services.
DR.. Hooper began his sermon by the
reading the roll of the last synod held In
this church-that of 1S4-which met
amid the throes of war, and near the
close OF the conflict. 1t was made me-
morable by the cordial union of the old
and new school synods OF Virginia, a
union that has not since been disturbed
by a single ripple. Owing to the con-
dition Of the country much of the terri
tory of the State being In the hands OF
the northern army. the attendance was
small: GA from the old school and IL
from the new. Many of the young men
were I'm the army as chaplains; many Of
the old men could not leave their homes

church had found his rest beneath the
sod in the cemetery OF TINS TOWN, Whllsl
the noble hero. Robert II. Lee. was bat
Ting in the trenches around Petersburg
The subject Of the discourse which en-
gagged the most intense interest Of the
large congregation for more than an hour
was the memory of our fathers who were
here in 1864. He mentioned first the
pastor of this church. Dr. William $.
White. the grand old man. who so long
and lovingly held the pastorate charge
of this church. and next Colonel John t.
l.. Preston, long a prominent elder Of
the same church and the father of its
present pastor
The sketches which the speaker gave
of the prominent men of that body were
admirable. particularly the portraitures or
grand and striking characters. After the
sermon Or. Robert p. Kerr OF Richmond,
was elected moderator. and Rev. p. p.
Flournoy and Mr.. William c. Preston
temporary clerks.

VANCE TO FARMERS
He Urges Them to Organize, But Not Gs a
Political Party.

(Speciai telegram TO the Dispstch.)
RALEIGH, y. c., October H-Governor
Vance spoke an hour at the State Fair to-
day to about 1000 persons. He urged the
farmers to organize. and declared that
he was pleased to know that as a class
they had determined that they have other
duties besides earning their daily bread;
but he declared that the very minute they
became a political party they would lose
their Identity as farmers, and lose also
their influence. He then said SO long
as you act as farmers, all the political
parties will court you, but when you
become n political party the other parties
will fight you and you will lose the re-
gard of all the good men In the other
parties.
MAKE NO NEW ALLIANCE.
He urged the farmers to make no new
political alliance, but to throw their whole
weight In favor of any men or party which
agree with them as to the best measure
for the true good Of the people. He show
ed what the Democrats would do In ma
tlonal affairs. by what they had done in
State affairs in North Carolina. He spoke
half an hour on the silver question. and
said compromise bill would soon pass
probably the Harris bill. He declared that
the bankers when hurt made the most
and greatest noise. while the farmers
suffer I'm silence. He characterized the
late panic as fraudulent. and said the
bankers had shipped gold out Of the
country at loss for a double purpose-to
procure the defeat OF the Sherman bill
and to lower the prices Of stocks

DUE TO BAD HEALTH.

The cause of the suicide is a mystery
but 1t Is generally believed TO have been
due to bad health. depression of spirits
and insomnia. coupled with losses on pea
nuts. OF which he had large stock, and
upon which ne had made heavy advances
to his country customers And yet this
is only supposition. as his friends were
not aware of any serious financial trou-
