JAIL DELIVERY.

Greenvil!e had another jail delivery
Sunday morning, in bread day time.
The jailer went to the prison in the
morning and turned the inmates from
their cells into the corridor, as usual
He then left and upon returning
about two hours later with their
rations found the building empty.
II was discovered that the prisoners
had cut hole through the brick wall
the corridor from the fue'
room, and passing through this the
balance of the exit was almost with.
out obstruction. Near the hole was
found an axe, chair post and a
piece of plank that had been torn
from the floor With these too's
they made quick work of it. How
they got the axe is not known but
it is supposed one of the prisoners
it from the fuel room. The
Jail had five occupants. four of whom
made their escape. The other was
a partially insane man who got out
and went to look for the Sheriff
instead of going off with the prisoners.
This makes the second time prison
ers have escaped from the jail this
year.-GreenviI'e Reflector.

not but wonder at the apathy and

where such things are allowed by the
authorities. We should call halt
in this matter. The Sabbath should
be day of rest. 1t is bad enough
for INDIVIDUALS to desecrate that
day, but when it comes to whole
communities turning out to witness a
game of ball on Sunday. it deserves
a severe rebuke,. Individual Sab

too bad, and should be promptly

sistent war against the present and
growing desecration of the Sabbath
would in a short time completely
revolutionize public sentiment.
We are rated as Christian Nation
and there stands unrepealed on
the Divine Statute Book the Com
mandment:
Remember the Sabbath day to
keep it holy"
The penalties imposed for its viola
ton are absolutely appalling. Net
processing belief in the Divine origin
and authority OF the Commandments
and of the Word of God. we, az indi-
viduals and as Nation p-rslstentlv
disregard its laws and live in daily
violation Of them. We profess one
thing and practice another. Profess
ing Christianity, we are practically
infidels. Delay in denunciation, and
III the lnflCtion of punishment may
lul! us into false serenitv-deepen
and strengthen our practical unbeliel;
but let US not be deceived-for "Our
God is a jealous God" and in an
hour, and in a way we think not, He
will most assuredly call US to an
account.
1t is time for the Christian m MIS-
try, all true Christians everywhere,
and the almost ubiquitous press to
cry aloud and spare not" against
the strengthening inhdelity in Church
and State, which, W thout protest,
excuses, palliates, or permits the
dcsecration Of this holy day.

audience he was most enthusiastically
applauded, and friends of all ways Of
thinking crowded upon him and
expressed their appreciation Of his
noble sentiments and admirable bear
ing. Three cheers were given him
most heartily, and one prominent
member of the convention called for
three cheers for Senator Stedman,"
which were given with will.
Shortly after he had taken his seat
Judge Fowle appeared, accompanied
ny his committee OF escort. ani it
seemed as if the roof would ne raised
~ the tremendous cheering that
reeted his entrance. He made his
way with difficulty to the platform,
every hand he met being stretched
out in cordial congratulation. Final.

possible, am! procee,led TO speak Of
his appreciation Of the high honor
that had been done him, of his read-
ness to 90 to work in behalf Of the
cause of Democracy and Constitu
tional government and o. his deter
mination to write another great
victory ON the Democratic banner.
He stood before the Democracy of
the State Of North Carolina to signify
his willingness and intention to do
ali in his power for the honor and
success Of that party. He paid
glowing tribute to both Stedman and
Alexander. He referred to the con
dition Of our State treasurer as a
proof Of Democratic economy. He
then turned with words OF highest
eulogy to the farmers, whom he
termed the backbone of the State
He said that he had been nearly
beaten by the gallant Stedman, but
the farmers had come nearer beating
them all, and he believed if they had
had 80 days more for the fight they
would have swept the field. He
referred to the great leader of the
Democratic party, Grover Cleveland,
and the great era Of reform inaugura
ted by him His address elected
the most enthusiastic applause and
was thoroughly appreciated.

THE ROAD THAT JESUS TROD.
BY HAMILTON AIDE.

(Written between Jerusalem and Jerico)
Among the rocky hills there winds
A way where little water flows;
Nor shade from trees the traveller finds,
Nor vendure to invite repose:
But names we spelt, and loved to learn,
In childhood, from the Word of God,
Greet us like friends at every turn
Of that rough road that Jesus trod.
II.
To right and left that rocky range
Saw His uprise, His bowling down;
The thOrns He suffered do not change,
These are the children of His Crown.
The bitter waters that betray,
The silver star that lights the sod,
They are the same, unchanged to- day,
AS on the road that Jesus trod.
III.
And when the scene of all His pains
Has faded from our mortal sight,
May their remembrance fill our veins
With strength to suffer and to fight
To suffer for our fellow-man,
To fight for truth tnat comes from
God.
Far from Judea pilgrims can
Thus tread the road that Jesus trod.
Good Words.

