Yours truly W. L. Reagan, M. D.

He Preaches In the Morning al Central and In the Evening at Haywood Street, to Overflowlus Conrt Ra tions. The congregation that assembled at Central M. B. church. South, yesterday morning to hear Bishop Cbas. B. Gallo way filled the pews and overflowed into the aisles. The Bishop chose for the theme of his discourse two texts, the first a part of the filth verse of John 15 : "For without me ye can do nothing," and the second, Phiiippians 14:13: "I can do all things through Christ which strengthened me " The Bishop spoke, in part, as follows: "In the first text we have a revelation of divine troth. The words are those of our Lord, a part ot His wonderful fare well message to Wis disciples. The sec ond text is a simple statement of fact from the lips of His greatest disciple. In the first text we notice the sublimt self assertion of Jesus. It is not 'without my word or my teachings, but without me ve can do nothing.' This is charac teristic of all His teaching. If He had been a mere man, marred with the faint est trace of human frailty, such state ments would have been ridiculous. Cen-tu-ies have swung by since Jesus walked among men and even those who have questioned and do question His divinitv attest His spotless, flawless character. Therefore His very words are an argu ment lor His divinity. The text teaches us the utter helplessness of man. There has never been found a race so low and degraded that it has not had this sens; of helplessness and dependence upon a hifiber power. "Prayer is born in the depths and from a sense of need, and the deeper the depths the more earnest the prayer. It has heen well said 'the first step heavenward is downhill.' There is in man an innate sense of bis own helplessness and an in stinctive dependence upon a higher power. He must look up, but he cannot worship thing, adore a creed or revere an idea. fbe obi -ct of bis worship must b- a sen tient being and a being all-powerful. I must know that the arm that engirds the universe was not parahzed on the cross; tbat the band to which 1 have committed that pr e -less treasure, my soul, is omnipotent. "But we must go asiepfurther; power not enough. Back of the power must be love, U e infinite fatherhood of God. aith :n His powers and brluf in His love will give that absolu e dependence pon God that is the most res'ful fram ot mind to which man can attain. Then, biding in Christ as the branches in the vine, we can sav with faul, in the words f the s.cond ttxt, '1 can do all things through Chiist which strengtbeneth me.' I cannot stop to tell vou in bow manv ways He Irengtheneth us. He has touched hu manity at every point. He has made childhood divine, because our Loru was cradled in a woman's arms. Mother hood is dnioe, because ljing udou a woman's breast He looked up into His mother's facr. Sorrow is divine because our Lord standing betwten the sisters at Bethanv wept with them foi the death of His friend. Evtry incident of His li'e touches human nature and strengthens us. And what a power our love f jr Him becomes! Anv great passion taking pos session ot a strong nature becomes a tremendous power. If it is ambition as with Hannibal, C;car or Napoleon it may change the destinies of nations. If t is personal affection it mav quench the vital spark so that the mourner will soon f How her loved one to the tomb. And this love for Christ, what a power it has been in the past and is today: and is the luture it will coruusr the world and bring the countless nations of the earth nto one mighty Kingdom where Christ, our prophet and our priest, shall reign as King. The Bishop preached last evening at Haywood street M. E. church S-tuth. and the edifice was crowded as it pro bably rever was crowded before. Double rows of chairs were placed in the aislts, and even then all could not find seats me text was 'Ana l oraained tnre a prophet unto the nations," the latter clause of the fifth verse of the first chap ter ol Jtremiab. At tms service about $ 2 was raised to pay the salary of Pastor W. H. Willis in full. Bishop Galloway left this morning for Cbatlotte, where be will preach this evening. THOS. R. HANSOM. Death ot the Younjr Lawyer, at His Home In Northampton. Thomas R Ransom, a son of Hop. M W.

Mr. Courtney intends to re move to his farm on Homioy when h;s term expires. He has a tract of 145 acres. Mr. Courtnev has filled the office ol treasurer for 12 years in succession.

A good part of Ivy's population was interested in a case in Justice Frank Car ter's court Saturday. The title of the case was "State vs. Toseph Rice, Martin Rice, Tom Rice and Robert Allen." It ap pears i hat after the death of Martin Wbittemore a dispute arose between bis sons-in law, Dock Wbittemore and Hiram Rice, over possession of an old cabin on ' a tract of the decedent's land. Dock moved his bedding and other ar ticles ol household furor ure into the cabin for the purpose of establishing pos session. The opposition tore the roof off to make repairs. Then the rains came, the floods descended, and, while the house was not washed from its founda tions. Dock's bedding did get real wet. Dock came to town and begin crinr nal proceedings against the Rices for injury to bis property. There were two warrants, and 25 witnesses were in each case. The investigation took np most of Saturday afternoon, E D. Carter appearing for the State and Shuford & Sbuford for the defence, and the result was the discharge of the defendants, on the ground that the element of wantonness in the injury was wanting. On the discbarge of the defendants a motion to tax the costs against the prosecuting witness was overruled. This ruling was unsausfactorv to Constable Thos. Dillingham, who had some $20 costs in the case. GEO. W. PAGE'S DEATH. His Last Illness Was Short Bnrlal at Newton Academy. Geo. W.

High Praise lor the Members of the Bingham Football Team. Bingham school's eleven suffered de feat Saturday afternoon on the Char lotte gtidiron, the Charlotte team win ning by a ecore of 16 to 4. The Observer savs in introducing its story ot the game : "It was undoubtedly the most excit ing contest that has ever been witnessed in the citv. Not a single unfair play was made on either side, and when time was called at the end ol the second half both teams went to their respective headquar ters with the best of freling toward each other. Although Bingnam school had suffered defeat, to her credit be it said that she has sent Charlotte the finest body of gentlemen w ho have ever visited the citv. If those who plaved against the Charlotte eleven are representative of the school, she can undoubtedly claim the record for gentiemanliness against any college in the South. . . . For the Asheville eleven London's fine work is dr-serviig of special mentiDn." A DISTINGUISHED VISITOR.

C , Nov. 16. f special Senator Butler this afternoon published in the Progressive Farmer an open letter to Senator Pritchard in reply to one from the latter asking whether Butler favored his re-tlection.

In conclusion Butler said : "I favor the e'ection ol the man who holds the same views you did before vou changed." The Progressive Farmer savs it looks like a fiht to a finish between these Sen ators. IN THE WAREHOUSES. Indications of Good Prices- -Jobn H. Howell Returns. The tobacco warehouses of the citv are beginning to show many evidetceb of old time ectivitv.
