' After the Wilmington decision it was seen that' if they hung on with a suit and it. went against them tne Would probably have to refund all the sal ary paid uip to date. So they step down and the fusionists go in. Yet another bit of news is ' about the penitentiary. It is that an official has in stalled in a-house r in this city a female convict who has served a short term and who was recently discharged. It is said further that the official is a married man. 'NotJongJ-ago.-!. whi.e- man . who ;was once a corporal" of - the. guard at the peni tentiary' arrived " there as a convict.

"Free thought," said the speaker." "does not mean anarchy, vice, lawlessness or crime.. It means the .nower of oerfect freedom to exercise the greatest of all our laculties the mind. Some atf- the lead ing free thinkers have presented to : the world the most, blameless and - turiest lives. . . ? . "The Bible, that is the New . Testament (for the) Old! Testament was com piled by the Jews) is simply a compila tion by the Roman Catholic church made by ' the counselors, who selected or re jected the text at will. The scriptures, therefore, are mere flagrante. "The philosophy (of spiritualism re jects the allegorical story of the Bile, the wnole system of total depravity, the his tory of the Creator, etc The philosophy oif spiritualism is a rational theory, it sees death everywhere. It knows that all organic things music die, not because they have offended God, but because they have physical forces , which return again just as the spirit returns. "Death, there is no death. The thing we call death is- an eternal change. . The so called death of the human body is but the birth of a human soul. into a higher realm. ,- , "This philosophy is not only occult, and not only doctrinal. It has a moral der partment for the flevelopment of the hu man mind. "The spiritualist of today is one who is taking hold of the people. The church and state are tooth neglecting their duty in the uplifting; of humanity." A BELL RINGING MYSTERY. A sound on the electric light tower a- hout eight o'clock .last night summoned Police 'Calptain iLee to the sojuare where he was informed that there was something mysteriously wrong about the East Ashe ville Liteary society building. On arriv ing at the 'place he discovered that the bell on top the house had been ringing for over half an hour and that a congregation had met to learn the nature of ithe services to ' be held, as the house had not been opened 'for- months. Not a light was seen or a sound to be heard oh. the inside, yet curfew continued . to ring. Captain Lee with his characteristic ibravery, set. about to "solve the mystery. At last he dis covered a wire ruanifig at an acute angle from the bell to the ground, .terminating at a point two hundred yards distant where some mischevious boys were having their fun. Calptain Lee returned to the chape! and dismissed the congregation without a ibenediction. PROF: ROSSELL'S LAST LECTURE.
