NflCroM Fl«eee4U Oorresponaence Observer. MoOBESVnxE, March 28.—^In the northern part of our town there is a so- burb inhabited by negroea exdumvely, known by the euphonious name of “Slab Town.” Saturday night an epi-«" sode occured there that will not be ix- gottensoon. A blind tiger wagon came ^ong as the shades of evening gathered and offered liquor for sale by the keg, very cheap. The k^ held five gallons each and were offered for $5. The ne groes, after sampling the whiskey, set about to get up the money for two k^. They succeeded in raising $7.75 and the liberal dealers condud^ to sell and wait till some other time for the bal ance, $2.25. They received their money and departed. The n^iroes at once set atout for a division of their purchase. They began to pour, but only a pint of whiskey could be poured from each keg. 'ihey could hear liquid shake about in the k^ but it would not come out. They took out the head of one of ther k«gB by the re^. moval of a hoop. Inside Uiey found a pint flask with its' ne6k ingeniously fastened in the bune hole of the keg and entirley surrounded by water.. Thus they paid $7.75 for one quart of whiskey with nine and three-fourths quarst of water to weaken it. There is no clue as to who the guilty parties are, but I guess when they come back after the $2.25 still due they will be nabbed or mobbed. An iMtereatliiK IteUrMd Bamor, A well founded rumor says that the Southern Bailroad will have a through line from Chattanooga to Charleston via Asheville and “The Land of the Sky,” In fact it is started that a deal of the kind has already been made and that official announcement of the mat ter will soon be given out. The through line to Charleston by the Southern is obtained by the pur chase of the South Carolina and Geor gia Extension. This road runs from Camden, 9: C., to Marion, N. 0., a distince of about 125 miles, and is a valuable piece of property. It was originally built as a part of the Three C’s road that was to form a connecting link between Charleston and Cincinnati. It is also understood that the South ern will operate through vestibule trains over this through line. With the purchase of this extension the Asheville traffic to Charleston' anH other Southern points would, to a very large extent, be turned. SiW .

