A special TO the Savannah
News states that the falling off
in the vote in Florida last week
was due to the operations of
the Australian ballot law. In
the county in which Jackson
vile is situated it is said that
fully twenty per cent. of those
who entered the polling booths
failed to vote, for the reason that
they were unable to prepare
their ballots properly.

ELIZABETH CITY, Oct. 10th, 1896.
THE UPRISING OF tn E
PEOPLE.

Never in the history Of our
country has there been SO desper-
ate a political struggle as IS now
in the fury of conflict. For a
whole generation the money
power has been quietly and Sc
cretly getting a death grip on
the legislation of the land and.
the industries Of the people. All
legislation for thirty years has
been on the side of trusts, cor>
porations and syndicates. These
have increased in wealth to a
degree beyond all PARALLEL in
history, even during wars Of
determination and plumber. At
the same time the people, how
ever sober, industrious and eco
nomical have grown poorer and
harder pressed to keep the wolf
from the door. An army of one
million unemployed men and
women testify that the times are
out of joint.
Chauncey Depew said the
other day that there were htty
men in New York who, because
of their money, could in twenty
four hours stop every railroad
train, street car, steamboat, coal
mine, oil we'll, telegraph mes,
sage, express line, close every
bank, stop every factory; III
short, these fifty money kings
could rule or ruin the countrp il
they were SO disposed. Ifthis be
true, our ship of state has drifted
very near the rocks OF destruction
aud the destruction would be
none the less terrible because the
rocks are gold.
The coercion now being
brought to bear On all voters EN-
ployed by the money power is
the most astounding revelation
ever made among a free people.
This alnpaign has shown the
| impudence OF wealth that has
been buying and bribing its way
to special favors. Since William
J. Bryan has torn the mask of
this robber of the people, il
stands like a desperate highway
man fighting with the despera>
ton of dispair. Hence railroads
and banks, factories and mills
are using all their power to sur
press the uprising of All awaken>
ed people.
We have faith in the honesty
and the courage of the people tc
cast their votes to overthrow the
plutocracy.
Thousands of honest men will
have to cast secret ballot. But
it is alright to fight such a foe
from ambush. The system OIL
voting ill almost every State fur
nishes ample protection for the
voter to keep his choice secret
so that the thousands who have
to wear Mckinley buttons car
cast Bryan ballots. The very
fact that duplicity becomes nee
essary III this free country to pre-
tect one from the prosecutions Of
the Mckinley money power, is
the strongest possible reason fol
voting for Bryan. There is 6
mighty ground swell among tie
farmers in the country and the
laboring classes in the city. They
seem determined OH the 5rd OF
November to break the golden
chains that bind them and their
| posterity to perpetual poverty.

dence, however, in men who

this sort of thing seems to us to
be harmful to religion and of no

course the Lord let Peter go on
with his prayer meeting poll
tics; but when he got ready to
call an apostle he came down in
flaming fire and called Paul.
That was the last time Peter
ever went into prayer meeting

be good for other preachers to
profit by.

THE NEW PRESIDENT.

In educational circles 1t is recognized
that the success of an institution de-
ponds largely upon the character and
capabilities of the president of the
school. A strong, intellectual man
'impresses those with whom he comes
in contact, especially nthe class room,
creating in these a thirst for intellec-
tual advancement, and encouraging
them to put forth their best efforts in
the accomplishment of this end. The
parent, who desires that his daughter
NAV secure the very best EDUCATION.
must consider this fact. These things
should govern the officers of the col
lege in the selection of the proper man
TO I'll the.position as president.

upon their wisdom and success in
securing Prof. W. II. Morton in this
capacity. 1t is with pleasure that IN

BACCALAUREATE SERMON.

The exercises proper looking to CON-
the b-accalaureate sermon by that dis
tinguished Presbyterian minister, the
Rev. DR.. John F. Cannon, OF Grand
Avenue church, St. Louis, hIo. The
music on this occasion was very fine.
After songs by the quartette, Misses
Graham and Ryland and Messrs.
Walton and Gunlack, Il solo by Miss
Graham, and a prayer service led by
Rev. A. r, Farris and Rev. IL. b..
Banks, Rev. Mr.. Moffett introduced
DIR. Cannon, who took his text from
the 18th verse of the 4th chapter of
Paul's first epIstle to Timothy.
DR.. Cannon's sermon was, indeed,
appropriate and interested the young
ladies as well as the large congregation
present. The subject was ''Reading."
lie began by n%arrating the story that
when Gutenberg was about completing
the printing press 10 had a dream
that 1t would be a great power for
evil, and became so discouraged that
he came near not completing it. Bat
in a second dream he was told that it
would also be a great power for good
as well as a power for evil. Il can
not vouch for the story said the
preacher, ''but the latter part of il has
been realized" He said there was no
instrument more potential than the
printing press, in whatever field, good
or bad, it was used. The gigantic
struggle of the age is between truth
and error, yet he did not think we
fully appreciated the struggle as it was
carried on. He traced the influence of
one good book in a beautiful illustra-
ton, and showed how it had converted
world, whose influence on humanity
would never die The bad book was
potential because tie seed it sOwed
fell on congenial ground.
He quoted Anthony COmstock, who
said thai more vice resulted from bad
reading than from all the other evils.
He admonIshed the young ladies to
make an iIOn-clad rule to read no book
thai was immoral IN its nature OF evil
IN its tendencies. lie did not think it
was essential that they keep up with
the new books, but would not discOur-
age entirely the reading of fiction.
Let the amount of fiction you read
compare with solid reading as the
sauces and sweets of q meal compare
with the substantial food. He urged
the young ladies to read history, and
especially biography. lie entered a
strong plea Tor those books which tell
of Gods work in the world, and said
that history was but the unfolding of
plans.
Dir. Cannon closed his eloquent
sermon hy srging tho reading of the
Bible, which was as to other books as
the sun is to the other laminaries of
.paVen

