N. C. PRKSBVTKHIAXS. -Meeting of the Synod and Sunday School Convention. The Pres,bytertan 1 Sunday-School Convention for the State of North Carolina met at Fayettevillelast week, and was opened with I a sermon ap propriate to the occasion by Rev. William Black, the well-known and ftucccKsftil eynoilical evangelist. Various subjects of interest to Sunday-school workers were discussed bv speakers appointed by the vnodica"l committee. The dcigu of thelctcr national Sunday-School AKsociattoii, its relation to the vaiiotis (Miristiau deiituriiuations, how and i what ex tent the Prcbbyterian Church ought to co-operate, and' Sunday-school or ganization in tht? presbyteries, re ceived special attention. The Synod of North Carolina, tui bracin all the churches in thin State connected with the Southern Presby terian Church, convened at Pavctte ville. The opening sermon was preached by ltev. W. B. Arrowoou, of Laurin burp, who moilerated the laet meeting. There are iu the synod one hundred and forty-nine iiiiuibter nnd licen tiatep, fieventy-thrte candidates for the ministry, threo hundred and thirty-bis churches, more than fwe'.vo hundred ruling elderp, aud one thousand dea cons, and over thirty thousand adult members. " The lafct reports fchow that iu one year there were added to the rolls of itts ehiirches more than twenty-nine hundred, and that the contributions for benevolent causes amouuted to more than two hundred thousand dol lars. This includes pastors' salaries. Besides the Presbyterians uuder the jurisdiction of this body, there are perhaps tlvo thousand, mostly negroes, belonging to the Northern Presbyter ian Church. The synod nnd its component presbyteries- have been j pushing homo missions with great earnestness and success for several years without allow ing the interest' in other benevolent causes beyond '"its bounds to abate. Eighteen thousand dollars is about the average annual contribution to foreign missions. j The synod by an overwhelming ma jority gave its approval to taking the Uuion Theological Seminary to llich moud. The statistical repot t was presented and showed the following facts: Four ministers died during the last year; whole nnmber of Presbyterian minis ters in the State, one hundred and tor-ty-four; number of churches 530; can didates for the ministry 77; commit nicitnts in the State 30,292; contribu tions for all causes S215,20; members nddcil to the church during the last year 2,1)0 1; churches organized 7; evangelists in tho State 15; missiona ries m foreign fields "; number of counties with no , Presbyterian church in them 20. Memorial sketches of the four min isters who died were read, viz: ltev. A. Ij. Crawford, Ilev. T. N. Faucette, Rev. Robert Jku well, D. D., and Rev. J. P. McPherson. Newbern was chosen as the place for the next meeting of the Synod, and November 10, ISUo, as the time. The Drought Not So Had After All. Superintendent Leazar of the peni tent inry said that so far he considered the drought had done no damage at the Stale farms; that it caused cotton to nuituie vhich otherwise would have amounted to nothing;, that farm work, save ploughing-, had gone on uuiuter rmdedly for. week alter week; that never before was so great a ptopot tion of the crops saved in perfect condition; that there was no dew and that work could begin at sunrise in the cotton fields; that in his opinion while the drought in preventing . ploughing is beginning to work injury iu the wes tern port of the State, it has not as yet done damage in the east.

Manufacturers' lie -ord during the pa.-t week. .. ntiuu s to be encouraging. The unusually large crops have placed the farmers in a nior indepen dent position. The Atlanta Exposition is attracting extraordinary interest in all sec tions of the country towards the South; the manufacture of iron continues to be forced by tho extensive demand, and. as tho result, another furnace is preparing to go into blast in West Virginia, wbiltf two additional fur naces arc to be built in the Alabama district. A $73,000 company has beeu formed to construct 200 miles of railroad through on the richest timler and mineral sections of West Virginia. A numler.of important pub lic improvements are Iu progress in Southern cities, and tho general industrial develop ment is indicated by the followiug li-t of new enterprises: A $100,000 tobacco com pan v. a t.iuuery and a $30,000 mining company iu Florida ; a $100,003 cotton mill in Alabama, to be oper ated Ly colored men; a $30,000 grocery com paav, a $23,000 wtste company and water works plant in Georgia: a .ttou mill and a $20,000 water-works plant in MNsisippi; a $500,000 weave mill. $43,000 fence company, $50 000 tobacco com pan v. $10,000 cigar corn ran v ia North Carolina; a tloO.OOO cotton inilf in South Carolina -, an extensive ma chinery pUnt aud flour mill in Tennse. and a f 150,000 eewerage tompanv, a meat packicg ct.n.pKuy. n $100.CX lumber com pany, $15'l,0C0 cottou oil .-ompany and rail road shops in Texas; a $2.5.000 mining e.-m-panv, a large bank an 1 a fn-ight dpct iu Virginia; a $500.000 bridge company, a $20o.. 000 "cotton mill company, and a $20.000 ci! eo-ni'acy it w's Virgiuia.

