Mr. Dock- ery and another man were sawing logs in the woods near the mill of Dr. Lyle onWal nut Creek, a log above them suddenly gave way, and coming down with great force caught the legs of Dockery, throwing him violently on his face against another log, breaking his jaw in three places and seri ously, if not fatally, injuring him. Dr, A. C. Brabson was sent for but did not reach the sufferer for 15 hours after the accident. He dressed the wounds, and pronounced them not neccessarily fatal, S. A.

Lucas, proprietor of Corun dum Hul, is pushing mining operations there vigorously, twenty or more teams are kept busy moving the corundum the railroad. P, HI. E. Church Appointments. Among the appointments of the M. E. Church for the Blue Ridge District, which embraces the State of North Carolina, Rev. A. F. Creswell is assigned to High' lands and Webster ; Rev. J. D. Roberson is presiding elder for the Blue Ridge Dis trict; Rev. G. W. Matton, who was for merly minister for this circuit, has been assigned to Temperance and Sunday School work for North Carolina. The congregation here are expecting Bishop Warren and Rev. Dr. Fnller, of the throughout the union. Political econo- misls are learning, at length, that it costs less to . administer all forms of govern ment in these United States national, state and. municipal than it costs to supply the demand of the demon of in temperance. In Iowa, within fivo years, the W. C. T. Union has created a public sentiment sufficient to carry the state for prohibition, with a majority of 30,000, and the circumstance that a larcical tech nicality forbids the will of the people becoming a present law, does not daunt or discourage them. It is only a question of a little more time, a little more work and prayer In Indiana the late legislature received petitions fur submission of prohibition measures from eighty-eight counties, and bearing mere than 20,000 voters' signa tures, wi'h the certainty of Prohibition ecoming a prominent issue, and irre spective of party, too. In -Minnesota, the question of submitting to the people an amendment to tHe "state constitution, allowing women to vote upon all quf stion8 pertaining to the liquor trafic, was lost by just two votes. ims winter the w . u. T. U. is circu- atmg petitions throughout the state to present to the legislature, asking consti tutional prohibition. Vermont is moving ahead with the rest, In Portland, the Woman's Union began, two years ago. with eighty-two saloons open. At present not one remains. They have conducted forty-two trials, every one resulting in conviction ; fifteen thousand dollars worth of fines have been imposed; and imprisonments foot up over one hun dred years. This is something of what the W. C T. Union has done and is doing. It works to create a sentiment that shall demand Prohibition absolute State Prohibition first, then National Prohibition, with an amendment to the Constitution of the United States, prohibiting its manufac ture and sale, except only for mechanical and scientific purposes ; and it will not cease its efforts till there be a Prohibition President at Washington, backed by Prohibition Cabinet. 1 he cause has a place in politics, and is there to stay. Already, in a score of states, it is the most prominent issue, and in several it holds the balance of power, No other party has risen so rapidly. So much for the political side. The reformatory work is more congenial to women. in Minnesota there are iUU organized Unions, besides the Juvenile Societies, Bands of Hope and Young Women's So cies. They support twenty-two lecturers, a constitutional agitation committee, reform club and a prison committee They have established conee and soup houses, and schools for street boys. There are fifteen thousand dollars worth to Highlands Xemperancc Union. The meeting of the Highlands Tern perance Union, on Sunday, 4th inst., was of unusal interest, evincing a newly-awak ened zeal for the cause, which must greatly gratify and encourage the few laborers in the field. An essay by Mrs. Kelsey, read by Mrs Skinner, was a touching and effective ap peal. The readings, recitations and mu sic were well rendered and appropriate especially affecting was the story, "'My boy is out to-night," with its pathetic air. But the feature of the evening was a very able paper by Mrs. Hunt, giving such valuable information that we present the following summary : the work op the woman's christian temperance union. Having fought intemperance in the North-western frontier for two years, almost single-handed and alone, we sought Highlands for rest, thinking, amidst its mountains, to find the peace befitting the Methodist Advocate, to De in auenoance grandeur and beauty of its scenery.

The answer is tations, importunities and prayers, sue- of intoxicating liquors, per capita, for every man, woman and child, sold every year in the United States. The greatest obstacle to temperanee work in the South, heretofore, had been aristocratic prejudice. But one of the most hopeful signs of tho times is the certainty that this preindice is dying out, In Georgia, the "Banner State" of the South, womtn are enlisting in the work gradually, and Miss Frances Willflrd, the Pr of ulent of the .National VV. U. 1. U on her lecturing tour throughout the South latelv. was everywhere received most cordially and entertained most roy Hlly. There is, undeniably, a growing ten dency, throughout the South, towards restrictive liquor legislation. The W. C. T. U. of Georgia held convention in Atlanta Jast month, to or eranize a State body. Gov. Colquitt and his wife standing at the head of this movement. North Carolina has not, heretofore been behind her sisters, but late legisla tive reports mention an effort to repeal the Local Prohibition Laws. This is certainly a step backward. Let not the sin have the protection of the law ! If your local laws be ubt all you can desire still drnot discard them till yon are cure of a better substitute. "if If North Carolina takes this stand, she will doubtless soon find herselt as far behind the other States in this matter as she is now in that of education. We trust the issue will be far different, and that Prohibition Laws may be adopt ed by this State which ehall ensure her lasting glory and peace.
