Getting into hot water. In a letter to
Doo the other day he relates a funny
oTnerience he had at a hostelry in a
little town of the State. This ispart of
his wall:

sketch of the latest predicament I got
into 7 got into a little place called
Maiden, and stopped at the hotel for
dinner. They have no walters there
at least. they had none when I was
there. They may have got some since.
To tell the truth, they had a device
rugged up which dispensed with their
services. The table was round and
composed of two tries. The first, or
lower, tier was stationary, and on it
rested your plate, etc. On the upper
tier was placed the dishes, containing
the inevitable ham, the omnipresent
fried eggs, the mashed potatoes, the
turnip top lettuce @ and all the other
things which go to support life in this
Old North State. This tier is so built
that it ~revolves, so that if you want
the stewed tomatoes and they chance
to be in front of the pimply-faced fer
tilizer drummer, all you have to do is
to give a spin, and, presto, you have
the tomatoes in front of you. One
drawback to the thing is that you
have to hold it while getting the stuff
or else some fellow at the other side of
the table will spin it away from you. I
wanted some butter the day I was
there and it was half way, round from
me. An elderly lady Ct so happened,
but l did not know it, was helping
herself to the ham and had hold of the
table. I tried to spin it, but it wouldn't
move. I got mad and braced myself.

OF contemplate they are not STOPPING
In tn weaken III ranks. Their insid-

The ST. LOUIS MAN

The following resolutions by Vance

to substitute a single issue: Finance. "

Vance County Alliance at a regular
meeting held in the town of Hender-
son, N. c., on this the 18th day of
April, 1895. do
ResOIUe, That we re endorse the
st. Louis demands, and that we are
opposed to changing them in any way.
2. That we call upon all good ALI
ancemen to Q that our demands are
not compromised in any way; and
we hereby serve notice that we will not
follow the leadership Of any person
proposing to do SO.
3. That we hereby tender our thanks
to the legislature for the consideration
shown the peoples interests at its re-
cent session, especially for the law
restoring our charter.
4. That THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER,
the Caucasian, the National Watch
man and other papers friendly to the

tions.

"Sin of Society Gambling -

Birmingham, Ala, June 1G.-All
the ministers il Birmingham preach
ed to large congregations to night
on The Sin of Society Gambling"
The sermons were highly sensation
al, and have caused a great stir
among society folks who play euchre,
whist and the like. The crusade was
begun by DR.. ]. c. Morris, pastor
of the First Methodist church, the
largest and most fashionable church
in the city, who last Sunday night
severely scored society ladies who
play cards for prizes. He said If
the officers of the law would only
do their duty many Of these gam
blers would wear stripes. He was
glad to see the newspapers publish
the list of prize winners as it was q
list Of dishonor. He also scored the
bucket-shops, which caused Grove
4 Co, brokers. to take him to task
in card in the daily papers. On
Friday all the ministers met aud de-
cided to preach from DIR Morris
text to night and inaugurate a regu
lar crusade against society gambling
which is now on in earnest.

the attention Of some children vi .

The whole town was thrown into
frenzy of excitement few minutes

systematic hunt for the negro begun.

Washington Post: All the tes,i-
mony in the South Carolina contest
ed election cases was opened AZ the
office Of Clerk Kerr OF the House OF
Representatives yesterday Congress-
men elec, Elliott and McLaurin were

opponent is Joshua L. Wilson, while
the other two contested cases are

mer, and Thomas =. Johnston
against J. William Stokes. Tie
evidence in the cases is very volum-
inous, and the entire day WAS occu
pied in deciding which OF it should
be printed.
Some of the evidence is quite
amusing. Ia Mr. McLaurins dis
teict the Republican candidate was
d minister and is always referred TO
in the testimony as ''the Rev. VIII
son. In order to secure evidence
as to the operation of the registra-
tion law, the eolored people made
a list of persons who were alleged
to be at the polls. but who were not
given an opportunity TO vote. One
OF the witnesses against Mr.. Nc.

examined upon.
