FOB THE RIVER PATROL.

Coroner Mcdowell Expntiates Upon the
Necessity of the Plan.
Coroner Mcdowell said last evening with
regard to the ordinance providing for a
river patrol boat: 81 don't want anything
In the world except good service. The
fact is that there are some bodies in the
rivers to-day, and although they may not be
called what you term leading citizens, there
may be friends of theirs who lament their
loss.
"I think patrol boat would obviate all
necessity for the employment of divers on
certain occasions, where the relatives can
afford them, and show the people that the
poor mans brother or sister, as the case
might be, is as well looked alter as Mrs.
Sartofius' would be-"

There will be room for all who wish
to be present. The Reception Committee is

nEat1ug some Cnafgess
Rev. George Street, pastor of the Mt.
Washington Baptist Church, preached to
the VIM. Penn Council, Jr o. U. A. NJ,
last Sunday week, and subsequently some
person or persons started report that his
remarks were not palatable to the members.
Just what he said that was judged objec-
fed, but the affair has stirred up the coun-
Gil, and committee has been appointed to
investigate.
A member states that the sermon pleased
him very much as a whole, though he
thought Rev. Street dvelt upon the impor-
taDce of joining the Baptist Church to a
greater extent than he, the member, thought
necessary, but he supposes that may have
been in the line of the minister's duty, or
that he might suppose it SO at least.

A NEW COUNTY.

The present Legislature will be ask
ed to a form new county out of the
territory lying in the counties of Ran
dolph, Guilford, Forsyth and David
son, with High Point as the county
seat There is said to be much inter-
est manifested in the matter. The
High Point Enterprise says:
The people living within the terri
tory which will form this new coun-
ty are almost to unit in favor of
the proposition. This is not new
question, but one which has been dis
cnssed and commented on for years.
We are informed that bill would
have passed the Legislature, at one
time creating this new county, if there
had not been some disagreement
about the county seat. We think
that this is all settled now, and every
one interested sees that High Point
is the most desirable point for the
capital With the increased railroad
facilities which we. will soon have rum
ming from Randolph through here on
to Winston making High Point easily
accessible to all this territory we are
sure that no objections will be made
on account of county seat, and all
will work together for the new county.
The necessary surveying was done
some time ago and an excellent map
was drawn by the late DR.. B. Craven
which, we suppose, will be adopted
by the agitators of the new county.
Let us have the county
