An Error.
In an article on Gov. Holt, the Dur
ham Globe tells some solid truths,
but makes a slight error It says :
"It is tree that he has the veto and
pardoning power, but men like Holt
will not abuse such privilege, and if
Tom Holt is nominated he will be
elected, and he will give satisfaction
The Governor of this State has not,
so far as we ever heard, the veto
power He is not even required to
sign any" bill passed by the General
Assembly. He has the pardoning
power, bot this we think should be
in the hands of a pardoning board,
and not lodged in the executive. Like
the Globe, however, we feel that
Governor Holt would not abuse any I

It is in contemplation to get up a

"The Id" Old Story "
represents the aristocracy of diana,
and is pleasing to all classes. The
play will be a relief to that portion
of the public that have been over
bu. ofcued with farce and comedy. It
is full of human interest, and con
tains a sufficiency of comedy. Its
cniof charm is in the naturalness of
the characttrs uin1 the interest of the
various situations, it is a pure and
healthy story of real life wherein
pathos and humor and the laughter
a no lears of real lite are admirably
blended.
The Cash System.
In conversation with a prominent
business man of Raleigh today, he
said that there appeared to be a gen
eral idea to adopt the cash system of
trade as far as possible, ai d that he
thought it would better both for
debtor and creditor. It would ap
pear that, in the main, this would be
the correct idea, because it is beyond
question that where persons of limit
ed means have any considerable cred
it they oftentimes make purchases
that they can ill afford, and In this
manner do themselves and their fam
ilies injustice. A cash system, or an
approach to .it, would certainly be
best if it is carried out by all.

Spring Goods.
Several cases of spring goods were
opened this morning at Swindell's.
Spring ginghams, spring challies in
wool, spring worsteds and several
cases wnne gooas. aiso o cases ot
nice spring clothing for men and
boys. Now all this lot of spring goods
goes at wholesale cost just the same
as all our other stock. When we
move we don't want any of our stock
to take to Baltimore. We have also
60 rolls of carpets in ingrain, 50 rolls
Brussels, moquetts and velvets.
Don't you think it quite foolish for
you to buy anything till you see if
Swindell has it in stock. We will do
you good.
yours truly,
D. T. SWIMUiiLL.
Resolution,
Yesterday morning, after the regu
ular services at the First Presbyteri
an Chnrch, there was a meeting of
i he congregation, at which Messrs.
W. 8. Primrose, Dr. John H. Craw
ford, Prof. W. A. Withers, the com
mittee appointed for the purpose,
presented the following resolutions
expressive of the feelings of the con
gregation relative to the leaving of
Rev. Dr. John S. Watkins:
Whereas, The Rev. John 8 Wat
kins, D. D. , ban resigned as pastor of
this church and his actiou has been
sanctioned by Presbytery, therefore,
be it
Resolved, That in the transfer of
our beloved pastor to another field of
labor, we.the members of this church,
feel that we are about to be separated
from a frieud whose friendship we will
ever cherish. He has been the faith
ful bishop of this church for 184 years
He has baptized our children. He
has buried our dead and his loving
heart has ever manifested a warm
sympathy in all the affect iors of his
flock.
During thiB time the church has
made, decided progress in ever partic
ular. The membership has grown
largely. A mission chapel has been
erected. Ouf church supports a mis
sionary in China. These and all of
the objects of church work are sus
tained willingly by our people, show
ing a healthy spirit of Christian lib
erality. As a minister of the word, he has
always been acceptable, which fact
has been more manifest latterly by
the growing congregations attending
the preaching of the word. Clear in
doctrine, faithful in admonition, bis
preaching has been delivered with a
warmth and earnestness which has
reached tho hearts of his hearers.
His words have always been listened
to with respect and profit.
Although he leaves us, his counsels
will remain and will continue to be a
blessing to our people.
We will part from him with the
deepest affection remaining between
us. Our hearts will go with him to
his new field of labor, together with
our prayers for the Divine blessing to
rest upon him and his family, upon
his labors and ministrations. May
God build him up in health and
strength and add continually to bis
usefulness and happiness.
Respectfully submitted,
W. 8. Primrose,
J. H. Crawford,
W. A. Withers,
Committee.
Adopted by a rising vote of the congregation.
