FRIDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1889. It 43 bail that Grover Clevelaud will ran for Congress, to succeed Sunset Cox. Corpobal Takneu's Successor is O. B. Baum. Baum wsj at one time Commis sioner of Internal Revenue. AT A recent meeting held by the general committee of the World's Fair, of hew York, $285,000 was raised. Can't some other city beat that ? Ex-Sbkatos Bbccb says there is noth. ing left for his people to do bnt scatter. He hopes they will leave the South. He is right about the great West. There is a lot of room in that country, and they can scat, tervery successfully. TnE Post Office at Lee's Mills has been changed to Roper. Lee's Mills has been the ' Post Office for many years, but as the John L. Roper Lumber Company Lave started a town just below it, they thought the change would be for the good of the . people. The Daily Call, of the 18th, says: On Thursday Gov. Hill, of New York, was introduced by Gov. John B. Gordon to the , Georgia Legislature, and the distinguished 'Visitor made a speech in which he referred to the good feeling between the Northern V.and Southern States. At night the Irish. ' Americans gave a banquet to Gen. Pat. A. Collins, at which Govs. Hill and Gordon Were present. In the speaking, frequent allusions was made to the fitness of Gov. Hill for the Democratic uonti nation for President. Had Grover Cleveland suddenly strode into tbe room, the same crowd would have raised the tiling on the roof with their bhouta ol applause. A dispatch from Murray City, Ohio, cays that ou Tuesday night, Oct. 13th, the bouse of George Washington (colored) was burned to the ground, the excuse being that they want no blacks there. The Beacon takes no pride in putting before its readers such an outrage. Tbe negro, no matter how bl.ick. is free to go to any part of this country to live. Under the constitution aud laws of the United States they are free citizens. Should such an outrage be perpetrated in the South we would denounce it, and we call the attention ot the country to this state of affairs at the North. The News and Observer in speaking of the matter, says: The colored people of North Carolina have a right to go North and locate there, and we enter onr protect against their being accorded different treatment from other citizens. 'I he Constitution invests them with the full privileges of citizenhip and their rights ought not to be denied. Gen eral Sherman, and Senator Khf rtuan, aud Governor Foraker. and Murat Ualstead ought not to pass over the matter lightly ; but they should make the hills and valleys of Ohio rine with their denunciation of this latest outrage against the rights of citizenship. The Fisherman and Farmer gives the following commeut on the churches in North Carolina that go to compose the Virginia Conference : 1 here are nine counties in North Carolina that belong to and are included in that ter, ritory composing tbe Virginia Conference of tbe M. E. Church South Northampton Hertford, Gates. Bertiu, Chowan, Dare. Perquimans, Pasquotank and Currituck. These, properly, should belong to the north Carolina Conference. The State Chronicle says in thesti nine counties there are 7,051 Methodists. They are all North Carolinians. Thy owe political and civil allegiance to North Carolina, bnt in church matters this 7,054 North Carolinians are, for all practical purpose, citizens of Virginia. They build aud support college in Virginia; they take Virginia papers; they are, to coin a word, Virgiuianized in their eochmiastical life. Next to being North Carolinaized, nothing could be better. Bnt in church as well as State. North Carolina claims her children, and there is a determimd purpo. to have Hem if they want "home rule." The transfer of these oonnties iuto tbe north Carolina Conference has been se. riously considered of late and the matter baa elicited the intert-st of the State press to no inconsiderable degree. Tbo Raleigh Christian Advocate answers the strong objection, heretofore made to the transfer by our Virginia fricudj, to the aflvct that the section "traded in Norfolk and because the facilities for getting into cen trial North Carobua have been Very poor." In the years of the past this objection was based nj-oa fact but, now, the Advocate truly fsavs : , The TJoanoke has wen bridged. One t-, -trond already runs directly from North. n-.::p'ou county to Ralt-igh, crowing tha Itcui'ofce at YVeldon; in a mouth or two i'W, UllWUSfr IUIMI Will Lviiiprmu, Will- V, cn wl-ioh a thrwffh t-nio frou jr rp through Gatec, Hen turd aud Bertie crcM-sinc the lio.inoke iinr Lew. :.:; eud oiviin? via Taibom dincLly tr Norfolk to Rak'igli will run daily. This mad is uoW about completed. The railroad from Williamstoa Is beinar extended to EddntOQ. where it connects with another road aud this road rnus rieht through Cur tituck, Camden, Pasquotank, Perquimans, Chowan and Bertie, and this puts them on a direct line to Raleigh and within a day's ride of this city. Thus we see that in a few months now every single covntt in that territory will have dlrtet railroad communication with the capital of our State. The "bridgeless stream" has van- hilled, THE MUCH TALKED-Or MAR. RIAQE. The long talked of marriage of Mr. W. M. Batemau and Miss Josephine Kuowlea, of this county, at tb State Fair, in suits of cotton bagging took place on Tuesday, the l.")th inst. 1 he general procession marched out to tbe grounds and around the race track. stopping in front of the grand stand. When the halt was made, the bridal party drove up to the judge's tand jnst across the track from the grand auditorium. 