A Preacher on Silver. A Petersburg special says: 'Rev. . W. BafMe,,D. D., pastor of the First Baptist -church, preached a Bpecial sermon Sunday night to a very large congregation; His sub ject was 'Silver,' and his text was taken from the fifth chapter of Ec clesiastes and the tenth verse: 'Ho that loveth silver shall not bo satis fied with silver; nor he that is also vanity.' The Eminent divine dis cussed Bible principles applicable to ali, political parties, but In a wholly unsensational way. It is a somewhat curious fact that the ad vocates of free' silver insist that the sermon was on their side, while the advocates of "gold us confidently claim it for theirs. Armed With "HBHera."

The committee was in session for several hours. The situation was fully discussed Irom almost i-very standpoint, but no line of action "was determined upon. At 1:30 o'clock the committee adjourned until 3 o'clock this afternoon. It is not known just how long the committee vill be in session, but tho meeting will probably no t last beyond to morrow. Before final adjournment is made, some policy, will, in all probability, be determined upon. There have been no new develop ments today in the Southern and Seaboard question. The. mandamus served yesterday unon Commissioner Haines is in the hands of the attorneys of the as sociation, Messrs. W. H. & K. li. Black, and no move will be made by tho attorneys until tho committee now in session adjourns. The letter written - by President Spencer of the Southern to Chair man L. N. Trammel 1 of tho (Jeorgia railroad commission, as published in yesterday s Journal, created much comment in railroad circles. As yet, Mr. St. John, who was severely criticised in the letter, has not been heard from, but none who know him think for a single instant that the letter of President Spencer will remain unanswered by tho Sea board's champion. That Mr. St. John will be heard from within a short time is the expectation of all who know him. The Kates Restored. Atlanta, Ga., September 10. The executive committee of the States Freight Association decided last night to restore the old rates in effect before the rate war started. Ten days notice will bo given by filing a copy of the old tariff with the Interstate Commerce Comiuis- n. None of the roids have made a move towards getting a bearing from Judge Speer on the injunction granted by him enjoining the roads to restore the old rates. GUTHRIE LEFT ALONE. Says the Populist State Committee Han Deserted Him. A special to the Charlotte Obser ver says Messrs. Guthrie and Wat son addressed a small crowd at Henderson ville yesterdays Guthrie commented in the opening of his speech on the smallnessof the crowd. Watson 's speechwas conservative and a most "able argument, devoted entirely to a discussion of the na tional issues. Guthrie followed in a speech that caused great surprise, utterly unlike his speeches at Con cord and other points. He never once alluded to btate issues, but confined his remarks to a bitter de nunciation of the national Republi can party; and attackedbdlh Pritcb ard and. Peajsota as tools of the gold bugs, .advising .his hearers to re pudiate' both at the polish Ho made sarcustical allusion to the - recent dickor at Raleigh, and said that he had been., left 4ilotie by the State committee to fight his own battle. Not a single word of criticism of the Democratic party '-" escaped his lips. His denunciation of : Republicans was loudly cheered by the Democrat, Senator Tillman speaks at Kins ton N. C, Tuesday, - -V - TO BE HEARD" IN 'MACON, ThtfCut Rate Injunction "usC toGo Before Jadge Speer There. By Telegraph to the Pivbs-Visitor. ;'MAqpN, Sept.,lG.-4lt is probable that the "cut rate injunction" will be heard by Judge. Speer at Macon The subpoena in equity directs the defendants to answer by the first Monday inr Novemlor . By that time Judge Speerwjjfliave finished his summer ouf nig at Mt . Airy and Returned to Macon, Tho hearing will attract the lead ing railroad magnates of the South to this city. v-. There is an impression that Judge Spoer will hold that he has jurisdic tion when that point is raised and that he will go into the, case on . its merits And when the case reaches that stage, it will probably be broa der than when itwas heard in Green ville. The question of the right of railroads to conduct 'a physical pool on freight as they d with cotton may creep into the Case somehow, and it is possible that the right of railroads to consolidate and defeat competition inay get In by interven tion or some other door. Judge Speer rendered a decision once on this point, it will be remem bered, which. theftJnited States supreme court afterwardssustained. The doors are open now and the lawyers are going to.do some heavy thinking. ' Before this ease is over some question of great interest to the couutry and toGeorgiansespeci- ally will be raised.;' It seems in a fair way to reach the 1'nited Statap supreme court. Both lawyers and railroad men predict that the ques tion of a court's right to interfere with rate cutting must go to the supreme court for settlement. The Seaboard's representatives have al ways said that they would appeal if the circuit court ruled that a rail road could bo prevented by perma nent injunction from reducing rates as it saw tit in the cond net of its business. One of the most prominent figures in Southern railway circles said on tho'day the injunction was granted by Judge Speer that such proceed ings were of questionable benefit. An injuntiou may serve one com pany's purpose or the ends of 20 associated lines at one time, but at another time "it might bo invoked by a non-member against anassoeiation. One cannot tell where injunctions will oi"ip once they aro put in mo tion. Satisfactorily 'Answered. This morninga well known, though not highly intelligent citizen of Ral eigh, halted himself in front of the Academy of Music, while his eyes fell respectfuly on the huge Mc Kinley and Hobart banner. "Who is that fat oman up there, pointing to the picture of McKinley?" queried the inquisitive citizen. "Miss Columbia,'' Bailey, of North Carolina, amiably spoke up as he happened by and heard the interro gation. The man was satisfied. He passed on. Raleigh Man Robbed. The slickest robbery in years in Norfolk took place at the Academy of Music last night. J. W. Smith, a resident of Raleigh, went to see "Hamlet" last night and took a seat in the balcony next to two strangers The strangers left before the per formance was over, and after the show Smith discovered that his pockets had been cut and robbed of $32. There is no clue to the bold thieves. Portsmouth Star. Chairman Hoi ton on Maine. Republican headquarters were a bit jolly over the returns from Maine yesterday and today. Chairman Holton in commenting on the results of the Maine election said: "The Democrats have killed free silver. - The issue of free silver is the propertyof thePopulist party. The Democratic party is trying to deceive the Populists,, but they won't be fooled. " Gored by a Melons Bull. Monday afternoon white a student named Holt at tbe Xgricultural and Mechanical- college was leading a big bull-to Water the ' snap which held the stick to a ring in the bulls nose became loose. The bull rushed at Holt; threw him down and gored bim twice in the breast. - While he hud Holton the ground the latter had the rare presence of mind to seize the ring in the bull's nose, and actually held the animal off at arm's length until help came. Holt grad uated last year and was a medalist. BADLY AfANi The Bodv of the Boyt'dwln to be Sent Uoroc forTaftitlfication. " The boy wwas killed yester terday mormt near Garner by a train. running over him is presumed to be Thos. Godwin the runaway from tbe Deafahd Dumb Institution (colored). Tbe body is so badly binUulated that it will have to be sent home to his parents for absolute identification . ,! The boy was about l(i years old. He was a new pupil and-entered school last Wednesday. Young Godwin was on the grounds of the institution as late as half past seven Sunday, ejirning and was missed from the ?buildtfig ' about ..half past eight. BsirTy Monday morning a search was-; made for him. ' and-, be could hp be found6ifthe grounds: The police and railroad officials were notified and the supervisor A. W. Peg ues went to Garner in quest of him and also sent telegrams and letters along the line that a lookout be kept for him. But nothing was heard of him un til yesterday when the institution was notified that a boy was killed on the track near Auburn. The Supervisor went to Auburn to make investigation. The body was mangled in such a way as to make recognition beyond a certainty, vet he feels reasonably certain that the boy killed was the Godwin boy who left the Institution. The Insti tution spared no pains to ascertain his whereabouts. The body will be sent to Godwin, Cumberland county today for identi fication by his people. TODAY'S MARKETS.

