COlored Good Templars.

Last Thursday evening, Hon. e. r.
Dudley, of New Berne, ,livered an
address in the church at Warnersville.
on the subject of Temperance. His re.
marks were practical, straight forward
and replete with common sense. The
meeting was not large none, not more
than one hundred and twenty FIVE being
present. Mr.. Dudley's address, to our
notion, was in better vein than those
the colored people have had the oppor
tunity, as general thing, to listen to.
The main idea was that his people should
save their earnings and invest the prof.
its arising from their labor, in land
He said that in this way, where land is
so cheap, MANY colored people, in short
time, by industry aud economy, could
become landed proprietors. 1t was
evident they could not do this SO long
as they squandercd their means in buy
ing intoxicating drinks. We sincerely
hope the advice will be taken and acted
upon. There is too much disposition on
the part of the colored people to flock
to the towns. Many proprie tors in the
country would be glad to dispose OF
their lands in small parcels, for
cash. A fJw acres we'll cultivated
will afford support for an ordinary
family.
On Wednesday night, Nir. Dudley
organized a Lodge of Good Templars.
After his address, Thursday night, he
held another meeting, taking in more
members, so that the society now num-
bers about two hundred. He has or
ganized societies in New Berne, Kinston
Wilson, Raleigh and Fayetteville. The
movement among the colored people is
fast assuming Importance, and The good
results promise TO be incalculable.- Ne,c

Called to Preach.

The late Elder John Smith, of Ken
tucky, who died recently at an advanced
age, was one Of the most eccentric wits
south of the Ohio river. He was famil-
iarly known throughout Kentucky as
Rnccoon Smith. While still in the
Baptist ministry, and attending the
annual meetings of that body, tall lank
green specimen of humanity presented
himself before so Association as
candidate for the ministry. He was
regarded aa not being Of entirely sound
mind, and labored under the hallucina-
tion that he was especially "called to
preach" and kept constantly importunat-
ing the Association to give him the
necessary license. In addition to his
particularly unbalanced mind, young
Mecks was the possessor Of as huge and
ungainly pair of feet as ever trod in
shoe leather. Tired Of his importuni-
ties, and not being disposed to grant
the license, the Association hand him
over to Smith, with instructions to
make an end of the case, and between
them took place the following converse
tion
Smith-"So, Brother Meeks, you
think you have special call to
preach p
Meeks-"Yes, the Lord has called
me to the work, but the Association
refused me the license"
Smith-"How do you know you are
called2' 4
Mseks-"Know i'll feel it in my
heart. want my license
Smith -"Bo Seu sbeligya in the
Bible, Brother Meeks r. /.
Moeks-"Certainly L do--every word
Of it"
Smi.h-"If l can prove By the Bible
that you are not called to preach, will
you tie satisfied to drop the matter and
not further importune the Association

Brother Meeks assented to this and
Raccoon Smith deliberately opened the
I New Testament at Romans x, 15, and
in grave tone read, d,-"How beautiful
are the feet of them who preach tn
gospel Of peace" DC. Then gIa anciug at
Meeks large feet remarked: "You see,
Brother Meeks that the feet of the
preacher are beautiful. You sir have
the most monstrous ugly feet of any man
in the State OF Kentucky ther fore b.,
this Bible, it is clear that you have not
been especially called !" AS Smith
finished his remarks the Association
went off into paroxysm of laughter.

into the matter, was SO we'll satisfied
that he proposed that if a company with
a capital OF 100000 were formed he
would take stock to the amount of $32,
600, calculating to use portion of the
capital in laying out streets and con
strueting sewers. No difficulty was
experienced in forming the company,
several of the most prominent citizens Of
Augusta making up the required amount
above the $4,000. The capitalist re-
turned to England, and, as an evidence
that he meant business, Immediately re-
mitted thirty two tn ousaud dollars to
