Many arc Sflent bat ImpresHtve Teachers of Most Important Troths. Tlie following is a brief history of the beautiful windows in the Augs burg Evangelical Lutheran church.all of which were donated as memorial windows and are strictly Protest ant in their teachings: In the North end of the house are a pair of windows, intended to be silient eemlnels, commanding all in the audience to "resist the devil and he will flee from them." The one Is donated by the W II. and F. M. Con vention of the E. L. Synod of North Carolina and shows a woman's head, with a helmet on, and the sentence or text "Take the belmer. of Salvation." The other is donated by the Board of Church Extension of the North Caro lina Synod. The design in this win dow is a red cross.suchas Constantine, theGreat, thought he saw in the clouds, and a sword, with the text, "And the sword of the Spirit," which Is the word of God. This is St. Paul's warn ing to the followers of Christ. Eoh. fi:17. A large triple window, in the West gable, p-esents another warning to the congregation. It is St. Paul at Athens, rebuking idolatry. There the peon.e spent their time in nothing else than either to tell or hear some thing new. Acts 17:34. There are many Athenians In every city, hence the appropriateness of this design. This is a very fine window and Is do nated by "the Lutherans In Elkln, . C." Opposite this, in the East gable, Is The Good Shepherd" window: the design based upon Psalms 23:1-2. The art displayed la this window is to oe admired. This elegant triple window s donated by the Sunday School of this congregation. It represents the sacrifice of every person connected with this Sunday School; as it Is paid for by their free will offerings. This s a silent monitor to every one wno worships in this hous?, urging them to be content to rest under the care od guidance of our Saviour. Near this, in the East side of the house, is mother pair of windows, he one donated by Col. J. A. Bitting In honor of his grand-parents Bitting's, who were members of the first Lutheran congregation in this country. J. he design in this is the anchor, the emblem of hope, which grace was so prominent in the lives of the early German settlers. The other window s donated bv Frleden's E. L. church Gibsonville, N. C. The design In this is a beautiful harp. This congregation had been in a state of unholy con fusion among themselves and Pastor Lutz went among them as a peace maker, and returned with money enough to put a window In the church. This silent monitor says to the church member: Cease to have confusion among yourselves, but praise God with your voice and your hands In the West side of the house is an other pair of windows. The donors are two ladies. The one is donated in honor of that good woman, Ursula Cotta, the foster mother of the lad, Martin Luther. Luther's father was very poor, and could not give hia son enough to pay his school expenses at Eisenach, wnen ijutner was i years old he and many of his schoolmates were compelled to sing, at night, be fore the doors of the citizens of Eisenach to gather their food. In the winter of 1497-C8, while be was thus begging his daily bread, they sang be fore the door of Conrad Cotta, in Eisenach. The night was very cold and the ground covered with tnow. While they were singing, the door opened, and Ursula Cotta took this lad by the band and drew him into her house, out of the cold, saying: "It is a pity to have so sweet a voice cracked by this cold." The boy, get ting to a good ere, soon reu asieep, and this kind woman gave him a bed on the floor. While looking at the sleeping form she resolved to give him a home and board hira while he was there in school. Thus she became the foster mother of the great reform er. The designin the window is the cross, the anchor, the crown and an open Bible with the motto, "Faith, Hone and unarity, on a scron. The other is donated in honor of Gustavus Adolphus, king of Sweden, and hero of Protestantism, who In the year 1530 went out at the head of 20,000 brave men to rescue the perish ing cause of tne irotestants in uer many. For sixteen years the Roman powers bad oeen making navoc oi tne cities, towns and estates of the Protestants, tie oeg&n every day Dy singing Luther's battle hymn, "A Mighty fortress is oar ioa," reaaing the Bible and prayer: then they sang a hymn composed by himself. At Breitenfelt, September 17, lodl. he de feated the imperial general Tilly, The next year be met the great war rior and imperial commander wailen stine, at Lutzen, ard defeated bim, thus gaining freedom and tolerance for the cause or Protestantism, tie fell in battle, mortally wounded, but the cause for which be fought still lives. The design in this window is the royal crown and the cross. In the East tower is a very fine window, put In by the noble little band of women In the congregatlrn who constitute the W. H. & F. M. Society. - , . In the West tower Is a window equally fine, placed there by the Luther League of the congregation. In the first the design is a cross and a orown; while in the second It Is the unchained Bible lying open. The finest window, as to design, material, art and workmanship, la the window in the front or South end of the church. In the center stands the life-size figure of Jesus Christ, looking down upon the worshipers. On His right is the great reformer. Dr. Martin Luther, at the Diet at Worms, tittering that remarkable sentence: "Here I stand, upon t he Word of God. 1 cannot do otherwise. God heln me. Amen." .This cut him off from anv further hearing from tbe Roman Catholic church. On the left-! of Christ stands that disciple and scholar, Phillip Melancthon, whom God raised up to be the true friend of Luther, and wbo wrote tbe Augsburg confession and presented it In Latin and German before the Diet at Augs burg. In the Sunday School library room are two windows, donated by an ap preciative friend, In honor of three mn, who donated s valuable library to the Suodav school. Name of don ors not. made public. In the Sachritz is a window donated in honor of Rev Samuel Rothrock, D. D . who took part la the laying of the corner 6tone The chandelier, pulpit, lecturn, altar and clock were all donated by kind friends. "THE TWIN SISTKRS."

