Manager, Asheville, X. C. A SPECIAL, PROPOSITION. The W. N. C. Methodist Until Dec. 31, 1891, For 7."i Cents. We propose to send the Methodist from now to the end of the year, for the small sum of 75 cents. "We make this proposition for two reasons: First, we are satisfied that there are hundreds of Methodist fam ilies that do not take any religious paper, and this reduction is made as an inducement for them to subscribe for the Wkstkkn 2$. C. Meticodist. Seconi? It will save us a great deal of labor in changing our mailing list, to have as many of o lr subscribers run to the same date as possible. Therefore, we make this proposition,not only to new subscribers, but to the old ones also who are in arrears. Look at the date on the label of your paper and ,w irht vn'i are due up to this date and 76 cents and we will change the date to Dec. 31, 1S91. To the Preachers: In making this liberal offer we hope you will do yonr -best to put the W. X. C. Methodist into every family in your charge, ii will do them good, and they in return will do you good. To our Friends, one and all : Let us have your aid; you can at least get one subscriber each. Tell your neigh bors they can have the W. X. C. Meth odist until Dec. 31, 1891, for 75c. Mr. C. L. Ilardwick, a promi nent Methodist layman of Cleve land. Tenn., was dangerously stabbed a few days since in an offrv with Dr. Jordan, of that place; but was convalescent at last accounts, Mr. John M. Paxton was recently recommended by the Morristown, Tenn., Methodist Church for license to preach. He recently brought a letter from a Presbyte rian church in Central Virginia, and connected himself with the M E. Church, South, at that place. He is a young man of promise. One of the best evidences of Christianity is the fact that when men backslide in heart and life they are often tempted with doubts as to the truth of Christianity ; but when they are prayerfuLand pious they are not greatly troubled by pucb doubts. A right state of heart and life puts a man in har mony with the Bible. If men were more reverential, more docile in spirit, there would be less of heresy and doubt. The scriptures were written by pious men in their best moods; and when men fall into the same moods they see and feel as did the men who wrote and spoke as they were moved by the Ilo'.y Spirit. If a preacher lacks pathos, he must make up the lack by some thing else ; by depth, originality ingenuity, wit, or something else Nothing is more pleasing to the common people than rapid utter auce, if not too rapid; very little spacing between words, and very little spacing between thoughts Too much time between words. and too much verbiage between thoughts stops the flow of magnet- ism and weariea the hearer. Throw out the tirr.e spaces and speak solid; throw out many of the ad jectives and circumlocutions, and come right to the point. Bo far from the Scriptures not being given by inspiration, every good thing comes by some sort of inspiration. All true science is a revelation. Bunyan had a meas ure of inspiration when he com posed "Pilgrim's Progress;" soot tne autnor oi i arauioo ujb. Gravitation was revealed to' New ton; Kepler's lawa to Kapler; oxygen to Priestly ; the steamboat to Fulton ; the Daguerreotype to Daguerre; the telegraph to Morse; the phonograph to Edison. Is it best to convert your preacher into a pauper, a man compelled to beg for credit, and dreaded by the merchants? Is it best to have him going with his head hung down, thinking of where the next bushel of meal is to come, instead of planning a campaign for the conquest of souls? Is it best to wear him out with secular care, bend his form, and no.no. Pay him well, pay him promptly ; and set him free to do tho work of the Lord. Some young bucks are fond ot talking skepticism. The inspira tion of the Scriptures is denied, miracles are decried, Moses and Abraham were puerile, spiritual religion is superstition. Did you ever know an infidel or skeptic that was doing anything for the salvation of souls? Did you ever know one of them that was of any account? They can tear down, but they can't build up; they can tell you what is false, but they can't tell you what is true, They would demolish your house ; but they can't build another in its place. The St. Louis Advocate of June 24, has a piece of a column, notic ing the "Southern Methodint Press." In this it has a good word to say for several of its Southern Methodist exchanges. We judge from this article that the editors either do not receive or do not read the W. N. C. Meth odist. By the by, this reminds us that it is very easy for us to judge of a literary performance by its source. A paper from Naz areth would not be rea 1 or quoted ; if from Rome, it would be read and quoted, whether merLjoriqus or not. When we editec?Jhe llols- ion Methodist, we noticed that one of our Methodist exchanges never quoted from its columns; at a cer tain time we were employed to write editorily, incognito for an other paper for a season, and the paper referred to was quite liberal in quoting from 6aid editorials When the kid on the roof of a bnnse. railed at the wolf; the wolf replied, that it was not the kid, but the roof that railed at him. So, often it is the position and not the man that speaks. But this iB not intended as a com plaint. "Time and chance hapen eth unto them all." We take the St. Louis, read it, and copy ' liber ally from its columns. Lately it has taken on new life; and .it is now a better paper than ever. Editorial Platitudes. We see no reason why sancti fied dullness should be an essen tial qualification for the editorship of a church naner. We see no reason why notions of connec tional prudence should tone his editorials