The "Wooden Wedding" reception tendered by Bev, and Mrs. C. L. Hoffmann Monday evening, which, owing to the weather, was held in the spacious dining hall of the Ar lington, instead of on the lawn of Col. J. A. Washington's home, as at fii st intended, was indeed a most brilliant and enjoyable occasion delightfully informal and largely attended by their numerous friends in th is city. And the high appre ciation in which these good people are held in this community was ma le flatteringly manifest to them by the splendid galaxy of "wooden" pres ents, superb, beautiful and useful that graced the occasion, from the magnificent side-board, the gift of the "Goldsboro Rifles," to the Cu rious "Columbian Clock" that clicked the pleasant hours away. A very pleaaing feature of the evening was the visit of the Goldsboro Rifles in lull dipss uni form, Mr. Hoffmrnn being their revered chaplain. Besides their beautiful present above mentioned, thebovs" marched into the hall with a wash-tup as a bas3 drum and water bucket for a snare drum and each member wearing a clothes piu on the lapel of hiscoat,which they afterwards deposited in the afore 6aid "drums" placed before their chaplain, with whom and his wife each member shook hands as the company filed by.

A Stevens gives facts and Cites - ' Authorities that cannot verted. The demand for Mr. Stevens' card has been so great that we find it ntc- essary to republish it in this issue. Ed. Editor Argus; On April 26th, 1893 I sent to you for publication an article containing my views upon the resolutions recently adopted by the Wayne County Alliance, and al so some comments cpou the action of the legislature in amending the charter of the Alliance. Since that time I have been round ly abused by the (Jaucasian and Pro. Farmer, but the principal re ply to me has been abuse. The statement in my communication that raises the biggest howl ia this: "A great many of tt e lecturers of North Carolina last year wer3 third party candidates. And still they were paid out of the Alliance fund $4,364.18. And if I am not very much mistaken Mr. Graham was called upon for $1,200 to-help pay that and other expenses of the State meeting." This waa the charge made, aod the reply is a card signed by Messrs. Alexander, Johnson, Mew borne, Butler "and others, saying J that, "no sum was appropriated or used last year iu thf interest of the People's party, and. that no sum was paid for lecturing after May meet ing of ex.com.or for other thau legi timate expenses of the Alliance." I now reiterate what I did saj: 'Thei Alliance lecturers in JN. C. last year were paid $4,364.18, and a great many of them were Third party can didates." This I assert asjjthe truth, and no man can deny it. Of the 8 names to the com. card, o of them were candidates, 4 Third party, one Democrat. ISow let s see who has ied: They say, "By order of the ex. com., at the May meeting last year all the Alliance lecturers were with drawn from the field, this being several weeks prior to the first start to organize a new party. Let s see about that. In Alarch last year, Mr, J. W. Mewbcrne, Diet, lecturer, Dr. J. E. Person, Co. lectuier.accom- panied by Mr. A. L. Swinson, then Co. secretary, canvassed uayne Co. Messrs. Mew borne and Person would open the ball for the Alliance, Mr. Swinson would close tue scene with a long speech in favor of a new party, and would say all manner of evil against the Democratic organU zation. Well do I remember their meeting with Falling Crepk Alli ance: Messrs. Mew borne ana Person made very short speeches, followed by Mr. Swinson. My worst politi cal enemy now (the strongest friend then) said tj me, after Mr, bwmson closed his remarks,if he was allowed to make such political speeches as that in the Alliance he would ruin the order. Right here I would call Mr. Mew- borne's attention to the fact, that he closed his canvass in Wayne that he might be jn Kiuston at the organi zation of the People's party for Le noir Co., which was either the last Saturday in March or the first Sat- nrday in April. A few days after holding forth at Falling Creek Mr. Swinson organized the People's part at Providence and issued a call for a county mass meeting to be held in Goldsboro April 16tb, for the purpose of completing the Co. organization. Mr. Butler, fctate President, fear ing air. bwmson would get anead ot him, intercepted Mr. b win son, and held an Alliance meeting in the court house that day. After deliv ering his Alliance address ha gave us reason why we should stick to the Democratic party, and called on all who would attend the coming Demo cratic conyentious and sjpport their nomi: ees to stand up, and nearly every one in the crowded court room stood up. Mr, Swinson and 5 or 6 of his followere,who were nest in their convictions, did not rise. We all remember the Swinson circular denouncing Mr. Butler. In a verv short time Mr. Swinson did organize the People's party for the county. Thus we see the new party organized in Wayne and Lenoir in April. It is to be presumed the balaLce of the State was operated upon in the same way. At least, the Butler conference revealed the fact that such was