Captain ADircrombie replied that he
could not properly equip a company
in that time, but is nevertheless going
ahead with preparations for the long
journey north. He has authority to
pick so men from the troops located in
this department. and two lieutenants.
It is the intention of the government
to establish the post at Circle City,
the troops to have police powers in all
the Yukon col,ntry on the American
side. Captain Abircrombie surveyed
that region ten years ago, succeeding
Lieutenant Schwatka, the Arctic eX-
plorer, in the government work. He
believes the overland trip from Dyea
will be the only practicable one for
his troops, as it is not probable steam

FIRST Methodist Sermon in America.

"On the seventh of March, 1876
John Wesley preached the first Metho
dist sermon on this continent" writes
the Rev. w. J. Scott, D. D., in an in.
teresting review of "When John Wes-
ley Preached in Georgia." In the June
Ladies' Home Journal. at was deliv-
cred not tar from the site of the present
Christ Church, Savannah, of which he
subsequently was the third rector, and
was addressed to mixed assemblage.
His congregation hardly exceeded four
hundred persons, including children
and adults, reinforced, however, by one
hundred or more of the neighboring
Indians Wesley discussed in most
eloquent manner the principles of
Christian charity as argued by Saint
Paul in the thirteenth chapter of First
Corinthians. He made powerful ap-
peal, and many of his audience were in
tears. While he was not go lmpetuous
in his delivery as in after years, his
abilities at that time bespoke the great
preacher and reformer.
eff he was more scholastic in style
than in after years, the feryor and force
of his appeals were none the less felt by
his hearers. Especially was this strik-
ingly true when in the course OF his
discourse he adverted to the death OF
his father, who for forty years or more
had been the incumbent of the Epworth
rectory. This venerable man was asked
not long before his death Are the
consultations of God small with your
No. no, no = he exclaimed, with up
lifted hands, tand then,' continued
Wesley, calling all that were near him
by their names, the dying patriarch
said: Think of Heaven, talk OF Heav-
en-; all time is lost when we are not
thinking of Heaven = This was spoken
by Wesley in tremulous voice, and
his new parishioners at Savannah were
for the instant almost swept off their
feet by tidal waye of religious en-
thusiasm. Tradition has it that several
Indians who were present became SO
greatly excited, not only by Mr.. Wes-
ley's impassioned oratory-though they
did not understand word he sald-but
by his gestures, that one old warrior
nervously clutched his tomahawk, fear
ing an outbreak in the strangely-moved
audience"

From the number OF towns in the
State that have voted for local prohi-
bition recently it would seem that the
temperance sentiment is growing in
North Carolina. There are many who
question the wisdom of prohibition in
small towns who would vote for it on
a broader scale. So after all the num-
Der of places that vote for local prohi-
bition do not give a good index to the
temperance sentiment in the State, for
it is greater and stronger than is indi-
Gated by local prohibition.
The commonwealth. (Scotland Neck, N.C.) 1896-1929, 1897-06-24

A very intelligent gentleman who
has travelled much said to us few
da rs ago that, considering all its possi-
bilities, North Carolina is one of the
foremost States in the Union. The
soil of the State, he said, is adapted to
the production of almost everything
needed for the sustenance and comfort
OF man. And another remarked that
Eastern Carolina is destined to become
the best part of the State.
This is what The COMMONWEALTH has
long believed, what has it been preach
ing and proposes to preach still. The
only thing needed for such develop
ment is for the people to wake up to
the possibilities of the section, proper
ly advertise it, and the development
will come.

Hon. w. J. Bryan's visit to Norfolk
last week was most enjoyable feature
OF the "Chautaugua by the Sea" which
is now In progress In that city. Mr..
Bryan made great speech on bimet-
allism and was given quite an ovation
by the Norfolk people. In an inter-
view he said some very pleasant things
for the South. He has kind feelings
for the South and the people of this
section for the most part greatly admire
Mr.. Bryan.
The Norfolk people think that Mr..
Bryan's popularity is increasing rather
than decreasing. Some have predicted
that If he continues to travel and speak
it will jeopardize his chances for the
presidential nomination in 1900. But
Mr.. Bryan seems in blood earnest in
the cause OF silver, and SO pays no at
tention to such unfavorable predictions.
Mess. Hugh and Hector Mclean,
the bachelor twins in Harnett county,

press which they wrote to the Louis
vile Courier Journal.
eve see all inquiry as to what time
the cold Friday and Saturday was.
1t was in February, 1885, about the
9th or 7th of the month. In Fayette-
vile, N. c., it killed the China shade
trees. We remember the time we'll, as
we went to new boarding house, and
the sheets on the bed felt like ice and
in breathing ice formed on the blan-
kets. The next winter we travelled
in four of the southern states, and
heard it often spoken of as the cold
Friday and Saturday, and as being the
coldest time that had been known.

A Princess Lacks Half a Crown.

Many incidents in the early life of
Queen Victoria are related in an ar
ticle in ST. Nicholas, written by
James Cassidy and entitled Girl
hood Days of England's Queen.
Mr.. Cassidy says:
A certain story associated with
Tunbridge Wells illustrates how sen
sibly she was treated. At bazaar
in that town the little girl had spent
all her money, most unselfishly, it
must be admitted, for she had been
buying presents for her friends. A
pretty box arrested her attention,
and she said to her governess:
"How I should like to buy that
box for So-and-so, whom she men
toned by name, "but it is half a
crown, and I've spent all my
money!"
The saleswoman, saying, "That
is of no consequence, proposed to
inclose it with the other articles.
The Baroness Lehzen objected, as
the princess was not allowed to buy
upon credit, but only for ready
money. The saleswoman immedi-
ately offered to put by the box for
her, and this was gladly agreed to.
It was quite early one morning some
time afterward when the young
princess, mounted on donkey, ap-
peared at the shop. She had re-
ceived her allowance and had come
to buy the coveted treasure.

Send in the News.

An exchange very truly says that it
is impossible for newspapers to publish
all the items of local interest that
transpire in a community, unless it's
readers take pains to send in news.
Be they ever so enterprising and busy,
the reporters cannot go everywhere
and see and hear everything for them
selves. Here is what our exchange
has to say about it:
" Don't forget the editor when you
have a news item. If your wife whips
you let US know of it and we will set
you right before the public. If you
have company tell us-if you are not
ashamed of your visitors. If a young
ster arrives at your house and de-
mands food and raiment, buy quar-
ter's worth of cigars and come around,
and if you are cash subscriber we
will furnish a name for him or her, as
circumstances warrant. IfyOu have
social gathering of few friends bring
around big cake, six or seven pies
and ham-not necessarily to eat, but
as guarantee of good faith. You
needn't bother to invite us, as it may
be a little too cool for our wardrobe.
We mention these little things because
we want the news and we will have it. "

landlord with arrest because that indi-
vidual refused to give up the frames
before they paid their board bill,

the boarding house keeper that he quit

advice; to learn that he was justified to

forming an extensive stock company

time. Their first idea was to make the
capital stock of the company exceed
ingly large, representing the wealth of
Kenosha and various other opulent
cities of the Badger state. But owing
to the fact that the cost of mining has
been very materially reduced Of late,
and that the recent great rush for that
region has brought about Improvements
reducing the expense and inconven-
fence of traffic, the gentlemen have
given up the thought of gigantic syn

their figure at $4,000. One of the
