What he Thinks of Preachers They Create a Social Sensation in the Household Hard Times of the Itinerant. The preachers are here 250 of them, and a whole lot more of laymen and editors and prolessors of colleges and the board of education. It is the North Georgia Methodist Con ference a power in the land and a power for good. There are some bishops, too, notable men, notable for piety and learning and eloquence. It is a feast to our people to listen to their picked men as they dispense wisdom from our pulpits. They are casting bread upon the waters, they are scattering seeds of repentance and love and kindness that will grow and grow and bear fruit. Their in fluence is all for good, our city fathers did not increase the police like they do when a circus comes, or when a political meeting or an election agi tates the community. VV e don t lock our doors nor hide our chickens. They didn't come hungry and they don't look hungry and those who have honored our mansion only feasted on Mrs. Arp's good' things out of respect to her. They know it is bad manners for a guest to slight the 'bounties of providence at a gen erous table. They are good com pany rich in pleasant memories and wit and anecdote. A more unsel fish, genial, thankful and self-sacrificing assembly than a Methodist can not be found in this sublunary world. If the love of money is really the root of all evil, just think what a giant curse these ministers escape. Most of them have families to support for it is a philosophic fact that a preacher will marry if he can and it looks like hey all can. And they get good wives, too, for a woman is obliged to be good who makes up her mind to marry a preacher, and especially a Methodist preacher. She has got to foreswear the fashions and the follies of life, and live for her husband and her children her duty and her God. It is certainly possible for a woman to do that and be happy, and move every two years besides. Their children are trained to economy, and they always have children lots of children who are born on the fly, sorter like some of ours were when my wife was running from the foul invader and dodging their scouts at every cross-road ; sometimes they are in a pretty good house and sometimes in a poor one that has a leaky roof and walls that are lively by night. Hut tkf oomfiirrs: rC tKo circuit riders are being gradually improved. Most of them have four churches to suffer with, and have to provide their own transportation, whether it be an old Methodist mare and saddle-bags or a Presbyterian horse and buggy. Sam Jones says he furnished his own nag the first vear he rode the circuit and received $6k for the support of is lamiiy. ins: aveiutze cncuu f "I 'II A. rider's pay in this conference is now about 5400 some more and some less. I see one name on the list who received only $134. I wouldn't live in that naborhood if I could help it ; I wouldn't settle down in any nabor hood where the people didn't pay the preacher. It is a bad sign. It is a Liiqfn that the land is poor or the people mean, must 00 whete Rut 1 iip rrpnpher? w tr- they are sent, and it is missionary woik to go to tne poor and the ignorant and proclaim the gospel The preacher can do this from a sense of Christian duty, but it is hard on the wife and the children. It is a school were the young preacher c:in learn how to preach "and can rjeyelop, if there is any gum in him. It is like a young lawyer practicing in a justice's court. It gives confidence in himself, and if he makes a blunder there is nobody who knows it. It is like a railroud man beginning his railroad life as a track raiser and climbing higher and higher, until, like Mr. Thomas, he reaches the hi; diest place. These bishops and ! 11 It . r presiding eiders were an circuit rid rs at the start and are full of memories about their first experience and their many hardships. XThe ex ample of John Wesley still animates these Methodists, for he crossed the ocean to preach to the savages. He forded rivers, crossed swamps, slept cn tne erouna, ana went Dare-looted, nd with all' that he. lived to be oientv-eieht years old and nas leit a name with more namesakes tnan any Christian name in the world. But he, too, had troubles worse than In dians or swamps. He married tco ate, and married too much a widow with lonr children can hardly mate happily with a man fifty years old She robbed h;m of his substance and ran away several times, and at last he let her go and wrote in his jour nal : "I did not forsake her, I did not dismiss her, I will not recall her Fortunately there were no children born to them. It seems to me that I could very easily be a Methodist. i o say that I could not would be a reflection upon thousands of great and good men who have lived and ded :n the faith and are now among the blessed. And so, too, I could be a Baptist or an Episcop:ilian. I wouldn't have far to go. But I like my own church government the best. The other day the preachers answered the question why are you ol your laitb, and each gaye some plausible reasons, but all of them left out the reason that animates most Christians when they choose a church. I am a Baptist because my fadier is or because my mother was. This is the kind of reason that controls 95 out of every 100 members of any church. Most every church member went to a par ticular church in youth, or to a par ticular Sunday school and then and there got the'r religious association fixed, and they had no desire to change it. They knew all the usages of that church, when to stand up when to sit down and when to kneel and when fo sins, and how to take a nap on the s'y, if the day was hot j and I b nrpnfhpr dnll Ac mr crnrvf i friend, Dr. Powell, would say : "It all ma,n who exploded the dyna- depends either on the heredity or nnte bomb in Russell Sage s office the .environment." The learned has been identified as Henry L. Nor doctor is our guest, and, having tor cros Boston. twenty years had charge of the State Edwajd. M. Field, who stole lunatics, he has made a specialty of money from the firm of which he was the laws of heredity, and is both in- a