DURHAM, N. C, TUESDAY' MAY 21, 1889.
X. C. PHARMACISTS.
Tlie Tenth Annual Meeting Ad-
uresses ot Welcome, Response,
The decennial meeting of the North
Carolina Pharmaceutical Association
convened at the courthouse, about
11 o'clock, this morning. ;
The Association was called to or
der by the President, Dr. T. D. Craw
ford, of Oxford, and the Secretary,
Dr. E. Y. Zoeller, of Tarboro, was
at his post. i
Prayer was offered by Rev. I)r.
W. T. Herndon, of the Christian
church.
The Local Secretary, Dr. P. W.
Vaughan, introduced Mr. J. S. Man
ning as "the Cicero of Durham."
Mr. Manning said the title be
stowed upon him had abashed and
unnerved him. In behalf of the city
government and our people gener
ally he bid the druggists a most
hearty welcome. The doors of the
town are open to you. It is idle to
remind you of the great responsibil
ity of your profession. The physi
cian would be handicapped and his
work but half done, but poorly done,
but for his ally, the druggist. Yours
is a profession the least understood
of all others. Only of late years the
importance of throwing around I it
the protection of the law has been
regarded. Druggists ought to.be
happy, especially in married life, Jas
no one studies more the science of
compatibles and incompatibles T
people of Durham and the town
tie
of
Durham welcome you to its midst.
Mr. Manning then introduced Mr.
J. H. Southgate, who said, in be
half of the members of the local
profession, it gave him pleasure that
he had the honor to welcome them
to the seat of their labors. It was a
wonderful alchemy that has so sud
denly transformed the pill-rollers of
North Carolina into such a hand
some body. It is evident to any ob
server you are not fond of taking
the stuff you so readily deal out to
oth ers. Isn't it remarkable that a
man may sell others what he avoids
himself and at the same time make
a profit of at least ten per centl ?
We have no kid glove hospitality to
oner you. It is ot the old North
Carolina type, which says : Come in,
sit down, make yourself at home ;
it you see what you don t want, ask
for it. He spoke of the industries
of Durham, her rapid growth, &c.,
and of the cleverness of our Dur
ham druggists. You have come io
a dry town, but I am authorized to
say you will be furnished with all
the drinks of soda water, as may
be necessary for your health. f
The addresses of welcome were re
sponded to, in behalf ofthe Associa
tion, in well chosen words, by Dr.
Croom, of Maxton, who gave assur
ance of appreciation of the kind
words of welcome. They were glad
of the privilege of meeting in the
prosperous town of Durham. The
faces of your people are not familiar,
but it seems we knew them because
we know so much of your enterprise.
We are proud we have a Durham in
the borders of our State. We re
joice in your great prosperity. We
hope to merit in part the words (jf
welcome by showing it is as much
tor the good of the people as our own
to promote our profession. Consid
erable progress has been made in
the last nine years. We have other
plans to carry out, which require the
support of the people. The Dr.
closed by again returning thanks for
the cordial welcome and giving, ex
pression to kind wishes for our peo-
Ple.
The President stated that while
every citizen is welcome to attend
the session of the Association, phy
sicians and the press are specially
invited.
The Secretary called the roll, after
which the President declared the
Association regularly organized and
ready for business.
On motion, the Association ad
journed until 3 o'clock' this after
noon.

GLORIOUS RESULTS.
Over One Hundred Conversions
at Danville Last Night More
than Six Hundred Since the
Sam Jones Meeting Began.
Corapiled from the Register.
Sunday morning at an early hour
buggies, carriages, wagons, "dug
outs" and all sorts of vehicles came
pouring into the city from every sec
tion of the country loaded with peo
ple who were coming in to hear
Rev. Sam Jones, the great evangel
ist, preach. ' .
The tabernacle was thrown open
much earlier than usual for the ex
perience meeting had been appointed
for 9 o'clock.
