PIXJN LECTURES TO A LARGE AUDIF.NCK IN THE liKVPOW HA!. I. LAST NIGHT. The people of "Greensboro had a rate thing last night in the way of a lecture rare on account of its supe rior excellence. This nble, impres sive and edifying lecture was given by the Rev Thomas Dixqn, Jr., of New York City, to a large and apprecia tive audience in Benbow Hall. The speaker took for his subject "Back-bone." ot which article, he looked as though he might be in pos session of four ieet The ability with which he handled this "bone," re minded one of the powerful sway of a bone by that Biblical character, known to all children for his great strength. , Mr. Dixon is a nativevof Cleveland county, N. C He is a very tall, slen der man, has raven black hair, which is quite thick, and which he wears long. He has a long face which is kept clean shaved. His very phy sique, andcarriage, and countenance, all lend to the effect of his oratory. Mr Dixon began his lecture proper by showing that as a back bone was absolutely necessary for a man to stand up, jiftl so necessary was it for a man to have some moral stiffening Lin hi make lip irVwder Jo maintain a position of principle and morality. He spoke of the great majority act ing out in their, lives that dangerous and false, but generally accepted say ing, "The voice of the people is the voice of God." He showed the need Of "backbone'' to maintain principle and conviction against public senti ment, position, influence and power. He cited cases where individuals were put to severest tests by having to encounter position "and power. But always t with an - encouraging : se quel when there Mad been backbone enough to . stand up for what they thought right ; One was the case pf a' poor man, an employe of the rich and powerful B. Sc O. railroad corporation, at a wayside station. This poor," but honest' man, had no other home and could afford no other than the garrett of this wayside station house. ' . One day there was a wreck on the road not far from the station. This man was ordered there to fclear it off. Wniie engagen in clearing away uie wreck a littlefrisky fussy man got in his way, he asked the little man to get out of his way, but the little man gave no heed to his request, then he told him if he didn't get away he would pick him up a'nd throw him in the ditch. The little man rose up - in his dignity and wrath and said, I am John W. Garrett,, I own this road from end to end, and' I will have you discharged. This strong, determined man , said, I don't care who you are, you have to get out ofYny way, and the owner and president of that great railroad did get out of his way, and he didn't discharge him either V But he prordoted him again and ,again and again,, and; he kept on being promoted until finally he became president of, the road him self. ,'-- , Many incidents were related, all in a most happy and interesting way and all tended to bear out witn great em phasis the propositions being treated by the speaker., ' For an ' hour, and a half the: audience feasted : upon, this literary repast and were not sated. A lady was heard to say when he took his seat, I am so sorry he is through, , I could listen to hin till midnight. utlern Salldtos; and I.oaa Go. A building and loan association has been formed with home office in Greensboro. Letters of incorporation of which appear in to-days Workman. Local advisory Ijoards will be organ ized in other towns; hence, this associ ation will be local entirely in its oper ation. ' The incorporatoas are Messrs. R. R. King, H. H, Cartland, J. H. Har ris, J'W. Scott, S. S. Brown, Geo, S. Sergeant, Wm. M. Houston and J. W. Causey. Building and Loan Associations are now considered as among the most se cure and paying institutions to which people generally have access. They are not only helpful in that they are a place of deposit where earning will be taken care of and make interest be sides, but they are means whereby many people can obtain . a home of their own which they could not do in any other way. . This is a home organ ization and we hope it will long con tinue as successful as it bids to do now. Already $60,000 have been sub scribed. The authorized capital stock is $1,000,000. There is this advan tage in patronizing a home association, you keep the money at home. , : Monument to General ttreene. As will be seen in our columns of yesterday, the library committee oftlje Htfuse has rcporteA 'favorably the bill to appropriafetKff" sum l"r,t1J3JjtocT-tcf erect a monument to General Nathan iel Greene on th Battlefield of Guil ford Court Housenear this city. We are glad to note this and hope that the bill will pass they House and become a law. Some persons, who judge of the importance of a battle by the number of killed and wounded, are disposed to underrate the . importance of the battle of Guilford Court House. This battle so cripbled Cornwallis and his army that it caused ' the surrender .