WHY TINES ARE HARD.

Mr. Brodie Il. Duke, of Durham, who
was in Raleigh yesterday, says that
business will not improve until Con-
gress quits cultivating every other
country's patch and goes to attending
to business that affects the United
States. II had a letter few days
ago. "said Mr.. Duke, from business
man Of prominence in the North, and
he accounted for the present dull times
on the idea that much war talk in
Congress had made capital timid, and
had made men afraid to turn loose
their money
Mr.. Duke thinks if Congress would
eonfne itself TO legislation affecting
the people Of the United States, and
quit trying to regulate South America,
Venezuela, Cuba, Spain, Hawaii and
other countries with which they have
nothing to do, there would be better
chance for good times in manufactnr-
ing and In business.

WORK oF THE CHURCHES.

The new Methodist church at Garner
IS completed. Rev. ID. III. Tuttle is the
pastor. 1t will probably be dedicated
the first Sunday in April.
At the Primitive Baptist church IN
this city the Primitive Baptist congre-
cation Of Neuse are holding their quar-
terly meeting. The church at Neuse
RECENTLY caught fire while services
were going on, and the roof was
ablaze before the fire was discovered;
the congregation escaped unhurt, but
the church was burned to the ground.
So the congregation was compelled 70
hold quarterly meeting in the church
here. Elder Woodward and Elder
Gold. editor of lions Landmark, the of
fetal paper of the denomination,
preached yesterday, and will preach
again to. The meeting is well attended.
Elder Gold is not only the leading
divine Of this band of Christians IN the
South, but is one of the ablest preach
ers of any denomination in the State
He is a student, a scholar, a thinker,
deeply rooted in Biblical and classic
lore, a profound logician, man OF
deep Diety, simple tastes, and an all
round strong man. His requirements
would have secured him the title Oh ID.
ID. but for the fact that neither he nor
his church believes in any title. Elder
Wm. Woodward is justly held in the
highest esteem and generation wherey-
er known. In Wilson and adjoining
counties his influence for good is sec
ond to that of no preacher or the Cos
pel who has ever lived in that section.
He is a large planter, prudent In busl-
ness. faithful in spirit, serving the
God. His knowledge of the Bible ~
proverbial He is a man Of one Book,
and he knows its every passage, ana
finds in its pages comfort and ZIP IN
every condition in life. He devotes
most of his time in preaching and IN
reading the Bible, and in ministerlng
unto those who are in need.
Rev. Mr.. Anderson, Of Montgomery,
Alabama, viii occupy the pulpit of the
First Presbyterian church this morn
ing.
The protraeted meeting in progress
at Fayetteville Street Baptist church
continues to increase in interest week
by week. There has been large num-
Der of conversions, and during the past
week there have been many penitents
at the altar.
The meeting at Central Methodist
church, conducted by the pastor, Rev.
ID. TT. Tuttle, continues.
Al special invitation is extended to
the public to attend Brooklyn Metho-
dist Sunday school, held at three
o'clock this afternoon.

ist, (who some years ago conducted
perhaps the largest religious revival
ever held in this city, had died sudden

THE @ToM THUMB WEDDING"

Our people have not had an opportu-
nifty to enjoy as delightful an enter
tainment as will be that of the ''Tom
Thumb Wedding" next Friday night
at Metropolitan Hall. The bride is to be
one of our most beautiful little girls,
of very few summers, and the groom
is gallant boy of only nine years. The
attendants viii all be tiny children,
and the combined ages of the entire
bridal party, including that of the
youthful clergyman, would hardly
aggregate the years of an ordinary
bride and groom.
In addition to the wedding, an en-
tirely novel Circulating Library will
be opened to the audience, containing
all the latest and most popular books
in vivifed form. and there viii be a
wonderful display of military evolu-
tions, company of young ladies, with
a fair and slxilful captain in charge.
General admission 25 cents. Reserved
seats can be secured at Bobbitt's drug
store at an additional cost of 10 cents.

BOYD FOR M'KINLEY.

Mr.. William E. White, of Mebane, is
in the city, and showed ms a letter yes
terday, under date of March 10th, from
Col. James Il. Boyd, of Greensboro, in
which Col. Boyd declares himself en-
phatically and strongly for Mckinley or
President. Indeed, the genial Guilford
county candidate for Republican CUB
ernatorial honors lays claim to the dis
tinction of being the only original Me-
Kinley man, for he favored his nom
ination away back in 1888, and there
has not been time since that he would
not have made him President if it had
been in his power" Col. Boyd declares
that three-fourths of the Republicans
in North Carolina, and lots of Demo
Gratis who are inclined to vote the Re-
publican ticket, are in favor of McKin-
ley. He believed that "our boys who
wore the gray have resiect for the
boys who wore the blue,n and it is
but natural that our people should pre-
fer TO honor brave soldier who fought
for the Union. This is the position of
one of the Republican candidates, and
it doubtless means little more fun in
the Fifth district, and probably a lit
tie more fun in the State.

 Cycling is not very dangerous recreation after all. as is proved by statistics. In England only 90 deaths were produced by cycling in twelve months. On comparing this number with the total number of fatal high way and street accidents through England and Wales, it will be found that barely two per cent of them were caused by cycling.