VENTION.
CLOSING sCENEs-ELOQUENT SPEECH
ES BY MAJOR STEDMAN AND
JUDGE FOWLE.

Raleigh News and Observer The
committees retired. Maj Stedman
came in under escort Of the commit
tee, and as he entered the hall was
greeted with applause that rang and
rang again through the immense
auditorium, and continued until the
distinguished gentleman stood upon
the platform. Then there was hush
of respectful attention. and Chairman u
Cox introduced the favorite so long
stoutly supported and hotly battled
for by ballot. Maj. Stedman is one
of the handsomest men to be found
in days journey. His physique is
superb, and his manner is that of the
cultured, courtly, gallant gentleman
that he is. His face was pale with
the emotion that was but natural
under the trying circumstances of the
occasion, but his bearing Was admira-
bic in the highest degree, proving the
possession of that true pluck he has
always shown. His speech was un-
faltering, clear as bell, and his
words were distinctly heard in the
farthest corner Of the building. He
began by saying he was for the nomi-
nees of the convention whoever they
might be, and pledged the faithful
service in their behalf all know is
forthcoming from Chas. M. Stedman
at the call of the Democratic party
He said he could not find words to
express his thanks for the hearty,
and long sustained sup
port he had received. while at the |
same time he had no unkind feeling
and no thought of reproach for any
who had preferred to him another.
1t matters not who the Democracy
so he was a Democrat
ried and true. He charged the noble
Irray of the grand old Democratic
,arty of North Carolina before him
ssembled to lay aside common diff
erences and present an unbroken
olumn and acquit themselves il +,
nanner to realize the traditions, the {
opes and the prophecies of their
ncestors.
It is safe to say that he won the T
dmiration Of every man in the hall. {
lie has been very generally admired,
ldeed, by the Democracy of the t
tate for the sterling qualities he e
assesses. but we venture to say that q
ter his superb bearing under defeat I
is admiration has been increased
hundred fold and widened through t,
It the whole extent of North Caro- G

Sannorting Local Papers.

The people of Radford will not look in
the direction of advertising the town. They
will even attempt to cripple their town
paper by patroniZing Offices OF other towns
with their Job work and SO forth. Still,
everyone expects the Democrat to boom
Radford for all it's worth.-Radtord Va. }
Democrat
We have seen many cases of this kind,
and some business men seem to be incapa-
BILE of approaching the fact that every
good local paper does its town ten times as
much good as it is ever paid for. Men
having large interests in a town and deeply
concerned as TO its progress often try to
see how little they can do for their own
local papers. The papers of the South are
to-day doing far more for the good of their
country than they receive credit for. Day
after day and week after week they are
telling of its advantages of soil, climate
and minerals and of its progress. The
facts which they give are widely published
in other papers, and thus the good work is
carried far beyond their Immediate circle
of readers. The Manufacturers Record
has often noted with ad 1iratiUn the great
work that Southern pa pers are doing, and
regretted to see how poorly in many cases
they are supported by the people whose in
terests they are serving.-BGasHsorc Nan.

The DURHAM EXPOSITION.-The GOLD
LEAF rejoices in the prosperity of so enter
prising people as those of Durham. They
have the push and plIck that is necessary
to build cities and promote new enter
prises. Not content with the prestige she
has already won, she proposes to hold a
grand tobacco and industrial exposition
which promises to be worthy of such a
progressive and ambitious little city as
Durham. The exposition will open Oc-
tober 10th and hold three days. A circular
setting forth the attractive features says:
Besides liberal premiums, we will have
the grandeSt and most elaborate display OF
fireworks ever shown in the State the
longest street parade of floats, exhibiting
the mechanical and manufacturing inter-
estS of the town of Durham, and the larg-
est crowd of people, probably, ever assem-
bled in North Carolina. Hon. A. III.
Scales, Governor of the State, will open
the exposition. Hon. 5. 3. Alexander. of
Mecklenburg, will deliver the agricultural
and mechanical address on the first day.
Sunset Cox, of New York, Gov. Gordon,
of Georgia, Hon. J. w. Daniel, of Virginia,
and Senators Vance and Ransom will be
here and speak. There will be a general
display of ali the industries and enterprises
of Durham. Several bands of music, and
many visiting military and fire companies
will be in attendance. There will also be
a reunion of the 9th n G. Regiment and
grand tournament and coronation.

who know him need not be told that he is
