IN GRAHAM COUNTY.
Dr.
Mowerton Gives an Idea of the
Church Work There
Dr.. Howerton interested his congre
gation last night with a report of the
church s work in Graham county,
where he has lately held a ten days'
meeting. After a good discription of
the beautiful and picturesque features
of the county, it being hemmed in on
all sides by mountains, one point of the
Balsom being the largest point east
of the Mississippi, except Mt. Mitchell,
he gave a very interesting account of
the work now being done by Mecklen
burg Presbytery through its evangel
ist, Mr. Vaughn.
He deplores the low state of morals
and need of religious betterment, but
says, with emphasis, that that there is
nothing there so bad, that he could not
find a parallel for it in this city with
so many churches and Christian peo
ple to give out the light.
He reports Mr. Vaughn as being pre
eminently suited for the work. His
earnestness and zeal have secured the
hearts and confidence of the people and
to a great extent, they hear him gladly:
He predicts that Mr. Vaughn will be
Bishop of Graham county. Dr. Hower
ton appealed to his people to take re
newed interest in this part of their
work.
ALF BOST IN TROUBLE.
Bound Over to Court Charged With
Perjury.
Alf. Bost, the colored base ball play
er, was before Acting Recorder Hil
ton this morning, charged with beating
his -wife. It seems that Alf. got wind
of the fact that the police were after
him and for fear they would nab him,
he went to a magistrate and submitted.
The magistrate gave him a receipt for
$1 and when he came before the city
court this morning, he produced this
receipt. The question then arose as to
whether the case had been heard before
the magistrate before the receipt was
given. Alf., at first, claimed that it had,
and afterwards admitted that no evi
dence had been adduced at the time the
receipt was given him. For this faulty
memory Alf. will have to go before the
next session of the Superior court and
answer to the charge of perjury. Act
ing Recorder Hilton held Bost in a $50
bond. He went to jail.
