The New Salvation Army,
The Wilmington Messenger says:
We confess to much sympathy for
the Hoot ha, and are glad to see that
the launching of the new move
ment is so enthusiastically indorsed
in New York. The New York
Tribune noticing tho meeting to in
dorse the organization of an Ameri
can Salvation Armj, says:
''Nothing was lacking in the way
ot numbers or enthusiasm. Eycn
in the excitement of a political
campaign tho big hall has rarely
he hi a aruer or a mote eaeer ana
responsive audience. Many Sal
vationists wore present from this
neighborhood, and even distant
parts of tho country were repre
sented. The new movement has
not vet received a namo. Apparent
ly the greater part of the old Army
hereabout will tmn it. anu nuiiter
oiiB accessions from other places wil
awaken no surprint'. The hold which
Mr. and Mrs. Hooth have on their
former adherents is strong, and
multitude will follow where they
lead tho wy."
Tho old L'cntleman who first
organized this wonderful system is
an ftniflishman all through, and bc
customed to monarchical Ideas. He
persists in his course, and insists
upon the strictist military discip
line. This is right and thcro is no
objection to the system tor hurope.
Ifut over here other Pleas may ana
do obtain. Our people are ac
customed to religious freedom, and
personal action baaed upon thst
theory. When aconspiracyorcabal
succeeded in uselessly having Com
mander P.allmgton liouth and his
wile removed he resigned as he had
a perfect right to do. He now, and
he is strongly backtd, proposes to
continue hia residence in this coun
try, which he p-efers, and to or
ganize a separate ana distinct
Christian organization to carry on
tho Bond and blessed work of
evangelization, of saving men and
women from perdition. God speed
him and Mrs. Hooth, tor they are a
most worthy pair. lr. his brief ad-
ess Mr. lJooth said :
"Mrs. Hooth and myself have not
come to this gathering tor the pur
pose of alluding to recent sad events
in our experience. lint it is rpnto
true that upon serious thought and
careful del beration we huvo re
solved to inaugurate a new move
ment. I Cheers.' Could it have
been avoided, it most assuredly
would have been, on our part. We
did not believe that the people of
the United States would fail to
recognize the work we had done in
the name of God, through the
strength ot His spirit and on behalf
of His cross during the bst nine
years, or that they would for a
moment lUten to tho proeition
that wo should quitely tetire into
private life. Cries of "Xo ! No !")
Recognizing tho great field for
religions here, larger than any in
any other civilized country of the
globe, that there was room tor not
one, not twenty, but a hundred
more Salvation armies, we have re
solved to the best of out abilities to
do something that shall win over
the middle and artisan peoples or
this country to the cause of Christ.
We do not intend to engage in any
battle or strife with the Salvation
Army."