down to platitudes ; why all the salt and pepper and spice should be left out of the dishes he sets before his patrons. Must a church paper be as insipid as the white of an egg? Is not the ex cessive prudence of some church editors due to the tyranny of or ganized numbers? To the fact that there are too many members in the firm? Too many masters A paper that stands on common sround to thousands, 6tands on a narrow neck of land. They must be glittering generalities indeed, that please everybody. The true policy is, to put a strong, safe man into the position, and then, by common consent, aive him the latitude that intel lect and convictions h:;-e a right to claim. It has been asserted that relig ious newspapers have not the free lorn in th'; South, that they have in the North; lhat freeaom of opinion and discussion' is more tolerate 1 there than here. We do not know how this is, but we do know that it not unfrequently happens, that a little display' of editorial individuality in a south ern religious journal, calls forth a number of orders, ''stop my paper." This should not be. If you don't like the editors opinions, write a communication joining issue with him; and if he suppresses free discussion, it is time enough then to say, "stop my paper." Writers sometimes modestly suggest changes in doctrine and in church polity (which they have a right to do); but they have scarcely done this, when a half dozen church guardians politely invito them to withdraw from the church! This course is not uncommon in this climate, and it is the offspring of ignorance and bigotry. Again it often happens, that the honest and bold presentation of views are met by personal assaults and insinuations; there are charges of egotism, imprudence, rashness, pugnacity, ambition. Only little minds argue in this way. Only fices bark on that key. But there are editors who are sen sitive to criticism, and think it best to wash out of their editori als all thought, independence and originality. Is this best? Is it wise? Let us temper the mortar, if we have to make the wool fly to do it. Let us present the pure cider of doctrine, without the milk of over-caution. Let us present the pure wine of Iru'h, without the water of flattery and time serving. We have not made these remarks stopping of ftis paper, on account of any freedom of thought and discussion in these columns. With our subscribers we have had little or no trouble along this line. Our remarks have been based upon a knowledge of human nature, and an editorial experience of long standing. At all events let editors be men, every inch men ; chameleons, not parrots Let a generous public allow them to be men, yea, require them to be men. Let us have in the religious journal freo-thinking without infi delity, boldness without scurrility, progressiveness without radical ism, liberality without la'itu dinarianism. Sam Jones. It has been said, that one cause of Sam Jones' popularity and seemingly extensive usefulness, is that he preaches a low order of Christianity genuine as far as it I goes, but of a low grade, low hi de d, but vastly higher than the ordinary lives of worldly men. His key-note is, "quit your mean ness." To the higher spiritual preaching of the day, he is a John the Baptist to Christ, his doctrine of "quit" paves ths way for the perfection higher knowledge and experience of the pulpit in it6 best spiritual moods. Jones brings religion down to the aver age capacity. Bad men and women listen at him and say, "I can attain unto that kind of re ligion ; I can quit my meanness ; it is to my worldly interest to do it ; it will make me more happy and prosperous in a worldly point of view ; it will make me decent and respectable." Hence his im mense audiences; hence the large numbers who give him the hand and promise to reform. If they had to serve a term at the mourn er's bench, go through an altar sweat, thoroughly become cruci fied to sin, and thoroughly be made alive to God in concious regenera tion and the witness of the spirit. Jones' Gideon host of thirty-two thousand would dwindle to three hundred that lap like a dog. But there cannot be, among knowing and reasonable men, two opinions as to the question of Jones' power over men to convince them of sin, and to bring them to Christ. When you hear him, you can but feel it. You can't read his published pulpit utterances, without feeling that in them there is a wonderful insight into human character, an incisiveness, clean ing the joints and cutting to the marrow, and an earnestness born of unquestioning faith, that burns at white heat, before which world liness, sin and unbelief are as tow. There is a regenerating and purifying power in his utterances that wc find in no other preacher of the day. He is only on one side of every question ; he is a spiritual radical; he carries a black flag against all sin and world! iness : he hews the enemies of God to pieces with a merciless hand. He is not eminently fitted for "perfecting the saints," and is therefore not eminently a pastor and teacher; he hands over the work of the ministry (diacouate) to other men : but he is eminently an apostle and prophet "edify ing the body of Christ" building 1 he church. We note from the Yadkin Val ley Sews the death of Mrs. Vir tiinia Banner, relict of the late John Banner, of Mt. Airy, which occured on the 17th. She was 86 years of age and had been a mem ber of the Southern Methodist Church for 35 years. She was a matiarch and a good woman. No doubt her end was peace and her rest is glorious. Statesville Advocate. The Matter of Ilowman. We" saw a letter-head, which r- iid, "J. W. Bowman, attorney at. law, Bakersville, N. C. ' W in fer from the above quotation thai Bro.

