Raleigh, N. c., Nov. 20.-Ordination.
to the Baptist ministry was accorded
to w. G. Richardson, Sunday evening
in Tabernacle Baptist church on rec
ommendation of the board of deacons
of that church. Rev. Mr.. Richardson
has served for five years as assist
ant pastor of the church and has Civ
en- his time to the financial secretary
ship and missionary work. Now he
has resigned and accepted a call to
the pastorate of Rigsdale Baptist
church, Chattanooga, Tenn. and will
take up the duties of this pastorate
at once. Rev. Livington Johnson,
Rev. High G. Moore and Rev. A. M.
Simms constituted the board of min
listers who conferred the ordination.
In the absence of positive statement
Of purpose by the Norfolk Southern
Railroad Company officials as to their
plans N the purchase of the Raleigh
& Southport, Raleigh to Fayetteville,
Durham & Charlotte Colon to Mt
Gilead and the Asheboro e Aberdeen
Ahsboro to Aberdeen. there is a pretty
Rttled conviction among the well in
9rmed here that the plans -4JG esssly
included the establishment of a
through line of road Raleigh to Con-
cord and Charlotte, but also the pro-
lection of line westward via High
Point and Winston-Salem to ultimate
~ include the Elkin & Allegheny
now building to Sparta under the di-
rection of President Jno. A. Mills,
President of the Raleigh e Southport
and has plans to push on westward
across the Virginia line to connect
with the Norfolk & Western for coal
carrying and other heavy freigh and
hauling purposes. For the Raleigh
Charlotte line there remains to be
constructed new links Fuquay Springs
to Colon to connect with the Raleigh
e Southport with The Durham &
Charlotte which then gives direct
line to Troy toward Charlotte. Then
from Troy to Concord and Charlotte
there must be a new line extended.
For the utilization of the AshebOrO &
Aberdeen for the western outlet there
must be an extension to High Point
and Winston-Salem from Asheboro and
then a linking up with the Elkin &
Allegheny that the Norfolk Southern
now controls most probably through
the interests of Jno. A. Mills.
Commissioner of Agriculture w. A
Graham ersists in his contention that
the present cotton crop will not ex
ceed 14,000,000 bales and that the
normal price for such a crop is Il
cents He is therefore appealing to
the North Carolina cotton planters tc
hold for this price which he insists
must be realized before the next croI
is marketable.
There will be two electrocutions al
the North Carolina States prison or
Friday of this week The most no
fho
ian who is to die for the murder o

other is Taylor Love, negro, who
dies to expiate the murder Of anothe
negro in Haywood county This IS th'
first instance of the electrOcutlon o
two victims on the same day since
the North Carolina law for electrocu
tions instead of hanging went int
effect.
A broken rail on a trestle just be
yond McCu11ers, on the Raleigh
Southport Railroad caused ser1ou
wreck Sunday night in which tw
passenger coaches were completei
turned over and one end of the broke
rail driven with great force throug
the floor of one of the coaches. 70
wonder no one was seriously hurt
The negro fireman jumped and sus
tained injuries that sent him to tn
hospital All the passengers wer
greatly frightened and right muc
shaken up. The Raleigh High Schoc
team was in the car that had tn
broken rail driven into it and the en-
of the rail narrowly missed Professo
Graham, who was in charge OF tn
boys on their trip to Fayetteville t
play the high school of that place.
