Every family In' this besu- tlful town has vied" with its neighbor to treat the visitor! with the greatest consideration. In all the rain and mud. the - guests of the Henderson people have been sheltered snd protected- most graciously and nobody has seen anything like It. The Bell Telephone Company's wires, operated by. the Home Telephone and Tele graph Company, have been tendered tree to the convention between the hours of t snd I p. m.

The convention opened this morn ing at :10 o'clock with morning prayer read by Rev. Mr. E. A. Os borne. At 10 o'clock ths convention went Into business session. There is a story of a young reporter sent out to cover a debate upon the settlement of nstlonsl questions by arbitration and ths Inauguration of universal bum. Ha came back wltHout a line and, when asked by the editor where his story jraarcpUed;, "I heven't .any. They didn't have any debate. I went over there tninKing tney were go ing to discuss peace and they had i devil of a fight." That cub lost his Job. of course, .Well. I came down hers exoectlna to hesr the finest In tellectual scrap on thst colored clergy question that overtook place In the State. It meant tne nnai seiuemeni of the mstter. Yesterday was the warmest debate ever heard on It, but the colored men took no part, as they did last year, Sprulll and Bux ton leading It Hon. John B. Hender son mads a very fine speech on the matter ' and Rev. W. L. London op posed him in a very sensible speech. There were a few other "who also" spoke. And there were still others who meant "also" to' speak to-day. Thev slept on their thoughts. But ths matter was quickly settled by Rev. Dr. Murdock, who introduced tne resolution. Msjor H. A. London yes terdsy had ths floor for this morn ing, but wss gracious snd, anticipat ing Dr. Murdoch's resolution, surren dered It He withdrew It, but there in lies ths whols story.. Ths colored people Indicated 'to Bishop Cheshire their deslrs to bring up ths matter at their nexP convention. They ask ed that the convention postpone fur ther consideration or the . matter, therefore, and Dr. Murdock moved that ths. question be deferred- until next convention. And all who were cocked snd primed for debate are now In .position to My tnat tns speecnes made yesterday were nothing com pared with thOM that .were not de livered to-day. ' ' ; WILL NEVER BE VOTED OUT. The matter. In a word, is this the colored clergy ' will never be voted out of the North Carolina Diocese. They have notloed the growing dis satisfaction or tns Diocese and, at the next meeting, they will ask ths division ' themselves. There to yet a strong sentiment In the Diocese against . ths separation. There see a few clergymen In ths Diocese to whom ths argument , of " the Southerner against racial differences and preju dice In no wiss sppests and theft talk on the floor and privately yesterday was much too broad for North Caro lina" yet And then it was very evi dent that Mr. Sprulll remembers many of hla pretty periods In his campaign speeches of 1100, His address was nnfortunats snd intemperate, . but wonderfully eloquent ; , ... , - T" MEETS NEXT TEAR IN TARBORO.

It seems well understood that, with the action taken to-day by The Newi and Observer'a- attorney, -Mr. Gray, acting for the - petitioners in the Southern Railway schedule esse be fore the corporation commission, ths whole matter now goes off. It does not really require the leave of the commission to withdraw the petitions. The whole matter appears to have ended. There, ars some expressions of regret that It was not fought to a finish before the commission, ss some persons think It will lead to entangle ments aa regards the Legislature, which, It Is openly snnounced, will havs ths matter turned over to it of enlarging the power ot the corpora tion commission. The latter, aa is well known, has no power to issue a writ and can only Impose a penalty to enforce Its orders. Attorney Gray, in his letter to the commission. Mid: "Judgs Purnell's order prevents the commission from enforcing a penalty and the commission itself has, by Its non-action, decided that it has no power to punish the Southern Rail way for this act of supreme contempt Under these circumstances, with a commission powerless to enforce Its order upon the one slds snd an all powerful United States Court upon the other, your petitioners see no good in further pressing the matters now before this commission. They are men of limited means. They are Interested In the matter only as other persons making the connection at Raleigh are Interested and they must therefore, wait for other times and other days when a Legislature will convene In North Carolina and will pass such a corporation commission act as will ensble the commissioners serving under the same to enforce its orders." The committee on publication ot The North Carolina Journal of Edu cation reported favorably at Its last meeting on the matter and now re ports two propositions, which sre submitted.
