committee was finally appointed to draw up
resolutions expressive of the meeting; but,
before they reported, the rattle ola key in
the lock reduced all to silence. The rum
seller vas about setting out for church, and
came to get little change 10 put into the
plate. His minister that morning preached
on the Deluge. He inferred from his sub
ject. that cold water is very destructive, and
he therefore took occasion to warn his con-
gregation against fanatical prohibitory laws,
as equally opposed to interest and appetite
to say nothing ofinspiration. The rum-seller
expanded with JOY under the sermon. He
nodded a great many times, and smiled
triumphantly at temperate man, whose
eye he happened to catch. And when the
plate came round, he placed thereon, with a
profound bow. the copper which had lain a
month on the bosom of the dead. and then
he leaned back and turned his eyes heaven
wards, in state of perfect bliss.

Mr. GoRMAN: In reporting the acts
of the Chowan Baptist Association, at its
recent session during the month of May,
our Pastor stated that among other trans
actions, the Association decided that it is
inconsistent with christian to make, sell,
bay or drink ardent spirits as a beverage.
When the representatives sent by the church
to the association told of the encouraging
state of things among the churches, as re-
ferred to in the church letters, of the pros
perity of the Foreign and Domestic Mis-
sions, of the unexampled increase Of the
education fund, the fourishing condition of
the Female Institute in Murfreesboro' and
of the condition and progress of the Male
Seminary in Gates County, our hearts ex-
ulted, but when we heard of the high ground
taken by 50 influential body as the Chow
an Association in behalf of the temperance
cause, we were very happy
This Association, as you may be aware,
is composed of about nine or ten thousand
communicants, residing in the counties ly-
ing between the Roanoke river and the At
lantic Ocean, or the ten counties in the ex-
treme northeast part of the State. Among
these, are many of our best and most infu-
entail citizens. I am not a Baptist, but
have been accustomed to meet with the
Baptists in worship, from my childhood,
and feel attached to them and their princi-
pies; of late my attachment to them has
greatly increased. The members seemed to
respond hearty amen to the sentiment ex-
fho hoo hot
enran ruhara tho fact that was a Bap-
tist would be proof enough that he never
! drank intoxicating drinks at all.
Let this fact encourage you in your ardu-
GUS efforts against the great evil that afaicts
! our land Daylight is evidently breaking
, on our noble State. Let the groggeries be
put down and all will be right. You are
7 doing mighty work and may be hindered
: for awhile, but eventually must succeed
/, The liquor sellers will abuse you and say
i, all manner of hard thought of you; but
t when their internal traffic is stopped, which
2 it is hoped will be done by the next legis-
e lature, you will find among them some of
your warmest friends and most ardent ad-
mirers. If were acquainted with Mr..
t James, Editor Of the Baptist Recorder,
e would write him on this subject, as it must
cheer the hearts of Baptists everywhere to
:, hear of the progress of the temperance cause.
| He would oblige some of his friends in this
| section by publishing the above Rev. A.
a J. Spivey, of BERTHE. lectured not long age
S at Mt. Tabor, ON temperance, and would
n no doubt do a great deal of good if he could
d be induced to lecture extensively. He il
h a good speaker, is popular, gentleman o.
st high standing and great moral worth.

Chatham County.

In accordance with call made by the
friends of Temperance, a Convention was
held in Pittsboro' on Saturday, June 10th,
which was attended by respectable num-
Der Of the friends of the cause. The meet
ing was called to order by calling E. A.
Poe, ESQ, to the Chair; and the appoint
ment of S. L. Riddle Secretary.
The object of the meeting was explained
by DR.. Robt. R. Smith and the meeting
was also addressed by r. E. Riyes, Esq.
Rev. w. P. Taylor moved the appoint
ment Of committe of four, consisting of
two wings and two democrats, to draft Res
olutions for the consideration of the meet
ing; which motion was adopted. The
Chair appointed DR.. R. K. Smith, Rev. w.
P. Taylor, Robt. E. Rives and James G.
Burke said committee, who subsequently
reported as follows:
Rssolced, 1st, That the traffic in intoxicating bev-
erages as at present existing by law in North Car
olina, is grievance, cause ofimmOrality and un-
just taxation, from which the people have a right
to seek redress from the Legislature
2 That the sale of intoxicating beverages, ex-
cept for medicinal, mechanical sacramental pur.
poses, ought to be prohibited by law.
s. That this question OF Prohibition is above all
party issues, is of immediate and paramount inter-
est to all the people, and should ifpossibe, be kept
separate from the political parties of the day.
4. That it will be consistent with the personal
independence of the candidates for the Legislature
in Chatham County, with the principles of Repub-
lcanism and the rights ofthe People, for the can
ddates to pledge themselves, felected, to vote and
labor in good faith to procure the passage of Pro-
hbitory law provided such a law shall be required
by majority of their constituents.
5. That if the memorial now in circulation shall
be signed by majority of the whole number of Vo-
ters, who may be entitled to vote in the coming
election for Governor it viii be proper evidence
I that the people of Chatham desire prohibitory
law, and that the candidates ought to pledge them
! selves to regard said memorial if signed by ma
jority, as instructions to vote for such law.
6. That the method of ascertaining the wishes O.
the people by memorial and the pledge of the can
didates to represent the wishes Of the majority vii
serve to keep this question of party enable it:
friends to vote according to party preferences by
placing the question of prohibition upon its owl
merits, and be consistent with the principles of re
u Pubiicanism without giving just ground of complain
Is to any.

