TIE LINCOLN STREET MEETINGS

a full house was present last night at
the Lincoln street Presbyterian church,
where the revival meetings are in progress
Rev. +. NJ. Symmes preached powerful
sermon from Isaiah l., Is, 10, Come, let
us reason together; though your sins be
as scarlet, they shall be white as snow, and
though they are red like crimson, they
shall be like wool" The speaker showed
that in the reasoning which God proposes
with men, two things are to be agreed
upon as settled, and, therefore, not to be
discussed-frst, that, by nature, never is
a sinner whose guilt is as striking as scar
let and crimson; and second, that it shall
be pardoned and cleansed until he is pure
like snow and wool These points admit
ted, God invites man to reason the
case, but unless these be adj
mitted he can hold no audience with
man. The discourse was most log
ical and convincing. as well as impressive
and touching. The reverend gentleman
has an unusual faculty of presenting
things in lucid, original and forcible
light. He is to preach each evening at
$50 o'clock. There was deep and earnest
attention last night. An encouraging in
terest is developing both among the mem
bers of the church and outsiders. One of
the hopeful features and efficient adjuncts
of the meeting is the prayer and conference
meeting of the Young Peoples Society of
Christian Endeavor, at $50 o'clock in the
lecture room, where good work is being
done among the young.

Colonel David DOdd.

Col. David Dodd was born about
the date Of 1870 and died about the
date of 1918. He is a great grand
father of Rep. DIR. Willie Murphy
and Mrs. Ann E. Murphy. He was
Colonel in the Revolutionary war
and fought bravely TO gain the liber-
ty for his country. There are some
relics of Col. Dodd that arc worthy
of note. The house / now live in
was built by him before the Declare
ton of Independence and was COW
cred with cypress shingles which are
now upon the house and sound. His
grave yard post has been stand 'ng
so V ears, and there is no sign OF de-
cay. I understand that Mrs. Ann E.
Murphy has his arm chair yet. In
the yard of the old homestead there
is 8 white oak tree that measures q
feet around one foot above the
ground, and 10 feet at the limbs.
Many of the limbs are near so feet
in length. This tree is growing in
that immense gravel bed, at Fishers
Mill Creek, of which we wrote a
few weeks since. Col. D0dd's yard
was of those beautiful pebbles. The
lightwood stumps of $50 years of age
are yet sound. There must be some

Timely Advice.

An eX-Sanipsonian writing from
brownsville, Ga, has the following
to saw about y ung men leaving
home:
"You would be surprised to know
the number of letters have receiv-
ed from young men in Sampson
county telling me they are coming
to Georgia this fall. Tell them for
me to remain in North Carolina. 1
wish something could be done to
stop them from leaving home. Tell
them times here are much harder
for young men without trade than
in North Carolina, unless they wish
to do negroes work. hope some
thing can be done to keep them in
my native State. Very truly,
J. G.. ID. HERRING"
This is good advice and our young
men who are thinking of leaving
their native~State should profit by
the experience of those who have
gone, and take their advice.

Jealous and Faithful"

The Biblical Recorder has the fol-
lowing to say of the late Rev. Mr..
Spivey, SO well known in this
county:
."Rev. III. S, Spivev died at his
home near Clinton, n. c., on the
18th of April last. Brother Spivey
was born in Gates county, n. c., on
the 9TH Of September, 1900; and for
many years was a Jealous and faith;
full minister of the gospel of Christ.
He was well known and greatly be-
loved by multitude of his brethren,
having been pastor in many counties
of the State. We met him for the
first time at Billiards. Bridge church,
Chowan county, in May, 1866, and
learned to love and honor him for
zeal and devotion to the cause OF
Christ. Most of his day and gener-
attain had gone before him and
awaited his entering into the rest

Closing Exercising.

ship, which for the last four years
has been under the management of
the present active and energetic
Principal, j. ID. Ezzell, took place
on last Friday. Notwithstanding
the disagreeableness otthe day, there
was large crowd present. The ex-
ercise5 opened with speeches by the
little folks and essays by the girls.
Just before noon came the speech of
State Auditor, Geo. w. Sanderlin.
His plea to young men to become
farmers and TO young women to be-
come farmers wives, was able and
convincing. 1t is unnecessary to say
to those who have ever heard Mr..
Sanderlin that his speech was deliv-
cred in most fascinating style,
teeming with wit, humor and fluent
and ppropriate anecdotes.
The dinner was excellent and
bountiful, such as the liberal and
hospitable people of that section al
ways give.
In the afternoon came the decla-
nations and debate by the rep,esen.
tatives of the Literary Society. The
medal, offered by Mr.. w. y. john
son, of Clinton, for best scholarship,
during the year, was awarded to
Miss Fannie McPhail, and very hap
PLY presented by Mr.. F. r. Cooper,
of the Clinton bar.
The exercises at night consisted OF
music and very amusing and laugha-
BILE dialogues and recitations.
The Principal, on behalf of the
trustees, announced at the close, that
the school would open as usual next
Fall. 1t is impossible to estimate
the wonderful results Of such g
school in a commuT ity, and while
Sampson now probably leads all 9th
er counties in the State in this re
spect, yet she needs at least a hal
dozen more such institutions.

Mr.. Anderson stated that the mu.
