WHOLE NO. 2080; THE LUMBER BRIDGE NEWS LUMBER BRIDGE. M. C. REV. P. R. LAW. D. D., - EDITOR Fayetteville Presbytery met at Centre oharch last Tuesday. Thir ty-two of tbe o( churches were represented and twenty-one of tbe SO ministers were present. Rev J. D. A. Brown preached, by re oaest. the opening sermon. Rev W. R. Coppedge, tbe Jast modera tor present, called tbe meeting to order. Rev. L.v A. McLannn, n Raefod, was elected moderator and Rev. L. Smith, ot Manly, and Col. E. F. MoRae, of Maiton, were elected temporary cleik). Rev. R. P. Smith, of Asbeviilf-, superintendent of Synodical Home Missions, was invited to sit in the body as a corresponding mem ber. A hew church was reported by a commission to have be or ganized at Duke and was enrolled under that name. Kev. W. T. Walker was elected treasurer of the Presbyterial Home Mission and Presby terial Golportage Funds. He was already treasurer of the Pres- byterial Fund- Rev. Charles W. Kice was admitted, alter exami nation, to membership from the Presbytery of Lyons. J. C. Rowan, a member of Union church and graduate of Davidson College, was examined aud taken under the care of the Presbytery as a candi date for the mmstry. Laurel Hill church was choBan as tbe place for the next meeting of Presby tery. A commission was appointed to go to Dundarrach to organize a church there if the way be clear. The following persons were ap pointed to constitute the commis sion: Rev. J- D. A. Brown, Rev. J. A. Caligan, Rw. D.Monroe and Elders J. VV. McLauchliu and J. H. Morgan. Kev. Joseph Evan, Rev. M. N. Mclver and Elder J. A. McAllister were appointed a committe to report to Presbytery at the adjourned meeting to be held at Synod on answer to a petition to move Lebanon cburoh building and organization, without change of name to Pembroke. The making of quite a number of im portant reports were deferred to tbe adjourned meeting. The meet ing was an exceptionally delightful one. The cburoh had been re painted outside and inside and fortunately the seats were per fectly dry. Everybody commented upon its handsome and imposing appearance outside and attractive ness inside. Dinners were served on one long table. It goes without saying that quantity and quality were all that could be desired. Tbe social feature of all eating in a free and easy way together was particularly enjoyed. Presbytery adjourned Thursday afternoon to meet during Synod at Red Springs at the call of the moderator. The Synod of North Carolina will bring into Robeson county as its meeting in tbe college at Red Spring next Tuesday more Pres byterian preachers and more Pres byterian elders than ever assem bled in it before. It will be a historic meeting we feel warranted in saying. The indications point to the largest meetiug of the Synod in the history of the venerable body. More rnliug elder members are expected than usually attend. Tbe girls of the college are to vacate their rooms and the Synod is to occupy them. Of course the girls are expecting to enjoy being the guests of the town. And it goes without saying that the mem bers of Synod are to enjoy this reminder of oollege life. They are to be assigned their rooms by number. Of course there will be some confusion, for this brother and that will forget his number and his floor in less than six hours. And we dare say there will be none too much sleep by tbe brethren. The girls for orioe will be surpassed by talking through the night. The Methodist churches both North and Soutb, we learn, do a jrise thing and one most worthy of imitation -make a collection for college work annually. The amount eaoh church is expected to pay is assessed and it is forth coming. Trinity College, though so handsomely endowed, gets tbe larger part of these collections made in North Carolina to defray Ats current expenses. The occasion oi maaiog mis collection is su admirable one to nnfo.'d the great importance, yea tbe necessity, of higher churcfc and christiau edu cation. The ministers of that church, we take it, seize upon the opportunity very wisely and do tbe cause of Christ the great ser vice ot unfolding the subject and laying bare tbe great need of tbe schools for more funds to carry on tneir great wort. f John Henderson McEachern died in St. Luke's Hospital, Fayette ville, last Wednesday at 11 a. m in the ioth year of his age. One of the foremost citizens in the county is gone. His prominence bad been acknowledged a long time. lie was one of that class all too small which adds to the prestige of a people. The fine family line to which be belonged has but the more eclat for hi9 long life record. He was in public life much aud filled places of honor and trust with distinguished credit to himself and entire satis faction to his constituents. Con servative, intelligent, honest, faith ful by nature it was not surprising that be should please the people in public service and be popular with all classes of bis fellow citi- zans. As a justice of tbe peace be bad no superior if any equal. As commissioner of tbe county he commanded the respect and admi ration and retired irom the office with the confidence and approba tion of all the people. Asa Sena tor in the State Legislature bis intelligence and sagacity shone conspicuously and his people felt honored by his services. His life was a clean one. No place was left in his doings even to suspect crookedness. The sobriety of his udgmbnt was widely known. Few of his conquerors were sousht after oftener as a counsellor. He was a fine business man. By reason of his good sense and practioal intel- lgence bis energies were crowned with success. He had net earnings annually from which to lay by something year after year. He was a modest man. Tbe self-as sertion that so often gives many all tbe prominence they have and all tbe places of distinction they nil was distasteful to him. Reti cence aud unobtrusiveuess were conspicuous characteristics. He met death with tbe composure and equanimity of tbe soldier be was on tbe field of battle. At tbe ast he was entirely conscious and recognizing tbe end remarked, "I am now come to tbe close of my earthly . life" and died. These parting words have tbe ring of a veteran who was no straoger to victory, The funeral services were con ducted from the country home, Millside, near Lumber Bridge, by Kev. J. A. Uahgan and Rev. P. R. aw. His body was laid to rest in tbe family cemetery. Tbe great crowd that came to tbe obsequies of both raoes and all classes at tested the high esteem in which in which he was held. One of the pillars is felt to have fallen in the social fabric. A really painful void is in the community. Tbe stay, the tower of strength and defence is gone Out of the borne now in gloom. Our sympathies go out to tbe bereaved and sorrow ing family. Purchases The City of Fayetteville." Mr. T. D Love, the well-known and popular steamboat man of Wilmington, has purohased the City of Fayetteville'' from Lis- man, Lorge & Co , of New York, and will put her in commission as soon as some repairs are nude. he "City of Fayetteville" has een tied up at ber wharf in Campbellton sinoe the company went into the hands of a receiver, and her purchase by Mr. Love, for he purpose of running her be tween Fayetteville and Wilming ton, will be hailed with delight by everyone.