Tbe music furnished from the tambourines and other musical instruments ex hibited both skill and talent rbe various parts were well taken and creditably rendered, but Misses Lizzie Taylor and liertrude uoooins, The Twin sisters," deserve special mention.

Charlie Branch, a well-known print er of Charlotte, died in that city this week under peculiarly sad circum stances. A year or two ago some mean, contemptible sneak gave Mr. Branch a drink of hartshorn, pretend ing tbat it was whiskey, and the result was tbat his throat was bo bad ly affected that it was found necessary to place him in an Atlanta hospital for treatment. A tube bad to be placed In his throat through which he could receive food and drink, and in this manner he spent tbe remainder of bis time until death relieved him of his unpleasant condition on Mon day.

J WINSTON TOBACCO MARKET. Tbe Tobaooo Journal's Review for tbe Week Eodinjr April 20th. There was a very limited quantity of tobacco offered on the Winston market during tbe past week, and with single sales the selling did not last longer than tbe middle of tbe afternoon each day. Poor stock again predominated. Prices on tbe better grades were as high as usual, and that means pretty still ngures, wniie lows grades were "almost without friends," as one of the dealers expressed it. Tbe manufactured tobacco business continues good. Shipments this week were quite heavy, as indeed they have been for the last two months, but we understand tbat collections are not altogether satisfactory at present The sale of revenue stamps for this week were as follows: Monday No sales Tuesday 3.188 94 Wednesday 2,246,28 Thursday 2.404 84 Friday 2.570 43 Saturday 2,188 88 Total. .12,597 37 lOO Bitot In His Hip and Lea.

A Company OrKanad in London to Develop Them. A Newark (N. J.) telegram says tbat William E. Hidden, of that city, who returned from London on the Lucanla last Saturday, went abroad on March 6th to complete contracts in North Carolina. These Interests were capitalized while Mr. Hidden was in London for $200,000 and a company was formed, called the Piedmont Mineral Com pany, limited, of London. Mr. Hid den was made director of the company and was appointed the American manager, to have full cbarge of tbe company's property and interests in this country. Mr. Hidden savs tbat tbe new com pany owns 2,600 acres of valuable mineral lands in be mountains of North Carolina and also owns all the mineral rights in another tract of 1,000 acres. The principal mineral to be mined Is gold, rich deposits of wbich exist on one tract, which is 66 miles East of Asheville.

Uncle Henry, an old negro with a family of 12 or 15 children, whose whole available house room consists of one little cabin and wbo is hard put to it to live, called on one of his Democratic neighbors (they always call on them except about election time) to borrow 82 to tide bim over till he could sell bis sassafras oil. He offered to give a mortgage ou his cow, but as It was before the Supreme Court had made its ruling the white man explained the situation. "The Jig is up with all that, Uncle Henry." "What's de mattah, boss?" It was again explained. "Well, fo' do good Lawd,"said Uncle Henry. "Now, that comes of electing such a set of ignoramuses as you voted for," the wblte man put in. Uncle Henry rolled his eyes. "Say, boss; dey wan't all as ignant as dese from dis county, wuz dey?" Tbe Democrat had to admit that the average was as bad even as those from Guilford. The Cigarette Machine Salt. From todays Danville Register. J Tbe inference some may have drawn from the item In yesterday's Register in the case of tbe American Tobacco Company against W. F. Smith, of Winston, that Smith's only defense is tbat the American is a tru.t, is erron eous. Smith claims that the Briggs cigarette machine, which he uses, is not an infringement on the Bonsacks and other machines used and con trolled by tbe American, but an ad ditional defense is. as stated, tbat the American, being a trust, in violation of law, is not entitled to protection. Tbe depositions taken here bore only upon this latter point. Tbe case will come up before Judge Simonton early In May. Tbe R St 8. Reorganization The Roanoke World says: "It now seems probable tbat tbere will be a reorganization of the Roan oke & Southern. The Norfolk & Western defaulted on the interest and tbe bondholders are taking steps to protect their holdings. Three fourths of the bonds have already I been deposited with the Mercantile XTUSt uompany, or .Baltimore, ana that institution advertises that no bonds will ber received after May 1st, except upon such terms as tbe Trust Company may elect. It is believed tbat tbe reorganization will take tbe road out or the bands or the i. & w. receivers." Texas Crops in Bad Condition. Austin, Tex., April 18 Deplorable accounts of tbe condition of crops are received from all parts of this section of tbe State as a result of tbe un precedented dry winter and spring.

