This lacked about $10,000 of meeting the running expenses Only a like amount can be levied this year under the present State laws, and a mistake in the Sen. ate Journal makes it impossible for towns to sell bonds now.

A Great Banquet Methodist Men's Clubs. - That was a great banquet given by the Methodist Men's club of Lum berton in the dining room of the splendid hotel Lorraine on Friday night of last week. Responding to a very cordial invitation twenty-five . or thirty of the members of the Max ton club attended the banquet, and enjoyed the occasion immensely. Our crowd was a little late in reaching Lumberton, but we were in time for the best part f it. In addition to the visitors from Maxton, there were others from Wilmington, Rowland, Red Springs, St. Pauls, Fairmont and Rockingham. Unless I am mistaken - this new organization means a great deal for the men of our church. meeting a long felt need for some thing to call out the energies of our men. The women and children have been organized for many years, but until Dr. Frazer organized the idea of organizing our men, much of the man power of our church went to waste. Presiding Elder Shore deliv ered a splendid talk at the banquet, in which he said it was an easy mat ter to organize anything, but that tho important matter was to keep : it going. That is unques tionably true, but we believe that the Methodist Men's club has in it elements that cannot but appeal to men: with such force that it would, be Iriore-difficult -to stop it than it will, be -to keep it going.
