Congressman Dorsev teleeranhs
from away off in Nebraska to Boss
Uuay for heaven's sake to "have the
manufacturers quote lower prices
ana deny that the McKinley bill
raises prices," for it is knocking the
bottom out of the old concern out
there. But the Boss couldn't help
mm tor the prices had ris' and the
manufacturers: had sent out their
thousands of circulars announcing
that sockdolager for a fact. They
will have to grin and bear it and face
the rack if it does hurt.
In travelling to meet his appoint
ments in Ohio, Gov. Hill, of New
York, met on one of the trains he
was on Mr. McKinley, father of the
new tariff monstrosity. He stated
in his speech afterwards at Wooster,
that Mr. McKinley said to him that
the Republicans intended to pass the
Force bill, whether the elections in
Novembei went for or against them.
This shows that the leaders of the
g. o. p. consider themselves in pretty
close straits.
With the number of heads of De
partments whq, are at home running
the politics of their districts
while they are drawing their salaries
for attending to business in Wash
ington, and the number of clerks
and other employes who will soon
be lighting out to vote, Washington
will look like a deserted Jtown. Who
said this wasn't a civil service ad
ministration?
Mr. Harrison, who draws $50,000 a
year for appointing Republicans to
office, thinks a "cheap coat makes a
cheap man." He don't believe in
cheap things. This is the principle
upon which the McKinley tariff was
constructed.

morning session.
Synod met at 9:30 o'clock and opened
with prayer. The minutes of yester
day's session were read and approved.
The clerk was instructed to procure
from Dr. Morton, Synodical Evangelist,
statistics from the report made by him
yesterday for incorporation in the Min
ntes of the Synod.
T1 . r . , .
iue report or tne committee on
records of Fayetteville Presbytery was
received, adopted, and the resolutions
sustained,
Report of the committee on Union
Theological Seminary was received and
approved and a resolution offered in
connection therewith was adopted.
The unfinished business was taken up,
which was the consideration of the
report of the Synodical Commission.
Rev. C. A. Munroe asked if the estab
lishment of the Central University
recommended by that Commission was
intended to supplant the theological
institutions of the church now in exist
ence! Dr. Shearer, the chairman of the
Commission, replied that such an Uni
versity would necessarily need many
feeders, and the decided sentiment of
the Commission was that it would.
rather than hinder the work of present
schools, be the means of establishing
more high schools, and increasing the
Universal interest in the cause of educa
tion.
The recommendations of the Com
mission were largely discussed, and
their import clearly set forth by Dr.
Shearer. The report was adopted, and
is as follows:
We, the commissioners appointed by
the Synods of North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia, and South Georgia
and Florida, beg leave to submit to the
Synods the following report :
I. We deem it desirable, necessary,
and practicable for the four synods to
unite in founding and fostering a school
common to them all. We do therefore
recommend the adoption of the follow
ing Plan of Union, which shall be of the
nature of fundamental law for the pro
posed institution :
1. The Synods shall appoint eadh
three Regents, so elected that one shall
pass out of office - each year, who shall
constitute a Board of Regents, of whom
onr half shall be a quorum. The sole
government of the institution shall be
long to this Board,
2. Such institution shall embrace first,
such academic and scientific courses as
are usual in institutions of a high grade,
and then such professional polytechnic,
and industrial schools and courses as
may from time to time seem proper and
necessary. In connection with every
course there shall be given a thorough
and comprehensive Biblical training so
as o make an intelligent Scriptural
faith the controlling principle of the in
stitution. 3. The school shall be called a Uni
versity, in that it shall offer the best
facilities m reach for thorough culture
and a high standard of graduation, and
also an ever-widening scheme of courses
taught, all to be presented in such rela
tions and combinations as may seem
wisest.
4. The Bo:rd of Regents shall exer
cise the usual powers of such bodies,
and employ executive agencies and ex
act such by-laws as may seem to them
necessary for the furtherance of their
work and shall secure a Charter of In
corporation in the State where they shall
locate the institution.
5. This Board shall proceed at their
own discretion to secure a plant for the
University, and endowments, both tem
porary and permanent. They shall locate,
organize, and develop the institution as
soon as in their judgment it can be done
with safety, and to such extent as the
means in hand will justify without in
curring debt.
6. Any other sister Synods or any
new Synods formed of parts of these
shall be entitled to elect Regents as
herein provided, on their adoption of
this Plan of Union.
7. This Plan of Union shall be in force
when ratified by three Synods.
II. Thfs Conference also offers the
following recommendations to the Syn
ods in furtherance of this great interest :
1. That the Synods appoint each
a Committee on Church and Christian
Education and urge their Presbyteries
to do the same, the duty of which com
mittees shall be to disseminate informa
tion and excite interest in Christian
education as best they may, and make
annual reports to their respective bodies
on this subject.
2. That the Synods urge upon the
ministers under their charge, to preach
and instruct the people on the duty and
necessity of providing, as far as possi
ble, for the education of our sons and
daughters, and to give a special em
phasis to the cause. of female education.
3. That Presbyteries, sessions, offi
cers, and private members of the Church
be exhorted and encouraged to provide
in every possible way for schools, both
primary and preparatory, in which the
Bible shall be a text-book.
4. Also that the Synods cause to be
prepared and circulated pastoral letters
on this subject to all our people.

