Literary Union, Everett Hall, a crowded house greeted with enthusiastic applause the Her. William B. Derrick, D. D., Mis sionary Secretary of the African Meth odist Episcopal Church, and one of ths foremost Afro-American orators of th country, when he aroso to deliver hit address on Abraham Lincoln." Hit speech was preceded by a musical pro gram. Among other things Mr. Der. rick Paid : , 'Abraham Lincoln was a 'typical American. Ho was simple in his hab its, whh no pride or pretensions, acces sible to all and with a kind work for all He was Void as well as manly, though mild in all his utterances. It was mj privilege to gaze upon ..him during his viit to Foitross Monroe, when the wai of the Rebellion was at its height. In personal appearance he stood - over sij feet high, and was of a thin and wiry build. His countenance was singularly pleasing. It bore the stamp of a kind gentle disposition. In his moral qual. ties lie was unsurpassed by any public character of his day and generation. His private worth shonoout as brightly as his public virtue. When the party of equal rights had developed strength, and the fulness of time had come for s bold declaration of its principles, tht founders of this party, in convention as Fcrublcd, discussed tho different name 1 hat were brought before them from whom to select a standard-bearer.

He was chosen to go forthand proclaim the doc trine, 'Freedom to tho slave and perpe tuity to the American, Republic.' Re card'ess of tho frowns and erroneous constructions put upon his motives bj the enemies of free speech and free la bor, he did his whole duty without fear, without favor and without affectation. 'As an orator and a statesman Mr. Lincoln's speeches were devoid of clap, trap. They wcro broad and dignified.

IrTtpiies in his ad es lb his opponents, Mr. Lincoln's mas' erly as well ns logical arguments were without the smallest infusion oi political rancor or personal vanity, for ifcttinj self, sincere to the cause which h represented, never skimming the sur face, but always grappling fairly with the whole question at issue, overflow ing with eieatness of thought and exalt eJncsi of ideas. 'Chosen to .become President in a period of the Nation's history when ths dark clouds of disloyalty and tbe iron hand f treason threatened the destruc tii n of the government, he felt that he was chosen as the exponent of a great principle, a principle upon. which the future of the Nation depended, believ ing that the hour had come that the American people could not exist, any longer half slaves and half free.

Ihe van of conquest, Lincoln, liko tho pilot, who in obscurity of the night, tossed by the tempest, raises his eye towards heaven. coking thero for his polar star to direct jLm in his course, so Lincoln, this great apd good man, the greatest product of tie Western world, looked toward his pilar star for divine guidance, while the Nation was passing through a sea of carnage and blood, and that polar star was duty, was right, was Christ. Hav ing djrived help from above he went forward with steady hand and unfalter ing step in defense of thoso principles which were essential for the main tenance and prosperity of the govern ment. From his pen went forth in the fullness of time, the greatest document ever issued by . mortal man, declaring the freedom of 4,000,000 of human btincs. nd for that act alone the nnrijr President will occupy a place in the hnaiis and affections of these people and their children until generation? yet unborn. Yes, in the hearts of the whole American people. Still more in the hearts and afFcctlons of the friends of humanity the world over. 4 The benefits that have accrued from emancipation cannot be told by mortal tongue. The Negro was not tho only beneficiary. The- " wholo American people was emancipated from tho shackles intolerance and shame- " The whole world has felt the touch, and tbe oppresscu ui all nations' exclaim thai justice and liberty and truth met in the immortal proclamation of emnnc-ipticn.

Memphis, Tenn. The General Con ference of the Methodist Church, South, continues in session here. The committee on educational re ported a voluminous report, which sue;preeted the insertion of a clause inl the Discipline which authorized the organization of a board of education. The report of the committee on tem perance was read. It suggested the use of unfermented wine when practi cable in the administration of the com munion. Dr. Yates, of North Carolina, moved that the report of the special commis sion appointed by the General Confer ence, which met at St. Louis in 1890, to revise chapters 8 and 9 of the Dis cipline be referred to a special com mittee of seven with instructions ' to revise and report. Adopted. Long debates were held on non con nectional papers. Dr. E. D. Edwards, of Virginia, of fered an amendment to that clause of the minority report tinder discussion, which added: "Discourage any paper which the Conference may deem detri mental to the connectional organ." Another flood-tide of argument was let loose upon the amendment. Dr. Hobs thought non-connectional papers were trespassers npon the territory of the connectional papers and that it was not fair or just competition. Dr. Richardson thought it was preposter ous to attempt to muzzle the press. He wanted to have free and just com petition. Dr. Palrnore strongly op posed the encouraging of non-connectional papers.

