GA Summer Jaunt in England, Scot
land, Ireland and France" written by
Maj Harrell. This alone is worth the
price of the Teacher.
All the ministers in Winston
Salem have withdrawn from the Twin
City Club. They give as a eason ttat
they will belong to no pleasure organi-
zation that plays cards and billiards
and keeps open on Sundays. The
world is growing better.
~ This is a curious country. We
have always thought that churches
were the Masters property, but the
pastor of a Philadelphia church had
the Sheriff to seize the property the
other day because the congregation
owed him part of his salary,
~ Capt. Sam Ashe, of Raleigh, de-
livered the memorial address at Will
mington on the 10th. His subject was,
1.-THE right of the States to secede."
Col. Harrison should cali out his mill
tary and notify Col. Sheppard that the
rebellion has broke out again in the
South.
~ When the Emperor Of China got
married it cost him 50, 900, 900. 1t is
not stated how the money was spent.
But that isn't much. A breach of
promise suit costs nearly that amount
in this country. But you car get a
divorce in wholesale markets like Chi
cago for 1925.
~ We are in receipt of an invita-
ton to the annual commencement of
Chowan Baptist Female Institute,

It was umOred around the streets
in Raleigh one day last week that DR..
Kingsbury, of Wilmington, had pur
sued the Democratic pig into a swamp
near Wilmington and that the pig and
DR.. Kingsbury both were drowned.
There was great excitement for a time.
DR.. Kingsbury Indignantly denies the
rumor, says he was chasing a grave
yard rabbit instead of the pig. He
wanted to get the lucky foot"
~ We have just received a copy of
the Patti Waltz Tyrolienne, composed
by Charlie Baker. It is simple and
remarkably pretty, car be played on
piano or organ. The title page contains
an elegant photo of "Adelina Patti"
the world renowned songstress in stage
costume. Price 40 cents per copy. To
readers of this paper a copy will be
sent upon receipt of 90 cents in silver
or postage stamps by addressing the
publishers, Baker & Helmick, 265

The Ne1U8 and Observer says,
1.-The Alliance leaders have p%rejudiced
the people against the editor of this
paper sc thoroughly that if he should
be nominated for any office he would
fall short of the party strength
by forty thousand votes" We
never heard such an admission
before, but we think the editor of
the NeIrs and Observer is mistaken.
Our advices are that he would lack
about n hundred and forty thousand
votes Of carrying the party strength.
If a full vote is polled, perhaps more.
~ The committee on credentials
threw out Swift creek township, Wake

to keep him from being a delegate to
the State Convention. This was because
he got a resolution through at the pri-
mary advocating the St. Louis de-
mands. They afterwards begged him
to back down from his advocacy of the
st. Louis platform. He refused and
they made him a delegate, though he
and his delegation had been thrown
out, to the State Convention, anyhow.
Thus Wake county convention prac-
tically endorsed the st. Louis platform.
Three cheers for S. Ohio Wilson!
~ Pretty game that, Wal street
packing all the Democratic conventions
in Republican States for Cleveland.
Thus they go into the Chicago Conven-
ton and put up a man to whom these
