A recent order in which all Southern

of the gospel engaged exclusively in min
isterlal work, having no other occupation
Regularly ordained or licensed ministers

of Christian Science churches engaged ex-
clusively in ministerial work, having no
other occupation. Foreign and home mis-
sionaries angaged exclusively in ministe-
rial work, having no other occupation,
upon presentation of proper credentials.

properly constituted religious organiza-
tions wearing a distinctive garb and per-
forming duties similar to those of Sisters

Referring to the delay in the Pamlico
Railroad, the Bayboro Sentinel says:
While the recent panic and failure in
Wall Street, N. Y, was the cause of some
little delay in our road the stock and
securities OF the p o. and w. r. R. R.,
were not affected in any way by it and
the financial condition of the construc-
ton company remains intact, and the
finances for the building, completion and
operation of the road, is all safely Sc
cured and work will now be pushed to
the completion of the road within the
time specified in the contract. Col. John
F. Barry, the supervising engineer, to-
gether with other members of the con-
company, were in New Bern last
week arranging for the building of the
b-idge across Neuse river. The con-
tract for the lumber to build the bridge
and other small tressels along the route
placed with the large lumber mills at
Aberdeen, in Moore county, in this State,
and is being cut by them now
Mr.. W. c. Feimster has just returned
from Taylorsville where the meeting to
consider the advisability of building a
railroad from Wilkesboro via Taylorsville
and Hickory to Newton was considered.
They had very good meeting although
the delegations from Newton and Hick-
cry did not attend. 1t was found that
the charter failed to pass the House OF
Representatives and therefore nothing
was done officially. Several committees
were appointed from Wilkes, Alexander
and Catawba to look into the matter of
building the road. If it is deemed a good
plan, the charter will be put through the
General Assembly at its next session.