Regents of the Orphan 'sa Home to fill
vacancies, recommer..ei S. A. Wiley in
the place of Hon. D. S. Fowle, Rev. W.
R, McMillan in the place of Rev. Mr.
McBride, and A. Leaz.ar in the place of
Hon. Alfred M. Scales. Report received
and adopted.
The report of the Committee on Ad
dress to the Churches was received,
adopted and ordered printed in the ap
pendix to the minutes.
Report of the Agent of Publication
was received, resolutions considered seri
atim and adopted, and the report
adopted as a whole.
The Moderator made a satisfactory
explanation of why the report of mis
sions in this city was not read yesterday
in connection with the report of honre
missions, and said that it would be in
corporated in the minutes of the Synod.
Reports -of Committee on Statistical
reports of presbyteries was received and
approved and ordered printed in the ap
pendix to the minutes.
Rev. J. M. 'Wharey, D. D., Rev. C. A.
Munroe and Ruling Elder J. A. Gil
more were appointed a committee to
nominate a board of Regency of the
proposed Southern University, and a
Committee on Church and Christian
Education, as required by the report of
the Synodical Commission.
The report of the Synodical Agent of
Sabbath Schools was read by the Agent,
Rev. A. R. Shaw. The report shows
that never before in the history of the
Synod has the progress in this line been
as marked. It is worthy of nbte that
the Sabbath Schools in Concord Presby
tery contributed in the past year
more for the purpose of bene
ficence than for ttheir own expenses;
and also that in the Presbytery of Fay
etteville, 535 Sabbath School scholars
were admitted to communion; nearly
one-half of the number reported by the
six Presbyteries. Report received and
adopted.
A resolution expressing the regret of
the Synod that "time did not admit of
a fuller discussion of the subject of Lay
Evangelization so that speakers could
be heard on both sides" was adopted
by a unanimous rising vote.
Report of the Agent on Education
was received. In this connection Rev.
Dr. Shaw, President of Davidson Col
lege, gave an interesting report of that
institution. Report adopted.
Rev. R-. C. Beaman, of the M. E.
Church South, was introduced and
asked to sit as a visiting brother.
Report Of Committee to nominate a
Board of Regency of the Southern Uni
versity suggested the names of Rev. J.
B. Shearer, D. D. Rev, J. S. Watkins D. D.
and Major Robert Bingham. The report
was adopted.
As the Committee on Church and
Christian Education, Rev. J. H. Rum
ple, D. D., Rev. J. H. Smith, D. D., and
Geo. E. Wilson, Esq., were appointed.
Report of the Synod to the General
Assembly was received and adopted.
The time fixed for the next meeting
was changed to Tuesday, Nov. 10, 1891,
at 7.30 o'clock.
Rev. P. H. Hoge, D. D., Rev. H. G,
Hill, D. D., and Judge T. B, Womack
were appointed alternates on the Board
of Regency of the Southern University.
Report of the Committee on Paro
chial Instruction was referred to the
Committee oh Church and Christian
Education.
The following resolution of thanks
was adopted bv a unanimous rising
vote:
Resolved, That the Synod of North
Carolina hereby heartily thank the
members of the Presbyterian churches
and the citizens of Wilmington for the
hospitable entertainment and various
courtesies extended during its session; to
the officers of the different churches for
the offer of their houses of worship;
to the city newspapers for their accurate
reports of its proceeding and the sev
eral railroads that allowed reduction of
tare over their lines. The Synod would
desire to make special mention of the
labors of Mrs. W. Frank Williams for
the very accurate reports which she has
furnished the daily papers, and would
tender especial thanks to her for her un
tiring labors during our session."
Report of the committee on the
North Carolina Presbyterian was dock
eted for the next meeting of the Synod.
The roll was called, the minutes of
the last session read and approved, and
with singing, prayer, and the Apostolic
benediction, the seventy-seventh session
of the Synod closed.
Miss Manning.
Tuesday night Effie Ellsler commences
an engagement at the Opera House,
opening in her latest success, entitled
"Miss Manning." Of the play and com
pany the Richmond Times of Wednes
day said :,
Miss Effie Ellsler, a great favorite
with Richmond theatre-goers, began a
three nights' engagement at the Acad
emy last night, presenting for. the first
time here her latest comedy success,
"Miss Manning." The play is different
from anything in which Miss Ellsler has
appeared, inasmuch as it affords her
an opportunity to make her oudience
laugh instead of cry, and that they did
laugh and thoroughly enjoy this charm
ing comedy was attested by the frequent
outbursts of applause and curtain calls.
Miss Ellsler's part is full of comedy, and
she completely captivated he large au
dience present by her rendition of two
songs with piano accompaniment in the
second act.
The company with which she hes
surrounded herself this season is better
than ever before.
Reserved seaes may be had at Yates,'

