The Rowan Conference.

The Rowan Conference of the
Episcopal church was held on the
night of the Doth inst. in St.
Luke's church, in this city, Arch
deacon Osborne, of Charlotte, pre-
siding. After a brief prayer ser.
vice, Rev. F. J. Murdoch gave an
interesting account of the condl
lions of church work in this coun-
ty, stating among ether things
that there we're twelve churches
and chapels in Rowan county.
Hon. John S. Henderson gave
some of his views on the organiza-
ton and conduct of Bible classes
for men, incidentally giving the
audience some very interesting
PARTICULARS regarding his own
Bible class, the rapid growth Of
which has been phenominal. Rev.
Brown, Of Cooleemee, spoke with
especial reference to the work CT
layreaders in the church and the
urgent need of more of them.
A@rchdeacon Osborne dwelt upon
the financial part of the work and
the best way to raise the funds
needed for the support Of the mis-
sion work and the country church
es. He strongly favored the old
Testament plan Of a tenth of ones
income being devoted to the work
of the church.
In all the addresses there was a
strong appeal for more hearty and
more enthusiastic aid from the
lalty, not SO much along financial
lines, as along the line of personal
work and effort for men. The
meeting was both interesting and
instructive and enjoyed by those
present. The conference adjourned
to meet in st. Luke's church the
first Thursday after Easter, at
which time there will be a further
discussion of these matters.

Says II Wasn't Trial Marriage.

Charles Caldwell, the husband
for a week of James Parks Cald-
we'll, denied this evening that there
was any trial marriage on his part.

Sold CaCaine.

Last week a negro named James
Gale was before Esq. D. M. Miller,

and he was sent to the chain gang
for thirty days. Another negro
on trial later for a similar offense,
was discharged for lack of suffici-
ent evidence.

INQUIRY PROPOSED
ON CIVIL SERVICE
Senator Borah'S Resolution
to Be Reported Out of Com
mittee Promptly.

Senator Borah's resolution for an In
vestigation Of the civil service by the
Senate Committee on Civil Service is
expected TO pass the Senate Immediately
after the holidays.
Senator Borah said toElay he had been
assured or Senator hedn that the TesO-
luton would be reported out from SEN
ator Kean's committee Immediately
after the recess. It is not expected by
Senator Borah that with a favorable
report from the committee on control
Of the contingent expenses Of the Sem
ate, there viii be opposition to the pas
sage OF the resolution
Senator CLmmins is chairman OF the
Civil Service Committee OF the Senate
and Will have charge Of the invesdga-
ton.
1t is expected the inquiry VIII be a
sweeping one. Members Of Congress
hear complaints against the civil serv-
ice on many scores. One of the most
common is that injustice is done in the
matter Of promotions and that persons
ln the civil service are at the mercy OF
division chiefs who exercise in some
cases petty tyranny over them
This VIII be looked into and some way
sought to remedy it The establishment
Of a pension and retirement system Will
no Doubt b. given attention as we'll as
the question whether the examinations
of applicants for places are Of the sort
calculated to give a real test Of fitness.

This Is the season Of the year when

from Omaha 70 do a little squirrel

chickens and they few across the Mis-
souri, river Into Iowa. He watched
them down, and, securing a boat. pad
died across TO the other side, and IN
on reaching there climbed the blur.
Ia creYtce between a couple OF rocks
he saw one of the prairie chickens.
SneaAlng around, he crowled I'D behind