At the regular morning service
the tabernacle was literally packed
and there was not room "on the in
side for a single person. The doors
were crowded and the people stood
in great numbers on the outside
striving to hear the preacher.
The text was from the 9th vere
of the 1 1st chapter of the 1st Fpistle
uenerai oi ot. jonn : "it we contess
our sins he is faithful to- torgive us
our sins, and to cleanse us from all
unrighteousness." .
"The text," said the speaker, "sim
ply means if we repent God will
iorgive, and this is the epitome
ot the whole gospel. ;
After the sermon followed a ser
vice which made a scene never be
fore witnessed in this region. Tht
d oors jof al 1 th e c h u rch es w e re opened
for the reception of : members. Not
exactly that either, but an invitation
was extended to all persons, who had
been converted andhad determined
to lead a better life and desired to
give in their names to become mem
bers of churches, to come forward
First those desiring to join Methodist
churches were called, then the Bap
tist, then the Presbyterian, then the
Episcopal and then the Christian.
About seventy-five thus expressed
their desire to become members of
the churches.
Sunday afternoon, Mr. Jones
preached to men only, upon the
subject ot "Conscience, Record, God."
There; were between 3,000 and 4,000
men present at this meeting.
. At the close of the sermon, he said
he wanted to shake hands with
every religious man, who had made
up his mind to lead a new life, and
people began to crowd about the al
tar. Ihe reporter counted 111 and
it i3 safe to say that at least 125
persons came forward and shook the
preacher s hand. It was a most af
fecting scene. Many prominent
and lnnuential men went forward
and old men and voung men fell
upon each other's necks and wept
like children.
Sunday night the tabernacle was
again filled to evernowing and Mr,
Jones preached from thetext:
"And the Spirit and the bride say,
Lome. And let him that heareth
. - j - i i .i .
say, Louie, inu lei nim mat is
athirst. come. And whosover will,
let him takeot the water of life free
ly.'' Revelations xxii:17.
In conclusion he said he wanted
everybody who wanted to be saved,
who willed to be saved, to comeTor
ward and shake him by the hand.
Forty odd came forward and thirty
more stood up for prayers. A call
was then made for people who
wanted to join the church to come
forward and hand in their names
and the people came up in large
numbers. There was weeping and
there was rejoicing and the whole
congregation seemed to be filled
with the Spirit
Mr. Jones preached twice yester
day and made two appointments
for to-day, morning and night The
last service will he held to-morrow
morning, at 6 o'clock,
i There were over one hundred con
verts last night and there have been
so. far, since the beginning of the
meeting, something over 600 con
verts. Among them are people from
all the surrounding counties, travel
ing men who were only spending a
few days in Danville and strangers
from a distance. Among the con
verts last night were two men from
Orange county, N. C. one from

On i ham Scores a Success at
Chapel Hill.
Editors Plant : The most en
joyable entertainment which it him
been the good fortune of this scribe
to attend in many years was given
in Gerard Hall, at Chapell Hill, N.
C. on last evening, by the Durham
School of Music, w.ith Miss Lessie
Southgate presiding.
The concert was given in the in
terest ofthe Methodist church edi
fice of Chapel Hill, which is in course
erection, and it was a grand success
in every respect.; It had been pre
dicted by many Orange countv
prophets that as it is examination
week at the University that the audi
ence would be very small, but when
Miss Southgate and her attractive
band of musicians and the appointed
hour arrived, the nuhlic could nnt re
sist the temptation.
The audience was large, attentive
and appreciative, and every person
that appeared on the stage was in
every sense equal to the occasion
and reflected much credit on Dur
ham, North Carolina's distinguished
leader in manjr excellencies.
Quite a number of the recitations
were called for the second time. The
Chapel Hill people think Miss Les
sie Southgate is success personified.
The members of the Durham
School of Music will please accept
our thanks for the rich feast and
the financial assistance with which
they have favored us, and I hope
they will honor Chapel Hill with
another visit in the near future.