the case. . The statement in the Pro. Farmer that I was active in securing the re- pea- ot the Alliance cnartcr ana yot eu iorit3 repeal is raise, xnere was a difference of opinion as to what ought to be done, and upon the pas sage of the bill I did not vote. In my former communication I say,first that many of the Alliance lecturer, last year were Third party candidates Thi3 cannot be denied, and if denied can be easily proeD. I say next, the lecturers were paid $4,364.18 out of Alliance funds, We turn to proceedings of State Alliance at Greensboro August 9th, 10th and 11th 1892,on page 9, and find, among the disbursements of the treasurer, the item "For lecturing $4,364.18. I say further, that Mr. Graham, trustee of the B, A. Fund, has been called upon for $1,200 to defray ex penses of lecturing and other expen ses: .We turn again to proceedings of '1892, and on page 30, we find that ;the following resolution was adop4 tec: , . "Resolved,1 That the Executive Committee of this State Alliance be authorized and directed to borrow for the use of this Alliance $1,220 from the Trustee ot the Business Agency Fund, and to repay the same from the receipts ot the omce of Sec retary Treasurer and State Business Ageut, above necessary expenses; and the trustee is authorized to withdraw interest due on said funds to secrep tary treasurer's office until same is. paid. '. ' - Again, 1 stated that, at . the last State meeting President Butler ruled that a reduction ' recommend ed by the committee in tne com pensation allowed delegates applied to the delegate attending tae meet. ting of '92 while $375 borrowed by 1 Mr. Butler was given him without objection. Turning again to pro ceedings, page 30, 1 hnd the follow ing: "By request, the President made a ruling as to the amendment as per mileage of delegates and other mem bers which was as follows: That the change in the constitution as to actual transportation exp?nses should apply to this meeting, and on page 3o, I hnd the following, "Brother J. M. Mewborne made a statemeut in regard to a loan male to Presi dent Butler by order of the Execu tive committee through W, H. Worth for $455. On motion the amount of $455 was remitted to Bro Butler, and the note held against him by W. H. Worth or dered io be cancelled' . It will be seen on page 9, that in addition to making President But ler a present of $455,as above stated, he was paid his full salary. $300,aud was allowed $512.15 for expenses. The items making the total of ex penses are not given. It has been said that the amendments to the chatter originated in the evil minds of the legislators, that there were no reasons to be urged in their favor, that there was simply a desire to injure the Alliance, and the amendment most complained of is that allowing the funds contribut ed by a member to be withdrawn. Those who say this do not know the facts, or knowing them they will not give them to the people. They are Aluancemen only in so far as the name is svnonimous with .Third party men, and no further. 1 say that the records of the Al liance show a necessity for some change, in that they show extrava gacce in expenses of lecturers, and that many people desired to with draw their funds and could not do so. On page 8 of proceedings of '92 I find a report of the Executive corns mittee signed by Messrs. Alexander & Mewborne, from which I take this extract: "Your committee would recom mend the change of the lecture system. It is more expensive than any we have heretofore had, and the good work accomplished is not in proportion to its cost." This shows that a change iu the system is de sirable, that the expense has in creased, and that results are not in proportion to cost. In plain Ian gnage, we would call this extrava gance. On page 13, I find the trustee s report, from which I make this extract: "There are frequent applications to the trustee for re turn of money contributed to the und, several hundred having been received this jear. There is no pro vision for return of contributions, except on dissolution of State Alli ance. The Trustee's bond would be responsible for any mouey to re turned. There are also suggestions sometimes to have it used as a cash fund in the hands of a State Busi ness agent.. Under the conditions which it was contributed this is im possible &c. If any change is de sired, I suggest that Ex. Com. be in structed to obtain authority by law for the action ." The Pro. Farmer has said that only 13 have applied since the ad- ournment of the legislature to have the amounts contributed by them refunded. Is it not strange that the "several hundred" who according to the Trustee s report desired their money before they could git it, do not call for it now? The truth is they are calling for it, and are not ettmg it, and the great reason of the cry raised, and of the threat to publish the uames of those who ask for their money is that it is not on hand to pay with. If the Pro. Farmer and the Caucasian doubt this, and will promise to print the etters, I will furnish several from the Trustee, written since the ad journment of the legislature, saying, in suostance, tnat ne nssn c tne money on hand