ONE Of the party who attended
the Bible School Institute at the
Baptist Church in this city week be-
fore last writes to the American as
follows:
Upon the arrival of the party at
Clarksville at nightfall, a delegation
of citizens was waiting ready to take
them to their homes. The hearty
manifestations of eager hospitality
and good will made all the visitors
feel at home at once, and reciprocal
handshaking with mutual impulses
of good feeling possessed everybody.
On Friday morning at 8 o'clock
the Bible School Institute was or
ganized at the First Baptist Church,
under continuation of the faVOra-
bic auspices had from the beginning.
The opening hour found a full at
tendance of interested participants
and hearers, and with Rev. l.. b.
Fish as Conductor of the Institute,
congratulations were offered, at the
very start, upon the aQspieiOus OPEN
ing.
The meetings grew in interest, the
numbers in attendance increasing at
each session, until crowded houses
became the rule. Visitors kept
coming in up to the last hours of the
Institute, and the people of Clarks-
vile We'd with each other in MAX
ing everybody happy. When the
parting hour came. the hand-shak-
ing, the glistening eye and the heart
! FCI4 Of
with It's response, came from all
hearts.
The return trip was none the less
pleasant than any other part of the
excursion. The SilverthOrn, upon
her arrival at Clarksville, waited
until the last meeting was held and
| closed, and then, with the increased
numbers from the later accessions
by rail, the delegates all embarked
for the homeward trip. The moon
light ride was most enjoyable, and
/ the small hours of the morning found
many of the excursiOnists still feast
! ing upon its delights. The early
morning, too, found them up and
ready to enjoy the novel sight of
sunrise from the upper decks. The
safe arrival of the steamer landed a
well satisfied party at their homes.
Viewed from any standpoint then,
the Bible School Institute was a sue
cess. With the large numbers in
attendance upon the business meet
ings, the importance of the subjects
discussed, and the satisfactory con-
clusions reached, together with its
marked effect upon the religious ell
ement of ClarksviIle, the whole was
an affair long to be remembered.

summer Advertising.

The following is an extract from
an article published in the New
York Herald:
In the first case, advertising would
be be resorted to as the very best
means of forcing business. 1t pre-
sents, even to those not intending TO
purchase, so many attractions, both
as to goods and prices, that ecOnom-
ical resolutions melt away before
the tempting opportunities to secure
good bargains, and tagging business
is therefore spurred to activity. ON
the other hand, the brisk competi-
tion of thriving trade would be man
ifested by advertising. In antici-
patton of a prosperous season mer-
chants have stocked their stores
with the most attractive novelties
suited to the wants of the cOmmu-
nifty. These must be disposed OF
during the early summer months to
make room for the fall and winter
stocks.

North Carolina.
We take the following from the
Raleigh Observer:

We take the following from the
Raleigh Observer:
Now, if the population of the
State be 1910, 120 souls, our people
pay IS, 500, $50 for liquor, about ST.
100000 for education, and for their
religion 1869, $50 that is, they think
eight times as much of whiskey as
they do of education, and thirty
two times as much of whiskey as
they do of Christian faith. This is
a most humiliating confession for
us to make, and yet we are COM
PEELED to admit the truth, for what
people give their money for they
certainly appreciate. Let us now
compare the cost tofspirituous liquors
with some of the great farming in
terests of the State. There are 200,-
600 bales of cotton grown i'm North
Carolina annually. These bales will
average 400 pounds 10 cents per
pound this cotton will bring $8, ,0O0,-
000-all the cotton grown in the
State won't pay her whiskey bill by
$560,960 The wheat crop Of the
State amounts TO 2,254,64l bushels.
AT two dollars a bushel all the wheat
of the State won't pay for but about
half of Cur liquor bill. The corn
crop, which is Is, ,454, ,641 bushels, at
sixty cents a bushel, will realize but
one-third more than is expended
each year for that which impOver-
ishes the State, increases her taxes
and degrades her people.

Gen. 4. Beanregard on the European
War.


