Twelve Lady Candidates.

JACKSON, Miss, Jan. S.-The joint
caucus tonight for the nomination of
a State librarian, an office Misslss-
ippi always gives to woman, was the
livliest ever witnessed here. The SEN

nifcance, resolution to take that up
first being overwhelmingly voted
down. There were II candidates in
nomination, widows and young ladies,
each being extolled to the skies in
fve-ninute speeches and seconds.
Flower gardens, stars and perfumes
were everywhere in evidence, but at
1880 o'clock a ballot was reached, re-
sulting in no nomination. Miss Tuck

THE Anderson Journal of last week
says there is a probability that the
price OF cotton will go up again soon
and thus better prices will prevail for
several months. his should not in
duce the Southern farmers to plant a
large cotton crop the present year.
They have already had sad experience
in marketing large crop and have
been forced by circumstances to turn
their attention to food products, and as
a consequence they are now in better
condition generally than they have
been in the past thirty years. They
know now that it is cheaper and more
satisfactory to make their own corn
and meat than to buy it, and if they
will pursue this policy few more
years they will to Il great extent be
able to control the price OF cotton for
the simple reason that they will not be
compelled to sell it unless the price
suits them. The progress of cotton
manufacturing in tie South indicates
that in a few years the price Of cotton
will be fixed in America and not IN
England. There IS good advice in
the above to the farmers, and we hope
they will act upon it. They have the
matter in their own hands, and they
should not allow themselves to be
fooled into planting too much cotton.

The Way to Stop it.

Commenting on the suggestion
made at a meeting OF colored men in
Boston that it might be necessary to
resort to the flaming brand or the
sword" to stop the lynching Of assail-
ants of Southern women, the New
York Evening Post makes an obser-
vation of practical character to fur
ther the end the Boston patriots have
in view. The most effective way to
stop the lynching of negroes for attro-
cious crimes, says our contemporary,
lis for negroes to stop committing
such crimes" The Baltimore Sun
thinks that would be good beginn-
ing. The right of assaulting women
is not 50 valuable that it should be re-
tanned It all hazards. The persons
whose acts provoke the lynchings are
the men to be first argued with. The
next step," as the Post well says, lis
to arouse the whites of the South to
the dangers to society involved in
growing readiness to relapse to the
barbarous practices Of execution by a
mcb.' There are signs Of increased
interest in this view of the matter.

Cleaned Out 4 Bank.

FAYETTE, O., Jan. S.-One of the
boldest as well as one of the most sue
cessful robberies that has ever occurred
in Fulton county took place some
time last night, when the Bank OF
Fayette, a private financial institu-
ton of which Mr.. Barber, president of
the Ketcham National Bank Of Toledo
is a stockholder, and Charles L. Al
len, cashier, entered, and every cent
of the cash in the safe and valuable
papers were stolen. The robbery was
not discovered until the time came
for the bank to open this morning.
By that hour of course these was no
clue whatever to the thieves, who left
not a single trace of their identity.
The value Of the money and paper
taken is not definitely known, the otfi-
Gals of the bank observing the great
est reticence. 1t is believed, however,
that at least $4,000 and probably as
high SIS, 900 was obtained. The rob-
bers, of whom it is thought there were
at least two, pried open a window and
easily gained entrance to the bank.
Then they blew off the safe door with
some powerful explosive. The rest
was easy.

And so | approach YOU now with a
general invitation, not picking out
here and there a man, or here and
there a woman, Or here and there a
child, but giving you an unlimited in
vitatiou, saying, Come, for ali things
are now ready" We invite you to
the warm heart Of Chaist and the in
closure Of the Christian church. l
know great many think that the
church does not amount to much; that
it is obsolete; that it did its work and
is gone now, so far as all usefulness is
concerned. 1t is the happiest place l
have ever been in, except my own
home
know there are some people who
say they are Christians who seem to
get along without any help from
others, and who culture solitary piety
They do not want any ordinances. l
do not belong to that class. cannot
get along without them. There are so
many things in this world that take
my attention from God and Christ and
heaven that want all the helps of all
the symbols and Of all the Christian
| associations, and | want around about
me solid phalanx of men who love
God and keep his commandments.
Are there any here who would like to
enter into that association? Then by
a simple, childlike faith, apply for ad-
mission into the visible church, and
you will be received. No questions
asked about your past history or pres
ent surroundings. Only one test
do you love Jesus:
Baptism does not amount to any
thing, say a great many people, but
the Lord Jesus declared, ''He that be-
lieveth and is baptized shall be saved
putting baptism and faith side by side.
And an apostle declares, Repent and
be baptized every one of you" do
not sickle for any particular mode Of
baptism, but | put great emphasis on
the fact that you ought to be baptized,
vet no more emphasis than the Lord
Jesus Christ, the great Head of the
church, puts upon it.
Some Of you have been thinking on
this subject year after year. You have
found out that this world is a poor
portion. You want to be christians.
You have come almost into the king
dom of God, but there you stop, for
getful of the fact that to be almost
saved is not to be saved at all. Oh, my
brother, after having come so near to
the door Of mercy, If you turn back,
YOU will never come at all. After all
you have heard of the goodness of
God, if you turn away and die, it will
not be because you did not have a
good offer.
Gods spirit will not always strive
With hardened, self destroying man.
Ye who persist his love 10 grieve
May never hear his voice again.
May God Almighty this hour move
upon your soul and bring you back
from the husks of the wilderness to
the Fathers house, and set you at the
banquet, and put ring on your
| hand

The Court All Right.

