There are some Iowa women who

presented a petition said to contain
4,000,000 names to boost his educa

asking government aid to help
Southern negroes who want to go
West to settle. Of all the things
easy to manufacture these days it is
the petition. All it requires is a
nimble pen and a good stock of
names to draw from, and the thing
is done.
It is said that the immense num
ber of small watermelons left by the
farmers of Georgia to rot in the fields
last year on account of the low price,
have brought in swarms of rats to
feed on the seeds. They have bur
rowed by the thousand in the fields
and the question with the farmers is
how to get rid of them before plant
ing again. Import some Chinese la
borers. The public building business is
starting out pretty brisk in this Con
gress. The Senate got through about
$5,000,000 worth of them last week.

The new hook and ladder truck which
arrived yesterday is named the "Jack

of Wilmington Hook and Ladder Com
pany No. 1. It was carried from the
railroad depot to the City Hall, where it
will be kept for the present until ar
rangements are made for it at the truck
house of Hook and Ladder Com
pany No. 1. The truck weighs about 8,
500 pounds, and cost $1,000. It was built
by Rumsey & Company, of Seneca Falls,
New York, and is as "pretty as a pic
ture." It was ordered by the city on
recommendation of the Boajd of Audit
and Finance and was built on specifica
tions as regards equipment, dimensions,
etc., submitted by Chief Martin New

plate on each side; is equipped with lad
ders made of Oregon pine, oiled and var
nished, with gold stripes, and lettered
with the initials of the company; has
three nickle-plated fire extinguishers,
and in all other respects is well
and completely appointed with every
thing necessary to to make it a perfect

N. C. S. S. CONVENTION.
THIRD ANNUAL MEETING IN WIL
MINGTON. Enrollment of Delegates Committees Ap
pointedAddress by Dr. F. H.
Pritchard Heport of the Sta
tistical Secretary Discus
cussion on Sunday
School Work.
The third annual meeting of the
North Carolina State Sunday School
Convention assembled at the First Pres
byterian Church in this city at 9 o'clock
yesterday morning, and soon after that
hour was called to order by the Presi
dent, Rev. Dr. Pritchard, of the First
Baptist Church.
The Convention was announced to be
held in the First Baptist Church, but on
account of important improvements in
progress for the accommodation of the
organ which is about to be placed in
that edifice, the change was made.
There was not a large number of dele
gates present at the first session, many
of them not having arrived in time to
participate in the initial proceedings. In
consequence of this fact considerable
businsss of importance was deferred un
til later, so that as large a number as
possible might have the benefit of hear
ing and taking part in that which was of
interest to them. The most of this de
ferred business was hearing the reports
of the secretary, statistical secretary and
treasurer.
The meeting opened with singing by
the congregation, Miss Annie Sprunt
presiding at the organ. Rev. E. A.
Yates then invoked the Divine blessing
on the deliberations of the Convention,
at the conclusion of which, Rev. W. S.
Creasy led the Bible reading service,
taking for his subject a portion of the
119th Psalm, upon which he made some
interesting and instructive comments.
At the conclusion of the Bible read
ing service. Rev. Dr. Hoge, of the First
Presbyterian Church, and Rev. F. D.
Swindell, Presiding Elder of Wilming
ton District, M. E. Church South,
made addresses of welcome to the
visiting delegates, both of which were
cordial and hearty greetings of welcome
to the hospitality of Wilmington; were
in excellent taste and were clothed in
eloquent and impressive words, which
came fervent from earnest and sincere
hearts.
Mr. J. H. Southgate, of Durham, was
to have responded to the words of wel
come, but was unavoidably absent, and
his place was ably filled by Prof. W. A.
Blair, of Winston, in language earnest,
eloquent, chaste and rich in pictures of
word painting.
The President then announced that
he had received a letter from Maj. Rob
ert Bingham, in which the latter re
gretted his inability to be present to
speak last night as had been announced,
but hoped to be here a little later dur
ing the continuance of the Convention.
The enrollment of delegates was then
taken up and concluded as far as dele
gates present would permit.
A Committee on Business, consisting
of Messrs. H. N. Snow, A. H. Merritt
and H. B. Broughton was then ap
pointed. Committee on Resolutions, Prof. W.
A. Blair, Rev. W. S. Creasy and Dr. J.
F. Hrrell.
On account of the absence of many
delegates, the reading of the reports of
the secretary, statistical secretary and
treasurer, was deferred until later, to
enable as many as possible to listen to
and take part in the discussion of those
important documents.
The chair then announced that the
business of the first session, as laid down
in the programme, had been concluded,
when it was suggested, and after some
discussion it was decided, that the hours
for the meeting should be at 9 a. m., 3
p. m. and 8 p. m,
The Convention then adjourned until
3 p. m.
The proceedings were made of addi
tional interest from the fact that the
President of the International Sunday
School Association of the United States
and Canada, Mr, Wm. Reynolds of Chi
cago, was present and gave encourage
ment and, in some instances, direction
to the proceedings by his thoughtful
suggestions and wise counsels,
afternoon session.
The Convention was called to order
at 3 p. m. with Rev. Dr. Yates in the
chair.
Praise service was conducted by
Rev. F. D. Swindell, with singing from
Gospel Hymns, by the congregation,
under the direction of Mr. C. H. Robin
son. Prayer by Rev. R. P. Law.
Reports of District Presidents were
called for, but as none of those officers
were ready, reports from the work in
counties and towns were made from
several localities in the State, all of
which were interesting as showing the
progress of Sunday School work
throughout the State.
After the reports of counties and
towns had been made, Rev. Dr. Pritch
ard addressed the Convention on the
subject of "Sunday School Conventions
Their History and Objects." In this
address the speaker first spoke of the
work and reviewed rapidly, but succinct
ly, the progress of the. enterprise to the
pjesent time, both National and Inter
national, together with the continually
growing interest manifested at each gath
ering, and giving interesting statistics
regarding every convention and some
points concerning those who had been
most active in furthering the object of
Sunday School Conventions. Passing
from this, the speaker proceeded to give
inimpressive language and with graphic
descriptive power the great benefits that
had been conferred on the Christian
world through this beneficent enter
prise ; the progress that had been made
in eductating the people up to a better
knowledge of the Bible and its vitally
important truths and teachings through
the instrumentality of the almost num
berless publications concerning the
Bible, which had their origin in these
Sunday school conventions. It was an
able effort and every word received the
most profound attention of all present.
Mr. H. N. Snow of Durham, statisti
tical secretary, then made an exhaustive
statement of the Sunday school work in
this State. This covered a large area of
territory embracing nearly the entire
State, and it was pleasantly instructive
from the fact that it developed a growing
interest everywhere in this great Christ
ian enterprise, besides being cheering
news to all who are interested in devel
oping ana fostering a work of such vast
moment to the civilized world.
The "Work in other States" washen
discussed ably by Mr. Wm. Reynolds, of
Chicago, President of the International
Sunday School Union. Officially he has
visited nearly every, one of the United
States, as well as Canada and other
British Provinces, and the account he
gave of what he saw and heard regard
ing Sunday Schools during his travels
was interesting, entertaining, and in
structive, and was cheering tidings to all
present.
The "Work in other Lands" was then
treated by Prof, W. A. Blair, of Win
ston. In this the speaker gave a
rapid glance at the spread, growth
and advancement of the Sunday School
work in England, Ireland, Wales and
Scotland, in the British Empire. Conti
nental Europe was then hastily travelled
over and thence to the Indies and China
and Japan.
Benediction was pronounced by Rev.
W. S. Creasy and the Convention ad
journed until 8 p. m.

