form the service, and large pro
portion of the Justices were Presby-
terisns. There was no difficulty for
persons of the Presbyterian faith to
be married by a Presbyterian; if
there was no Presbyterian minister
near by, there certainly were Pres
byterian justices accessible.
But for such marriages license
had to be procured from the proper
county officer and fee psid for the
marriage license just as now. In
addition to that expense, under the
act of 1866 a marriage fee was fixed,
and that fee was given under the
law to the parson OF the Established
Church, if there was one in the
parish. If there were no parson OF
the Established Church settled in
the parish, the marriage fee, we sup
pose, wss to be kept by tte person
performing the ceremony,
But while the Presbyterian clergy
did, under the act of 174l, perform
the marriage service, that act did
not authorize them to perform il
simply by publishing the bands
and without marriage license ob
tained from the county officer.
TIE act of 1896 allowed them tt
| perform it by the publication o
bands, and app arently without I
marriage license. That seems to b
the difference. At this Gay ther'
must be marriage lioense just a
| there was under the act of 1741.

STATE PRIDE.

A people without pride are gen
orally held in poor esteem by otLors.
North Caroliniars for one cause or
another have been lacking in pride
aud our neighbors in Virginia and
South Carolina look upon Us with 8
sort OF conplacent contempt.
TIE other day gentleman Of ed
ucaticn and manrers came into our
Office and inquired foG a Carolina
paper. Knowing what he meant,
we handed him two from South
Carolina without comment. But
thst is fair index Of how people
outside of North Carolina think Of
us and of our State. 1t is hsbituai
with them. And We contribute to
foster the habit. We never assert
ourselves. We never stand before
the world and assert that we take
pride in North Carolina products
We never proclaim that our most
important North Carolina product
our men-are the equal of other
men. We never act On that as
sumption. We do not think it. We
belittle ourselves. We play the role
of Uriah Heep in our miserable hu-
| mility. We court contempt and we
receive it. That is the truth of the
| matter. And still North Carolina
has much to be proud Of. She
| has right to be proud Of her sol
diers, her statesmen, her orators,
her scholars, her preachers. LIST us
foster State pride. Let us cultivate
! it. Let us at least cease being a
collection of Uriah Keeps.

The Baltimore Sun remarks
"Why should any public man, and
especially Democ,at. hesitate to
range himaeif on the side on which
he intends to vote? T. is a simple
issue, snd complicated with any
other question, and affording 70
ground for q dioker or q deal
Other questions affecting the cur
rency and the financial legislation
OF the country may come up later
on, but the absolute and uncondi-
tional repeal of that 'cowardly
makeshift" Sherman acts
the plain duty resting upon Dem
ocratic Congress to the perform
snce of which it is urgently in
vited by a Democratic President"
That is just where we differ with
The Sun. It is not g simple issue
The silver act has two operations,
one in regard to silver; the other
making an addition of fifty millions
of dollars annually to the currency.
And while it might be we'll enough
that it's operation in regard to silver
should cease, it is not desirable that
the addition it makes to the cur
rency should cease until those
"other questions affecting the cur.
rency" are satisfactorily solved
Now is the time for patriots to be
firm. Let no one be stampeded by
such papers as The Sun.
RETURNING to the article in tht
New York Sun, based On DR.
Weeks new book, we make tbi
clipping from it:
'Then, again, although Scotlan,
was supposed to enjoy equal right
with England in the colonies, eve,
Presbyterian ministers were nc
allowed to perform the marriag
ceremony till 1766, and when the
did perform it, the fee went to th
local minister of the Church {

minister could not marry a couple

We are not sure at this momel
how it was before 1741. In tn
year marriage act was passed, ar
after that year Presbyterian mini
ters married couples. In 1766, Il
marriage act of 1741 was amende
and in the new act there is q recit
that whereas certain Presbyteri
