We agree with our respected con

not half enough, the standard of
scholarship is distressingly low, and
the teachers generally are j very in-

If the press and popular leaders do

Charlotte Democrat: Since the
adjournment of the Local Ministers' Con

been continued in Calvary Mission Church,
preaching by Rev. R. L. Abernethy up to
Thursday night, and much interest mani
fested by large congregations. . ! Mr. A.
L. Williamson, a farmer living near tbe city,
brought us a cariosity in the way of a bean
or pea pod. . It measures two and .a half
feet in length and contains a pea every two
inches. Dr. Grlssom has issued a re
joinder in pamphlet form, in . which he
thoroughly exposes Hammond, using the
most elegant and chaste language,and giving
abundant evidence to .convict bis opponent.
Dr. Hammond is the man who was tried
as a Surgeon General of the U.' S. Army
during the war and dismissed from the ser
vice for conduct unbecoming a gentleman.
