tiers of a century ago In the old Hope
Moravian church and chapel near
Clemmonsviile, N. q. The sweet and
inviting tone of this bell has called
many Of our grey and silver-haired
citizens to their dovOtions and has
been the cause of many of them to
seek higher and better joys than this
world affords Capt. John A. Miller,
who was born near Salem, N. @, and
who is one Of our ,st respected and
esteemed cit iZens and who was chris
tened in the oid Hope church, states
that he will have The little bell here

THE BRETHREN STILL Att.
Grant Pays His Respects Quite Warm
ly to Marshall Mott.

~ TO marshall Mott.
Hiram L. Grant has given the Raj
eigh correspondent of the Charlotte
Observer the following interview:
"In your interview with me / must
have said something that hit Mr.
Mott in a tender place. 1 am very
thankful that do not possess vo
cabulary of profanity or billingsgate
to answer the recent attacks upon me
10 kind. Mr. Mott did say to me on
the train from Washington tt at
which he published and a great deal
more. / only said in my interview
what he since admits, viz: THAT
Republicans have repeatedly written
charging him with this and even that
man in there has accused me-" Then
why so much bluster because l said
IL! Col. Motifs reputed relations
with the Southern as attorney, and
the suspicion, to use no stronger term,
was very general that he was running
with the hare as we'll. This caused
some Republicans TO think him a "Bi-
lineual" " Instead of abuse he ought to
thank me for an opportunity OF pub
lfcly defining his position. As to the
alien racket, he played that once with
such poor success that / am surprised
he should have made the second at
tempt. My appetite for pie is fairly
good, but tell Marsh not to make any
comparison which will disclose our
relative success in getting at the dis
tributiOu of it"

Mining for Whisky.

Some Missouri men are engaged in
the rather unusual occupation of min
Ing for whisky, but they have good
reasons for thinking their labors will
be rewarded in a very satisfactory
manner. Fifty years or so ago the
STEAMBOAT Arabia, loaded with whisky,
went down in the NJ ssouri river The
river has since changed its course, and
the wreck of the craft lies mile away
from the water The prospectnrs
have located the wreck. and are dig.
ging for the whisky, which, haying
aged for half century, ought to be in
prime condition and sell for a good
price.

Tom and the President.

They tell pretty good one on Tom
Hege while he was In Washington re-
Gently He was a member of the party
that called upon and shook hands
with the President. When Tom step
ped up in 'front.' of Mr.. Mckinley he
remarked: "Whiskey is running this
country" The President, of course
heard him, but he did not have time
to enter into discussion with his
friend Hege, so he pushed Toms
hand, meaning for him to move on
and make way for others.
As Tom passed on he repeated his
remark and at the same time handed
the President a little temperance
tract, but Mr.. Mckinley had no time
TO read and he let the paper fall on
the floor.

Salt Water in the Cape Fear.

The Wilmington papers say that
all the saw mills and steam plants on
the Cape Fear river, as far up as Hill
ton, and even the waterworks plant,
are having no end OF trouble with
their boilers en- account of salt water
in the river. The river is lower than
it has been for years, and the salt
water of the ocean has come up and
taken place of fresh water The water
in the mains and pipes of the water
works company throughout Whining
ton is also salty and rendered unfit for
drinking and domestic use
The water in the river as far up as
the city never gets salty unless there
is very severe drought or a heavy
southeast storm that blows the water
up the river.