to pay with, that he will make some collections, and may be able to pay in June or July, I do not intend to say that the Trustee has squandered any part of the fund, and 1 know of no reason for making the charge. I presume that he has held the fund and paid it out as directed. The report of the Trustee also shows that under the constitution and charter of the Alliance there was no power to authorize the with'. drawal of the money contributed, and that this power could only be granted by the law-making power the legislature. "Several hundred were asking for the money contris buted by them to be refunded, there was no power under the charter ana co.'istitutionto refund this money,and under these circumstances the legis luture, following tho suggestion of the trustee.comes' in and amends the charter so that money cpntribnted , i 1 ? i 1 1 X 11 mignt oe witnarawn. is mis a great crime? Many of the men who wished to withdraw their money paid it in be lieving thatit was being contributed to a non-political organization for good ends. They now believed it was being used against their interest, for political purposes. I think they were entitled to their money, ana it is strange to me tnat mere snouia i i i j i 'i ij be a difference of opinion upon this You and I are partners; I believe vou ace squandering the money for bad purposes. If there is no way for me to get my money, ought not one to be' made? In addition to this, Capt. Powell, Chairman of the legis lative committee of the Alliance, told several members of the legisla ture that the change ought to be made. I have written more than intended and would write more,but wish my article to be read, as it is in reply to personal attacks upon me. The Pro. Farmer ot May 16th after publishing the card of Messrs. Alexander, Mewborne ana otners says, "All the papers that have pub lished Stevens' letter, the Observer included, are expected to publish the above denial, or else they will be open to the charge of treating the Alliance and individuals unfairly". By the same rnleI call upon that paper and the Caucasian to nublish this communication in full. I do not reply to any of their personal nings.because it is below the plane,of legitimate discussion, and because they emanate from the editors of the Caucasian and theJPro.

In this convention great interest and en thusiasm was shown, and we feel safe in saying that all present were benefitted by it, and that the great cause of Sunday school work was promoted. Every township reported, and most of the schools in these town ships reported very good work being done not as good as could be but such progress is being made that we should feel encouraged. The subjects discussed duriDg the Convention were, "Should all des nominations work together to ad vance the Sunday School cause in the State?" "How to kill a Sunday School," and "Teachers and Teach ing." Eevs. McMillan, Bone, Shaw and Peele made interesting as well instructive talks on these subjects Rev. Cr. W.

Courting in Baltimore, Baltimore has astonished her friend by issuing an unexpected order that love making, of the overt sort, must stop in the public 6quareaand parks. The proximate cause for the order appears to have been the be havior of a young couple who were observed kissing each other; they were arrested, poor young things, and the man waa fined 20, and the girl $5. The proportion may have been some solace to her, and in deed it does exhibit a rather tardy justice to Mother Eve, but the fine and the subsequent prohibition must have caused an enteuse glow of indigntion in the breasts of fair Baltimoreane, who have been en couraged to view courtship rather as an estate honorable to the good oots for which they are known. To think of Baltimore reviving the blue laws and declaring public endearments a breath of the peace! Mason and Dixon never drew that ' ine. We have all heard ot the a greeable Southern gentleman who was ''a mighty trifiin fellow he beat his wife! ' but the reproach involved in the epithet has never bf ore in Dixie a land been visited upon the young man who kissed his Bwsetheart, even coram ojulo in point of tact, there are a great many people, and they are not confined to the Southern States, either, who consider that courtship when limited to glances, sighs and stammers is an unsatisfactory affair altogether as tor them, give them harmless liberties or give them death. And in the matter of con fining the dulcet relation to the tront parlor or the sitting room, why that i a question of the weather, not of the city ordinances. Jo, no, Baltimore will have to retrict her hasty action. The pre cedent of the virtuous indignateen of Mr. Bumble when he caught Noah Claypoole kissing. .Charlotte is an unsound one, even though Mr. Bumble's position was paro chial, Mr. Bumble turned out to be a sad hypocrite. And there is one law about kissing which is pretty nigh as inevitable as the centric petal force, and the Baltimore au-. thiritiea may be certain it will be observed without their troubling themselves. Kissing goes by favor. It is a corollary from this that the honestest kind of kissing is that whichdoesn't run and Ihide.