The N. C. Agricultural Experiment Station at Raleigh, desiring to extend the cultivation of Soy Beans, proposes to distribute a quantity ef eeyd to careful planters desiring to test their merits. The only condition is that each applicant semi lOcentsin t06tage stamps to pay cost of transpiration by mail. Enough seed will be sent to each applicant to plant 110 acre. The fir6t 400 application wi!l be filled in tbe order received. . The Station regards this as a very valuable forage plant. It is of upright growth 2 to 3 ft. high and isalegamine capable of adding nitrogen from the air to the soil in which , it grows. It is planted in hill's or drills, 2J to 3 ft. apart according to richness of soil, and 15 to 24 inches apart in the row. It can be planted any time from March to Jul', either alone or in the corn row between the corn, and 2 to 4 beans are usually planted in each hill. Soil suitable to it and the general prepara tion is the same as for corn. When planted for corn both crops can be ensilaged together, and the corn en silage will be much improved by the combination, or the plants when planted alone can be cut for forage before they get too woody. The seed are found in small pods f qnd can be saved by cutting tbe whole plant when leaves and pods have turned a golden hue.. They can easilybe beaten out when dry. If cuttiag is delayed be yond this time the pods will open and some will be lost on tho ground. It will not pay to pick the beans. It is also a good table bean,- but requires long time to cook. The Station nrges a careful trial of this crop. Barkeepers Stirred Up. Winston, N. C. Winston barkeep ers are raising a howl over the rigid ordinance passed by the aldermen.

TAR HEELS AROUSED. industrial Progress of the Old North Stats. tCharles Hallnch in the Philadelphia Time and Chariest n Mew an-l Courier. Ten years ago the " people . of one section of North Carolina hardly knew what another section of the State pro duced. People outside didn't know, for North Carolina is a great domain, half the length of Texas, with a large part mountainous and but little traversed by railroads until recently. The inhabitants from way back were always quiet, contented and unob trusive, and carelesswithal about bus iness pursuits, and the early school geographies summed it up as one half wilderness, given to naval 6tores, and the other half water and sand beach teeming with fish. So that for many generations travellers passing cast and west merely skirted the heads of the sounds on the south or flanked the postern of the Commonwealth away up north in the Ohio River basin. Whenever the Tar Heel State was men tioned the thought.was of bears or a segregated game preserve like the Yel lowstone National Park. But that was "lang syne," as a Scotchman would say, and many of the early settlers of North Carolina were Scotch- Latterly the State has gotten a move on herself, whereby railroads now at last penetrate all but seven of its ninety-six counties. Wher ever there is a bed of ore, or a stone quarry, or deposits of coal, tramways are sure to be found. Manufactories have sprung up all over. No lees than one hundred and sixty-six cotton mills and one million spindles arein a steady whirl, and five hundred and fifty mis cellaneous factories supplement the clatter and hum. Only until her State exhibit was set up at New Orleans, ten years ago, and followed by fairs at Atlanta, Boston. Chicago and elsewhere, did the industrial world suspect that North Carolina was capable of anything but tar and fish. Progress has gone . on so quietly and unostentatiously since then that tbe whole country is amazed at tho develop ment. So insidiously did the spirit of industry invert the tleepy old tur pentine orchards and mountain rifts that tbe ancient community got awake and astir before its advanced neigh bors realized that there was any ex citement afoot. And now, in tbe lat ter day, there is no place between the two oceans equal to the "Old North Carolina" for investment. Gould, Corbin and Yanderbiit found it out soon and have promptly led the van of an immigration -from Northern-"jtrmi the North and Weal to oc jfwhe opportunities best offer,not only the mountain and Piedmont "regions, but along the neglected and sleepy seaboard. They are bringing in new indnstrics and revolutionizing old ones. Under a new system of agricul ture they have lifted the farmers' burden of debt by caustng an acre of land to produce the amount of three. Three crops a year are now raised instead of one as hitherto, and the profit of each is enlarged. In the Newbern district alone tho value of the trucking interests has reached three and three-quarter millions a year and is one-ninth of the total for the whole United States. Gold is being mined at a profit in thirty-one coun ties. Seven-eights of all -the mica used in the United States aro claimed to be produced within its limits. Its fisheries lead all others. Its whale fisheries engage tho labors of a dozen vessels from New Bedford and Pro vincetown during ,tL summer. Its oysters receive the attention of eight packing establishments. Its 'lumber output is one hundred millions of feet per annum. It has moro popular seaside and mountain resorts than any other individual State, and a greater variety of gems and precious stones. Topographically North Carolina is like Old Mexico, with its three grand climatic divisions, only that tho peaks of the mountain region are rounded and not so high by half, tho loftiest being less than 7,000 feet. And we find in both countries the same com prehensive plant life and exuberant flora. ISotanlsts aver that there are 1,900 species of flowering plants alone in North Carolina, and of course the soils are various and capable of in definite production in . any direction that horticulturists may elect. Tbe flat seaboard region, which tallies with the terra caliente of Mexico, excepting, in fervor of midsummer heats, is tbe chosen ground for the fruit gTower and truck Taiser, and it is shortly to become the teat of extensive dairy and cattle interests. Experiments already made at Newbern, Elizabeth City and other points prove what the botanists have all along declared that pasture and meadow grasses grow as luxuriantly as other plant growths, and that all that farmers need to make J their own good beef, hay, cheese, but ter and milk is to adopt those courses which common practice elsewhere de clares are proper and right. Experi ments in hay culture and beef and milk prodnction are - already well ad vanced, and the State agricultural ex periment farm "has listed twenty-six kinds of grass and clover, hich it advises to use for hay or pasturage. The upshot of all this is to demon strate what the seaboard is capable of, what the requirements are and where the gates of special opportunity are widest aiar. Cultivated lands with improvements and buildinprs can be bought anywhere along the line of the Norfolk and Southern Railroad, which traverses the eleven tide water conn- ties, at 215 to $25 an acre- Labor is cheap at 65 cents per day, or $8 to si 2 per month, and rations and is tractable and efficient if well trained and handled and promptly paid. There are plenty of churches and schools and irA 1 no beggars, tramps or toughs. Farm schools, for whites and blacks, if established in available districts, would disseminate much needed information in respect to many lines of industry which have been neglected to over looked since the war. Vine culture would prove a most profitable business if conducted on intelligent methods. Columbia's Big Duck Mill. The new cotton-mill plant at Oolum 'ia, S. C, was formally dedicated on Vpril 25, whea Hon. Aretas Blood started the power in motion. The event caused a gcat deal of interest, md was witnessed by hundreds of citizens of Columbia and neighboring cities and towns. The new mill is of brick, 400x150 feet. Spur tracks lead ip to the mill, and afford means of jetting products to the main lines of railroad. The mill will manufacture iotton ducking of all grades. One of the novelties of the mill is that the only motive power to be used in the operation of the machinery will 1e electricity which will be generated 'iy the turbine wheels, which are to be run by the power from the canal. The power house for the present will have two 1000-horse power' electric genera tors, which will communicate the power to 15 dynamos distributed throughout the building. From each of these lynamos in the building 15 shafts will 'e run, and in that way it is said that there will be a very great saving in the imount of friction and shafting. Thin s the first experiment of the kind upon such a large scale, but there is every reason why the current should work to tdvantage. What little use has been made of it shows that there is no diffi culty in commanding the power. Tbe three wires which transmit the power from the power house to the mill are run underground and enclosed in tar cases. The mill will be ready to begin full operations about June 1. The full Board of Directors follows: Aretas Blood, D. R. Sortwell,E. S. Converse, G. S. Marsh, George Wallace, Stephen Green, John 8. Jenkins, Charles K. Oliver and Robert K. Waring. At present there are 18,000 spindles in the mill, but the design ot the plant calls for 30,000, the balance to be ad ded on. The building, according to the or iginal desitrn. was intended to be a hollow square.

