Col. lNGERSOLL'S NEW RELI-
GION.-ln response to an invitation
extended by Rev. John Rusk, pastor
Of the Militant Church in Chicago,
Col. RObt. G. Ingersoll addressed
that congregation. He made the
following startling statement: That
the debt of christendom, mostly con-
tracted for war, is nearly $50, O,OOO,-
600, 900; the cost of supporting ar
mics and navieS, and making new
engines of death, including the in
terest on the debt, amounts to &c..
100000 per day, or allowing ten
hours day, 100000 per hour and
$4,000 minute. He estimates the
value of the church property of this
country at $1,000, ,OOO,0 900, and the
total cost of maintenance at $4,000
600 week, which he describes as a
"source of waste in seeking the aid
of the supernatural" He says that
the present method of dealing with
criminals is failure, that they should
be educated, and that only those
hopelessly violent detormed natures
should be imprisoned for life. Mar
riage should be contract, with moth
ing supernatural about it. Men
should have divorces in case of
the fragrant violation of the contract
by the wife. Women he would give
divorce whenever they requested it.
No woman should be made to live
with man she abhOrS. Col. Inger-
soil summarized his religion in these
words, DO all the good you can"

DRANK UP HIS SAWMILL.-Tom
met an old friend, who was formerly
a prosperous young lumberman up
in northern Minnesota, but whose
bad habits of drinking brought him
to a pretty 'hardup' condition, al
though he has since reformed, and is
doing better.
"How are you ?" asked Tom.
Pretty well, thank you; but I've
just seen doctor to have him exam
inc my throat"
What's the matter 2"
We'll, the doctor couldn't give
me any encouragement. At least,
he could not find what / want to
find"
"What did you expect him to
find"
- asked him to look down my
throat for the sawmill and farm that
had gone down there in drink"
And did he see anything of it ?''
No; but he advised me if / ever
got another mill to run it by water. ~

Not A BAD IDEA.-A gentleman
once asked lawyer what he would
do provided he had loaned man $500
and the man had left the country
without sending any acknowledge
ment.
"Why that's simple just write
him to send an acknowledgement for
the $4,000 you lent him, and he will
doubtless reply stating it was only
$500. That will suffice for receip,
and you can proceed against him il
necessary"

Money in the United States.
Washington. Feb

w dSnlngJOn, F'eD. ~.
In response to a resolution the
Secretary Of the Treasury to-
day sent to the Senate a state-
ment showing the amounts Of va
rious kinds and the toGal amount
of money in existence ia the
United States Oh January 81,
1896, and giving other informas
ton concerning national finances.
He says that the aggregate
amount of coin aud currency
notes and money of the United
States at all forms at that time
amounted to So, 900. 226. Of
this the Treasury held $617, ,793, :
512, the amount outside being
81, $40, 206. 724. The Secretary
says that it is not practicable to
state the amount he'd as reserves
by the national, State and pri~
vate banks, and other financial
institutions, but that on Decem-
Der 13. 1895, there was held by
3, ,706 national banks total of
1921, Oil, 1913, of which $113, 843,~
400 was in gold coin, $50, 936, 030
in gold Treasury certificates,
$6, 984, 382 in silver dollars and
S25, 878, 1928 in silver certificates.
He says that on July 1, 6,093
State banks held 1927, 743, 309, of
which $40, 144. 262 was gold and
50, ,511,727 silver. Referring to
the bank reserves the Secretary
says that it is impossible co give
them, as they are not held sepa-
rate from other funds. He also
says that he cannot, in the ao-
sence of official records, state
what amounts were held as re
serves by the banks prior to the
establishment of the national
banking system, but that as State
banks of issue were gene1 ally re-
quired to hold specie reserve of
about 80 per cent. for the re-
demption of their notes, it is
probable that the reserve ac-
tually held Was less in proper
ton to the total amounts outside
of the Treasury than at the pres
ent time. On the contrary, he
thinks it probable that the re-
serves were taken greater in
proportion than they now are,
because there are now no State
banks of issue and national
banks are not required to hold
any reserve on account of circu-
lation.
The statement gives the esti-
mated population of the United
States January / at 70.630, 900,
giving an average of about $50
to each individual.