NIGHT SESSION.
Congregation joined in singing "Res
cue the Perishing."
Rev. J. J. Hall, qf Raleigh, conducted
the opening exercises by reading the 72d
Psalm, and offering prayer.
The Executive Committee of the Con
vention submitted their report, giving
full account of their work during the
past year and outlining a plan for county
organizations. It was staged in the re
port that there are to-day 269.563 per
sons connected with the Sunday Schools
of North Carolina. It was recemmencS
ed that organizers should be employed ;
systematic house to house visitation ;
neighborhood conferences ; the woman's
mission aid for supplying the destitute ;
home Sunday Schoolclasses to reach
the 401,110 chjdren not now in Sunday
School;
The report was very elaborate and
presented a great deal of information
collected by the Secretary of the Com
mitttee, Mr. H. N. Snow, of Durham.
On motion of Mr. Reynolds the re
port was referred to a Committee for the
recommendation of such matters as
should be brought before the Conven
tion. Mr. Snow also reported, as statistical
secretary, giving the number of officers,
teachers and pupils belonging to the
different denominations of the State.
The report was adopted.
The first address of the evening was
delivered by Mr. A. McPheeters, of
Raleigh, on the subject, "Spiriturl Prep
aration Necessary to Success in Sunday
School Teaching." The teacher cannot
take the place of the parent or the pas
tor, but can aid them in the spirit
ual training of .the children under
their charge. If it is the object of the
teacher to teach geography, chronology
and the like he needs no spiritual
preparation, but if the purpose is to
lead immortal souls to Christ, then he
does need very much spiritual help.
The means toward gaining this need
are preparation, diligence and prayer.
He must drink deeply from the foun
tain God's word. Mr. McPheeters
illustrated tha necessity and power of
boldness for the work by giving an in
cident in his own life while a citizen of
Norfolk, Va., when a young man. How
he spoke to a friend about his
soul who was an infidel, and who
by a word in season was led to
Christ. We are too often cowards
in our work. We need spiritual prepa
ration to give us boldness for our work
as Sunday School teachers. We dare
not go into this work without divine
help. God has promised the power we
need.
Mr. McPheeters closed his address by
an earnest appeal for consecration and
devotiou.
The Convention closed by singing
"While the Days are Going by."
Tornado at Whitakers.
A correspondent of the Star, writing
from Whitaker's, N. C, says a terrible
tornado, accompanied with hail and
rain, visited that place last Monday
afternoon. The hail stones were as
large as partridge eggs, and the storm
was one of the most severe ever known
there.
