For Register of Deeds.
Especial Cor. STATE CHRONICLE


RALEIGH, N. c., May 2sth, 1901
have read the article signed u. 7. B."
in your issue Of the Gath inst Let not
the voters of Wake county be deceived.
Tie writer thinks he knows something
of the sentiment of the people of St.
Mary's township and while l would
pluck no single laurel from the brow of
Mr. Smelling, l am sure that his friend
-. I. B." is much mistaken in his esti-
mate of the vote of that township.
Being often thrown among the people
of st. Mary's am enabled to get their
opinions, and l think W. H. Rand is de-
cidedly their favorite for register of
deeds, and will lead the race for that
office by large majority
1 can say without fear Of contradc-
tion, that there is no man more gener-
ally known or more highly respected in
the Southern portion of Wake county
than Bill iRand. He, too, is strictly a
moral, Christian gentleman, and has
proven himself worthy of all confidence
placed in him, and we know of no man
who has worked harder to better the
condition of his fellow-man than Mr..
! Rand.
He is one of the best informed men in
the county, and is one of the most flu.
ent and forcible speakers I know; and il
nominated for register of deeds will
make as fine a'canvass as was ever made
in the county, aud one that will be re
membered by the opponent with sorrow

HIS HOUSE STONED.
THE CATHOLICS stone REV. VI.
V. MCDUFFIE'S IIOU.E

Because he has Been Attacking Their
Church on its Claim to Fnfai!ibility.
Its Attitude TO the Bible, &c.
Hoodlums attacked tee Rev IL. Y.
McDuf1ie's residence on edmond street,
corner of Lee Avenue, New Brunswick,
N. j., Thursday night, and he was
obliged to ask police protection. The
attack was made a few minutes after
ten. Mr. McDuffie and his wife, who
had just been entertaining visitors,
were startled by terrific crash at the
side of the house, and soon learned that
a perfect fusillade of stones had been
hurled at it. A few momeurs later
another crash came, and the minister
rushed out to find that the Lee
avenue side Of the house was con-
siderably battered and that heap OF
bricks and stones which had caused the
damage lay scattered about at the side
OF the house. Those who had thrown
the stones had disappeared. The minis
ter immediately sent word to police
headquarters and secured protection
from further attacks. A large number
affair, and there seems go doubt that
they were Roman Catholics who were
lncensed at Mr.. McDufie's sermon On
their Church delivered Sunday. Ike
minister himself IS nov e,.tisEieI that
the attack came from this quarter Mr
McDuffie said that E.e would willingly
give a liberal reward to ascertain the
names OF the guilty persons. He said
that the attack would not have the ef-
feet Of making him close his sermons on
homan Catholicism. He had, he said,
determined TO preach series Of sermons
on the subject. and be had many things
which he intended to say and which he
thought necessary to say.
MIR. McDuffie is not to be intimi6ateo,
for last Sunday he continued his SER
| mons. He said he meant to fi2ht it cut
on this line, 10 matter what the cost
might be. He devoted Sunday TO at
tacking the Church on It's claim to ia
fallibllity, its attitude toward the Bible,
its church government, which he said
| WAS inimical to American institutions
| and enslaved its followers; its doctrine
Of the sacrameats andlits ''opposition 10
general popular education" He alsl
| attacked the doctrine of the union of
Church and State, and accused the Ro-
man Catholic church Of want of char
| lty toward Professionalism, Of supersti-
tion, of idolatry, of a disregard OF rea
son, and Of the use of force and violence
TO accomplish it's purposes.
The church was packed, and the ser
| mon created a sensation.

The Funeral Services at the General
Conference.
(From st. Louis Globe -Democrat.)

(From st. Louis Globe Democrat)
Centenary NJ. E. Church was crowded
yesterday afternoon at o'clock, when
the funeral service of the late Rev. j E,
Mann, OF North Carolina, was begun.
Ali the members of tue conference were
present, and "a large number of the mem
bers of the various Methodist Episcopal
congregations attended. The members
Of the North Carolina delegation con-
ducted the service. Rev. J. A. Cunning
gim read the first lesson, and the second
lesson was read by Rev. 81. 4. Hudson.
Rev. V. A. Sharpe read the frs hymn,
"Asleep in Jesus" and Bishop 0. p.
Fitzgerald delivered the prayer. Rev.
F. L. Reid led the second hymn, and
Rev. J r Brooks delivered the sermon,
selecting his text that familiar passage
in st. M~.!hew
''Wel ,Dne, thou good and faithful ser
want; thou hast been faithful over o few
things, and | will make thee ruler over
many things, enter thou into the JOY of
thy Lord"
He spoke exultantly of the reward Of
the faithful, and thought that Rev Mann,
for the purity of his life and for the
tlreltssness of his zeal, was sure of the
immortal blessing that God bastows
upon these who have led good and noble
lives on earth. Ee spoke of Rev Manu's
life work and then told of his rewards.
| W There was the plaudit, "Well done,
thou gof d aud faithful servant" (2) the
distinction aud nonor, Thou hast been
| faithful over I; few things and l will
make the9 ruler over many things" 81
participation into the Savior's JOY on
high, Eater thou into the JOY Of thy
Lord"
After the impressive ceremony was
over the remains were removed from the
church, to be prepared for shipment to
the home Of the family of the deceased
minister, III Newber1, n. G., this morn
lug.
The death of Rev. Mann was particu-
larry sad, ard throws a gloom over the
concluding days of the Conference. He
came here in the best of health, and en-,
tered into the work of the Conference
with a vim. He was suddenly taken i'll
and died not long after he had been re-
moved to st. Luke's Hospital, from the
| hiHuell uotei, WHERE ue was stopping
His family was not with him when he
died. His son, who was telegraphed for,
arrived too late to speak to his father
before he died. At the home Of the
late Rev. Mann a daughter is danger
ously i'll. Rev. Mann was beloved by
all the mem oers of the Conference and
those persons with whom he came in
contact. He was man Of great mental
and physical vigor and never tired of ex-
ercising either power in the work OF
doing good.

