Freemen's Meeting.

The day was fine, though hot. In
this town there was not full vote, al
though as large as could be expected
outside of Presidential year. The whole
governor vote was 982, against 1902
two years ago. But as that was the
year of Presidential election, and as the
candidate for Governor was a citizen of
this town, the vote this year should be
compared with four years ago, which
was 79S, making a gain of "a. This
gain was all on the Democratic side, the
vote this year being l91 against 90 four
years agO-Or gain of 90.
For town representative, there were
three candidates voted for, and the re-
suit of the first and only ballot was as

THE "GUARANTEED DEBT" OF THE JAMES
RIVER AND KANAwHA C0MPANY.-The fol-
lowing appeared in the Dispatch of De-
cember 9Th as part OF the proceedings Of
the stockholders OF the James River and
Kanawha Company:
"General Ewing replied to Major john
stcn, and said that he had taken fair and
intelligent view OF the omission referred to
(bonds OF the old James River Company
and guaranteed by the Statc), and thought
that the omission in the schedule had been
intentional on the part of the officers OF the
canal company, under whose direction the
schedule of debts named in the contract had
been prepared"
The above paragraph having been misun-
derstood by number OF our readers, it is
proper and Just to the officers Of the James
River and Kanawha Company to say that
there should have been added the statement
that General Ewing supposed the omission
'.intentional from the fact that the debt
referred to did not appear in the printed
reports Of the company which he had, and
he therefore concluded that the canal COM
pany rcgard ded the obligation as one for
which the State alone was liable. General
Ewing subsequently remarked that he was
satisfied the omission was from inadYert-
ence-and so everybody else regards it.
At the last meeting of the stockholders OF
the company the committee to whom the
| subject was referred unanimously recon-
mended, in order to settle all doubt OH the
question, that the guaranteed debt be in
| cIuded in the schedule debts TO be paid by
the Richmond and Alleghany Railroad Com
puny.

TEMPERANCE MEETING AT PARK-PLACE
METHODIST CRUgCH.-A temperance meet
ing was held at Park Place Methodist church
last night. The meeting was opened With
prayer and the reading OF a portion Of Scrip
ture; after which Mr.. butcher addressed
the meeting, giving a food Of testimony
from personal experience. His statement
OF the Daniel Wehsters, the AIexan der
Hamiltons, the Silas Wrights. the Sam
Hayses, the Robert Burnses, the Edgar
Allan Poes. the Senator McDougals, and the
Richard Yateses, and numberlcss Others
that had gone down under the power OF tis
mighty enemy, should serve, he said, as q
warning to the young and rising gene
ration, and prevent them from tamperiug
with the coils OF the terrible serpent Of the
still.
Mr.. butcher made an appeal in behalf OF
the suffering women and chldren-wives
OF drunken husbands-and sought to
arouse the sympathy Of all who heard him.
He was followed by Mr.. Wells, who
treated the subject mostly from Bible
standpoint. He said that every nation and
every people that had existed in the ages OF
the past had had their great battles to fight.
The land had been made red with blood OF
victims shed by fanaticism. religious perse-
cutions, wild ambition, and the seltishness
and coveteousness of man. The great enc
my OF our country at the present time was
rum. 1t was laying the foundation for the
downfall OF our country; it was doing
more. to prevent the advancement OF the
cause OF Christianity than all other causes
combined, and was the great stumb-
ling-block in the way OF the advance
ment OF the Church. Gods laws are
immutable and never change. He has COM
manGed us to put away the evil OF our
doings from before His eyes. Wash
We, make you cIean." The speaker CON-
tended that there was nothing clean about
the liquor traffic; that the nation to- day had
its hands red in the blood OF the victims
which it unrighteousIy authorized certain
persons to produce. In other words, the
nation and the States justified the wicked
for reward, and we must look for nothing
less than the woe pronounced upon peo-
pie that will do such things.
The pledge was then presented, the first
signer being young man who came for
ward alone from the lower end OF the room.

FIRE on LEIGH STREET YESTERDAY AF-
TERNooN.-At 5 O'Clock last evening fire
broke out in one Of the servants rooms in
rear of the brick dwelling-house No. Sl1
Leigh street, owned by Mr.. ". II. Lyme,
and occupied by Mrs. Maria II. Wood as a
clearinghouse. The fire originated, it is
supposed, from the mantelpiece becoming
overheated, or from spark getting into
one OF the beds. An alarm was turned in
at Station No. 8, Second Police District
headquarters, and almost Immediately at
forwards an alarm was turned in at
Station IL, corner of Ninth and Leigh
streets, which so confused the striking that
some OF the apparatus went downto Station
81. The Broad-Street steamer (No. 81 and
hose.carriagc, however, proceeded to Sta
tion 8, and ascertaining the locality OF the
fire, drove rapidly down Leigh street, at
tachcd their hose to the plug at the corner
OF Eighth and Leigh, and in two minutes
the fire was under control. When the men
first reached the scene the flames were burst
ing out OF the windows, and the high wind
was blowing them into the back porch Of
the main dwelling, and it looked as though
that bni!ding would take fire; but
the well-dirccted stream alaved all ap-
prehensons on that score, and as the
water was put into the window and the fire
at once deadened, the crowd that had gath.
cred in the vicinity cheercd very Justify.