THE WINSTON MAN WON BUT HE WAS GIVEN A BOGUS CHECK By a Wilkesbnroite A Game of Poker May Create a Big Sensation A Greensboro Man Mad. A scurvy trick was played on a Greensboro gentlejaan the other week and under tto circumstances he is justified in shooting somebody, says the Record. During Federal Court there is al ways a big crowd of people in attend ance from other places, and some of them are fond of a game of poker. This last court was no exception atitl a Wilkesboro and a Winston man kept the busines-j up at a lively rate, tbe Winston man coming out ahead; but the loser, not having the ready cash on band, gave bis check for $20. The Winston man wanted his mon ey, so he went out and found one man who knew him and who was wlllingto Identify him at the bank. Identifying one at this day means endorsing tbe check. Ths the Greensboro man did willingly, but to his credit, be It said, be didn't know that the check was iu payment of a gambling debt. The money was obtained and the check was sent on for collection, but came back protested, with $1.50 pro test fees attached. There was nothing for the Greens boro man to do but pay the $20 and fees, which be did, and gent it to the Winston man the party whom he identified but It came back with an other protest. As a last resort he sent it to a law yer In Wllkesboro for collection and if it is not paid tbere Is likely to be great fun, for the Greensborolte is getting red in tbe face and declares he will have interesting reading for the public unless be gets bis money back. All the parties are prominent men In tbeir localities and an exposure will create a sensation. SAM SMALL RESIGNS As Managing Editor of the Norfolk Pilot Reason for It. Rev. Sam W.

The supposed estate consists of eignty-six acres of land fronting on the Battery and extend ing upon what is now Broadway. The land was secured by Robert Ed wards from King George I. In 1770 Robert Edwards leased the land to the English Government, and soon after died. His nephew and name sake succeeded to tbe estate. This second Robert Edwards, during tbe Revolutionary war, made a second lease to the English Government for ninety-nine years The heirs claim ohe property should revert to them, as the leases have expired. The Sentinel is Informed that there were three Edwards brothers who came to this country from Eng land. One settled In New York, one la Pennsylvania and the third in Chatham county, N. C. The New York brother (owner of the estate) returned to England and died. He left no heirs, except the two brothers, who died many years ago. Several descendants from the Chat ham county brother are residents of Forsyth and Guilford counties. Amcng the number being Messrs. George Ed wards, and W. A. and David Walker, of Winston. If the large New York estate is ever divided among the living, the descend ants in this section hope to come in for their share. A ROW ON A TRIAN.

ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO., 108 Wall St., N. T. THE FUSION SCHOOL TAX. A Special Levy to be Voted for at tbs Next Election. Tbe last Legislature passed an Im portant act relative to tbe public schools, requiring the question of local taxation for public education to be voted upon at tbe next election for members of tbe Legislature, blennally thereafter by each township, city and town not already levying a special tax for schools. This special levy to be voted on Is 20 cents on the $100 of property, and 60 cents on each poll. The original bill, which applied to every county, was amended so tbat fifty-six counties were excepted, thus leaving the act in force in the counties of Akxinder, Beaufort, Bladen, Burke, Cabarrus, Caldwell, Carteret, Cherokee, Clay, Dare, Davidson, Davie, Duplin, Gas ton, Graham, Guilford, Harnett, Haywood, Henderson, Jacksou, Macon, Madison, Mitchell, Montgom ery, Orange, Pamlico, Pender, Polk, Rutherford, Stanly, Stokes, Surry, Swain, Tyrell, Washington, Watauga, Wayne, Yadkin and Yancey. Wherever this special tax will be voted it will greatly increase tho efficiency of tbe public schools, and it is probable tbat tbe people will vote tbe tax in a number of the counties named. There was already a law al lowing tbe county commissioners, upon petition of one third of tbe f ree bolders, to order an election to levy a peclal tax or 10 cents on property and 30 cents on polls, but the new law re quires the election, without petition, nd lor twice the amount of special tax.
