OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

Deserved Compliment to Col. Henry G.
The Republican Hoping and Working
for Mills The Canons Will be Held Satur

(SPECIAL COR. THE ADVANCE.)
Washington, Nof., 30, 1891.
Members and office seekers are
pouring into the city. Every train
brings new arrivals. At the head
quarters of the rival candidates for
the Speaker's gavel all is bustle and
activity. Hatch, the Farmers' Alli
ance candidate, came in to-day with
his entire delegation and a number of
backers. Crisp leads the candidates
according to the count at noon to
day. His lieutenants claim that he
has ' ninety two votes on the first
ballot. Mill's prospects brightened
yesterday when he received a telegram
promising the support of lour Brook
lyn members, but this is more than
counter-balanced by nine Ohio men
who are Crisp. Bynum's withdrawal
in favor of Mills was brought about
because the leading Indiana . politi
cians thought it more important to
make sure of gratifying the ambition
of Lycurgus Dalton of that State to
be Doorkeeper than leading a forlorn
hope for Mr. Bynum. Dalton is in
fluential man and an astute politician.
He is very popular and with Bynum
out of the way is moderately sure of
the place he wants. With Bynum in'
the field, his proj-jcts of course,
would have nM been so bright. -
North Carolina will fare best with
Crisp in the chair. Messrs. Crawford
and Grady, who have arrived, ex
press themselves as favoring Crisp.
Mr. Williams, who will get here
Wednesday, is also in favor of Crisp.
None of the old members have arriv
ed and no member of the delegation
is pledged to anybody, but Crisp's
position on the repeal of the Internal
revenue is a strong cord in his favor
with ver one of them. If Crisp is
Speaker Messrs. Henderson, Cowles,
and Bunn will either get chairmanship
or places on important committees.
No other candidate would do so
much lor the State.
North Carolina will also get two
nice places under the House- Col.
Henry G. Williams, of Wilson, will
be Superintendent of the House
Documant Room or Assistant Supt
erintendent at least. He is perfectly
familiar with the duties of the position
and deserves the place on account of
long faithful and efficient party ser
vice. There is not a better politician
in the State and he has powerful
friends who have the will and the
ability to make his selection sure.
You can depend on this. IjJorth
Carolina should demand this and
another good place for a Western
man, a farmer perhaps. This is no
more than her due, these three chair
manships and two good places.
There is army of office seekers here,
some entitled to consideration and
some not.
Hon. John Nichols, ex-Republican
member from the Raleigh district,
says he and other ' good Republicans
are for Mills or Springer. I toid him
the Democratic caucas would .not
consult his wishes in matters -of this
sort, that no matter how much we all
liked him personally we would not let
him lead us into traps of that sort.
The Republicans are praying for
Mills or Springer, in truth., and Mr
lMcnoi s inendiv suqgcshon to me
to-day, means more than an ordinary
joke.
The Democratic caucus will prob
ably meet Saturday afternoon at the
Capitol in time for a prolonged ses
sion. I had hoped to be able to give
you the exact date, but Mr. Holman,
chairman of the caucus has not arriv
ed.
I saw Mr. Lacey, the comptroller
ol the currency and the assistant
comptroller also to-day, about the
failure of the First National Bank of
Wilmington. I took the liberty of
telling them ol the staunch and hon
orable reputation enjoyed by the
officef s and directors 'of the bank.
Both gentlemen said they " expected
the .examiners report would show
that it was not a bad failure, that the
depositors would lose nothing and
spoke very kindly ol the bank. If
the examiners report is as favorable
as they hope, the bank will be permit
ted to resume business at once, and
no receiver will be appointed. If not,
a receiver will be appointed next
week, but it will not be Judge Russel
as is reported in the North Carolina
papers received hereto-day. Judge
Russell is not an applicant. He left
here Saturday after a long talk with"
the comptroller and I think he will
bear out my statement made above.
There was only one application on
file to-day a noon for the receiver
ship and that was from a Democratic
lawyer of Wilmington, No resident
of Wilmington will be made receiver.
It is opposed to the policy of the
government'to appoint a receiver who
is identified with the local interest of
the place. Another application was
filed this afternoon which will be suc
cessful unless the bank resumes busi
ness. This application is,from a well
known out-side Republican whose
name I am not permitted at this stage
of proceedings to give.
Senator and Mrs. Vance are ex
pected in this city about Christmas.
They sail the sixteenth from Liver
pool. A Card.
In reply to the Advance, in re
gard to the publication, of last week,
of the Tomb of Mrs. Annie Stanton
the Advance published that Mr.
Stanton had completed a nice Tomb
for his wife, whereas myself and J. C.
Lanier, placed the Tomb oyer her
grave, and her old mother had to
pay for it W. Barnes, M. D.

