Information has been furnished us that the male members of the Baptist ohurch, who have been conducting re ligious services in various parts of our city, have purchased and paid for the lot on Long wharf on which the old shed has stood for so many years in the past. In this part of our city there is no convenient plaoe dedicated to God's service where His people oan assemble together to offer unto Him their tribute of praise for the blessings His bounty daily bestows upon them, and as we learn it U the intention of these breth ren to erect a building for that purpose, we hope the citizens generally will oome to their aid and render them some substantial help in this enterprise. We bid them God speed in this good work. Personal. Misses Luta and Annie Bell returned to Raleigh yesterday. Many New Berne friends regreted to see them leave. Messrs.

A Perversion of Pacts The Raleigh Call of Monday last has a two column article on Mr. Washing ton Bryan and the A. & N. C. R., which for reckless statements and bare-faced perversion of facts rather beats any thing wo have read lately in a deoent newspaper. We have not the spaoe to oopy the entire artiole with the proper comments, but will give m few para' graphs that oar readers may see to what extent Mr. Bryan's friends are going to save him the presidency of the road. They are certainly growing desperate The fallowing extraot is not as dear cs w wish: ; v .v ' Now, for some time the Call did be lieve what the Journal said, and knows It told soma truths, bnt it did not tell the whole truth. , For some days that paper published a financial statement, rotten nn by Itself, concerning the at tain of the Atlantic ft North Carolina railroad; which scored heavily against Mr. Bryan as a manager. . The state ment was presented every day until one from Mr. Bryan's offioe was published. which showed that gentleman to be a better manager by $50,000 cash receipts in four years than a previous adminis tration. , This statement has neither been disputed by the Journal nor any one eise. - it tnereiore stanas approved , Now f the Call means to ''say that the statement published by the Journal was not taken front the reports of Presi dent Wbitford and President Bryan It says that whloh Is not true. :The only difference in the statement we 'publish ed in regard to the reoeipts of the ; road and that of Mr. Dill ; Is that we only gave the receipts for four years.tbe last of WhitforiV and three of , Bryan.' (We would have given the fourth, 'but lit. Dill refused to .give , the figures while Mr.DUl gave-the reoeipts for "! "TOW ; weipis ,ir eight years out of ten. Mr. Dill's state ment as to reoeipts is not disputed nor will any honest man dispute the correct ness of our statement for the years mentioned. We are perfectly willing to accept Mr. Dill's statements. The application of a little common sense in comparing his figures will show that Mr. Bryan has not kept up the ratio of increase in receipts notwithstanding he has spent over one hundred thousand dollars above the earnings of the road to prepare himself for business. Take out the Smithfiold business, Mr. Call, and you will still see that Mr. Bryan has not kept up the rates of inorease. The Journal failed to state that the years 1881-'82 were very favorable truck and crop years and that this line of traffic as probably heavier than ever before or since, We lhiok the Journal knows a little more about this truok business than the Call. We know that before the estab lishing of the all-rail route in 1887 by tiie Atlantic Oast Line the A. & N. C. K. carried comparatively a small amount of truck. We also know that it was the prices obtained for the truck ia 1832 that made it a successful year and not the large crop It fails to state that for the past four years crops in that section have been regarded aa a failure; and when crops fail, there is an inevitable decrease of business. Mr. Geo. Allen of New Berne, ia authority for this statement about the crops. While this is true it is also true that more truck has been made and shipped from Now Berne and vioinity and along the linn of the A. & N. C. R. during the Iaet two years than ever before. The failure has been in the prices and yield per acre, but the acreage largely in creased along the line of the road on account of the all-rail route which now putn the truck in market earlier. We assert, without fear of successful con tradiction, that the railroad and the steamer lines can show that more truck has been shipped in 18E9 than in any previous year. It referred, however, to the outside public not the entire public along the tine of the road, for in the same artiole the Call emphatically stated that nine tenths of the business element of New Berne wanted Mr. Bryan retained as president of the road. Yes, and the Call emphatically stated that which is not true. We oan name, without canvassing, more than one- tenth of the business men of New Berne who do not want Mr. Bryan re-appoint ed. We think if a fair canvass was made it would be found that about one fourth are indifferent about the matter and the balance are about two-thirds anti-Bryan and one-third Bryan. It also left alone a statement to the effect that all but two of the truckers in and around New Berne ana up to Kinston had signed a petition for his