Encore sdcceedied encoirie and flowers were thrown on the stage in jmifusion After the performance there was a de monstration that capped the climax As Herr Kubelik came out of the stage door t» get into his carriage and go to his hotel several hundred im pressionable young women crowded about the door and the police had their hands full in keeping them back. When the young violinist appeared there was an onslaught. He was hug ged and kissed and pulled about for several minutes. When he came out of the scrim mage, thanks to the police, the women screamed “coward” at him aud pelted him with flowers. An iinmense wreath^ wei^hinf several pounds, was forcibly hung abbu£ his neck.' In aii exhausted ooaditiea he was .help^ to h» cairiage. and the crowd of exdted women dis petaed. Seamen Saved as If kjr a niraele. Charlotte, March 24.—A special from Wilmington, N. C., says : Captain Sanders, of the steamer Compton, which amved yesterday from the scene of the wreck of the Spanish steamer near beaufort, this week, tells of a mysterious coincidence in connec tion with the rescue of the crew. Tues day morning, with a gale of wind blow ing and heavy seas breaking over the massive bulk of iron in the steamer there suddenly came fui unexpected calm and immediately half of the weather-beaten crew put off in a life boat. Their daring inspired the brave life saving station men and they rushed out and rescued the remaining fourteen seamen. Before the ship wrecked sailors had hardley taken refuge on the cutter Algonquin the storm resumed its fury and a few minutes later the big steamer broke in two and the bridge upon which the crew had been standing since ihe Saturday before went under. It was indeed one of the miracles of the sea. Baa me Coaat Une Been Sold? Wilmlnston Dispatcli. It is rumored here that the parties holding the controlling interest in the Atlantic Coast Line system have sold out to the Pennsylvania Railroad Com pany. The price paid for this controll ing interest cannot be learned, but it must be large. While this report cannot be corrob orated now, for all in a position to know are reticent or profess ignor ance, still there is probably consider able tmth in it, for the offw some years ago of $400 per share for the con- ^Uing interest in the Wihnington & Weldon Eaihroad, which is the parent road of the Atlantic Coast Line and the main link in the whole system. The Coast Line comprises over 2,500 miles of road in Virginia, North Caro- hna and iSouth Carolina, eon_ necting with the Plant System of Gepr- forms a short main line between Florida and the northeastern States. The AUantic Coast Line is in excellent condition, the market value of its stock IS far above par, and it has paid its owners handsome dividens for years. The Tajrloee* JPo'iMBer Strnnc Vp, Washikgtok,. N. C., March 25,—Last night Jim Boston, ooloi^ was taken from the jail at ^lliamston, where he had been incarcerated for safe keeping, brought back within a mile of this town and hanged to a swe^t gnm tree. His body was found dangling to the tree limb early this morning. Boston is the negro who several days ago placed poison in the coffee to kill the nurse at Dr. T. Tayloe’s, but instead of the misott reaching the old colored woman >r. Tayloe and his family were all pcHsoned-andseveral.^emb^ of the family came near dying. It was only through prompt aid that the f^ily were saved from death. After Boston was arrested and placed in jail he con fessed to the crime, but stated that his aim was to make way with the nurse. Fears of lynching were circulated among our citizens immediately after the crime and he was taken to the jail in Williamston. How the mob secured Boston from the jul in Will^mston cannot be ascer tained as communication between the two towns has been cut off due to the lynchers cutting the wires. There was considerable excitement when • the lynching was first learned, but now all is quiet. KlUed on a BaUro&« Bridce. Salisbury, N. C., March 24.—An unknown man was killed by a freight train at the Yadkin river, six miles from Salisbury, Saturday night about 9 o’clock. The man was walking across the railroad bridge and was run down by the train. He was instantly killed. The body was picked up and brought to Salisbury. Coroner Dorsett conduct ed- an investigation yesterday morning and dedded that the unfortunate man came to his death by being struck by a train, for which his own negligence was raponsible. No papers were found on the man’s person that give’ any idea of hu identity and he was buried at the county home. The officers continue to make arrests for the robbe^ of Southern Bailway cars in the Salisburyjand Spencer yards. Saturday night Officer Engle arrested John flemiog, colored, charged with stealing ten boxes of tobacco from a car of the Southern about a month ago. Fourteen pounds of the tobacco was found at Fleming’s boarding place. He says^ he found the tobacco. Four other parties have been arrested in connection with this case. The robbery off South ern cars has reached proportions here to ore undr^med of. Other and more important arrests are expected to follow m a short while. JPoU Xax^tew~W|beM B Charlotte Obaenrer. - At the meeting of the Democratic State executive committee last night Chairman Simmons read the opinion of Ctet^rge Bountree, Esq., that the poll ta:% {NTOvidon of the constitutional amendment is valid and that as a pre requisite to voting next November the pou tax must be paid by the 1st of May This was adopted as the sense of the committee. This is the opinion of Chiurman and Senator Simmons, and, as we see in the Washington correspon dence of The Baldgh Post, of Chairman and Senator Pritchard also. It is like- wiK that of IHstrict Attorney Holton as ^appears from our Winston spedal thtt morning. Mr. A. J. Maxwell, of Rockingham, a layman, and derk of the State Senate, presents the same view in a communication in ano&er column, and we are holding until to morrow—because not receiving undl late last night—an argument on the same side Of the question from E. J Justice, Esq., of Marion, one of the best lawyers in the west. Jt may be added that, whatever the law, this question is not at all likely to get into the courts, but tlie interpreta- ti(Mi which has been generally accepted, which has the concurrence of the chair men of both of the parties, and to which the Democratic State executive committee has given ks endorsement, is likely to govon, and that no man who is liable to poll taj(, except such as are exempted by the county commis sioners, will vote this year unless it is paid by the 1st of May. To pay it is the policy of safety, anyhow. As has been suggested, it must be paid some time, and it had as well be done first as We urge this course upon those who expect to vote in the election of next November.

ChUdren In Faeu»rlea. Referring to the fact that a jury re cently gave one thousands dollars dam ages against a factory because a boy employed thire was injured, upon the ground that it was negligence on the part of the company in employing the child, the Durham Herald says: We have no fault to find with this verdict, but there are two sides to all questions, and we propose to go into the other side. This child being a minor, it is presumed that the suit was brought by Us parents. It is also more than probable that his parents sought and se cured work for him at the factory, but of course took upon themsdves no re sponsibility for his injury. In this particular case the parents of the child and the owners of the factory are equal ly guilty and no reasonable man can make anything else of it.” PJaycd «lie Plano ST Hoara • Waxer.