Methodist pro nounces us a little too previous; in announcing J. W. Bowman, atfor-ney-at-law at Bakersville. ur information was mighty straight. Let the Western give the faCAe if it has them. Holsion Methodist, June 17. A Card. Editor of W. N. CVIethopist : Dear Brother. I have beet in formed bv others who b-ye. seen recent ibbucd ui j trr V a ;r col- umns, a BiaTiemeni, ytrr v that I had "quit the ministry, and gone into the practice of the law." I know not whether the paragraph or statement was made editorily or' by 6ome correspondent, or was taken from some other paper as an item cf ecclesiastical news not having had access to any of my papers for weeks. But one thing I do know that the state ment, whatever its source, is wholly at variance with the facts, not to use the harsher terms, li belous and false. I am at a loss as to how any one with any re gard for truth could have origi nated such a report. I certainly have not quit the ministry, though under the necessity for the time being, on account of throat and other diseases, of giving up my ministerial and pastoral wofV Nor have I entered upon the prac tice of law, or ever intimated a purpose of doing so. The story is a pure fabrication, "out of the whole cloth," no scraps of truth entering into it. The only thing I can think of, as giving rise to report so utterly untrue, is the following: Some few days ago, while on a visit at the house of my brother, Jacob W. Bowman, who is a lawyer liv;ng in Bakers ville; having occasion to write a few letters, business and friendly, used his stationary letter heads, and envelopes. TbeesikJjjid nrinted UDon them. J. . r. '.v- l man, attorney-at-law, Bakers. ville, N. C." Perhaps some one who knew me and my initials, but did not know my brother, or the fact that his initials and mine aie the same just jumped to the conclusion that "Rev. J. W. Bowman has given up the ministry and gone to prac ticing law at Bakersville, N. C." If these letter-heads were the basis of the process which meta morphosed me from a preacher into lawyer, it is certainly evi dent that people are not as care ful of facts as they ought to be he fore rushing into print to misrep resent a man before the public It also shows that inventive gen ius is capable of hanging a very large tale on a very small peg If Christians ought' to "be quick to hear, but slow to speak, and slow to wrath," they ought cer tainly to take time to ascertain the truth of statements that they would write for the public eye con cerning so serious a thing as changing a man's life-work. So thinks your humble scribe, t Yours fraternally. Jxo. W. Bowman P. S. 1 hope all the papers which published the false state ments, and all the individuals who have reported them, will do me justice to the extent of publishing the substance of this card. J. W. B The Holston Methodist comes to us considerably enlarged and im proved. If the publishers can suc ceed in making the paper what it ought to be in every respect, and what they desire to make it, they ought to have a circulation of 10, 000. The field has capacity for that yield, and the preachers and laymen ought to work it for all that it is worth. The time past should suffice for fogyiem, picka yunishnees, non-progreBBiveness amid the conical hills, sharp peaks and lovely valleys of the Holston country. Preacher-starving, paper killing, and like things should come to an end ; and Holston should come out of the wilder ness fair as Luna, clear as Sol, and illustrious as bannered hosts Rev.

