SHORT STOPS.
What the People are Saying.


Who draws the salary of the
SISTERS who teach In our public
schools;if we are rightly informed this
money goes directly into the Golfers of
! the church. Give one church pull on
our public school funds and others
will be making this demands until
our boosted non-sectsria1 system of
education will be but the base fabric
| of q dream.
Political cowardice causes most
men in official position to shirk from
giving vent to their honest opinions.
To curry favor with this or that
church or denomination, men in office
or those wanting Office, will do any
amount of todyIng and bypocricy.
But the people will shake them up
some of these days.
There is abundant excuse for other
church organizations TO feel sighted
when such items appear in the list of
city expenditures last week as the
following: Warrant No. 72S, Aug. s,
Io9l.-S94 San Fernando church,
burial of paupers.,
These sums are paid out without
appropriation, leaving the public to
conclude that the church is running
our city government.
The decent burial of paupers at
public expense is often necessary and
unavoidable, but if religious services
cannot be had except for money they
might be dispensed with. Let all the
paupers be treated alike. Heavens
gates are wide open for every Lazerus
no matter in what Potter's field his
dust may rest.
Besides this establish the rule that
every church or organization can pre-
sent its bills for burial of its members
and what control has the city over
the proper expenditure of the money;
what evidence is there that { in a
proper case OF public emergency, or
public charity,
We have numerous benevolent
associations in our city that tax them
selves to bury their INDECENT dead,
why should not the churches do like
wise.
1t is only the poor human dust that
may be swept Oy misfortune into the
windows OF our streets, or public
charitable institutions that authorizes
the expenditure of the taxes of the
people.

There will be a meeting of of the Lin
coin Club at the rooms of the Republi-
can Executive Committee on Friday
evening, July 10th, ct 8 O'Clock. Hon.
Erastus Lewis, State organizer of Repub-
lican clubs, will be present and will ad-
dress the meeting. A thorough re.or.
ganization of the club is desired so that it
may be prepared to enter the campaign
with it's old time vigor. The value of
club work cannot be under estimated.

ton of Republicans into such clubs all
over the country endangsrs the success
Of Democracy more than anything else.
The Lincoln Club has demonstrated its
ability to do good and efficient work in
the past. Let US prepare at once for
vigorous effort in the approaching cam.
paign.

ing speakers in the stats. All Republi.

The Lyrchburg Races.

Our Lynchburg correspondent sends
an account of the races too voluminous
and vast for insertion in this issue.
There was great enthusiasm, good at
tendance and lively racing, and on the
whole it was red.letter day for our lit.
tie neighbor, but it will be impossible to
give our readers a detailed account of
the different heats and the lists of en-.
tries. During the pony race two of the
ponies fell and and threw their riders
violently to the ground. Both boys were
hurt, and one of them, Thomas Warden,
of Burtonville, quite seriously.
At night there was brilliant display
of fireworks and illuminations, and it
was generally agreed that the Fourth
had not "gone off" SO gloriously for
many years.

SPOILED HIS FOURTH.
A Little Celebration That Was Planned
In the Ohio Annex and How
II Came to Fail.

Persons Of a nervous temperament are
now on the momentary lookout for the
re.appearance of Ed. Blair in this
vicinity, and those who felt free to die
cuss his character as long as he was
safely confined in the Annex have
moderated the tone of their criticisms
since the news reached here that the ir.
repressible Edward had celebrated the
Fourth by nearly successful attempt
to escape from the Penitentiary. Blair
has demonstrated his cleverness as a
lock.picker and a jail.breaker and has
inspired his old neighbors with such
wholesome respect for his accomplish
ments in that line that many OF them
will only feel sure that he has been
effectually disposed when they see the
official proof of his execution.
Blair is now confined in the Annex OF
the Penitentiary awaiting the execution
of his death sentence which was sus
pended by Governor Campbell till Au-
gust elst, With him are Ed. McCar.,,,
the ugly Cincinnati murderer, and Craig,
a colored nan. On Saturday guard by
the name Of Gardner. suspected by the
actions Of Blair and Mccarthy that there
was mischief brewing, and thorough
search was made OF all the cells in the
Annex to which the three had access
A man was sent in ostensibly for the
purpose of whitewashing and under a
lot Of rubbish in the cell last occupied
by Murderer Popp circular opening Is
inches in diameter was found in the
stone floor. This led into an air passage
which runs through the entire building
and comes out on the roof. 1t was
through this identical passage-way tn at
the rebel general, John Morgan, escaped
nearly thirty years ago. The hole would
have admitted the bodies of any of the
prisoners, after which it would have
been simple matter to remove the bars
across the opening onto the roof.
| Concealed in one of the cells was
found a saw made from plated case
knife. All three prisoners strenuously
denied having knowledge of the open.
ing or OF the saw. The whole affair
bears evidences of Blair's handiwork.
The death doomed prisoners will be
closely watched hereafter, but many
think that Blair has not yet exhausted
all his resources, and will require all the
watching they can give him. He has
shown great daring and has been re.
markably successful so that another at.
tempt at escape may be looked for, if he
is not pardoned by the Governor before
August 2lst.

Solomon Hudson, ST., one of Hills.
boro's most venerable colored citizens,
died on Monday. His age is supposed
to have been about 96, as indicated by
his manumission papers. He was one
OF the slaves of Samuel Gest, Virginia
planter who many years before the war
liberated all his slaves and bought for
them two large tracts of land at what
were afterwards known as the "Camps"
and the Gest Settlement. Uncle Sol
was an adherent of the Baptist faith.
He fully embodied the characteristic
traits of his race and was well known
and interesting character to every body
in the community. His wife survives at
the age Of almost ninety years. They
were the parents oftwenty.fve children,
many of whom are still living.

high compliment to Hillsboro's singers,
the truth of which will be appreciated

The choir of the Presbyterian Church

excellent pieces of music. Much of the
well sustained interest in the Convention

formed the operation for cataract for
Mr.. John Davis, Of Rainsboro, on Satur.
day morning. The operation is an OK.
ceedingly delicate one but surgical skill
has reached such perfection in this line
that it is now performed without great
pain or Inconvenience to the patient.
1t consists in removing the crystalline
lens, which by losing its transparency
has interiered with the vision. Mr..
Davis, although well advanced in age,
passed through the operation quite well
and very favorable results are looked for.

The folly Of pointing weapon ldaded
or uploaded alta person was fully illusf
trated and deservedly punished by
young Squire Faris at Pricetown on the
Fourth. Walter Fox for assaulting Jos.
Balton and aiming an old rusty pistol
was fined with costs to the amount of
$3.50, although he claimed that the
weapon lacked cylinder and that he
only aimed it for fun and not with
murderous intent. People will learn
after while that it is not safe to point
even the picture of gun at another
person as it is as liable as in this case to
be loaded.
