Postal Change.

the office of Postmaster at Pedlar's
Hill, in this county, Mr. James L.
Fields has been appointed as his suc
cessor. Ladies at the Election.
Although the ladies cannot vote
tiicy can exert great influence in in
ducing the men to vote as thev wish,
and the ladies in Albright Township
have resolved to be at the polls on
election day and encourage their sons,
husbands and brothers to vote for
prohibition. It will be a novel scene.
Public School Teachers.
Itev. P. Ii. Law, county superin
tenilentof public instruction, has ex
amined and granted certificates to

J. E. Hoey and J. J. Turner, first

A Woman Lost.
On last Saturday Miss Biddie
Smith, who lives about four miles
.from here, disappeared from home
ind strayed off. Search was at o;ice
instituted, the neighbors all turned
out, and next morning she was found
quietly resting in a pine thicket about
two miles from home. She is very
old nearly eighty and her mind has
become impaired, and she waudered
off without any particular rer,ion.
Mass Meetings.
"We are requested to announce that
Mass Meetings of the citizens of
.Chatham county will be held at the
following times and places, viz :
Gulf, July 28th.
Elmore's SchooMiouse, July 2Sth.
Carter's School-House, July 29th.
Matthews X Roads, July 30th
The ladies are especialy invited to
attend.
At these meetings there will be a
joint discussion by the advocates and
opponents of Prohibition. The peo
ple are invited to ccme out and hear
foth sides.
A Newspaper "Dead-Head".
We have received a circular letter
(and we suppose that every news
pnper in tho State has received a
similar one) from our respected Com
missioner of the Department of Agri
culture, requesting that the REC0h.it
be sent to that office, to wrhich re
quest we must respectfully decline to
accede. We see no reason why this
department should be "dead headed"
by the press of tho State, for it is
better able to pay subscriptions than
publishers are able to send their
papers free.
I III -- HI I ! II II
Surveying the Midland.
Two surveying parties are now
busily engaged in surveying routes
between Salisbury and Goldsboro for
the Midland railway. One of these
parties will reach this place to-morrow,
peing to-day two miles fr6m here. The
other party started from Salisbury,
and will come by Ashboro.' We hope
none of our countymeu will be fright
ened by these sarveyors as was a
Johnston countyman, of whom the
News and Observer tells the follow
ing story :
"A good story is told on a farmer
down in Johnston county. He was,
with his wife, traveling in a buggy to
Goldsboro last week, when he was
startled to see by the roadside some
tents pitched and men in and around
them. He pulled up his horse and
pagerly inquired what was the matter.
He was answered y a wag that there
was another war, and the whole coun
try was in an uprising. Frightene4
out of his wits, the countryman turn
ed to his wife and said: "There, by
gosh ! I told you so. When I seed
that star with a tail to it in the elo
Jnent I was afeared of just ejeh a
thing as war. I knowed it was com
ing. Mary, lets git back home." And
they "got." It turned out that the
people in the tents were a surveying
party of tho North Carolina Midland
Railroad.'
Old Landmark Gone.
On last Tuesday an old negro, of
this place, died whose death is Hke
tho removal of an old landmark. His
name is Robert Hall, but ho was al
ways known as "Doctor Bob." He
was the body-servant of the late Dr.
Isaac Hall, and wag a well known
character in this community.
Rain Storms.
From nearly every portion of the
State we have heard of violent rain
storms during the present summer.
At many places theso storms have
been very destructive to property,
and several persons have been injur
ed and some few killed by lightning.
Quite a heavy storm passed through
this section last Sunday afternoon,
the wind blowing almost a tornado
and overturning fences, trees, &c,
by its violence, but no material dam
age was done. Several trees in this
place were struck by lightning but
fortunately no person was injured.
It rained for two hours quite heavily,
which has greatly refreshed and re
vived all animal creation, and caused
a most delightful change in the tern
peraturo of the atmosphere.
Fancy Ball.