1 his was the State Fair bride and groom with their attendant. At half past 12 o'clock Mr. S. Otho Wilson, who was chief marshal of the marriage in behalf ot the Farmers' Alli ance, led tbe way up into the judge's otand. He was followed by Mr.' W. M. Batemau, tne groom, leading Miss Josephine Knowles. They wore suits of cotton bagging very neatly made up. That of the groom was relieved by black velvet collar and caffs. The bride's suit was of cotton bagging, very tastily made. It was lined with cream satin and presented beautiful ornamental work iu white silk ribbons- Both wore open bolls of cotton in their hats. The attendants were Mr. R. A Raugh and Miss Floreuce Stevensou, Mr. R. E. L. Yates and Miss .Nellie Partin, Mr. Joseph Dupreo aud Miss Maod Stevenson, Mr, C H Steven, son and Miss Ella Sandcrford. Miss Bate, man, sister of tbe groom, was with tbe attendants. The groomsmen all wore suits of cotton bagging. The bridesmaids wore large fringed sashes of the same material suspended over the shoulder. The party formed a picturesque circle in the stand, the bridal ouple in the centre and facing several thousand people in grand stand just across the race track. Mr. J J Scott, A M. tbe blind Chaplain of the Farmers' Alliance, then came forward and impressively united the couple iu marriage. Among those on the judge's stand during the ceremony were Gov. Fowle, State Auditor Sanderlin, Mr. XV G Upcburch, President of the Fair ; Mr. J lurner Morehead, Mr. Elias Carr, Capt, S B Alexander. Mr. V H Worth. State Business Aeent of tbe Farmers' Alliance, Mr, T L Emery, Chief Marshal Herbert Norri8. of the State Fair and represents, tives of the press. After the ceremony Gov. Fowle formally presented the gifts donated by the people to the bridal couple. He expressed cordial congratulations for himself and for the people, and also ex. pressed gratification at the fight made by tne farmers against tne lute trust and was glad that this occasion showed that "Jute' could not be kin? in North Carolina. He said to tbe conple that this was emphatically their day, and styled the bride the "Queen of the Twenty-ninth Mtate Fair " He con. gratulated her on the beginning of her new life under snch favorable auspices. State Auditor Sauderlin. on behalf of the bride aud groom, received tbe presents in one of his graceful and appropriate talks. At this point a little nirl from the Oxford Orphan Asylum approached the bride and presented her with two handsome brooms made at that institution. Tbe little girl said : "On behalf of the orphans of Oxford, I present you with these two brooms. The smaller one can be used to keep out the little "foxes" which Satan will probably send to call on yon. Tbe larger one can be used to keep the house in order, but we trust you will never have occasion to use it on the groom to keep him in order. May God bless and preserve you is the prayer of tbe Uxford (Jrphan Asylum singing ciaas." This presentation was by little Julia GabrieL Alter tnis the party was gracelully ar. ranged in the stand and a photograph was taken of them. The party then went over the grounds and through the building. The Oxford Orphan Asylum singing class gave them a concert, and a general recep tion was accorded them Also. It is said the bridal presents, which were very numerous and handsome and useful, attracted much attention and formed a maguificent feature of the fair. PATRONIZE HOME Messenger. We know that a small country paper, faithfully edited, is really worth more to tbe county in which it is published and mainly circulates, than a dozen mammoth Northern or Southern weeklies or huge dailies published beyond tbe State. North Carolina needs always North Carolina papers. It has never received justice at the hands of even Southern papers iu other States, But home patronage is not confined to newspapers. 1 he principle has a wide, a sweeping, all embracing application. The people who rush from home to buy everythiug will live and die a poor, depend ent people). Mark that. The people who produce what they consume are the only independent people. This way of going out of the State to procure articles that are produced in the btate is a bad way to build up aud to foster a spirit ol independence. You are not expected to patronize home folks when they are exhorbitant in charges when they practice upon your extortion. Bnt when you can get at home any article at a small advance upon what it cen be procured elsewhere it la not neighborly or sympa. thetie or public spirited to send away for it. Help develop borne industry and home enterprises. That will b found a good rule to work by.

