Call q Convention.

1t is time the executive committee
of the 9th congressional district were
taking some action towards holding a
convention. Mr.. o. S. Hayes is the
chairman, we think, and we hope he
will call the committee together and
call convention. We suggest Lum-
berton as the place to hold the district
convention. The convention should
be held to organize and select two
delegates and two alternates to repre-
sent the district at the Chicago con-
vention, but not to nominate a candi-
date for Congress. We think late in
the summer will be time enough to
nominate the candidate. Let us hear
from you and your committee, Mr..
Hayes.

M. E. Zion Reform Church in the city.

Dear Editor Please allow us
space in your well-known journal to
say to the citizens of this city, that
we have passed off few days here in
pleasure and happiness, during which
time we have organized Church of
the Methodist Episcopal Zion Reform
connection. We came here by the re-
quest of friends and citizens, and wish
to work in unity with all other de-
nominations throughout the city, as
we do in other places. Our general
fund is 20 cents per member. Our
form of Church government seems to
meet the approval of the people in
general. We truly hope that we may
work in sympathy and hearty co-ope-
ration with all evangelical churches,
and the presence of the citizens is de-
sired at our religious worship, from
time to time, on f. Myers street. j.
W. Roberts has the supervision of the
Church. We are forever your SER
wants in the cause of Christ.

LangstOn in Rockingham.

The Hon. John NJ. Langston spent
last Sunday and Monday in Rocking
ham. 1t seems that some years ago a
member of the Wall family was car
ried to Ohio, who has since died,
leaving an estate of about 500, 900
to be divided among a number of
heirs, several of whom are in Rock
ingham. This was a colorcd woman,
and of course the heirs are all colored.
Mr.. LangstOn is executor and attor-
ney for the estate, and was here look
ing after and identifying the Rocking
ham heirs. Matters were very easily
adjusted, as he had no trouble in find
ing all the heirs. A portion of the
heirs are still in Ohio, and some in
other places. Capt. o. S. b. Wall, of
Washington City, is one of the heirs.
Mr.. Langston lectured in the court
house on Monday night, and made a
very fine impression on his hearers.
He is distinguished lawyer and a
polished scholar.
One hundred thousand dollars is a
pretty good little sum to fall to Negro
heirs from a Negro parent, and we are
glad that much of it will come to
North Carolina.
