Dedication of Concord Church

On last Sunday, as was announced, the
dedicatory services were held at Concord
Church.
The morning services were conducted
by Rev. VIM. H. Kelly, and tie largest
crowd that has ever been known at that
place was in attendance. 1t is estimated
that between 1000 and 1900 people were
present.
A collection was taken in the morning
and enough means were realized TO pay
all the Indebtedness of the new church.
The new church is nice and comfortably
equipped building, and the people of the
neighborhood deserve great credit, and
are, as may we'll be expected, very proud
of their enterprise. At noon a basket din
ner was served, and we have never atten-
ded basket dinner where there was such
bountiful supply, all Of which was nicely
prepared.
In the afternoon services were held
again at 2 O'Clock by Rev. s. o. Hall,
pastor of the Presbyterian church here.
Quite number of people from town
attended, and they all enjoyed the
occasion.

LECTURE COURSE.

With the approach of winter we natur
ally begin to think of the long evenings
aud what they promise us in the way of
entertainments.
We are glad 10 state that the Lecture
Course, which is we'll known for its high
grade attractions, is even stronger, as
planned for this season, than before and
we trust our citizens will do all they can
for it. We owe it to our town to do this,
aside from the pleasure these entertain.
ments afford US, for no one thing has ad-
vertised our community more and spoken
more forcibly of our love of culture and
learning than has this Lecture Course.
Each man and woman owes it all the help
possible to give. So, on the evening Of
October l4th let every seat be taken when
the well-kn Wesleyan Quartette begins
to sing The Washington Star says:
"The Wesleyan Quartetie is without any
peer in this country as a male quartette,"
and when it is to be in our town, surely We
will give full house.

FEARFUL STORMS IN TEXAS.
Great Damage TO Crops Bridges Swept
AWAY.

Houston, Texas, Sept. 27.-During the
past twelve hours there has been terrific
rain all over the whole Of the south and
portion of east Texas, which has done
great damage to the open Gotten, washing
away innumerable small and many big
bridges, drowned cattle, and caused other
destruction.
The small streams are reported out OF
their banks in every direction, and the
railroads have suffered heavy damage to
their tracks and bridges.
At Kennedy, it is estimated that fifteen
inches Of water fell. Many people were
compelled to remove from their homes.
At Rancho, a sixty-foot steel bridge was
wrecked by the food aud carried half a
mile down the stream. Several houses
were washed away, but their inhabitants
got out in safety.
A great number of horses were caught
in the bottoms at various points and were
drowned.
Gonzales county especially suffered
heavily in this respect. The loss to cotton
cannot be estimated, because of the large
district affected. Picking had not been in
progress for some days, but all that was not
removed from the bClls is total loss,
being beaten into the ground.
The rain has thoroughly relieved the
long. existing drought in the cattle coun'
try along the lower coast.

ference Today.

Washington, September 3O.-The Presl'
dent took iniatitive steps to ascertain what,
if ANYTHING, could be done by federal au'
thorities to settle the coal strike. The re-
suit was rather general expression OF
opinion by the advisers of the President
to tho effect that the federal laws and con-
stitution did not afford means OF federal
interference to end the strike, but another
conference will be held tomorrow, and the
President will do all he can properly and
legally to bring about settlement.
At the temporary White House con-
ference vas held today with three cabinet
officers, Attorney-General Knox, Secreta-
ry Moody and Postmaster-General Payne.
Goyernor Crane, of Massachusetts,, also
was present. These gentlemen met with
President Roosevelt first, and after the
subject had been considered for some
time, they adjourned to another room and
conferred together for an hour. They all
returned later in the day and held another
conference with the President, and the
strike situation was discussed further

SECOND OPERATION.
On Presidents Leg Last Sunday. Doing
NIceIy-Cheerful.

Washington, Sept 29.-After the presi
dents physicians had dressed his wound
this morning, the following statement was
prepared and issued by Secretary Cortel'
you:
"The condition of the wound is satisfac-
tory. The temperature this morning is
normal. The patient slept we'll and at
present Is occupying rolling chair. He
is cheerful, and from the beginning has
shown neither impatience nor restlessness,
but has carried out the directions of the
physicians with scrupulous care. Since
the use of the aspirating needle to evacuate
the sac, on the 22nd instant, which left no
wounds there has been no operation until
yesterday"
Surgeon General Rixey, of the navy;
Surgeon General O'Reilly, ofthe hearmy; DR..
Schytier. ME bone specialist, from New
York, and DR.. Lung were present when
the wound was dressed. They were at the
temporary white house about three'quar-
ters of an hour. The slight rise in the
temperature noted yesterday before the
second operation had disappeared, but
this was considered favorable.
The physicians report today that the
condition of the presidents wound gives
no occasion for alarm. The president'con-
tinues cheerful and seemingly regards the
wound as trivial matter. The fact that
q second operation was necessary evidently
caused apprehension in the public mind,
as the number of callers who stopped at
the temporary white house was larger
than on any previous day since the presi-
dent returned to Washington. A good!y
number of kilograms also were received.
To all reassurng replies were sent.
The president passed an uneventful day,
remaining most Of the time in his wheel
chair, by which means he was able to be
moved TO various parts of the room. To-
night he is reported to be progressing
satisfactorily. Dr. Lung made his usual
evening call. Dir. Newton NJ. CHATTER, the
New York bone specialist, returned to
New York this afternoon,

BIG STREET CAR STRIKE.
No Passengers Hauled In New Orleans
Yesterday.

New Orleans, Sept. 29.-The strike OF
dissatisfied employees of the New Orleans
Railway Company, which was inaugnrated
yesterday continues without break.
Three mail cars were the only cars moved
by the railway company today. In the
absence of trolley cars, vehicles OF all
shapes, sizes and styles were brought into
use during the day.
The linemen of the New Orleans and
Carrollton Light and Power Company and
the linemen employed by the New Orleans
Railway Company, all members Of the
International Brotherhood of Electrical
Workers, were ordered out OH d sympa-
thetIc strike. About seventy five or eighty
men are affected by the new strike.
The New Orleans Roilway Company has
notified the mayor that the strike Of their
linemen will seriously interfere with the
lighting of the city after tonight. 1t may
be stated that no breaks that may occur in
any Of the overhead electric lighting wires
or in any of the trolley wires can be fixed.
The trimmers of the electric light depart
can still continue at their work, but these
cannot mend wires, according to the laws
of their respective unions
In the matter of interference with street
CARS carrying United States mail, sixteen
afidavits were made this afternoon against
as many persons, charging them with in
terfering with the United States mails, IN
violation of the act of congress protecting
the mails. These cases will be heard to-
morrow
Several disturbances between the strik
ers and officers have been reported. This
afternoon policeman vas knocked on the
head with brick and badly hurt while
attempting to protect a mail car. This
morning a mob of strikers about one o
the barns attacked car as it was being
run cut AMI the controlling handle VA
stolen.
All efforts so far made to adjust th'
trouble between tie street car company
aud the street car men have failed to ac
complish anything, 60 far as known.
While there is still all effort at peac'
which may yield results about midnight
there was no change in the street car sit
uation up to II p. m.
No attempt WAS made to run cars, ex
cept few bearing United States mai
signs, and these were, it is asserted, inter
ferred with to some extent.
A striker who cut trolley rope wa
caught by the police.
1t is understood that the railway com
pany offers to discuss grievances provide'
the men return to work, and this PROPOSE
ton is being considered.
