ENSLAVED.
Modern Instances in the Present-Day
Civilization where We Are
Under BONDAGE.

Here are TWO or three historical facts
which throw significant light upon
our American growth.
4 century and half ago, Edmund
Burke, describing the province Of Penn
sylyania, said;
The produce of this great colony is
brought to market by thousands of
RATS on water and huge wagons on
land
The farmers who had TO use these
slow methods of transportation were,
as a rule, Germans and Seotch-Irish-
men, who had come TO the wilderness
for freedom to earn their bread and TO
worship God in their own way. They
were honest citizens, kind neighbors,
faithful servants of God. Their lives
were bare and hard, but their aims
were high.
Half century later the novelist.
Charles Brockden Brown. tells of the
lighting of X, one of the principal
towns of this province, by 20 oil lamps.
IN walking through the avenue" lie
says, Il beheld a sight enchanting and
splendid The starry lamps and blaz-
ing cressets bore the aspect of magic
and miracle
Another half century passes, and the
historian Ward jeers at the novelist S
delight and tells of the rows of gas
lamps, and the telegraph and the rail-
ways which mark the advance of civil
ization in our little burgh, and put its
old condition 10 shame
In this town electric lights now dull
the yellow gas-lamps, and electric mo-
tors have taken on most OF the burdens
of the steam engines. Every Fourth of

cites these proofs Of the progress of the

The writer listened with interest to
a conversation between Thomas Rol-
Inns. of Madison county, and Dan
Hugh Mclean, of Harnett. Rollins, a
very frank-speaking n intelligent
young man, said he believed that the
Ninth district would give 1,200 to 1,500
majority against the franchise amend
ment, leaving out Mitchell county. He
said the republicans were making
strenuous efforts there to array the
Door man against it; that the negro
question was not felt there as an is
sue, as it was in the east; hat he ex-
pected the democrats to make their
gains in the east and in the other
sections where negroes were numerous;
admitted that in several townships in
Madison negroes were not permitted to
live, and that this had always been
the case in parts of Mitchell county
He admitted hat the conditions were
not the same il the extreme west as
in the east. Mclean told Rollins he
had never in his life met a franker-
speaking republican, and then went on
to speak of the apathy among the ne
groes in the state, saying 10000 of
them would not vote. Mclean is a
man of marked observation and acute
ness. He told Rollins there was no
possible doubt of the carrying of the
amendment and agreed with his gen.
eraI conclusions. T. A. OLDS.

DIR. BLACKWELL ON MORMONS.
Preached a ForcibIe Sermon on ''Mor-
monism, or the Romance of %Supersti-
tion," Sunday Night.

Rev. Calvin S. Blackwell, d. D.. was
greeted by a very large audience at
the First Baptist church Sunday night.
when according to previous announce
ment he preached on "Mormonism. or
the Romance of Superstition" 1t was
a very forcible sermon and has been
accorded many compliments.
The discourse was prefaced with a
brief reference to the rapid spread Of
the diabolical Norman teachings
through all parts of the United States
and especially to the work of Mormon
missionaries in this immediate section.
DR.. Blackwell said that he went
down to the Greenville Baptist church
Sunday afternoon and delivered a ser
mon against the Mormons. Announce
ment had been made in advance and
he was expected to come down on the
afternoon SeacoaSt train, but he drove
down by private conveyance instead.
When the SeacoaSt train stopped at the
Greenville station a number of the
converts of the Norman faith were
there through curiosity to see DIR.
Blackwell get off, and when they dis
covered that he was not on the train
at all they boosted loudly that no
preacher would dare come out there to
speak against them.
DR.. Blackwell said that each year
the emissaries of the Mormons are
growing more aggressive and he fully
believed that for at least the next
quarter OF a century % per cent. of all
the contributions of the Christian
church for the spread of the gospel
would have to be expended in coun-
.teracting the work of these Mormon
missionaries.
In the course of the sermon DR..
Blackwell reviewed Interestingly the
origin and growth of the Mormon faith,
pointed out forcibly it's most hurtful
doctrines and also the shortcomings of
its founders and promoters.

honor of the arrival of friends from

Spaniards were celebrating the death
of Antonio Maceo, and a mob, led by
the mayor, attacked the house and de-
manded the expulsion of the offenders.
Captain Particle interviewed and re-
stored order for the time being, but
the mob returned daily until today,
when the Spaniards, fearing violence,
came to Santiago. The S~paniards be-