retention as president. We do not know how much truth there is in the statement that all the truckers signed the petition. It was reported that numbers of petition ped dlers were out during the shipping season, and that they were paid for their services, and that some of the truckers were told that if Mr. Bryan was not re-appointea tne last trucK train would be taken off. And it also failed to tell how it was that Mr. Bryan was endorsed by ac clamation in one of the Democratic wards of the city of New Berne, and by a vote of 67 to 22 in the other. We certainly did fail to tell how that was because no such thing everoccured, Where in the name of common sense did the Call get such information. Has any Democrat in New Berne attended a ward meeting wherin Mr. Bryan was endorsed by acclamation ? If so, when was the meeting, where was . the meet ing and who is the man ? The Journal reoeived reports from every ward meet ing held in the city last spring and we heard nothing of such endorsement, The Call's point on the advance of the price of stock is not worthy of notice because every intelligent business man knows how that was brought about. The reference to dead head passes is simply the old dodge under which President Bryan has always tried to explain bis unpopularity, we will go on to the next paragraph which we quote In full: "On one occasion a delegation of citi eens came from the eastern counties to call on Got, Scales. They oame on railroad business. A large delegation was expected to come and application was made to air. . Bryan for 1000181 rates. He made soeoial rates orovided a certain number say twenty delegates would go. Tne Richmond and Dan ville company also made special rates from Goldsboro to' Raleigh for the same number. When the day for departure oame about halt of the. number of dele gates appeared. They claimed . the sneoial rate, but It was refused, by Mr. Bryan on the ground that the party was not as largo as the agreement demand ed. The R. ft D. declined also to grant the special rate on. the same ground. , It ip known that certain members of that party fumea arouna tne new Heme depot like "one gone mad."; Mr.Bryan was rounaiy aousea, ana possibly be oame very unpopular with that body of men. There la no record or their hav ing railed at the R, & D. Wmpany for deoiining the rates; bnt thtj must urge that air. Bryan, as President of the A. ftN. C. road, was very unpopular. I Does a man become unpopular in this I country when be works for tbe beet in-1 tereats of the institution or corporation he represents r" Every delegate who went from New Berne on that occasion oan point out the false statements in the above Para- ninh. Tn tha flnk nlua tha HulMntaa did not go to call on Governor Scales, as he had left the gubernatorial chair 1 about two weeks before. They went to meet delegates from other sections of uie .uu u.u . KWu u.u., to confer together about a matter of vital importance the extension of the A. ft N. C. R. The statement that the R.&D. declined to grant the ipeoW i- -u j.i. uuu. gate who went on that occasion will testify. Here are the facts: The Board of Trade of New Berne appointed a large delegation to meet delegates from other sections along the proposed line of extension of the A. & N. C. R. in Raleigh. President Bryan offered special rates if as many as fifteen would go. Thirteen delegates reported at the station uu uiiu w "" tickets. Mr. Lryan instructed ms agent not to sell them unless fifteen persons The oonseauence was some were going of the delegates refused to go and Mr, Bryan's road lost money by the opera tion. Arriving at Goldsboro, notwitb standing the number of delegates had been reduced to ten, the R. & D promptly gave them the special rate without question. And when they re turned from Raleigh Mr. Bryan, doubt less having been convinced of his folly at New Berne, granted' the npecial rato. The Call's information that the peo (jio ui uanoifi, luuivvu, vucmiujcio Alliance and the county commissioners of Lenoir were instigated to hold meet- ines. condemn Mr. Bryan and ask his removal, by persons who could not get free passes is about s correct as much of its information re ferred to above. Does tbe Call believe the people of Carteret, the business men of Kinston, the Farmer's Alliance of three or four counties, have all sur rendered their manhood and allowed some undentrapper, who is mad be cause he hasn't got a free pass, to get them together and pats resolutions, con demning Mr. Biyan? Away with such stuff. The charge is an insult to these! people and we can not believe it has any weight with Qovernor Fowle. But the Call is informed that since Mr. Dill's statement tbe talk is all the other way Not a bit of it. Mr. Dill's figures have proved a boomerang, and Mr. Bryan's friends are already squirm ing under the fair and juBt comparisons that have been made with them. Qovernor Fowle knows that the charge made by the Call that the people down here want a special man is un-1 true. They have told the uovernorl that they want Mr. Bryan out and would earnestly support him in the appointment of any good man. Mr. Bryan's friends are surety be coming desperate, but such barefaced mis-statements as are made by tne iaii will be sure to redound, and Mr. Bryan will pray Qod to deliver him from his friends.