Dr. W. C. Black, in the Pacific Methodist, says of Bishop Gal loway : The bishop is a prodigious worker. During the four years of his dual work as pastor and editor an account of weekly work and travel would read almost like a storv of romance. It began with two sermons on Sunday, in addi -- - . y tion to regular attendance upon Sunday-school in the morning and occasional preaching at a mission appointment in the aiternoon.

Event and Comment. A party of tcientists has gone West with a quantity of dyna mite, and a considerable number of small balloons to make an ex periment in causing rain. The last Congress appropriated several thousand dollars to experiment with a scheme of ex-Senator Far well in making rain by means of explosions in the air, and in pursu ance of the plan dynamite will be attached to the balloons, sent up and shot off, while the observers will-watch for tlie coming shower. Some portion of the rainless region will be seioeted for the experiment, and if it -is sueeos-si'ul, it will within the- power of any tjirming community by providing itself with dynamite and balloons t se cure a shower whenever the corn crop needs it.

On Saturday another Arctic ex pedition sailed from this port, which is expected to accomplish great things.

This is the only Arcticexpedition ever made that was thoroughly manned for scientific investiga tion, and if it does not "break the record" in approaching the pole, it ought to surpass all previous explorations in the extent and value of its additions to human knowledge.

' the gnis-y condition of cotton and joru. Fanners say they were never so much behind as they are this season. Men, women anu children are in the fields at work. It is almost useless to undertake pastoral visiting now. The wife and the. little ones remain in doors the' former to cook and the lat ter t cry, Peoplo.'.who raise cot ton or tobacco have mny hard ships. It strikes mo that this Western North Carolina country should grow grasses and grain only as field crops. The seasons are too short for cotton. Farmers have been paying as high as one dollar per bushel for corn, and selling their cotton for about eight cents per pound. This is swap ping dollars at a loss of about 20 to the cotton grower. The friends and brethren at Trinity, the place of holding our quarterly conference, consented for Brother Guthrie and myself to sus pend the jneeting on Saturday afternoon, in order for us to at tend the dedication of Salem Church, on the Rock Springs Circuit- After refreshments at Bro. H, P. Killian's pleasant home, we started for Denver, eight miles distant from Trinity. Bro. Guth rie is excellent company, and had it not been for the rough road the trip would have been exceedingly pleasant. As we drove into the village the btdl rang for preach ing. A live bishop was in town. This was something new for this place, and hence the people wtre in a stir. We found Bishop Dun can at the parsonage, where we put up for the' night.

Everybody seemed to enjoy it very much. Alter spending the night so pleasantly, it was arranged for Brother .Webb and myself to leave early for tin- new church. We found the people collecting from all directions in wagons, carriages, buggies, carts, on horseback and on foot. Soon the large church was tilled to overllowing. Some of the people took me for the Bishop, as. t was in company with Bro. Webb only. This Methodist preacher is a hustler. No wonder he succeeds in building so many new churches. He not only moves himself, but moves everybody else ,vho can be moved. He moved me for a Sunday school speech at 10 o'clock. My speech might have made an excellent impression if Bro. Webb had not introduced me. I don't mean to say that I made a good speech.

We extract from the Bristol Neivs the following reference to this matter : A LONG FIGHT ENDED IX WHICH THE CHURCH WAS INVOLVED. "The Methodist Episcopal Church, South, has won a suit in which all the Methodists in Bris-J tol, East Tennessee and South west Virginia will be .interested. TIm Supreme Court of Oregon has decided what Is Jtnovu Corvallis College suit, in favor of the Church. The suit referred to involved property valued at about $3,000,000. The college property has been in litigation for years, and the result has been awaited with much Interest. "Some years ago the Govern ment donated ninety thousand acres of land in Oregon for th( establishment of an agricultural college, but the time wa limited. The time in which the State mighl avail itself of the liberal offer hac nearly expired and nothing ha beeu done. "The Legislature was in sessior, and a member, who is also a mem her ef (be Methodist Church, pr - nosed in a bill to establish college in connt-c; H-n wit me Methodist college at Corv.din, a-i-ecing thai- ii t he C-'auvh v.oisiv: be given I he laud ii would v. the State a college iu t-''rl" - ! ' This measure was pass i a:vi tl school establish' d. In son.e w;i the Northern Methodis: ( huici which was also trying get this d. nation, got possession temporarily and put up several handson houses. "When the time came and tl. S'ate attempted to rescind its a tion and take back the land, Bisho) Hargrove, for the Southern Meth-odi-.t Church, instituted suit, em ploying Judge. Williams, who wilt in President Grant's Cabinet, l. represent the ( ,'hurch. After a figli i of several years the suit has been decided in favor of the Church, which now has one -of the most valuable properties in the United States." We presume this is substan tially correct as to the history of the transaction. It was an attempt to cheat us out of property that honestly belonged to us, under the law. As however we believe a condition attached to this grant of property since become so valuable, i6 the maintenance of an Agricultural and Industrial School on a large scale, and as that belongs more especially to the State rather than the Church, we think it will be advisable for our people to sur render the pioperty to the State of Oregon, for a reasonable bonus in money, being at the same time released from the obligation to maintain the Technical School of Agriculture, etc., above mentioned. With the means so obtained, we could establish what we need and can use a well-endowed literary institution at some good location, around which we might, as a cen tre, rally our various denomina tional interests in that part of the Pacific Coast. And we thus should escape all entanglement and dau srer of renewed con Hint with a State, a majority of whose citizens arc not favorable to our Church. At present, we have the vantage ground. May we have grace to use it well! Rii-lunoinl Advocate. It is a strange fact but one said to be true, that every day of t lie week is, in one nation or other, a Sunday. Monday is the Greek Sunday; Tuesday is the day of ret among the Persians; Wednes day, among the Assyrians ; Thurs day among the Egyptians; Fri day is the Sabbath with the Turks ; and, of course, ameng the Jew?, Saturday. Our own is the best. The Church, just after the death of the Saviour, subst ituted this day for the old Jewish Sabbath, It is the Church's highest day, as the dear Bible is the Church's book, the one being appointed by her, as the other was written by har i.e., by her officers the Lord's day and God's book, the Church the guardian of the one and the keeper and witness of the oth?r.
