city proposing that fund of $5O,oOo DC
raised by popular subscription and pre-
scented to Mr.. Bryan on the fourth OF

be has upon the hearts of the people, and
the suggestion does great credit TO them.
But AIR. Bryan could not accept the pro-
poscd gift. He Il strong, self-rcliaut
man, and could not consent TO or permit
his friends to put him in the attitude that
the acceptance of the money would place
him in. None the less this, popular
move shows that Mr.. Bryan has 81 hold

Two of the most important meetings
that hare or will be held in North Car

Presbyterian Synod at Newbern, and the
Raptist State Convention, at Morganton.

The Raptists have the largest member
shin of any church in the State, and by
the well directed efforts Of an army of
vigorous and eonsecrated preachers, most
of them young, are establishing new
churches in all sections where the Bap-
lists have not hitherto had houses of
worship. In educating their people the
Baptists are making rapid strides, and
are carrying the light of religion into the
remotest mountain coves and most DESC
late sand banks along the Atlantic. Its
educational institutions, its orphanage.
and its other church enterprises are
fiourishing, and enlargement and in-
crease are seen in every direction. Its
ministry, many of whom labor for very
little remuneration, are found in every
county In the State, preaching in the
handsomest churches and in log school
houses. Elsewhere we print an inter-
esting article upon the strength and
growth of this church, copied from the
Biblical Recorder.
The people of the State will take a deep
interest in the proceedings of these two
religious gatherings, for there is not a

North Carolina enjoys the reputation
of being a very healthful State, and
one noted for the longevity of people.
A striking illustration of this is fur
nishcd by the registration lists of the re-
cent election, which showed $4,000
names.
The forthcoming Auditors report
shows that there are only 273,612 persons
in the State subject to poll tax, or only
that many reported, of whom III ,915 are
white and 65,697 are colored
This gives 112,38S persons who have
lived beyond the poll tax age, which is
proof conclusive that the climate and