1t would ideed require the pen of a
ready writer to give IN a fitting manner
an idea of the benevolence and wisdom
mad manifest in the work of one who,
impressed with the Importance of doing
something for mankind, has offered
means by which every interest in con-
nection with human life is built up,
strengthened and made to serve mans
well-beIng, usefulness and happiness.
Realizing, in the truest sense, that
education, including moral, mental aud
physical training, was necessary To the

Elizabeth Aull founded the institution

the name of Elizabeth Aull was recorded

She has now taken her place among

siding in Lexington met at the resi-
dence of Mrs. 5. p. Silver. The asso-
citation was organized, and all the
graduates were asked 10 convene in
the seminary chapel on Tuesday, May
PC. Quite a number of the non-resi-
dent alumna were present at this meet
ing, and it was indeed IA most pleasant
reunion. The following officers were
chosen: Mrs. Maria Aull Silver, presi-
dent; Miss Catherine Fulkerson, first
vice-president: Mrs. Ella James New
conner, second vice-president; Miss
Belle Frazer, third vice-president; Miss
May Shidy, recording secretary; Miss
Rebekah Field, corresponding secre-
tary; Miss Stella Ryland, treasurer.
Plans for the work of next year were
suggested, but no definite arrangements
were made.
The standing and prominence of
Elizabeth Aull Seminary are such as to
the support of all who feel an
interest in its welfare. Now that the
seminary is taking on new strength
and energy, and n bright future is indi-
Gated, the Alumne should lend strong
support towards promoting the welfare
of the school.

Stella Byland. 1t is moi uncompli-
mentary to the other members of the
programme to to say that this number
was the best. Niles Stella Ry land has
won honors upon many occasions, but
she never appeared at better advantage
than when singing THE Holy City,
at this entertainment. Miss Ryland
though devoting herself largely to
literary work is one of the finest
vOcalists in Lexington. She has Il
beautiful voice. 1t is clear and strong
and she controls it with skill. The
encore she received from the audience
was generous.

Boieldieu O770-1S34) A fragment

well executed.

HOME LIFE AT f. A. S.

Everyone recognizes the truism, that
upon the home life the character of the
coming man or ON largely depends
that from a refined, Christian home,
strong, happy, useful lives may come,
whose work it shall be to beautify and
elevate those with whom they may be
associated.
This home idea prevailed in the
founding of this school for girls, and
las Influenced the management during
each succeeding year.
In construction, the Seminary is an
old family residence, with spacious
halls, large, well ventilated, well light
ed, nicely furnished rooms.
The house Is surrounded by a large
and rbeaptiful lawn, which affords
ample space for open air recreation,
and such outdoor diversions as may
lind favor among the students.
Within, the air of comfort, the
cheerful mein, and freedom from all
undue restraint, gives one the impress
SION, Of being among the members of a
happy, ho3pitable family, where each
seeks the others comfort, and adds to
the other. Joy. But nowhere does this
appear to better advantage than in the
cheerful and. commodious dining hall,
where every surrounding combines to

Virginia Democratic.

The Virginia State convention TO
elect delegates to Chicago was held
Thursday and here is a part of the
platform:
ave are for sound money, the sound
est the world has ever had or can have.
This sound money should consist of
silver and of paper redeemable in silver
or gold at the option of the maker, the
units of the whole mass to be kept at
parity by coinage rights and equal legal
tender functions, the only method by
which the parity of the two metals has
been continuously and successfully
maintained"
ssThe immediate and complete res
toration of the bImettallic system OF
money which existed in the United
States from 1898 to 1873 is, in our
opinion, demanded by the interests of
commerce, manufactures and agricult-
ure, which are alike suffering from a
continuous fall of prices and The conse-
quent embarrassment or bankruptcy OF
those engaged therein. And in order
to restore it, we demand the free and
unlimited coinage of silver and gold at
the ratio of 10 to l, without waiting
for the assent or concurrence of any
other nation.
ave hereby instruct all the delegates
from Virginia to the national Demo-
cratic convention to vote for a platform
declaring for the free and unlimited
coinage of silver and gold at the ratio of
I6 to l, and for candidates for president
who openly advocate that principle"