member and from his father, Cyrus structive and entertaining to 'listen to W. Field, and who was committed to him. "If there is no heredity," said ' the insane asylum, was arrested Tues he, "then eavironment comes next." j day upon the request of District At The idea is, that if a man was of j torney Nicoll, who declares that no Scotch decent and his ancestors for j man in New Y ork charged with a several generations were John Krtox feriine can avoid a prosecution by be Scotchmen, he would be a Prcsbvte- hip- committed in advance to a nri- rian just as naturally as water runs down hi'1. He might be left an orphan in infancy and grow up without religious training, and be as wicked as Satan, but if he became converted at a Mehodist revival he would join a Presbyterian church. That is heredity, and it prevails in all denominations to a large extent. It is stronger than environment, both in man and beast. Now, Mrs. Arp was a Methodist a very exemplary Methodist when I married her, but her heredity on that line was not overly strong, and so, like a dutiful w;fe, she came over to my church. It was her environment, and it was stronger than her heredity. She would have joined most anything for me then. If it was to do over again I have my doubts, for now she is my environment, and I am the prisoner. We have Dr. Powell and Dr. Glenn with us, and we had Mr. Yarbcough and Mr. W hite, and they were discussing the prodigal son, when Mr. Yarborough remarked that "the return of the prodigal and his generous, overwhelming forgiveness was the central figure in the painting, and all that about the envy of the elder son was just shading put in by the artist to fill up the picture. The world is full of things really unnecesa ry, but put in as ornaments. No doubt that there are parts of a horse's leg that the horse could have got along without just as well." Right there Dr. Powell bounced him and denied that there was any thing made without a beneficent pur pose not even the color of the hair on a horse's leg and he made the fur fly for awhile. They fought hard all round, but when the dinner bell rang they closed much nearer tOgdlnn liicm l,vn tlicy suuieu out. The dinner bell does have a harmo nizing effect. Blessings on the preachers. May they live long, and have free course wherever they go. It is safe to welcome them, for besides their ex ample, their influence and their delightful companionship, the good book says, "touch no jmine annointed md do my prophets no harm.

An acid which exists in sour milk and cider, called lactic acid, is be lieved by physicians to be the cause of rheumatism. Accumulating in the blood, it attacks the fibrous tissues in the joints, and causes agnoizing pains. What is needed is a remedy to neu tralize the acid, and to so invigorate the kidneys and liver that all waste will be carried off. Hood's Sarsapa rilla is heartily, recommended by many whom it has cured of rhema tism. It possesses just the desired qualities, and so thoroughly purifies the blood as to prevent recurrence of rhematic attacks. -W e suggest a trial of Hood's Sarsaparilla by all who suffer from rheumatism. NEWS OF A WEEK. WHAT ISHAVPEN'ING IN THE WOKL.D AROUND US. A Condensed Report of the News Our Contemporaries. From Senator M. S. Quay, of Pa., de clares positively that he will not be a candidate for re-election I vate insane asylum. Deputy sheriff J. B. Hardison, of j Martin county, yesterday brought two convicts to the penitentiary. He says the people in his county have very fine crops and are in good plight. That is cheering news. In this section the people are as blue as if the crop last year had not been one of the most monderful on record. It does not take much to depress their sp'nis evidently. Slate Chron icle. A man named Word, in Pender county, sued the Wilmington & Weldo i railroad for killing his hose. Involved in the case was a new po;nt: whether a railway is required to keep its right-of-way (which extends a certain number of feet on each side of the irack) clear of bushes. The Judge in the Superior Court charged the jury that it was negligence not to keep the lighl-of way dear of bushes, etc. Now the Supreme Court re verses this ruling and "for the first t;me in ten years a railway wins in a 'horse case'." A correspondent in the News and Observer says : "We have fourteen fine oaks on our premises of several varieties. After a heavy wind we find occasionally large, plump, fresh pecan nuts scattered about among the acorns." "Query is it a com mon thing for North Carolina oaks to bear pecan nuts?" Why not? We have heard of excellent raisins made of North Carolina persimmons, and why not pecans from North Carolina oaks ? In other states such a thing would not be thought possible, but please remember this is North Caro lina and don't you forget it, says the Ncwberne lournal. Another corres pondent ox tne mews and Ubserver suggests that flying squirrels carry the pecan nuts about. Perhaps few readers of The Ad vance know there is in Sampson county, on the lands of L. W. Hodges, there is a cave of large size, covering 100 acres. It is near the head waters of Northeast river. Its floor is of sand and its roof of sand stone about eight feet in thickness, on this being some ten feet of earth. A cold spring, with wrater sufficient to run a turbine wheel, pours in the cave. A company is expending $2,500 in the improvement of the cave, so that persons can ride or drive in! o it. The locality is five miles from Warsaw. Another won der is a natural well, in Duplin county, one mile and a half west of Magnolia. A plummet has been run down into this well to a depth of 200 feet, but so-Lar no bottom has been tound. F. H. Hickey, 1208 Main street Lynchburg, Va., writes: "I was broke out all over with sores, and my hair was tailing out. Alter using a few bottles of Botanic Blood Balm my hair quit falling out and all the sore:, got well." IHKEE VALUABLE OPINIONS. Hi'. Holinau's and Mr. Culler's Opinioas or The Third Party Project. Mr. J. B. Holman, a prominent Al lianceman of Iredell county, who has been a member of the Legislature eight years, and has been chairman of the finance committee for the past two' sessions, was in Raleigh yester day. Knowing the level head that he carries and the deservedly wide influence that he wields, the Chron icle asked him what would be the out come 01 all the rumors afloat about a third oarty in North Carolina. He gave it as his opinion that it would amount to but little. 