CONCERT DECIDED SUCCESS Mr, D. P. McEachern Returns ' ' From Southern TrI p Zeteslan Society to Give Entertainment iAcademy Loses In Baseball; Games. :: .jj; Red Springs, Martdv8& -It is to be presumed that Reel Springs will bound into the' tfreria to con tend that any extension of the Aberdeen and Rocktish railroad toward Lumberton should pass this way. Ther?li a proposition to extend it arid Lumberton is at work. Surely no surpassing farming fields nor finely wooded lands can be traversed by any other route. liot only so, but the passenger traffic as well as the freight traffic would in all probability- exceed that of any other route." This is almost, but another, wayof saying that a larger number of folks would be accomodated and enriched by this route It is up to Red Springs to sfcow its hand. Pre suming that tfohn Blue and J. F. L. Armfieldi are in earnest there is an opportunity. If the road can be had it must be-paid for like everything else.

Everybody well nigh stayed well all the time. In China the physicians are paid while their patrons are well, but they get no pay when sickness develops.

C. or THE McNEILL FAMILY. Explanatory. The preceding chapters on the "McNeill Family," called out by Mr. Pearson, of Moravian Falls, to aid him in his comtemplated history, etc., were published in The Argus. In Scotland and England Kings ruled, but here, it is the people. Scotland never was conquered by the tyranny and greed of Kings, as is clearly shown in their great victory at Bannockburn, but could be in a mere choice oetween runB houses, as shown in their defeat at Culloden. Love, as in the re nion of the Roses, only could win here! Not so Ireland, and sad her plight today,! The people are greater than thrones and those who aid them in love, in" their need, feel it. I spoke something of Baptist and Presbyterian belief and CaL vinistlc doctrines, and may say- hat have an abiding love for the Methodists also. Dr. Craven, of blessed memory, was my teacher for years and his college my Alma Mater. Our salvation m after life was full of love. He was a mighty man of God and a great scholar. He was of the Ameri can view, that Christians could fall from grace, and as to the mode of baptism, candidates could choose as they' believed. I can only say, ''Blest be the tie that binds our hearts in Chris tian love," and know that our eternity with such men as he, Rev. John Monroe and Dr. Hill would be a joy to me. , Mr. Pearson will readily under stand why so few names, show ing characteristics of the Clan Argyle and Colonsay are used. It is simply that the few illustrate the whole in general traits and otherwise. For instance, bravery, physical strength, piety and long gevity are 'clearly seen in the great ages and noble lives of Rev. George and Sheriff Hector Mc Neill. To individualize would be an endless task. What we know well. 's all that needs bo toJd, for but lew names made all clear to Queen Victoria's time, anil but few, make all clear till this day. '- v Then, after the pleasant day with our friend, his'lovely daugh ter "and the 'bonnie" cadets your scribe cast his eye, in sweet memory, glances over the busy. city, (then unbnmed) its thriving college and military school and entering his buggy gave "dandy grayJimTloose soon ;f over the twelve' mile's " of lovely country, good roads and bright river, at home in Scotland.

White) whose brother Duncan Camp bell, by pleading with the King, saved Rev. D. McArthur from banishment, and stopped the evil work! Mrs. White was a land owner, close to head of class. His mother, a McNeill, his wife a Robeson, his children educated and refined, as our family cus tom for age, in Scotland as well as for the time being in - this "Land of the Free." Thus, liter ally beginning the education of children long before their birth, as is said to be right. He a Pres byterian and I a Baptist both firm in the faith conversion faith, love, and obedience, essentials, and in the Calvinistic doctrine, that God will save all thus pre pared, who love, obey and ttrust Him. The Baptists obey the or dinance ofiBaptism as they un derstand it and the Presbyterians as they do. We are not to judge We are to love all His children, of all creeds, and sing in unison " Nearer my God to Thee.

McBryde, of "My ain Countree, " right by me in Wades boro,,with other warm friends the Ashes, Bennetts, Aliens, Mc Lauchlins, Marshalls, Covingtons, Laddys, Jjfclks, Ingram?

To this end all the railroads of the State were open ed to me and the princely William Johnston, of Charlotte, opened, free to ine, his railroad through Soutli .Carolina into Georgia. From the sea to tho mountains the highways were thrown wide, till linal triumph came through well directed efforts, under God 's own ruling power, and true man took the reins: Yes, Thomas Dixon, Jr.'s, ver sion of the horrors were true. , . -No crowned king an his throne ever received the love and horn-; age, willingly accorded by the people to-iihose wha earnestly helped them then." It was a try ing time, but triumphant. Mr. Pearson will note the high esteemthe, Colonsay McNeills were held in by kings and people through the centuries down to the present time.
