This Was in Hard Times.

A story was recently told of how
a preacher tested the effect of the
hard times upon his congregation.
At the conclusion of one of his SER
mons he said:
"Let everybody in the house who
pay their debts stand up"
Instantly every man, woman and
child. with one exception, arose from
their seats. He seated the crowd and
then said:
"Let every man who is not paying
his debts stand up"
The exception noted, care worn,
hungry individual, clothed in his last
summers suit, slowly assumed per-
pendicular position and leaned upon
the back of the seat in front of him
"How is it, my friend," inquired
the minister, 'that you are the only
man in this vast congregation who is
unable to meet his obligations ?"
81 publish a newspaper" he meekly
replied, land my brethren here, who
have just stood up, are my subscrib
ers, and"
''Let us pray!" exclaimed the min
lister.

THE QUICK sTEAMING CONTEST
How Newbern and Wilmington Tried
to Play the Trick.

The Greensboro Record tells the
story about how Newbern and Will
mington tried to "work a trick" on
the other fire companies in the quick
Steaming contest.
Newbern's steamer company has a
patent boiler which is used for quick
steaming, enabling them to fire up in
about 2.30. They have won all these
contests every year and on this occa-
sion they said as the fun was to be
held in their own town they would
not enter this time but let some 9th
er company have it.
And they didn't enter, but the gen.
tleman who told the story says the
reason for it was ascertained after
the flremen got to Newbern, which
was that Wilmington's city council
refused to let her engine leave unless
Newbern would send over one of hers
to take its place.
This was done and that is why her
SilSby was not in it.
But the trick was this: To induce
Wilmington to bring her steamer
Newbern said to her men that they
would fit the Silsby quick steam
ing boiler into the Wilmington en-
gine, show her engineer how to run
1t, and they could easily scoop in the
800 prize.
And so the boiler was put in and
the engineer trained, but somehow he
was afraid of the thing-for they say
it is dangerous and requires fine care
to keep her from blowing up-and lost
the prize after all, Greensboro's La
France, with no tricks or devices,
easily walking off with the 800.
Wilmington was first awarded sec
ond prize, but when the unfairness
was unearthed the committee gave
Winston prize No. 2.

MAD NEGROES AGAIN.
The COlOred ExcursiOnisfs From
ReidsviIle to Winston

This is not only a season of excur-
sions but likewise a season for sex

many OF them try to carry more
passengers than is allowed by their
contract, viz: Sc passengers to coach.
Monday, Aug. 5, a crowd of colored
excursionisos from ReidsvilIe reached
Greensboro on their way to Winston
The Record says they we're already
about up to the limit, but when the
train stopped there the manager got
out and commenced selling more
tickets. 1t is said before he got
through he was offering round trip
to Winston for ten cents.
The railroad people soon got on to
the game and when the manager was

gers than the law allowed.
He didn't want to pay any excess
the train was finally sidetracked
where it remained until $50 that
afternoon, when it got off, but there
was mad set left behind. The mana
ger went up town along in the after
noon and it seemed to be understood
that the train would go no further.
And So it was that about 60 or Is of
the crowd came along with him.
After StrOlling along while, the
manager got off and went back to the
train, when, his "eXceSS' being re-
duced, he pulled out for Winston,
leaving some 75 of his crowd in Green's
boro. When they found the train
had left they were hot, OF course.

Looking for Blind Children.

Mr.. w. j. Young, principal of the
deaf, dumb and blind institute, at
Raleigh, was in the city last week.
He is making a tour of the State with
Il view of securing every blind child,
between and p years of age. They
will be placed in the institute and
cared for free of charge. If there are
anyswhite blind children in Forsyth
Mr.. Young would take it as favor to
be notified. The institution consists of
two departments the white and col
ored. The two classes are in separate
buildings, situated at the distance of
mile apart; still each enjoys equal
privileges and advantages with the
other, being, as they are, under the
same principal and board Of trustees.
He says his institutionwill take all
colored deaf, dumb andblind children.

race. Referred to Martins testimony
that he was going to help Vickers, by
Ned. We all have that feeling, but
there are times when this prejudice
should be laid aside and Justice ad-
ministered. He wanted the same JUS
tice that would be administered
to the wisest and best man
in the community if indicted for
crime. He argued that the killing of
Vickers by Tuttle was not murder in
either degree, nor manslaughter, but
was self-defence-that there was no
generalization and no malice.
Col. Staples was followed by Mr.. J.
Q. Buxton, for the prosecution, who
promised his speech with the state
ment that this case was one of i'm
portance to the State and to the
prisoner. AS representative of the
State, he wished to say, as far as the
race question was concerned, that the
courthouse is no place for this ques-
tion 30 be discussed. Newspapers and
politicians have that privilege. 1t is
unnecessary for counsel to bring this
question to the attention Of the jury,
because this jury was above anything
of that kind when 1T comes to admin
lstering Justice. He conceded to the
prisoner the same rights accorded any
one and required of him the same
obedience to the laws of the country.
He didn't ask for any verdict different
than if this mans skin was white.
Mr.. Buxton proceeded to argue that
the killing was murder in the first
degree.
Before Mr.. Buxton had concluded
his argument, a recess was taken un-
til 3 o'clock.
Court opened Saturday at 3:20p. NJ,
there being delay of some minutes
on account of the indisposition of one
of the jurors.
Promptly after the opening of court
Mr.. Buxton resumed his argument in
behalf Of the State, and made a very
strong speech.

THE SAME OLD STORY.
Another Dull Week on Winston's Leaf
Market-Heavy Shipments.

1t is the same old story, and no ma
terial variation may be looked for for
some time yet. This has been another
featureless, dull week on the Winston
leaf market. The breaks have been
light and the offerings mainly odds
and ends. Prices are good enough for
the stuff. Last years crops are nearly
exhausted; a few full breaks would
probably take the last bit of it.
The news from the tobacco fields in
this part of the world is still encourag-
ing. Some little damage by hail in
spots reported, but on the whole the
crop is doing nicely. A few weeks
more will tell the tale-whether we
are to have the long desired and much
needed good crop, or considerable
addition to the already too large
stock Of common goods now held.
Heavy shipments of manufactured
tobacco continue, and the prospects
are good for the fall and winter, as
the South promises to harvest fine
crops of all kinds this year.
The stamp sales for the week are as

A MONUMENT TO DAVIS,
The Association Has $4,000 in Cash
for that Purpose

RICHMOND, Va, Aug. THE JEFF
ferson Davis monument committee,
appointed by the Grand Camp Of Con
federate Veterans of Virginia at its
last meeting, met here last night to
consider what steps should be taken
to raise the fund for the proposed
monument. Hon. j. Taylor Ellyson,
president Of the association, appeared
before the committee and stated that
the amount already in bank in cash
to the credit of the monument fund
was over $4,000.
The committee adopted resolution
providing that the chairman be re-
quested to communicate with every
Confederate camp and camps of Sons
of Confederate Veterans in this State,
asking them to use their best Efforts
toward raising subscriptions for the
monument fund, and to appoint day
when representative of the commit
tee could meet the camps and confer
with them as to the best means to be
adopted with this end in view.
