In Society.

The reception given the Nine teenth Century Club last Friday night at the lovely home of Dr. and Mrs. w.. II. Alley, was largely attended, and was most enjoyable and appropriate ushering in of the New Years society doings.
 Some thirty guests were present, and the sunny smiles from the genial face of the jolly host illumined the softly lighted parlors, and the good cheer and beaming welcome of the winsome host ess, assisted by her affable and charm ing sister, Miss Anna Lee CObbs, made the company gay and gladsome. Merry lconyersation, iuterspersed with sweet strains of music from the Faithful Old Orchestra" aud songs from others present. passed the hours delightfully."- and rapidly away.
 At II o'clock beautiful collation.. consisting of turkey, sundry salads, sauce. cakes. fruits, cOnfections, Salted almonds, celery, etc.. etc., in great pro- fusion, was served in the artistically ilumined dining room, and in very clever manner. The table and room
 was beautifully decorated, and the crepe tissue paper shade reflected azure blue on all around. Much credit is due to the taste and talents of the hos pitable little housekeeper, and her easy and graceful mein was communi- cated to the guests, making all feel at cease, and enjoy themselves to the ut Emost, until time to go home," when the guests departed, and with unfeign- ed gratitude expressed their apprecia- tion of a social treat that was delight ful to experience and pleasant to re- member.

DEAR ARGUS:-After days
and weeks of hot dry weather,
Autumn steps in cold and frosty.
Our farmers have taken advan-
tage of the recent clear weather
and have saved more hay than
usual, most of which is in good
condition.
Mr., Lindsay, of Princeton, is
teaching vocal music to a class
of about twenty, On Wednesday
and Thursdays of each week.
They all seem to enjoy it.
Our school at Woodland is ex-
pected to begin on Monoay next
and afull attendance is expected.
Rev. James a. Gilbreth, a
minister of Friends church.
closed a series of meetings at
Woodland September 22ud. The
sound teachings and earnest APP
peals will surely have it's effect.
He was assisted by his son who
recently professed religion near
Greensboro.
The potato crop seems to be
rather poor this season.
The health of the community
is good.

REV. MIR. CAKES.
This City Sunday to Large and
Appreciative Audiences.

AS announced in Saturday S
ARGUS The Rev. E. W. Cakes
preached in the Presby terian
church on Sabbath morning to a
large and appreciative congrega-
ton, His text was, Isiah xxxiii:
1917: He shall dwell on high:
his place of defence shall be the
munitions OF rocks; bread shall
be given him; his water shall he
sure Their eyes shall see the
King in his beauty; they shall
behold the land that is very far
off," Aud his treatment of this
wonderful promise was rich with
the unfoidings of the infinite
treasures of Gods grace, and
comforting with the strong
assurances of the believers
privileges and security. In the
evening he preached in st, Panl's
M E. Church, when the Pres
byterian congregation united in
the services. The church was
filed with an audience that lis
tened with profound attention to
an exceedingly comforting dis
course to all perplexed and
troubled hearts. The text was
the words Of our Lord as re
corded in John xiv:1-2.
At the close of both services,
a large number Of friends gath
cred around Mr.. Cakes and
gave him a warm welcome, and
Who most cordially wished him
great comfort and success in the
Masters work.
1t is hoped by many that
arrangements may be made to
have him return ere long to con-
duct a series of meetings.

The treasury statement of re-
ceipts and expenditures 20 be is
sued tomorrow will show a sur.
plus for the month of September

that it is reported in Biuefields
that the Southern Pacific Rail-
way company will discontinue
running its vessels of tie Nor

New Orleans and Bluefelds. The
reason assigned for this action
are the low price Of bananas and
the difficulty of competing with
vessels owned by Norwegians
and manned by the poorly paid
sailors of that nation.

that there could be no rise of cot
ton until silver rose, and that
silver could not rise until we
had free and unlimited coinage
These wise men now stand non
plused, for cotton has gone up
and is steadily advancing and
bar silver is quoted lower
than it was when cotton was
five cents. The least logical
mind must recognize from these
facts that silver does not regu>
late the price of cotton, yet it
may be that there will still be
silver men who will find a way
to make their theory fit
THE death of Mrs. B. B.
Thompson, the estimable wife of
our good friend Mr.. Bright
Thompson, and daughter of Mr..
James H. Johnson, of the
Thompson Chapel section of the
county, occurred at their home
in Fork township last Thursday
after a brief illness, in the
3oth year of her age. She was
an exemplary christian woman,
and leaves a husband and five
children, a wide circle of rela-
tives and many friends to mourn
her untimely death. The fune-
raj took place on Friday and
the interment was made in the
old family burying ground at
Thompson's Chapel.

For Cuban Independence.

