C-, a? awond-cla* matter. ?ati? or auBHCBimoN: 9m yaar, RMh lo advance, ? ? ? fl.OO itx montha. caah In advance. - ? .50 Fhiday, Novemiieu 27, 1908. Hon. W. W. Kitchin, Governor elect of North Carolina, is at present Representative in Con gress from the Fifth District, but will have to resign before he is inaugurated Governor early iu January. From the time of hi* Inauguration as Governor until March 11, 1909, the Fifth Dis trict will be without a Repre Hentative iu Congress unless a special election is held to elect his successor. We heard a gen tleman say last week that Air. Kitchin, as governor, could ap point his successor. In this he was mistaken. A governor has power to appoint a United States Senator when one resigns, but a representative iu Congress must be chosen by direct vote of the people. As the time is so short it is not supposed that an elec tion will be called to choose Mr Kitchin's successor. John 1). Rockefeller, the great oil magnate, was five minutes late in getting to court Tuesday morning. The great millionaire seemed greatly worried over his tardiness and said that that was the first time he was ever late in keeping a business engagement in his life. Here is a lesson to all those who seem to think that it does not matter if they are a few minutes late. Mr. Rocke feller's strict adherence to punc tuality has aided him much to ward attaining the success thnt has come to him. Being behind time at business meetings, church services and other gath erings is ofteu inexcusable, and could be easily remedied if peo ple would exercise more fore thought aud deligence in pre paring to meet those engage ments. We, of the South, have many lessons to learn yet, aud not the least of these, is to be ou time. Chautauqua Circle Entertained. Last Friday evening Miss Mat tie I'ou delightfully entertained the Chautauqua Circle. The cir cle was called to order bv the resident, Mr. Albert Noble, 'he first thing on the program was a discussion of "Napoleon" led bv Mrs. T. .1 l,assitnr. Fol. lowing this, MissKula llo'.uuiaile an interesting talk on "Charles V." I'hHu a reading ou "William of Orange" by Miss May me Kllis was much enjoyed. The program 1 closed with a paper on "Rem brandt" by Miss Bettle l^ee San- I ders. Misses Woodall and Hood I added pleasure to the occasion 1 with their songs and lustrumen- ? tal music. A delightful salad course aud cream and cake were ' ?erved. The circle will meet this (Fri- > day) evening with Miss Rettie > Lee Sanders. I i The Ween of Prayer. The ladies of thu Home Mis sion Society held their week |of f prayer last week, and truly it ? was the best we have had since ' our organization. c The attendance was better ' thau ever before and a deep * spiritual atmosphere pervaded c throughout the entire week, this bringing over members Into a closer Christian fellowship. Quite a number testified as to the i blessings they had received and 1 made new resolutions to do [ greater work for the Master in e the future. Our self denial of- c fering amounted to |19.57 < which is more than usual. Other 1 donations for the poor were ? made too. j We gained six new members c and one new subscriber to "Our ( Homes, "theHome Mission paper. j1 We are triad indeed to have i ?ome of the ladies from the otb- a er churches in town meet with us. ?
