DIR. CARTER PLEASES THEM.
The Monroe Papers Speak Flateringly
of Raleigh's Eloquent Divine.

1he Monroe HaperS speak Flateflngly
of Raleigh's Eloquent Divine.
Rev DIR. J. w. Carter, ID. D., pastor
of the First Baptist church, is engaged
this week in preaching at Monroe. The
people are greatly pleased with him.
The Enquirer says:
DR. Carter is a minister full of the
spirit of the Master, an earnest, con-
secrated man of God who breaches the
gospel in deep earnestness and in a mas
terly way presents the beautiful grand
eur of the Word of God. His language
is chaste and beautiful, his power of IL
lustration is remarkable, and his whole
being is thrown into his work. But a
bove everyth else he impresses You as
a man who has learned of the Great
Teacher and in his great tenderness and
faith and big hearted love for humanity
is indeed winner of souls and one who
is eminently fitted to tell men of the
beauties of the character of the Naza-
rene. because he possesses so much of
that character himself"
The Monroe Journal says:
'Dr J. w. Carter, of Raleigh, arrived
in Monroe Monday. He breaches at the
Baptist church every afternoon and
evening. His sermons are powerful pre-
sentations Of the gospel. His sincerity
his meekness, and his earnestness make
his preaching forcible and direct. He
breaches the plain gospel truth that car
ries conviction to the hearts OF his hear
ers.''

TO EXTERMINATE CROP PESTS

The Commission Preparing to Make War
on the San Jose Scale.
The commission for controlling crop
pests held a meeting Thursday to adopt
further regulations regarding the exter-
mination of the San Jose Scale insect.
This pest, it will be remembered, has
proven very destructive to fruit growers
in other States, and the object of the
commission is to prevent these great
losses in North Carolina. Recent investi-
CATION has shown that the scale is far
more widespread than was expected or
feared, and it will take most active and
energetic work to prevent its further
spread to uninfected localities. All the
members of the commission were present.
namely, III. b. Battle. chairman; s. l..
Patterson and j. Van Lindley They
will examine the fruit interests at South
ern Pines, and will meet with the grow
ers of that section on Saturday to fur
ther devise means to more thoroughly
extirpate the pest from various portions
of the State.

regarding the possession of the draft
that his brother had given him the KEY

TO have the drafts cashed.
To some one else he told another
story regarding the key, and added
that he had found the letters contain

THEY WON'T VOTE
President Dole and Min
lister Cooper Forget.
Personal Taxes for 1896 Should
Have Been Paid-VOte
Will be Small.

And now comes another kick from
the people who would like to register
and vote, but who cannot, because
some one with peculiar ideas put {
clause in the Constitution TO the effec
that taxes for 1896 must be paid before
January 1, 1897.
A number OF men who refrainet
from registering last time because they
believed the monarchy would be re-
stored the following week, have learn
ed to love the Government as broth
er, and intended registering as soon
as the books were opened. But now
more than half of the number find they
were not up on the Constitution OF
their taxes, and they will have to get
along for another two years without
having a voice in the selection of the
men who make the laws.
The mistake is not alone with those
who had not previously registered.
Some of the best supporters of the
Government, even men who have
" Sdg III llAC 1IAOi1,
find themselves today ineligible to
vote. For instance: If there is one
man more than another who will be
expected to step to the polling booth
and make his mark on an Australian
blanket ballot next election day, that
man is Sanford B. Dole, President of
the Republic. Mr.. Dole failed to COM
ply with the Constitution in the clause
which does not permit of procrastina-
ton, so he will "bide a Vice."
Next in order of dignitaries in the
who overlooked this lit
tie formality is Minister of Foreign At
fairs Henry E. Cooper. But in Mr..
Cooper's place there is some excuse.
During the days when people fell over
each other in getting to the tax office,
Mr. Cooper was riding on trains de
luxe in the United States, and after his
return to the Islands. Cabinet meet
ings occupied his attention until it was
too late. He thought of it once or
twice while in the States, but absence
of cable communication with the ISL
ands prevented his getting word to
friends here who might have attended
to the important matter.
These are but two of the many in
stances where men have failed to keep
in mind the wording Of the Constitu-
ton There are hundreds, no doubt,
in the military who, with the knowl-
edge that they are exempt from pay
ing poll and road tax, have neglected
paying their real or personal taxes
other than these. Death and taxes go
hand in hand when it comes to stav-
ing them off, Men whose taxes are
due and payable, have been known
to pass the tax office window at least
once a day for months without drop
ping their mite in the slot. But on the
last day, when 10 per cent added fol-
lows the next sunrise, they will pay
four bits for hack hire, so as to get
TO the office before the last horn blows.
Those are the fellows who won't vote
at the next election.
From the tax Office it is learned that
the number of persons who can exer-
else the franchise at the next election
viii be very small, and as there is no
provision made for people who forget,
the judges at the various booths will
be kept busy watching the books.

REV. ]. w. KANOA.
Aged Native Missionary Dies in
Gilbert Islands.


Gilbert Islands.
The Call of March 6, says: Rev. j..
w. Kanoa. one of the early Hawaiian
missionaries to the South Seas, Great
ed a sensation in the Gilbert group re-
Gently and soon afterwards died. On
account of his very successful work
among the natives he became well
known to missionary people through
out the world and among the congre-
gationalists in America especially.
Missionary Kanoa was so years of
age and was greatly venerated. A few
years ago he married a second time
and secured an attractive young wife.
Gossips soon commenced to talk all
over Butaritari, where Kanoa was sta
toned, and Mrs. Kanoa's conduct be-
came such that the Congregationalist
missionaries informed Kanoa that his
wife's actions were so notorious that
he must get a divorce from her. Kanoa
replied that he did not understand that
the Christian religion compelled him to
disbelieve the statement that what God
hath joined together no man must cast
asunder. He positively refused to di-
vorce his wife and said that he would
try 10 save her. The result was that
the veteran missionary, who had been
nearly so years on the islands, was
read out of the church. He started a
new church, an Independent Congre-
gational, and his influence with the ma
tives won nearly all of them over to
his side. The strain was too much,
however, for one of his advanced years,
and before his work was completed he
