people are experts in the usual line as
canvassers but it has been reserved
for their Religious Service committee
of II young men to conduct the latest
novelty in that line, and it has been
remarkably successful, too.
Some time ago they met as usual to
consider plans for the Detterment of
their Sunday Gospel meeting, which
is always an interesting service. But
although so or more men would come
out to take. part the question was
raised as to where the other $50 MEM
bers and the scores of outside young
men in town kept themselves.
The proposition to find out took
shape in the arranging ofothe lists of
names of all the members so each
man on the committee could work one,
and they have met several times since
in the Rooms to make reports and to
compare notes.
One disclosure is the fact that many
of our Winston-Salem young ladies
must keep regular "open house" hours
for gentlemen callers on Sunday af-
ternoons, for many of the boys are re-
ported as saying they use the time to
call on the girls. The exact words

being reported, much amusement is
afforded as the record of their pro-
fessed whereabouts is made up.
One good effect is that many of the
members have turned oyer new leaf
and begin to come out to the after

there has been any departure from

never struck blow at silver, but it
was through the representative of
the Democratic party that silver was
reinstated to it's present status after

Monday was celebrated in the
Home Moravian Church as special
day of prayer for the children of the
congregation.
On Saturday evening at four O'Clock
the first preparatory meeting was
held to close the church year of the
children of the congregation. Sunday
morning the little folks gathered
again in the renovated sanctuary and
Bishop Rondthaler in his happy man
ner addressed them, giving them
the new children's year.
At three o'clock all the children Of
the congregation, even the very little
babies gathered for their annual love
feast. 1t is very pleasing sight to
witness the gathering of young peo-
pie, and several hundred of the pa
rents and friends were present to par
ticipate. The evening service was
largely attended.
The services were arranged to suit
the needs of the little ones, the music
bright and cheerful and the singing
of the children especially hearty and
interesting. At the conclusion of the
services in the church in the evening
the entire congregation gathered on
the plaza or open space in front of the
church where the services were
brought to close with singing and
praise. Many hundreds were present,
and this open air service was very
pleasing one.
In order to make the scene particu-
larly bright and attractive, friends
under the direction of Mr.. B. J. .Pfohl
had made festoOns of japanese Ian
terms which were hung from the
church roof across to the adjoining
building. One immense frame hold
ing scores of these beautiful lanterns
covered the entire large front of the
church, while the Steeple was illumi-
mated wish many electric lights. Mu-
SicianS discourSed music from the Stee-
pie while the congregation was coming
from the church, also while they were
disposing at the close of the service.
We cannot but comment on the
splendid order preserved during the
exercises. On several occasions
in the past we have noted a growing
tendency to thoughtless disturbances
on the outer edge of the company;
few policemen here and there abolish
ed that entirely, and it is pleasure
to note how perfectly the municipal
authorities and police in our two
towns protect all religious gatherings.
1t is not SO in every place and our
citizens ought to recognize and appre-
ciate what police and municipal Off
GERS do for the TWin-City in this re-
spect.
The day throughout was a very
happy one for young and cid in the
Moravian congregation.

Rev. Daniel A. Long, president of
Antioch College, took the train here
this morning, says the Greensboro
Record of Monday, in response to
startling intelligence just received.
Miss Grace Friedland, an assistant
professor in Antioch College, had
been conveyed by her father, an old
and wealthy farmer, to visit neigh
Dor; the old gentleman was returning
home unattended, and at certain
point on the way he was assaulted by
a colored man and choked to DEATH
The colored mao was promptly ares
ted and jailed at New Richmond, the
county seat of Claremont county. A
mob was collected quickly and in de-
fiance of every remonstrance the MUIR
derer was taken out and hanged to
the limb of a sycamore tree. This is
the second lynching of colored men
near New Richmond within the past
two years.

DR.. Hill, who recently left David
son county and went to Tennessee, is
still in the latter State. Gov. Carr
yesterday issued requisition on the
Governor of Tennessee for the young
physician, who is wanted in Walnut
Cove. The papers fled with the
Governor state that Hill seduced his
cousin under promise of marriage and
afterwards attempted to produce an
abortion and that after he thought
he had secured the destruction of let
tiers which passed between them, he
cruelty told her he would never marry
her but would marry a lady. 1t is
stated that this is one of the worst
cases ever reported to the executive.

no witness appearing against him in

JAILOR AND PRISONERS FIGHT

A Desperate Encounter at Burgayv,
Pender County.
A desperate and bloody encounter
took place last Friday evening in the
Jail at Burgaw, Pender county, be-
tween the jailor and two of his prison
erS.
Two desperadoes named Gainey,
white men, from Sampson county,
charged with robbery and house burn
given considerable trouble, making re-
peated attempts to escape, even at
empting bribery, and have sent let
tiers Surreptitiously to friends asking
their aid in efforts to break Jail. A
few nights since the jailor found
rope made of strips from a blanket
hanging down from their cell. 1t is
supposed the rope was to be used in
conveying to them some tools or
weapons by friends on the outside of
the prison.
Friday evening about sunset, the
jailor, Mr.. Van Rivenbark, carried
supper to the Gaineys. A negro boy
accompanied him, whose duty it was
to close and bolt the cello door behind
Mr.. Rivenbark as he went in; but
from some cause the door of the cell
was uOU OOIICU On bDiS OCCdSlOu. AS
soon as the jailor entered the door one
of the prisoners knocked him down
with club, and both the Gaineys
then rushed for the door to escape.
The jailor was stunned by the blow
he received, but had strength to Crap
pie with both prisoners, when des-
perate and bloody fight took place, the
GaineyS making every effort to disable
the jailor so that they could escape.
But Mr.. Rivenbark's two sons came to
his aid, and both prisoners after a Sc
we're struggle were secured.
In the battle the jailor received
some terrible wounds on the head, and
one of the prisOnsrS is in precarious
condition ftom wounds of like char
acter.
Mr.. Rivenbark has been jailor for
years. He was brave and fearless
soldier in. the Confederate army du-
ring the late war, and has ever since
been willing to take hand in fight.
The Gaineys met more than their
match when they attacked him.

will accompany Liberty Bell to the

the court refusing to grant an injunct-
ion restraining the transfer OF the
relic, met this afternoon. The sub
committee on transportation presen-
ted new itinerary to correspond with
the change in the time of departure
t. ON September 10th to October 4th =,
as agreed upon at the last meeting.
A communication was received from
Senator Butler, of North Carolina,
calling attention to the fact that the
first and last BATTLES of the revolution
were fought in North Carolina, and
suggesting that the route of the bell
be changed so that one stop be made
at Greensboro and another at Char
lotte. A letter was received from Q.
D. Flanagan, a former citizen of Phil
adelphia, now in Athens, Ga, asking
that the bell be taken to that city in
order that it could be properly re-
ceived by the people there. Both let
tiers were referred to the sub com
mittee on itinerary, with the under
standing that these points will be
taken in on the return trip from At