-at Vorktown and secured freedom for people after a seve 1 years' wax'. ; Could those veterans, wh had followed so faithfully the sturdj' hero, have chosen the spot upon which to erect a monu ment to their leadfr, we have no doubt that they would have said place it at Guilford Court Hoflse where the last bkw was struck ftp freedom and where the light of liberty first began to show its face through te dark clouds which seemed to overhang the colonies. 4 Architect. '. The reporter met at the depot this morningKMr. A. Ii ,West an architect from Richmond o his way to Winston. Mr. West is'acsiualnted with our towns man, Thos. Woodroffe. He: spoke in very high' termst of him, which, of course, '.he did being acquainted with him,, if he spoke: of him at alL Mr, West has just . completed the erection of a Baptist: Church in Rich mond, : and also the design for the Grace St. Baptist j. Church which will be one of, the largest and finest in Richmond. - . : Mr.. West said 'tfcat North Carolina had her eyes open. (H$ spoke of the great improvement in the looks of peo ple and things here now and immedL atelyafter the'war.He said he came through i North : . Carolina . them the fences wer'- out of repair and eyery thing sled a lack of thrift and enterprise Th. he said things had greatly changed ift the .better. He Uhen said that Georgia and North Carolina were- pre' ressive States. A Trip to ore Hill. Twenty gentlemen went to Ore Hill yesterday to inspect the quanti.j ty of ore in sight. Since the earth had been removed in quite a number of places vertical seams o dense i.on ore ranging from 3 to oof ieet by actual measurement have been exposed. The widest places being at intersections of two, some limes three seams of ore. Not a single man in the com pany has the slightest cbubt as to quantity and the .thirty odd different analyses given as to quality is satisfy ing as to the steel making ores. No one who has seen its vast out crop doubts that from t .iatone mountain, the two furnaces to be erected here will have ample supply for more than too years to say nothing of the oth; let properties owned by the company. The weather was very warm, and the gentlemen from here, as well as those' visitors from a Jdistance .(doffed their coats, vests and dickies, showing they meant to see what was there. Then to see their back bones as they swelled and extended was just won. derful, to say their back bones were m strong as a stack pole would be putting it in mild terms. The gen eral manager was will at the expres sions he heard fall from the lips of the strangers, y . : V B. Hoarding- Ktreet Cam. Some of our large cities have an in cars going at sucn a speed mat it going at would be dangerous to attempt to board them without some such ar rangement. Suppose a street car is making twelve miles an hour, at the stations there are three steps, the first one is moving say four miles per hour. A person can very easily . step from the ground on to this step without danger. The next step is moving at the rate of eight miles an hour, or four miles an hour faster, than the first, step. The second step can be made from the first as easily as the first from the ground. The car comes along at a speed of twelve miles an iiourt but it is going oniy four miles art hour faster than the Step upon which the person stands and he can step upon the car with perfect safety. ' By this simple device the street cars can take on and off pas sengers and maintain a steady speed of twelve niles per hour. - By such an ar rangement any .train might be boarded no matter how great the speed. ' iv)nded Charter. : , It is learned from " the Democrat that the charter of the Scotland Neck Cotton Millshas been . amended ' so as to allow the company to manufacture Knit goods as well as, spin yarns. The machinery for Knitting has been purchased, and a Supt. has been se cured. , - ' How to prink Milk. Some complain that they thev can r.ot drink milk without feeing"distressed by it- . The most common reason why milk. is not well-borne is due to the fact that people drink it too quickly. If a glass of it is swallowed hastily, it enters into the stomach and then forms one solid, curdled mass, difficult of di gestion. If "on the other hand, the same quantity v is sipped, and ; three minutes at least are occupied in drink ing it, then on reaching the stomach It is so divided that when coagulated, as it must be by the gastric juice while digestion is going on, instead of being in one hard, condensed, mass, upon the outside 'of which only the digestive fluids can act, it is more in the form of a sponge, and in and out of the entire bulk the gastric juice can play freely and perform its' functions.
