PRIC?E FIVE CENTS fuf W Iff I' - II II . A rv rv DEATH OP REV. DR. W. M. ROBEY. Oil Saturday morning at 25 minutes past 11 the eoul'of our dear friend and God's faithful minister left its tenement of clay for that home where Jesus lives irid where He stands at the right hand :f the Father. We have jjot. heard low he jiied, but feel sure it imphanV He died at his was tri- home in loldsboro, and we suppose was about Z years of age. He had been very ill "or weeks and his death was not unex pected .- He was married three times, in d leaves an aged mother, wife and children to mourn their great bereave; ment. We do not know where he was born, but he was a native of this State. He joined the North Carolina Con ference, Southern Methodist Church, at Salisbury in 1860. He served Clinton circuit in the war. From 1806 to 1869 he was on the Elizabeth Circuit. In 1870 ho was pas tor of Front Street Church, Wilming ton. In December, 1870, hei was ap pointed President of Davenport Female Allege, which position he filled until he College was burned in February, 1877. In 1878 and 1870, he was in charge f Lenoir Station. In 1880, he was at Tonesboro: in 1881-'84, he served the Goldsboro Church; in 1885-'86, he was at Tryon Street Church, Charlotte; in 1887, he was on Goldsboro Circuit, and in 1888-'89, was pastor of St. j Paul M. 3. Church, Goldsboro. In 18S6, he was a delegate to the General Conference. He edited rfor many years with distin guished ability the Methodist ' Advance. ". Dr. Robey was a born polemic. He 7rote with exceeding vigor anp at times ;ith exceeding beauty. He j was very gifted with the pen. We have read :ome productions of his that for grace, legance and felicity of expression, :ave-rbeen rarely equalled by North Carolinians. Ho was - very, strong in iscussion. He was a brave man or an lprudcnt man that would grapple 1th him in debate with tongue or I n. - Ho was a man of thought. He !; new how to think. He was logical in the structure of his mind. He was powerful preacher when at his best. Lis mends loved mm. Me was I Id, aggressive, fearless, i and , he ved the truth. He was open straight . rward,; manly. He was not always .prudent, and-was not impecable, but 3 was honest, frank, without hypocri- 7 and lion-hearted. This writer held ilm in very high esteem, and tears fall .s he prepares this hurried tribute to :is memory. He was a man to trust i confide in, for you felt he meant hat he said, and that his professions ere genuine and profound. 1 He was a ; xorough Methodist, but not a bigot in i.iy sense; We do not know all the men in the North Carolina Conference, r nd we can only deliver judgment as va see it., To.us he seemed the round. est, compietesi, strongest man in nis i oligious body. We -have not doubted it since Rev. Dr. N. H. D. Wilson's leath. As a master of style with the en we regarded him first of all. A man of high talents, a thorough North Carolinian, a sincere Christian, faithful minister, of the Gospel, a rave, honest soul, a true friend has one to iiis I'cward. Oh, what a strong ppeal does mighty death make to the 3ve and charity of every heart! Dr. ohnson said that death increased our sneration for the good. We feel this j we pencil these lines. That good id able scholar and preacher, Dr. dam Clarke, said "Death to a good ; an is but passing through a dark c itry, out of one little" dusky room of his Father's house into another that is fair and large and lightsome and glo rious, j and. divinely entertaining." Methodism sorrows. North j Carolina is again bereaved. j A 1 i A J . '. A 1. , PISTOL-GRAPHS.

This is the result or a long correspondence between the Governor and the United States au thorities. A message to the legisla ture at the last session set out the im portance of getting in these six per cent construction bonds and thus terminate ing the receivership under what is known as the Swasey suit. The Gov ernor goes to Washington the second of October to arrange the matter fin ally .... ' The board of directors of the Insane Asylum did not take any pay for their attendance at the meeting this week. They decided that they had no right to do so. The board which set during the Grissom investigation paid itself $4 per diem, but did this upon the ad vice of nine attorneys, who all stated that it was leeal. Very little rain has fallen not enough to lay the dust, and a good shower will be grateful to the people and beneficial to the crops. The camp at the Fayette ville Cen tennial Celebration will be pitched on "Haymount," on the site of the old ar senal. The people of the hospitable town will make many arrangements for the comfort of the troops. The camp will be supplied with water taken from a famous spring and served through pipes. President Holliday is devoting him self to the interests of the Agricultural and Mechanical College, and is giving personal attention to the finishing touches of the work on the building. Preparations are complete for the reopening of the public schools after the lonar vacation since March. It is only a question of time as to the build ing of another white school in the Western part of the city. Two or three laborers on the bis: sewer trenches southwest of! the city near what used to be known as ,Mor- deoai's pond, 'narrowlv escaped death yesterday by the caving in of the earth, which is a sort of quick-sand. The most extrenieprecautions have to be constantly taken to prevent disasters. A good deal of cotton is coming in. If is noticeable that not a bale oi it is covered with jute bagffinsr. Most is covered with sacks (which come from Italy) some of it with pine straw bag ging and some with cotton bagging. . Your correspondent was in the De partment of Agriculture this morning, chatting with Commissioner Robinson, as load after load of cotton passed on the way to the compress. The com missioner smiled and said, "The bag ging trust is dead. The farmers will not use its bagging. The whole South is in arms against it." ' To show how profitable small fruits and truck are in this section it should be stated that all who grow them are making money from $50to $100 net per acre. One strawberry grower will put in 10,000 strawberry plants for next season. He made the past season $100 net on each acre in berries. " There will bela heavy increase in the acreage in grapes. Many thousand vines will be set out All the truckers and fruit growers are prosperous. They all have money at a season of the year when farmers have none. v It is learned that the company which is prospecting in the Dan river coal region is now ready to begin work sink ing a deep shaf,. It will use the dia mond drill and will bore 1,000 feet. A specialist is on . the ground supervising all the work. It is the full belief that in sinking this deep shaft coal oil will be found.

