The "Reformers" who are now hold

an increase OF 81, $40 over tile payroll

The brother of Speaker Waiser is a

of James A. Cheek, of Orange, listed
as "laborer," is duly installed as

for Democrats have neyer heard of

naturally gets 81 50 per day, though

| casioned by fire at the Davis Mill

| Salem's fire departments were not
| long in needing the call. However,
the engine of Winston Company No.

q She fire originated in A BaTrack,
and is supposed to have started by
stick of wood rolling out in the floor
from the fireplace, 4 one Of the rooms
on the second floor, occupied by two
cadets
The cadets were st recitation at
the time, but as soon as the fire was
discovered it was seen that the build
ing could not be saved from de-
structiOn.
The school owns a water tank, but
during the recent cold snap 1t froZe
up, causing some or the pipes TO
burst. thereby rendering it useless
The Winston engine was stopped on
the bridge just beyond tie EN- bank
ment of the Mocksville railroad track,
and from that punt it did some splen-
did work, over two Thousand feet of
hose being required to reach the
flames
The branch was damned up and
thereby made To furnish a sufficient
supply of water for the engine. The
hremen worked manfully, but were
unable to save the hsrrack or the one
adjoining. Both were burned to the
ground and the third one was badly
damaged
The colored hook and ladder COM
pany was also at the fire and put in
some good work.
Shortly after the fire was discovered
box Of dynamite was secured for the
purpose OF blowing OUT the second
barfark, which WAS burned, in case
no water could be used from the
branch
The fire will in no way interfere
with the school, which will be c"ntin-
ued as usual The buildings will be
replaced in short time
THE CONDUCTOR CENsURED.
The street car conductor on the
Fourth street line. is being freely
censured for refusing to haul several
of the tiFemen who happened not TO
have the money with them for their
fares, while en- route to the fire. The
conductor said he had received in
strucCions from the uperintendent
not TO haul any firemen who did not
pay their fare. The t1remen say this
is the first time they have ever been
asked to pay when going to fire The
conductor is charged with having
hauled one fireman free Ofcharge after
putting of four of the men.

PEARSON AT CHAPEL HILL.
He is BrinE Grreted with Crowded
HouHes.

HouHes.
Tie College Chapel at the State
University is already too small to ac-
commodate the crowds who assemble
twice each each day to hear Evange-
list Pearson.
At the Bible reading Wednesday
morning Mr. Pearson made d request
that for the evening sermon ladies
Should take the gallery, and leave the
body of the Chapel for men and boys.
This was done, and a crowded house
listened TO a most earnest appeal to
the unconverted from the text, Mark
1886, 81: For what shall it profit a
man, if he shall gain the whole world,
and lose his own soul? Or, what shall
| a man give in exchange for his soul "
A Chapel Hill correspondent says
that the earnest speaker turned the
| great search-light of Gods word on
| the traffic of human souls for the
| barter of vanishing worldly pleasures,
| most feelingly depicting their price
| less value in the sight of God, in that
| He gave His own Son for their re-
| demption.
Mr.. Pearson's manners are intensely
earnest, and quite free from undue eX-
citement. His voice, rather unat-
tractiYe at first, grows on one, ard its
softest cadence reaches the utmost
| limits of the hall.

TIE LEGISLATURE.
Editor Harris Says IT'S Personnel Has
Not Been Matched since 1868.

Not Been Matched since 1868.
Mr.. Wade Harris, editor of the
Charlotte News, has been in Raleigh
taking look at the Legislature. He
was not at all pleased with what he
saw. He says:
'sThe personnel of the Legislature
is one that has not been matched
since the days of 1868. At his back,
George French has a row of negroes,
and in front and at either side, Re
publicans and Populists. The faces
one look into are commonplace, some
of them remarkably so. The News
saw six legislators who wore no col
lars. Unkept hair and scraggy boards
show up all about and it is not un-
usual to see a brogan here and there,
resting on top of the Mahogany desks.
Then the negro officials strutting
here and there, impudent looks on
their faces and swaggery in their
manners-did we, who remember the
old time scenes of Republication, ever
think that our State would come to
this again ?"

versity, is negotiating with the super
visors of Berrien county for the pur-
chase of the old county seat grounds
and buildings for their university, and
also for land at Berrien Springs, for

cause. it is alleged, of his attacks on
corporate wealth. The new institu-
ton will begin work as soon as 1000
students are obtained. Opportunities
will be given young people to work
their way through college, in gardens,
shops and small factories. 1t is fig
ured that students can support them
selves by devoting only a few hours
each day,to manual labor. The uni
versity will ask for no gifts, and offer
no charity to worthy students" APP
plicants for admission will pay Sl0C
down and more as they are able. The
money ob aimed will be invested in
