THE LADDER.

Every person must climb
LIES ladder. No matter who
or what they are or where they
come from, the ladder is placed
before them to climb. Some
run up its rounds actively and
with apparent ease; others are
slow but sure; Others fall when
half way up; others reach all
but the last round than fall.
Some of our people deserve
the success they have attained;
they are entitled to resting
place on the top round of life's
ladder; their pluck, tact and
business energy has placed
them there, a position they are
justly entitled to hold.
There are probably few busi-
ness men in this part of the
state in the same line of trade,
who by dint of honesty and
years of steady earnest toll,
have reached as lofty aposition
on the ladder of fame as Messrs.
Saur & Balsley, proprietors of
the far famed Drug, Book and
Wall Paper House under their
control. Their business career
in Napoleon dates back over a
quarter of century, during
which period they have con-
stantly studied the wants of the
people in this locality and their
efforts have been duly appre-
'ciated.
The firm has had an unpre-
cedented holiday trade, but
many articles, both useful and
ornamental isstill on exhibition
which they are offering at ex-
tremely low figures, in order
to make room for their usual
spring stock. It will repay
any one to take advantage Of
the goods and prices now rang
ing at this house.
In the way Of wall and cell
ing papers, paints, oils, var
nishes, brushes, etc, a large
and varied stockis always shown
and the record of this house or
these goods is not allowed tc
lag. The stock is complete
throughout, and the brands anc
quality of the goods tested, anc
all sold as cheap if not cheaper
than can be had in the grea

As people, we are all drifting rap
idly towards a chasm, by the route,
SCANDAL; which, at times, destroys
others, with our own destruction inevi-
bic, though at a more distant period.
Accepting the investigation of the
school board as just or unjust, ,-wheth-
er Butler ct al. were guilty or not
Moll certainly exhibited deplorable'
state of short sightedness as we'll as
viciousness, when he made the charges
he did without power of substantiation
being first secured. If the sup't. and
young ladies are guilty, their pun
ishment should be delayed until guilt
is proven. By punishment" mean
the birth of scandal; for, what means
have better claim to the word than the
contempt and loathing accompanying
poisonous darts of this form protrud-
ing from the universal mouth!
AS the matter stands, without con-
sidering the subsequent murder. the
teachers have suffered and are suffer-
ing punishment equal to that had
they been convicted before bar ofjus-
tice; for, to accuse even a preacher OF
crime, although the accuser be the
scum of the earth, robs him of por-
ton of a reputation, years in construc-
ting,-even though he be proven un.
equivocally innocent. He is not as
whole in the eyes of his fellows as be.
fore. The mere fact that grounds fol
suspicion existed is powerful weapon
that deals sledge hammer blows on the
reputation, however immaculate the
character may be. None will contro-
vert tn is.
Far better had Null have attended
to his official duties aud permitted Ret
ributive Justice, though diIitory at
times, take its course.

ThenIagain, from the other stand
point:..Two wrongs can never make one
right. The fact that MoIl and his
brother self-appointed detectives erred,
does not vindicate the teachers and
sup't. for their alleged crime; neither
will the mere assertion of citizen not
under oath conclusively establish an
alibi-neither will the mere say-so of
this or any other man establish inno-
cence in the eyes ofa thinking COM
munity.
Mr.. Moll was at one time citizen of
Napoleon and was recognized as an ex-
emplary man, and without doubt was
so at the time of his precipitous exit,

barring an inquisitive disposition.
Howbeit, even. his enemies will admit,
in moments of sober reflection, that he
was not man to risk his; all in sub
mitting his charges without, in his es-
timation, rocky foundation on which
to base his accusations. That school
teachers unhappily possess an inordi-
nate procivity for hugging and kissing,
is a we'll known fact. That long prac-
tice cf their profession gives to them q
monarchial dsposition-a will not ac-
customed to be thwarted, is also incon-.
trovertible. That what Moll claimed
to have seen is true, is not one of the
impossibilities.

