"Entered at the ir'ont Office at Albcboto
eoond C.uw Matter.
UNDERPAID, BUT . DESERV
ING. The army of humble serva.ts of
the Divine Master who are in a
large measure responsible for the
spiritual welfare of the public, are
more poorly paid than the ordinary
day laborer. Men who preach
regularly, Bolemnize marriages;
those who perform the sad fuuera
rites over the bier of our departed
loved ones, are not properly ap
predated, and the small pittance
paid them is scarcely sufficient to
keep soul and body together; with
the small compensation allowed,
there is nothing over and above the
bare necessities of life. There re
mains nothing for the education of
the children and the improvement
of the mind. We pay more for the
carpenters aud bricklayers who
build our houses and these who
work i:i our shops and mills: we
p.ty more to those who work ol our
roads and dig our ditches, than we
do to those who look after the
spiritual welfare of the community.
liecentlv we have had much to
say on the poor pay of the te. cher.
aud have said that no other elms
of our citizenship is paid so little,
except possiMy the ministers of the
gospel. Whik' biicklayers, ordin
ary day laborers, factory hands and
domestic servants receive more than
the teachers in our schools . who
look after the important matter of
moulding the minds and educating
the children who are to become th
citizeus of the future generation,
yet an investigation shows that,
'leaving out the pastors of city
churches, the ministers of the gos
pel in North Carolina who have
regular work nceivc even less cum
per.sation than do the teiclnr-s in
our schools.

ce of the liquor house established in

manager. Price lists were given
out freely, stating the prices at
which intoxicating liquors would
be delivered.
Things went merry for awhile,
but when Lexington Superior Court
convened the Grand jury began to
investigae this matter. They found
true bills against both Hanner and
McGhee. It was apparent from the
beginning that the judge would
charge the jury that if they believed
the evideuce that both were guilty,
aud it was agreed that the jury
should find the facts and the judge
should find the law and upon a
special verdict go to the Suprene
Court. Evidence was offered by
the state. The defendant declined
to introduce any testimony. Both
these liquor dealers as well as those
who employed them seem not to
nave kept within the law, and have
done exactly that which the law
says they cannot do. The courts have
decided that a citizen from one stiite
can order liquor from another state
