Special to the Mews and Observer. ' ' Lxxikqtoh, N. C , Sept. 15- Judge Fowle came into town today, escorted by the finest horseback and buggy procession ever seen here. The Bel publicans, with long preparation, had a spoiled crowd of may be more that half as many. The town was crowded so that the candidates had to speak from the court house steps in the rain to thousands of interested peo pie. Col. i Dockery made a ducking, d edging speech. He said that neither the Governor nor the Legislature had anything to do with the tariff or revet nue, yet he spoke only of national questions. Judge ' Fowle ar-i raigned him and his party in a most masterly and taking way, in a vote making speech. He not only an? s t red every argument of Col. Dock ery but held him up most successfully as a ridiculous poser for the farmers vjte. Judge Fowle drew that Alliance resolution on him again and Co?. Dockery said it surprised him bat he that Judge Fowle showed that should not be surprised the farmers were opposed to high tariff. Same fine flowers were presented to Judge Fowle by the la dies, and to offset it Geo. M. Bulls, Esq , brought forward some green corn and presented to the farmers' candidate, but Judge Fowle said if 1 George Bulla (an attorney) and Dock ery thought they could fool the peo ple of Davidson they were greener inan tne corn, (immense applause.) Col. Dockery in his rejoinder spoke with a drag, frowning and winking his eyes long and heavily as he pulled through his sentences. Judge Fowle met his "negro in the wood pile'' with overwhelming argument and closed ; with a most , elegant appeal for personal liberty and con stitutional rights that' chained the attention of all listeners. It was a gala -day for old Davidson, and we are sure j of "a complete, viotory here in November. At the close, crowds flocked about Judge Fowle to shake him by j the hand, while the whole mass cheered for more than fifteen minutes after his speech, for Fowle, the next Governor of North Carolina It is universally admitted that Judge Fowle scored a complete viotory.

C, Sept. 13. I have 'been an humble layman of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, for fifty years. I am as sincere a Temperance man and Prohibitionist as Dr. Robey, but in consideration of the high regard I entertain for the 11. E. Church, I claim the privilege of protesting against his effort to im press the public with the belief that our ministers and laymen are' pledged as a church to make a political issue of this question. I do not believe that one Methodist in twenty will vote for the "Third Party" at this particular crisis. Moreover, I regard Dr. Robey's movement one of the most puerile efforts of the nineteenth century. ; Very respctfullyyours, II.

N.- & 0-1 j PrUaeat AdrlM t Tsmr . A writer in Fibre and Fabric gives the following pertinent advice to young men, whether they be me chanics,mill hands or workers in other channels of industry: "In the first place shun the saloons, as in them you. will never find the least possible 'incentive towards education, fame or honor. : Keep from standing around street corners and cigar stores; let wooden images of Indians suffice for tobacco signs. Make up your mind that your Creator has crea'ed you for a higher purpose than to decorate the front of a cigar store. Learn to love solitude and study; procure some good books and periodical?; ch- ose jn!y these that will instruct you; learn to love the study of the sci uce; you will find them dry and uninterest ing at first, no doubt, bur yau ctn learn to like them and become eag-er 0 grasp everyttrntf new in that lin-, and at this s'.age they become inter esting j to you. Take one-or mure Sapers on your trade or calling; avoid ime novel literature; always peruse that which will ba of the moat benefit to you. If you are deficient in math ematics, acquire a knowledge of them, as it is indispensable to you,and accor ding to all learned men's testimony there is no study which renders so acute Or bo well developes the reason ing powers in man as the study of mathematics. So it is with mechanics and physics or natural philosophy; they render the reasoning powers more acute, enabling us to see the cause And effect much quicker." ' We are indebted to a friend, L li , who has sent us the Christian Advo cate (Nashville) of September 1, con taining an editorial on "Preachers as Reformers," which ; is jimely. We commend it to preachers generally. We make a few extracts : ; "Private opinions may be enter tained' and as occasion requires he (the preacher) may speak his senti ments without detriment, but the mo ment he lakes the stump or makes his pulpit the medium of partisan pol itics, that moment he is outside his proper sphere." ; "But right here ebme of our be th ren are making a fatal mistake. They suppose the church (the Methodist church) has committed itself n v only & the principle of prohibition, but to a method of prohibition. "This : the . church: has not done. She has not presumed to point out a way or mark a path for her members She has wisely left methods to the peo ple, many of whom are neither Meth odists nor professors of religion. The church could not consistently do such a thing. Any measure framed by tie Methodist church or any other church, however wise and wholesome, would bear a sectarian stamp, and that would insure its death." . ; "Yet there are those who think the church would enforce its principles through a party of its own selection and some have gone Bo far asto tlo- - "The action of the! Oeneral Confer ence of 1886 has been referred to as endorsing party prohibition. The action of that conference as recorded will show this to be a mistake. What was done will be found embodied in two resolutions recorded in the Jour nal, page 199. The resolutions are as follows: i Resolved, That the General Con ference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, is opposed to the manufacture, sale and use of intoxi cating liquor?, except for medicinal and mechanical purposes ; and that we will continue to ; agitate the sub ject of prohibition as a great moral question in all iis bearings on the life and work of the Church, and strive with all good citizens and by all proper and honorable means to ban ish the horrible evil from our beloved Church and country, Jiesolved, That the time has now come when the Church, through its press and pulpit its individual and organized agencies should speak out in strong language I and stronger ac tion in favor of total removal of the treat evil of intemperance from our land, i These resolutions indicate the po sition of the Church. They commit the Church as fully as the necessity of the case demands. To have gone further would have chanced the re cord and attitude of Southern Meth odism toward party; politics. It could not have adopted or cn dorsed, even, the Prohibition party without endorsing a political creed, for the Prohibition party, besides prohibition, has ten or a drizen other planks of a purely political or secu lar character, and to have adopted or endorsed it, would have been to com mit the Church to all the party teaches and proposes tariff reform, woman suffrage and all. To do such a thing to adopt any party would ruin any Church in the South. We are' not ready for suicide. We would be glad to know that every Methodist in the land was a prohibitionist, but we protest against putting the Church in an attitude of opposition to any party, or in favor of any political platform. As preach ers we may take the lead in reforms, but we should not seek to change the status or ruin the record of the Church." Miscellaneous Notes. I Messrs.