At a meeting Monday of the jury of highest awards of the Cotton States and International Exposition, at At lanta the following address to the pub lie was adopted". The jury i mado np of the chairmen of nil the special committees on awards, which with Ur. I). C. Gilmau, of tho Johns Hopkins University, as chairman consists of many of the most eminent men in the United States. The address ii us fol lows: Cotton States and Intek nation a n ( Exposition, Atlanta, Ga. S' To the ' t?K of the L'nitf d Stair: Tho undersigned jurors and mem bers of the highest board of award, having vif-ited the principal depart ments of the Atlanta Exposition and having had the advantage of guidance and suggestions from the most -qualified experts, tuiuk it important to communicate our impressions to the public throughout the country by the agency of the newspaper press. In advance of such reports as may be hereafter made to the constituted au thorities, we desire to call attention to the educational value of the Atlanta Exposition, its important relations to industry, and its mnnifold indications of the progress of the useful and lib eral arts. . - But in this brief paper we cau only indicate a few of tho more important significant characteristics: After reference to the instructive government exhibit, the sveoud head is as follows: 2 We admire the civie pride displayed by the citizens of Atlanta, "tho Gate'City of the South." which in thirty years has ri.-an 'from the devastations of lire and sword, p verty aud distress, anil now illustrates ia mauy ways. and especially in this exposition, what may be done for the advanceini-ril of a va.-.t region by the uniou. enterprise, generosity, knowledge and skill ofan unselfish and vol untary body of citizt&is harmoniously or ganized. 4 "- 3 The varied aud inexhaustible, resources of the cotton States, , tlRdr mineral wealth, agricultural products, manufactures and railroads, as well as their systems of educa tion, are well displayed ia many depart ments of the exposition, but especially in tho comprehensive exhibits that have been made ly the States of Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Louisiana aud Arkansas. Section 4 refers to the many ud ml ruble signs of inter-State co-operation and social intercourse. It concludes; In a hlitiou to the buildings of the cotton Slates, those constructed by New York. Pennsylvania. Massachusetts and Illinois, end Ihat id Cali fornia, with its contents, afford additional evidences of this friendly relationship. 5 Women have mado luo.-t important con tributions to this exposition. The Woman's Building, designed by a woman, is entitled, iu the opinion of one of our most highly fpialilled judges, to a phieo m'xt to the high est among all the constructions of Piedmont Park. The illustrations of woman's " work are attractive and suggestive. There is here a rare opportunity to see many original documents and portrait.;. The edu eati nal and charitable work is excellent-, and in all departments of embroidery ami other branches of decorative art the exhibit. of the Woman's Building are unsurpassed. Section 6 refers with favorable commenda tion to the electrical and machinery exhibits, etc., and concludes: The contents oT tho building devoted to mines and forestry is one of the most interesting exhibits, contain ing admirable examples of our natural re sources. Let the observer notice, without fail" a model of the wearing out or erosion of a farm, after the forests were cut down.- and its restoration when the planting of trees bega n v Section 7 asks attention to the exhibits that illustrate the progress of education and science. 8. The advancement of the colored pop ulation in intelligent, i dustry and enter prise is shown t though apart from the edu cational exhibits, not as adequately show n as for, their own sake Ave could wish) in tlm Negro Building, where may be seen the il lustrations of the steps by which au emain i pateil race is advaucjug in freedom, knowl edge, skill and thrift. Every visitor should observe wdth an appreciative spirit, this sug gestive and comprehensive exhibit.; The at titude of the authorities of tho exposition to wrirdsthe colored raw has reeeived wide spread recognition and approbation 0. The exposition affords very striking evidence that the last ten years have been prolillc in inventions for saving time aud economizing the nervoiy force of those w ho WOTK Willi 111"!! frutlu.-. A IS M"ttii ..iti.' fc.. note the general use' of stenography, type writing', long-distance telephone, phonogra phy and other devices which may le called nerve-saving, .time-saving aad life-saving inventions. 10. The iuternal character oT the e. posi tion is not. its principal feature. II v foreign governments, namely, the Argentine,-Republic, Mexico. Costa I'dea. Veney.iieki'iind Chili being , represented by official com missioners. Other countries are represented by the contributions of private exhibitors, w'hieh have added much to the interest of display. -Special mention should le made of Austria, Denmark. France, Germany. Great Britain, Italy, Sweden, and also of lndi.'i. .tapau and China. The .'