WAR II GII,aER.-At tho recent
term of the County Court Of Gil
mer county, two applications were
male for druggists liccnsc-.onc by
A. W. Stalnakcr, Of Troy, and the
other hy DR.. Gamer. Of Tanners
Vile. The Court. after considering
the question for several days, re-
fused to grant the license asked,al-
though the applicants in each case
furnished the certificate required by
law. II seems that in Gilmer tic
Court cannot discriminate between
q saloon and Il drug store. The fact
is, n druggist does not and cannot
lawfully sell liquoras liquor, but
only ~ medicine, upon the pre-
-rription Of physician; but the
Court seemed 10 alarm tilHt ufuT'
gists, doing Il legitimate business,
had no rights which they were
bound TO respect. The conse-
Qucnce is, TINT the applicants have
applied to Judge l}r"nnon for Il
mandamus to compel tho Court 10
grant the license required, upon the
ground that the Court CATER the
applicants had done all that was
required of them By )aw) had no
discretion in the matter, hut mutt
Grant the rr,migcl license.

THE LAVE MRS. pANpR1naE.

Last Sunday week, the 18th instans,
the funeral of the late Mrs. Ann
Overton cambridge was preached in
the Baptist Church, at Germantown,
in this county, by the Rev. Mr.. Lind
sey. Mrs. cambridge was a native of
Hanover county, Va, and her maiden
name was Goodwin. She was born
December 9th, 1874, and died at the
residence of her son-in-law, Mr..
Joseph Brooks, at Ridgeway, in this
county, October Sd, 1878. She was
therefore nearly e~ighty-fve years old.
Her husband was Colonel Robert
Amber cambridge, who served
in the war Of 1872, in a Vir-
GINA cavalry regiment, and was
a near relative Of Martha Washington,
whose maiden name was cambridge.
They were married at the close of the
war Of 1872 and removed TO Harde.
man county, in this State, about the
year 1926, where Colonel cambridge
was a successful planter. He died
about 1910 and his widow never mar
ried again. She was j quiet, elegant
lady Of the old-time type, and was
greatly respected and beloved. The
latter part of her life was passed most
ly with her children and grand chill
dren at Forest Hill and Ridgeway.
Twenty years ago she protested reli-
gion, and only four years ago joined
the Baptist Church at Germantown.
Her life and her means we're devoted
TO good works in q quiet and unOsten-
tatious manner. When the lamp
Of life burned down to its
socket she dropped of as if
going to sleep. This occurred at
the time the yellow fever was at its
worst in this city and county, and the
event was therefore scarcely noticed
outside Of the family at the time. She
was buried in the family vault on the
old place at Forest Hill. A daughter,
two grandchildren, five or six great
grandchildren and few friends only at
tended the funeral. She leaves only
two daughters, Mrs. Benjamin Cash
and Mrs. Joseph Brooks, but several
grandchildren and great grandchildren
as well as a select circle of friends to
cherish the memory of one who set q
good example and lived a sweet and
blameless life. The funeral sermon
was eloquent Of her Christian virtues,
and was listened to by a large congre-
CATION, including members Of the
family.

ST. LOUIS.
Savings Bank suspended-COnse-
quent Excitement.

ST. Louis, May 22.-The Broadway
Savings Bank closed its doors this
morning in accordance with a decision
reached by the directory at a late
hour last night, and made an assign
ment.
The liabilities are put at abont
100000. The assets cannot be stated,
but the president of the bank thinks
the ~depositors will be paid in full and
that there will be something over for
the stockholders. There is consider
able excitement among depositors to-
day, and there has been quite a crowd
at the bank all morning, but it has
been orderly. Depositors in some
other savings banks felt some uneasi-
ness, and there have been rumors of
runs, etc., but none have yet oc-
Cured.

that he could not FIX any time.
Mr.. Harris-Name the time and

Mr.. Congsr-I will name the third
Tuesday of January. laughter
Mr.. Frye remarked that the bill
affected every large corporation in the
country and should be considered by
the judiciary committee.
Mr.. Cox was willing to have a vote
taken on that motion, but with the
understanding in case of its being
voted down there should be no more
dilatory motions.
The Republicans declined to enter
into any such arrangement, and Mr..
Cox exclaimed we cannot trust YOU"
Finally, as all efforts at compromise
failedand as the Republicans declined
to vote, there was a call of the house.
The call of the house consumed the
morning hour and the bill went over
without action until Saturday next.
Consideration was then resumed of
the Warner silver bill, and the house
agreed to the committee amendment
to the bin, which provides that certi6-
Gates of deposit shall be in sums of
five dollars, instead of ten dollars, as
originally provided in the bill.

SARATOGA.
Reports Concerning the Spread Of
Presbyterianism Among the
COlOred People.

SARATOGA, May 22.7-At the open
ing Of the Presbyterian general assem-
bly, a resolution requesting Rev. DR..
Patton not to accept the invitation to
a pr~ofesSorship in England, but to re-
main here, was unanimously adopted.
Judge brakes resolution to post
pone consideration of the report on
representation went over.
The report of the committee on
missions for freedmen was presented.
The Rev. DR.. Allison, of Pittsburg,
addressed the assembly on the report.
DR.. Allison deprecated the attempt to
consolidate the freedmen's matters
with home missions. He said the
previous action of the assembly had
given assurances of the maintenance
of the freedmen's concerns separate
and contributions had consequently
Increased to them. They have not
done anything to prejudice the Presby-
terrain Church in the South, but are
cordially welcomed by the leading
Presbyterians in the South.
Rev. Moses A. Hopkins (colOred)
Of the Yadkin presbytery, said they
asked to have their work judged on
is merits, and deprecated all express
sions of pity. Give colored men their
share of the road as they travelled and
they would get along. They want a
permanent existence to put on their
manhood. He said the idea that
the colored people did not APP
preciate educated ministers was a
mistake, and that he preached written
sermons on Sunday. The people in
his community took to Presley strong
ly. They love to turn out to church
and are trying to learn to read. He
told how they all took hold at this
request and built a church, which was
paid for when dedicated.
Rev. NJ. G. johnson (colored), Of
the presbytery of Fairfield, said the
people seemed anxious to understand
presbytery and embrace it. All that
is needed is encouragement by sym
pathy and aid. They don't want to be
carried on the shoulders Of the people
North, but just be taken by the hand
as a child is taught to walk. The
work has been making great progress
in the last ten years. The harvest
there is great, but labOrers few. The
educated ministry o fthe presbytery is
appreciated aud has power, which is
felt by the old time ignorant preachers
who contend against it.
Rev, Maygayer Ghaskins, president
of the Scottish Seminary, said hat
the Presbyterians are getting to be
known for their high character Of
morality and knowledge. AS people
become educated they are ready to
join the Presbyterian Church. The
freedmen want schools and churches
alpnted together, They want every
one interested in the work to come
