An event of much interest to th.e Episcopa
lians of the State, and especially of Salisbury
is th adjourned meeting of the Church Con
vention that meets in Raleigh day after to
morrow, for the purpose of electing au assist
ant to Bishop Lyman. The leading candidates
for tliis high office are : Rem. Div F. J. Mur-dot-.li4-ofthis
city, Dr. J. B. Cheshire of Char
lotte, and Dr. Mai shall, of Raleigh.
Dr. Wm. Whijte McKenzie has decided
to locate in Salisbury to practice his pro
fession. His card will appear in the
next issue of the Watchman. It will be
remembered that he graduated at the
Jefferson Medical College, of Philadel
phia with honor, and also ranked among
the best before the State Examininc
Board at its recent meetiug in Kaleigh,
and he enters upon his professional du
ties as one of North Carolina's brightest
and most promising young M. D's.
We received last week a copy of the
World's Fair Southern edition of the
Baltimore Xe.ws, a 64-page daily devoted
to the progress and prosperity of Balti
more and the Sonth. The Nra says
that Baltimore has entered a new era of
progress. $60,000,000 being now expended
for the development of various improve
ments and enterprises in the city. It
also says that, while the South's gain in
population from 18S1 to 1891 was only
about 20 per cent, its increase in the
production of grain was 66 per cent and
of cotton 64 per cent. It has increased
its production of pig-iron, its coal out
put and cotton spindles four-fold, and
has doubled its railroad mileage and
banking business. This special issue was
edited by Mr. Richard II. Edwards, who
has done much to make known to the
world the wonderful resources of our
suuny South.

Slatcsville thinks Sjilisbury is asking
for too many of the. lucrative federal
offices for her. favorite sons. Not at all.
Salisbury is only doing her duty by her
own, ami her sister town is exjieeted to
do likewise by its own. Statesville has
received" the Marshalsliip in the appoint
ment of Sheriff Allison ; and Salisbury,
, the Third Assistant Post master General,
ill the appointment of Hon. Kerr Craige.
So thus far honors are about even. Each
now lias, if we mistake not about the
same number of candidates for other
places yet to be filled, and if Statesville
does not getvbat it wants it should not
blame the wide awake Democrats of
llowan.

The following tribute to Evangelist R.
. Pearson from the Augusta (Ga.)
Chronicle will be read with pleasure by
his many warm admirers among our
people.
The series of meetings which has re
cently ended at the First Presbyterian
church have brought, to Augusta a
preacher who three weeks ago was a to
tal stranger in the community, but who
now holds a warm place in the hearts
of our people. Few men have ever vis
ited Augusta who can claim to have
made so lasting an impression on the
churchgoers as Dr. Pearson during the
meetiug just ended. More eloquent pul
pit orators have been heard, and there
have been revivals at which there were
more converts, but no speaker has im
pressed his hearers more forcibly with
his earnestness, his frankness, his own
faith in the Gospel which he preached,
and his desire to make it plain to others.
Dr. Pearson's frailty of body and voice
are overcome by his earnestness and his
magnetism. He soon secures the sym
pathy uud atteutiou of his audience, and
though he speaks plainly, he does so
without giving offence. He has made
many admirers during his interesting
series of meetings in Augusta, and will
carry away with him the wishes of the
community for his increased
and long life.

The "ilorgan Filter and Pa rifyer."
The above invention, patented by Jno. M.
Morgan, of thid city, h treating a sensation
among those who know the importance of
gcod, clear, pure water. The country is Hooded
with filters, but after a pretty thorough investi
gation of the subject, we feel safe in sayir.g
that not Oue of them will, in any way, com
pare with the ''Morgan Filter." It is the only
filter iu the world, so far as we know except
possibly the pasteur that wl afford an
abundant supply of clear, pure water without
the use of chemicals.
This filter has lately been put to a. severe
test in Richmond, Va., and the testimony of all
who stvw it iu operation is that it is the best
they have ever seen. It made the muddy,
James Rivei water clear, and by an analysis
made by Dr. Troubling it took out ?5 per
cent, of the albuminoid ammonia, .uud over 53
per ccut. of all organic matter. The following
is an extract from a letter from Mr, S. JI.
Hawes, one of the prominent merchants of
Richinoud : I think that filter is a good thing,
and want one in my house as soon ns your
company has them ready. They will take
well. It is sure in operation, and so simple
that a child can manage it, aud so far as we
can sec will last a life time.
The company that is referred to above is
composed of capitalists of Salisbury, and it is
arranging to manufacture these filters, and will
soon give the cities that have their water sup
plies from sources which are unavoidably im
pure an opportunity to hare their water made
pure and wholesome.

This is a very
serious question and one the people
should study with no little interest. I
am glad to see this paper take the stand
it does on this important subject, and
i it has been complimented for that po
sition. Surely no one can think that
whiskey is a beuefit to a town, while in
fact it is a curse. Drive it out and there
will be more bright homes and a more
prosperous people. I for one am in fa
vor of prohibition. But this is not news.
I hoptf however you will not censure me
for expressing mv opinion, sometimes,
on any subject that will be of interest to
your readers.
