ELIZABETH CITY, November 12, 1S9; The crop of A Steady Civil War pen Increase. ..sioncrs is one that never fails. Commissioner Evans reports an increase of 5,000 for 1 896, thirty years after the last gun was fired ! Justice Walter Clark estimates that there are 40,000,000 direct descendants from William the Conqueror : the pensioners give promise of increasing at the same ratio, unless another war begins a new family, or the yellow fever goes north. That every one Weyler's rejoiced when Recall. Captain-General Weyler was re called, is sufficient evidence that he was an able commander, tho severe and cruel. His policy has been parallel to that of Gen. Grant during our Civil War the same conservative move ments, ever toward the goal ; the same stubborn tenacity that never knew defeat ; and the same overwhelming numbers have forced the patriots further and further from victory. Spain is too fond of "swapping horses hi mid-stream," and ex-Minister Taylor says this last swap means free Cuba before next summer. When Senator Railroad Russell andGov. Passes. Utttler (note the iuterchanga b 1 e titles) confessed the awful sin of riding on railroad passes, we .were not greatly surprised ; but when it was charged that good old Father Worth had fallen from grace, we did not, we could not, believe it. lint, alas, it is too true ! He confesses guilt, but. pleads that the passes were given him as chairman of the North Carolina Railroad. It is said that one-fourth of the passcngeis ride on passes ; indthe- strangest part of the story is that those who are cry ing loudest against the whole business ride free over every load in the state. At least let ns be consistent. The railroads undoubtedly have the right to extend courtesies to whomever they choose, so long as these courtesies do not . unduly influ ence legislation or the courts ; but when ninetenths of our state officers, judges, solicitors, legislators, and minor officials ride free, "courtesies" belies its name. Away, with the whole miserable business ! Let every man pay his fare, and then talk with a clear conscience of reduc tion of passenger rates. We note with College pleasure that Journalism, the old Univer sity Magazine is to be revived, with our young townsman, Mr. S. S. Lamb, as editor-in-chief. Since '92 our University, to its dishonor, has had no literary monthly, partly on account of financial troubles, and partly on. account of lack of undergraduate interest. All this time the Trinity Archive Wake Forest Student, and Davidson MontJUy, have been making steady improvement, until they are now very creditable publica tions indeed. Time was, and it has not been many years ago, when a college magazine was interesting enly to students and alumni ; but now articles of real merit frequentiv claim the atteu tion of literati in general. . Often highly colored passages, and ex travagaut editorials are pub. Mshed, but they, are to be winked at as the natural effervescence of youth. Under Mr. Lamb's management we may expect the 'Varsity Magazine fo be equally good as the other college month lies. Since young Football. Von Gammon was killed in the Georgia-Virginia football game, accidents have been unusually frequent, calling for pr-:-?ts against Uc g -- I:Gm ail l,arts of the country. In Pittsburg alone, on last 'Saturday, two young men were fatally wounded while three others received, to use lootbal! parlance, "slight injuries" that is, had bones fractured. That iootball is a manly sport is true enough in the sense that no woman plays ; and it is also true that the game has many elements of good in it, but they are hid by brutal fea tures. Give us the old rough-aiid-iumble name, with all its fun and laughter or the brutal ily should be stopped. The Georgia Legislature is consider ing a bill to make the playing o football a misdemeanor ; and, wonderful to tell, Mrs. Gammon, the mother of the murdered player, opposes it. It is a mat ter for college Faculties, parents and participants to decide, how ever, not the law. Of our lars ger colleges, Chapel Hill alone continues to play inter collegi ate games. Vanderbilt has just beat our 'Varsity 31 to o, the usual score ; and if our boys do not improve in their playing they should oe kept at home and taught "push-pins." Yellow Jack Killed. Cascarets.

Complaint is made that so few newspapers have published the President's Thanksgiving pro clamation, and it may be that it is out of consideration of the President that they have omitted to do so. Who knows ? How ever, the Raleigh News and Observer comes forward with the proposition that "it ought to have been published it only to show how full of false states ments it is. The President de clares that during the past year "industry has prospered, the condition of labor has improved, the rewards of the husbandman have been increased and the comforts of our homes multU plied." The present year has wit nessed the most gigantic labor strike of a decade; laborers have been in enforced idlness; five cent cotton has denied ordinary co:ulorts; the public revenue has been much below the outgo; and no enterprise has felt the baud of real prosperity except the trusts. The proclamation, which was written doubtless with a view to influencing the Ohio election, is iu execrable taste. The Pres ident goes 011 to say "that we have seen all'sections of our be, loved country brought into closer bonds of fraternal regard and generous co-operation." Un fortunately, as our contempo rary asserts, this is not true Crowding offices with unaccept able and incompetent negroes is the only evidence that Mr. Mc Kinley has shown that he rec ognized the South at all, except as a source from which to draw money for pensions, and to help enrich the trusts. "Fiaternal iegard" is not promoted by such methods. Iu spite, however, of Mr. Mcs Kinley's buncombe proclama tion, the people' will observe Thanksgiving with gratitude to God for His goodness and mercy. They will not fail also to give thanks for the evidence of last Tuesday that the people are tired of a government by trusts and monopolists and hypocrites. Virginian.

The boiler of the locomotive on the lodging railway of W. H. Coftield in this county, exploded on Monday morning last, killing the engineer, James Mitchell, and seriously injuring the fire man and one of the train hands. It is supposed the accident re sulted from the engineer letting the water get too low in the boiler and turning cold water ui. The force of the explosion was tremendous; throwing the boiler a great distance directly ahead and the tender back upon the cars. The injured men are some better and the chances are that they will recover. The re mains of the engineer were bur ied Tuesday. The Broad street Methodist church was the scene of a love ly marriage on Thursday night, when Mr. 1,. M.

