ANNUAL JUNE FESTIVAL.
Beautifully Celebrated by the Mora.
| vians at Bethania.


Our Vienna correspondent writes
that the annual Moravian June festi-
val at Bethania, was celebrated Sun
day. The day was beautiful, and
in the early morning the church band,
from the steeple of the church, dis
coursed music, and in the language of
Milton, "The morning trumpets festi-
val proclaimed. !"
Bishop Rondthaler preached the
morning sermon, and in his introduc
tory, gave brief history Of the Be
thania settlement.
The Bishop said that more than a
century and quarter ago, the first
white family stayed all night in this
wilderness, and that the text of the
service on that night was, II will
fear no evil; for thou art with me: thy
rod and thy staff they comfort me-
psalm 23:4).
In the evening the love feast and the
services of the holy communion were
held.
The excellent singing OF the church
choir, the beautiful fi1ral decorations
and large congregation OF about SOC
souls IN attendance made it very en-
couraging day for the Bethania Home
| Church and its three filial chapels
The faithful pastor, Rev. e. S Cros-
land, should be encouraged by the
| many evidences of goou being accom-
| plished by his able and earnest work
| for the Master.

AGAINST THE TOBACCO TAX.
What Pritchard, Pearson and Linney
Have to Say About 1t.


Have to Say About 1t.
A special from Washington says
Robert T, Joyce, of Mount Airy, was
there last week comforting with the
North Carolina delegation in opposi-
tion to the tobacco tax. He saw Sena-
tor Pritchard and representatives
Linney and Pearson, and they in
formed him that the proposed in-
crease will hardly be sustained in the
Senate. There are number of Re
publican Senators opposed to it, and
the Democrats are practically united
aginst it. Senator Daniel presented a
powerful petition from the tobacco
men of Virginia against the proposed
Increase, and unless all signs fail, the
finance committee will not be able
TO muster sufficient number of votes
to carry the amendment. There was
a conference OF the tobacco men last
night at the Arlington Hotel.
Senator Pritchard desires to avoid
an open fight in the Senate over the
tobacco question, and he proposes
that the committee recede from its
proposed amendment. There is a
growing belief that such course will
be adopted as the better solution of
the problem.
