RANSOM IS UNLUGkY.
HE WILL NOT GET HIS
SALARY.
CANNOT BE PAID UNTIL. HIS .ip-
POINTMENT IS CONFIRMED
By THE SENATE

Minister Ransom S trou 0leS
have not ceased. First his sal
ary was withheld for months,
then his appointment as minis
ter was declared illegal and the
office vacated. 1t was thought
the re-appointment by the Presi-
dent on August "a would end the
complications but there is an
other hitch i'll the matter of al
lowing ex-senator Ransom S
salary as Minister to Mexico, Mr..
Willie, the Acting Auditor of
the Treasury for the State De-
partment, having decided that
Mr.. Ransom's salary cannot be
paid until his appointment is
confirmed by the Senate. This
is unfortunate and altogether
embarrassing to the Minister,
but he will proceed to his post
in a few days, however, and trust
to Congress to make the matter
right.
The Acting Auditor based his
decision on the law, which says:
"Section I761-No money
shall be paid from the Treasury
as salary to any person appoint
ed during the recess of the Sen
ate to fill vacancy in any exist
ing office, if the vacancy existed
while the Senate was in session
and was by law required to be
filled by and with the advice of
the Senate, until such appointee
has been confirmed by the Sen
ate

ofthc Christian Religion according to
the Church of England, while freedom
of conscience was allowed to dissenters
who professed belief III God.
By act Of Legislative Assembly of the
Province, in 1901, the Parish of st.
Paul, in Chowan precinct, was estab-
lished, and twelve men were named to
Serve as its Vestry. These met and
qualified On December 10TH, 1901. The
minute book of their proceedings IS
now in possession of their successors
in Office; it shows that the present build
ing is the third i'll order of erection for
the Parish, the first "twenty- feet
long, with posts III the ground, having
been put up in 1902, and the second
"forty feet long and twenty-four feet
wide" in 1903, both of wood.

with ivy green, its spire lifting the

has charmed many a visitor and solaced

spend their days in Edenton.

ST. PAUL'S CHURCH.
TIL: REV. ROBERT BRENT DRANE, d. D.,
RECTOR.

One of the oldest organizations i'll
North Catolina is ST. Pau1's Parish, a
picture of whose church is given here
with.
The Parish was organized in the year
1901, and the present very substantial
brick building was begun about the
year 1886, and finished sometime before
'76. Such work is seldom done in these
days; the thickness of the side walls is
twenty eight inches, and of the tower
walls thirty six inches; the brick is of
better quality than that made now i'll
this neighborhood. 1t is said that the
bricks were imported from the Old
Country. It is thus one OF the Colo
NAL Churches,' i. T. one Of those built
while this country was yet (; Colony Or
dependency of England.
The English government acquired its
claim to this part of the new world by
the discovery of Roanoke Island, on
our coast, and its occupancy in 1854 by
AmadaS and BarlOWc, in the name OF
their Queen. In all tie proposals for
settlement Of the country the right of
the English Crown to it was acknowl-
edged and in the various charters grant
ed to intending settlers one of the pur
poses had i'll view was stated to be the
extension of Christ's Kingdom, the
spread of the Gospel.
The administration of Holy Baptism
TO Manteo, a cllieftain of the Indians,
August 18th. 1887, and to Virginia Dare,
the first child of white parents, week
later, is evidence that the carly English
paid same respect to the ordinances of
religion.
