AWEEk OF PRAYER
For the National, State and Local w. {
Z. U. Marcel, 18th to 26tb 1000

For the National, State and Local w. r.
u, March 18th to 25th, 1888.
/ BELOVED SISTERS We call every I'm
ION and every woman in our heroic constit
uency to spend week in united and ,pecial
prayer, both private and public, for such q
baptism Of wisdom and courage upon our.
selves, and such putting forth of divine
power as shall be felt in all this land. Rea.
sons: The year upon us is one of struggle
and Of destiny. Within these months the
temperance cause shall be in the very heart
OF mighty contest. Then let us pray.
First: . That upon our great organization
may come fresh impulse from Heaven
and on every active worker new amounting
of the spirit.
Second: For our unused membership, held
to US by pledge and name, but not con-
/ secrated to the spirit and activities of the
work. Let US ask God to call our own wo-
men from idleness to service.
Third: For the great body OF Christian
womanhood who yet stand afar from this
greatest of missionary agencies for the sal
walton of our own and other lands.
The meetings of the week need not be
widely public, nor their aim to invite uni
versal attention. Begin quietly an afternoon
meeting for prayer in your own usual place
of meeting, or in parlor, with the hearts
touched already with a longing for more of
God IN our work, and more of His power ON
all our people. Make special effort first for
all members of the Unions, that together we
may offer our prayers. If attendance Wild
ems, as it will, do not allow discussions upon
the temperance reform or set methods.
Seek God, seek Him alone for a great
awakening of the Church and the nation.
1he liquor traffic is here with its abomina-
lions, legalized because of spiritual death.
We need conscience aroused and made true
Sisters of the W. C. T. u, set the week
apart, hold at least one meeting day for
the quiet, I'm o.tentatious seeking of God
herein suggested
Two public evening meetings, with SER
mons, gospel talks, or conference, would be
OF great value. The evening of March 25th
might be made effective by Union services
where these can be secured. When the
churches cannot give way for this, hold such
meeting in the afternoon of that day. No
topics are suggested lest they lead from the
one central thought of all the days.
Many things you will remember: our
own work; our country's need and perils
the workers who must go out into the COM
ing contest the pleaders at the freside
the voters at the ballot box but this one
thing seek and find Gods touch of pow
er upon our own spiritual life, and the spir-
itual life of the nation.

Something of a Sensation.

Something of Sensation
Last Saturday young man named Arthur
Aspinwall, representing Buttrick & Co.,
millinery dealers, was arrested on the charge
of stealing watch in Durham. He told
his story as follows: While in Durham he
proposed to BUY watch from Mr.. J. B.
| Cole, clerk in the store of Mr.. ". F. Ellis
and carried it ont for examination by Jew
eler. He did not return the watch, but gave
1t to Mr.. w. +. Ellis, who was going north
on the next train, thinking it woula be a
good joke on Cole. He left Durham, went
to Greensboro, registered at the hotel and
staid three days. Then he came to Wins
ton and had been here more than day when
he was arrested by p. A. Brown, Chief of
Police of Durh am.
| Mr.. Brown had been drinking, and was so
utterly unfit for duty as to place handouts
| on Aspinwall, although A. made no resist
ance and was much smaller, physically. Nh.
Harris, Of Hotel Fountain and others protes-
ted against such treatment ofthe prisoner and
Winston policeman, Mr.. n D. Dowdy, was
asked to become responsible for his safe keer-
ing. This he did, and prisoner and officer
walked off,
While on the streets, Brown put the
handouts ON again, and acted in such
way as to give offense TO several gentlemen.
including Mr.. Ramos, of Richmond. Va.
Mr. Ramos, in very gentlemanly manner.
protested against the brutal treatment of the
prisoner and expressed the opinion that
prisoner was not guilty, that some mistake
had been made, SC, whereupon Brown cur
sed him. This led to the arrest of Brown,
who was carried before Mayor Buford and
fined So. in addition to 49, costs
As Brown carried the prisoner down the
streets, an angry crowd gathered and after
awhile he was told to take the shackles off
or the crowd would 'go for'' him. He did
1t. This crowd was composed of many of the
foremost young men of Winston, who we're
indignant over the brutal treatment of the
prisoner, though an entire stranger TO them.
1t was well for Brown that he did it. Pris.
oner and officer left on the evening train for
Durham. An officer from Greensboro, who
came up with Brown, was disguised at his
drinking and bad conduct and refused h
have anything to do with him.
We learn that Brown has since been sus. i
pended as an officer for this conduct, and he
certainly deserves dismissal, for acting in
way SO unbecoming an officer.
LATER Since the above was put in
type we have it from reliable authority that
Mr. Aspinwalls statement regarding the
watch was proven upon his return to Dur.
ham, and that he was set at liberty.