The scholars of Mr. J. A. Renn's
dancing school and others of our
young folks had a grand fancy ball
at the Pennington liotel last night,
that was much enjoyed by all who
had the pleasure of attending it. Yvre
have not tho space to describe the
various costumes, but the characters
represented were the following, viz :
Queen Mab and her attendant Fairy,
the Goddess Diana, Little Bo-Peep,
Maid of the Mist, Spanish lady,
Gypscy, Glee Girl, A Reaper, Jikiud
Muller. Josephine in Pinafore, Fisher
Girl, Italian Fruit-Girl, Dew-Drop,
a Turk, a Cavalier, Sir Walter Raleigh,
a Suilor, a Soldier, a Fireman, a
Jockey, a Gentleman, and a Fop.
Many of these costumes were quite
elaborately gotten up aud the persons
wearing them well sustained the
characters represented by them. It
was a gay and joyous occasion that
will long be pleasantly remembered.
Hope Temperance Society.
"We had the pleasure of attending,
on last Friday, at Love's Creek
Church, the celebration of the sixth
aunivetsary ot Hope Temperance So
ciety. This Society is a branch of
the old Pleasant Hill Society, and
was organized in July, 1875. raid now
numbers between four and five hun
dred members. The attendance on
this occasion was very large, and
everything passed oft 'most pleasantly.
Tho proceed .ngs were opened with
prorcr and reading the Bible bv Rev.
A. D. Cohen. The Secretary, Mr.
W. B. Haidin, then read the consti
tution and regulations of the Society.
The president, Mr. S. J. Tally, an
nounced speeches next in order, and
introduced as the first speaker the
editor of the Record. After him
Rev. A- D. Cohen deliverod on ad
dress, and then a recess was taken
for dinner, of which the greatest
abundanco Lad been provided by the
good people of the neighborhood.
After dinner J. J. Jackson, Esq . was
introduced as next speaker, and up
on the conclusion of his address short
speeches wero made by Messrs. AYil
liam M. Brooks and O. A. Hanner.
The Prohibition Campaign.
The prohibition campaign is waxing
warm in Ciiatbam and much interest
i being aroused on both sides. An
active canvass lias begun and meet
ings are of almost daily occurrence,
and indeed on some days there are
several meetings. On last Saturday
there were three meetings held in
this county. On that day John An
drew Barrett, of Moore county, eime
over to Harper's X Roads to enlight
en the people of that neighborhood
and to expose the evils of prohibition,
but Oran A. Hanner replied to him
so effectually that lie will hardly ven
ture on another sack mission.
On the same da' Rev. T. J. Gattis
and B. I. Howze spoke at Christian
C Lapel, in Cape Fear Township, and
made a most favorable impression in
a community where prohibition has
not been popular. W. T. Gunter, the
leader of the anti-prohibitionists in
that section, attempted a reply to
these gentlemen.
Also on the same day at Chatham
Church, there was speaking by Hon.
John Manning, Rev. Mr. Klapp and
J. A. Womack, Esq., all for prohi
bition. But the " field day " for speaking
was on Tuesday at this place, being
"Tuesday of court-week," when a
large crowd is always here. The first
speaker was Hon. John Manning, who
delivered an address that was elo
quent, forcible and convincing, and
that will no doubt do much good.
Col. John A. McDonald, of Raleigh,
also made a strong speech for prohi
bition. He is well known in Chat
ham as a stalwart republican, and his
speech will have much influence with
his party friends here. We are pleas
ed to know that he will remain and
take an active part in our coun
ty canvass, and he hopes that his
old republican fiiends, especially, will
come out to hear him. He will speak
at the meetings elsewhere published
to bo held in Chatham. After Col.
McDonald's able speech the antirpro
hibitionists called out lustily for their
champion and favorite speaker, West.
Farrell, who mounted the stand and
poured forth a violent tirade of abuse
that did his cause more harm than
good, shocking the decency of the
better class of his friends. If this
negro is the best standard bearer the
anti -prohibitionists of Chatham can
bring forward to espouse their cause
they should certainly be ashamed
both of their cause and their cham
pion ! After hi3 harangue a stirring
speech was made by Rev. William
Holt, a colored preacher of this place,
who gave some most wholesome ad
vice to his colored fiiends.