..ile- tue ex hibits made by the Southern B-iilw;iy and also by the Seaboard Air Line, tin riant System of Florida, bring out in vived out line the advantages of the regions through which these railroads are constructed. U -We earnestly udvi- the teachers of colleges and' s-'hools, nar and remote, to encourage their scholars to come and study this exposition, accompanied by onspct-m guides.. With proper explanations, easily to be secured if a little effort i.- mad , intelli gent youth may learn in a few davs" visit t- this exposition more than would be learned in weeks or months of ordinary study. Manufacturers, merchants, miners, el . are also advi-ed to attend. 12 In conclusion, we efmirrulul.it? tho dire ctors of the Atlanta L xpo.-itiou n tho sucoe.-.. that has attended their effort-, on their public spirit, energy and resolution. We thank the mayor and the citizens of Atlanta for their gnero-.i- hospitality, we declare our opinion that th" State of Geor gia, and the group of cotton States associat ed with Georgia in.tfcis exposition, deserves from every Stnte in the Union recognition, honor aad g atitude.

The State Solicitor Fails to See That They Have Beeu Threatened. r Judge Cable, of tho Superior Court, referred to Solicitor Pou the letter sent to the four Mormon elders in Wake county, notifying them to leave, and which they referred to Governor Carr. . Solicitor Pou pays that unless the Mormons can show conspiracy to force them to leave, he cannot see how the signers of the letter can be prosecuted. As long as tho elders obev the law they are entitled to preach, but any number of citizens may protest against such preaching and inny go so far as to iequc6t the men to leave the com munity, and yet not violate the laws. He has read the paper presented to the Governor, and fails to perceive any threat. He feels that 6o far as the the State is concerned there is nothing to bo done. If any conspiracy is formed, or any injury done the Mormons, he promises them they shail have the same protec tion as any citizen. The solicitor sug gests that the Mormons are unduly sensitive, andthat St. Paul would have hardly taken fright at so slight provo cation. . THE GRAVEYARD 1XSURAXCE. Five True B1113 to Date.

Reafro, who lives four miles south of Saale, Ala., on tb road from Seale to Pitts boro, keeps a small store in front of Lis dwelling. While out picking cotton in a Seli near his store, he was fired upon with a thot-gun by some one in ambush. The mur derer, after leaving Renfro. presumably dead, robbed the store and set are to it. .Iienfro, in ths meantime having regained consciousness, had started to tLe store and was met by the robber and shot again.

Negroes of South Carolina Protest Against the New Election Law. Will Appeal to the Courts. At last the Sjuth Carolina Constitutional Convention, in session at Columbia, has come to the great suffrage problem, and tho debate has been opened on th 3 article on tho suffrage submitted by Senator Tillman's committee. When the article had been read 'at Friday's ss,sion ex-Congressniao T. E. Miller. th-J colored member, took the tloor aud moved to strike out the whole thing. He then be gan an elaborate speech iu lch.ilf of the negro. He made an able argument on his side, and presented the claims of his race in a strong light. After four days' j debate on the arti -le on new counties, the amend moot w as lopted aniLciiucned. Senator Tillman's scheme wa.1 adopted in the following shape: ach of the several town -.hip., id thLi State, with names and bound.-iries. as now established by law, shall constitute a ho ly politic, and corporate, but thi.i shall not pre vent the General Assembly from organising other townships or changing the boundaries of those already established, and cral Assembly may provide sie-h a township government as thev si t!ii Gen system of :iil think proja-r." On Saturday W. J. Whipper, a colored delegate, of Beaufort, addressed the conven tion for two hours.coutendii'g that the negro never had been responsible for the frauds committed iu South Carolina, when they were in power, but that it was the work of designing white men for which the n "groes were not responsible. He declared Ihat tho scheme of disfranchisement before the con vention was gotten. up by designing men for their own interest, 'though it would be passed, the negroes, said Whopper, would light it iu the Supremo Court ol tho United States and in Congress, ;i ml if all thc.