We met yesterday an intelligent,
worthy representative North Carolina
farmer. He was a g~reenbacker, had
been a follower of Butler, but was for
democratic success and a white mans
government, and was heart and soul
with the democracy in their fight for
the ov erthrow of negro rule in North
Carolina. He told us he OOn found
out how insincere and selfish were
Butler and other leaders, and he would
not follow them. He said unfOrtun-
ately the great mass of populists were
blinded and deceived and did not pen
citrate the baseness of the Butler tribe.
He said: do not be o sanguine Of
Success. Some Of the populists will vote
with democrats for a White Mans gor
eminent. But it will take a plenty Of
hard fighting to whip tie combination.
Work hard is the way to win" This
is sound talk, patriotic talk, a true
white mans talk. We were glad to
shake his honest hand.

INCREASING INTEREST.
Rev w. B. Riley breaches Again With
Great Effect.

Rev. w. B. Riley spoke at the Con-
gregational church Tuesday at $3.50
o. m. on ''The Need of Revival" in
which was clearly shown from Bible
page and the history of the church
that revived Lying church is the
normal condition of true church of
Christ. And all Christians would re-
joice in a church that was full of life.
This was delightful task, and is the
presage of what these afternoon
meetings at the Congregational
church are to be. None can afford to
miss them, every afternoon at $3.50
p. m.
The evening service at the Baptist
church exceeded expectations in at
tendance and interest. There were
but a very few empty chairs. Mr..
Riley spoke with unusual force and
tenderness. Often the handkerchiefs
went to the eyes of his auditors as he
unfolded the theme of confessing
Christ, showing:
First--That the public confession
Of Christ was most reasonable re-
quirement. That science and medi-
cine, wheneve they find new
discovery publish it. How much more
the Christian when he has found
salvation to his soul. Secoud-That
confessing Christ is an essential and
necessary act. Only thus does a man
prove his genuineness. The secrecy OF
the secret follower detracts from the
force of character and influence.
Third-It is Gods immediate de-
mand. Here again the speaker I'M

open confession of Christ as some.