LOCTOR WEETAkE Err.
From the Spirit of the Age Of To-day.

(From the Spirit of the Age CT To-day}
When the editor of the Age saw the
announcement in the CHRONICLE, last
Tuesday mcrning, that tie degree Of
I'D. d. lad teen conferred apon him
by Rutherford: College, be involuntarily
calculated, "Surely, somebody must have
made al erroneous representation 10 the
beard Ctt truaieeSln our EeAalf. Or they
would not have made so grave q mis-
take"
The matter was intended, no doubt,
as a kindness to Us, by those WHO made
the application I'VE presume an appllcis-
ton was made in due form, or the de-
gree would not have been conferred);
yet, however thankful We may be to
friends for kind intentions, we really
feel that in this instance they so egregi-
ously erred in Judgment as to our fitness
for the degree conferred, as to cause the
college couferring it to injure itself in
the public estimation in so doing.
We frankly confess that we fell CRATE
ful for the kindness which prompted
some unknown friends to make this ap-
plcation in our behalf; but, We as frank
" state our honest conviction when we
say that We do not feel WORTHY OF THE
HONOR.
We asked DR.. G. 7. Bailey, of the Bib
lical Recorder, what We should do about
it, aud he said, "do nothing" But, it
is serious matter with US. We have
been thinking for some time that, with
the increasing weight of years, added to
the many duties we have to perform,
the burden Of life was getting to be
heavier than We could bear; aud We
were arranging, in our mind, to tighten
that burden, more or less.
But. now, here comes this additional
burden upon us-the consequence and
dignity of a Docto, Of Divinity to be
maintained. Heretofore, when the breth-
rem met US they call1d US "brother
Whitaker" Henceforth it is to be "Doc.
tor" cold and rmal. And, then, our
old-fashioAed hush-whacklng, guerili 4
style of preaching, which our friends
seemed to like, must be discarded, and
we must write out our sermons, and pu!
ourselt under the instruction Of an elocu
ZIONIST; buy us silk hat and a regula
ton coat, and walk IN measured step
with head bowed as if in profound
thought, ever keeping in mind the great
Importance Of LOOKING WISE.
We need tie sympathy of the public
And should wo not live to see cur three
score ami ten, cur bsreavcd and sorrow
ing survivors may charge our prema
ture demise to the fact that We wer
oyerburdened, and that the straw wbicl
hr- 10 tho canals hack WAS tho unNiS,
kindness Of these unknown friends @
ours who induced our good brother
DR.. Abernethy, and his kind board 0
trustees to confer honors upon us whicl
We had not the strength to carry.

THE HOTEL NATTER

This Town Needs a Big One--One that
drcds Of fPeople--And the Town Mnst
Have 1t.
There has been right much talk about
building big winter hotel here. The
time has come when this tai: orgha to
result in acton.
The CHRONICLE knows that the hotel
is needed The l.usiles5 nen all know
it and say so. Their opinion settles the
question as to the necessity for tie es-
tablishment.
From now on there will be some fuss
made about this thing.
The CHRONICLE proposes to make that
fuss. It intends 70 exercise I'll ihe in-
fluence it has Ir favor = iluoei building.
Its fuss and Influence may amount to
nought in the end, but row will be
kept up from this day On till that hotel
goes up, or until there is an official
declaration on the part of the town that
it CANNOT BUILD A HOTEL; and this last
alternative is something which the
CHRONICLE does not now anticipate.
There are thousands Of good reasons
| for hay ng such an establishment, but
| they are sc plain as to need no elabora-
ton.
However, lets call up an instance Or
tTo.
The great Battery Park hotel made
Ashevil!e. If a hotel will make one
place, it will help another. That big
hotel tracted young George Wander
bilt to Asheville. Had that famous
hostelry not been there, he would never
have gone there But he went. he
saw, and now he is building million
dollar palace near that place.
1t Is said that the great general con
fer, nee of the NJ. E. church might be
induced to hold its next session here
We're there sufficient hotel accom-
modations. At the lowest calculation
that body spends twenty five Thousand
dollars in every place at which it meets
The expenses of the hundreds Of dele
gates are paid by the conference. There
is DO assignment to homes" but dele
gates are sent to the hotels, and whe1
conference adjoucns, the treasurer o
The body walks up to tue hotel keeper
aud settles The bills.
Now, isn't it rather unpleasant t
contemplate that Raleigh, so attractiy
in every particular, cannot invite IA g1ea
body to meet here, because there are no
sufficient hotel Recommendations
You might as we'll begin to thin
about it, gentlemen; for if a constan
and determined presentation Of th
matter can make you think about ii
you've just got it to do.

