BISHOP FOWLER


Delivered his Famous Lecture on Abra-
ham Lincoln saturday Evening TO a
I Large Audience MaBI OF our People
Meet the Distinguished Fisifor--Dr.
and Mrs. Cameron Entertain In bis
Honor.
Bishop Fowler sustained well bis
reputation as great orator in his
magnificent lecture on Abraham
Lincoln, at the Methodist Episcopal
church on last saturday night. The
Bishop has commanding presence,
graceful manner and most pleas
ing voice. These made two-hour
speech from him interesting and en-
PERTAINING to the end. Besides he
handled his subject with masters
skill.
He presented picture of the sit
uation at the beginning Of Lincoln's
administration to show what great
difficulties he had to contend with
as president Then he presented
the character of the hartyred presi-
dent in most eloquent eulogium
He had, the speaker said, a phys
zeal construction of iron that made
it possible for him to stand the
strain of long hours of continual la
Dor on matters Of state; h.. had that
rare common sense so very uncom
mon; he had tact so useful that he
could manage when others would
have failed; sincerity SO deep that
no one could charge him with duplic-
ity; a devotion to the Union so great
that he would suffer even personal
insu in silence, If he could thus do
good to the Union; an insigh OF
such penetration that he coald
pierce to the very heart Of a matter
at once; power and felicity Of
statement so wonderful that his
words carried conviction at once;
such skill and diplomacy that even
the veteran Seward acknowledged
him master; an honesty so un-
impeachable that no one ever ques
| toned it,; reverence for God so
humble that he acknowledged him
self always guided by him; and such
confidence in the overruling provi
dcnce Of God that he spent many
hours on his knees in prayer
He,was like one Of the old proph
cts; man who felt that he was
sent into the world to do great
work and who gave himself heart
and soul to the accomplishment of
the great task.
For two long hours the large au
dience hung upon the words of the
speaker as il no syllable should be
allowed to escape them. 1t is long
sice such a lecturer has delighted a
Morgantown audience.
No services were held at any Of the
churches in town Sunday night in or
der to allow the members of the var
ious congregations to attend the one
to b. held at the commencement hall
by the Bishop. The weather was
very bad and the attendance was not
as good as the event would have called
out had the conditions been different.
i However there was d very large crowd
present. Rev. A. NJ. Buchanan led
in prayer, Mr.. George w. Atkinson,
Jr., sang very beautiful solo, and
Dr. Cameron introduced the Bishop
who delivered very powerful address
with the 18th verse Of the 5Sth Psalm
as his text The sermon was Il mas
terpieee of word painting and held
the audience spell bound for an hour
and five minutes. They were sorry
when the close of the treat came and
only regretted that it did not last
longer. 1t was the most notable SER
mon ever delivered in the town ard
those who missed it failed to take adj
vantage of the opportunity Of getting

Mr.. BROWN MAKES
A STRONG CASE.
II Will Probably Be a Test in the
Tax Controversy.
WILL ASK FOR A MANDAMUS.
The Property Holder Says There are
Two Grounds Upon Which lilo Bas-
es His Refusal TO Pay the $500
Fec 90 the Clerk.

Mr.. Leroy Brown, OF the well-known
real estate firm OF J. Thompson Brown
& Co., has instituted legal proceedings
which will doubtless prove a valuable test
case for many property holders whose
taxes have not been paid and who bid
fair to become victims OF the specializing
syndicate who are trying to make what
ever they can in a financial way out Of
the recent law passed by the Legislature
OF Virginia IN regard TO delinquent
property. Readers OF this paper are IA

DECLINED TO PAY THE FEE.
Mr.. Brown purchased a piece OF prop
erty on Franklin street in 1893. He did
not know that the taxes on II were quo
until this controversary came up. When
he purchased the property. he. OF course.
had TO assume the taxes due on H. lie

Gently the notices were served on him, ous
he had Offered TO pay the taxes before
that time. The clerk refused 10 take me
amount without the s. extra when zen
due according 20 the legislative act Ihis
Mr. Brown declined 10 pay His retusal
was based upon two reasons.
First. no notice had been given 70 tne
present owners 90 whom ne solo tne
property. or the succeeding owners
Secondly. the notice itself was eFroh-
eous in two or three allegations.
A STRONG CASE.
A mandamus would probably have been
issued yesterday. but counsel for the
Roanoke syndicate telegraphed 70 post
none the matter until this week This
request was granted out Of professional
courtesy and counsel FOR Mr.. Brown. who
is Mr.. wallace f. Brown. Will wait until
some time this week before petitioning
for the mandamus II is not settled yet
whether the case will be heard in Rich
mond or at Wytheville. IL IS understood
however. that Mr.. Brown has a strong
case. and II Is believed the petition Tor a
mandamus will be granted.
There are a large number Of similar
cases in Richmond and elsewhere
throughout the State that would come
