THE REV. EDWARD MACK.
A Strong Sermon at the Presbyterian
Church Sunday.

This already eminent young minister
has been the guest of his father-in-law,
DR.. G. S. Kirby, during the past week,
and consented to preach at the fresDy-
terian church last Sunday morning. lie
appears in excellent health and was al
together at his best, alike IN delivery ana
in the thought so clearly concelVed ana
logically presented. The text was Micah
7:1O. "Shame shall cover her which SAID
unto me. Where is the Lord thy God z +"
The sermon was directed against the
nassimism of the day and was strong
setting forth of the grounds OF hopeful-
ness and good cheer concerning the
church and the true religion. Admitting
that outward forms and systems might
change or even perish the speaker ar
gued earnestly for the imperishable ma
flre of essential truth and righteousness
and for the final and glorious triumph Of
the church in her warfare against error
and sin This position fortified by consld-
erations drawn from prophecy and other
sources, the peroration came in the form
Of en- exquisite illustration drawn from
Norsemen's legend of coming day of
the sun shining simultaneously all over
the earth and Of all the great and good
coming down to rejoice in the universal
spring-time of blue skies, blooming flow
ers and singing birds. The more sub
lime prophecies were freely quoted, and
the exhortation to hopefulness as the
years sweep by was based upon the inn
mortality of Christ's kingdom and the
certainty of Christ's appearing.

being at his bedside, the sincere sympathy
of his Raleigh friends and indeed Of the

THE BICYCLE WINNER.
4 Little Eight Year old Orphan Living
at Kenly in Johnston County.

y Little EIgnI 1eaf OIQ OFlAldu LIVING
Mt Kenly in Johnston County,
Ever since Thursday night Messrs. Ber
wanger Bros, have been wondering who
Ernest Pittman was and where he lived.
1t was Ernest who drew the bicycle Of
fered by this enterprising firm, and no
body seemed to know Ernest or know
where he lived. But yesterday Mr.. Lee +.
Afford, of the News and Observer, re-
turned from a holiday visit to his home
at Kenly, in Johnston county, and in
formed Messrs.. Berwanger that Ernest
was little eight year old orphan boy
living near KenlY.
Some days ago Mr.. Afford went to
Berwanger's store to purchase for Ernest
and his brother, Austin, lad of twelve
years, suit of clothes each, preparing
them for admittance into an orphanage,
their application having been passed on
fayorably. Mr.. Afford took advantage of
the offer made by Messrs. Berwanger and
put six tickets in the box for Ernest and
seven for Austin, thirteen dollars being
the total amount of the bill, and Ernest
drew the bicycle 1T is only fair to Mr..
Afford to state that the clothes were
donation from him to the two little Or
phans that they might be properly clad
when they entered the orphanage. No
body, not even any one of those who were
contestants for the bicycle will regret that
by lucky turn of fortune the
prize went to a deserving boy who had
no one to make his Christmas merry.

EVERY DISTRICT EXCEPT THE
FIFTH GOES FOR SILVER.
The Democrats Were Aroused And
Thousands Turned Out.


The people have spoken in thunder
tones and sweeping victory has been
won for double standard Democracy
all over Kentucky. Bimetallism will
continue to be a principle of the Dem
ocratic party and we will hear no
more of Shermanism except in the
Republican party, where it originated.
Every district in the State has gone
for bimetallism and in several of them
the goldbugs did not carry a county.
Ninety of the 11S counties heard from
have gone for silver. Even in Louis
vile the gold bugs had hot fights on
their hands in five of the nine dis
tricts and in two of them only carried
their point by refusing to give the
silver men a count. This caused
splits and there will be five contest
ing delegations from Louisville, one
of them in Chairman Chas. r. Longs
own district. If there is any merit in
this contest, the Democrats of Ken
lucky will doubtless take great pleas
ure in passing upon it, since Mr..
Long heads the goldbug delegation.
The following is the vote by districts,
which shows that the goldbugs will
have only two of the 26 delegates and
they will be controlled by the unit