Tribute OF Affection.

William G. Hill Lodge, No. 218 T. 4.
H., has heard Of the death of Gel. Viii
liam E Anderson, Grand Treasurer of
the Grand Lodge Of North Caroliua
with unfeigned reg1et, and would place
q wreath of immortelles on his tomb.
Entering the portal of Freemasonry
at an early age, his zeal for the institu-
tion never abated, his intor; sneyas.
s hsssg eyed and his e arity 2sgs7 CT grew cold.
Actuated by hlgn sense Of honor, and
a lofty sense Of Christian duty, he was
ever true to his convictions Of right. un-
failing in his friendship and true to his
obligations.
He was not Mason in name only.
His ear was ever open to the cry of dis
treSs, and his purse ever open for its re-
lief. Quiet in his walk, unobtrusive in
his manners, his generous heart never
failed to respond to the appeal of the
widow Or tie orpban-nay, he antici-
pated their wants and was ready with an
earnest word to stir up the hearts of bis
brethren to needed action.
His life IS an example worthy OF all
emulation. Let us mediate on the vir-
tues Of his character, and the benevolent
spirit he ever manifested. Let US see in
the holy precepts Of raligion and in the
teachings OF CT. Institution those lofty
principles which adorned his life, and
Influenced him to adore his Maker ard
to love his fellow man, and which taught
him how to live and how to die.
And sirce his task is done, his labor
ended, we humbly bow to the Masters
decree, and pray that He will give Us
grace to cherish in our hearts the recol-
lection Of his many virtues, and that his
example may have a salutary influence
| in our lives.
Friend Of our hearts, rest in peace.
| Raised by the Grand Masters word, we
leave thee in His holy keeping, confident
that thou art sharing the blessing OF i'm
mortal life and unfading glory.

COLLEGE FUN.
A Lively Trick by the A. & NJ. College
Boys.

A Lively Trick by the A. & NJ. College
Boys.
Some of those A. & NJ. College boys
had another big spasm Of fun last night,
by which they threw the other boys and
also part of the faculty into spasms of
nervousness and uneasiness.
The concoctors of the scheme claimed
they had seen a suspicious looking char
acrer around the building, and asked
permission Of the president to catch the
fellow if they could.
Last night was set for the "catching
night" One Of the boys concealed him
self in the pump house. Others took
stations at various points, SO that they
might see that suspicious character if
he came around.
They waited for some time, then one
of the watchers recOr noitered the pump
house, and finally opened the door,
when with q rush and a yell, the boy
who was in there rushed out, knocking
down the watcher, and tore off across
the field at full speed. He ran only q
short distance, however, and concealed
himself behind the step fence on the
baseball ground. The other watchers
set up fearful alarm, yelling
out that one boy had beer
killed, and that the murderer wa;
running away, This uproar brought
| the whole college out en-masse in al
sorts of costumes, dodglng and STOPPING
| and sliding about the premises with theil
teeth chattering and bad state of gen
eral nervousness.
One of the boys who was into the tricl
rushed by the college at this junctur
and everybody thought he was the fel
low they were looking for. Some pu
out after him, and gave him one of th
hottest and hveliest races he ever had
He just felt like he was bound to kee
out Of the way, for he suddenly took u
a notion that if those boys caught hir
they would tear him up pretty badly be
fore he could tell who he was-and b
kept out of the way too.
| After while the suspicious characte
showed up; there were many bad case
of the "grins' and the institution agai
fell into peace and quietude.

PAMLlco, n. c., May 22.-Court has
met and adjourned, Judge Whitaker

gave general satisfaction.
Judge Lynch held his court near the
county line, a few nights ago, at
midnight. The jury consisted OF five
stalwart men, bent On vengeance, and
concealed nnder masks a la White Caps.
The victim Of this noble band was poor
white man, who, in the days of blood,
marched under the Southern Gross.
The charge against him was-carrying
in his buggy negro women Of bad CHAR

At midnight, in a secluded place, they
spring upon and choke him; fill his
mouth with dirt take the trace from
his harness and beat him over the head
and body until his body is black with
stripes. No Investigation is made; no
presentment follows, and many say they
served him right
On Monday, the first day of court, at
Bay boro, the poor victim Of midnight
violence is hauled before justice Of the
peace on warrants sworn out by five
men; and this man with flesh blackened
and swollen by ungodly stripes, meets
his accusers, and then and there the
charges and counter charges are quashed
and peace prevails ''in Warsaw"