MINERS MAKE WAR. They Use Dynamite and Blow Up Engines and Plants. Birmingham, Ala. Continued threats by striV k g miners have been made for some time against those who are now working arid against all oper ators who h.ve been trying to break the big strike by putting into the mines negro labor. At an early hour Mon day morning these threats were carried into effect. An armed mob of about two hundred supposed strikers assem bled at Horse Creek and began the de struction of mine property generally. The mob first went to Price's mines. thich have been working at the union rate, and placed dynamite in the boil ers and among the machinery as well as in the head of the elopes. This was touched off, and everything in eight was a complete wreck. The engines were torn up and the mines blocked by the explosion of the dynamite. Then the strikers went to a sidetrack, where there were several cars loaded with coal. These too were given dy namite and were torn up. Another string of cars was turned loose down a heavy grade and they were wrecked. They then proceeded the Vicot mines, where the scalehouse was oiled and fired. All this time dozens of volleys by the riotous miners were being fired and not a single person would venture out. The reason thut no people were killed is that none interfered with the misers. The mob left coming east ward, but quickly dispersed. COMMONWEALERS SENTENCED. Coxey, Brown and Jones Have a Hard Time of It. Washington, D. C. The 3 leaders of the Commonweal, Jacob Slecher Coxey, Marshal Carl Browne and Chris topher Columbus Jones, have been found guilty of violating the laws by a jury of their peers and will have to submit to a sentence hereafter to be imposed by the court for their recent demonstration on the capitol. All three of the accused were convicted on the first count of the indictment which charged them with displaying in the capitol grounds the banner of tho Coxey Good Roads Association. Jones, of Philadelphia, was acquitted of the second count which accused him of treading on the grass, but Coxey and Urowne were convicted. They secured bail in $500 each and will try to get an appeal. Two weeks may elapse dnring which the trio will be free on bail, before the motion for a new trial trial is argued and decided, The penalty, provided by Jaw is the same for each offense, viz: A fine not to exceed $100 and im prisonment in jail for not moro than 60 days or both, within the discretion of the court. Accordingly the punish ment which may be meted out to Coxey and Browne is $200 and 120 days, while Christopher Columbus Jones is subject to $100 and 60 days.

At half past 8 o'clock Sunday morning D. R. Flen- uiken, a prominent commission mer chant and confederate veteran of this city, about fifty years old, attempted to pick up a borrowed rifle, intending to return it. Ihe hammer of the weapon struck a chair and the weapon was discharged, shattering his wrist. Amputation of the arm was necessary. Flenniken had accident insurance to the amount of $41,000 and will get one-third of that sum.
