In young manhood he joined the Associate Reformed Presbvte- nan church at Perth ia Iredel county; but later in life, while a res ident of the State of Mississippi, he joined the Methodist, Episcopal Church South, in which he contin ued until his death. Of his eavly Christian life I cannot speak, not being iaformed in regard thereto. But L am informed that during his residence in Mississippi ae ieaa an active Christian life.serv ing his church both as "steward and Sunday school superintendent. Since coming to Statesville, he has not been so active m church work, nor so constant in his attendance upon the services of his church. HaviDg received at some time a se rioMis hurt, which left him with per manent injuries, aod beiug diligent in business during the week days, when the Sabbath came he usually felt that he had not sufficient strength to .enable him to attend Divine worship at his own church, but when attending church at all, went to the Associate Reformed Presbyterian church which was near by.

LU.i. 1 "as uuo buu otjim goo-i service in its efforts to cause the property of the big corporations tobe placed on the tax list, at a fair valuation. What the News aud Observer has done for the State every county pa per can do for its own county and action The evidence taken in the railroiia taxation cases before Speci at master Shepherd proved conclu sively i hat there was no concerted action to listproperty for less than its true cash value except by the big corporations; but th!e evidence showed that there are manv cases, all over the State, where other pro perty is not listed at a fair valua tion, as the law says it shail be. And much property escapes taxa tion, entirely. As a rnie the property of the small f.mner' and others who own but lilt 1 ' property, is listed for tax ation for all it is worth. It is the large farms and the town property that are valued too low. The testi mony of Mr. George P. Bursrwvn. of our county, and others before J udge Shepherd proves this state ment. The cash sales of land and other property in Northampton duriDg the past two years, in manv instances. have heen much above the tax valu ation, ia some instances it was valu ed for taxation at about one third of the amount it sold for at cash sales. In some other cases land has sold for less than it was listed for taxation. The fault has not been on the part of the property owners. There nave been but verv few instances where our property owners have complai'u-d of over valuation. We take it that every man is willing for his prop ;rry to be listed at a fair valuation in other words to bear his just share of the burdens of tax ation. It is not riffht. thouch. for part of our people to pay taxes on property at its true cash value while those rn.ire able, and- perhaps will ing, pay only on a part. . I he j nnes hopes to soon present some wcls and figures that will cause an investigation that will re sult in a more uniform valuation of property in Northampton as well as increasing the amount of taxes with-i out inerv.asinir the rate As the News and Observer says in aa edi torial we copy elsewhere, there is no need for the State to issue bonds if all the property in the State is list ed at its ! rue cash value.

The Carrie Na tion idea is not carried out altogeth er, but oa Monday night Mrs. Ozero Lewis dt-m Viished one saloon with stones and old bottles. Last night another woinrn took another course, saying that if every woman would see to it that her husband keeps a way from these places the saloons would so.m have to quit business. She is a woman of large proportions, and, procuring a board, made a clap board of it and went to the saloon. She found her husband with half a dozen oher men seated about a card table with a glass of beer in front of him. , She grabbed her husband by the neck and, -seating herself in a chair, pulled hi m across her lap, face down, aud applied the clapboard vigorous ly. The husband made a feeble ef fort to get up, but found the wife much the stronger. After tiring of the clapboard the irate wife took her husband by the ear and led him to the other saloons and warned him always to remain away from them and then went home. Three other women lead their husbands from the saloon by the cars. Mining Active in this State.