A NEW SOUTHERN INDUSTRY.

1t is probable that the cultiva-
tion of hops will soon become an
important industry in some parts
of the South. Mr.. A. L. Jones,
who came from the hop region of
New York, has been expert
menting in hop culture near
Warrenton, n. @.
He is enthusiastic over the re-
suit.
He has procured some speci-
mems of the best New York hops
and fiuds on comparison with the
product of his own North Caro~
lima farm that the latter is de>
cidedly superior. Mr.. Jones
goes SO far as to claim that the
North Carolina hops are the best
in the world. He says:
''It's by far the finest hop I
ever saw, and IL was produced
at about one third what it cost US
to raise a poorer quality in New
York State. North CarOlinians
have fine soil, ideal climate. cheap
labor-everything in their fa-
vor."
Hops are a very prof table
crop wherever they can be grown
successfully and the expert from
whom we quoted believes that
many sections of the South are
suited to hop culture.
He recommends the formation
Of hop-growers' associations, a
nun Der of farmers clubbing to-
gether, getting an expert hop
man to take charge the first year,
build a hopcuring house and
each member of the association
plant a small field in hops, the
acreage to be increased year by
year until each owns his own hop
farm
This matter is certainly worth
the attention Of Wayne county
farmers and we hope to see them
take hold of it.

This is the third of Rev.
Whitted's Institutes under the
new plan of cooperation in the
mission work in this State. These
institutes are doing vast
amount of good in the localities
where they are being held. The
lectures given from time to time,
will bring ebuut a more thOroug h
system of work among the col
ored Bapt:sts and make them
more acquainted with each other
The preachers, deacons and Sun
day school workers who attend
these Institutes are overjoyed at
the benefits received. Some of
the brethren say, ''iJ is theo~
logical school to them"
Rev Spillman, of Kinston,
and Revs Long and Sumner, of
Goldsboro, assisted Revs.
Whitted and Brown in giving
the lectures at this meeting. Hon.
J. @. Scarboro, State Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction, de-
livered a very interesting and
profitable lecture on "Christian
Education"
In our Judgment, we feel safe
in saying that the missionary
work, under this new plan, has
shown itself to be a success al
ready
The next of Rev. Whitted In
stitutes will be at Elizabeth City,
March 4.
1t was our unbounded pleasure
to visit the Graded School. under
the Pr:Lcipalship of Rev. G.
Dlllard, one of our ablest teach
ers, an advanced educator, aud
one Of the most thoroughly
scholarly citizens of Goldsboro.
The training in the different de-
partments is an evidence of a
courageous spirit among the
faithful teachers who labor from
day to day in the school room.
Prof Diliard has associated with
him in the school, Mrs. DR.. E. q.
Smith, Miss Julia A. AIMEE, Mrs
Matte D0rtch. Miss Susan Nc
Lamb, Mrs. A. B. Scott.
Our Raleigh schools are sup
piled with efficient and jealous
teachers, but should we be in de-
mand of additional teachers, we
might do as we have in secur-
ing our Superintendants, call on
Goldsboro to supply us.
On Friday morning we went
out to the Eastern Hospital. The
new addition to the building is
very nearly completed, which will
accumulate about one hundred
more patients. The Hospital at
present is full.

OLD GLORY. /"
General Miles Presents the Nations
Flag to the Washington
High School.
Washington. Feb. 20,

Washington, Feb. 90.
Wlshington's Birthday was
celebrated to. day by the pupils
Of Il High School, and Major
Ger rad Nelson A. Miles, com
mar ng the army of the United
States, presented to the school
a large and handsome flag. He
said: "My young friends, it is a
pleasing duty to me to be here
this afternoon and one that I
shall always remember. We
should love and respect the
principles of our government.
The flag is nothing in itself, but
it is great as Indication of the
principles it represents"
General Miles referred to the
Chinese fag-a dragon-the
symbol of strength and numbers,
but he added, it has been demon
strated recently how little that
avails without intellect and train
ing. In describing the flag of
the United States he referred to
the white as token of purity,
the red as showing the sacrifice
of blood to sustain the flag in the
air and the blue as union and
loyalty. 1T is especially fit