A BIO SUCCESS.
That's What the Rocky Mount Tobacco
Exposition Was.
Yesterday was a big day in the
history of Rocky Mount. The Ex
position was a grand success. That
doesn't tell it all, but we haven't
space for details. Summed up briefly
they are as follows :
About 112,000 pounds of tobacco
was on the breaks.
It.realized nearly $12,000.
The large crowd ol planters pres
ent were pleased at prices obtained.
The premirms amounting to $600
were awarded as follows :
For largest lot, premium $75, to R
R Cotten, of Pitt county
For largest check, $75, to Dr A B
Nobles, of Edgecombe county
For white wrappers, 1st premium
$50, to L B Moore, Wilson county ;
2nd premium, $40, to J J Aycock, of
Wayne county ; 3rd premium, $30,
to Taylor & Ricks, of Nash county

R D Armstrong, of Rocky Mount ;
2nd $40, to H T Knott, Sr, of Nash
county.

liams ; 2nd $20, to L B Moore, of
Wilson county
The awards gave general satisfac
tion. Last- "flight, in the Hammond
House, a big banquet was spread by
the citizens complimentary to the
strangers, visitors and planters, to
which about 150 citizens sat down.
It was an elegant spread, and reflec
ted much credit upon the committee
in charge. It was 9:45 o'clock when
the doors were thrown open and
those present shown seats. Mr. J. O.
W. Gravelly, Master of Ceremonies,
introduced Hon. B. H. Bunn; who
delivered an address of welcome,
which was responded to by W. E.
Dibbrell, of the Richmond Tobacco
Journal, in behalf of the visitors pres
ent. A blessing was invoked by
Rev. J. O.. Guthrie, of the M. E.
Church.
After partaking of the plenteous
profusion of tempting viands the fol
lowing toasts were spoken to, as
proposed by Toast-master B. H.
Bunn :
The Legal Profession of the State,
by Col D Worthington, of Rocky
Mount.
The Medical Profession, by Dr E
G Moore, of Elm City

those who appreciate it, by Hon C M
Cooke, of Franklin county
Rocky Mount and its Vicinity, by

happy, felicitous vein, and most
heartijy applauded
The following gentlemen were
called on and responded briefly :
Messrs W H Smoot and N P Strauss,
of Henderson; W T Hughes, of
Louisburg ; J O W Gravelly and A

