ONE MANS HARD LUCK.

One of the most remarkable expert
ences that it was ever the lot Of man to
pass through has lately fallen to Lewis
Capella, of st, Augustine.
His trials and tribulations, enough Of
which could be written to fill % cent
novel, commenced several months ago,
when, getting rather tired of the life he
wes living with his wife, and falling in
love with another lady, Miss ROLES
ton, he applied for and obtained di-
vorce.
At the time he was through the
proceedings necessary to obtain di-
vorce he was making violent love to
the lady whom he had chosen to be his
second wife, and arrangements had
been made whereby the wedding might
take place.
On the days that Lewis did not call
on his lady love his brother Emanuel
did, and, with the lady's consent, laid
counter plot. The consequence was
that when Lewis had obtained his di-
vorce and was ready to ''love, honor,
and obey the second lady, he found
that she had gone of with Emanuel.
Time heals everything, however, and
Lewis not only recovered from the ef-
fects of his brothers rascality, but also
became reconciled TO his divorced wife,
and for some time they lived happily
together.
This state of affairs lasted until
brother John put in his appearance and
eloped with Lewis's divorced wife. This
happened on the thirteenth day of
last month, and Lewis has been
single and sorrowiul ever since, for
brother John not only ran away with
the reconciled wife, but even took the
baby, the only child, too.
Lewis is disgusted with the whole
affair, and says he will change his
name, for he does not want anything to
do with family that treated him 20
badly, but he will also have to change
his place of residence now, for some
body set fire to his house Tuesday night
and it was totally destroyed, and Lewis
barely escaped with his life. Whether
it was maliciously set fire to or whether
it was an accident has not yet trans
pired; but the fact remains. and the un-
fortunate mau. besides being child]ess
aud wifeless, is now homeless. One
consolation remains, and that is that the
property was insured and Lewis will be
able to start again.

1T is SELF EVIDENT.

This weeks Caucasian says that while
Democratic papers have denounced the
statement of Cyrus Thompson, viz: 'the
church to day stands where it has always
stood-on the side of human slavery
and not on the side of liberty" that
"not in one single instance has any
Democratic paper attempted to prove
that the statement is false"
The NEWS AND OBSERVER, has not
believed it necessary to prove what is
self evident to all men who believe in
the Christian religion. We would as
soon think of setting up to prove, by
long course of logical reasoning, that two
and two make four.
But if the Caucasian wants proof, it
can easily be obtained, and from
source that will be accepted. Yester-
days Biblical Recorder says:
The following are said to be the words
of DR.. Cyrus Thompson at the recent
meeting of the Farmers Alliance at
Cary: 1.-THE church to day stands where
it has always stood-on the side of hu-
man slavery, and not on the side of lib
erty. / thank God that even the pulpit
is learning that we must live now as
hereafter" If DIR. Thompson said this,
he is too poorly informed, too quick to
speak, too reckless of statement, not to
say too ungodly, to lead any respectable
body of men. The statement is not true.
We can speak for the Baptist church,
and we are prepared to show that it is
the strongest friend and the greatest ad-
vocate of freedom.

UNFAIR RULINGS.

AT this distance it appears that the
rulings of the judges at Belmont race
track yesterday were very unfair, and
the judges threat to punish McHenry
for not pacing so valuable horse as
Gentry to death, after he had won the
race twice, seems to us gross injustice.
Mr. L. Banks Holt, the owner of
Gentry, has alluded, in a recent inter
view, to the features of the grand cir
cult meetings that were distasteful to
him, and stated that the final out
come would probably be the with
drawal of both Gentry and Baronet.
This would mean the withdrawal of
the chief attractions of the American
turf. But it would mean North Caro-
lima breeding establishment, headed by
two of the finest stations in the world.

DEATH OF CAPT. A. I'll. A.
WILLIAMS.

CAPT. ARCHIBALD HENDERSON AIRING.
TON WILLIAMS, who died at Chase City,
Va, last night, was born in Nash county
about fifty years ago and was one of a
large family. His brothers were Col Henry
G. Williams, the Assistant Superintendent
of the U. S. House Document Rooms, the
late Capt. Sam. Williams, former editor of
the Raleigh News, the late Col Sol vii,
liams, who was killed at the battle of Get
tysburg; and Capt John Williams, of Ok
ford, all of whom achieved popularity
and success.
Capt. Williams was for many years
one of the leading spirits Of Oxford; was
President of the oxford and Henderson
railroad which was built by company
of which he was the head; and was
progressive and prosperous citizen. In
1885 he represented Granville in the
North Carolina House of Representa-
tives, and in 1890 was nominated
and elected to Congress from the
Fifth District. In 1892 he was
renominated, but Hon. Thomas Set
tie received the certificate, though
Capt. Williams contested the seat, claim
ing that he was legally elected. The
contested case was never passed upon by
Congress, and Mr.. Settle held the seat.
At the conclusion of this contest, Capt.
Williams returned home utterly broken
in health, and it was soon apparent to
his family and friends that his days were
numbered.
Capt Williams was born politician,
coming of family of politicians, having
been trained in the school of which the
late Badly Arlington, as he was famil-
iarly known, was the chief leader and
teacher. He was brave soldier, a use
full and public spirited citizen in peace,
a genial gentleman, true friend, and a
life long Democrat. His death will be
widely deplored.

