Francis Womack "The insurance Man" f A Long and Fruitful Pastorate. On fj'atarcay. July 5, . 1S78, R37. David Irvin Craig arrived in R&ids pille and cn tba following day preach ed his first sermon as pastor of ths Preabvterian chnrcii. Tin first Sun day in Jaly just passed ha referred to bis long pastorate in feeling, terms and, presented some factj of iatere?t net only to hia congreaaticn bus to tba cciaaiunity in general. He read the names of these who have diel daring his ministry of thirtf-fiv? yearj, thus calling op many sacred memories of thoae "lovd long' since and lost awhile. Tha complete roll of the church from the beginning shows 552 names, of which 511 have been added daring Dr. Craig's pasto rate. One hundred and twecty-nine (12'J) of this number have died daring the o5years; 212 have been dismissed toother churches, transferred, etc.: 211 are now on the roll. The above facts show that the year ly average addition to tha church fcr 33 years baa been 14 3-5, and the aver age yearly loss has been about 9 3-5. Few charchaa have sn5e:a-l so great a loss bv death and remoyaL Dr. Craig's flock while comparatively few in numbers are stroug in their ioyalty and zeal, and the outlook ia vry ea-j couraging.

Southern pas senger train No. 15.. on which Secre tary of State Bryaa and Senator Lake Lea were coming to Asherille, ran over and almost iastaotly killed Miss Annia E. Williami. of Gainesriile.

Davis, the Scperinter. dect of the North Carolina Acti-Sa-loon League, may well feel secure that h8 stanca instilled in the opinion of all fair minded people in North Caro lina, and the declaration of Judge Cocke, who heard the case in all its de$ail3, that he would have voted fur a verdict cf cot guilty, is conclusive avidesce of hit innocence which will be accepted by the people of the State. TLe charge againit Mr. Davis is that while Mr. Straaghan, and De tective Green, whom Mr. atraugban had struck, following tba hearing in the Cnappell case, were engaged in conflict, Mr. Davis struck straaghan over the head with the bottle of whisker which bad figured in the casd. Detective Green declares that ha strnck Mr. Straaghan with a rjair of brass knacks and that Mr. Davis tosk no part in tha fight. Mr. Davis declares be did net strike Mr. Strangh aa. The , testimony cf Mr. Davis is accepted by the fair minded people, for he is a man of recognized verac ity. Tha fight on Mr. Davis, we believe, is not a fight on .the man, bat because of his activity as superintendent cf the Anti-rialcca League. .The juiy has said gnilry, while Jnd-ge Cooke, wiiO presided, said that as a jurcr he wczli have said '"'not gniity." The law has carious qnips and tare?, and it 'would seem that the court could have set t Vc vcPxr-. no'r V rr - i a t i i The verdict is felt to be a travesty ! I oc justice, it cot feeing believed' that ! the testimony was such as to warrant aut such, finding, and it is the confi d3st belief that the final result will be the complete vindication of Mr. Davis. That new evidence fully eon firining his testimony and that of De tective Oreea is reaiy. but adds to the strength, of the defense, which was strong enough already. Mr. Davis i may feel assured that people without i bias believe in him and his tostimcny, ' an i 5haS thAy -feel he-has been made victim of testimony in a case in which lid is innocent.

In order to salve the problem which confronts Col. Watts, the newly ap pointed Collector for the West, and which will confront Jo?iah William Eailey. of Raleigh, when, in a few days he is appointed as Collector for the East, and finds that the only par sons eligible for appointment as de puties are the Kepabltcan deputies new holding office, it has been arrang ed to have the Civil Service commis sion hold examinations to provide a lits of Democratic eligible, on Angost lf, at Winston-Salem.

Whin- Colonel Watts aet oat to in. fcrm himself as to who he could ap point as deputies ' he found that the oclrperaons eligible were present dep ot i who had already taken the Civil Service examination. This effectively blocked a plan to aopulact theaa long-time office holders with good Democratic party workers and considerable time was devoted to- seek ing a way to evade this rule. It has now been found that Watts is at liberty to appoint as temporary deputies who ever he chooses. "As soon as J take up my dutieSj I icten l to appoint a number cf sood Democrats as temporary deputies," said Colonel Watts today, "and about the first one will be N. L. Cranford, of Winston-Salem.

