A High in Jail. -
Dr. Reed, Messrs. Quint Smith,
Prof. Keesler, J P Query, John Bost
and W M Stuart were confined in
the Cabarrus county jiil last night
to await the approach of an angry
mob. The undaunted courage of
the young men as they rallied to the
assistance of the determined sheriff,
is deserving of great praise, for there
in that gloomy prison with all its
forbidding aspects, these bold men
steod shoulder to shoulder, expect
ing momentarily the midnight at
tach which would bring death and
disaster to all. But as the minutes
and hours rolled on and the wee
small hours of the night approached
no signs of brewing trouble startled
those listening ears, but in siiesce
these men waited what might be in
evitable. But soon dawn, in all its
glory Bhed over the silent prison the
rays of the morning snn, and from
the silent corridors, these men, with
slow and steady tread, left the scene
of anticipated blood shed and riot

Prettident K11k Opposes Foetball
While II is Predecessor Introduced

The position President Kilgo, of
Trinity College, has taken on foot
ball, is stroDgly combated by the
advocates of this great American
sport.
A prominent gentleman who haB
had a deal of experience with college
boye, and who is in the city for a
few days, said yesterday:
"I notice that jou quote what
Dr. Kilgo says against football. It
is fair to state that Trinity 'College
introduced through its president, Dr.
Cro we'll, modern football in this
State. And Dr. Crowell was re.
peatedly endorsed by his trustees
aud great regrets -expressed at his
resignation. 'Doctors differ.'
"As to the dangers of the game
let me make some suggestions
Many lives are lost among bathers.
Should bathing be abolished? Peo

buggies, limbs broken and lives lost.
Should buggyriding be abolished?
Two Sunday school scholars were
killed by their teacher? (Durrani).
Should Sunday schools be abolished?
Children fall out of trees. Shall
tree climbing be stopped, etc., etc.
"That there ii little real danger
in foo ball is proyed by the fact
that the game goes on in all the col

towns, villages and cities every day

Why DiU He Marry So noon?
What right has the church over
the marital relations of a preacher?
is a question that is troubling the
Virginia Methodist Conference.
Froai the debate, which we publish
below, it lipped that a young
Methodist preacher has shocked
some of the older brethren by get
ting married within two months
after haying joined the Conference:
The debate was t.3 follows;
When the seme cf Rev. T'lomus
E Johnson, of Rappahsnuock, wa3
reached, quite a warm and unusual
discussion arose. Mr. Johnson re
ceived his itinerant orders jast a
ye-ir ago, and in two or three months
was married. Dr. Whitehead brought
the matter to the attention of the
conference, 83jicg that it was a
serious matter for a young man to
eater the ministry in that way, and
immediately afterward take upon
himself an additional burden and
expense. Tne doctor thought Mr.
Johnson should be called upm by
the conference to explain w hy lie
married so soon after entering the
ministerial work. Dr. Whi-.ebead
said he had heard of a m :n's taking
a wife unto himself w thin a year
under such circumstances, but that
th 8 case v,as very unusual. Nothr
ing of the kind htd occurred before
in the hisiory of the Virginia Con
ference. Presidicg E:der Watts, of Mr.
Johnson's distric, defended the
voting prea"hor, eit'ut that he should
not be held accountable to the c:n-fereuc-j
for.hu marriav.
Dr. Petersen said bis Brother
Whitehead h.d rervod in that con
ference a long time, &nd had hud
much experience ia such matters.
iYiAiiv o-ner ench iustauife, said Dr.
Peterson, bud arisen, mid be t!:oi?gb!
it as strange that Dr. Whitehead
had not previously taken tha etttnd
he had.
"ldeuy that," eaid Dr. White
head, somewhat warmly, adding that
a man neier came into, the confer
ence as a single man aud married
within two or three mouths. He
thought Mr. Johnson should at
.east make an explanation of his
conduct.
Dr. Peterson replied ty saving
that the conference was wasting
time in talking about a ase when
all the talking in creation couldn't
change the facts or make the man
aoytuing other than a manied mau.
Rev. Dr. Clarke referred to
Shukeeneare's maxim 'Loye is a
piece of uaanity," and in'unaied
that when one of Cupid's darts
pierced a youog man, he would nM
stand upon whether or not he was ja
minister of the uospel or an ordinary
citizen. . "
JW. Dr. Tillett said he thought
Dr. Whitehead had entirely misled
the point in this cas . Ir. was, he
went on, whether or not Mr. John
son's dnties as itinerant worker of
the conference had been interfered
with. ., As the young preacher in
quest'on was not present, his Pre
siding Elder spoke for him, saying
that Mr. Johnson had done faithfnl
and efficient work, acd had himself
borne the additional expense neces
sary on account of h s marriage. The
Presiding Elder though, that the
young cs&a would be abie to render
just as good service to the church in
future, and Mr. Johnson , wis con-,
tinned as a candidate for. deaconate

