He Declares the Mecklenburg Cele-
bration Founded on q Myth.
CHARLOTTE, N. O., April 27.-Sam Jones
preached three sermons to-day to audiences
of 6,OOO at each meeting in a tabernacle.
In the afternoon, at a sermon to men, 1000
were present. The evangelist created a
sensation and aroused much Indignation
among old citizens by denouncing the cele-
bration of the Mecklenburg declaration of
independence on May 20, as founded on q
myth and nothing, but drunken frolic.
May 20 is legal holiday in North Carolina
A RETRACTIoN.
AT sermon tonight Mr.. Jones said that
his charge that the Mecklenburg declaration
is myth, he had since learned, was an
egregrious error. He apologized humbly
for slandering a noble people, and said that
those Philadelphia people had imposed on
him in the matter. and wien he got back to
Philadelphia again, he would stamp the
feathers out of them for imposing on him
about the Mecklenburg declaration Of inde-
pendence

FREE CARRIAGE RULED OUT
The Interstate Commission Says I
Constitutes q Rebate.


Constitutes Rebate.
WASHINGTON, April 27.-The interstate
commerce commission has decided the case
of Stone & Carter against the Detroit,
Grand Haven and Milwaukee Railway Com
pany in favor Of the complainants. The
main opinion was written by Chairman
Cooley, Commissioners Morrison and
Schoonmaker concurring and expressing
additional views. A dissenting opinion was
filed by Commissioner Bragg. This case
involves the question OF the lawfulness
of free carriage of freights by railroad
companies to and from one station
on their lines and shippers places of busi-
ness when such free carriage is not given to
shippers at another station on the same line
taking the same grouped rate. The COM
mission rules that the practice is in effect
the giving of a rebate from the regular
published tariff rate, and in this case also
violates the long and short haul clause Of
the law by making a charge for shorter
distance to Ionia, Mich, greater than to
Grand Rapids, Mich. a longer distance.
The railroad company is ordered to cease
and desist from making such fres carriage
at Grand Rapids.

DOODLE FOR THE q. o. P.
The Republican Executive Commit
tees Raid on the Purses.

WASHINGTON. April 27.-One of the prin-
cipal subjects to be considered by the
executive committee of the republi-
can national committee when it
meets here next week, is the ever
important one of raising funds, with
special reference to the campaign of next
fall. Senator Quay, First Assistant POST
master General Clarkson and Col William
Dudley, being now the general managers
of the Republican party. cake charge of all
national campaigns, and so will direct the
fight for senator's and congressman next
fall just as closely as they will direct the
presidential campaign of 1892 Just now
the general campaign chest from which
they propose TO draw their funds is far
from being full.
QuAY's CHRoMo SCHEME.
Chairman Quay's ingenious scheme for
making every republican a stockholder in
the party by issuing to him a handsome
chrome certificate OF a contribution of $40
or more, has been established, and Senator
Quay's late private secretary, Frank WILL
ing Leach. in his capacity as deputy secre-
tary of the republican national committee.
is sending out invitations to the men on the
lists OF the various committees, which have
been procured for that purpose, to take
stock in the grand old party, but in the
present uncertainty of party feeling this
has been done very cautiously. Even Sec
retary Leach's diplomatic style is liable to
appear at a disadvantage in letters of this
character, and it is difficult to make sure
that they shall fall only into "safe" hands.
TRYING TO DODGE THE LAW.
The combined intellect of the big three
are to be applied to the problem of formu-
lating plan for safely avoiding the law
against political assessments Senator
Qnay, Col. Dudley, and George Clarkson
will carry the suit against the Old Domin-
ion League, of which they are the real de-
PENDANTS ard defenders, to the United States
supreme court in the attempt to establish
the proposition that it is not a violation of
the law to send political assessment letters
through the mail to government employees,
but pending their appeal they think they
must have the voluntary contributions" of
the poor clerks, and are casting about for
some way Of breaking the law without get
ting caught.

a POOR POSTMASTER.

