It is but recently that tion of such institutions was possible. Efforts had been made for some years to procure a law-authorizing them, but it was not until February, 1891, that the General Assembly adopted an act of in corporation. This fundamental law or cnarter, while giving large powers, which are essential, has hedged them U.UOUI wnn sucn provisions of restric tion and supervision that fairly carried oui win ensure sare management, should there be a disposition to the con trary. The "Wachovia Loan and Trust company, of Winston. N. C. was or ganlzed in June. 1893. under this act and has begun to do business In the forms outlined. Its stockholders com prise many well known and successful men. living in Winston, Salem and tnrougnout the State, and an examina tion of their names, it is believed, will enime tne company to public confi dence.

Alexander The State Convention in Sympathy witn tne Texas Leiegation to St. Louis Will Adopt a Phenomenal Platform. i Galveston. Tex., Aug. 5. The Podu list State convention was called to or der promptly at 10 o'clock this morning py stump- AsnDy, the state chair man. The morning was spent chiefly in speech-making, the various commit tees on temporary organisation, cre dentials, etc., being appointed. Mr, Burney, of Kern county, was elected temporary chairman, and Mr. Callo way, of Navarro, secretary. Whatever the wishes of the leaders may be as re gards the fusion scheme the leaders will have a hard time carrying it through and evidently will do all they can to hold the matter down in the convention. It is very probable that the platform committee will push a very phenomenal platform to-night and at the present rate the convention is going, it is likely to last until Saturday mgnt. Just before the convention was call ed to order an enthusiastic delegate paraded the hall with the famous Middle of the Road" banner. This was the signal for a wild demonstra tion lasting several minutes and show ed conclusively that the convention is in harmony with their St. Louis dele gation. Abram Fisher made brief remarks. The first business of the session was the calling of the names of the Repre sentatives from the various 4uartea. A majority responded to-the call. The Representatives constitute the official body of the Yearly Meeting. They are expected to attend all the sessions of the meeting, and perform such func tions as are usually performed by del egates in other religious organizations. or in conventions. Credentials of the following visiting Friends were read: J. Walter Malone and wife, Cleveland, O.; Lena E. Hob- son vIllinois; Samuel Beck, London, England, and Asahel Hussey, Indiana. James R. Jones, pastor of the Friends church at Greensboro, extended a warm welcome to the visiting Friends in be half of the Yearly Meeting. There were also many other expressions of greeting. Prominent ministers from the North and West are expected to-day, in addi tion to those present. Rev. Charles Jessup, of Indiana, one of the foremost ministers of the Society in America. will arrive to-night, and will be accom panied by his wife. Rev. Walter Malone made an elo quent appeal to the meeting that the days of George Fox might return, and that the Society of Friends might be awakened to greater usefulness. State Treasurer Wm. H. Worth fol lowed with encouraging remarks, posed fusion between Democrats and Populists. It is very evident that there will be a strong fight made In the Pop ulist convention on the 13th to pre vent it.

The prop osition was approved without opposi tion and its adoption means that the business of the Society will be trans acted this year in an expeditious man ner, and unimportant matters will not be allowed to impede important business. LONDON EPISTLE READ. The epistle from London (England) Yearly Meeting was read and listened to with much interest by the meeting. It was a very strong paper full of ear nestness, deep in thought, elegant in diction. It was read from printed sheets. The epistle was commented upon by Rev. Geo. Wood and others. Epistles from American Yearly Meetings were then taken up and several were read by the assistant clerks. In all the papers from various States two things were especially noticeable: the duty of Friends as citizens, and their attitude on the subjects of temperance and peace. The Friends are now, and always have been, the foremost advocates of arbitration In the whole world. To-day's meeting was held in Joint session. To-morrow there will be sep arate sessions for men and women. The large Meeting House may be easily di vided into two assembly halls by the folding doors. Adjournment for the day at 12:30 p. m., the afternoon session being set apart for religious worship. DR. WEEKS TALKS. Yesterday the Representatives were in session, as is their custom on the day preceding the opening of the Year ly Meeting. Among the matters oi most importance under" consideration was the endorsement of Dr. Stephen B. Weeks' book on "Southern Quakers." Dr. Weeks was present and was re quested to address the meeting. Me said that the history or tne soutn- ern Quakers was one in which he had so much interest that it might be dif ficult for him to find a stopping place If he began to speak on the subject. Southern Friends, he said, as well as other people, were unacquainted with their own long and honoraDie nistory. As far as the general histories of the State are concerned. Friends are gen erally ignored entirely, or only a few lines given to their history, and these statements were usually incorrect.. Thus these histories usually say that Quakers were the first settlers of North Carolina, and that they came to this Colony because of religious persecution in other Colonies, rnis is not true. nc first settlers were not religious reiu- cppq "tipv were urunamy wmiiiuui- cants of the Established Church, but as they had neither church Duuaings. nor priests in the new Colony, they gladly accepted the Christianity that came to them under the garb of Quakerism. This is the reason for the great results coming from the preaching of Ed- mundwn and Fox. in ioa. " slon, on the other hand, it is said, will not change its decision. The Sunday school of the church of the Good Shepherd has very sensibly dispensed with their annual summer picnic, and to-night had an ice cream and cake supper in the yard adjoining the church, and then took the children on a trolley party on the "Electric Beauty" for a two-hours ride over all the lines. This car has 180 lights flash ing all over it and the number of the car. No. 7, is composd of alternate red and white lights. Dr. Mott says to-night he believes Democrats and Populists will fuse on the State ticket: that the Democrats will show a great lack of sense if they don't fuse. He expects the committee to take up that matter specially next week. tiw. boat Jougett came into port to-nfht Mt.

FITZ LEE'S HUMANE WORK. THE INDIANABOLIS MEETING. Many States Send Word That They Will Have Sound Money Representatives Present. Chicago, III., Aug. 5 National head quarters of the sound money Democra cy were transferred to-night from the Palmer House and will be opened in Indianapolis to-morrow for theconvenl ence of the provisional national com mittee, which is to decide the question of calling a convention to adopt a new platform and nominate a presidential ticket. The declaration of Bourke Cockran against another ticket, and the silence of President Cleveland and his cabinet have tended to create a divided sentiment as to the advisability of making another nomination, and the opinion of local leaders of the move ment is that there is no certainty of the representatives of 36 or more States who will be in Indianapolis, s Joining unanimously, in a call for a national convention which will include a nomi nation for President and Vice Presi dent.
