With this issue we send out a supple ment, giving a nummary of the general political news of the country, and we oelieve that our many readers will fully appreciate this new departure. By the enterpiise of the Soutnern Newspaper Uniou of Charlotte, we will be able to furnish a like supplement to our readers about oace a month without any addi tional cost to them and very little more t j us. Our aim is ta keep our readers full posted for we know that they ap preciate cur efforts. Sampson Atderson, who but a fw days ago, was bragging of his Demo cracy, was given tne marble heart by his Democratic colleagues for Lee Christian, anew comer from Richmond county. Lee is a good fellow, but if he knows where the cemetery is, we are sure that he does not kn w the location of a single owner's lot. But, then, what does Democracy care about the ceme tery owned by cegrces. The negroes who voted for Democracy, many of whom were Anderson's bosom friend?, should have lonktd out for his interest. We ( u'olisa in another column a notice of a civil service examination to bs held in Raleigh to fill pliceis in the Postal Service. We urge ycuog colored men and women to stand this examination, aud if poasibie get on the eligible list, as that is the only chance at present to get in the government service in that department. We think an examination will also be held in Charlotte and prob ably Wilmington the same date." Let those interested make enquiries about the facr. Stand the examinations, "boys," and get ready to get some of the.luscious plums that must fall ere long. Mr. Lonis C. Carver has been award ed by the trustees of the Deaf and Dumb aud Blind Icstitution the contract for building the northern wing of the Col ored Department for the turn of $3,500, this being the lowest bid submitted. The other wing was built by the Park Lumber Company about two years ago. Mr. Carver is a first class workman and we re j )ice to see him so successful among so many other worthy bidders, all of whom except himself were white. We feel warranted in saying that Mr. Carver will by his work demonstrate that the negro only needs a man's chance in the race of life. It is a freezing day in August when a Brougbton does not get office. Before Mr. Gaston Brougbton can take the official "robes" of watchman at the Agricultural Department off of him and give it to Mr. Georger W. King, who is anxiously awaiting its delivery, he is clothed with a new robe by the Democratic Aldermen formerly worthily worn by that zealous Democratic worker, Mr. Seth Jones. It was too bad, after Mr. Jones had wagged all the way from the cemetery with that magnificent bouquet for May or Rus8, to be thus dealt with. But such is life. On last Tuesday night. May 4th, in Auburn, nine miles from Raleigh, the dwelling house of Mr. Dury Jones was completely destroyed by fire. About 10:30 Mr. Jones was awakened by the roaring of the flames, and to his sur prise the northern end of the adjoining room to the main building was almost enveloped by the fUmes, and almost Joefore he could awake his family and family and get them out, the whole building was on fire. Nothing was saved except two trunks. The origin of the fire is unknown. Mr. Jones bad, by hard work, bought and paid for this house and lot. We sympathize very much with him and hope the friends will help him in his great loss, t; The Sunday-school' Missionary at Fay etteville. He arrived Saturday afternoon, and was soon domiciled with the pastor on Cool Spring street. At 11 o'clock, on Sunday morning, to an intelligent and appreciative audience, he preached a logi cal, forceful and edifying sermon. At 3 o'clock, in the afternoon of the same day, he addressed the Sunday school in an able, telling manner to the delight of all present. Again at 8 o'clock, in the even ing, he. preached a powerful and philo sophical sermon to an assemblage not wanting in interest at the preacher's evident familiarity with Biblical truths, and the very striking manner with which he presented them. Monday and Tues day afternoons he delivered, well chosen, apt and eloquent addresses to fair aud iences, wbicn can be but like bread cast upon the waters. Tuesday morning be visited the State Normal school, located here, and delivered a most practical and effective address to the faculty and stu dents, who fully enjoyed and heartily appreciated the earnest and eloquent ef fort. He addressed a large