UK HEtKIVsD PRESIDENT POWELL. BY A Letter From Geornre W. Pauk Xx pressea the Denim That thn Work Proceed A Memorial Shalt Likely to be .Erected, The Vance Monument association has held several meetings lately, and at the suggestion of George W. Pack, who Is In New York and who Is anxious to see the work proceed, the associa tion will at onee set about collecting such subscriptions as have not been paid with the view of an early begin ning of the erection of a monument to perpetuate the memory of that great North Carolinian, Zebulon B. Vance. As active. work Is soon to begin, the association will be glad to have sub mitted plans for a monument. It seems to be the Idea of Mr. Pack, who started the memorial fund, and of the committee that there should be no at tempt to erect a statue of the late Sen ator, as it would be Impossible to se cure anything appropriate for the fund that has been subscribed. There will be no attempt to reproduce a likeness of Senator V ance, and the committee would have this borne in mind by those who submit plans. The idea that receives most favorable consideration is that of erecting a granite shaft. It may be decided to erect a base and shaft so that It may hereafter be surmounted by a figure of the Senator. Plans muy be sent to Geo. S. Powell, president of the association. Arrangements are to be made as soon as the fund is collected which will be within a week or two, to commence the erection of the memorial In accord ance with the action of the old Board of County Commissioners and the wishes of those who have contributed to the fund. The delay has been due to the committee's desire to await Mr. Pack's return, as it was desirable that he should be consulted, being the largest subscriber to the fund. A letter from Mr. Pack expresses It as his wish that the work proceed at once. The fund to date is $3328.00. NEWS IN RALEIGH. The Governor Will be In NhmIivIIIo on "Governors' Day." RALEIGH, N.

It is a sand shark. The largest king crab ever seen at Beaufort was also sent. It is like a turtle with a blackish-brown shell, with a long, in flexible and spired tail. He is harm less and has none of the terrible pinch ers with which the running crabs are armed. Inquiry was made as to w hat are the complaints against Farmers' alliance officials to which Secretary-Treasurer Barnes alluded In a letter a few days ago. Editor Ramsay says there were complaints that goods were not ship ped at prices quoted In the alliance price lists. Six or seven years ago the business agency of the alliance used to do a $t00,000 annual business. Edi tor Ramsay says the cause of the changes in the prices was due to fluc tuations after the lists were sent out. Charles E.

The refreshment season at Lookout Park will open Sunday, and the fact that the authorities of Woolsey have rescinded the order against Sunday selling of refreshments will no doubt ause an unusually large crowd to take the trip.

Opening of the Proofed liuca ol the Northern PrMbyterlan General As sembly at Winona lad. "Have Fer vent Lot Amoai Yourselves." WINONA, Ind.. Mar K. Alternate rain and aunahlne today greeted the opening of the 109th Oeneral Assembly of the Presbyterian church In the United States of. America. The as sembly was opened with prayer by Dr. Arthur J. Brown, secretary of the Board of Foreign Missions. The devo tional exercises were conducted by Rev. J. L. Wlthrow, the retiring mederator, who then delivered the opening sermon. In It he said that we lived In the moat restless age our earth has seen since Adam came upon Jt.' Everywhere there waa disquiet and dissatisfaction with existing civil, economic, social and re ligious conditions. And there was evi dence to indicate that the intelligent and thoughtful were apprehensive. For what plentiful devices were Invented to Induce the unchurched to come into the fold. But the decoy did not succeed more than fairly well, with such as showed a studied shynessof the church. What would draw them? Something is wanting, more than they had, to recommend religion to those who were passing It by. Were there any reason able grounds for doubting that the topic pointed to the supply of the need: "Above all things have fervent love among yourselves?" Could anyone estimate the salutary effect It would have upon those mak ing no claim to the Christian name if. from this day on, there should never be heard one harsh word between those who profess to be brethren In Christ. What was needed was such fervent charity that conflicts between Chris tians would be unknown. When such a condition should prevail among Chris tians, men of the world would no longer see faction pulling the hair of faction as soon as the "Amen" ended a pious service of prayer and song. In that happy and halcyon day the world out side the church, tossed as the world was with troublous thoughts and civil convulsions, would see such conditions of amity and calm within the commun ion of saints as would make multitudes crave admission as ever a sailor did a safe harbor. Thus could the world be won, and by no other means. CHICAGO, May 20. The sixty-seventh general assembly of the Cumber land Presbyterian church convened to day with about 2f0 delegates present representing 25 states and territories most of them, however, coming from the South.