A Bold Theft,


Last Monday morning about nine o'clock
negro boy entered the dwelling house of
Mr.. FL. I. FOUGHT on Liberty Street and
committed bold theft. Mr. FOUGHT was in
the yard at work while his wife was attend
ing to her domestic affairs in her room. The
negro entered the house from the rear and
passing through the hall, went up stairs
where he opened Mrs. Foucht's trunk and
took her gold watch, pocket-book, which
contained some small change, and other val
uables. The negro was not discovered until
he reached the passage on his return, where
he met Mrs. FOUGHT, who enquired if he
wished to see Mr.. FOUGHT, to which the ne
gro replied he did. She told him where Mr..
+. wa. and then returned to her work. At
forwards when she asked her husband what
the negro wanted, he replied that he had
seen no negro. A search was then made
and the trunk found open and the articles
gone. Mr.. FOUGHT and the police officers
made diligent search for the negro Monday,
but, as yet, no clew to his whereabouts has
been learned. ~,
When strange negro or tramp comes
about your house watch him.

OUR NOBLE INSTITUTION.
quarterly Report of the Winston Benev
Olent Society

| olent Society.
The first quarter since the organization
OF our society having just expired, i
was deemed expedIent to have repol
of work done during the time prepared
and published in our local papers.
During the first month very little worl
was done. We had 10 become acquaint
ed with the plan of work, wards, needs
of applicants, etc.
The second month the work increased
| considerably; but in all cases the IN ana
| gers, before giving aid, Investigated the
| cases and rendered assistance either in
| provisions, wood or clothes-never in
money.
At this period it was found necessary
to appeal to the gentlemen for aid, in
order to meet the demands. Several re
sponded very cheertully and generously
to the appeal. Ten dollars was given by
Mr.. John w Hanes; $40 by Rev. Mr.
Lacey; S. by Mr.. t. L. Vaughn; SIS by
Mr.. w. B. Ellis, besides small amounts
given by other parties.
The need of such work as ours in
place of this size is plainly demon
strated, and we earnestly hope IS
time goes on to do better and more effec-
tive work in short, to carry out all the
aims for which our society was organized
The following report was carefully ex-
amined before submitting it to tire pub
lie by Mrs. Biting, Mrs. Wiley, Mrs.
Davis and Miss Carrie Watkins, who
constituted our Auditing Committee:
Collection at church. Observation-Disclosures. 55 "a
Dues and donations. ................. rs 80
Iotal-- .-...--.............. 13l OF
The amount disbursed was. -....... 100 SO
Leaving still in the treasury -......... 80 Is
Of the amount discussed $74.S3 was
paid tor provisions, $21.16 for wood and
$3.50 for rents. medicines, etc.
In the 1st ward was paid OUT. $25 Is
In the I'd ward was paid out -. SO so
in the Sd ward was paid out. -. % Oh
In the 4th ward was paid out. -. 90
AS the season advance. we notice a
decided decrease in the amount of money
spent in the different wards. This is due
to several causes. In the first place, we
begin to see more clearly which are the
worthy and which are the unworthy cases;
IN the second place. many whom we as.is-
ted during the severe weather have found
of some kind, or, at any
rate, do not consider themselves proteges
OF the society and in the third place,
many instances we're found in which the
ladies' thought the parties assisted were
making no effort to help themselves.
Of course, as soon as this discovery was
made no further help was given.
