The republicans held their oonven

two or three bosses, Capt Goslin, of the
Repubjican, being the manager. Mr.
Edar Lineback was nominated for it

Winston b having a bis season of re

at the Methodist church, and - at the
Broad street Baptist, and even the, quiet
old Moravians have had a revival at
one of their Salem churches. Great
interest has been manifested at all
the churches, and there has been a large
number of oonverts. Mrs. Moore, the
lady evangelist, was one of the features
at the Methodist church last night.
The town authorities of Winston-
Salem have an eye to the health of the
Twin-(Jity, and are now considering a
report that has been recently made by
Prof. Ludlow, an intellient civil engi

There is no doubt that his plan will be

the children of the school, who in two

Charlistoh, 8. 0., Sept. 27. A
slight earthquake shook was felt here at
two minutes past 6 o'clock this after
noon, accompanied by a loud, rumbling
sound. The' wave moved from north
to south. The shock lasted about two
seconds. Houses were shaken peroepti
bly and a number of persons rushed into
the streets. No damage was done, be
yond the falling of loose plastering. The
saine shock wa felt at. Savannah, Ga. ;
Summerville, Orangeburjr,, Camden,
Graniteville, Hopkins, Kwgville and

The work of the relief committee is
progressing favorably. Over 1,100 ap
plications for assistance to repair houses
nave been filed with the relief com
mittee, four hundred of which are from
widows and unmarried women. About
five hundred : rations were issued
to needy families today. Business men
speak hopefully of the future. A prom
inent contractor, who has been adver
tising in the morning papers for brick
layers and plasterers, stated today that
in his opinion 600 to 1,000 workmen of
that class would find employment dur
ing thejwinter and spring. The supply
at present is not one-half equal to the
demand.
Dr. J. B. Hubbell, general field offi
oer, and Miss Clara Barton, president of
the "National Bed Cross Society", ar
rived in Charleston today. They come
to inf peot the situation and see whether
it is necessary to eulist farther aid
from the various Red Cross societies of
the United States. They bring a mes
sage to mayor Courtenay from
mayor Carter Harrison, of Chicago,
saying that the contribution reoeived
from the Chicago Bed Cross society is
not the only subscription that will be
maio by Chicago:, but that the citizens
of that place are organizing a movement
by which the best results will be ob
tained and that Chicago will yet be
heard from.

Dublin, Sept 27. The Freeman's
Journal says that Mr. Parnell's cable
gram to president Fitzgerald, of the
Irish national league in America, is vir
tually an appeal to the Irish at home
and abroad. "Jfrom the British gov
ernment' adds the paper, "nothing can
be expected by the Irish people, who
may, however, have everything by their
own endurance, backed by the help of
their exiled countrymen. There must
be no disorder, though; no wild insanity;
no-acts estranging tne world s sympa

they are fair-minded let them be met by
fair dealing."

chief justioo Beasley. The cape is one
of unusual interest The murdered girl
is supposed to have been killed in or
near the furnace-room of the institute,
the night of April 8, 1886. She at
tended a th' atrioal performance: There 1
she met three other girls, and through
them she became acquaiotod with' two
drummers, one of whom saw the girl
home, going aa far as the gate loading to !
the front door' of the institute.
That was the last seen of her
alive, exoent bv the person or nersons
who murdered hem Next morning her
body was discovered over 100 yards
away from the institute buildings. A
pair of new gloves and her pocket-
book were missing. Two wounds
on each sido of her bead showed
where she had been struck with
some blunt instrument and marki of
fingers on her throat pro red that she
had been strangled to death. Pbysi-
ciaus who made post-mortem examina
tion were positive that the girl had
been criminally -assaulted before she
was killed. Titus was arrested. He was
committed to the county jail here and a
week later the grand jury formally in
dicted him. Titus pleaded not guilty
to the indictment, Dut reserved the
right to withdraw his plea at anytime.

about a fourth or. a third of the ' crop

and small, but has a very good color.
There is a great deal of good tobacco in
this section. I am told by several far
mers that their .crops are better than
they have been for several years. . This
is owing to the favorable situation of

The revival at the Methodist church

The colored people have "revived ' to

Correspondence of Tan News and OBAnviK
It is rather to arouse the elements, of
our people that are passive than to at
tack any actually hostile to immigra
tion that I write. The cLcment openly
opposed to immigration and even those
who damn it with faint praise are not
noted foT : activity in anything. They
have now ! their spurs on a policy of
masterly inactivity in everything, which
I believe they call conservatism. I
refer to them merely by way of illustra
tion and warning. I do not seek to oon
vert them or abuse them. They are
eminently respectable, but dead If they
keep up with the chariot of progress it
is because they are dragged captive at
its wheels : While I rejoioo at what has
been done l am not one to. join in the
too common cant that all is well. It is
not true; or; nearly so, and if it were,
we have heard it so often that it would
be refreshing to hear the other side
some.: The old prophets used to tell
truth ofttimes . in the form of a com
plaintnotably Jeremiah, in the form
of lamentations.
If it be true that there is very little
active element in the State opposed to
immigration, it is also true that, from
some cause or other, we have very little
immigration. It is pretty generally
admitted that immigration of the right
sort is a good thing for the State;
that there are plenty of suoh immi
grants going elsewhere; that wc
have great' natural advantages, that
Our great resources are still in a great
measure undeveloped; and yet we must
at the same time confess that the immi
grants do not come. So an inquiry into
the causes becomes pertinent and pro
per. Of course so long as slavery was
an institution to be protected wo
thought best to discourage and even
excluie such as did not agree with us
on that vital question. As Maj Bing
ham expressed it, "We had a powder
house and we could not allow anybody
to pop matches about it." And if we
insisted on keeping the powder-house,
we were right. Self-preservation is the
first law of nature. Men will do wrong,
but they will also live if they era.
Having learned the habit of excluding
men who disagreed with us on one vital
question, it was perhaps easy for u i to
discourage men who are not like us in
other respects. The habit ones form
ed when it was excusable, if

touched with the spirit of this infirmity
myself, and what i say may be taken as
true because it is in the nature of a con
fession. Again, the negro questiow is -still
a live issue' among us. . To some extent
it is still a pQwdcr-house. Ths man
who is not orthodox in his views on this
is still regarded as more or le?s danger
ous. Ine people are still a little sensi
tive about the character of oertain im
migration they received in reconstruc
tion times. ' Need anybody wonder then
that there is but in a little portion of the
State any active sentiment whatever in
favor of immigration t ' Is it such a
great wonder that the mass of the peo
ple are passive or totally indifferent on
the subject? Seeing the progress
of Other States, the benefits con
ferred, the development brought
about bv Immigration, it is a won
der.7 however, that the press of
the State has had so little to Bay in
favor of it. The leaders of thought,
with the exception of Gov. Jarvis and
a few 'others, have been for the most
Dart silent: and vet this was the -main
feature in the progresive polioy of Got
Jarvis, whioh waalworth twenty thou

Another and still greater difficulty
in the wav of immigration is sectionalism
at the North. The agents too, of the
great Northwestern corporations either
utterly ignore or systematically slander

and they have got sense enough to