1 here may be an attempt," he said, "to estab lish a Third Party, but if so it will amount to but little. The men who belor.gr to the Alliance who were Democrats before they joined . the Alliance are Democrats now. Join ing the Alliance did not interfere with their Democracy, and in 1892 they will be found fighting in the Democratic ranks just as they have been doing in the past." He believes that if any Third Party is organized, Republicans will be largely instru mental in its organization, as some of them are anxious for an opportu nity to leave that party. This opinion, deliberately formed by Mr. Holman, shows what the real leaders of the Alliance think of the so-called People's party, and its slim chances in North Carolina, Mr. Hol- man is orobablv the most influential and wisest member of the Alliance in his section of the State ; and his views are not his alone, but they are the views entertained by the great body of Democrats in his section of the State. The men who have been thorough -going Democrats all along haven't the remotest idea of going into the Third party. ' They have been Democrats from conviction, and the same convictions that have, caus ed them to be Democrats in the past operate to make them Democrats to day. Men of strong . convictions do not change; their political j affiliations with every passing breeze. They are stable and consistent. It may"? be that some men who have heretofore been Democrats will be led off into the Third Party movement. But, as Mr. Holman truly says, "it will amount tx) but little." State Chron icle, 25 th." 1 o-day your correspondent talked with President Marion Buder of the Farmers' Alliance and asked some di rect questions. Mr. Butler has al ways talked frankly with your cor respondent. When asked, "What do you think of the Third party in North Carolina?" he replied : ' As to that I have no information ; I know no more thati you do. Of course the Third party is organised in the country at large, and may come over into North Corolina. As to that I cannot say ; I have no means of knowing." "Did you ever see one of the circulars pledging Al- nancemen to support the I hird party which the Mecklenburg Times says are being sent -out ?" was next asked. to which Mr. Euttler replied : "I never saw one or never heard of one until I saw the matter published in the papers. I know the State Alli ance never sent out such circular and has nothing whatever to do with it, and I also know that it is not sent out by the National Alliance-" Asked about the strength of the Alliance, Mr. Butler said : "I esti mate that in the Eastern part of the State about 70 per cent of the farm ers are members. I take the counties of Duplin and Sampson as the basis for such a calculation. Why, in the town of Clinton there is a sub-Alliance with i;o members. In the Western part of the State the per centage is not so large, and it is there we are doing our special work. Tne growth of the order will be in the ad dition to the membership of sub-Alliances now existing and not in new Alliances. In the East the membej- ship in sufficiendy large." Raleigh Cor. Wilmington Messenger, Dec. 8h. remaps ho meeting was ever held in this country that was so grossly misrepresented as our National meeting at Indianapolis. It was stated that there was wrangling over Col. Folk s re-election, ,when the truth is, there was absolutely unani mity. It was given out that the meeting was discordant, when the truth is, it was harmonious in senti ment and purpose tkrougkout. Itta i iiic jj.iiLisian press tnat a tremendous big effort wras made to carry the Alliance into the Third party. The truth is that the matter was not given a moment's thought by the body, nor was it mentioned. On the contrary, President Polk's address was squarely ond boldly against allowing the AlHance to be subordinated to the purposes of any party, and that address was enthusi astically endorsed by all true Alli ancemen.

Editor Advance : The farmers in this county have finished housing almost the shortest crops known to our people which falls heavily upon the toiling masses ol an alarmed and distressed people, not only here, but throughout our southland. May God speed the day of retribution, that the oppressed and impoverished may once more leel they are in a land of plenty and prosperity. The Missionary Baptists have pur chased the Academy and its hand some site, and will at once fit it up for a church. Rev. G. M. Duke is the pastor at present, whose reputa tion is wide famed, and always talks to lull houses. regret to chronicle the death of W. G. WheelesSj of Hunts, this county, some days ago. He was an honest and highly honorable citizen, age about 50 years. He was a con sistent member of the Primitive Bap tist church, and leaves a devoted wife and several children to lament his death. I made a pleasant visit to the old but live town of Louisburg a few days ago, and notwithstanding the shortness of the crops in Franklin, much signs of thrift and business ac tivity on every hand, and she is be ginning to rival some of her sister towns as a prominent tobacco market. Elegant brick stores, commodious and handsome, are evidences that her merchants are getting a big" trade from the county of Franklin. J. A. Thomas, the handsome editor of the Times, was looking as bright as a rose in June, and is making his paper better than ever before. The heavy failures in Nashville was universally regretted, as the old and reliable firm of Boddie, Ward & Co., was one of the strongest in the coun ty, and none dealt more honesdy and fairly with the people than they. It is truly hoped they will soon be on their feet again. Short crops followed by poor collections was the cause of the assignment.
