A special from Atlanta says that Mr. Bryan will deliver the first of his series of lectures 111 Atlanta. January 5th. He wil' then go to Nashville, Memphis into Texas, and on North. Mr Comstock declines to eive the remuneration that Mr. Bryan to receive. The Atlanta Consti tution says the report that he was to receive 50,000 for hlty he tares is below the mark. He will jret more than that. The o figure is such a handsome one that Mr. Bryan's many ilisap pointed admirers may take some ronsolation in the fact that be lore the dawn of the coming in niijriir.il dav their defeated but r j . ... not vanquished champion will have earned an amo.uit almost ential to the vearlv salary ot the President of the United States. This amount will place Mr. P.rvan, who is now a poor man, in sufficiently independent cirs cumstances to enable him to de vote his time and labor to the cherished cause of bi-metallism. Deadly Work Dons. The Rev. A. J. Diaz, Biptist missionary of Havana, who was driven from Cuba several months ar. for alleged affiliation with tl: insurgents, was in All rata, onn 1 this week. From friends just back from Cuba, he says: "I wa- told of a second mine fired when the Spanish soidiers were on it only a few days ago. I did not get the exact date, but at the time his men were entrapped and led on to the ground, Geiis er.d Wevier was in the city of Artemisa, and icnew nothing of it until the dynamite had done its deadly work. This mine was set between the Rubi and Caya j .bo mountains by Maceo's elec t ican. After it was all prepared as in the other case, the Cubans, a- d Spaniards engaged in battle. The C ibaus, of course, retreated, and as they did so the Spaniards followed, and when between the two mountains the mines were touched off and the air immedi ately filled with smoke, while the dead and wounded Spaniards and horses flew in every direc tion. My friends stated 5,000 Spanish soldiers were killed and wounded by the explosion." m&& at&L3&. km& fe H'ovlt SEin&s Candy ! You Want the Purest and BEST.

Moffitt was shotand instantly killed by Lee Turner near Pennington's Ferry in Montgomery county, North Carolina, Saturday after noon, at five o'clock. Moffitt, Deputy Marshal, T. J. Hoover and Lee Freeman, all of Ashe- boro, went to Turner's house with a search warrant for blocks ade whiskey, supposed to be there and made at Turner's son's blockade distillery, which they had seized. There seemed to be little provocation for the shoot ing. When Moffitt took from lis pocket the warrant Turner shot him through the heart with shot gun. Freeman caught Moffitt as he fell discovering that le was killed. In the meantime some one shot Lee Turner who died in about an hour. It is not earned who shot Turner. The remains of officer Moffitt were aken to Asheville for interment. A SPLENDID RECORD. Made by the Life Saving Service j the Past Year. The Yeopim Union.

