FOURTH BE3SI05.
The committees that had not re
ported were now called upon to do
so, Anion? other things done at
this session was the receiving of the
"Winston Mission as a integral part
of the Synod. Not only is this the
first one received at this meeting
of Synod; but St. Matthews recently
organized at Wilmington was also
received. Rev. G D Bernheim,
formerly of the N. C. Synod but
lately "of the Pennsylvania Synod,
has been called to take charge of it.
The time having arrived for the
addresses cn missions, Synod ad
journed to reassemble at the expi
ration of ten minutes.
Rev. L K Probst made the first
address to which all listened very
attentively. He spoke of the im
poitance of sustaining the missions
which, have already been started
and those which wV.l bo start.
;. v. Iv.itz -poke of the mission f.t
V.'ii.stcn which he is now serving.
Thi.!ivir. he say-', must not be
i e-kcted ; for there are l.GOO young
men in business there, less than
five hundred :of them beins: in tLe
church. Increasing so rapidly is it
does in population, it will be the
greatest mistake of our lives to
neglect this most important point.
Dr. Bernheim'epoke, besides other
things of thelfirst church in Char
lotte ; how iC was built and when.
He pointed with pride to the pres
ent church, which has grown from
a small flock to a large congregation.
Dr B deserves much credit for
labors in behalf of the Lu'heran
church.
Rev. Kimball made a few remarks
on the subject of missions. He
spoke mainly of tne necessity of the
people denying themselves of many
things which they could do without:
so that they might contribute so
much the more to the cause of miss
sions.
Rev. Pr. Bowman, one of the
most noted pulpit orators of the
South was called upon by different
ones to make a talk oa the subj tt
of missions. Christ, be says, was
the first missionary on earth and
has given us an example which all
should follow. Sin depreciates the
value of property, which Pr. Bows
man clearly proved ; therefore, let
more churches and missions be es
tablished that the value of things
may be increased.
This closed the fourth session.

This cold, durabl? granite is

memory of those among the bravest.
These fell in the defense of a cause
they believed right, therefore otter

and its symmetry and its durability
is but a slight token of how the
Confederates' devotion is appre

th m will be petpetuated through
generations yet to come of Southern
blood and Southern kin.
This shaf t is at the base 0x5 ft.,
10 feet high above the level of the
ground. It weighs 23,000 pounds
and built of eight different pieces
It3 entire cost is $900.
The above is a true likeness of the
beautiful monument, though failing
to show the beauty of the granite.
It stands about 50 feet from the
northwest corner of the court house
and in a conspicuous place.
There are two inscriptions. One

Not one man in 500 could have

much.
The Standard verily believes that
had he not lived it would have been

loved ones, who fought and died as
patriots.