Special to the News and Observer. The Charlotte Chronicle of yester day says : Dr. Geo. W- Graham, who has been spending a few days at the Hot Springs, of this State, arrived home yesterday. He came through H-ndersonville, where the yellow fever refugees are quartered, and though he did not interview any of them, he picked up a few points from the local passengers. They state that since the arrival of the refugees at Hendtrsonville four cases of yelicw fever have developed, which, with four cases on the train, makes eight cates altogether in Hendersonville. The pecple of that place feel safe in the conviction that the fever cannot "spread" in their atmosphere, and no alarm at all is manifested by the citi zens, the refugees themeelves b.'iDg the only ones who feel uneasy. All the refugees before leaving Jacksonville signed u written agree ment that they would not leave the town of Hendersonville under any circumstances until after the expira tion of the usual ten days, but it is said that some of them are violating their contract, and scattering out in dif ferent directions. It ia claimed that a party of them made their way to Saluda, and there registered as com ing from Columbia and other places. An experienced physician is at tending the refugees in Henderson ville, and the sick are receiving bet ter treatment and are in better cir cumstances than if they were in Jacksonville. They are a3 comforta bly housed as possible under the cir cumstances. As many of them have doubtless carried the germs of the disease in their system, it is expected that new cases among the Hender sonville refugees will continue to be reported for some days. The refugees are isolated as com pletely as possible from the citizens, ami the patients are being cared for in a house that is isolated both from the citizens and refugees. Although the' people of Hendersonville profess to be perfectly at ease, it is evident that they are somewhat nervous. There ate nearly five hundred refu gees in the party, and when the train that brought them pulled into Hen ileisonville the large crown that had assembled at the depot, fled like a pack of frightened sheep. The refu gees, at any rate are now enjoying the hospitalities of the town ana they feel that they are welcome, since Hendersonville was the first town in the State that issued at) invitation to Washington, Sept. 15. The fol lowing telegram was received today by Miss Clara liar ton: "i nna tne relief organization here to be earnest. warm-hearted workers but tney need system in their work I have been requested to address myself to this and meet the committee tomorrow and the work will be a short one.

He Is Just the Klndof Protectionist the President Is Not In the Oil Trnst Secretary Whitney returned to Washington Thurjday and said said to an Associated Press reporter, with reference to his alleged intention to resign; "There is no foundation for the statement, nor for the reason last given in its support, namely, that I am a protectionist and was op posed to the President's message on that cround, and therefore will re sign after the elec ion. I am just the same kind of a protectionist tnat me President is, and we have not dinerea upon the subject. We have not always agreed upon questions of policy, but our diner ences of opinion are I or gotten when the occasion is past. He has always accorded to me a larger share of his confidence and much more consideration than I ever considered myself entitled to. No' man with ordi nary sense could be associated close ly with the President and not concede his right to con'rol the policy of his administration. I am hsppy to say hat no cloud has ever passed over the personal relations which existed between the President and myseil be ore we came here. But you can un derstand. I suppose, that this life leaves its mark upon a man. To admin ister a great public office properly may look easy, but it is not. You have to bear burdens and give your life to it the rewards are great, but the care and strife are great, too and doubtless you can appreciate that a man can consistently look forward to the day of his relief with pleasure, and at the same time cheerfully beat his share in the contest so long as he is deemed of use. That's all there is about it." Mr. Whitney added with reference connection with the stand&rd oil trust to the use of his name in the Senate in "I have never owned a dollar in it, nor ever bad any relation to it Every officer and director of the trust, I be lieve, is a Republican, and so are nine-tenths of its stockholders."

