Preachers and Educators' Crusade Against Excursions. Greensboro colored clergymen, to gether with some of the colored edu cators, have started a crusade against colored excursions and if their future efforts are marked with the same de gree of success as their first, colored excursions from Gre nsboro will soon be a thing of the past. It was the re sult of their exhortations that the excursion, which was to have been run to Roanoke last Monday, was neces sarily annulled, the managers being unable to sell tickets enough to pay the amount rt quired by the railway company before the train could depart. The anti-excursionists estimate that for every excursion they prevent they save $-500 to Greensboro, and it is un derstood that they have pledged their influence to prevent every excursion that is announced to leave here. They have set an examp'e that colored cler gymen, esp cially, throughout this and other southern states would do well to copy, and they deserve com mendation. STOLE FROM Ml FATHER.

The Mass Meeting At the Court House Last Night PROMINENT CITIZENS SPOKE. Discussion Live But All One Way Committee Appointed to Urge Voters to Attend the Polls. The first public step toward answer ing the question, Shall Greensboro issue bands?" was taken at the court house last night, when a meeting of citizens was held for a discussion of the subject. The meeting was not largely attended, but was composed of progressive men, who have the best in terest of Greensboro at heart, and the discussion was spirited and interesting throughout. Mayor Z V. Taylor called the meet ing to order, explained the use to which the bond money, if secured, would ba put, and made a most inter esting talk, showing the necessity for the issuance of the bonds. Alderman Hunter was then called. He said that he had considered the bond issue in all its phases, and thought it the best thing for the city. Dr. Charles D. Mclver was next called, and made a short speech, stat ing that he did not beli- ve that. Greens boro could afford to do without sew erage and good streets, and that she could noti get them without issuing bonds. He said; "Greensboro is thu coming city of North Carolina. It is the only pla e in the state which can be reached from ay point in tl.o state in one day. If we have faith in our selves we can remove mountains. The Of iif v vi ili i to iti l l i) l it ii h ii l i) ii viz ij A WAKE UP, GREE $300;000 BOND ISSUE TO BE VOTED ON dt NEXT TUESDAYS 1 5 35 -5 very statement that Greensboro has issued $300,000 in bonds will be worth more to her than almost anything else." Geo. S. Sergeant was called upon to speak, j and made a few remarks, ex pressing it as his opinion that the bonds should be issued. R. W. Brooks; "These improve ments we certainly need, and I see no way of getting them except by the issu ance of bonds." J. Ad. Hodgin: "As a citizen of Greensboro and one interested in the city's future, I am in favor of bonds." Dr. W. B Bcall impressed the n;ed of a sewerage system, and only wished that more than $300,000 bonds were to b : issued. Hon. A. L. Brooks made a short talk, during which he referred to Reidsville's electric light plant, which is being operated by the city with profit. "Reidsville is now putting in a $35,000 water plant, which will also be operated by the town." President Dudley, of the A. & M. College, colored, being called upon, stated that he was in hearty sympathy with the movement to issue bonds, and would use ail his influence for its suc cess, feeling that his race would reap their share of the benefits. Judge John Gray Bynum made a timely talk, that was to the point. He urged the necessity of working to gether for the success of the election, and assured his hearers that nothing but hard work would carry it for the bonds. Hon. Thomas Settle was called upon and made an earnest speech, saying that he was in favor of the bond issue if the benefits were equally shared by all citizens otherwise not. Alderman Sergeant replied to some of Mr. Settle's remarks, after -wh'cb. the original Sam Brown made a short talk, which was, as usual, witty and practical. John N.Wilson made a few remarks, endorsing those of Judge Bynum. Af ter pressing the need of concerted ac tion, Mr. Wilson moved that the may or appoint a committee of twenty good men to see that the voters are urged to go to the polls on election day. The motion was amended by Dr, Mclver and T. A. Lyon, and was passed unamimously. as printed be low: viv "It being the understanding that the 1300,000 of bonds ia to be used foi( the greatest benefit to the general interests of Greensboro, and without any un just discrimination against the inter ests of any one section of the city, we declare ourselves In favor of the bond issue. And the chairman of this meet ing is hereby authorized to appoint a committee of thirty, five from each ward, to see that the vote is brought out and polled."

C, July 11, 1899.. G. H. Wright, Greensboro, N. C: We sell water by meter measurement only.
