It would teem, thongh a man had at one period of hi life been guilty of a crimi nal offease that if hla own people con done it and elevate him to high p'ace it it no part of the business of hie associates to reach back into his past and deny him 1 hit '. rights - among them on account of an v offense committed . before he became one of them.

She -was a member of the Becond Presbyterian church of c,n lumbia ana was churched for working an . nour on Sundays. She ap pealed her case to the Pres- oytery where it was argued for her by Rev. J W. Flinn and against her by Rev. G. A. Blackburn, and vestardav's newt it that the Presbytery, Thursday night, sustained the church and downed the telephone girl by a vote of 20 to 8. It vrould be interestlng,to know on which aide Dr. Woodrow voted. The case will be appealed to the Synod . It is not for at to lay that the Presbytery was wrong, but its decision appears to be rather a hard one in view of the fact that we are all more or less miserable sinners. The South, as a whole, as well as the tecurlty-holdars of the Richmond & Dan ville Railroad immediately, Is to be con gratulated upon the fact that Drexel? Morgan & Co.liave consented to under take the re-organization and rehabllita tion of this property and its leased lines They will set the system on its feet and enable it to become even a more powerful far-tnr th.n it hat been in the upbuilding of the South. It is a inlenHlri most be that it has been mismanaged at headquarters or It would not have be 4 come embarrassed as It now is. Some of itt branch lines are non productive, are even an eipense to It; but as a whole It it a property of great possibilities ' and thould now be paying a handsome Inter est upon the legitimate investment. - It ta matter for regret that the Presl . deninW not tee hit way clear to ap point Bon.

The advance or tne price of ice over what It was latt year and the year before is a very small one, and was made for tho season. it is not my intention to start a small ice factory in Charlotte, but to put up one of sufficient capacity to supply the entire demand of the city of Charlotte and the surrounding territory. The orders for a good portion of this machine have already been given, and it will be erected just as soon as a sufficient supply of water can be found. In the mean time, we have got to have the ice from somewhere, and we propose to buy it wherever we can get it tho cheapest. Yours, very respectfully, Wm E. Wokth. Wilmington, N. C , April 11, 1803. The "a-nuie neni' about this matter is all with Mr. Worth the ice buyers of Charlotte are not ticklid a bit. The price of ice at other places is a matter that is hardly pertinent to the present discussion the one point that the Ob skrveh made is that the price of ice iu Cbarlutte this year has been advanced over the price that prevailed last year, and Mr. Worth sustains this statement. That is the only thing the people here are interested in not the whys and wherefore. It is understood here, for instance, that a good deal of money was lost last year in sinking a well for an ice factory, Bomc estimating the cost of the well as high as $9,000, but the people of Charlotte have nothing to do with that. As to gitting water here for an ice fac tory, we apprehend that, with streams all around the city, there should be no trouble on this score, but it Is not the Ooskuveu's business to undertake the settlement of that question. Its duty is done when .it rivets attention upon the fact that the peop'e of Cbailot e In an tge when the tendency Is toward the cheap ening of products of all kinds,are paying more fcr ice this year than they did last.

He has declared that he has attained his majority and hat assum ed the government of the country. The arrests were made at a grand ban quet given at the palace to celebrate King Alexander's success in passing the examinations prescribed for Servian stu dents. At midnight, while the festivities were in progress, the king proclaimed that he had attained his majority and had, with hit Skupshan, assumed the govern ment of the country. When the deposed regent! aad minis ters heard the proclamation they were dambfounded. The king and his advisers acted promptly and the soldiers in wait ing placed the regent! and ministers un der arrest. The army is loyal to the king. Long before daybreak the king pro ceeded to the barracks, where he was received with joyous acclamation! and expressions of loyalty. A new ministry was appointed with M. Daketch as prime minister. This morning the king issued a decree dissolving the Skupshan and writs for a new election have been sent to the va rious constituencies. The act of Alexander appears to meet with the approval of the populace. Refused to Bedeem Defaced direr Dol lar.. Wabiiinuton, April 14.
