40 REFLECTION INTENDED.
EXPLANATION As to References to Mr.
Tai Murray and Mr.. Frank Stronach.


Tai Murray and Mr.. Frank Stronach.
Both Mr.. Frank Stronach and Mr.. Tai
Murray felt aggrieved yesterday at
references, i'm the local columns, to them
in the News and Observer, under the
headline, ELECTION Echoes"
Personally, the News and Observer is,
of course, entirely friendly towards both
of these gentlemen, and after the courte-
GUS manner in which they called the edl-
tors attention to the construction which
they and their friends put upon the story
in question, we do not feel that we should
be doing either ourselves or them justice
unless we tried to clear what was sa1d
bothof inaccuracies of statement, as well
as of any untowardness of meaning Ill
which they might, from their standpolnts,
feel unpleasant significance.
First of all, let us say that in grouping
the name of Mr.. Tai Murray, who,
though active in politics, is still "A private
citizen seeking no office, with such point
zeal company as that mentioned yester-
day. he was put in light perhaps justly
unpleasant to him, though such was not
the intention.
What was written about Mr.. Stronach
had been Il Jealous leader. and, with the
personal color given to it by him, we
should prefer, feeling as we do toward
Mr. Strona,ch. that the treatment should
have been conceived differently.
As to the inaccuracies, we would say
that in the reference to Mr.. Stronach.
the News and Observer was in error III
two particulars The Democratic party
Il, ffnys sfS. 4.
est defeat under Mr. Stronac chs chair
manship, the majority last year having
been larger than it was two years ago,
when he was chairman. Moreover, 1t is
possible to get the wrong impression from
the words touching upon his chairman
ship, as of course, no one. not even the
writer of THE article, ever thought of the
failure of Mr.. Stronach's efforts as
county chairman otherwise than as the
fortunes of political warfare.
Also, he was elected alderman while
County Chairman, and not after he had
given up the latter position, as was erro'
neously stated. a.> ga >3s. -.t. :. 4-z.
Mr.. Stronach says he did not vote for
Mckinley at the last election, as might
have been inferred from the, reference to
his conversion to Mckinleyism. ~ --
We are as anxious for our own sake,
as for the sake of the two gentlemen
mentioned, to be just, and in order to
meet them half way in the amicabe
spirit that characterized their wishes. we
gladly make the amende honorable, as we
always. under such circumstances, stand
ready to do.
And word nrorein doing this we
would make no reflection upon
the writer of the article who
is as prompt as we to make
proper explanation where such is due,
and whose judgment. If lacking in the
fatal fault of infallibiity. is at least ac-
companied by desire to deal fairly even
when political warmth would sometimes
give greater impetus to words than be-
longs To them after the battle.

be changed, and it would be just as polite
TO make them public now as Friday night.

MEETING AT EDENTON STREET
The Interest Deep and Several Conver
sions Have Already Resulted.

The interest in the meeting at Edenton
Street Methodist church grows as the
meeting progresses Last night quite n
number went forward for prayer and
already several have professed conversion
under the able preaching of DIR. Norman.
Last night he preached a strong but
simple gospel sermon, taking as his text
part of the 10th verse of the 18th chap
ter of Matthew: "And the door was shut
During the course of his sermon he
drew the following lessons from these
words, which are contained in the parable
of the ten foolish virgins at the marriage
feast:
/. The persons against whom the door
was shut had expected to come in to the
marriage feast. They had prepared to do
So Everybody expects to go to heaven
to the marriage supper of the Lamb.
But delay, is hazardous, and with every
postponement the heart is becoming har-
! der.
.. These persons had deceived them
selves as to the kind of preparation they
should make for the marriage supper.
You have sinned and good resolves Will
not do, you've got to have forgiving
| grace. There's nothing but the grace of
God that will wash away the stains from
your heart. Then you will lOath sin and
love virtue.
3. These persons let their opportunity
for preparation pass by unimproved.
There are too many who are letting all
the opportunities of life slip through
their fingers. Too late they seek to i'm
prove them and they find the door is shut.
The soul that thus goes to God, after neg
lecting every opportunity, can but say
in that awful day, 1.-The sentence is just"

the poorest census-taker in North Caro-

statistics and the niger births,
and to-day it is impossible to ascertain
whether or not during the decade, the
statistics of which he took, there were
more puppies or niger babies born in
that Wayne county township.
From this Mr.. Morris dropped easily
into discussion of the present Governor.

man." he said, but not a cultured man.
He has a certain scintiliating brilliancy,
but he hasn't a particle of judgment.
He can say hard, sharp things that will

holds them. He goes back on his friends.