Prof. Hidden, the well known miner alogist, is not working in this State now. He has a laboratory at Newark, N. J., and is probably there. The number and the value of the minerals he has taken out of this State will never be known. The people of Alexander county, where he did most of his min ing, have learned his method and now mine for gems themselves. Hidden was at one time an eager searcher for zincons. He has now supplied the market with them. His Hiddenite mines are now at a stage where their further working becomes very expen sive, so he has abandoned them. A hardware firm of this city has sold twelve sorerhum mills this year. They are the first it has ever sold. This shows that sorghum culture, . which is so desirable an dhas proved very suc cessful has taken a hold in Wake county. ' :v Mr. D.

Henry 8. lree Charred With Forrinff the Name of Christopher Meyer ton Partner ship Agreement. New York, Sept. 14. The Evening Sun. in Its last edition to-dar. prints a long and sensational story In which it charges Henry S. Ives with an attempt 10 tod ine estate oi the late Christo pher Meyer of $7,000,000 by means of forgery. The forgery consisted of what is reported to be a partnership agreement which would nave made Meyer's estate responsible to the full amount of Meyer's fortune for debts of ixie urm oi Ayes, oiaynor & jo. I xnis agreement was used in the col- I lusive suit brought by - Albert Nettier I against Ives, Staynor & Co., after Meyer's death.. The scheme failed, however, because the executors of Meyers estate disputed the genuine ness of Meyer's signature. k ; Emperor William In Hanorer Berlin, Sept. 14. (Copyright.) I The hearty reception given to Emperor I William at Hanover .uaa Deen a i cratr i ifying surprise, as showing the extinc tion of the ante-Prussian party, with the popular growth of German national sentiment. His pleasure over the welcome found expression in words that he addressed to Herr Benigsenober, President of the province. He found himself among his own people in Hanover, he said. His meeting with the Czarevitch vested with unwonted eclat, the honors ibeing tne same as would, .nave been accorded tne Uzar. ; Around the Emperor were Prince Albrecht, Grand Dukes c Hesse and Oldenburg; Prince Charles of Sweden, several German Prince-lings and court officials. The Czarevitch cordially responded to the Emperor's greeting, i They drove through ranks of veterans and members of city guide to the Schloss. Yesterday's review was a brilliant spectacle. The Czarevitch rode on the Emperor's right; Count Von Waldersee led the Hanoverian Uhlans, and Prince George the 16th (Jhlans. Prince Al brecht was at the head of the Bruns- wickers. The Emperor rode along the line of 7,UUU men and expressed com plete satisfaction with the bearinsr of the troops. j Returning to the Schloss the Impe rial party visited the Guild of the Brew ers. The Emperor drank a glass of beer and the Empress was presented with a bouquet. The fact that the Czarevitch was received in the style usually reserved for crowned heads is exciting unusual attention. The pro gramme of his reception at Kiel and Hanover was dictated by Prince' Bis marck, who was actuated by his know! edge that the Czarevitch if disposed to renew amicable relations with Ger many. His influence may assist the Chancellor's final efforts to modify the i " i ii vzar b nosuiiiy. According to present arrangements, on nis visit to Jfotsdam. the Czar is de termined to avoid all reference to the politicaT situation. Neither Giers or any other minister of his political cabi net will 'accompany him. His suite will be composed solely of military officers. Prince Bismarck is credited with aiming to obtain an interview sim ilar to the historic conference of Nor vember, 1887. The Czar in assenting to the programme of the visit has ignored the existence oi theChancellor. Court, report has it that he prefers not to meet him. Whatever weight the Czarevitch has with his father will tend in favor of according an inter view with Prince Bismarck. Tne "Emperor will go to VVismar on Tuesday to attend the manoeuvres of the Ninth Corps. He will return to Hanover on September 20th, when he will command in the battle between the Tenth and Seventh; at which smoke less powder will be) used. He is enjoy mg splendid health despite incessant fatisrue. TT1 - . 1 - a i ,r;lA lis speecnes ai me lumiary banquets given at Dresden and Minden smite vt;u sn uugiy Ui WiU.

An appli cation was recently made to the Treas ury .Department lor permission to im port and withdraw for consumption snuff and smoking tobacco in packages of one-sixteenth, one-eighth, one quar ter anduxne-half kilogrammes, and was denied! on .the ground that under the internal revenue law no imported man- uiacturea tooacco can enter into con sumption in this country otherwise than in legal packages. The applicant stated that packages containing snuff and tobacco in quantities as above stated had been passed at the custom houses of Boston and Cleveland, Ohio. In regard to this point he was informed that the irregular practice referred to had occurred at the port of Cleveland only and that the collector at that port had been instructed to discontinue such practice. i Johnstown Contributions.

Unfavorable reports come from the northeastern counties, in which portion of the Sta.e the weather has been cool and i misty, with high northwest winds, having an "injurious effect on cotton and other crops. In all other portions of the State the effect of the weather has been benefi cial to all crops, especially cotton. which is opening nicely.

The strike of the western window glass workers was practically settled at a conference of the workmen and a committee of the manufacturers which lasted from yes terday afternoon until early this morn ing.