Inferior Court.
The July term of our Inferior Court
began on last Monday and closed to
day. More business has been dis
posed of than at any previous term,
and a greater number of prisoners
sentenced to the penitentiary than at
any court held here during several
years past. These prisoners are as
signed by law to work on the Cape
Fear & Yadkin Valley Railroad, and
their names and terms of imprison
ment are as follows, viz : Nick Thomp
son, one year; Henderson Cowan, four
years ; Charles Farrish, one year;
Charles Farrar, one year ; Nat
Burns, one year; and Charles Lanier,
two years.
An t i-Proli ibition Resol ut ions.
A meeting of anti prohibitionists
was held in this county, on the 9th
inst., at Johnson's Bridge, and certain
resolutions were adopted which they
have requested us to publish as fol
lows ;
WnERKAR, The Legislature of North
Carolina, that augustjbody, with fall knowl
edge and aforethought, did at its last sea.
(iion enact a law to be ratifiei or rejected
by the people, known as "Prohibition," the
principles of which are at war with justice
and equal rights to the citizens of this
commonwealth, and in our judgment begot
ton by fanatics and brought forth by de
signing politicians, is imperfect in form,
unwise, unjust, as all class legislation has
ever been, and if enforced will tend to
connect Church and State, an event to bo
deplored by all good people everywhere;
and whereas, aid law is in conflict with the
Bill of Rights of our State Constitution ,
section eoveu of which declares that "No
man or set of raeu are eutitled to exclu
sive or separate emoluments, or privi
leges from the community, but in con
sideration of public services," resolved
therefore.
1. That we, citizens of New Hope town
ship, Chatham county, feeling such an act
to be detrimental to the interests of the
Swte, we pledge ourselves to use all honor
able efforts to defeat the same at the. polls
on the 4th of August nest, and ask that
no man stay away from the polls, hat
come and deposit his ballot as freemen
daTO.
2. That in the future we will be on the
alert for fanatics and fanatical measures,
and will sustain no man who has voted, or
who may hereafter vote for or advocate
either directly or indirectly such a law as
the oue in question.
The threat contained in the last
resolution will of course intimidate
no true man from voting as his con
science dictates, but it manifests a
despicable spirit of intolerance. Sure
ly our anti prohibition friends must
be desperate when they thus resort
to threats and try to intimidate vo
ters !
Appeal for Prohibition.
Pittsboko, N. C, July 19, 1881.
To those who composo the nine
congregations to which I have had the
privilege of preaching the gospel dn-
riug the last four years, and to all
others who may be concerned, I ad
dress this letter :
I am not conscious of having fail
ed, at any time, to expose and de
nounce error and wrong sin and
many of you will testify that, as op
portunity has offered, I have declar
ed the whole counsil of God. Aud,
as yon have listened to me respect
fully during all these years, I now
a.'k you to give a few moments'
thought to the earnest words my pen
is about to iDdite. I write as a citi
zen, a lover of humanity, a Christian,
and a minister of our Lord Jesus
ChriRt, and I beg you to hear me,
not for myself, but for the cause I
advocate.
On the first Thursday of August
next, one of the most important
questions that ever came before an
enlightened and free people, if? to be
decided at the baliot-bo?, the issue
of which is to tell for weal or woe up
on fociety, the Church of God, and
tho whole country iu our own life
time, aud possibly, for generations
yet unborn. It is not a partisan
question, the great leaders of both
our political parties have denounced
the effort to make it bo.
the ISSUE.
