Quint Smith, Prof. Keesler, J P Query, John Bost and W M Stuart were confined in the Cabarrus county jiil last night to await the approach of an angry mob. The undaunted courage of the young men as they rallied to the assistance of the determined sheriff, is deserving of great praise, for there in that gloomy prison with all its forbidding aspects, these bold men steod shoulder to shoulder, expect ing momentarily the midnight at tach which would bring death and disaster to all. But as the minutes and hours rolled on and the wee small hours of the night approached no signs of brewing trouble startled those listening ears, but in siiesce these men waited what might be in evitable. But soon dawn, in all its glory Bhed over the silent prison the rays of the morning snn, and from the silent corridors, these men, with slow and steady tread, left the scene of anticipated blood shed and riot "One of the Boys."

Prettident K11k Opposes Foetball While II is Predecessor Introduced It Into the State. The position President Kilgo, of Trinity College, has taken on foot ball, is stroDgly combated by the advocates of this great American sport. A prominent gentleman who haB had a deal of experience with college boye, and who is in the city for a few days, said yesterday: "I notice that jou quote what Dr. Kilgo says against football. It is fair to state that Trinity 'College introduced through its president, Dr. Cro we'll, modern football in this State. And Dr. Crowell was re. peatedly endorsed by his trustees aud great regrets -expressed at his resignation. 'Doctors differ.' "As to the dangers of the game let me make some suggestions Many lives are lost among bathers. Should bathing be abolished? Peo ple are constantly thrown out of buggies, limbs broken and lives lost. Should buggyriding be abolished? Two Sunday school scholars were killed by their teacher? (Durrani). Should Sunday schools be abolished? Children fall out of trees. Shall tree climbing be stopped, etc., etc. "That there ii little real danger in foo ball is proyed by the fact that the game goes on in all the col leges, aud many of the schools, towns, villages and cities every day for many weeks, tens of thousands of plavers, and in proportion to the numbers engagea the Berious acci dents are few.

What right has the church over the marital relations of a preacher? is a question that is troubling the Virginia Methodist Conference. Froai the debate, which we publish below, it lipped that a young Methodist preacher has shocked some of the older brethren by get ting married within two months after haying joined the Conference: The debate was t.3 follows; When the seme cf Rev. T'lomus E Johnson, of Rappahsnuock, wa3 reached, quite a warm and unusual discussion arose. Mr. Johnson re ceived his itinerant orders jast a ye-ir ago, and in two or three months was married. Dr. Whitehead brought the matter to the attention of the conference, 83jicg that it was a serious matter for a young man to eater the ministry in that way, and immediately afterward take upon himself an additional burden and expense. Tne doctor thought Mr. Johnson should be called upm by the conference to explain w hy lie married so soon after entering the ministerial work. Dr. Whi-.ebead said he had heard of a m :n's taking a wife unto himself w thin a year under such circumstances, but that th 8 case v,as very unusual. Nothr ing of the kind htd occurred before in the hisiory of the Virginia Con ference. Presidicg E:der Watts, of Mr. Johnson's distric, defended the voting prea"hor, eit'ut that he should not be held accountable to the c:n-fereuc-j for.hu marriav. Dr. Petersen said bis Brother Whitehead h.d rervod in that con ference a long time, &nd had hud much experience ia such matters. iYiAiiv o-ner ench iustauife, said Dr. Peterson, bud arisen, mid be t!:oi?gb! it as strange that Dr. Whitehead had not previously taken tha etttnd he had. "ldeuy that," eaid Dr. White head, somewhat warmly, adding that a man neier came into, the confer ence as a single man aud married within two or three mouths. He thought Mr. Johnson should at .east make an explanation of his conduct. Dr. Peterson replied ty saving that the conference was wasting time in talking about a ase when all the talking in creation couldn't change the facts or make the man aoytuing other than a manied mau. Rev. Dr. Clarke referred to Shukeeneare's maxim 'Loye is a piece of uaanity," and in'unaied that when one of Cupid's darts pierced a youog man, he would nM stand upon whether or not he was ja minister of the uospel or an ordinary citizen. . " JW. Dr. Tillett said he thought Dr. Whitehead had entirely misled the point in this cas . Ir. was, he went on, whether or not Mr. John son's dnties as itinerant worker of the conference had been interfered with. ., As the young preacher in quest'on was not present, his Pre siding Elder spoke for him, saying that Mr. Johnson had done faithfnl and efficient work, acd had himself borne the additional expense neces sary on account of h s marriage. The Presiding Elder though, that the young cs&a would be abie to render just as good service to the church in future, and Mr. Johnson , wis con-, tinned as a candidate for. deaconate orderSr-beiDg adyanced to the class of be second year. - THANKSGIVING PROCLAMA TION.

The young fellow became somewhat confused before leaving, having found ihe young ladies so agreeable that he proposed to three of them, all of whom accepted. The proposition was of quite a different nature from what many would infer. It was that if the young ladies would bring him a bushel of scalybarks, he would go beyond the market price and pay them SI. 50 for them. He was very much surprised when several days later the ladies entered his place of business, bringing with them the soalybarks. The young fellow was embarrassed, but paid the price, whereupon the ladies thanked him for his special fay r. Hews from Stanly.
