THE ANNUAL CONVENTION
MEETING OF NOBLE NORTH
CAROLINA WOMEN
Tho Eleventh Annual COnV e ntiOn
OF The VVOmaE's Chrlssian Tenn
perauce Union Begins Xesler-
day at waYnesviIle.

WAYNEsvILLE, N. c., July 22.-Twcnty-
two delegates to the annual convention
of the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union of North Carolina were found on
the wcstbound train as we nearcd the
highland city of Waynesville Thursday
afternoon. The first to welcome the
sistcrhood was our own Mrs. Branner-
ours and theirs. Hacks were in waiting
and these ladies were conducted to their
appointed homes.
Yesterday morning the convention
assembled in the upper hall of the
Wayncsville academy, made beautiful by
the touch of womanIy fingers and
artistic draping of banners with ferns,
flowers and masses of evergreen. Mrs.
Mary c. Woody, president, called the
| meeting to order at 10 a. m. Devotional
exercises were conducted by Mrs. F.. M.
Bumpass OF Greensboro. Her theme was
| the parable of the vine and the branches.
The 11th annual convention was then
declared open, and the corresponding
| secretary called the roll of State officers
and members. Eleven superintendents,
| two local presidents and one "Y'' pres
ident answered to their names.
The following committees were ap-
pointed by the chair: On credentials,
| finance, courtesies and resolutions.
Among the guests introduced in the
| morning session of the convention were
| Mr.. and Mrs. Cadwalader of Florida;
Prof. and Mrs. Davis of Smithfield; DIR.
| Sarah Evonson OF Philadelphia, and DIR.
| Ector of our own State. After these
graver courtesics, Miss Emma White,
| our new "Y" president, was greeted
by the convention with Chautauqua sa-
| lutte.
| A Bible reading with noontide prayer
was conducted by Mrs. Turner of Ashe-
vile, commenting on this beautiful pas
| sage from Isaiah: 81 will be as the dew
unto Israel and he shall grow as the lily
| and cast forth his roots as Lebanon"
| This developed into a testimony meeting
and thus "In the name of our God we set
up our banner"
After feasting upon an elegant lunch
served by the ladies of Waynesville the
convention reassembled for business.
Mrs. Iredale led in devotions, reading the
91st Psalm. The leading feature of the
| afternoon session was the president s
annual address, which was elegant, force
full and spiritual. Its suggestions were
referred to the committee on plan OF
work.
The evening session was an ovation OF
welcomes and grateful respondings. In
behalf of the mayor. cordial greetings
were extended by Mr.. Howell. On be-
half of the churches, earnest words were
spoken by Rev. Geo. Wharton. But the
crowning welcome was extended by our
loved Mrs. Branner, with fitting responss
| by Mrs. TomlinSon. Then came a coliec
tion surprise in Mrs. Cadwalader's best
style, resulting in $6.36 net gain to oul
treasury,

NO Worse.

NO Worse.
NEW YORK, July Or. G. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review of trade says:
This week the country has withstood
surprisingly we'll an extraordinary
strain. The Denver banks were over
thrown largely by the crazy unwisdom
of the people, and several in Kansas have
gone down, but in most cities state
ments Just published show the banks in
healthy condition.
The great depression in stocks came at
the time when easier money, some return
of currency from the interior, and the be-
ginning of gold imports from Europe
made many hopeful. The c,osing of
many manufacturing establishments is
the inevitable result of the great shrink
age In orders for some time past and the
uncertainty regarding the future.
The gloomy crop reports by the de-
partments also contributed to check
reviving hopes. Under all conditions it
is astonishing that business has been SO
we'll maint aimed with SO little evidence
of unsoundneSS.

THE TRAIN WAS JOKING.
And Collector ELIAS Had a Rum
for Nothing.

Collector Elias went out yesterday af-
ternoon to his home in Franklin, where
he will remain with his family until
Tuesday. Mr.. Elias put off starting for
the train till the fast minute, and conse-
quently sprinted few hundred Yards to
catch a car. When the car reached the
depot the train was pulling from under
the shed, and the Collector propelled his
moderately-rotund corporosity over
about 200 yards at Nancy Hanks gait.
He caught the train and-just then it
began backing onto another track, and
Mr.. Elias had .Iis run for nothing. But
he gave an exhibition of sprinting pow
ers sufficient to tcrrity moonshners. No
appointments need bc looked for until
his return.

DOESN'T NEED A PENSION.
Am lex Soldier of Michigan Sur
priset by the Department.

DETROIT, Mich, July 22.-The most
sensational thing that has come to
light relative to the purgiug of the
pension list is the suspension of Justice
Charles Dean Long, of the Michigan
Supreme court. Few soldiers in this
State suffer from wounds as severe as
those of Justice Long. At the battle
of Wilmington Island, Georgia, he lost
his left arm and he was shot through
the hips and abdomen. This wound
has still to be dressed twice daily. The
notice of suspension is brief, formal
document and gives no clue to the
reasons that have influenced the course
of the department..

the Lambeth pauper is the next Of kin.
1t was only the other day that he was

The estate consists of property valued
at el60.0 900. alleged to lie principally in
the neighborhood of st. Georges, Han

personally amounted to no less than

refusing to gamble or drink firewater.
Several weeks ago T. ID. Page placed a
bill against Cash-Cas in bank at PEN

been fully satisfied. lie was informed
that receipt was not necessary. as the
books i'll the bank would show that 1t
had been settled. Cash-C Cash persisted,
when the receipt was made ont. When
the paper was handed him, Cash Cash
was satisfied. and when he started TO

Long distance rho,oeraphy Assured.

Ii is said that long distance photog-
raphy is rendered quite a success with
the new camera with telescope objec-
tive of DIR. Adolph Miethe. The object
consists of convex lens of considerable
length of focus and concave lens of
short focus. These are placed a certain
distance apart. depending on the differ
ences of the two focuses. BY the laws OF
optics this arrangement projects an in
vcrted image of an object at long dis
tance from the lenses. The size of the
object is greater the nearer the lenses are
together and the greater the distance be-
tween the focuses.

whole camera looks very much like a