One has said that this attempt is a
league with hell, and a covenant with
death; another has said it is joining
the devil against prohibition, but this
is a great moral question and when
stripped of a few side issues, which
have no real bearing upon its merits,
it is simply a contest botween right
and wrong, virtue and vice, good and
evil, God on one side and the devil
on the other. It is this, shall the
law of this State any longer keep i!s
strong arm around theso d6ns of
iniquity tho whiskey distillery and
grog shop which for a hundred
years have tempted and led some of
our fathers, husbands, brothers and
sons to financial, physical, moral and
eternal ruin. Shall the three
thousand men, who manufacture and
sell intoxicating liquors, continue to
flaunt their licenses in the face of
the poor helpless drunkard, his suf
fering wife and starving children,
and say to all those, " the voters of
North Carolina gave us the authority
to do this work of sin and Satan:"
or, will we arise in our majesty, in
tho love of our common humanity,
in the strength of right and God, and
now, and forever, wash our hands of
all copartnership in this nefarious
traffic, this accursed evil, upon which
the woe of Heaven itself has so long
rested?
THE TWO SIDES.
I said this is a contest between
good and evil, and a little observa
tion will show you that the advocates
of the respective sides are arranging
themselves accordingly. Opposing
this moral reform, on the side of anti-prohibition
are found all these
three thousand makers and venders
of ardent spirits, these have all rais
ed the cry, " Great is DJana of the
Ephesians, let this goddess alone for
by her we have our gain." In the
same company are many of the vic
tims of intemperance, men so much
in love with strong drink that they
aro governed by appetite instead of
reason, men, who' in madness are
fighting for that which has already
made some of them curse the day in
which they were born, and alas! will
soon bring many of them iuto drunk
ards' graves. There ore. others,
doubtlese, iu the same company,
some through prejudice, some be
cause of their love for office, and
many who have unwittingly been led
by designing men to adopt the cause
of error and sin. And this company
is led by those who curse our Bible,
call God a tyraut, blaspheme the
name of Jesus, and deolare that our
ministers of the gospel have all be
come fanatics, and some of them with
vile oaths attached, affirm that if it
were not for the churches they would
have no trouble in crushing 'this re
form. On the other side, that of prohibi
tion, have already gathered the
purest and best men of all political
parties, the great majority of the
makers and administrators of our
laws, our Legislators and the judges
of our courts, the Governor of our
State, and President of these United
States, the men who educate our
sons and daughters presidents and
teachers in our colleges and high
school?. Need I tell you that all
such men as Drs. Craven, Jones, Bur
well, Hepburn, Pritchard and Battle
are in this company? All our evan
gelical churches as churches, and
nearly all the ministers and repre
sentative men in these churches, (the
primitive Baptist is not evangelical,
but grossly heterodox). In a Dis
trict Conference of the church to
which I belong, held in this town
during lastj week, composed of seven
ty preachers and delegates (about
forty-five befog present) there were
only two not in full sympathy with
prohibition. God grant they may not
be found on the other side fighting
against the cause of truth. And what
is true of my own Church, is in the
main, true of all the other evangeli
cal Churches in our State.
In eloquent and burning words,such
men as Drs. Wilson and Smith, of
Greensboro, Skinner, Barkhead and
Bishop Lyman, of Raleigh, and many
others like them, are pleading for this
cause. In the same company you
will probably find nine tenths of the
virtuous women of our State, mothers,
wives, sisters and daughters, plead
ing for fathers, husbands, brothers,
and sons. Where, I ask, will you be
found on the fourth day of August,
among the rutn-makera and sellers,
who are growing rich off of the hard
earnings of our people, men under
the influence of appetite and those
who would ride into cilice, if possi
ble, over the defeat of this cause ?
Will you join this company against
humanity, right, the church, the
ministry and God himself? Would
that you could see this company pass
in review before you to day, ccmpos
gcI as it is, of whiskey distillers, grog
shop-keepers, drunkards, office-seek-ers,8keptics,
infidels, and atheists.and
the poor misguided ones, who have
been led by falsehood and sophis
try and tho specious cry of liberty, to
swell their ranks. Will you add one
more to their number, give your in
fluence and vote to continue this
curse to North Carolina for a few
years longer ? Or, will you, for the
j sake of your neighbors, your cwn
children, the generations yet unborn,
for the honor of God, in the ad
vancement of the church for the ele
vation and salvation of humanity,
come out on the side of prohibition,
and in the strength of true manhood,
help to rid our good old State of this
disgrace, this legalized sin? Our
work now, and our votes on the day
of election, may help to crowd still
more our poor-houses, puis, and peni
tentiaries, send men to the gallows,
to drunkards' giaves, and down to
hell; or, on the other hand, we may
help to empty our prisons, wipe
away the tears of suffering, hush the
wail of anguish and cause even the
angels to rejoice over those freed
from drunkenness, delivered from
hell, and saved in heaven.