He began at 9 o’dock last night. He took his first rest at 2 o’clock this morning and thereafter had only three short rests until 5 o’clock this after noon, when his fingers became cramp ed. Massage was resorted to and the pianist re-attacked the key-board. During the evening his face was drawn, his hands were swollen and his arms supported on cushions. When he stopped at midnight, having won the wager with 14 minutes to spare, .he collapsed from nervous prostration. A crowd packed the cafe where he performed. ■lowed hj Lockoat. AuonsrrA, Ga., March 28,—At a meet ing of the King Cotton Mill operatives, it was dedded to make a demand for a 10 per cent, increase in wages on April 7,^ It is the understanding that if the King Conapany grants the request, the other mills will be requested to meet the raise. If the King Mill refuses, the operative will strike. The plan is to have the strike in this factory supported by the employes of other mills. The King Mill authortiies say they will not comply with the demands and a strike by their operatives will be met by a lockout in the other mills, includ ing those at Bath, Warrenville, Lang ley and Graniteville, S.

VicxgBDBO, Mmb, , March 27.—Nearly dght inches of rain fdl in the past 24 hours and it has almost isolated Vicks burg, so far as railway traffic and wire communication is concmied. Not a train on the Yazoo & Missisdppi Valley road has entered or left the dfy since 9:30 o’dock last night, when a mail and passenger train left for New Or leans. This train only succeeded in getting as far as Port Gibson, 250 miles south, where it is still held, the tracks south of that point for two miles twing WMhed away. In this dty the damage will amount to several thousand dollars. Many business houses and reddences have been flooded to a depth of several feet. Streets are washed out and many bridges undermined. At the National Cemetery many terraces were cut to pieces and the fine steel bridge across Mint Springs bayou, built by the gov ernment five years ago, in on the point of callapse and tmffic across it has been stopped.

Association with others is an ab- sduto necesdty if we^woold be sc ful. It would be like sedng a soldier fighting dng^y fOr his country to see the Christian fighting for God from without the church, “In union thore is strength and suc cess. We can see this illustrated every day in the budness worid. The bad ness man with a small capital finds it to his benefit to unite his money and interests with those of his neighbor The benefits they derive from their combined capital and labor are propor tionately greato' thap those that would accrue if both worked dngly. And these partners in turn find it braefidal to jmn their partnerships, and so on until the great cwporation is founded, each union extending the benefits and posdbilitiee of all concerned without the loss so common in dngle effort. “E^ery man who bdieves in Christ should ally himself with the church What branch of the church he attends makes but litUe £fference The par ticular creed chosen midEes but lit^e difference, for we all are working to ward one common end. To join the church is a duty we owe to Christ, for to Him it manifests our stand that we are not ashamed of His name. “Man also owes it to himsdf to be come a member of the churdi, for in the churches he finds himsdf associated with men and women of the highest aims, morals and ideals.

