Christian EndeavOr Notes.

STATE CONVENTION TO BE HELD IN SAILS
Everything is in readiness for the
tian Endeavors for North Carolina
which convenes in Salisbury April
21st-23rd.
Our Salisbury friends are ready for
us and are anxious for as many Chris
tian Endeavors land others who are
interested in this organization and
desire to know more about it) as pos
sible to attend the convention. The
program will be interesting and help
full and Secretary Baer's presence will
add much to the success of the con-
vention. Every effort is being made
to have this convention known as the
''convention of prayer" and we be-
lieve that it will be. We have reason
to thank God that Christian Endeavor
stands pre-eminently for devotion to
Christ, loyalty to ones own denomi-
nation and INSTRUMENTATION fell
lowship. In the spirit of the motto:
Zone is your Master, even Christ; and
all we are BRETHREN" this society is
doing more than any other agency to
draw the denomination of Christdom
together and thus is answering the
prayer Of our Lord and Saviour s'that
they all may be one" The spiritual
element of Christian Endeavor, that
which tends to develop the spiritual
life of Christians and lead the unsaved
to Christ, has never been superseded
by anything else and the blessing of
God has rested upon the organization
from the first. Let us thank God
that Christian Endeavor has never
drifted into mere literary and social
club, but that it stands only ''for
Christ and the church.
Let us consider few facts of i'm
portance in this connections: The
first Christian Endeavor society was
organized in Williston Congregational
church in Portland, Maine, February,
1881, by Rev. Francis f. Clark, then
pastor of that church but now presi-
dent of the United Society of Chris
tian Endeavor. From this small be-
ginning in IS years the society has
grown from one to more than $4,000,
with total membership of more
than 100000. 1t is found in all
Protestant denominations and in
almost, if not quite all, lands where
Christianity has reached. 1t is a
mistaken idea to think that Christian
Endeavor stands for one church more
than another for it has from the first
been Observation-Disclosures.
In North Carolina we have from
four to five thousand members Of this
society, and these are doing noble
work for Christ. In this State there
are probably many who know some
thing of the Christian Endeavor
society and desire to know more of it,
let these come to Salisbury for, by
attending the convention, more in
formation can be obtained about the
society than in any other way.
The secular press in all parts of
the State have given us liberal space
for notices which we appreciate. And
the railroads have given US the usual
reduction on tickets, little less than
one and one-third, and we appreciate
this also. The tickets are on sale
April 18th. goth and 21st, the final
limit is April 25th.
Nav this convention be the best. in
the true sense of the word, North
Carolina has ever known and NAV
Gods richest blessing rest upon all
who attend.

Even had they not spoken, the charge
that man sane enough to run at large
would attempt to commit capital crime in
plain sight of five people, and in clear ear
shot of fortysix people working upstairs,
with all doors open, is its own refutation.
The result is that the girl has been tried
for perjury before a magistrate and bound
over under justified bond to court. A
clearer, if as clear, case ofperjury was never
tried in North Carolina and it is hard to
see how even in Vance county, with its no
tOrious miscarriages of justice, how she can
escape her Just deserts, the penitentisry.
Except her own immediate family, the
negroes at this place, knowing the clIarac-
ter of the girl and that of the young man
and all the circumstances as well as the
immemorial attitude of our whole family
towards their race, are on our side as much
as they dare be. But the negroes else
where in the county, excited by Eaton's
incendiary speech at the perjury trial,
threaten with death all who testify against
the girl.
Our party was fired on while returning
at night from the perjury trial in Hender-
SON. The blind, indiscriminating rage of
the negroes is growing and bids fair to cul
inmate in violence if the girl receives JUS

do not see how we can fail Of white sup
port enough to prevent complete frns:ra-
ton of the trial by the intimidation OF

four of us and we are resolved to vindicate
our honor though our lives pay the forfeit.
This marks u new departure in negro
strategy. 1t inaugurates reckless attempt
to throw the odium of rape under which
their race rests back upon white men. II
is their avowed aim and policy to rake up,

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects Of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co. illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening 1axa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently It's perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
remember the full name of the Company

New York, June 29.-Now that rains
have been pretty general where needed in
the South, it is quite likely that the cotton
market will experience a period of quiet
except in the event of damage of some
kind, which appears to be the only hope
for the bulls at present. 1t is admitted
that June conditions are nearly always
bright and that more critical period
now confronts the crop. The friends of
cotton now declare that the most perfect
conditions from now up to August 10 are
not likely to disturb values further, having
all been fully discounted. Bears are look
ing for lower market, in the long run.
but are exercising more caution than ex-
pected, bearing in mind that the crop may
experience a decided setback at any time.
