BIBLE MEETING.
What Has Eeen Done During the Year
In the Spreading Of the Gospel.

The annual meeting of the Salem
Bible Society, the Auxiliary of the
American Bible Society for Forsyth
County, was held in the Chapel OF
the Moravian Church, Salem, Feb
% 1891.
Or. Edward Rondthaler, Presid-
ent, opened the meeting.
Prayer by Rev. e. P. Davis of the
Presbyterian Church.
The usual number of the members
of the society were present and very
interesting meeting was held. The
work of the society for the past year
has been mainly through its deposito-
fy,and from the report submitted we
!! find the following gratifying results.
Bibles and Testaments. on hand at
the beginning of the year, 100; re-
ceived during the year, $50; total
$50; sold and donated, 598; leaving
on hand, 1872.
In addition we find the Rev. A.
Lichtenthaeler spent Is days in a
canvass of the suburbs of Winston
Salem supplying the Word to the
destitute. disposing of some $50 vol
umes. The society was organized
in April 1889, and its records show
that its next annual meeting will be
the 5Oth.
The object it has in view is the
distribution of the Scriptures. 1t
has several times canvassed by its
colportors, Stokes and Forsyth Coun-
ties, and adjacent sections in the
Mountains of Virginia.
The records show that sine" its
commencement it has distributed
over II 900 volumes of theBible and
New Testament together. We de-
sire to direct the special attention of
the Ministers of the various Church
es, anb the Superintendent of the
Sunday Schools of the County to the
fact that the Society keeps on hand
at its repositories in Winston and
Salem, full supply of Bibles and
Testaments which are sold at exact
cost; no profit being allowed for hand
ling. This meeting passed a resolu-
ton requesting the Secretary to urge
upon the Pastors of the several Con-
grcgations throughout the County
the necessity of the work and to ask
that each take up a Collection during
the year for the benefit of the Society.

A Census Appropriation Short.

Despite the denials sent out re-
garding the obstruction of the work
in the census office on account of the
exhaustion of the appropriation, the
facts are exactly as stated in des-
patches published. A correspondent
writes us that all the departments
are crippled, and work from this out
will proceed at a small pace. Moth
ing is more certain, also, than that
there will be deficiency, which the
democratic congress will be called
upon to supply. AT the same time,
it will make an investigation as to
how Mr.. Porter has succeeded in run
ming through with his appropriation
so quickly.

A Voice from Virginia.

The Democrats in Virginia seem to
be in very good shape for the presi-
Dental campaign of next year.
They are determined not to be led
astray by personal preferences. Last
week the Richmond Dispatch sent
a member of it's staff to interview
prominent Democrats all over the
State, and their expressions of opin-
ion were notably conservative and
judicious.

The DrIsgs.SehrOsdsr Gun.

The first Of the briggs Schroeder rapid fr-
Ing gun. which tho Government has purchased,
was tested inside Of the Colt factory, at Hart
ford, Conn. The gun does not discharge as fast
as the Calling gun, but it will send projectile,
weighing from one 10 eight pounds, with q
rapidity never before equaled. The gun in
question will send cone shaped projectile, Of
hardened steel, weighing six pounds, a dis
lance Of six miles, with a velocity when fired
from the gun that il will perforate six-inch
steel plate at one mile without fattening or
otherwise damaging itself Although the new
gun weighs SIS pounds, so skillfully is il
mounted and balanced that the merest touch
of finger sets il revolving about its axis. In
this way the horizontal aim Is secured. High
or low range is only matter Of the gentest
touch on the breech in a vertical plane. All
this is so simple that gunner can fire the
piece in all four points of the compass just "a
quickly and perhaps more accurately than he
could fire q self-coeking revolver in the same
direction. A six pound projectile can be sent
WhirTing toward the north, and Immediately
another can be sent toward the south long be-
fore the first has reached its destination.
The mechanism Of the gun proper is as
simple as that of the mounting apparatus.
The firing is effected by means Of trigger no
larger than that Of an ordinary revolver.
There are two extTactors, each working indie
pendently of the other so that if one becomes
disabled the empty case will bs safely and
surely elected by the other. The mechanical
parts of the gun are completely covered by a
steel band. so that it is impossible for dirt to
get into the breech opening. The gun was in
vented by Lieut.. w. III. briggs, Of the U. s.
Navy, who. with Lieut.. SeatOn Schroeder, pat
ented his invention and resigned from the SER
vice in order to devote himself to its manu-
facture.

EUROPEAN OCCUPATION.
How the Annexation OF the Dark Continent b.s
Progressed.
4


The art of annexing n continent, which had
its first modern example in the occupation OF
America by the maritime nations Of Europe, has
developed remarkably within the present CEN
fury, If we may judge from the rapidity with
which the same nations are taking possession of
Africa The annexation of this continent has
progressed as far within 90 years as that of
America did within two centuries. Twenty
years ago, the cry Of "Afriea for the Africans"
would have had some warrant in fact. To-day,
Africa for the Europeans" would better in
dictate tho situation. since fully fve-sixths Of
the whole continent are covered by European
claims.
The districts thus annexed cover five-sixths
OF Africa, only about 100000 square miles re-
naming unsppropriated and this largely made
mp Of the Libyan Desert, which no one wants.
As for the French Sahara. it is much less
desert than is generally supposed. Water seems
10 be everywhere present st no great depth,
and an oasis is easily formed by the boring of
an artesian well. Hundreds of such fertile
spots have been made, and the French Engi-
neers are still busy in this profitable enterprise.
As regards the comparative dimensions of these
European claims 20 African territory. it may
be briefly stated that England holds about
100000 square miles, mostly good territory
France about 25OO.OO0, largely desert; Ger
many about 100000, much of il of little value;
the Congo State 100000, generally available;
PORTUGAL JUOOUO, much OF lt excelIenti and
Italy about One-third of million, embracing
probably much good land.
If it now be asked, what steps are being taken
by European nations towards the control Of
their African possessions, IL may be answered
that these claims as yet exist largely on paper
only,-the keep Off" warning Of the watch
dOg,-but that much is being dOno to render
them actual. Steamers are now navigating the
Zambesi and the Congo fortified trading posts
exist along these rivers, and n railroad is being
built FROM the mouth OF the Congo to its nayi-
gable upper reaches. A second railroad, 20 run
from Mombasa in British East Africa, TO the
Victoria NyanZa, was inaugurated Aug. % 1890.
IL will be supplemented by steamers on Lakes
Victoria NyanZa, TaBganyika and Nyassa, and
possibly by railroads between these lakes. A
third aud more ambitious project is entertained
by France, that OF building railroad from
Algeria TO Lake Tchad. across 1000 miles OF

which is to start from Constantine and Biskra
in Algeria. IL will, when built, doubtless be-
come the channel Of an extensive commerce,
from the old Gases and the new ones that are
being formed, and from the Lake Tehad region
Of the Soudan.
These are but preliminary steps towards the
consolidation Of the European possessions in
Africa. Others will follow as necessity demands
them, and the next quarter Of a century will
probably see the whole -of Africa covered by
European claims, the slave-trade extinguished,
and great portion OF the Dark Continent "