Considering the peculiar dispositions
ofthese high strung teachersand sup't.,
to be criticized and accused by one in
the lowly position ofjanitor, presuma-
bly, Jared harshly on their construction
of the relative positions of the two vo-
cations. 1t no doubt was looked upon
by them and their friends as an impo-
sition-a fOrwardness to be at once
trampled upon and the ones guilty of
such boldness, severely punished.
Therefore, not content with a vindi-
cation faith and a shallow vindicatiOn
it was)they-the frien ds-mask and re-
pair to MoIl's house. Was it for MUIR
der? Who will say that, frenzied by
the damaging accusations, they did
not premeditate murder when they de-
manded Moll's whereabouts, of his
daughter? Who will say that they
did not fiud his place of hiding and lie
in wait; and goaded to the quick by the
mans actions, when he made his APP
pearance, most foully cut his throat
and drag his supposed corpse to the
track that the body might be cut up
and evidence of murder obliterated?
There should be no doubt that MolI
was murdered. The high standing Of
the supposed criminal may muzzle the
press and by so doing throw sand in
the eyes ofpeople whose intellect will
not permit them to believe otherwise!
the mistakes ofMoll may be brought
into requisition to act as. oil on the
troubled waters raging beneath the sur
face of public opinion; but it will last
short time only. Right will tri-
umph and the murderers brought to
justice.

The opening Of the Baltimore Confer
ence draws nearer, and the Methodists
of the city are longing for wind to
blow away tho mud, but the mud re-
CARDS the situation with unflinching
calmness. The fact that 200 Methodist
preachers and fifty visiting laymen will
be tramping on its placid bosom tonight,
makes no wrinkle in its face.
The committee on homes was busy
yesterday completing the details of the
necessary arrangements and everything
will be in readiness.
Several arrived last night and many
more will arrive to-day, and the larger
part of the conference will be here on
the evening trains. They will be met
at the depot by the reception committee
and there will be general meeting at
Greene Memorial Church, and those
who are to entertain the members of the
conference are expected to be present
and take charge of their guests.
The conference board of missions, J.
S. Gardner, president, will meet in the
evening.
The opening sermon will be preached
by Rev. j. p. Stump, of Moorefield, this
evening at 7:30.
The conference will meet in the main
auditorium of Greene Memorial Church,
and will be called to order tomorrow
morning at Q o'clock by Bishop E. R..
Hendricks, who will preside over the
deliberations of the body. The sessions
will be held every morning from to 12.
and there will be religious services at
the churches of the city during the
week.
Rev j. II. Boyd closed his term of
service i'll RoanokeSunday by conference
limitation. Rev. Mr.. Boyd took charge
of the Methodist Church South in Roam
ohe four years ago, when the member
ship Of the church was 24O, and the
church property valued at 81, 500. The
salary then paid the pastor was 1000
per year.
AT the end Of his pastorate the mem
bcrship is $50, and the church property
is valued ut $50, 900. During the four
years 5i7 persons have professed con-
version in the protracted meetings he
has held, and has taken 620 people into
the church. The Sunday-school has in
creased over !, 900 in membership. The
work had grown SO rapidly that at the
beginning Of the conference year just
closing the field was too large for one
man, and Rev. Mr.. Boyd and Rev. c. IL.
buchanan were jointly appointed to the
passionate of the church, being received
on an equal footing.
The wisdom of the increase of work
| ing force has been demonstrated, fo1
the church has grown more rapidly than
ever before. The sacond Sunday-school
was organized early in the year and the
church will report four large schools
Trinity Churchs has been organized
and the time will soon be ripe for the
organization of tho third church.
The Methodists Of the city generally
regret that Rev. Mr. Boyd's term ex
lires, and are glad that Rev. Mr.. Blu
chanan, who has been hero only year,
is likely to remain.

A white man. giving his name as
| Brewer, camc to Officer Eanes Sunday
| morning about o'clock and said he had
been robbed of SEQ on Railroad avenue.
The man said that while passing along
the street he was1accosted bya negro,
| who said there was white man lying
| drunk in the rear of Motcn's saloon.
| Brewer followed him to the rear Of
| the building, where he was induced to
take several drinks, and soon became
SO drunk that he hardly knew where he
was. The last he remembers was a
crowd of negroes gathering around him,
and one of them laid him down. When
he sobered up they wcro gone, and he
found himself minus $50.
The officers proceeded to investigate
tho case, but could find no clew on
which to work. The man was evidently
very drunk.
