on which it is stated 11,111 Christians 1 lie buried there. | The grave dates back to the year 1037, ! when the Japanese practically wiped out j all the Christians who had been eon . verted to that faith by Roman Catholic (’missionaries. The inscription over this grave tells that 33,333 Christians were slain, beheaded and buried. Their heads . were buried in- graves many miles dis tant from the rest of their bodies. Only one-third of the Christian heads were buried in this particular island. When Dr. Bull made inquries as to why Pile heads were buried in, graves mites distant from the other parts of the bodies, he was told, “When the Catholic priests preached about the resurrection, they said that 'Christians would rise i again. Fearing that it might be true, ’ the officials of the preseCuting Shogun determined that they would make it ira i possible for them to rise again by sepa | rating different parts of the bodies of the . dead Christians.