THK CHURCHES.
Rapid Progres8,of Religion In This State.
Last week was one of pleasure to
the different Christians denominations
in our grand old State. The Ves
tern N. C. M. E. Conference met at
Asheville on Wednesday, nth, with
Bishop Galloway in the chair. Re
port of J. T. Gattis, colporteur, show
ed that he had travelled in two Con
ferences of Western North. Carolina
and North Carolina six thousand miles,
and had sold $161.27 worth of books.
The report from the Asheville
Female College shows better patron
age than for fifteen years.
There are about 278''' ministers on
the Conference roll, to whom are
paid annually in the way of salaries
about $80,000. The church member
ship of the Conference is about
60,000. There were 38,000 Sunday
school scholars in the bounds of the
Conference last year. The sum of
J5i 8,000 is contributed annually by
the Conference to the cause ot home
and foreign missions.
BAPTIST CONVENTION. -
The 96th annual meeting of the
Baptist Convention met at Goldsboro
on the 1 1 th . Our beloved townsman
Dr. R. H. Marsh was chosen Presi
dent of that body. Brother Kings
bury of the Wilmington Messenger,
says "he is a man of piety, ol usefulness,-
of sense, of decision of charac
ter," and we know made a splendid
presiding officer on such grand occa
sion. Corresponding delegates from
four States came to greet the repre
sentatives of the 200,000 North Car
olina Baptists. Eleven years ago
this same Convention met at Golds
boro and reported $8,8000 for all the
boards. Now they report to the
same good cause $56,139.53.
Rev. C. Durham, Secretary ol the
Board of State Missions, made a
strong speech, giving a detailed ac
count of the vast amount of work
done during the past year, and setting
forth the needs of the Board for the
coming year. He stated that this
Board was aiding in 100 towns in the
State. There were eighty-seven
Baptist churches organized in this
State during the past year.
It was found that it was necessary
to raise $1,800 to pay the balance
due the State missionaries. Dr. J.
D. Huiham , one of the ablest men of
the Convention read a passage of
scripture showing the divine plan for
meeting such emergencies ; he then
made a pathetic speech and proceed
ed to raise the desired amount One
thousand dollars of the amount was
readily secured, and the Secretary
thought he could make provision for
the balance.
The additions to the church mem
bership are about 15,000; hew
churches to the number of 82 were
organized, 48 new house of worship
were built, and no less than 84 are
now in course of construction. The
number of missionaries engaged in
the State mission work, is 127, while
in Africa, China, Mexico and Brazil
there are 21. The total number of
foreign missionaries sent out from the
Baptist churches in North Carolina is
36.
The resolution of Dr. Fleming,
with reference to the appropriation to
the Oxford Orphan Asylum and
humane societies claimed as "acces
sories" to the church was discussed.
Hon. John C. Scarborough defended
these fraternities and "accessories,"
and said while many as individuals
express ourselves' with reference to
the State's appropriation to this or
any institution, we have no business
"resoluting" as Baptists in Conven
tion assembled. On motion of Dr.
A. G. McManaway the resolution was
tabled. The Convention will meet in
Raleigh next year.
PRESBYTERIAN SYNOD.
The Presbyterian Syn Cu met at
Durham v.eek and a vast amount
or work was accomplished by this
body. It was largely attended. Rev.
P. R. Law submitted the statistical
report in which many interesting
tacts about the year's work were
elicited. In the Synod it appears
there are 135 ministers, an increase
of 8 ; 287 churches ; 27,423 members ;
$203,684.00 raised for church work ;
number added to the churches,
2,783 ; there were n ordinations and
30 installations ; the number of manses
in the Synod is fifty-five, worth
$132,800.00.
They are not as numerous as the
Methodist or Baptist, but with only
one-third ol their membership they
contribute more to home and foreign
missions than either denomination.
It is the crowing glory of their church
and shows that the grace of giving
has been wisely cultivated. In the
year" $20,000 has been raised for
foreign missions in the North Caro
lina Synod, and nearly $30,000 for
the home mission field. These
amounts do not include the contribu
tions made by the churches that sup
port individual missionaries. There
are 20 Presbyterian churches in the
State, says the State Chronicle, each
of which support an individual mis
sionary. As liberal as the giving has
been for the past year, this Synod
has resolved to increase next year,
and pledges hsve been given to raise
the foreign missionary fund to
$30,000 next year, and the Synodi
cal home mission fund to $35,000.
This is a big undertaking for 30,000
members.
The above is from last week's Ox
ford Ledger. In addition to the
above must be added the
METHODIST CONFERENCE,
which met in Greenville last week.
It was our fortune to be present on
Sunday. The town was full of visi
tors, delegates and preachers. They
were all hospitably received and
handsomely entertained. It is a big
gathering of godly, intellectual men,
and a pleasure to be with them.
Bishop Charles B. Galloway pre
sided. The Daily Reflector says he
"is a' man of fine parts an able
preacher a strong debater a grace
ful writer and an admirable presid
ing officer. Justice Lamar of the Su
preme Court said of him : 'He is the
smartest man of any profession or
calling in Mississippi.'
Donald W. Bain, the Secretary of
me vonierence, is Known to tne peo
ple ol North Carolina. The State
has never had a better Treasurer, and
the Conference has never had a better
Secretary. In fact a more efficient
Secretary never recorded the pro
ceedings of anybody of men."
All of which we most heartily en
dorse. ' '
Two new districts were made
Wilson and Rockingham and R. B.
John and M. L. Wood were made
Presiding Elders. Referring to Rev.
G. A. Oglesby, the Presiding Elder
of the Wilson District, the Reflector
says :
"Rev. G. A. Oglesby is in charge
of the Washington District. And it
is safe to say it has never had a bet
ter Presiding Elder. He is a strong
man in every particular. It is hard
to find a more earnest worker or a
better financier than he. The
church has prospered abundantly
during the three years of his admin
istration." $800 was raised to help build a
house for Dr. Marsh, of Monterey,
Mexico. Dr. Morrison raised over
$1400 on Saturday night for mission
work.
On Sunday morning Bishop Gal
loway preached a very fine sermon in
the Methodist church and Dr.
Creasy preached in the Baptist
church. At night Rev. R. A. Willis
in the Methodist and Dr. E. A. Yates
in the Baptist church. The weather
was very inclement, but large con
gregations were out.
From the report of the Statistical
Secretary we get the following: Num
ber of local preachers 143, white
members 55,611, colored members
27, total 25,638, again of 2,721, num