Alter themarriage the friends repaired to the home of the bride's parents, where an el egant reception was held. The bride is the pretty and accom plished daughter of Capt.

The groom is one of the most popular young men of our town, is Lieutenant of the Ed enton Light Infantry, which company attended the marriage in full uniform. asy to Take asy to Operate Are features peculiar to Rood's Pills.

She has two sisters already there that will be glad to welcome her. Miss Mollie Frostfof Berkley, came out last week to spend the balance of the year with her cousin, Miss Maggie Mercer, but on Monday was called home by telegram to the bedside of her sick father. Mrs. Martha L. Flora accom panied her little daughter on her way to Oxford as far as Norfolk, Monday. The child was delighted to go, but it was harp for the mother to part with her youngest. Tuesday a volunteer crowd of our villagers, composed of doc tors, merchants, preachers and whosoever would, turned out and graded one of the village streets leading from the main county road to the railroad sta tion. Those that did the work deserve much credit, as the street in the winter time for several years has been almost impassible. It' will now be a credit to the community and a blessing to the village. C. Many people, when a little constipat ed, make the mistake of usiujr saline or other drastic purgatives.

Cotton goes down ! down ! ! down ! N We hope it will rise again in price, as our people are almost entirely dependent upon their cotton crop. The "sanctified" chairman of the Board of Commissioners for this county, has resigned. The appointment of his successor will be made, we suppose, bv the Clerk of the Court. We hope he will make a wise choice. Mr. Charles Morgan, of IS. City, visited our village last week tor the purpose of photo graphing the Baptist church. Dr. . . D.

She has been greatly missed, and all will gladly wcN come her. The last meeting of the Dyke Builders for tlm contereuce year was held Sunday last. The "pyramids" weie called in at this meeting by the pastor. Miss Georgia Harrison presented the highest amount and deserves lots of praise, as she had her pyramids such a short time. The report of the Treasurer was far beyond expectation. L. "Turn the rascals nut"- the familiar party-cry-Miiay be applied to microbes as well as to men. The serins of disease that lurk iu the blood are "turned out" by Ayer's Sarsaparilla as effectually as the old postmasters are displaced by a new administration. DR. W. S. PENICK. From the Shreveport (La.) Times we clip the following: Sunday night the Presbyte rian and Methodist churches of this city were closed. The oc casion was one of farewell ser vices by Dr. W. S. Peuick in closing his pastorate of tlu First Baptist church, after twelve and a half years ministrations to the needs of the members. The i-oomy edifice was packed with a large concourse of people, ev ery available space being occu pied. Here were congregated Roman Catholics, Episcopali ans, Methodists, Presbyterians and Hebrews, besides hundreds of no professed faith. It was an outpouring of christians aud sinners as a testimonial , of ess feem and good will to the diss tiuguished divine. As Dr. Peuick entered the church from his study, he was accompanied by Dr. Wr. II . La Pra'Je, the eloquent Methodist divine, who took a seat on the left of the preacher, behind the pulpit, and Dr. M. Van Lear, the venerable aud learned teach er ot the Presbyterian faith, who sat on his right. The services were opened with the Doxology followed by a solo sung by Mrs. Julia G. Parker iu her clear, sweet, full soprano voice. The reading of the scriptures by Dr. W. S. Peuick, denoted how full of emotion was his heart Singing "Nearer, My God, to Thee" was followed by the text II Corinthians, last four verses of last chapter. He failed to preach. He talked in broken sentences to the people of his pastorate, its incidents, its joys and sorrows. He touch ingly and "almost exultingly paid trib ute to the ever increasing broth erhood of man as shown in the closer unity of christians of all denominations thus exhibiting unity as to faith beyond and outride of doctrinal creeds. In trembling aud broken acs cents he spoke his farewell words to the people, and to the resN dent ministers present, and fol lowed the word "farewell" with the benediction. Drs. LaPrade and Van I .ear responded in short addresses conformatory of the spirit of christian unity p.r vading this community, evincing in the solemnity and pathos and eloquence of their words, ihe deep current of feeling tha swept over their souls Another hymn and solo by Mrs. Parker closed the religious services, and then, as a deep hush fell on the vast throng the choir, in softest melody, of voices and organ, broke forth in the familiar i..elody: "God be With You, 'till we meet Again." Streaming eyes and stifled sobs ; betokened how hearts were stir- j red with a deep and unutterable j emotion, save in tears among the people. The benediction was pro nounced aud the people gathered about the pastor to bid him farewell Tor a time. Seldom, if ever, has such a leave taking been witnessed in this city. It was the ebullition of a popular sentiment ot esteem that lew ministers have elicited and must h ive been a balm 10 the saddened heart by this occasion. kicsom'tions of kstkkm. At the morning services the following appropriate resolu tions were adopted: Shreveport, La., Ozi. 24. After services by the pastor, the following was introduced by Bro. Geo. A. Turner and the same was un.inimously adopted by the church: "After a long, useful audi pleasant union, as pastor and members ol the First Baptist j church, it seetneth that the will ' of Him, who doeth all things well, that our beloved friend" and brother, Dr. Penick, should ! sever his relatior with us as pasJ tor. j We have always found him ready for any work that had a tendency to upbuild and ad vance the spiritual welfare of our church and community; al ways willing, faithful and earn est in anministeriug to the wants of the distressed aud suffering; he wept when they wept, our sorrow was his sorrow, our joy Was his joy. Bro. Pen'ck's Jriends are le gion, both in and out of the church and he is highly es teemed and greatly respected bv all classes of our citizens. Now therefoie, Be it resolved, that we. as a church feel that we lose a firm friend and pastor, aud part with sad hearts, humbly submitting to our Heavenly Father's will praying God's richest blessings may rest on him and his family iu their new home."