A dispatch of Monday from H. I
boa, saj s : Another anti American
riot occurred to-day and is of treat
er importance than tho so-called pa
triotic disturliauces caused by the
action of the Congress of the I'ni
ted Mates in regard to Cuba.
Twelve thousand people took
part in tho demonstration. The
excitement started by a group of
young men at a street corner, who
began to cheer every soldier that
passed. I heir conduct was soo
imitated by groups of people until
every soldier seen was cheered by
tho crowds, and some musicians
who refused to rep. st tlip National
anthem, were buttled off, beaten
and otherwise maltreated.
I no cxciiotnt tit InCreiiseit ami
riotous groups formed in the main
thoroughfare, cheering tor ppain
and denouncing the I mted Males.
Thu authoiilies did everything p"s
sible to restore order.
Tito entire police foice wa call
out when the populace assumed
a threiiteiiinn UMHvt. 1 Ins rioters
dispersed aaiti and Haiti, hut
eventually tho mob swept tho p
lice aside ami moved on the Amer
ican Constitute, st'.nii.g buildings
winle en route.
Stores handling American goods
were ruined. 1 he windows of the
Consul's h' lise were badly shatter
ed, although tho police defended
the building. The molt then mov
ed on to the Consulate where it was
met by a strong guard, who held
them off with drawn swords. The
mob pelted the ofliccrs vigorously
with stones, when the ofliccrs clnrg
ed. The rioters then li rod with pis
tols, wounding two policemen. The
police then charged on the body
again, beating back the rioter". Tho
governor lias proclaimed martial
law.
For Reflection.
A friend picked up the following
somewhere and placed it in our
hands. It contains food for rtibc-
tion. Kcad it and meditate upon H :
Do you know That genius Is
simply tho power of making con
tinuous ellort f
You know That the line be
tween failure and success is so fino
that yon scarcely know when you
pass it, so fine, that you are often
on thelttie and do not know it.
You know That many men
have thrown up their hands jtit-t at
a time when a trifle more elfoit, a
little more patience would have
brought success.
loii know that the tide goes
clear out, and when it comes back
it comes cletr in.
You know When business pros
pects are darkest, that often they
are right on the tun;, and that a
little more effort on what seemed
hopelecs failure will turn to glorious
success.
Even body knows That there
is no defeat except from within you,
and no insurmountable barriers
save iu your own inherent weakness
of iui pose.
oti know If your name is not
recorded cn the muster roll ot
ieroes who did their w hole duty in
building up your town and coin
mnnity it will be your own laiut.
We all know lhat to reach the
lighest possibilities possible your
best efforts must be exerted from
this hour and continued without a
momcutr cessation to the end. Will
you be one who will do it ?
hen you wado right in fully
determined to succeed, it means
dollars, honuiable mention.
n hen roil rmike no effort save
to grumble and wait for something
to turn up it may mean cents, riot
sense, Hardly a roiih stone to mark
jour resting place.
If there is one statement in this
that is false or exaggerated, please
Hunt it out. It it is all true paste
in your hat and read it daily.
Try to get it into your bend.

That Dead Silver luue.
Some ot our friends have advised
m that the silver issue baa been
settled by tho vote in the lower
house of Cotigriss. Tho hanging
of John Brown ttled the anti
slavery movement in the minds ot
some few people at lhat lime. It
was also claimed, w hen the aboli
ti,.nHta were driven out of the
cities, beaten and rotten eggd, that
their cause was killed.'
Tho silver movement is more
important than that great issue. It
i not dead ; it does not even lan
guish ; tho people are awakening,
and will soon bo heard from. The
tr sent had times are due entirely
to nnti silver legislation and will
endure, and la come gradually worse
and worse, until the popular
erroneous impreepi-ms are changed
and silver rcmoneiized. Our Ameri
can bankers and business men are
honestly and patt ioticaly advocating
monometallism. They think thai
the silver men are wrong. They
believe lhat free coinago would
prove commercially disastrous to us.
We take the liberty of quoting the
views of the tdttor of tho lmdon
rinancial .News on that point, as
follows :
' There is a plain moral in the re
mark Ihtt If tho United States
would venture to cut herself adrift
from Hii rope and tako outright to
silver she would have all Ametica
and Asia at her back, and would
cotiitn.tnd the markets of both con
tinents. The barrier of gold would
be more fatal than any barrier of a
enjoin house. The bntid of silver
would bo stronger than any bond of
free trado There can be no doubt
about it, that if tiio United States
were to adopt a silver basis to-nior-
row British trado would be ruined
before tho year was out. Every
American would bo protected, not
only at home, but at every other
market. Ot course the United
Mates Would have to sutler to a
ccr'ain extent thrcugh having to
av her obligations abroad in gold,
but the lo?s on exchange under this
head would be a mere drop in the
bucket compared with the profits
to be reaped from tho markets of
Sen h America and Asia, to say
nothing td Europe. Tho marvel is
that the United States have not
uig ago seized the opportunity. It
has been a piece of luck that it has
never occurred to the Americans to
scoop us out of the world's markets
by going on a silver basis, and it
might 6erve us right, if, irritated by
he con tempt nous apathy ot our
government to the gravity of the