audience again on Tuesday evening at the Baptist church. I shall not attempt to give a synopsis even of either of the three sermons or four addresses, which our able, zealous and faithful missionary delivered during his four days sojourn in our queenly Cape Fear city, but it will suffice to say that Rev. Joseph Perry's visit to this city, has been heloful to the church, an impetus to the Sunday-school work and stimulating to the cause of education generally. Fajettevillians will ever welcome him in their, midst. r Respectfully, E. E. Smith. April 7, 1897. Notes of the A. & M. College. Greensboro, N. C. The college has been favored this ses sion by sermons from leading divines of the city. Last Sunday at 3 o'clock p. m. Dr. Johnson, of the white Baptist Church, delivered a very practical and spiritual sermon. The Board of Trustees of the A. and M. Coilesre will meet May 12th. The commencement exercises of the college will take place May 23 to 27 in clusive. Bishop J. W. Hood, LL. D., will preach the Baccalaureate Sermon. Rev. E. J. Gregg, pastor of St. Steph en's A. M. E. Church, of Wilmington, will deliver the annual address. We hope to have as many friends from Wake as can attend. President Dudley went on a flying trip to Raleigh last we ek in the interest of the institution. The faculty and students were very much pleated to have Mr. J. D. Pair, travelling agent of the Gazette, stop over with us last week. "We shall al ways extend the representative of the Gazette a cordial welcome. Mr. Pair was present at our 'Wise Literary Society" Friday night andgave a very timely and interesting talk. " Go on, Wake. The mechanical department of the col lege is now able to furnish base ball bats and croquet sets very reasonable. Parents are invited to come and . see what we are doing. Very respectfully, Austin W. Curtis. Picnic. The Busy Bee Missionary Society of the Baptist Cburch of Clayton, of which Mrs. Q. C. Mial is president, gave their first picnic here on the firet day of May, upon the public school-house lawn. At 10 a. m. the children commenced gather ing; at 1:30 p. m. the good things were spread by Mrs. L. A. Mial, Miss Malinda Sanders, Miss Ardelia Ferrell and Miss Mary M. Partridge. The little folks with some of their mothers came, sat down and feasted to their fill. After dinner we went to the church, where the chil dren entertained us with their fine sing ing, answering questions which were asked them from the Catechism. Mr. Q. C. Mial, who had been with them in all of their exercises, was called upon to speak. He responded to the call by mak ing a fifteen minutes talk. He com menced his speech by saying, " Mrs. Pres ident, and members of the 'Busy Bee Club: Children, love mama, papa, sister and buddie, and do the thing which is right.";He concluded by exhorting them to be like the child, Jesus, who was born in Bethlehem, Judea. It was a day of pleasure for those who were present. ' A Visitor. Baccalaureate Sermon. Last Sunday forenoon, at the First Bap tist Church, Rev. J. J. Worlds preached the baccalaureate sermon for the students of Shaw. He took his text from Prov. 23:26, and proceeded eloquently to warn and advise the students and graduates in a manner that would have done credit to any divine in our city. The church was crowded, every seat being taken ex cept those reserved for the faculty and students, in five or ten minutes after the closing of the Sunday-school. In due time the students, headed by President Meserve, the other members of the fac ulty and the graduating class, wearing the University's colors, arrived and were escorted to their seats by the Hon. Jas. H. Young. The choir, under the leader dership of Mr. G. A. Mial, furnished music of a high order, Misa Mamie M. Card well presiding at the organ. After the sermon President Meserve, in a few appropriate words, thanked the church for the service held for the bene fit of Shaw's students. After having been dismissed, the congregation re mained seated until the students passed out in the same order in which they en tered. The Last Meeting of the Daniel Webster Literary Society of Shaw University. Last Friday, 7:30 o'clock, May 7, '97, the above named society held its last meeting. All were present. After the meeting had been opened, the secretary called the roll. Each member respond ed to his name with a choice piece of poetry. The secretary then read the proceedings of the last meeting.
