DR. JNO. M. WELLS Preached Two Very Strong Sermons to Congregation Which Has Recently - Called Him to the Pastorate. The Rev. Jno. M. Wells, Ph. D., whose call to the pastorate of the First Presbyterian Church in this city has several times been noted in these columns, preached two splendid ser mons to large congregations Sunday morning and evening from the pulpit which it is hoped he wilL soon decide to accept permanently. Rev. Dr. Wells at once impresses one with his earnestness, his fluency of speech, bis verv expressive lan guage and engaging manner. He at once gets the undivided attention of bis congregation and . holds it in a marked degree to the end of the ser vice. The congregation was highly pleased with his sermons Sunday and very strong pressure' will i brought to bear upon him to accept the call re cently extended. Sunday evening the subject of his discourse was the Crucifixion, his re marks having been based upon the scriptural text embraced in the thirty third verse of the twenty third chap ter of SL Luke: "And when they had come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, - one on the right hand and the other on the left." His word picture of the scene at Calvary fully equalled that of the artist, whom the speaker declared was at his best when portraying that inci dent in Biblical history, so sacred to the heart of every Christian. Besides being beautifully descriptive, the ser mon contained many lessons of value and consolation admirably brought out and presented in a clear, concise man ner. The morning service was equally as impressive and just as favorable an im pression was made by Dr. Wells as upon the' occasion of the evening ser mon. It is not known when he will announce his decision as to accepting the call, but it is hoped that i I will be in the affirmative. The musical programme was greatly enhanced at the evening service by a voluntary entitled : "Softly No w the Light of Day," rendered with splendid effect by the choir, consisting of Mrs. W. L. Latta, Mr. C. V. Motte, Mr. H. K. Holden and Miss Anna Sprunt, or ganist. BASKET BALL LEAGUE Will Be Organized at aa Early Date Ex hibition Game January 25th.

The Vote Was Close In the Honse,5 to 53Con8titntIopalIty of the Meass're yaesuoned speaker Moore t , Announces Committee. Special Star Telegram. Raleigh, January 14. The bill providing for an increase of the Governor's salary from !$3,000 to $1,000 passed the House at 3 P. M. by a vote of 55 to 53, and is now a law. Spirited discassfon was in pr ogress from 1 o'clock, the bill's constitution ality being the principal bone of con ¬ tention. Hayes and Rolntree were the principal champions of the bill,; and Graham against it, as to its; constitu tionality. Others were opposed on the ground that money was too badly needed to educate poor children so that they would not be disfranchised by the recent constitutional amendment. The-vole was by roll call, and many explained their votes. Willard v6ted against the bill because he believed its enactment would entail the heavy, ex pense of a test law suit on the State to establish its constitutionality. : He Said he favored an indy ease of salary,! but thought it would be a wise plan; to leave such. action for the next Assem bly, i No important bills were introduced in tne House to-day.