The bu reau of information, which has its offices in the Capital Club build ing, furnished rooms and other quarters to great numbers of per sons and is proving itself a nota ble convenience. The decoration of public and private building went on all day. Across the prin cipal street a very large net banner was displayed, with an immense picture of President Roosevelt up on it. The attendance at the fair grounds was extremely good today, and in Tact broke the record for the opening day. Governor Glenn and President Ashley Home of the State Agricultural Society, were escorted to the grounds by Chief Marshal B. Frank Mebane, and a great number of assistants, all well mounted. So many mar shals had never been seen here be fore, and they represent all parts of the state. The governor for mally opened the fair. Every thing presented a very attractive appearance, the new grand stand proving very convenient. The space beneath it is utilized and in act every bit of space available within the grounds is occupied, t'o many shows were never before seen at tbe fair. The agricultural exhibit needs stimulation. There are many county fairs north of here which make better exhibits in this department, and some township fairs are as large or lar- . a . a i i til ger in tb is ..respect, oteps will have to be taken to induce coun- ies to make exhibits by the offer of very handsome prizes, most probably in money. Wilmington Messenger. Two stroDg and especially note worthy features of tbe American Monthly Review of Reviews for October are: the number of origi nal articles and editorials on tbe consummation of peace between Russia and Japan, and tbe strong riginal and and editorial presen tation of tbe much-discussed ques tion of life insurance. Mr. Louis E. Van Norman tells bow tbe treaty of peace was made at Ports mouth ; Mr. W. T- Stead, writing from St. Petersburg, recounts bow be Russian capital received tbe news ot peace; and Air. Adacbi Kmnosuke presents reasons for tbe opposition to the terms of the treaty on the part of a large ele ment of the Japanese population. In "The Progress of the World," tbe effects of peace upon Russia, Japan, and upon tbe whole world in general are considered, and tbe most noteworthy cartoons of tbe month, based on tbe conclusion of tbe war and the b'essings of peace, complete consideration on this tppio of world interest. Mr. Wai ter Wellman's article, "American Life Insurance on Trial," is a trenchant exposition of the in surance situation as viewed from tbe outside. In "Tbe Progress of tbe World," the lovestigatibn of the great insurance companies and the effect of certain revsl&ions as to unsound business methods and political contributions are discussed. Real Estate Tranf er. ' Mr. L. L. Pate, of Robeson county, and brother of Deputy Sheriff J. A. Pate, has purchased the Ward farm in Seventy-First -'r:r--.- . township, and will make his future home there. The purohase price was $0,250.

McLean fc Co., in steaa or going, to scnooi as we erronio'usly reported in our last. Mr. Knight Cashwell was up from Wilmington to spend last Sunday with old friends.

Tbey are both look ing well and prosperous. Farmers all Together. The fact becomes more and more evident that the farmers are determined to hold their cotton for better prices. Mecklenburg county cotton growers association, stated to an Observer reporter tew days ago tnat ne bad never seen the farmers so set upon any one thing at they now are to se cure higher prices for their pro duct. "As I pass about in the oounty, I find the people united on this question, and there is now no question as to their holding together. Tbe farmers are begin ning to realize their power a-d they are determined to assert themselves in this matter which is of such vital interest to them. Yes, the farmers, are working in perfect harmony and that is the best news that can be proclaimed anywhere." The facts would indicate that Mr. Moore is correct in his state ments. Tbe receipts on tbe local cotton platform for the past week or more have been unprecedentedly mall, and unless the price ot the staple advances there is but little probability of any changes very soon. It is admitted tnat it tney succeed in the presentstruggle this will be one of tbe greatest achieve ments in the annals of the South. Charlotte Observer. "Malooey's Wfeldfng."