R.CI BAYS INTRODUCTION 01' Sl'EA
KEIi. Mr. President, Ladies and
Gextlgnen: It was fondly hoped
that nothing would occur to disturb
the peace and harmony of this mem
orable hour.
But we are now apprehensive that
our hopes are to be disappointed.
One gentleman has already been
caned, in your very presence, and
we think he deserved it. With this
as a beginning, what may we not ex
pect before the exercises close?
But I am not to detain you with a
speech, but am simply to present to
you the orator on the occasion.
An occasion which must hence
forth be memorable in the history
of your county the unveiling of a
monument in memory of the Con
federate dead.
The memorial association is to be
congratulated upon its success in
this noble enterprise.
That marble shaft yonder is the
exponent ot your devotion to the
chivolous men, who once wore
the giay, and it shall continue
to publish the story of their hero
ism when the last of the gray-clad
warriors has passed away.
But sir I must not pause to dis
cuss the merits of either the living
or the dead, more than to say, that
BARB.
the gentleman whom I am now to
present to you needs no commen
dations from the lips of a stranger,
for he is in the midst of his own
people, and is a gentleman whom
you all know; and whose name is
familiar to all North Carolinians
from Cherocbue to the Pamlico
sound, and from the Virginia line
to the yellow waters of the great
Petdee.
A man who was not afraid of
bombs and bullets in times of war,
and a man who ha3 never swerved
from the past of duty in times of
peace.
I am to introduce a gentleman
who entered the Confederate army
at the beginning of the war, and
surrendered at the famous Appomat
tox with Lee and his Tatriotic army.
Then in the years which followed
year3 of tyranny and oppression, his
voice was heard in behalf of N. C.
her people and her institutions.
Such is the character of the gen
tleman, whom I now introduce to
you in the person of Maj. W M Rob
ins, of Statesville, N C, who wiil
now address you.
MAJ. BOBBINS' SPEECH.
The Standard's representative, in
the immense throng of people, could
not even take notes. Maj. Bobbins'
speech was elegant, earnest and great,
lie dealt with the issues that lead
to the war and told of the part
Southern sons, and North Carolini
ans in particular, tookin that affair
We regret that we can not give fur
ther notice.
After the ceremony of unveiling
the vast throng of people marched
to the old (Presbyterian) cemetery
and bedecked with choicest flowers
the graves of the Confederate sol
die i s and we s'.op here to say that a
few Federal soldiers buried here
were not forgotten their graveB,
were decorated too.
Tiny then marched to the Luth
eran cemetery and decorated the
graves of fallen Confederates that
were buried there.
Then the few Confederates buiied
at the Union cemetery were remem
bered.
It was a grand sight. All ages
vied with each other in tender par
ticipation in these exercises.
The monument is here it will
stand the heat of summer and the
cold of winter but more lasting will
be the memory of the parties, the
Confederate soldiers, who gave up
their lives for a cause they espous
ed. Let the children of confederates
never be guilty of failing to learn
of the deeds, heroic, brave, patriotic
and sacriGcins:, recorded to their
memory forever.
Some Note J.
Some interesting relics were to be
seen in the ceremony. Col. T. H.
Robinson, of Poplar Tent, wore the
sword of Gen. Longstrect this
was presented to Col. Robinson by
the ladies- of Oxford. Miss. Little
Allen Gibson wore the scarf and
stars and bars of his great uncle,
Gen. Magrnder.
N P Correll with his fife, Daiiel
Correll with his base drum, and
Jacob Correll with hi3 kettle drum
played "The Girl I Left Behind."
This was a delightful feature of the
programme.
Probably 3000 people from the
counties, Mecklenburg, Union, Row
an, Stanly, Iredell and Montgomery
counties were in town for the exer-
jses- The crowd wa3 estimated at
i,000 but that was too high.
StKAI'S GATHERED AKOlD OR-
CiAX.
Most of our farmers are through
planting.
In some sections of our county
the farmers are quitting cotton and
substituting broom-corn, peanuts,
onions etc. We do not think it
wise for farmers to abandon a crop
they understand so well as cotton to
experiment with those they know
nothing about. Cotton is, and al
ways will be the crop for southern
farmers, and when proper manage
ment in cultivation, marketing etc.,
exercised there will be some profit
in its production. We believe ifc
necessary to cut down the acreage a3
our tarmers have doue but do not
belive in abandoning cotton.
Mr. Wade Drake is seriously ill,
has heart trouble.
We had the pleasure of attending
the N. C, Synod which convened at
St. Tauls' church. Rev, S Rothrock
D. P. stated while there, that fifty
nine years ago he joined the N. C.
Svnod at that place. He further
said he is the only minister living
that belonged to the synod at that
time.
Wm. Beaver is done planting, he
manured everything he planted and
has sonie manure left, that is not
saying he planted less, but that he
manured more. Mr. Beaver alwavs
raises lots of potatoes, so he can find
use for his manure after a while.