The corn crop in general is not a very heavy

corn in Sassafras Neck. Richard Scnans /
Esq. on a peach orchard of about seven acres
has the present season made twenty five hun

so well adapted to the growth of good peaches
as Sassafas Neck. Here is Cassaday'S fam.
Gus peach orchard, and here is the nursery Of
Mr.. Husfrlt, who has now for sale 40, 900
peach trees of good growth, and of the
choicest varieties, which may be depended on
as the kinds represented, and which he sells
at II mod rate price. This part of Cecil is
improving; it certainly is a beautiful coun.

THE ORPHANS C0URT-INF0R-
NATION WANTED.

On the 18th day of January 1914 the Cen
eral Assembly of Maryland passed law ma
king it
.sthe duty OF the Orphans Court of Ceci' county
to publish the act passed at Dec mber session ls42
chap. $50, emit ed act to am nd the of De-
cimb.r ,e son lS+0 chap. 223, in al the newspa-
pers published in id county for the space of three
weeks, between the first day of May and the last
day of July, in elch and every year"
The act of 1912 referred to, requires all
school funds in the hands or management of
the Orphans Court invested or to lie invested
in private securities, to be secured by mort
gage on real estate, the assessment Of which
shall be treble the amount of the sum loaned.
And also states what disposition shall be
made annually Of whatever funds may be in
their hands at their regular meeting in Au-
gust, or their next meeting thereafter, &c.
= Here VIC have a law that does not leave it
optional with the Orphans Court wht ther it
shall publish the act referred to, nor give it
the liberty Of publishing it iii one county pa
per; but expressly makes it the duty Of that
Court to publish it once every year in all the
newspapers published in the county: yet this
act has never been published at any time in
any paper in Cecil county. Why is this2
The Legislature, if it had not been for some
wise end, would not have passed the law of
'44;-why then has it never been published :
Is the Orphans Court governed by "a higher
law" than that passed by the legislature
Has it sinncd through ignorance Or has it
failed from some other cause to comply with
the requirements of the law?
We want information on the subject. Will
some one enlighten us?

EXHIBITION AT New LoNDoN-We gave
list two or three weeks ago Of number of
Cecil boys who were to take part in the ex-
crcscs at the late Exhibition at the New Lon
don Academy. under the charge of Mr.. j. b.
Mcdowell. We understand from persons
who were there on that occasion. that they
all acquitted themselves in manner highly
crcdtable to the institution and their own
talents and habits of study. The whole affair
is stated to have passed remarkably well.
PRINCIPAL ELECTED.-At a meeting of the
Trustees of the Elkton Academy held on
Monday evening last, Rev. +. Knighton Of
Camden, n. j., was elected Principal IF that
Institution. lie has been for Is years a

TIE FOREIGN NEwS.-Thc steamer Amer
lea arrived at Halifax on Thursday with Liv-
crrool dates to the 10th inst. one week later.
The following summary of the news from the
Baltimore American refers to the more i'm
portant items of intelligence:
The great fact of interest which the news
puts us in possession of is the final departure
Of the expedition against Scvas,Jf pol. Between
six and seven hundred vessels Of war and
transports, manned by $4,000 sailors, and
conveying rs 600 soldiers and three thousand
pieces of cannon. left Narna on the 4lh and
5th with the expectation of appearing before
Scvastopol on the l0,h inst. when the land
ing of the troops was to Immediately follow.
This expcdlionary force is the most ilnpo-
sing that has ever been sent out by any pow
or, and its operations may be expected to be
on corresponding scale of greatness. 1t is
not probable that we shall have any definite
news in regard to the movements of the expo
dition for fortnight to come. Prince Mem
sclikoH commands at Srvastopol, and Russia
is no doubt prepared to resist the attack Of the
allies with all the force and means at her COM
mand.
Mr.. Soulc has written letter to the Off.
cial organ at Madrid In reply to the insinua
tons of that journal in reference to dis dcpar-
ture from Madrid. Mr.. Soulc's grandloquent
style will excite more ofamrselNent over the
absurdltics into which his cgotsm bctrayS