The Officials of the House to be SUB
jected to Investigation.
WASHINGTON, April 2-The mail SER
vice of the House of Representatives since
the republicans came in has been very bad,
and constant complaints have been made.
Formal charges have now been preferred
against the postmaster of the House, a
Wisconsin man named Wheat. The charges
are brought by one Of his subordinates
named McCord, the son Of a Wisconsin
member of congress. 1t is alleged that
much mail matter that should have been
delivered or returned to the senators
has been sold for waste paper,
and crookedness of various kinds
is described. Wheat is one-armed
soldier who is supposed to have lost his am
in the war, but who really lost it in the
firing of salute after the war. The men,
bers of the House, who have had great
trouble in getting their mail, will not be
unwilling to see Wheat investigated.

TOWNSVILLE, Ga, April 27.-For some
time the county convict question has been
causing dissatisfaction. Townsville has
been working the convicts on terms that
stirred up the wrath of certain villages In
the county. The recent grand jury recon-
mended that Thomasville still retain them,
provided they shall be no expense to the
county, but IL Thomasville does not want
them on those terms that they are to be let
to the highest bidder In or out of the county.
This accommodation, it is believed, will
give general satisfaction.

interesting editorial articles, giving an ex-

Thomas county, its cities, towns and ham,

THE WEEK IN CONGRESS.
What the Two Houses Are Apt to Dc
in Six DAYS.

WASHINGTON, April 27.-The Senate to-
morrow will resume consideration of the
land grant forfeiture bill with the expecta-
ton OF coming to vote upon it before ad-
Journment. It is the intention of its friends
to have it disposed of by Tuesday night in
any event.
After that will come up the customs
administrative bill, and this Will
probably I'LL out the remainder of
the week. There is considerable oppo-
sltion on the democratic side to the
measure as reported by the committee
on finance, and it is announced that Senator
Eyarts has an amendment to propose, so
that the chances seem good for debate of
three or four days.
THE SILVER BILL
The silver bill is the next measure
Of general interest on the order
OF business, and will be taken up
this week if any time remains.
Although the republicans of the Senate
have not yet agreed upon all the details of
the silver bill, it is believed that a measure
which they will all support will be prepared
for the consideration of the Senate by the
time that body is ready to entertain it. If
for any reason the silver bill should not be
ready when the customs administrative bill
has been disposed of the bills for the I'D
mission of Idaho and Wyoming will take its
place.
Saturday, according to the regular order,
business is devoted to the consideration of
bills on the calendar to which no objection
is made; but this order may very possibly
be set aside,

superb pilot boat Addie of Wilmington, N.

Savannah to enter the pilot boat regatta.

the Neca, the most symmetrical craft on the
South Atlantic coast. She will sail for Tybee,
weather permitting, tomorrow morning,
and will be accompanied by the Frances
Elizabeth, the holder Of the pennaut. It is
doubtful if any other Charleston boat will
enter the race, although several may go

In the House.

The failure of the House to pass the legis-
lative appropriation bill Saturday leaves it
to come up tomorrow as the unfinished
business. The previous question has been
ordered, so that the vote on the passage of
the measure will probably be reached
shortly after the session of the day begins.
After it is out Of the way district matters
will occupy the attention of the House, the
Rock creek bill coming up as the unfinished
business.
The present intention is to press the silver
bill, and 1t will probably be called up on a
resolution to be reported by the committee
on rules, allowing two days for it's discus
sion.
THE CAUCUS PLAN.
Carrying out the caucus plan, the pension
committee is to be given day for the con-
sideration of the service pension bill, and
the committee on public buildings is to have
the same privilege, in order to dispose Of
the bills 1t has reported.
The diplomatic appropriation bill will
probably be passed with little discussion, as
it involves no changes in the law.
No time has yet been allotted to the river
and harbor appropriation bill, but as there
are large number of members who desire
to see that measure passed before the tariff
bill comes up, they may be able to succeed
In having it considered during the week.
