Our friend, Chancellor H. G. Smith,
had he been here on Monday, would
have witnessed some demonstrations
which render his reelection altogether
uncertain. A few weeks since the coun-
ty was regarded as solid for him but by
some sort of shi-can-a-ree" he has been
made to loose his grip and the fruits,
which appeared to be his alone and al
ready within his grasp, have proven a
sort of Dead Sea fruit-iilusory and bit
ter. Well to repeat the significant ex
preston of Mr.. Suggs, somebody has
got to suffer-" and perhaps our worthy
friend may console himself with the
christian reflection that it might as well
be himself as any one else. We doubt
not that the friends of candidates for
Congressional honors feel altogether sat
isfied that it had better. be candidates
for the CHARACTERISTIC than the expect
ant successors of Randolph. All right

is not to be found by the eemm unistica
method of tearing down, but by the nat
ural-one of building up. 1t will come
with the return of profitable industry,
and not before. Industry will be profit
able just as soon as confidence is so far
restored that capitalists can venture to
invest in Industrial enterprises with a
reasonable hope for profit. There is not,
neither can there be, division of inter
est between capital and labor, and those
who are striving to create an unnatural
antagonism between the two, are public
enemies, and should be treated as such.

Special Notice.
The Antecedents of Disease.

Among the antecedents of disease are inertness
in the circulation of the blood, unnaturally at
tenuated condition of the physique, indicating that
the life current is deficient in nutritiye properties,
a wan, Ia ggard look inability to digest the food,
tion Of unnatural languor. All these may be re-
garded as among the indcia of approaching. dis
ease, which will eventually attack the system and
overwhem it, if it is not built and fortified in
advance. Invigorate, then, without loss of time,
making choice of the greatest vitahzing agent
extant, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, elixir
which has given health and vigor to myriads of
the sick and debilitated, which is avOuched by
physicians and analysts to be pure well effec-
tive, which is immensely popular in this country,
and extensively used abroad, and which has been
for years past of the leading medicinal staples
of America.

At an election in Weldon, n. C., on
the 9Th, serious riot and fight took
place, in which one man was killed and
several others wounded. The facts APP
pear that on that morning squad of col
ored men from Northamton county,
headed by black man named Purnell,
marched into Weldon that morning and
attempted to vote They were Joined
by etherunruly colored men in the town,
and the polls were besieged and the
judges forced to flee. A collision took
place and the colored men were beaten
off by the whites. The polls were open
ed in another place, and here the dusky
belligerents again congregated in force
and venten their fury in hooting and
yelling and parading up and down the
street with clubs and firearms, and
swearing they intended to take posses
sion of the tewn and burn it. A second
collision took place, and firearms were
freely used by both parties. PurnelI
placed a revolver to the breast of Mayor
Thomas L. Emory, but bofore firing he
was shot down by the bystanders and
died from his wounds in few hours.

THE CLOSE.

We hope the Conference will close its
labors in the next two weeks and let
this great body of Christian workers re-
turn to their various avocations. We
may not, however, be able to do so be-
fore the last of the month. The body
is entirely too large for dispatch in
transacting its business, and steps are
taking in the direction of amending the
restrictive rule and reducing the num-
Der of delegates about one half.
The various committees are working
vigorously and doing all that can DE
done to do the work in the shortest time
possible in which it can be we'll done.
All those who have been unnecessari-
ly alarmed about great organic changes
in our polity and innovations on old
fashioned Methodism may allay their
fears. This General Conference is thor
oughly conservative and the discipline
of the Church will be but little changed.
Next week we expect the fraternal dele
gates from the NJ. f. Church. Atlanta
is already full of visitors and we hear of
many more who are expected in the
next ten days. L. P. S.

We copy from the Memphis DIP

notice of Col. Moses White. of Knox
Vile. We have known Nose White
from 6oyhood, and heartily under

He belongs to a family historic in

not be ashamed of;
From the Memphis Appeal.

found better man than the subject

lineage-for where is there q more
honOred name, which he has always
upheld ?-and in all the qualities
necessary to adOrn such position
be cannot be excelled. OF popular
manners, splendid talents, and 6
native of the soil, how could we seek
for a better man? Here in Memphi;
he is known and greatly esteemed
and his nomination would be haileC
f! with pleasure. Let his East Ten

hearty response would reverberatt

QUApRENNIAL REPoRT.

Since my last the Bishops have sub
mitted their quadrennial report to the
General Conference. This admirable
document, we are told, issued from the
heart and brain of that prince of divines,
Bishop Doggett. We hope every one,
especially every Methodist, will read it
carefully and inwardly digest its great
living truths. We have never seen any-
thing superior to it in literary merit, or
in forcible expression of momentous
truths. The Bishops, in their address,
ask the Conference for the election of
one additional Bishop at the present ses-
sion The sentiment of the Conference
seems to be to release the Bishops from
the responsibility of holding the District
Conferences and elect no new Bishop.
1t is, however, impossible to predict
with certainty what may be done until
we have further developments.

Doctors of Divinity second to none in

that day bring forth thirty and sixty and

rank amongst the very best church