The introduc- ory sermon was preached by Rev. Josiah Elliott from John 14:6. The churches in the Union were more largely represented than usual; only one church out ot the twenty -five composing the Union, failed to send a represen tative. The con ributious sent up were sufficent to pay the missionary indebtedness, and still have enough left to send a good amount to the State Board. There is still a debt of about $33.00 unpaid for money bors rowed by Rev. Josiah Elliott to complete the Rose Bay Baptist Church in Hyde county. At the Union Meeting in December last, at Whiteville Grove, an appoint ment was arranged anions: the various churches sufficiently large to cancel the debt, but some of the churches seem to have taken little or no interest in the matter. Among the visitors to the Union were Prof. Swann from Murfreesboro F. Institute. J. C. Caddell, of the Recorder, and brethren A. Bass and J. Mathews from the Bertie Union. The tiual business was trans acted. A new feature of the Uniou was the election of a Sec retary aud Treasurer. SomeN thing that has not occurred be fore in twenty years or more, ex cept at the death of brother Joseph T. Waff, who served as Secretary and Treasurer for more than a quarter of a century. This action was a surprise to many, as there had been no charge of dereliction of duty al leged against me as the Secretary of the Union. When the real cause was maae Known, it was found to be a political measure; the Democratic pariol the Union being unwilling to longer retain the writer as their Secretary. Rev. W. B. Waff was elected by them as my successor, by the aid of a non-member of the church. Thus we see that poli tics is creeping into the church, and is sanctioned by some minis ters of the gospel. They seem to have forgotten that our fore--. athers fought seven long years, and spiit some of the best blood of the country, in order to secure unlo themselves civil and relig- ous liberty, a heritage left unto their posterity. " " " -; Respectfully, W. FivTQN, Rockajiock, J$. C, The report of Mr. Kimball, the general superintendent cf the life-saving service, for the year ending June 30th, exhibits the most satisfactory results yet ac complished Ly that service. Al though the total number of dis asters was greater than in any prior year, the percentage of lives and property lost was less. 4 At the close of the year the es tablishment comprised 256 sta tious, of which 186 were located on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, fifty-five on the great lakes, four teen on the Pacific coast, and one at the falls of the Ohio, Louiss ville, Kentucky. The number of disasters to documented vess sels within the scope of the ser vice was 437, involving 4,608 1 persons, ot wnom 4, SO 5 were saved and thirteen lost. The es timated value of the vessels was $8,880,140, and of the cargoes, 3,846,380, aggregating a total of $12,726,520. Of this amount $1,432,750 were lost. The num ber of documented vessels totally lost was sixty-seven. There were also during year 243 casualities to undocus mented small crafts, sail boats, row boats, &c. Of the 594 per sons 011 board 587 were saved and seven lost. The value of the property in those casualities is estimated at $1 19,265 of which $1 14,91 5 was saved. The total number of ship? wrecked persons succored at sta tions were 613. The total num ber of days succor afforded was x436- Other persons (on board vessels) to the number of eighty two, were rescued from drown ing, aU of whom would probably have perished but for the vigil ance and prompt assistance of the life saving crews. uuring tne year tne crews saved aud assisted to save 472 vessels, valued, with their car goes, at $4,853,110. Of this number 318 were saved without the outside assistance, aggregat ing, with their cargoes a value of $977,495. with loss of only $11, 713. in the remaining 154 ins stances the life saving crews as sisted of her agencies in saving property valued at $3, 599,77s out of a total of $3,875615 im periled. Less inipqrtari assistance was rendeaed, to 167 other vessels in distress, The patrolmen also warned from danger by their night signals 210 vessels, and b day signals nineteen. The loss of life and property averted in these 329 instances, of course, cannot be estimated, but the cir cumstances under which a large proportion of the warnings were made indicate that it must have been very considerable. The cost of maintaining the service for the year was $4,401,- 80?. Attention is invited to the inadequacy of the compensation of the superintendent of life spy ing districts ajid their crews.

GIVE ME A CALL. Corner Store, near the market. Thomas K. Watson is now en gaged in printing signed edito rials in his People's party paper regarding some of the men who figured in his defeat. Foremost among these he places Senator Marion Butler, of North Carol!- ua, chairman of the i'opuitss National Committee. In one of his editorials Mr. Watson says: "As long as Marion Butler is chairman of the Populist Na tional committee, it will be ut terly impossible to get the real Populists to take any interest in campaign work. 1 liey know him to be a selfish, unprincipled trickster, and nothing he can now do will ever cause them to forget what a liar and traitor he was during the campaign of 1896. "Judged from the Butler standpoint, Populism is a mere article of political merchandise. He is devoid of any sense of hou or. words are to-lum the mere tools in the game of deception. "He does not mind telling the truth provided he loses no point in the game by doing so, nor does he mind telling an untruth, even if it yields him nothing more than the casual pleasure of having deceived. "We harbor no rescntmcut against Butler. It would be un just to do so. When a constitu tional coward runs away from the battlefield all generous men feel a profound sympathy for the victim of a natural defect of character. In the same way wc adjudge Marion Butler. Nature made him what he is, and he cannot help it. "To be fi xy, doubled-faccd, false of tongue ami treacherous at heart is natural to him, and when he betrays those who trust him and deceives those who are silly enough to take him at his word, he has no more sinned against his nature than does our friend, the 'William goat,' when he fights with its horns rather than mouth or feet. "Too much Butler limbers us in the regions of our faith. Too much Butler gives us the inclu nation to look with longing eyes in the direction of the mountains of Hepsidam.

Paul Ladd.awell known colored minister of Bellefountain, Ohio, died Saturday from a strange cause. Several months ago he planted a patch of pota toes. Potato bugs covered the vines and he proceeded to gather them into a pan and burn them, Unortunately, Ladd inhaled some of the fumes, which seem to have been a deadly poison, for at once his lungs became strange ly affected, and he 'sank into a consumptive state, which result ed in his death at an early hour Saturday morning.