Mr. Blaine says the present gener-j auon must re taugnt the benefits of high protection. An excellent idea. The Herald seconds the motion. If a young man buys a suit of clothes for $23, the amount of protec tion he pays for is$9. The clothes without protection would cost $14. If he buys a $1 hat he gets 40 cents worth of hat and and 60 cents worth of protection. If a young couple just beginning housekeeping buy a yard of Brus sels carpet for $1 they receive 45 cents in carpet and 54 cents in pro tection, or say for a whole room, $12 worth of carpet and $18 worth of protection. With free wool eighteen dollars would be saved. If a young woman pays $9 for a shawl she gets $0 worth of Bhavl only; the other three she pre sents to the manufacturer to "pro tect" him. T If fihe buys a dress for $18 she gets $12 worth of dress and $G worth of protection. If, however, she wants a pair of shoes, which formorly cost $4 50 to $5 50, si. e has only to pay $2 50 or $3 50, according io quality, because some of the protection has been taken off hides, from which the leather ia (he shoe is made. If she pays 50 cents for an iron pot or pan she gets 30 cents in goods and 20 cents worth of protection. If the wants a sewing machine and pays say $20 for it, she gets $11 worth of machine and $9 ' worth of protection. If she buys a clock for S3 she re ceives $2 worth of clock and $1 worth of protection. If she pays $16 for a watch, $12 represents the time-piece; the other $4 go to "protect." somebody. If she buys a lamp for $1 there is 55 cents in lamp and 45 cent) to "keep the pot boiling" for some pro tected individual. If she has to buy a range or a stove for $35 she gets $17 in goods and $8 worth of protection. If she buys a dozen steel knives and forks, for $3 50 she gets about $2 in knives and $1 50 in protection. If she buys a dozen glass tumblers for $1 she receives in glasses 55 cents and 45 cents in tariff. If a young farmer buys $100 worth of implements to start out to farm ing he gets $55 in machines and $45 in tariff wind pudding. With the Mills bill passed he could get a horse and harness, as well as implements, for his $100. If a farmer purchase a barrel of salt for $1 he. gets 64 cents in salt and pays 36 cents in protection to companies in Syracuse, Warsaw and Saginaw. On a capital of $2,000,000 the Pennsylvania Steel Company in one year paid dividends of 22 per eent in cash, 55 per cent in a new method of took MfiAA.. fu, -h it h.A - Kij-w. :v cr.-vwxvr pronis amounting to m per eens. au addition to this there were about five hundred thousand dollars to add for six months' profits which had not been brought in, making the hand some showing of 250 per cent profit In 1880 the United States govern ment generously donated to the Bes semer ring (the Pennsylvania Steel Company and its co-manipulators) one hundred and fourteen million dollars of clear profit- The highest wages which the 140,- 978 laborers,, skilled and unskilled, obtained for their work in the iron mills during this year was $1.15 per day on an average. Note, this is the average for those earning h'gher pay. The ordinary unskilled laborer, the rank and file, received no more than 80 to 85 cents a day. A Prompt Transaction.

Neither the Re publican jparty nor the Democratic party hasja majority in the State, and the elements out of which they have to secure a majority are favorable to the Democratic party rather than to the Republican party, and they are especially friendly to the nominees of the Democratic party. President Cleveland ib especially strong because oi tne conndence in him as an execu tive officer. They are satisfied with his administration. Gen. Harrison, is weak outside of his own pftrty lines 1 "i l .,.. r uecause ox ms intolerance, txe is a very rigidf, decided llepublican parti san, ana not very tolerant of those who enteriain opinions different from his own. He has not been very com plimentary to ms opponents and ec pecially ip the Greenback party, and they do not forget it. But now we must takt into consideration that the Republicans have a special interest in carrying eur State, as it is the home of their candidate, and no means, fair or foul, tat can be resorted to by them wilt be omitted. How much they will accomplish yet remains to be seen, but I have an abiding con fidence that our State will go Demo cratic. ! believe our people will not be able tcj be moved from their con victions. As to the present outlook, my opinidn ia that the contest will be settled this year by the same States that settled it in 1884, and that the States that are decidedly Democratic will give increased Democratic majori ties, ana tne states that are decidedly Kepubhcan will give increased Re- dicatlon ft om the votesln those States th.t have held State elections, and will prove to be true m the presiden tial election." u Onr Chnrehos Today.