The people of North Carolina

has--just past. The earth has
brought forth abundantly of the
food products in response to our la
bors, the prices of raw materials
have advanced, industrial progress
has been awakened in our midst and
the future look brighter than the
past few years of disaster and want.
Our people should be thankful

I earnestly request every citizen
of this great Commonwealth to lay
aside his usual business, assemble
either at the churches or around the
hreside, and make tHs annual fes
tival a day of prayer and thanksgiv
ing. Let not the day be devoted to
amusements, but with grateful
hearts . give praise to God for the
preservation of our liberties and
for the- advancement of our nation
in prosperity and greatness.
This State has ever been the home
of freedom and the abiding-place of
a virtuous and noble people- Let
the day not pass without acknowl
edgment of all these blessings; and
let us remember in our prayers and
offerings the charitable institutions
of the Etate, tha wounded and
needy soldier, the orphan, tho poor
and afflicted, mid, by substantial
sivi g, show forth the that-kfulness
of our hearts.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto
F.et my hand and caused th

Ten Cent Cotton.
Two gentlemen, passengers on the

engaged in an intereBing discussion
when the train stopped here.
They were talking of cotton and
the possibilities of its reaching ten
cents before next year. They dif-
fered from one another and the re
sult was that before the train left
here there were two bets up. One
was that January futures would
reach ten cents in New York before
the first of January. Another was
that the staple would sell for nine
cents in the Southern cities before
Decemoer sets in. The farmers in
this county wish that the gentleman
betting on high cotton will win.

Proposed to Three in One Day.
A yonng gentleman in the city re
cently went out iu No. 1 township,
where he spent the day. - He put up
at a prominent farmer's home and
found himBelfin the midft cf a
throng of beautiful young women.
The young fellow became somewhat
confused before leaving, having
found ihe young ladies so agreeable
that he proposed to three of them,
all of whom accepted.
The proposition was of quite a
different nature from what many
would infer. It was that if the
young ladies would bring him a
bushel of scalybarks, he would go
beyond the market price and pay
them SI. 50 for them. He was very
much surprised when several days
later the ladies entered his place of
business, bringing with them the
soalybarks. The young fellow was
embarrassed, but paid the price,
whereupon the ladies thanked him
for his special fay r.

day evening Sheriff Sims received
information that a mob of several
hundred men were neading for thia
city for the purpose of lynching tha
man, wbite, who is held for au out
rage upon poor unfortunate Sallie
Barbee, whereupon the Sheriff
promptly prepared for their arrival
by stationing a guard at tne jai'.
No one appeared to molest the jail,
however, and at 4 o'clock th s morns
ing the guard was dismissed.
"Dr- White" showed no signs of
fears, and in his warm cell enjoys
quite and repose and the pleasure
of Btnoking cigarettes. Hia comforts
and safety are well considered, and
it is thought that there is no danger
of an uprising now, for the chacce3
for lynching, it is said, were afford
ed the mob before his perliminary
trial on Wedneslay.

resisted and routed the supposed
mob was composed of the following