Our Gen. Beauregard has written
a private letter that has been pub
lished giving a "plan" of campaign.
We extract paragraph from il.
GAS you remark, Turkey offers
magnificent lines of defense-the
Danube and the Balkan mountains.
With two hundred thousand Con-
federate troops, | would guarantee
to hold them against any number
of Russians. If were in command
there / would fortify those lines
well, and with my irOnclad gun
boats i would prevent the construc-
tiOn of any bridges across the Dan
ube. l would send Gen. Forrest
with $4,000 or 0,000 cavalry to de-
stroy all the depots Of supplies, rail-
roads and bridges from the Danube
to middle Russia, thence to some
port of the Black sea, where l would
transport his command to some
other favorable point, say in the rear
of the Russian forces operating in
Asia, south of the Black sea. Forrest
would be provided with camels to
tIduSpOIt MS ISuI Helu dTlllleTys
baggage and light pontoon trains.
He would have also a full supply Of
carrier pigeons to keep me posted as
to his movements. My fleet i'm the
Black sea would keep it free of the
enemy's ships. l would destroy
their supplies at Odessa and any
other ports ON the Black sea. In
other words, would bring starva-
ton to my assistance. How long
do you think Russia could stand
such a defensive war? Moreover /
am confident that the other powers
of Europe will never allow Russia
to get any nearer to Constantinople
than the Balkan Mountains, if even
she gets there. Volta mon l)Ia1 de

j. Madison Wells, Anderson &

their dirty tracks very well. The
New Orleans correspondent of the
st. Louis Republican telegraphs /:
'In its examination of original re-
turning-bOard documents 10 day,
those canvassed by Wells a. Co., the
State Board of Canvassers discover
ed that in one parish large additions
in pencil had been made to the con-
sOlidated supervisors returns by the
Returning Board. This was disccv-
cred from duplicate statement just
furnished by the Supervisor of the

publican and substractions Of DEM

pan out as well, the actual returns
canvassed by the Returning Board,
nearly all of which are now i'm our
possession, will show that Tilden
received a majority Of 5000 votes i'm

destroy the returns, but they have

AN EXCITING ADVENTURE.
The Governor Of Texas and His Daugh-
ter Lost for Two Nights In the
Woods.

Inc GOYernOr OF IeXaS ana Ills Uaugf
ter Lost for Two Nights In tn
Woods.
We copy the following from tn
Galveston News of a late date. Gov
Henderson is well known in thi
section, was born and reared nea
Gallatin, and has many friends il
this State who will be glad to learr
of his lucky escape from what came
near being fatal affair:
Gov. Henderson and daughter
were found on Sunday morning al
Spring Station, International and
Great Northern Railroad, twenty.
four miles above Houston. They
had been out and lost since Friday
evening. Their buggy horse was
exhausted. Miss Sophia, who drove
her father-the latter being a para
lytic-took the wrong road, not
knowing the country. Over one
hundred men joined in the search
yesterday, and came in this morn
ing. Manager Hoxie ordered To-
comotive and special train to 90 af-
ter the Governor, which left at $3.50
and returned with the Governor and
Miss Sophia at p. IN.
Miss Henderson says that after
taking wrong road on Friday, she
drove all night, and on Saturday
morning was put on another road,
and at night was lost in the wilder
ness. Saturday morning dawned
nr1h faarVaf fAS.zr Il E.4f
The horse also became jaded and
unmanageable. Miss Henderson,
however, retained her presence of
mind.
The entire day Saturday was
passed without food, and in the vain
endeavor to retrace their steps to
the mill. In the evening Miss Hen
dersOn began to be alarmed, but
kept her fears from her father. She
never once thought but that she
could herself eventually make her
way to some habitatiOn, but she
trembled for her father, who was
able to walk few yards.
AS the sun went down she tried to
drive across a gully, the whip by
this time being worn out, and the
horse completely given out, slipped
back under the buggy. At this
juncture Miss Henderson took her
paralytic parent by the arms and
dragged him out from under the We
hicle, where he had fallen. 1t was
then determined to abandon the
horse and buggy, and Gov. Hender-
son and his daughter spent the night
under a tree, the Governor sleeping,
but his heroic daughter not shutting
her eyes. On Saturday morning
Miss Sophia saw that her father
must faint unless sustenance was
procured. She therefore left him,
determined to make her way to the
mill they had left. Wandering
about in the woods from $3.50 to $3.50 |
4. M, she heard some OK bells and |
chickens. She came to a creek and |
spent an hour seeking a place to |
cross. AT last she got to a negro |
cottage. An old negro took her i'm |
