The storm area which was centered
over the South Atlantic and east Golf
. States yesterday morning moved some
" what to the eastward daring the day,
" and at 8 o'clock last night was centered
along the immediate 8ohth Atlantic
coast, extending from Cape Hatteras to
. southern Florida. - - j - - -.
, The threatening weather condition
a, and general rains which have marked
v the passage of the storm over the south
ern portion of the country for the pasi
- two days, were still apparent last night
andrain was falling at Nor folk, Hatteras,
- Raleigh, , Wilmington, Charlotte ana
Augusta, and rain had. been .. general
j over the entire Sooth daring the day;
- The higher area of pressare - has,' lot
. tne pass two aays, . Deen centered over
' the northern and western portion of tot
country, and the storm area passing, as
; -r. it did, across the extreme southern por
tion, the general tendency .of the at
mosphere has been to set in from th
northern toward the southern districts,
t and, as a conseqaence, the weather over
: the South for the past 36 hears has been
unusually -cold. It wa rather a 3 re-
, markable fact that of all the station
reporting last night, none reported low
er temperature than Raleigh and Char
lotte. The temperature at Raleigh va
-40 and at Charlotte 42; the lowest tern
peratnres reported elsewhere were Ne
York 42, Marquette 42 and Chicago 40.
! The rainfall at Charlotte during the
'past 36 hours was about 2.00 inches.
which is the heaviest fall reported from
any station in the South, although fall
-of from one to one and a half inches
'have occurred at several stations in the
South Atlantic section.
. At 8 o'clock last night the weather
was clearing In ajl of the northern and
western districts, and it was also warm
er in all sections, except along the im
mediate South' Atlantic coast and ad
jacent sections; Judging, therefore,
from these conditions It is thought thai
the storm will pass off to-day, and that
clearing and warmer weather will pre
vail in this locality by this evening at
least.

TLakiug up his theme proper "Chris
tianity as a Living Hope; or ihe Essenc-
of Christianity," the, speaker said
Peter describes Christianity. What is
Christianity? It is a living hope. It is
not a set of rules and regulations. "When
you become a Christian vou do not
sign the by-laws of a certs in society; its

the resurrection as the pledge of
Christianity. His sermon throughout
was unique, and interesting and deliv

During this entire season we've been
having a tremendous trade in all kinds
of Dress Linings and findings generally.
From the extent of our business 1n this
line we judge, other merchants . either
haven't had the right stuff, or, if, they
had, charged: too tnuch for them, or
else bought in small quantities and are
continually but. We have these new
things coming in every week, and since
our prices are cheaper than others the
people naturally flock this way.
