DISAGREE ON 2 POINTS
Rev. W. D. Hubbard, of the Taber

View of Miracles and, , -

The sermon preached by Rev. Dr.
A. A. Marshall last Sunday on the sub
ject of Christian science has excited
much comment . and ' discussion
throughout city and last, night the
tonic at tho- regular Wednesday even
ing- prayer meeting in the Baptist
Tabernacle was largely tins tneme in
which several speakers expressed a
view antagonistic to Dr. Marshall's po
sition ou the subject of miracles and
of prayer, v
Rev. W. D. Hubbard, the pastor of
the Baptist Tiiberoacle, read from the
twelfth chapter of Romans, and based
his talk on the . first and second
verses of the chapter rending: I be

tude on the subject of miracles and
in regard to answering prayer. He ex
pressed his high regard and love for
l)r Marshall and said tlint on that
very afternoon he had called on Dr.
Marshall and had a friendly talk with
him on the subject. Mr. Hubbard said
he inquired if Dr. Marshall hud been
correctly quoted in his sermon and Dr.
Marshall assured him that his position
was. correctly stated, namely, that the
power of working miracles, which was
given by (iod in apostolic times had

that, those laws were hui "'
gated in specific instances, but that
fha ulipnnmenn.s which (iod.. wrought
came through his fixed laws. To this
view Mr. Iiubbn.ru expresseu ins iu-
sent. .
. The second point on which the pas
tor of the Tabernacle does not agree
with the paster of the irst Baptist
church, is prayer. Dr. Marshall said
in his" sermon that God did not an
swer prayers for the sick through tne.
whilwind of miraculous cure, but i"

that next Sunday, morning he would
preach from the text, "Set, for the de

NEW CONVICT CAMP
MttMcMackin will Put up
New Tents on Holleman
Road.
SNUG WINTER QUARTERS
Tents Large and Commodious and
Cost $375. Remarkable Health
Record. Work on Hills-
boro Road.
Within less :than three weeks the
read force of Wuko county will be in
a new camp with brand new tents and
the very best equipment.
Road Supervisor V. C. McMackin
said today that he. would, upon the
arrival of the new tents, move the
camp to the Hicks place on the Holle
mnn road, three miles from Raleigh,
and this will be the winter quarters.
The new tents are of the very best
material obtainable, and will afford
abundant accommodation for the pris
oners and the horses. Ihe two tents
will be 17 feet in height and 0x70 feet
in width and' length.
The canvass used is heavy and dur
able and eost. $375 for tli two. The
tents have flys attached and the re
cord of the supervisor shows that the
health of the prisoners has been bet
ter "when, quartered in tents than in
buildings. The tents are warm and
comfortable .and throughout the se
vere cold weather last winter even not
a case of frost bite or cold hurt oc
curred. Mr. McMackin says that the
health of the prisoners for the past
eighteen months has been unequaled.
There are now forty prisoners on' the
roads and 8 teams are used. A guard
is used to every 10 or 12 men.
The road force is now quartered be-
vond Whitaker's mill, on Crnbtree.
When the new tents arrive and are
erected upon the new site, the old
tents will be stored away tor summer
use; this will be a saving to the coun
ty as tents, like everything else, are
saved by overhauling and rest.
Mr. MucMuckin says that after this
shower he will put a squad on the
Ilillsboro rc:ul and get it in first clasp
shape before Fair week. Mr. Mc
Mackin points out that, it is the dry
weather niid not the nun winch dam
ages the macadamized roads, and it is
useless to work on them m excessive
ly dry weather. The loose stones on
the Ilillsboro road will be removed and
any holes properly fil'icd Jn.

494 MARRIAGES
-.'.v .:. - .' !r :
TK's Year a Record Brer for. but
Capt. Hood will Increase the
V ' Number.
The fiscal year for the officials of
YA'iko comity runs from Xovember"i2th
to November .latllpf the succedi"'
venn-mul although, the year is riot-
yet out, tho number ot marriage
censes issued thus far has exceeded
the lctnnis for any entire twelve
months lif the past. During the year
ending November 12th, IS'!'.). Register
of Deeds Hood issued 444 marriage, licenses,-'while
up to October 1st, J'.KHI.
he has already issued 4'J4, just
more than in the previous year and he
still has some live weeks Icit in -unit..
to increase this majority.
Now Capt. Hood calls upon .all. eli
gible people, young or old, in Raleigh
anil vicinity, to help him out in this
worthy ambition that on the twelfth
day of next November Wake county
may proudly hoa.st of (il)O marriages
in the. year, which would loiati
eclipse anything in .the past. This ap
peal is personal and it is hoped for
the sake of Ca.pt. Hood and this grand
old county, that, each and every
bachelor will contribute to this glo
rious result.
The suggestion has been -made to
Captain Hood, and he is understood to
regard the idea with favor, that a. sys
tematic canvass of the county be made
and all the licenses possible sold. The
only drawback to this plan is tho re
fusal of ( apt. Hood to cut the price.
He still insists on $3, and refuses to
sign his name if only $2.07 is imked
in his direction, hcvcral Kaicigh. men
have become interested, however, and
arc anxious to assist Captain Hood in
his record-breaking ambition, and the
mutter of raising a campaign fund for
the promotion of matrimony is under
discussion. If some enterprising citi
zens will raise a. f-'nit"le fund (-"'.
Hilly Hood can make licenses a bar
gain for the next few weeks, otfermj:
them at $:i.7j and -drawing the remaining-
quarter from the general cam
paign fund. This will be of inestima
ble assistance to ('apt. Hood in. the
canvass in the interest, of matrimony,
which he will institute.
Capt.llood also is thinking of invit
ing several distinguished lecturers to
appear here n.ud speak on "How to Get
Married." The names of these lectur
ers will be published as rapidly as
they consent to speak here.

STRIKE AT HAW RIVER
Operatives Demanded that the

The Greensboro Telegram says: "It
seems that there is to be no ending
of the trouble among the cotton mill
operatives in this State. Since the or
iru.iiimt.icii of labor unions among the
employes of North Carolina mills there
have been strikes at a numuer in
places, the latest, disturbance being re
ported from Haw itiver, where all the
mills are shut down.
"From reports received here it. lip-
pears thut the operatives were the ag
gressors iu tne matter, ii is siuu. nun.
the employes of one of tne nuns at
that, place becnme dissatisfied with
their superintendent and demanded
that he lie discharged.
'The management rcfuseil to nceeda
to the demand, and as a result, ihe
operatives walked out. - The employes
of the other mills went out through
sympathy for their fellow workuwu. .
resulting in shutting down the three
Haw 1'iver mills.
Practically all the Haw River cot
ton mill operatives are members of a
union, and strong unions also exist at
Graham. Burlington and other places
in Alamance county. The other unions
are talking of taking, up the Haw
