He stood there brave man and spoke the truth in utter defiance of that grand and magnificent tribunal, and when the royal decree was pronounced that he should not again speak in the name of the Lord Jesus, he looked calmly into the faces of the judges and replied: "Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than God, judge ye, for we cannot but speak the things we have seen and heard ,
 SAVE THE WORLD.
 Does it not occur to our public off cers and servants that the mission of Christ was to save the world and not to destroy it? The mission of our law makers is identieally the same.
 Our public officers are called upon to help save the world by justly pun ishing the guilty and defending the offended.
 You men who sought the office, enforce the law.
 You men who sought the conf dence of Gods own people, enforce the law.
 You men who held forth your hand and begged to be given the scepter of power and authority, and promised, under your oath, to God and his people, whose honor and confidence you secured, that you would always at all times, sway it in the direction of right and justice, do your duty and enforce the law.
 PROTECT SOCIETY.
 Why allow society to reap the fearful consequences Of the criminal negligence of the men who have sworn to protect her from eommuni- eating sources of vice, crime, misery, degradation, disease and death.
 Let us cease to cheat justice Let HIS measure out according to the law the punishment justly merited by | liOoO $ SublS LII Ci1itiG ollu It's cO0St- quences, By so doing you will bless our community by setting forth an example and danger-light of warn ing to the lawless.
 The pure in heart Christian, the law-abiding citizen, our boys and our girls shall go forth fearless and unmolested by the clamor and stench of vice and crime The God of America shall be honored and glori- fled, and we shall be as a city set on a hill, whose light for right and jus tice cannot be hid.
 The outside world shall each the beautiful rays and illumination oi the blessings and welcome that awaits ail of Gods noble men and women who would seek q home among us.

WEATHER REPORT.
The Drought Has Given Cotton Black Eye.-Rain Needed In All Parts
 of the state.

l
 LITTLE ROCK, ARK, Sept. 24:-The temperature during the past week has averaged ' degrees above the normal. During the first six days the excess averaged about 10 degrees per day, but the cool wave that covered the State on the 23d, of which timely warning was given, reduced the average to the above 1 figures.
 The precipitation was below the average and very unevenly distrib- uted. The following amounts are reported for the week ending a. m September g; Brinkley, 0.32; For rest City, 0.0S; Fort Smith, trace; Helena, 0.00; Little Rock, 009; Malvern, 0.19; Newport, 6.62; Pine Bluff, 0.30; Prescott, 0.30; Russeville, GOO; Texarkana, 000; Warren, 006.
 The excessive temperature and abundant sunshine, together with a lack of moisture, has caused cot ton to open very rapidly, but has delayed picking. The condition of the crop has deteriorated somewhat owing to shedding of the top crop and premature opening, but there is no marked falling off in condition during the week. With cooler weather the crop will be picked rap l
 idly; in some localities correspond ents state that with favorable weather picking will be completed by November 1.
 Corn is being gathered and is not quite up to expectations, though the crop is a good one.
 Potatoes, turnips land fall gardens much injured by drought and ill localities are reported ruined.
 Pastures are failing in some local ities and stock water becoming scarce. Tn general stock are ill fair condition. Rain needed for late crops and to permit of stubble- breaking and fall blowing.
 SOUTHEAST SECTION.
 Hot and dry weather continued up to Monday. Cotton opening very l fast, but the weather has been so hot as to prevent picking to q great extent. Considerable complaint of shedding of the top crop and dam age by premature opening. Some correspondents report most cf the cotton ready to pick in their neigh borhoods, but little Of the top crop left on the plant. The cool weather of the next few days will permit of considerable progress in cotton picking.
 Corn is already to gather, the crop in general is a very good one, in localities, however, the last plant ing is reported light and chafty. Sufficient corn for home consump- ton has been made in all localities.
 The continued drought and hot weather has proved very injurious to late potatoes and fall gardens. | Very few turnips have been sown and they have Hailed to sprout. Sugar cane is also needing moisture.
 Sorghum is 8 fine crop and is be- ing made into an excellent quality Of molasses. Mast is abundant and stock in good condition. Pastures continue fair, but stock water is be- coming scarce in localities.

MnnI TO RccOVcr.

Receivers OF pOttSNllIc iron tOhnpuHy
Want TO Recover.
John A. Mears and the receivers OF
the Pottsville Iron company have been
unable to come to an understanding
about the iron furnished for Mr.. Mears
new building now in course of erection
at the corner of Washington avenue
and Spruce street. AS u result of the
present difficulty Receivers William
Atkins and S. b. Briscoe, through At
torney S. b. Price, have begun action
to recover $4,000.
The iron frame of the building was TO
have been finished last September, but
only two stories have been erected and
Mr.. Mears' contends that, aside from
the delay, he has been put to great ex-
pense by the unworkmanlike manner In
which the iron was fitted and Joined.
He says that the line OF posts at the
northwest corner is IA inches out of
plumb at the bottom, that many Of the
beams are too short and that the iron
rods are not according to specification.
Several days ago he offered the re-
ceivers $4,000 to withdraw from the con-
tract The receivers wanted $4,000
and no agreement was reached.
Mr.. MearS has solicited bids from
other companies and proposes to go
on with the work irrespective OF the
Pottsville contract, which he claims has
been made void by the company's tardl-
ness and lax workmanship.