Plans for the new Union steam rail road station that is to be built in Wash ington have been recdved and inspected with interest by Senators and ^pre- sentatives and prominent dtizensof the District. The new station is to be one of the finest in the world. It will built of white marble and will cost about $5,000,000. It is to be located two or three squares northeast of the present Baltimore & Ohio station and will have a front^;e of more than 700 , as great as that of the Cajntal building, with a broad plaza in front, to which several of the broadest avenues of the city will direcUy lead, and will contain all of the modem improve ments in railroad passenger station con struction. The various railroads enter ing the city will connect through a tun nel under Capitol Hill and enter the station by a viaduct and elevated tracks, as all grade crosdngs are to be abolished In the last Congress a bill was pai after many years of controversy, pro^ viding for the erection of two railroad stations and the removal of the tracks from the mail or system of public parks that extends from the Captol to the White Hoi^. When the two main roads running into Washington were consolidated, however, the Union Sta tion project was talten up and all the l^slation now necessary to cany it out is a slight amendment to the law al ready passed. This will be adopted by both houses very soon and the compre hensive plan of improving and beauti fying the capital dty will thus be in augurated. **8erre the Eiord.^ News and Observer. The Lenoir Nevra says that the last words uttered by the late Rev. Dr. Jarvis Buxton, “the grand old man, were “serve the lord.” For half a century Dr. Buxton had served the Lord by preaching His gospd and living according to the precepts of the Master. 'The gospel he preached to others was his strength and support in his old age, and in death his last ad monition t(dd of his unfaltering faith. It is related that the poet, Swin burne, in his oldage, invited acompany of brilliant men to dine with him—men of convivi^ taste, who were noted for their wit and wisdom. The life of the party was the late Col. IngersoU, who was never so charming and captivating. He made fun of the faith of the [>reachers and of good men and women in his own inimitable way, and after o^of hishapiHest sallies of ridicule, CdT IngersoU tiimed to the aged poet and app^ed to him to endorse his profanation. The poet’s reply was, in substance, “I am growing old, and as we draw near the grave we oome to look upon the matters differently,^ jentiy rebuking his friend with whom le hdd many views in common. How much brighter is the lowing fMth of Dr. Buxton than the flickering light of the aged poet!

We have waited for Him, and He wlU save uS” (Zecb. xil. 10; Isa. xxv. 9). Saul’s converdon waa a pattern or type of the converdon of the natimi a Tim. 1.160. 7-S. He waa three days wlthoat aicbt and neither did eat nor drink. The men who were with him fell to the earth, seeing the light and being afraid. They also beard the voice of some one speaking, bat did not hear the words, for those were for Saul only. Compare xxii. 9; . xxvi. 14. It was somewhat like the expe^nce of Daniel and of our Lord as recorded In Dan. X, 7; John zil. 28. 2& That Saul reaUy saw Jeaoa is evident from vi 17 and I Cor. xv, 8. What Jesus said to Saul as He commanded him to rise and stand upon his feet is fnlly stated In Paul’s testimony before Agrippa In xxvi; 10-18, Condder him three days blind and fasting, the world ahnt oat. the body mortified, dying to self. God deaUng with tiia souL It la the period of death preceding resurrection (Gen zxU. 4; xlli, IT; Jonah II. 17; Hos. vl. 2; John 11. 19; Rev. xl. 11). lO-U. Inquire in tbe hooae of Jndaa for one called Saul of Tarsua, for, behold, be prayeth. Thus said the L(h4 to Ananlaa, a de vout disciple and one who bad a good report of aU the Jews at Damascus (xxii. 12). He. Uke Pliilip in a previous lesson. Is prompt and obedient, one «i whom tbe Lmd could rdy to do His bidding. His reply reminds us of Sam- od and Isaiah a Sam. III. 4, A 8, 10 vl, 8). These three days find Saul and his Lord In Intimate communion. Saul talks with tbe Lord, and the Lord In visimi reveals Himaelf more fully to SauL From Jesus Christ by revelation he receive tbe gospd and from Him also all his fotnre Instroe- tion (GaL 1,11. 12, IS^ 16). U-llL He la a choaen veaad onto to ar my nama. Ananias hesitates just a little as I thinks of Saul's reputation and anttiorlty and bis msdness a_ Christians. Tbe Lord gradously beats with Ananias In his obJeeaon% but re peats EUs command to go assures him that Saul Is to be His spedal to tbe goitUes. One would think that the Locd’s first assurance to Ananias that tbe persecutor was pray ing wooU have been sofl'^dent ei agement, but we are so slow to expect wonders fhan Him whose name Is WonderfuL Saul Is not only -rbftsrn to bear tbe name of Christ, but also to suffer, tor faithfulness to Christ and raflering for His sake are fHap^lllly^ly In this present evil age^ while tbe whole world lleth In the wicked one (GaL L 4; I Jdm t, 19t B. V.). See also JAn xv, iS, 19; xvl, 88; PhlL I, 29; II Tim. II, 12; 111, 12, but be encouraged by Bom. vlU, IS; 1 Cor. x. Gen. Fred Funston is said to have been much chagrined by the fact thM lionized on iiia recent vim^^^hington, he was ahnost ig- 5°^: We ha^y expected it froa Washington, but sach tnMtment is no than he deserved.