The following artiole is copied from the Baptist Pilot, of Winton, under date of Oct. 8th, by the request of. the members of the Second Baptist church, (colored,) of this place: v Dear Editor: Allow us to make a statement relative to the cause of tha sweond church established la our town. ,' A uumber of us as members of -. New Chapel church, not long since, felt it best for the peace and fcarranny of the Baptists In our town to withdraw by taking our let ters and organizing a second church. We therefore in a body called and asked for our letters, for said purpose. The church said 'hat she would not grant them. We then got together and talked the matter over, and seeing in our opiuiou, it would be better for us to have the second church, we returned and asked for theiu again and they said they would not grant them. We went aca n and they said "no. This was the third time we had asked for our letters We then called a council. A few of the members that were called or Invited came, after examining ns found that we had not invited the New Chapel church, with its pastor, so they said they would not roog. nize us. The Bov. II. L. Bargo, of Bark, ley. said that he would not like for a man calling himself a Baptis t preacher to come in his town and do snch a thing, and there fore would not do anytniug iu the way of recognizing us until we went back and asked for our letters again. He also with the council advised ns if the church would not grant our letters after asking thorn the fourth time, ask them to call a mutunl council, and If they would rot do that, then we must call an exparte council and with it be sure and invite the New Chapel church and its pastor. We asked the fourth time for onr letters aud were denied. We then called an exparte council which met on tbe 30th of July. Our house of worship being too small, it mt at the Court House. They organized Dy electing Itev. I. B. Roach as Moderator aud Rev. J. K. Lamb Secretary. They opened by singing and readiug 43rd Psalm, prayer by ftev. G. W. FUry. The Moderator announced the meeting open. A motion was made that the roll be called aud of the number of churches that were iuvited, four brothers answered. Revs. I. B. Roach, H. L. Barco, K. Lamb and G. W. Flory. They were quite anxious to learn, while examining us, the canse of our w&ntiug to organize the second church. They made the following resolutions : "Whereas we have examined this body of members aud finding them according to what they say to be iu the way of organ, izing the second church, and as they are sound in the faith and doctrine of the Bap. tist church, aud if they are not true we have done all that is necessary for us to do to have others come and prove to tbe con . trary, and as no oue has come up to this Eeriod to prove them wrong and Whereas ere are 47 Baptists who will, if not cared for, leave the denomination, it is our duty to do all there is in our power to save the Baptist church, upon these grounds, there fore. Kesolved, That we, as a Baptist Council, do recognize this body of members that drew out of tbe New Chapel Baptist church for as they have good reasous for withdraw ing, and as the Ziou Baptist church of fly. mouth is in good regular standing we, tborefore, do commend them to all Baptist churches thit are iu go d sUndiug. Resolved. 1 hat we pledge ourselves to do all in our power to show to the public that these members iu our opinion, have done all that was iu their power for them to get their letters " The council then took recess until 3 o'clock. At fifteen minutes after 3 they reassembled. The Moderator read several ot the articles of talth, then the coveuant while we held each other by the right hand, and they said we were then covenanted together as a Baptist church. Rev.H. L. Barco then preached to ns a flue sermon from Jjuse !M:43. lie said that few men were true witnesses for Christ. After prayer the right band of fellowship was given to us by them. We will only say that the world shall see how we net in the future as christians. A Membeu. Sept. 10, '89. A WISE RULE. Among the rales of a livery stable in New York where animals of many wealthy men are kept, are the lol lowing; : "No man will be employed who drinks intoxica ting liquors. No man shall speak loud to any of the horses, or iu the stable where they are. Horses of good blood are nervous, and loud, excited conversation is felt by every horse who hears it aud keeps them all nervous and uneasy. No man shall use profane language in the heariug of horses." It would not be a bad idea if every livery staule adopted these rules. Mow is it in your barn? N. G. Farmer. Tha Salpbur Hprlnga. Robert S. Campbell, In the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, says the discovery of tho peculiar virtue attaching to the Sul phur Springs of Virginia was duo to a striking Incident that has been preserved in his family history. Hia great-grand-uncle, Andrew Lewis, was riaing one day when a snake struck his horse about the fetlock. The venom caused the leg to well, and in order to get remedies to save him he took a short cut home. While passing over tho ground saturated by the spring s water he noticed a secre tion exuding from the wound, which close examination proved to bo poison, it being drawn by tho wator in tho ground. Dismounting ho left the horse for a few hours, at tho end of which the flow ceased and the horse suffered no more from the snake bite. Tho property which the water possessed, In common with liquor, caused the rumor to go forth that the ground was soaked with whiskey, the idea that a snake antidote must possess intoxicating qualities being very popu lar. ThPttIptt and the Stag. Rev. F. M. Shrout, Pastor United Breth ren Church, Blue Mound, Kan., says: "I feel it my duty to tell what wonders Dr. King's New Discovery has done for me. My Lungs were badly diseased, aud my parishioners thought I could live only a few weeks. I took five bottles of Dr. King's New Discovery and am sound and well. gaining 20 pounds in weight." Arthur Love, Manager JUive's f unny Folks Combination, writes: ''After a thor ough trial aud convincing evidence, I am -confident Dr. King's Now Discovery for Consumption beats era ail. anl cures when everything else fails. Tne greatest kind ness X can do my nrtuy thousand friends i s to urge them to try it." Freo trial bottles at J. W. Bryau'a Drugstore. Regular sizes ftOu and $1.00.
