Ed Osborne and David Paul were the witnesses, but from a lack of evi dence, the court discharged him. G. O. Johnson and W. D. Clark: both white, were charged with be ing drunk and disorderly. They were arrested yesterday afternoon in an intoxicated condition, the former still having two bottles of spirits on his person. Johnson said he got the whiskey on a prescription, but that he didn't know the name of the phy sician. He also procured a quart Saturday night from a negro just as he alighted from the Salisbury train, but it was of a mean variety and as he wanted some for medicinal pur poses, he decided to secure a better brand, and, therefore, consulted the doctor. The court put a fine of $10 on Clark and Johnson was given -the choice between paying a fine of $50 or pouring out the remaining whis key, which amounted to little less than a quart, and paying the regular prescription drunk fine, $25. He chose the latter. ..." .Frank Lipes, colored, was in court on a charge of disorderly conduct, which resulted from an effort to cor rect his" : boy Saturday night. Tom!

Stewart, a graduate of Trinity College, and a young preacher of ability . preached a fine sermon at Trinity Methodist church on the text, "The Earth is the Lord's, and thefull- ness, thereof, the people and they that dwell therein." During his discourse , the preacher paid special attention to the duty of the Christian people to the unsavea in their midst, to the negro race, and to all who are in need. Rev. Mr, Stewart told of being in Boston recently, where he said be fore a large audience, "You are send ing missionaries to the poor whites of the South, and perhaps some of us are subscribing to the slum work of New York, but all of this is, the greatest mockery, when we ; remember that there- are those at the very doors of both of us, who are in need of our help." , The speaker said that it was for the South to solve the negro problem by keeping faith with him, and at the same time doing all we could to edu cate and better his condition. The speaker thought, too, that ' there had been enough talking about solving problems, and too little real work to ward their solution. He told of the energetic efforts of the North to solve her problems immigration and for eigners, while as yet the South has done very little toward solving any problems that we have. . tSf that the young men of the South should offer themselves fowards the solution of the great factory problem and the negro problfem-he Brother in Black," as he has been called. ...
