TWO GREAT SERMONS.
Preached at The Edenton Street Metho
dist Church Sunday.

Rev. E. A. Yates. ID. d., presiding
elder, preached his last sermon for the
Conference year at Edenton street
Methodist church Sunday morning from
the text: MANY are Thy thoughts, O
God. to usward" 1t was a sermon of
striking originality, freshness and charm,
IA sermon worthy any bishop.
At night Rev. John X. Brooks, ID. D.,
presiding elder of the Salisbury district,
preached a strong and able and helpful
sermon from the text. Judge Not" He
made the habit of harsh. unkind and
uncharitable Judgment stand out as
something to be Stunned. and with apt
illustration and incident led the nearer
to see the better part of Judging with
charity and brotherly kindness. There is
no doubt that one of the prevalent sins
of this age is hasty and harsh criticism.
DR. Brooks strong and effective sermon
made profound impression upon all who
heard him.

NEW ROAD FOR THE sEABOARD.
Another Trunk Line Between Washing
ton and the Southwest.
Norfolk Virginia-Pilot)

IOH anu tHc CDutuNtSt'
Norfolk Virgnia-Pilot)
That the Seaboard Air Line will
utilize the new line being constructed at
present between Warren Plains, y. G.,
on its main line between this city and
Atlanta through Petersburg to Richmond
is almost certain. Officials of the Sea-
board are naturally reticent but the
construction of the Richmond, Peters
burg and Carolina road unquestionably
indicates a more far-reaching enterprise
than local line between Richmond and
North Carolina. 1t means the compile
ton of another great trunk line between
Washington. Atlanta and the South
west, via the Seaboard Air Line. At
the Monticello Hotel, in this city, there
was held yesterday Il meeting, which
was attended by Mr. Everett St John,
vice-presdent and general manager of
the Seaboard Air Line; Chief Engineer
Gwathme. and his assistant and Presi-
dent Hoffman, of the Seaboard. There
was also present. it is stated, Mr.. Boy
kin. one of the most prominent members
Of the Richmond, Petersburg and Caro-
lima Railroad. OF course, no informa-
ton is oDTainable regarding the proceed
ingS of the meeting but the mere fact
that a conference has been had be-
tween the officials Of the two lines, is
accepted as evidence that an understand
ing has been reached between them,
if not consolidation of interests. 1t is
not thought that the SeabOard is as yet
the bona fide owner of the line, but it
is not believed any one else could ac-
quire a controlling interest therein. The
completion of the Richmond, Petersburg
and Carolina will, at least, afford the
Seaboard Air Line relief from the al
legged discrimination made against the
time Of its through trains by the At
lantic Coast Line and the Richmond
Fredericksburg and Potomac. over whose
tracks they now reach Washington