UNION BETWEEN CHURCH AND
STATE.

The Charlotte News, in reporting the
proceedings of the Board of Aldermen,
uses these words:
Secretary Mehan wanted an order
passed requiring the members of the
police force to attend the Y. M. O. A.
lectures on First Aid to the Injured.
The officers were allowed to attend
should they so desire"
We hope there is some mistake in this
report, and that Secretary Mehan did
not want the board to require" police
men to attend the Y. M. @. A. If so,
he has failed to understand tine relation
ship between church and State in
America, and ought 10 be given a tract
on the total separation of church and
State.

THE COTTON FACTORY EDITION.

When the late Edwin NJ. Holt built
the old Alamance cotton mill on old
Alamance creek in Alamance county in
1887 and placed in it 1900 spindles and
a dozen looms and made the first yard of
the now famous Alau,ance plaids, which,
by the way was the first yard Of colored
goods woven in cotton mill south of
Mason and Dixon's line, he did not
dream that within half century
North Carolina would be dotted over
with cotton factories and over a
quarter of million bales of her product
spun in her own factories, but it is so.
Early in October the NEWS AND OBJ
SERVER will print a cotton mill edition
which will be complete and comprehen-
sive history of the cotton manufacturing
interest in North Carolina, the facts to
be obtained from the mill owners
and managers by well equipped mem
bers of its staff who will visit
the different mills and carefully col
lect them. The edition will contain
summary of the condition of all the
mills.in the State, together with the total
number of spindles, looms, operatives
employed, kind of power used, amount
of cotton consumed per annum, amount
of money invested in the manufacture of
cotton, number of men interested
in the management and ownership of
cotton factories, with interesting sketches
of the different enterprises in detail. The
paper will be profusely illustrated with
mill scenes, water powers, views of
factories, portraits of factory of
Gals, and other prominent persons
who have made and are now
making this the most potent and power
full factor in the States industrial up
building.
The cotton factory industry in North
Carolina is great, greater than nine
tenths of our own people imagine. The
men who are engaged in this industry are
also great. They are making
into profitable marketable fabrics
oar greatest product. They are giving
profitable employment to thousands of
our working people and building up in
dustrial centres in all sections Of the
State. They are rapidly moving the
cotton factory to the cotton field
and making the Southland a
land of profit and power. 1t
is to these men that this edition will
be dedicated, and it is our purpose to
make this paper fitting tribute to their
industrial wisdom, energy and success.
During the past three weeks, our Mr..
F. B. Arendell, who is most congenially
when writing of the industrial
of the State, has been visiting
the mills in Alamance, Randolph,
Cabarrus, Mecklenburg, Richmond,
Rowan, CASTOR, Cumberland, Guilford,
and other counties, talking with the mill
managers, and the hearty cooperation
manifested in the proposed cotton fac
tory edition by the owners of nearly one
hundred mills makes it certain that this
will be the greatest industrial paper ever
printed in North Carolina.

WE LEAD THE SOUTH.

"Go up head"
That was the command North Caro-
lima heard from the industrial leaders
twenty years ago when they observed
that no State equaled her in facilities
for the successful manufacture of cotton.
The command was obeyed, and to day
North Carolina is recognized as the lead
ing Southern State in the manufacture
of cotton goods, having more factories,
more looms and more spindles, and con-
Stunning more cotton than any of her sis
ter States.
Much qualification has been expressed
at the reception of the telegram, pub
lished yesterday, to the Governor from
Henry G. Hester, Secretary of the New
Orleans Cotton Exchange, congratulating
the State upon practically doubling her
cotton manufactures within the past five
years. ''By actual census of mills,
North Carolina has consumed tele-
graphed Mr.. Hester, "of this years crop
227,0 900 bales, an increase of $4,000
over last year. She has new
spindles which may be brought into
play in 1896 go, which, with fair trade
conditions, should increase her total to
at least $500 In 1890 North Caro-
lima consumed 1000 bales. So your
State has practically doubled her cotton
manufactures within the past five years. +"
This outside expert testimony graft
fies the people of North Carolina and
establishes our claim to primacy.
