Hr. Thompson In Sampson.

Clement, y. c., Nov. -, 1898.
The South River AlIianc. Union
Was held to-day with the Stltw Pond
sub alliance. Bro. J. L. Hover who
was billed for a speech on The occa-
sion was on duty in other parts of
the State, and Bro. Cyrus Thompson
came to fill the appointment and
made one of the best speeches that
was ever made in the county OF
Sampson. For about three hours he
dealt out the true alliance doctrines
in manner that ought to convince
the most skeptical that the mission
of the alliance is only just begun,
and that the remedy for the depress-
ed condition of our country lies III
organization and education and that
no political parry Of whatever name
left to themselves will ever grant re-
lief to the down trodden sons of toll,
But any attempt on my part to give
even a synopsis of DR.. Thompson's
speech would be futile. Suffice it tt
say that those who did not hear the
speech were simply unfortunate.

Evangelist Oakes---The Meetings Closed.
Rev. Mr.. Cakes, the Irish Evange-
list, took his departure Monday, aft
or being in oHr town nearly two
weeks and preaching thirteen ser
mons, He is a very graceful speaker.
His style is very different from that
of most preachers and evangelists.
During the first few days Of the
meeting there were many who were
disappointed in the man. To the
average nearer, (who had not antici-
pated meeting of So iiitis excite
ment and fascinating olatory), the
first few sermons might have been a
little boring. Not becasse he failed
to give valuable instructions in the
"Sehooi Of Christ" but simply be-
cause they failed to appreciate this
new style of evangelism.
None but attentive listeners can
enjoy his sermons, which are deep
and full Of logic. 1t took accurate
thinking to keep from losing the
thread OF his argument. The better
the people become acquainted with
his style the better they like him.
Every one of his sermons will bear
hearing twice. and to the average
mind, the second hearing might
prove more beneficial than the first,
He preached to full houses. At the
close of the meeting last Sunday
night his praise was on every tongue.
Mr.. Cakes is Baptist and his field
OF labor is in Boston. He came South
for his health, and we are glad to
know that our Southland agrees with
him. He will conduct a series of
meetings at Wallace, puplin county,
beginning next Sunday. The people

DEMOCRATS ENCOURAGED TO EVADE
THE LAW

The following is from the editori-
al columns of the Charlotte Observer
of Nov 3Oth:
ave are glad to see that Collector
Simmons has given DR.. Blacknal a
job. He was in the revenue service
under Mr.. Cleveland's former admin
istration, and it was he, as will be
remembered, who in his perambula-
tons one day, accosted a moonshiner
and told him he had just seen the
President and the Old Man had said
it was all right for the boys to make
a small run occasionally but that
they must move back a little from
the road. They say that when this
story was told the President he
laughed until all the people in the
room thought he was going to have
apoplexy. We repeat that we are
glad DR.. Blacknall is to be in the
service again. His methods of ad-
ministering the internal revenue laws
are calculated 10 moul1y their sever
ity."
The above is unworthy of the
Democratic party and disgrace to
the editor of the Observer. If the
Internal Revenue laws are wrong,
the Democratic party is in full pow
err and should have the honesty and
manhood to change or repeal them.
But as long as the party keeps the
laws on the books, shame on them to
advise their sworn officers to ignore
the laws and encourage others to vio-
late them. All right thinking men
must condemn the sentiment ex-
pressed in the above clipping.

The Pleasure Problem.

Between the young life and the
temptations Of An evil world, God
has set the Christian home. Can
anything be more pitiful than that
this home should open its doors to
temptation, letting the poisonous
atmosphere Of unnatural excitement
Danish the sweet serenity that should
breathe through it? There is not a
community where half dozen deter
mined Christian households; working
togeteher, might not bring about
any social reform they thought de-
sireable in their own circle, and
such homes would be sanctuaries of
blessing to all coming within their
influence. Why not unite to keep
up a round Of informal, simple home
receptions: for reading, for study,
for music, for entertainment-for
anything rational that shall make
prominent the idea of mutual help
fulness and the fact that we are Ill
this world for growth and education
and advance, and not as simple
irresponsible p}eassre-seekers.-
