Great Excitement Down on the banks of the Savannah river the negroes are in a fearful state of mind. For a month or so a white man who calls himself Jesus Christ, has been going through the country preaching. The negroes have come to believe in him and have accepted his words as in spired teachings. "Give up everything and follow me," he commanded. "Let your crops go; turn your cattle in the patches ; the Lord will provide for you." And, obeying him, hundreds of ne groes have quit work. Their little crops have grown up with weeds ; the planters have been deserted by their la borers, who absolutely refuse to work ; the turpentine manufacturers and the saw mill men have great difficulty in getting help enough to continue opera tions. The colored population has been demoralized for three weeks. To su' h an extent has the craze spread that the intelligent colored people and the whites joined in discussing some plan to put a stop to it. It was decided to arrest the crank or send him out of the county. Some were ready to lynch clared that he should not be taken away, and that no violence should be doue him. The women were more emphatic than the men, and have armed themselves with guns, but the new prophet told his people not to offer any resistance. They feared that he would be crucified, but he told them that he would not be put to death again. When the officers went to arrest h.m no resistance was offered, but a large crowd soon joined the favored disciples, who are almost constantly about him. j They were ready to tear the officers to peices, but at their prophet s request they suffered him to be taken quietly away. After his arrest he gave the name of Campbell, and said he came from the west He shows scars in his hands, which he says were made by tails when he was crucified on en 1 vary. His hair and beared are long and shag gy, although he evidently endeavors to trim his beard as the Saviour's is represented in some old pictures. The negroes fall down and worship him, and kiss his hands and feet, and annointhim. He dresses shabbily some times, and at all times poorly He re- fuses money publicly, but is said to have money, and it was feared the charge of vagrancy could not be sus tained. At his bidding women have left their husbands and men their fam ilies to follow him. His familiarity with the scripture is exceptional. Ke - j- i I has told the people that he will go back to Heaven in a chariot ot hre at an early date. Why White Was Appointed. Anybody by thinking a minute and putting this and that together might have known all fhe while that White would be appointed collector of the easlern district. He had the game in his own hand lion the moment that he established the fact that one of his wives was kin to some of Mr. Hard son's folks. Under this admiiristra tion the kin all sit at the first table. Statesville Landmark. Smallest Hair Throws a Shadow." N. C, FRIDAY, July 12, 1889. WHAT THE PRESS IS SAYI5G. The second paralytic Stroke stiff- ered by Wilkie Collins probably puts an end to the literary activity ! of a writer thau whom no living author has had a larger audieuce. John Wananiaker says the pres pnr, tMtar.a ?p stainn is t.n laro A smaller size, he says, would answer all purposes and be less expensive to the government, so he will reduce the size. Plant. Paraphrasing the saying of Henry Clay that he would rather be rijljt then President Senator Evarts of New York, is reported as saying that he would rather be fat than be President. It is not at all likely that ! he will ever be either. News and Observer. Our families need to be told more often ''No cross, no crown," If yon want knowledge you muse toil for it: if food, you must toil for it: and if pleasure you must toil for it. Toil is the law Pleasure come through toil and not by self indolence and indul gence. When a man :ets to lovmg his work, his life is a happy one. Morning Light. The city of Raleigh which has for se veral years been more or less agi tated over the liquor question, is now going to try the high license experiment. The cost of a license to sell by retail, which has heretofore been $325, lias been increased to 1725. The working of the system will be watched with interest, for if it is successful in reducing the number of the more objectionable places where liquor has been sold, at the same time that the city's reve nue i3 increased, there is but little doubt that the movement will ex tend. Norfolk Ledger. Oldest Now Living. The Portland Argus says that the death of Simon Cameron leaves James W Bradbury, of Maine, Alp hens Felch, of Michigan, and Jeffer son Davis, of Mississippi, as the old est ex-Senators now living. These gentlemen entered the Senate two years subsequent to Mr. Cameron's election. Mr. Bradbury is now eighty four vears of age; Mr. Davis eighty one and Mr. Felch eighty-three. George W. Jones, of Iowa, was also a member of the Senate of the saii.: Congrass, and stilt survives at the same age as Mr. Felch. The McDow Trial.