-o tailed, before the people of tho country. Whipper was prominent in the days ol negro domination in the State, an t having aa intimate acquaintance with the men who governed the State then, his remarks possessed more interests than they otherwise would. Hi admitted nt the outset that the negro was now the inferior of the v. ini. in in. ow ing to his lack of educational a I vantages and the fact t hat he ha t been free only thirty years. He denied that there ever had beeu nero rule in the State. True, they had a majority iu the convention oi lsijs, aad s;ib sepient legislatures, b it they y.-re bat tU tools of designing wbito men, who directed them as they pleased even wuen they could have elected every oiViccr from constaMo to Governor tho white man ahv.iys had th-j. most offices and no negro was ever a Gover nor, or a Judge or a Sheriff or any oilier higli official. Ho claimed I h it ia ins town of Beaufort, where tho negro ha l a majority of twenty to one of the population they al ways elected a white mayor nnd gave luo whites half the council. Those things showed, tic claimed, that tho bugaboo of negro domination nnd t he deslrue tion of white supremacy were but subter fuges gotten up by designing men vh wish ed to profit politically thereby. He held that tho devotion of the negro to his m;is!er"s family aud interests w hile ho w as away light ing battles to forge more firmly the shackles about his slaves, mado the white people owe him a deep debt of gratitude which would be ill repaid by taking away lrom him his rights. lie said tho negroes intended to sap tho foundations of tho Convention its. -If iu the United States Supreme Court; ami if that failed, lo appeal to Congress; a u I if that failed, to trust to the Mjopic 01 lli c,,iuitiy to com cl the State to give them lie-ir rights, lib was followed by Gen.- llolxo t Smalls, also colored, who made-a short address endors ing Whipper's sentiments. Debate on tho question wit? a Ijo iruej un til Monday. ; HOW BUSINESS STANDS. Textile 3Iauufacturers Disturbed By the Decline In Cotton. Bradslrcet's report for last week says:' The volume of general trade for two weeks has hardly reached expectations and now as sumes the character of between seasons. Wholesale dealers in seasonable staples, such as dry goods, clothing, hats and shoes, re port only a fairly active business, exceptions being at such points as New York, Baltimore, Chicago, Kansas City and Duluth. The total number of failures throughout the United States during the week is 259. against 2S9 for the previous week aud 221, 32'J and 220 for the corresponding weeks in 1894. 1893 and 1892. A noteworthy feature of the week is the revival in demand for pig iron, the upward tendency in quotations of leading cereals, and the" liquidation in the cotton market. Sales of cotton goods have been helped by favorable weather and Eastern as well as Southern mills are well sold up. Wool re mains steady in price, and holders look for an advance. While the bank clearings total this weeji is slill of large proportions, ij 1,1 51. 000,000, it falLi off 1 per cent, from last week, due in part to the check in the volume of general trade, indications of which have leen noted for a fortnight. But this week's clearings are 26 per cent, heavier than in the like week last year. At the South the reaction in the cotton market has made itself felt, dealers at Texas distributing points reporting a temporary check iu the demand. This is true also at Nashville, Jacksonville, Augusta and Savan nah. But at many other points throughout tho South, collections continue good and general trade satisfactory. Textile manufacturers" have len for the moment disturbed rather than helped by the decline in cotton, as It cheeks buying of some fabrics, with lower prices for print cloths, and prospects of lower prices for oth er goods. The demand for worsteds and dress gooils is encouraging, while iu woolen goods the situation does not improve. Al though hides have falbm fully half a ceid at Chicago, and some kinds of leather are low er, rfuotations of boots and shoes do not change and many factories have stopped for a time. Exports for, the week are 40 per cent., and for three weeks 5 jut cent, larger than last vear, but imports were for the week 34 per cent., and for three weeks .30.8 per cent, larger than la.-,t year. Olmously a m-derate movement of securing heck in exports of cotton, would quickly effect chu. ges. A SWINDLE IX ST. LOUIS. City Hall That Has Cost $2,000,000 Will Have to Be Reconstructed. As the committee investigating the work on the partial'y completed St. Louis, Mo., t City Hall proceeds with its labors it finds fresh "evidences of fraud in the cn-tri tion. The iron columns in the main building? have been found to contain bijw holes which ! wre rancpalpH hv fr.in eercr.t -nd raintJ the trusses are insufficient to t.istaiu the weight of the roof : the towers are behaved j to to unable to resist high wind?, ti e tiiingj ! of the roof is defective, and the building 1 without drain iipe or sewer connections In brief, the immense pile of granite. ani Iron, which has already cot the city over 52.000,000, is practically" worthless as an ofi4 eiai ouiiding aca win cave to oa recon structed.
