AN OLD ORGANIZATION.
YOUNG MEMS MISSIONARY So
CIETY, OF SALEM.
The Anniversary Service-Address by
Rev. DIR. Hark Fine Music
Coffee and Cake.

Rev. DIR. Hark Fine Music
Coffee and Cake.
The Young Mems Missionary So
ciety of the Moravian church Of Salem
is an organization that has been in
existence for many years and has
done much good. The object of the
association is of a two-fold nature.
One is to enlist the young men of
the church in good work and thus
bind them together in the organiza-
tion. The other object is to secure
money to be sent to the brave men
and women who are working in hea-
then lands. The Salem Museum,
which has within it rare and valuable
cariosities and historic relics, was
founded by this organization. So too
at various times it has furnished
reading rooms for the young men of
the town. Recently the organization
has been re-established on a stronger
and more active basis, and is doing
very good work indeed. The special
yearly meeting is always an occasion
of interest, but this year our young
friends determined to make q special
effort. Accordingly the Rev. J. Max
Hark, ID D., president of the Young
was invited to deliver the address.
This gentleman is q man of ability
and prominence and his visit was
looked forward to with great interest.
Friday night the meeting was held in
the Moravian hurch. The church
was crowded with an earnest and in
terested audience. The first portion
consisted of specially prepared SER
vice of song and responsive reading,
yHyif I, he uinr
feast. The music was unusually fine.
A large choir rendered tue anthems,
and the Salem Orchestra accompanied
the singing. The second portion of
the service was the reports of the OIL
GERS and the address by DR.. Hark.
From the officers we learn that gifts
amounting to S175 have been given to
various fields Of missionary work,
some to Alaska, some to SouGh Amer
lea, to the West Indies and to Africa.
Letters were read from the mission
Pfohl is president of the association
and Mr.. VIII Pfohl secretary.
Mr. Hark followed with stirring
address, alluding to the glorious his
tory of Moravian missions, and ap-
pealins to the young men to work as
earnestly today in the cause as was
done by the church fathers in the
past. Bishop Rondthaler, who pre-
sided over the meeting, then called
for liberal gifts from the congrega-
tion, and this was heartily responded
to. The collection was taken up and
resulted in placing into the treasury
of the society about S136.
AS the company dispersed at the
close of the service, and passed out in
to the bright moonlight and to the
| comfortable homes, protected by
christian laws and blessed by chris
tian civilization, no one regretted the
small gift thrown into the collection
plate, intended to aid in sending
| these same blessings to heatnen lands,
but all were stirred with renewed in
terest in the great mission work, SC
peculiarly the labor of the Mo-
raYian church.

THOMAS SETTLE In 1T.
He Will Retain His Seat-Washiguon
Notes OF Local Interest.

The majority OF Democrats and all
the Republicans will sign the report
of the elections committee retaining
Settle in his seat. 1t is not decided
whether Williams friends on the COM
mites will make minority report.
All hope of fight in the House is
gone. The reason assigned by his
friends for the breakdown is the
weak manner in which the testimony
was taken. 1t has been the opinion
here for some time that while Settles
case was managed admirably, not so
much by himself as his counsel, the
contestants was far short of the re-
quirements of the case. Williams
case was Interestingly strong.

NORTH CAROLINA PREACHERS,
A Brother and Brother-ip>Lawo of Mrs.
j. w. AIspaugh, Of Winston.

A letter from ReY. Mr.. GilderOy of
Mississippi, in this weeks issue of the
Raleigh Christian Advocate, contains
the following about two diyines, who
were well known in North Carolina.
The first one mentioned (Mr. Allen)
was a brother-in-law of Mrs. j. w. Al
spaugh, of Winston, while the second
(Gen. Tucker was brother of Mrs. A ::
''Rev Archibald G. Allen, d. d,
once preacher in your State, the
most intimate preacher friend ever
had, used TO talk to me by the hour
about North Carolina. He spent
many long and useful years in Mississ-
ipp as teacher, preacher, circuit rider
and presiding elder. A true and
mighty man of God he was. He moved
TO Iiexls and died there. His son,
Rev Jno. r. Allen. D. D., now in
Texas, is worthy of his fathers
mantle. Another son, VIM. r. Allen
is a worthy and influential lawyer in
Terre II, Texas DR.. A. G. Allen was
great friend and admirer of DR.. n. f.
Reid, of your State.
"Gen. w. F. Tucker, brother-in
law Of the elder DR.. Allen, also a
North Carolinian, was one of the
truest, bravest and noblest Christian
gentlemen | have ever known. l was
chaplain of his Brigade during the
war-his pastor before and after the
war, and | knew him as | have known
few men He was prince among
men. He was wounded in the right
arm at the battle Of Perryville, KY,
and had to learn how to write with his
left hand Then at the battle of
Resaca, Ga, he was wounded in the
left arm, and some three or four inches
of the bone in the upper arm had to
be resected, and after that he wrote
with pain and difficulty with his right
hand again. For courage, physical
and moral intrepidity, enterprise,
energy, true nobility of character and
generosity, limited only by the empti-
ness of his purse, he was prlncely
man He was a fine lawyer, and as
true to God and truth, before the
court and jury, as in the prayer meet
ing He scorned a mean or little thing
and never stopped to quirks and turns
in the practice of his profession. Ii
he found that a client had deceived
him, or lied to him, he threw up the
case at once. / have seen him do this
before the court and jury while the
case was being tried. General VIM.
T. Tucker was foully assassinated in
his own home some ten or twelve
years ago. He was known, loved, and
honored in every nook and corner of
this great commonwealth. Mississippi
is rich in North Carolinians both liv-
lug and dead"

PETER DeGRAFF
Is Forgiving Hut is Sorry He Didn't
Shoot the Officers.


Peter DeGraff talked freely to a
friend who called the other day. The
prisoner was quiet and said: 81 don't
blame anybody but myself. have
forgiven everybody and do not fear to
die at.all and don't mind being hang
ed. But / would like to live long
enough to take care of my mother
Then they could hang me or burn me
at the stake.
The conversation turned upon the
dead girl, Ellen Smith. Somebody
will have to suffer for the murder of
that woman" exclaimed Peter, "but
I didn't kill her." His friend said:
s'You ought to have kept your mouth
shut; you might not have come to this
end.' Peter nodded assent to this re-
mark, and added: 81 don't blame
anybody but myself. But I am sorry
/ didn't draw my pistol and shoot the
officers down. 1 made a mistake in
coming back this way" "Well," said
the visitor, ''de you not feel bad now
that you are soon to go to eternity?'
YES" responded Peter, tits too bad
| especially for a man in such good
| health"

Tim McGoozelum was roosting on
the courthouse fence today when one
of his many friends came along and
told that Alderman Pierce was out of
politics. What" exclaimed Tim.
''Iz Holleraway Pierce out er poler-
tiks? Well, I'm surprized. | thought

At this point Tim changed his quid

and changed the subject too. He
said: Il got fooled fu dayz ago.