"Washington special to AVicstop- Salem Journal." Tobacco Probe. The Imperial Tobacco Company, the so-called tobacco trnst in Kentucky, has pauperized hitherto prosperous towns in the tobacco belt, according to tsstiraecy of A. E. Jarvis, an in depedent of Henderson, before the Ccngressiunal tobacco commission at Washington Friday. Not enly were toe growers at the mercy of the "trust, " he declared, but what few factories were going had been rented by the "trust" at its own prices. "For the last three years I have practically known the prices at which car tobacco in the Hencerson district would sell for and did sell fcr, long in advance of a pound being scld, de clared Jarvis. "I cannot tell yoa the scarce of my informatiorn. for I nroicised to keep i jthat a secret; j bel'ieve the price of j oar tobacco was fixed by the represen- .tatives of the Imperial company and ,of tte ialiaa government at Rfch- ,mond, Va., before they began bnying I have never seen the Imperial and the Italian buyers com pete for a single ponnd of tobacco." Mr. Jarvis held out little hope for better prices for dark tobacca grow ers. He said the Imperial wa3 using this grade of tobacco to drive the in dependent British manufacturers out of business and hence little prcflt was made by any one on it. "The flue cured tobacco of South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia is a profit ma king tobacco.and although the farmers may be content with the prices they are getting if the Imperial had compe tition in this country.the prices wonld be higher,'' be declared. Champion Egg Eater. Georgia has ccme forward as a candidate for the lienor cf being the natal State of the greatest egg eater in tbe world, and lias challenged the various northern States which becanae of recent Gargantuan contest have claimed these laurels. The champion fried egg eater of the world, according to the claims of Georgians, was Mike Hair, late resi dent of Miller county, who died two years ago bat from natural causes not connected with eating eggs. He lived on a plantation of Judge C. a Bosh. Mike ia said to hare eat en 75 fried eggs at a sitting. At an other time, while bia wife was sick, a neighbor presented the family with a roasted thoat weighing 40 pounds. Witnesses say that Mike consumed half -the shcat amounting to twenty pounds of meat with deduction for the benes. for his dinner that day. Ancther Miller county resident.

He said, however, he would make a rec ommendation within a week, the post office department having requested the Fifth District Congressman rp name a man within that time. The friends of J. T. Oliver did not get much encouragement while here in the interest of the Reidarille man's candidacy for the poamasteisbip. Some cf them seem to think that OR. ver may get a recess appointment and thes evade the opposition of Senator Simmons, who, it ia said, baa cot changed his mind in the slizhtest de cree. Bat unless Postmaster General Burleson changes his mind, the receia appointment will be impossible.; High officials at the postcSce department say that Oliver's name will not te sent to the President as long as Sim mons opposes him. If they maintain tbis attitude the recess appointment would be an imrcssbility. Parker R. Andersen in Greensboro News". Monument to Be Unveiled to Pi oneer Caswell Preacher.

When ia a county officer, from tbe sheriff dewn to township constable, off duty? is a question that is to be determined by the Supreme Court in cases going ep from thia county. Recently Recorder Furlong held that an otficsr has not the right to carry a pistol coacealei when he H off daty. Then -came tbe question with Sheriff Cowan aa to when he is off daty and when te is not. The law does not specify the number of hours that he :a to be cn dnty. A strict construction ct the Recorder's decision would limit tbe right of the county officers to carry pistols to the actual time that they have in tbeir possession papers to be served. Sheriff Cowan consulted sev eral attorneys and they Informed him that the point had never, been passed upon by the Sapreme Court. So Sheriff Cowan has tad warrants I.Mced against himself, bia two deputies and the con stable of Wilmington, Lost Leg While Asleep. Spencer, Jaly 1 1.
