Bishop Salter, of the African
Methodist Episcopal Church, takes
strong grounds against the kissing
habit among ministers. They are
to be allowed to kiss their wives and
mothers, but no one else He also
thinks that one wife is enough for
one preacher, but by this he doubt
less means one at a time. Still
there IS some evidence to show tina.
the suppression OF the holy kiss
causes more or. less dissa t;sfa ction
among the sisterhood of the com
munion. Reform may be neces-
sary, but it must not be 100 radical.
Abstractly, however, the counsel of
Bishop Salter is sound If he can
also suppress the kissing habit
among the sisters themselves, he
will do a good work 1t NAV be
observed, however, that the rabi,
has not suffered much dimiuurion
from the opposition of the physi-
clans, and it is doubtful whether the
Bishops will succeed where the
doctors have failed.-Courier- -FOUR

Garland Dupre, son or Hon. Lau-
rent Dupre of Opelousas, is a bril-
liant young gentleman and is
making some decidedly interesting
speeches in advocacy Of the Demo
cratic ticket in New Orleans. The
other day in the course of speech
the Young orator said:
Good made the white man. God made
the red man, but the devil made the half
breed, and there was no room for any COM
posite ticket
The Daily States proceeds to
demonstrate with Mr.. Dupre and
boldly proclaims that while
the devil has done a great deal of
mischief no one can rightfully &C
cuse him of having made the poll
teal half-breed. The States also
tells us that the devil sis a gentle
man, man of pronounced convic-
tions and a gritty fellow" With
due regard for the learning of the
States and while frankly conceding
that usually in matters of this sort
we are willing to yield to its iudg-
ment, in this particular case we are
inclined to side with Mr.. Dupre.
Mr.. DuPre has studied history and
he knows that Bezzlebub was the
first reformer of whom we have
any record, and there is reason,
founded on unimpeachable testi
mony, to believe that he is allied
to the present -reformers by ties of
consanguinity even though it be
impossible to produce at this late
day genealogical evidence establish
ing direct line Of descent. We
think Mr.. Dupre's point is well
taken and submit that the States

FOREST AND RIVER DATA.
Will be Collected for Agricultural Board
BY State Geologist.

The executive committee of the Board
Of Agriculture was in session two hours
yesterday morning.
Most of this time was consumed in
reading and discussing the new act re-
organizing the Agricultural Depart
ment. This was done that the members
of the board might familiarize them
selves with their duties under the law.
The committee passed resolution
requesting the State Geologist, in the
course of his work, to examine the
Roanoke overflow lands, with a view
to suggesting some remedy against the
usual autumnal overflow. Prof. Holmes
is also requested to get up the forest
data required to be collected by the act
creating the Department.
Both of these items really belong to
the survey instead of to the Agricultural
Department, and Prof. Holmes gladly
undertakes the work.
The committee adjourned subject to
the call of the chairman. The full
board holds its next meeting on Octo-
Der 18th.

Enfield, N. c., June 16.-(Special.)-
Mr.. Jas. III. Parker, popularity known as
Sheriff Parker, died here to-day. Mr..
Parker has been in failing health for
the past few months. Some two months

indomitable will prevailed and to the
surprise of his friends Mr.. Parker re-
covered sufficiently to drive out and
superintend the work of his farm This

guished. He was confined to his bed
but few days, when the end came
calmly and peacefully this morning.
