Mrs. C. E. Cross, whose husband
is the ex-presideut- of the smashed
National Bank of this city, will use
all possible means to secure execu
tive clemency for him. Cross is now
serving a seven years term in the
work house here, as a county con-
Wet. He has been docile and has
taken his sentence like man. Mrs.
Cross, a devoted wife, has been liv
ing since her husbands sentence in
Gates county with her father, a lead
ing citizen there. She has secured
many signatures to her petition and
will bring powerful influences to
bear. Mrs S. C. White, whose hus-
band is the ex-cashier of the bank,
is now living in Columbia. The
newspapers have in some way made
an error regarding her, mistaking
Mrs. Cross for her, in some publica.
tions made to day. The statement
above made is correct. White is
serving a five years term and he
has also proved himself good pris-
oner. Both he and Cross have
worked on the public roads in this
township for over year. Cross's
health is said to be rather poor and
for a month he has not been able to
work much.-Raleigh Cor. Messengr.

Her Income and His.

The San Francisco specialin regard
to the marriage of Miss Maggie
Mcdowell, of Charlotte, to Baron
Won Maltzahn, of Berlin, Germany,
in connection with his alleg d letter
in reply to the California joker's ad-
vertisement of rich American brides
for European noblemen has been the
all-absorbing theme of conversation
in social circles in Charlotte.
1t is said the baron declared that
the cause of his re 81 gnatiOn from the
German army was his brides refusal
to live abroad. A circumstance by
some thought significant in this con-
nection was told the correspondent
this evening by n person quite inti-
mate with the Mcdowell family.
This informant stated that soon after
Miss McDowell's return from Europe
the baron, lin one of his letters to her,
questioned her very closely about
her income, and said that it would be
impossible for them to marry if she
was not wealthy. The story runs
that j. b. Mcdowell, a brother of the
baroness, answered the letter, saying
that his sisters income was 81, OOOa
year, and that it would be necessary
for the baron to write at his earliest
convenience and declare what his in
come was. 1t is said the baron re-
piled as follows:
"You ask what my income is. That
| has never troubled me, and l have
never. thought to ask my mother in
what kind of financial condition she
would leave me in at her DEATH"

Winstonians claim to have a big
joke on q Henderson Vance Co. ]
gentleman. The gentleman in cues
ton is Major H-who was q prom
inent lay delegate from the Hender-
son church to the Methodist Protest
ant Annual Conference at Winston.
Aswa natural he made the rounds
OF the tobacco warehouses and factc-
ries, and finally entered and surveyed
the large factory of Mr.. Hanes.
After taking II good look he express
ed himself substantially thus: '.Some-
time ago a big factory was built in
Henderson, and when it was compile
ted banquet was given in honor OF
the event, at which toasts were
drank and many speeches were made.
We thought we had as big u factory
as there was in theworld. Wedidn t
see how it would be possible to build
a bigger one. But we were a little
bit mistaken. l see it now. We
could put two buildings as large as
ours in this one of Hanes's and have
room enough left in which to work u
hundred hands without crowding.' %
1t IS only necessary to say, to pro-
tect the Major IRON any violence on
his return to Henderson, that the
Treasurer of Vance county was pres
ent and concurred with the major in
what he had said.-Grcensbor

A number of Charlotte people will
remember the three young men mis-
sionaries who, leaving their homes iii
Kansas, started out on Il missionary
tour taking neither ''scrips. bread,
nor money in their purses but liv-
ing by faith from day to day, that
their wants would be supplied.
After travels through portions OF
this country including a visit to the
Charlotte Y. Nj. c. A., they lett for
Africa as missionaries.
Numerous stories were told of their
deaths, at various times, but the re-
ports were untrue. except as to one.
who fell victim to the African fever.
The other two ministered on, and
continued to work among the hea-
then.
The sad news comes now of the
death of one of the two remaining
ones, Chas. L. Helmick. He was II
bright young, and very proposing.
His talk in the Y. NJ. c. A. hall last
winter is we'll remembered, as he in
gratiated himself into the good wish
es and interest of all his hearers.

There is considerable comment in

that the Duke,of Marlborough has,

1t is said by those present at the
immigration Convention in Ashe-
vile, N. C. that Mr. G.. w. Sparger,
the solid young lawyer from our
good neighboring town, Mt. Airy,
who was the only delegate from the
good old county of Surry, and the
Granite City Land Company. was
one of the best and busiest delegates
in attendance. He advertised his
county and town more, and himself
less than most any delegate there.
He is the kind of man to send as q

THE DAWN.

The morning comes, the stars decline
And fade into a boundless sea
OF richer light, the harvest time
OF loves immortal destiny.
The morning comes, with stately .tep,
And on his f.rehc adj, .road and fair,
A myriad diamonds, richly set.
New mcxarch OF the radiant air.
The morning comes, all nature waits
The kin lings of his burning CLAW.
Shall open wide the crimson gates
Of liberty's last onward flow.
The moving comes we need n It mind
The anguish of its heart below;
The broken wrecks are left behind,
But breathe its roseate overflow.
The morning comes, the nations stand
With bated breath from, pole to pole,
An wait the motions of his hand,
The breathipgs OF his stainless soul.

THE DIVORCE QUESTION,
Action Taken by the Conference of the
Methodist Church south.

Action Taken by the Conference of the
Methodist Church South.
ST. LOUIS, May 24.-Another death was
announced in the General Conference of the
NJ. E. Church South, this morning. Rev.
DR. j. E. Mann, of New Bern, N. c., was
taken sick Thursday and was sent to St.
Luke's Hospital, where he died last
night. Rev. Samuel Rodgers, of Balti-
more, presented resolution on
divorce. The whereas contained
the information that in the past
twenty years 32s,716 divorces had been
granted in the country. In that period the
population OF the country had increased 66
per cent, while divorces had increased 10Y
per cent There are 46 sets of laws in the
States and Territories, no two being alike.
80 causes for divorce are recognized in these
laws.
The resolution was that the Methodist
Episcopal Church South recognizes but
the spiritual cause 'of divorce" and it will
rejoice in the day when the laws of all
States accord with the law of the Church in
the matter.