I appeal to you men and women of
North Carolina, friends of humanity,
lovers of the church, yon who feel
your moral responsibilty and are to
be rewarded or punished Recording
to the deeds done in the body, to you
who would meet tho death hour in
peace, nerve yourselves for the fight
and go forth to glorious war, and
let ns ever keep in mind, that we are
engaged in no doubtful issue. The
prospect of immediate success is
bright now and growing brighter
daily, and at most can only be delay
ed a little while.
"Truth crushed to eirth will riae again,
Tho eternal years of God are hers,
Whilo error wounded writhes In pain
And dies amid hor worshippers. "
Success is guaranteed to us in the
Bible. Jesus came to destroy the works
of the devil, and he will accomplish
the objects of his coming. This giant
evil knows and fuels his doom, but
just now he is gathering his strength
and shaking himself for the death
struggle. Let it come; we go forth
to the battlo in the name of our God,
and when it is ended and tho smoke
clears away, we know the enemy will
be seen prostrate and lifeless on the
ground. It is well foius to remem
ber that great moral revolutions
never fail and never go backward to
any great extent, they do ebb some
times, but only for a little season, by-and-by
the on-coming flood over
comes all opposition. So shall it be
in this case, after a while we will,
under God, be free from this demon
which has been a greater curse than
war, pestilence and famine.

State Slews.
Warsaw Brief Mention: We learn
that the house of Mrs. Henry Col
well was destroyed by fire on the 9th
inst. It was evidently accidental,
having probably eaught from a box
of ashes which had been placed the
day before under the house about the
cook room, the fire being at the top
of that part of the house, and all the
floor and sleepers being burned out
beneath. When Mrs. Col well opened
the door of her bed room, the fire
from the adjoining apartment caught
to the furniture, giving them time to
save only a few things from the house,
there was no insurance.
Raleigh News-Observer : A por
tion of Auditor's report has been pre.
pared. The total of State taxes for
1880, as shown by the report, was
$455,086,42. Of this amount we
give the receipts from some sources,
as follows: On land $97,533.42;
town lots $20,762.03; farming utensils
$12,748.55; horses $7,552.22; mules
$5,184,98; money on hand $4,268.49;

A correspondent of the Tarboro
Southerner from Kinston, says: "Last
weok a young man named Pate, came
to town to sell some cattle, and made
himself gloriously drunk, and started
home in the buggy with another
drunken white man and a negro. On
the way, he and the negro agreed to
get down and fight,and in the straggle
the negro stabbed him in the back.
He bled srery freely, but went home,
and during the night put his head out
of a window, and the window fell on
his neck. Unable to help himself out
because druuk, he remaiued there un
til some one awoke and assisted him.
He then sat down, went to sleep, and
was found next morning sitting
against the wall dead."
Reidsville Times: Interest has been
excited in Beidsville, especially among
physicians, who now predict Presi
dent Garfield's certain recovery, by
the fact that Capt, David A. Walker,
an ex-Confederate soldier, who lives
near here, was wounded exactly in
the same place as the President.
Every one of Capt. Walker's symp
toms at the time were precisely the
same as have been developed in the
case of the President. It was afilr
med in Capt. Walker's case, as in the
President's, that he could not possi
bly recover; but after four weeks' con
finement he was able to join his regi
ment, with the bullet still in his
body. The ball has never been ex
tracted. No good Preaching.
No man can do a good job of work,
preach a good sermon, try a law suit
well, doctor a patient, or write a good
