The Republicans, in the last cam

cents to one cent. Instead, Mr.

This is a specimen of Republican
campaign promises and the way they
are carried out.
A ministerial career of nearlv fif
ty five years was ended at Macon,
Ga., recently in the death of the
Rev. W. 11. Mcintosh at the age of
79. He had held charges in many of

secretary and then president of the

It is estimated that, although
there are over 100,000 telephone
talks a day in the city of New York;
there are probably a million people
living there who have' never yet
talked over a telphone. The long
distance telephone service has been
made very efficient, as may be gath
ered from the fact that the roar of
Niagara Falls can now be distinctly
heard in the city over its lines.
Even the devil is not so black as he

circular letter on that subject was
exactly to the point and that the
postoffice employes should be gov

The preparations for the apw

are rapidly approaching completion.
The ladies are working like heroes
to get everything in shape in time
for the opening to morrow evening.
There is much to be done as yet as
the decorations are only partly com
pleted on the walls and the tables are
to be prepared. There is already a
handsome display of bunting and
evergreens there and others, and
the floral adornments, will be. put in
to morrow.
Mr. James Spruut has offered the
ladies the use of his steam yachts,

moonlight excursions ' around the
harbor should they deem it desirable
to try. something of this kind.

Lung Trouble, Rheumatism, Etc.
Frequently a person is supposed
to have consumption T when Jt is
some other disease altogether, that
is reducing his flesh and making him
look pale and thin.
J. W. Yates', Tullahoma, Tenn.,
writes: "It does me good to praise
Botanic Blood Balm. It cured me
of an abscess on the lungs and
asthma that troubled me two years
and that other remedies failed to
benefit."
So you see it is sometimes well to
remeayis so good as B. B. B. (Bo
tanic Blood Balm) for rebuilding
wasted tissue, and giving health to
evefy portion of the system reached
by that great circulating stream of
life, the human blood. Again, it is
often supposed that colds and expo
sure are the only causes of sciatica,
"rheumatism, etc. Such is not al
ways the case. It is frequently
caused by impurities in. the blocd.
Win. Price, Luttsville, Mo.. writes:
had lost the use of one arm and e
leg lor nine years, l went to not
Springs and also tried different doc-
tors, but found no cure until I triewi
Botanic Blood Balm. It made me
sound and well. I am well known
in this vicinity."
Observe.jeven when the renowned
Hot Springs failed, 11. B. B. brought
relief. Remember, no matter what
blood remedy, you have tried or in -
tend to try, B. B. B. is the only one
that will give you complete fatisfac .

' The Lutheran Synod.
The 7th convention of the Evan
gelical Lutheran Synod of North
Carolina will be held in St. Luke's
Church, near Lexington, Davidson
county, beginning next Friday morn
ing at 10 o'clock. The opening ser
uion will be preached by the retir
ing President, Rev. F. W. E. Pes
chau. -
Many members have been recently
added to the Lutheran churches in
this State, as -the following will
stiowr-Ta S t .--Mn rVs -C h u rrtrC h af -lotte,
12: to St. James, Concord. 30;
to St. Enoch's, Enochville, 21; to St.
John's, Salisbury, 17: to St. Stephen's
Charge. Gold Hill, 30: to Sf. Paul's,
Wilmington, 31.
Missions have been started in the
last two months in Concord and
Wilmington, and are very promising.
The Lutheran Church is steadily
growing and the report of the next
Synod from all the pastors will no
doubt be good.
The L,aet Enemy.
The remains of the lamented II.
11. Gieschen were tenderly laid
away to rest lo day in Oakdale
Cemetery. The funeral cortege
formed at the house and wended its
way to St. Paul's Lutheran Church
where the impressive, ceremonies
were pronounced most feelingly by
the pastor of the church. Rev. F.
W. E. Peschau. From the church
the procession moved its way to
Oakdale where the body was laid
away until the last enemy shall have
been conquered and the grave shall
yield its victory. t.
The funeral cortege was a lengthy
one. It was led by the (jermania
Cornet Band, of whioh deceased
was a charter member, and it was
attended by the members of Howard
Relief Fire Engine Co. No 1. of
which he was Foreman, Germnnia
Lodge No. 4, K. of P., the Christian
Association of St. Paul's Church,
the two other lodges of Knights of
Pythias in this city, His Honor the
Mayor, the Fire 'Committee of the
Board of Aldermen, Assistant. Cliief
Cazaux, and delegations from all
arm of the Fire Department. In ad
dition to these there was a large con
course of citizens. The pall-bearers
were Messrs. A. Adrian. J. G. Olden
buttel, H. Boesch, II. L. Vollers. P.
Fick, M. Bremer, William Otersen
and C. W. Polvoght.
Xot the State This Time.
leaterday's Raleigh Ncivs and
Observer says that " Col. R. M.
Evans, Congressman Reyburn's rep
resentative, has returned to the city
from Philadelphia where he met Mr.
Reyburn. He is here in the interest
of another important purchase of
land in Eastern North Carolina con
templated by Mr. Reyburn. He has
taken an option on Smith's Island,
at the mouth of the Cape Fear river,
twenty eight miles from Wilming
ton, and opposite Southport, and
kndwn as Bald Head Island. The
island is owned by the State. It has
a driving beach of thirteen miles,
and contains three or four thousand
acres of live oaks and palmettoes. It
also has an unbroken front of twenty-three
miles of oysters. The island
is well adapted for a hotel and sum
mer resort, and Mr. Reyburn pro
poses to build an elegant - hotel
there, and lay out the island into
town lots, making a pleasure resort
and watering place similar to At
lantic City or Cape May. It will
also be connected with a main land
i ii --.i -
lighthouse is situated on this island. "
There is one important mistake
here. Smith's Island does not be
long to thfe State and is therefore
to be sold and not given away to
the first man who comes along and
chinks a handful of dollars in his
pocket. There is no dollar an acre
in this business and perhaps for no
other reason in the world than that
it is nrivate and not public pronert v.