Receipts of cotton were again heavy today and things looked lively on Wilmington and adjacent streets. There is a visible improvement in the tone of business as the' cotton is being marketed and money circulates more freely. Maj. H. L. Grant, of Goldsboro, was at his desk in Republican head quarters today. The Populists held their convention in Wayne Satur day and Maj. Grant's presence in Goldsboro was essential before the transaction of any business. A runaway near the North side Drug Store this morning on Halifax street broke the monotony in that usually quiet section of the city. A horse belonging' to John Ray, a drayman, dashed up the street, turn ing the wagon on oue side and drag ging it in that position until it was distributed in small fragments along the street. The horse was not hurt. The lowering of the grade on Hillsboro street, between McDowell and Harrington streets, necessitated the lowering of an eight-inch water main for several feet. It is a difficult and dangerous under taking to do this without cutting off the water. This would subject a loss of the use of water to a large part of the water consumers for 48 hours, which would be very incon venient this hot weather.

' V ' President Beneban Cameron has -on foot a plan to have the manufac turing interests of the State fully "3 displayed at the Slate Pair. This has never been made a feature since the exposition of 1884, and it is to be hoped that an elaborate exhibit of our industries will he made at the Coming Fair. President Cameron has addressed a letter to the manu facturers of the State on the subject in which he says: The great object of the State Fair S to exhibit as far as possible the resources and industries of the State. North, Carolina has made more rapid progress in manufact uring enterprises during ,b,e last twenty years than- any other Stufe in the Union; but with the exception of the State Exposition in 1884 our manufactures have taken little in terest in showing their goods at State Fairs. The managers for the present year will make special efforts to se cure, if possible, a small exhibit at least, some small article from every manufacturing establishment in the State. The articles will all be properly labelled and arranged iu a division in the main building, to be known as an "Index to North Carolina Industries.' It matters not how small the article all will receive the same attention. Of course some exhibitors may wish to have a dis play of their own; so much the bet ter if tbey do we have ample room for all. There is not a manufactur ing establishment in the State that cannot send something. Cotton Mills can send a bolt or half bolt of Plaids, bunch of yarns ortwiiie. Woolen mills can send a few yards of the products of their looms. Canning establishments, samples of their fruits and vegeta bles. Woodworkers, samples of their skill, in some form. Tanners can send samples of their leather and dressed skins. Saddlers and harness makers can send a saddle, a bridle or a set of harness. Millers can send a barrel of North Carolina flour, corn meal. etc. Carriage, buggy and wagon makers can all send vehicles or other useful articles to add to this interesting exhibit. All are invited to send something. Exhibitors may send -their own show cards, where they have them. Others will bo furnished by the So ciety. The services of an expert will be secured, who will arrange these ex hibits in the most attractive style. We believe it will make one of the most interesting exhibits ever shown at any State Fair. It is hoped thatevery manufactur ing establishment in the State will send something, be it ever so small. Every article will be well cared for and returned atthecloseof the Fair, unless otherwise directed. Let the exhibit be truly an Index to North Carolina Industries. The foregoing plan is not intended to supersede the Separate Exhibits expected from some of the largest establishments in the State. We want just as many of these individu al exhibits as possible, but when this cannot be done, contributions to the general display cau be made. Not Fnough Ships for Cotton. By Telegraph to the Press-Visitor. Savannah, Ga., Sept. 16. Savan nah is suffering fromalackof freight room for cotton cargoes to foreign ports. There are between 50,000 and 60,- 000 bales of cotton here to be ship ped across but the ships cannot be secured. There were no contracts made early in the season and the consequences seem to be that nearly all the ships are going to northern ports for grain cargoes for which double rates are being paid.
