"The Florida Press Association, assem

had their attention drawn to numerous
published exaggerations and misrepre
sentations of the extent of , the damage
done in Florida by the recent unprece
dented cold weather, and knowing that
thousands of persons are looking for
ward to settlement in this State, are
disturbed by these unfounded state
ments and deem it proper to make a
true ao2 'candid statement of facts as
they exist-, without coloring and without
partiality. It ia. therefore
Resolved, That we, the members of
the Florida 'Press Association, coining
from all parts of the Stato, and there
fore fully cognizant of the real con
dition of the orange groves, as
now shown at the end of thirty days from
th" time of the freeze, state the following
as the true facls in reference thereto: 1st.
That 'in consequence of the exceeding
low temperature the larger part of tlio
fruit remaining on the trues was frozen.
2d. That the bearing trees and the'trees
which were in a healthy condition re
ceived no injury, although losing their
leaves, and are already budding, with
the promise of a fair crop for the pres
ent year. 3d. Taut while t ic tre s in
the more northerly countios are not as
advanced in budding out,, it is believed
that in no portion of the brange-.grow-ing
region of Florida have the trees re
ceived any material - damage. 4th.
I hat it haa been demonstrated that
orange trees can sustain a much lower
degree of cold than has been neretofore

TUm Plttraan Mwrder Trial,
Wilson Advance.;
The event of this week has been the
trial of Herbert Pittman for shooting
and killing his brother, William Pitt
man, which crime was committed Janu
ary 19th. Many persons were examined.
Thomas Tomlinson was tbe.only witness
of the killing and his testimony was the
moBt important. He said that he (Tom
linson) and Herbert Pittman were stand
ing in the yard of Herbert Pittman when
William Pittman came in and asked
Herbert "where in the he was
going. ' ' i Herbert had put . the harness
on the horse, and; replied that he was
going to seek a home. William had a
knife in bis hand 'when he came up and
attempted to cut lhe harness. Herbert
told him not to do so. This angered
William; who at once cut at his brother.
The latter ran from him, until be was
hemmed; in between a crib and a cart.
Herbert s vest was cut on the side and
the buttons cut oiF all except the top
one. Herbert shot twice at William.
The second shiot was fired while Wil
liam held him by the hair. This thot
entered his bowels. Herbert made every
effort to escpe from his brother before
he fired. Tomlinson swore , that Wil
liam eut at Herbert; three times before
the fatal shot was fired. The jury re
mained out an hour and then returned a
verdict of not guilty.

A goodly number of persons met for
prayer at the First Baptist church at
12 30 yesterday. : Many written and
verbal requests for prayer were made.
At 4fp. m a good audience was present,
despite the rain. Mr. Needham read
the account of the healing of the par
alytic, as contained in the second chap
ter of Mark, using as illustrating points
for the success of the undertaking, 1.
Sympathy; 2. Fnion; 3. Perseverance;
4. Faith. At the conclusion of Mr.
Needham's talk a number of persons
requested prayer.; Mr. Avis met the
young men in the lecture room at 7 p.
m. Several of the unconverted presented
themselves for prayer and one professed
fnth. At 7.30 Rev. Mr. Tray wick, of tbe
Methodist church, offered prayer. Mr.
Needham announced that there would
be prayer at .' 12 30 today, but no
regular service at 4 and 7.30 p. m., and
that Mr. vis and; other friends would
meet the young men at 7.30 p. m. in
the lecture-room j Mr Needham an
nounced as the subjeot of his discourse
'What must I do to be saved?" An
old question, coming from the lips of the
young and old. The leading infidel of
American ridicules it, but the troubled
heart still cries out "Wrhat
must I do to be be saved?"
Vb n a man realizes his danger this ii
'the first and most important of all ques-
To the man that is very sick ; to the
drowning man ; to the .one surrounded
with danger. So with the sinner who
sees himself as he is. This question is
the language of conviction, of fear and-
of desire. . Philosophy will not' save, or
skepticism, or rank or title, money or
friends only trust in the Lord, All
may be saved. None are so vile or far
gone but that if they will only believe
they may be Bayed. Mr. Avis! sang
4 Yet there is room." The congregation
then sung "Take me as I am, j and dur
the Binging a number ot persons re
quested .prayer for their salvation by
rising. In the after-meeting i number

On the farm of Mr.. B. V. Butts, near
Haliiai, two colored children, aged two
and four years, were burned to deah in
the house. The Weldou News says' their
father. Jake Allen, had left the house
was some distance off at work. The
mother had also: left on some errand and
the children) were alone. Jake saw
flames and smoke issuing from the house
and ran to it, but before the chil
dred 3ould be rescued the house a cab
in was consumed and ' the children
with it.
Sunday morning it was whispered in
Wadesboro that the night previous the
house of Martha Cash was surrounded,
about the hour of 12, by a body of
masked men who gave the inmates until,
Tuesday night to leave the county or
prepare for a visit from a committee of
the Regulators, accompanied by forty
two Red Shirts; from South Carolina..
The Wadesboro Intelligencer says the
news created a great sensation. Some
the South Carolinians went to Wades
boro, but were chased away The peo
ple of Wadesboro guarded the town and
jrevnted any trouble.
There are many conjectures among
the people of Cleveland and Rutherford
counties in regard to the two railroads,
but no tlnng has yet been developed.
Some think, the Massachusetts & South
ern Construction company will buy out
the line from Shelby to Piney Ridge and
then the Caroliua: Central railway will
go from Shelby to Cranberry and Ten
nessee; others affirm that the Carolina
Central will never: sell out, but will use
the Piney Ridge extension as a feeder
The Carolina Central railway are pru
dent enough to not show their hand or
disclose their future movements. The
Shelby Aurora says that in two months
both'of the rival : lines must and will
show their hands 1 Until that time they
must wait' tor future developments
Both roads are busy at work, grading,
trestle-building and getting .cross-ties
for the two parallel lines to Rutherford.