WILMINGTON LIBRARY ASSOCIATION
A Pleasant Place For "Visitors Many Ad
ditions to the List of Books During
the Past Year.
Those who have not visited the
Library Association rooms, on Market

many improvements of the past year.
The reading room is one of the most
attractive looking places in the city, and
one that has been much patronized of
late by our reading public, Since March,
there have been over 3,500 visitors to
the rooms, and over 800 books taken out
for home reading. More than 90 books.
have been presented to' the Library; em

The Library has been made a govern
mental depository of public documents,
and the Coast Survey has promised it a
complete set (over 400) of their maps.
Its new card catalogue has been com
pleted so as to show at a glance all the
books of the Library, either by the
author's name, or by the first word of its
title, or by the subject written about.
This catalogue is the first of the kind in
this city, and is a curiosity worth exam
ination by those who have not already
seen one.
A NEW RAILROAD.
Letters of Incorporation Taken Out for a
Big Through. Line.
The Raleigh News and Observer men
tions that attorneys for a company of
capitalists, representing six million dol
lars, last Friday took out letters of in
corporation from the Secretary of State
of North Carolina under the laws of the
State, chartering the Norfolk, Wilming
ton and Charleston Railway Company.
The News and Observer adds : "The
line will run into this State not far from
the town of Shallotte, running through
into Columbus or Bladen, and then pur
suing the coast line as near as may be
practicable, will pass throughJWilming
ton, and proceed thence on to Norfolk.
The company has been duly organized,
and the required amount to secure the
charter has been duly paid in. The cor
poration is composed of able men, in
cluding the strongest capitalists of Vir
ginia, North Carolina and South Caro
lina. Among the directors there are
men who are well known in Charleston,
Wilmington and Norfolk. It is definite
ly learned that the scheme has gone so
far that the building of the line is now
positively assured at an early date."

Dr. B. L. Abernethy on Bev. Sam Jones.
Dr. R. L. Abernethy is quoted as say
ing of Rev. Sam. Jones' recent visit to
this city:
During his labors in Wilmington,
Sam. Jones shook the city like an
earthquake, from centre to circumfer
ence. He ran a buzz saw 5 through the
centre of the Cape Fear Club; he scorch
ed and burned the ninety saloons in the
city till the Mayor did not have a case
of violation of the laws to adjust, j He
attacked the dens of infamy in jthe
place till their inmates poured into jthe
meeting, weeping and crying for mercy
like chastised children. He peeled! all
the hide from infidelic dudes "and
dudines till their flesh was as nude as
a peeled orange; and he blowed up
atheism with the dynamite of gospel
truth and logic, till the fragmentary
particles filled the air thick as thistle
downs upon a summer evening's breeze.
A Small Fire.
