The New York Reformed Presbtte.
rians Go for the President.
The report Of the Temperance Com
mittee of the New York Synod of the
Reformed Presbyterian Church, went
for President Harrison and Vice-Presi-
dent Morton.
After expressing the opinion ''that
many thinking people have been awak-
ened to the folly Of expecting any real
help from high license" the report thus
complimented the Postmaster General
and his wife,"
We note with special satisfaction the
example set by Mr.. and Mrs. Wanamak-
or, in giving their splendid entertain
ments without wine. This is a noble ex-
ample. It is worth much to the cause
Of temperance.
After expressing qualification that pro-
hibition sentiments had actually been ap-
plauded in the halls of Congress, the
report worked down to Harrison and
Morton in this fashion:
We must not overlook the fact that
the liquor interest is strongly intrench-
ed. Il is a great money power. 1t is
strongly protected by law. 1t makes
political influence. 1t controls large
mass of voters and even dictates the
terms on which it will alluw the exercise
of civil control.
On state occasions liquors weight the
table presided over by our Christian
President and his lady.
The Vice. President goes in this respect
to great excess, and besides this derives
a profit from the sale of liquors in the
property which he owns and controls.
With these and many othea illustra.
tions of the danger to be apprehended
from the liquor, traffic before US, it Is
evident that the views of the Church
ought to be sounded out on the side Oi
sobriety for the person and prohibition
for the State.

Death Sentence COMMITTED.

The Governor yesterday commuted the
death sentence of Jordan Pritchett to
imprisonment for life at hard labor in
the penitentiary. .Pritchett was to have
been hanged in few days at Oxford.
The most urgent appeals for the COM
mutation had been made by the people
of Granville.
The Governor made the following en-
dorsement upon the papers: "Upon con-
sideration of this case, there is so much
doubt as to Pritchetts being the nan
who fred the shot, that his punishment
is commuted to imprisonment at hard
labor in the penitentiary for life.''

Allen excels IN solos. Miss Bum sings
better with another. 1.-THE True Aim,"
by Miss Harrington, was distinctly and
gracefully read. The Piano Duo, by
Misses Brewer and Dean, was faithfully
and brilliantly executed. Miss Aber-
nathy read "Old Times are Changed,
Old Manners are Gone" an essay which
was deservedly popular, especially with
her older listeners, as she reviewed
Southern life for some fifty years back.
The essays on the whole were deserv-
ing of much credit. The topics were
new, and the young ladies deported
to the credit of their institutions. Presi-
dent Brewer then read reports of the
young ladies standing, and presented
many department diplomas. Rev. Mr..
Edwards. of the Nj. E. Church, MUIR
freesboro, in q very appropriate and hap
py little speech presented the diplomas
to the class. While the double quartette
was played all rested themselves by
standing or moving about as they pleas
ed. We would be more than pleased to
give review of the beautiful, the elo-
quent address by Rev. DR.. Carter, of
Raleigh, but neither time and space, nor
ability can grant this privilege. His
subject, 1.-THE Educated Woman" was
indeed suited to his audience, and al
though warm and weary, were sorry
when he ceased speaking.
After much hand-shaking and greet
ing among old students and friends, We
were refreshed by q sumptuous dinner
given by President and Mrs. Brewer.
The most brilliant portion of the exer-
cises was like the best wine, served last.
At p. m. Wednesday the literary socie-
ties, in their respective colors, headed
by beautiful banners, marched into the
chapel and seated themselves upon the
rostrum. The salutatory, by Miss Tim
berlake, was most happy welcome; the
music simply charming; the recitations
very creditable; the valedictory, as
usual, sad and sweet. The most popu-
lar of the exercises were the piano solo
by Miss j. Brewer, and the vocal solo
by Miss Allen.
ALI were allowed a pleasant, social
time for nearly two hours.
The past session has been one of the
most successful, the present commence
ment, one of the grandest.
A word of appreciation and encourage
ment is due to President and Mrs.
Brewer for the excellent management,
the discipline, the courtesy, the training
and the good health, all of which were
so apparent in their students. Truly
this institute has the right managers in
the right place, and it deserves the
hearty support and cooperation of all
the Baptists of our State.

A LITTLE 30 { DROWNED.
He was Missed and His Body Found
ON the Cape Fear.

He was Missed and His Body Found
ON the Cape Fear.
Wilmington Messenger
Another distressing drowning accident
has occurred in the Uape Fear river, this
time the victim being Eddie, the interest
ing seven year old son Of Nathan Hark-
er, mate of the steam tug Marie. The
little fellow was drowned yesterday
afternoon at 4 o'clock in the Champion
Compress docks.
Eddie and his elder brother, aged
about nine years, are accustomed to go
ing down to the boat to 90 home with
their father, and especially is this the
case on Saturday evenings Yesterday
afternoon they went down to the Cham
pion Compress, where the tug lies up,
and took ride around the harbor with
their father. When the tug returned to
her wharf, Mr.. HarkSr and Captain Ed
gar Williams went away for short dis
tance, and were gone only few min
utes on business, lexving the boys at the
tug. The fireman was aboard, but he
was in the hold of the vessel, and did
not witness the accident, nor did the lit
tie boys brother see it. The first init
nation they had that Eddie was drowned
was when they missed him and found
his hat floating in the dock.
It could hardly be realized that the
little fellow was drowned, as notwith
standing the fact that there were quite
number. of people around the wharf
during the evening, no one saw or heard
him fall overheard. It is supposed,
. however, that after getting off the tug,
Eddie's hat must have blown off and he
fell overheard while attempting to catch
it before it fell off the pier into the
water. As soon as he was missed, Capt.
Williams sent for Mr.. Harry Bowdoin,
who came. with his diving apparatus,
and after going down on both sides of
the pier, he recovered the body about
7 o'clock,

A squad of revenue officers passed
through town Friday morning, and We
remarked that there was trouble in store
for somebody. They were we'll mounted,

of $7O2, 600 A similar clause in the de-
of $685. He arraigned in the course
of his remarks, the republican party in
the House on the charge of Hypocrisy, in
that in the last House it had urged the

now nine of it's leaders arose and asked
the passage of any of these measures.

Mr. McCommas, of Maryland, eulogised
the Republican party for having carried
out its promise to the people, while the
Democratic party contented itself with
| deoiamations. He predicted the passage
of law which would ensure free bal.
| lot and fair count in the Southern
States.

affected back pay, was agreed toll tt
