THE MISSION ROOMS.
The Good Work Done is Threatened
and Raleigh People Ought Not to
Permit 1t.

The Good Work Done is Threatened
and Raleigh People Ought Not to
Permit 1t.
For some years the Mission Rooms of
this city have been kept open, and
through them much good has been ac-
complished. The contributions have
fallen off so much that it is announced
the rooms viii be closed on the first of
March. MIR. A. M. McPheeters, who has
been one Of the supporters and helpers
of the Rooms, writes OF the proposed
closing:
"This Is certainly great misfortune
to the worthy poor OF our city. The
writer has for more than thirty years
laborcd to provide for our poor, md
there is no doubt but that since the
Mission Rooms has had it in hand
our poor have been more iudiciously,
Systematically and carefully provided
for than has ever been done before.
That mistakes have occurred may be
so, but il is mortal to err Now the
flood gates of begging on the street
and from door to door viii be opened
and the most unworthy are always the
most persistent, and will get what
many worthy poor and less persistent
viii need. Not only the bodily wants,
but often the spiritual wants have been
cared for and blessed. What has been
done in 'reseuing the fallen in the
number who have been taken from
homes of pollution and vice and sent
where they are reformed and provided
with good homes will ever stand as
monument of glory to the Mission
Rooms. Cannot something be done to
have the Mission Rooms and their
great work carried on; who and how
many will call on Mr.. Jno. r. PulIen
and pledge for monthly subscription 2"
The News and Observer has had oc-
casion to know something of the good
work done by this Mission, and we
hope the citizens will not permit it to
close. twenty-five dollars month
will enable the Mission Rooms to CON
tinue open and the good work to go on.

JUDGE MCRAE MISTAKEN.

"The Democratic Party Did Not Alb
serb the Old and Honored Wing
Party"
The Wilmington Review says:
1t was Judge McRae, we believe, that
said something about the Democratic
party having absorbed the old Wing
party and that it was afterwards
known as the Conservative party
Judge McRae is mistaken There was
a faction OF the Democratic party in
the early years after the war which
was self-styled Conservative and which
was really OF considerable annoyance
and discomfort. sometimes, to the real
Democratic party To the "Conserva-
tiyes" was due the Horace Greeley
fiasco I'M 1872. The Democrats didn't
want Greeley At amy price but q facti-
tiOns sentiment was created before the
convention met which really forced his
nomination. And from the moment
the convention adjourned it was seen
that the task of eiecting him was alb
soIutely and absurdly impossible. The
result justified these forebodings; we
were licked out Of our boots and found
out that Te had stultiiied ourselves
and had IN vain made sacrifice or
principles held dear by the Democratic
party. But il killed the Conservative
business and we we're all Democrats
after that. One thing more. The DEM
ocratic party did not absorb the old
and honored Wing party. Their diff
ferences were simply reconciled and
the two united. The war and its re-
suits we're responsible for this There
were no Democrats and no Wings III
the South when war was made by the
Federal administration upon the SEE
ceding States. There we're no party
men here; we we're all patriotic south
erners.

TO the penitentiary an escaped convict.
The case is rather unusual.

name Of Charlie Smith was sentenced
to the roads of Chatham county for
stealing hog.
The chief Of the road gang got a
clue. worked the case up, and found
that Charlic Smith and William White
were one and the same.
So the Chatham road gang loses
Charlie Smith, but the penitentiary
gains William White

LITTLE SUFFERER RELIEVED.

when my baby was nine months
old red spots came out on his body
down to his knees. He would scratch
them and that would leave red and
watery places. I tried many different
remedies nutil he was three years old,
but nothing did him any good and
then | began giving him Hoods Sarsa-
parilla, and used Hoods Olive Oint-
ment. From the first l could see an

bottle of Hoods Sarsaparilla and had

A SUPREME COURT INCIDENT.

Court to Adopt the Rule Equal
Rights to All and Special Privileges
to None"
The lawyers from Louisburg are here
arguing their cases in the Supreme
court. a set of jolly, brainy fellows
they are Mr.. T. w. Bicket made his
FIRST appearance before the Supreme
court, and his argument has been
much complimented. There was a
pleasant and amusing incident which
occurred IN his argument. He repre-
scented the plaintiff who was seeking
10 recover ON three notes. Tie de-
fendant had pleaded the statute of
limitation. The plaintiff relied on a
paymeH made by the defendant
which he claimed as the defendant
had - directed the application lie had
the right TO split up and apply ratably
on each of the notes. Mr.. Biclet closed
Ills argument as follows:
In the eye Of the law, the debts are
all on The same footing, and the logic
Of the thing demands, the justice Of it
requires, that where There is no differ
ence there shall be no distinction, and
thE 0hIS LlfIg tAdb can DC done rs W
divide the payment and distribute it
ratabIy among the several claims
thereby giving judicial sanction to the
slogan of the American politician,
equal and exact justice to all, and
special privileges to none
The last sentence came as a climax,
and the Judges Of the Supreme court
tried to look solemn, but the force Of the
classic aIlusion was stronger than their
power of self-restraint and they
manifested, like ordinary mortals,
their appreciation of the occasion.