New York World.
Enochville, April 20. Sixteen
miles south of Salisbury, in Rowan
County, N. C, is situated the little
village of Enochville. Its name was
taken from a Lutheran church call
ed St.Enoch. There are eighte
white families in thi3 village and two
colored families. These are indus
trious, honest people, but have ways
peculiarly their own. They believe
strictly in walking in the ways their
fathers trod, which has passed into
a joke.
Enochville is an old German and
Butch settlement, and Pntch habits
cling to people, most of the older
members of whom speak very broken
English. Persons going to this
village must be initiated into their
aiivuv ii v 111 to a nil C'Vdiu&
Scarcely any household articles are
called by their real German or real
English names. They have chang
ed even their own names, and fresh
arrivals frcm Germany or Holland
would not understand their lan
guage, which is so peculiarly their
own. Their proper names are Rider
hour, Coughenhour, Eisenhour,
Laughenhour, Probst, Tost, Clod-
feiter, Foutz, Eddleman, Winecoff,
etc. Their given names arc the or.
dinary run of Mary, WTilliam and
John.
They express themselves in this
wise: A man going to Concord or
Salisbury says :
"I want to get back till dinner to
morrow." Ask any of them if they
have seen the bride. They will say,
"Oh yes: I've eaten some of the
cake yit." And, "I have been to
shows before now a'redy." I have
in mind a young man who has re
ceived first grade certificate in four
counties, and he says : "I have saw,"
and "If you don't take your buggy
robe in you'll be lossin it directly."
This same young man rides and
drives pretty horses, dresses well, and
his nectie of the latest tint.
The people of Enochville cook in
old Putch ovens, they clean them out
with a long pole with wet cloths cn
the end. Thi3 pole the old people
call huttlewusch ; the young ones
huttler. Pried apples are called
scnitts, from the German schnitts.
These ovens bake pies beautifully,
and this is verily a land of pies
pies for breakfast, dinner and supper.
It is no unusual thing to find five or
six different kind of pies on the ta
ble of the poorest people. These
people have plenty to eat, and they
enjoy it, but they prepare some rare
dishes. Pried fruit of any kind is
boiled with meat ; pastry with cab"
bage dumplings they call it. Cof
fee is made in this way : Some cof
fee is put into the pot, which is filled
np with water and allowed to boil
while the rest of the meal i3 in
preparation. Next day they put in
more coffee and more water and boil
again, and so continue until the pot
is about as heavy as lead, when
emptying takes place, and the pro
cess is renewed.
Everybody doe3 manual labor, and
the women work in the fields with
the men. It is a common sight to
see women ploughing and binding
wheat, or splitting rails, cr hoeing,
or hauling wood. The girls fre
quently marry at about 14 years of
age, and one such tell3 this story:
She takes her baby to the woods,
piles up a sort of pen of chips about
it, and cuts four cords of wood a day,
besides cooking the meali. This
woman has seven or eight children ;
her husband is well to do, having
horses wagons, etc.
The men have labor-saving ma
chines, such as horse rakes, mowing
and reaping machines, wheat drills,
and feed cutters ; the women also
have sewing machines and cooking
stoves. It is a hard place for women ;
they have no housekeepers. One
young woman just 21 years of age
ha? been since the age of 11 doing
the washing, scouring, ironing and
sewing for a family of seven. When
she tells her father .she is indisposed
and wishes for help, he replies she
ha3 nothing to do but to sit around
the house all day.
They pride themselves upon their
Jersey stock of cows. Mr. Deal
milks twenty Jersey cows, has large
barns, water supplied by a windmill,
several farms, a store, grist and saw
mills, and a cotton gin, and his wife
aud mother go bare footed in the
summer. In dress they are up to
the latest styles, have silks, feathers,
and gold-headed umbrellas, all far

Sunday. There are fifteen organs

a land of corn whiskey and apple
brandy, and Uncle Sam is often
cheated. A young man above the
average went to see his best girl, anil
hid his bottle ot whiskey under the
doorstep. The dog found the trea3
ure, and barked so furiously that;
the old man, going out to quiet him,
found the bottle, and the young man
had to "fess np."
A party of young people went on
a picnic ; a servant carried the lunch
and was also to provide something;
to drink; this he concealed in tha
woods near the horses, which werQ
tied out of sight. The servant wa
instructed to call for the men when
the lunch was ready, and tell them
the horses had broken loose. All
the men went rushing after the
horses excepting one or two, ivho
from politeness remained with the
ladies. This was their ruse to get a
drink.
Juvenile Saicncily.
The new baby had proved itself
the possessor of extraordinary vocal
powers, and had exercised them,

day he said to his mother: "Ma, my
little borther came from Heaven,
didn't he ?" "Yes dear." Johnny
was silent for sometime, and then he
went on, "Say ma?" '-What is it
Johnny ?" "I don't blame the an

New York, May 2. A special to
the Herald from Washington says
Congressman Cummings thought he
detected a masher at work yesterday,
and taught him the dangers of mash
ing. Mr. Cummings and his wife,
with a party of ladies and gentle
men, were coming up from Marshall
hall on board the "McAllister." A
tall, handsome gentleman sat oppo
site the group, and Mr. Cummings
soon made up his mind that the
stranger was trying to ilirt with sonie
of his party. After standing it as
long as he coulu, the. New York
representative jumped to his feet,
and exclaiming: "those ladies, sir,
are respectable," struck the stranger
a terrible blow on the side of the
face. Mr. Cummings struck the
man a second time, when the frienda
of both separated them.
The stranger refused to give hi3
name, but he swore he would have
vengeance. One of his friends said
Mr. Cummings would receive a chal
lenge, and if he refused to Gght a
duel he would be horse-whipped on
the public streets.
The aggrieved man's companions
assert that Mr. Cumming3 was al-
together too hasty, and that the man
he attacked was a gentleman, who
had no idea of insulting any of the
ladies who were with the represents
tive. They say he was simply ad
miring one of the ladies in a respect
able manner.
Up to midnight last night Mr.
Cummings, according to hi3 friends,
had received no challenge, and
while they laugh at the idea of one
being sent, they are much troubled
over the outcome of the affair.