COLUMBIA, January 3.-The Su-
preme Court, as at present organized,
has decided that it is not a corpse. The
Court was unanimously of the opin
ion that the point that it was without
jurisdiction was without force. 4
brief statement of the position OF the
Court was filed in order that tne bus.
mess OF the Court might proceed, but
the reason for the view ia ken by the
Court will be filled later. AS it was
merely technical point and has been
settled, everything went along smooth
ly and everyone is satisfied. 1t involv-
ed only few hours delay, and this
morning as soon as the statement OF
the Court was read by Chief Justice
McIver. the work Of the term went
regularly along.
Here is what the Court said on the
two cases that were used to bring up
the point:
In the first case, Middleton and Raw
enel, plaintiffs, respondents, VS. Albert
r. Taber and others. defendants, ap-
pellants, the Court said:
At the hearing OF this case a ques-
ton of jurisdiction was raised, which
it is necessary to dispose OF before pro-
ceeding further with the case That
question is based upon the ground that
by the term of the Constitution of this
State, which took effect from and af-
ter the 31st day of December in the
year 1895" this Court as at present
organized cannot take jurisdiction of
this case.
After careful consideration OF this
question this Court has unanimously
reached the conclusion that the juris-
dictional objection cannot be sustain
ed. and hence the Court will proceed
with the hearing Of this case on the
merits.
The reasons for this conclusion will
be set forth in an opinion hereafter to
be fled. Henry McIver,
ChiefJustice.
In the criminal case the opinion was
announced as follows:
The State, respondent, VS. D. c. Muir
ply, defendant, appellant. The de.
PENDANT in this case having interposed
a plea to the jurisdiction Of this Court
that question meets US at the thresa-
old of the case and must be first dis
posed Of.
This plea is based upon the ground
that this Court. as at present organlz-
ed, cannot, since the present Coustitu-
ton has gone into effect, take jurls-
diction OF this case, because as it is
claimed, it is not the Supreme Court
established by the present Constitu-
ton.
This Court, after carefal consider
alton of this question, having unani
! mously reached the conclusion that
the plea to the jurisdiction cannot be
sustained, it is ordered that the plea be
| overruled.
The reasons for this conclusion will
be set forth in an opinion hereafter to
be filed. Henry McIver,
Chief Justice.
1t is understood that for good rea-
sons the Murphy case has been post
| poned TOR argument until the April
term of the Court, when there will be
| four members of the Court.

A Tarheel Terror.

RALEIGH, n. c., Jan. S.-A remark
able case was tried in the superior
court here today. Mrs. Pattie D. B.
Arlington last year, form some weeks,
published a weekly paper called The
Criminal Docket" in which she at
tackled lawyers and judges and claim
ing that she had been cheated
out of thousands of dollars
worth of property. She parti-
cularly attacked ex-Judge Spier Whit
taker, a leading lawyer and promin-
ent citizen, saying: you robbed,
yes, you stole thirteen hundred dol
lars The grand jury at the last
term OF court returned true bill for
libel against her and also against
Barnes Bros, who published her pa
per.
Mrs. Arlington managed her own
case today. It was the first time a
woman was ever known to do this in
North Carolina. She was on the wit
ness stand, and so was Whitaker and
her cross examination was very warm.
She spoke half an hour. The evil
dence was that Whitaker had paid
out money upon regular decree of
court and that she had signed the pa
pers, and the Judge so stated. The
solicitor said Judge Whittaker's s
character had been fully vindicated
and that the publication was a foul
slander. Mrs. Arlington attacked the
lawyers and solicitor and renewed all
her statements about Whitaker. The
court room was packed. The jury was
out only 15 minutes and returned a
verdict of guilty. Whitaker and the
solicitor asked that judgment be sus-
pended, but Mrs. Arlington became
wild with anger, and daclared she
would again publish her paper and
renew the charges. Solicitor Thomp-
sons request for suspension of judg-
ment was withdrawn and she will be
sentenced tomorrow unless she apollo
gizes. There is another true bill
against her for libelling the memory
of the late Chief Justice Smith.

This historick building was given by
the city of Richmond to the Confeder-
ate Memorial Literary Society, an as

future generations the true history OF

distinct representation on the board of
managers by lady regent from that
State, and also separate room in
which to depositits sacred relics OF the

Miss Daisy Hampton. 1t should be
the pride and glory OF the South to
furnish and maintain this Memorial
Museum in the former capital Of the
Confederacy, for no city in the land
is so associated with the unparalleled
heroism Of the Southern people as
Richmond, whose hills overlook those

ais of the nobler sons aud daughters
of all the South should be sacredly

any kind that tend 10 show the habits
and manner of living of the pc e>pIe,
