About 100 feet from the entrance the visitor is confronted with a regular for est of trees from eight to ten feet in heig ght, the branches and leaves being almost as perfect US in a natural forest.

the calling out of the State Guard.
They met here by agreement to confer
together and also to see the Governor
and the Adjutant General. In the first
place they wanted to find out something
about when they would be called out
and in what way the call would come
for individual volunteers or for the or
ganized companies of the Guard. An
other question that they wanted settled
was whether or not, if called as an or
ganized body of men, the present Off
GERS would retain their rank and commits
sions or be4supplanted by United States
army officers.
And lastly they wanted to find out
something about who would be in COM
mand as Brigadier General. They are
in favor of North Carolinian, and if
an outsider is put in command it is
doubtful whether many of the men will
respond to the call.

Professor Flynn, of the South Carolina

CDR. Thornwell took his audience with
him to Great Britain. They saw the
sights and celebrities together; laughed,
wondered, and Toasted together. The
wit. fancy, and humor that come and go
throughout are not forced, but the nat

of the western sun. Any audience that

sensations of beauty; made merry aud

Gen Leroy Youmans, the silver-tongued
orator of South Carolina. thus writes:
Intensely interesting throughout, it
was not only replete with instruction.
but redolent with pathos and humOr,
original and of Il rare order. The enjoy
ment of the audience was such that the
speaker was compelled by them to eX-
tend the time, to their manifest delight"
DR.. Pue, president of the South Caro-

Col. McMaster, of Columbia, says
after the lecturer had spoken a few

flashes of humor which riveted the atten-
ton of the whole audience. Soon there
were commissions Of laughter. and the
speaker had to pause to allow the cachi-

FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
The Financial Report for the Past
Church Year.

Raleigh correspondent of the North
Carolina Presbyterian furnishes the fol
lowing which will interest all Raleigh
readers.
'.'The financial reports of the First
PRESBYTERIAN church of Raleigh, for the
wear ending March 31st, were read to the
congregation on Wednesday evening.
THE past year has been a notable one
in the history of this church. The CON
rregation has erected, during the year
the Sunday school portion of the new
church building at a cost of about ten
thousand dollars, and which is free OF
debt. This has been done without in
terfering with the regular work of the
church. About a year ago the deacons.
with approval of the session, prepared a
plan by which the entire amount requir-
ed for salaries, current expenses. church
charity fund, and the appointments to
this church for missions and other causes
amounting in alto nearly $1,000, Should
be raised by voluntary promises from the
individual members of the congregation,
to make % weekly payments through en-
velops furnished for the purpose. These
pledges ranged from ten cents to two
dollars per week, the deacons promls-
ing that if the subscribers would regl-
larly make the payments as promised,
that the church treasurer would meet
every demand upon the church as it be-
came due, that no appeal or collec-
ton would be made during the year for
the causes named. and that special gifts
would be forwarded as extra contribu-
tons. TO carry out the plan required
work in order to secure success.
''As might have been expected, the
result was watched with some fear that
missions or some other cause might suf-
fer, and not receive the full apportion-
ment. When the reports were read, in
which the treasurer stated that the pas
tor had been paid semi-monthly, that all
expenses had been paid promptly, and
that every apportionment for all the
causes had been paid in full, it is not
surprising that a proposition from the
pastors and treasurers. that Il thank Of
fering be made. and that a contribution
he taken at once for the orphanage at
Barium Springs. was literally seconded
by the congregation.

ing financial plans for completing the
church building in time for entertain