Eyerie Shaw Killed by the Cars.

no was kinea oy a train near utgii
Point Saturday, were brought here
and buried. The deceased was 20
years old. lie was killed by pas
senger train No. 35, Southbound.
It seems the engineer did not s e
him and in fact knew nothing of it
until part of the man's body was
found on the engine when near
Salisbury. His retinitis were found
but were so badly mutilated that it
was trrrpossible to recognize him.
A letter, however, was found in hi
picket from his father, Mr. llemy
Hiaw, of this city, who is now work
ing in Greensboro.
The father says his son had been
Working in a cotton mill in bahs
bury. Mr. Shaw, of course, had
no knowk'dgo of now his son was
killed, but expected ho was coining
home on a freight train when he
fell off and was afterwards run
over by the passenger.
Tho Kt-cord thinks it is more than
probable that he was boating hie
way on the freight train to Greens

is the idea of the railroad men, but
it is likely tho true state of affairs
will never be known. Winston

Buried Alive.
Mr. II. L. Wooten, of this city,
informs usof a diutressing revelation
which came about through the re
moval of the body of his uncle, the
late Mr. Charles Woolen, of Centre
ville, Pitt county. Mr. Wooten
died about five years ago, and 'he
other day his brother-in-law, Mr.
Jos. May, disinterred tho remains
to place them elsewhere.
Both the box and the coffin were
found in a good state of preserva
tion, but ono side of the coflin was
found to have been forced off to
have been forced w ith such violence
as to break the screws, and Mr.
Wooten's body, instead of being on
its back, in which position it is
absolutely known to havo been
buried, was on the side with the
face toward the part of the coflin
which had been burst open.
There seems to be but one solu
tion ot this state of affairs, and that
is that life was not extinct when
Mr. Wooten was inferred, and that
he revived before death came, and
struggled sufficiently to rend the
coflin in the manner described.

Small Railroad lines In the South.
Thij number of sma'l railroad
lines in flic South which have been
built tiithin recent years is remark
ably large. Their owners are prin
cipally lumber and tninirg com
panies, who have constructed them
originally for carrying timber, etc.,
etc., to mills and furnacea or to
some laigcr sys'em with which they
usually connect. The Manufactu
rers' Uecor J bus been compiling
summary of tbe-e private railroad
lins in the Southern States which
shows that about f 11,500,000 capi
tal is now invested in thein and
that the mileage is very extensive.
In North Carolina alone nearly
three hiindrt d miles of such lines
have been built. The longest pri
viitc road is in southeastern Texas.
It is a trim road seventy-fivo miles
in extent. In Kentucky, North
Carolina, Texas and ( 'eorgia the in
vestment of capital has exceeded
f I. (KM 1,000 in eacli case. The fig
ures given by the Manufacturers'
Kecoid show that a great number
have be ti very profitable, one line
in North Carolina earns 10 per
cent, in annual dividends, while
another company has built fifteen
miles ol extension from the profits-,
of thirty-five miles in operation.

There is a difference between
roedl-
cines and medicines.
Those of to-dnr. as a rule, differ from
thos of the past in many respect.
Fully as p-reat is the difference be
tween' Dr. King's
ROYAL GERtlETUER
and the ordinary medicines of to-day.
It is unlike them in
THESE FIVE THINGS:
1. It does not taste like a medi
cine. It is as pleasant to take as
lemonade and makes a most refreshing
drink.
2. It never nauseates the most
delicate stcwach.
S. It docs not swap off one dU
eas for anot her. H does not Bet up
ono form of disease in order to relieve
another as is so often the case.
4. It contains no alcohol or
opium in any form and is always
harmless even when pieen to a babe
one day old.
O. It does not patch simply. It
onres. It reaelu as no.thin? else
does to the hidden source of disease
in the blood and remove the cause. It
docs this with an ease and power that
have never been equaled.
