PLEASANT EVENING AT THE TAB

At the meeting Of the Cleaning Club
of the Baptist Tabernacle Sunday
School last night, the 50 people who
had been given ten cents each as a
fand to work upon in raising money
TO build am infant classroom, brought
in their returns. The amount was
$t27. One of the ladies, Mrs. j. FL.
Weathers, had increased her ten cents
to S42; Miss Simms SIC; Miss Rosa
Broug1hton SIS; Miss Virgie Egerton
So, and other smaller amounts. After
the returns were ali i'm, a spelling bee
was organized with Ma. n. b. Brough-
ron as school master. 1t was very
pleasant evening, and gave "a fresh im-
Detus for the fund for the infant class
room. The boss speller was Mr.. Thos.
Brickhouse, of Virginia, who was vls-
thing relatives i'm the city. North Car
olina hated to be downed by Virginia,
but it's hospitality overcame it's ambi-
ton. Likewise, Mr. Brickhouse's spell
ing qualities were better than the Tar

in hand the Hall up stairs and
down was solid mass of blacks,
not a white man among them except
half a dozen white RAIDS on the stage,
and two dozen or so Democrats on the
three back rows of seats. Russell made
one of the bitterest and most yindi-
catise of all his better speeches. His
hours talk was and appeal to the
negro for his support.
He abused the democratic party and
Democrats generally had no kind words
for white men. but Landed and praised
and courted the negro, and declared
that their rights, liberties and freedom
were at stake lie declared that the
Democrats DISTINGUISHED the negro
and as he voted with the negro, they
had DISTINGUISHED him, and that fusion
was the only thing that would keel
the Democrats from DISTINGUISHING
them again. He said he didn't call al
the negroes savages; that there wert
