Dr. Prit chard told his flock Sunday
that he had been advised by his? physi
cians to consult an expert in New York
as to a physical disorder that was
giving him some trouble and that he
was happy to say that the sameclrurch,
the Central, Forty-Second street, whose
pulpit he had supplied last September,
bad invited him to preach there three
Sundays this summer, the last two bun
days in July and the first in August.
and that he should,: therefore, leave for
his vacation after next Sunday. He
also stated that he might attend t,he Bap
tist Young People's Union Convention in
Baltimore, which meets on Thursday of
next week. Dr. Wharton said, in this
connection, that this would be the
largest.- Baptist meeting ever held in
this , country, some 15,000 delegates
having ; already-reported. Every one
would pay their own way. but the- rail
roads would give ronnd trip tickets -for
one fare, and good board coul.4be had
at 91.25 Der day.
Dr. Wharton is to preach the closfng
sermon at the Society of Christian En-r
deavor Convention, - which meets this
week in Boston, and also to take an ac
tive part in the Baltimore meeting.
" Dr. Wharton preached four times-on
Sunday: last, hot as it was, ana aid not
seem at alt fatigued at the end of 'this
hard day's work. At 11 a, m. he held
forth to a crowded house in the Tryon
Street Baptist church: at 3 n, m he ad
dressed a congregation , of some : 2,500
men from the parable of the prodigal
son where he got the title ot - the ser
mon ''from a hog-pen to heaven."- lie
said this parable did not apply to young
men alone; it represented old as welt as

THE COLOBSD PKOPUE's' MKETDTQ
As usual, the brother in black, was
slow in putting ia an appearance, so
that it was after 5- before the service
began. A few.? sentimental pieces of
music were sung by a, select choir, but
that was not what was wanted to warm
up the brethren and sisters, so J)rs
Wharton and Pritchard called for some
old well-known hymns, and in a style
that was enough to wake the dead, the
two thousand present sang, "The Roll
Call at the Judgment" and "Old Time
Religion." Dr. Wharton gave them a
. .: 1 .ii . 1 . 1 . ..
praubiuiu tarn uu me vuristiau race;
Hebrews 12:1-. lie spoke of the wit
nesses that watched the Christian at
home, in the church, in the world, and
with what anxiety Jesus watched the
manner in which professing Christians
ran the race to glory. He mentioned
the many weights and besetting sins he
must lay aside, ana tne need 01 looking
to Jesus for sympathy and help. In the
course of his remarks he spoke of the
broad and narrow way, and sang, stop
ping in nis discourse, as - he sometimes
does; "Broad is the road that leads to
death, and thousands walk together
there. "
A congregation of whites would have
allowed him to sing alone, but not so
these colored people. He had not sung
more than half a line before they took
it up, in a soft subdued tone and sang
it with him. It was really one of the
most beautiful things ever heardi and
Prof. Bush said he would not take five
dollars for just that little snatch of
music. During the whole series of ser
mons he has preached not one was
more striking or which gave better evi
dence of genius than this.
TUB IJlST SEBVICB HELD SUNDAY NIGHT.
This was the largest of all the large
meetings, .very mauy being obliged to
return to their homes, the spacious
room neing crowded to its ' utmost ca
pacity. The preacher took his text in
Acts 10:18: "And many that believed
came and confessed, and showed their
deeds." He described a great revival
at Ephesus, continuing for three years.
under tne preaching 01 1'aul, with the
wonderful effects of proclaiming the
truth. The whole town was stirred up;
great opposition was provoked and
many believed and many did not
Those that did believe confessed Christ
and showed their deeds; they came out
on the side of the Lord; "they gave up
ineir wicked idolatry and burnt their
books of divinationand witchcraft and
took the Gospel as the Ump of their
life.
At the close of the service Dr. Whar
ton thanked the good people of Char
lotte collectively for their-kindness to
mm and bis fellow-laborers. He men
tioned the newspapers, the ushers, the
choir, with special praise, and said that
while he . came to Charlotte with the
distinct understanding that he would
bear all the expenses of the meeting
and pay his and assistants . board be
sides, still, if Dr. Pritchard and the
friends wished to meet these expenses.
as they said they would, all he had to say
in repiy was wnat an 01a .man in Ken
tucay uaeu to say wnen asKea to tatte a
drink: "I m no hand to argue."
A special collection was taken up at
me men s meeting Dy Dr. Krltcbard,
and by a few friends privately, which
met these expenses, amounting to some
$150, and if Dr Wharton could have
seen the bill the Central charged him
and his two friendsreduced -iust one

things he felt it his duty to say in order

now he wished to . know if thev would

" The storms come and the timbers top
ple and as the storm- increases the weak- -
er go down. Also many great oaks fail
with a mighty crash. So it is with'tlmes
like these; the weaker fall. The dead
weights of credit won't bear much shift
ing about. - If there was no credit there
would be very few failures, hut. as It is
they come and we follow ia - the ?wake,
gathering up the best at a dollar valua
tion, place a small profit over what we
pay and let them go and they move with
a whirl, i Selling goods cheap is. what
packs our house with throngsof buyers.
Making our Values make our business

years ago. That is a big' difference"
you say. 'Yea, and it came . out of - the

this reign of terror and opening the way
where one and "all can get- a- dollar's

will say contains pot over 2o;0OO people,
One thing is sure; this grand Jittle-city
supports the greatest retail house in the
South. See' its floor space, its great
stock, its rushing trade, its great num
ber of employees and withal see how
low we sell goods, and you can account
for this wonderful business. Take for
instance our great offer in 2,700 Hats at
25c. There are hats in. the lot well
worth $1.25.; See for yourselves. If you
don't need a' hat now it will pay you to
buy anyway. Prettiest line suspender,
shirts and .handkerchiefs ever. offered
and their are very cheap. The cheapest
line work pants you -ever saw. Dress
goods and carpets are the absorbing
stocks, but all who see the linens buy
for-: the stock is large and the prices
matchless. We have been'too busy to
talk clothing and shoes, but these goods
it has' been the same
go all the time, it has been tne
with many other stocks. Trices move
our great corset stock. See the great
bargains in lamps, . crockery and tin
ware. Nothing said about the match
less values .in gents' underwear and
hundreds of other tempting bargains.
Space is up. Come aad see for your