Chicago, Sept. 3O.-Surround-
ed by patriotic notices. with the
American feg as a background,
the Declaration of independence
as a text book, and the spirit of
liberty as an inspiration, 1000
persons yelled themselves hoarse
tonight in the cause of Cuban
independence. There could scar
cely have been more enthusiasm
had the meeting been held i'll
Cuba itself.
Central Music hall was not
big enough to hold all the SYM
pathizers and there was an over
flow meeting in the auditorium of
the Young Mems Christian asso-
citation building.
At both meetings. the same
resolutions were adopted and
speeches were made by men
prominent in civic affairs. all of
whom uncompromisingly favored
the freedom of the little island
in the thraldom of Spain. The
resolutions express sympathy
for the revolutionists, call upon
the United States to recognize
them as belligerents and ask
other countries to join in making
this demand. They began with
the best known paragraph in the
Declaration of independence and
end with a determination to con-
tinue the work begun at times by
two assemblages. Some of the
notices on the walls were:
II know not what course
others may take, but as for ne,
give me liberty, or give me
death."-Patrick Henry.
When a long train of abuses
and usurpations evinces a de-
sign to reduce the people under
absolute despotism. it is their
right-it is their duty to throw
off such Goverument."-Declara
ton of independence.
Messages of sympathy were
read from Senator Cullom. Gov
ernor Altgeld. of Illinois, Rus
sell A. Alger, Mayor Pingree Of
Detroit, Senator Call of Florida,
Mayor Bostwick of Jacksonville,
Fla. Mayor Caldwell of Cincin :
natl, Mayor Salmonson of Tampa,
Fla, and others. Nearly every
prominent club and organization
in the city was represented on
the list of vice-presidenIs, which
included also the best known
business and professional men.
Among the associations repre-
scented we're the Royal Legion.
! Grand Army CT the Republic,
Confederate associations, Sons
of the Revolution, State Fedora
ton of Labor, Irish American,
Scandinavian, German and Afro
American societies.

Cracking Idols.
TOBACCO:

Charles Francis Adams has
! just said in a formal interview:
L don't like men who talk for
two hours on one subject and I
don't like men who are elo-
quent."
Can we permit our idols to be
thus buffeted? Who is great and
able and all that sort of thing,
unless it be the man who knows
SO much that he can talk for any
number Of hours on one subject
and engage our feelings with
words Of dramatic and poetic
forces?
And yet, after we count up,
there is found a sadly small pro
portion Of results In the wake of
our two hour takers. In the
Congress of the United States
not a vote has been changed in
the time we designate as ''since
the War" by the thousands of
hours devoted to speeches
Civilization. makes time pre-
cious. Action takes the place of
talk. The man who knows
enough to point out in ten min
utes a curse of action knows
vastly more than he who takes
two hours for proving tha5 his
mind is not clear.
Fluency IS often but a SUBJ
sJitute for direct perceptions and
exact knowledge. Atalking soldier
is a suspicious character. A gar
rulous banker does not impress
customers.
1t is possible that as the law
yer who astouished a more igno-
rant generation by making four
day speeches has gone down be-
fore the better trained competi
tor who marshals evidence and
concentrates argument, SO the
people will perceive that the
statesman who is seer making
two-hour speeches will be sus
pected Of missing the important
duties for which a public servant
is responsible.
Once the orator taught. He
teaches nothing now. 1t is still
supposed that he persuades and
defends and attacks and strikes
keynotes. Mr.. Adams, in per-
emptorily denying that the two
hour talker does anything good,
goes to the extreme, but he GER
tainly speaks for a tendency.
The world is losing interest in
talk and getting up lots of inter
est in deeds. The statesman of
the future will command himself
accordingly.

We learn that last Tuesday,

at the hogs and accidently struck
her on the head, inficting a pain
full wound, but not serious, we
are glad to learn.
Rev. F. w. FAIRIES, of your
city, preached a strong. able and
very impressive sermon here
Sunday evening, and, as have
Oo0H dill his former sermons
here, it was we'll received. He
took for his text, For bodily
exercise profteth little, but god
illness is profitable unto all
things" and for the space of
about hour, he held the
closest attention of the congre-

eloquent and beautiful language
why goodness is profitable He

The Exposition Grounds to be Closed
Sundays.

Liz LAp . Jul 10 DC ClOSSO
Sundays.
Atlanta, Sept. 3O.-The ques-
ton of Sunday opening was
settled by an overwhelming vote
at the directors meeting on the
exposition grounds this after
noon. There was a very full
meeting of the board, and Mr.
Cabaniss, manager of the Atlanta
Journal, moved that the grounds
be opened and the Midway closed
on Sundays. Mr.. Howard Pal
mer, ex-dlrector general, moved
that the grounds he closed on
Sundays and that this action be
speedily published. Capt. J. w.
English. chairman of the execu-
tive committee, moved as a sub
stitue that the whole matter be
laid Oh the table. The motion to
lay it on the table was adopted by
an overwhelming vote.
At this juncture DR.. r. D.
Spaulding arose and read the fol-
lowing extract from the rules
and regulations adopted by the
exposition some months ago:
THE exposition shall be open.
ed for the admission of visitors
on the 18th day of September
and closed on the 31st day of De-
cember, 1895. On each day of
week, except Sundays, the gates
shall be open to exhibitors and
all employees at 6 o'clock a. m.
and to the public at 8 o'clock a. N.
close at 10 o'clock p. NJ, except
in special cases."
The reading of this rule was
applauded and it is considered
that this will settle the question.
The vote to lay Mr.. Cabaniss'
motion on the table had been so
overwhelming that it is not be-
lieved any further attempt will
be made to open the exposition
grounds on Sunday.
