Illicit Whiskey Traffic.

k:ttrell, n. c., Nov. 30,--(Special) -
Nelson Hayes, colored blacksmith,
was arrested here late yesterday by
Deputy Moore and taken to Oxford for
trial on the charge of selling liquor
without license. 1t is believed that this
will stop, or at least virtually check an
exceedingly nefariOus and demoralizng
traffic at this place. Our town authori-
ties have for several years refused to
license bar-rooms. In fact nowhere in
Vance county except in Henderson, can
whiskey lawfully be SOLD.
But despite the severest condemnation
of the respectable element in this com
munity a great deal of whiskey has all
along been sold here. This Traffic has
been especially demoralizing to the
young men and boys of Kittrell. All
good citizens must hope that this event
marks the beginning of determined
effort on the part of the United States
authorities to put an end to 1t.

Impressive Services in Observance of
the Day.

We're conducted by the rector, DIR. NJ.

DR.. Marshall spoke very briefly, only
some fifteen minutes, but his talk was
particularly enjoyable aud appropriate.
He took as his text ''Whem they were

have money to buy food for the body,

ROBBED THE GRAVE.

A startling incident, Of which Mr..
John Oliver of Philadelphia, was the
subject, is narrated by him as follows:
II was in a most dreadful condition.
My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunk
en-. tongue coated, pain continually in
back and sides, no appetite gradually
growing weaker day by day. Three
physicians had given me up. Fortunate
ly. a friend advised trying Electric Bit

1t shall be, if thou do at all forget the
Lord thy God, and walk after other
gods, and serve them, and worship them.
/ testify against you this day and We
shall surely perish As the nations
which the Lord destroyeth before your
face, so shall We perish; because We
would not be obedient unto the voice
of the Lord your God"
Commenting upon these verses Bishop
Cheshire began by saying:
THE Christian life is full and COM
plete, because it is the symmetrical devel-
opment of all that is best in man. No
duty is neglected, no opportunity is
abused, no power is misapplied."
Thanksgiving Day. he said, may not
improperly be called our secular holy
day
THE special character of our SER
vices today is not so much that we give
thanks as that we come together as
citizens and acknowledge our allegiance
as people, nation to God and our
dependence upon Him.
1T was at first proposed 10 set apart
July 4th as the day for this national
Thanksgiving, but that. day seems never
to have been acceptable to the public
mind. and finally this day was set apart
as the day for the peoples Thanks
giving"
Returning to the words of the text,
the Bishop read:
But thou says Moses, shall remem-
Der the Lord thy God, for it is he
that giveth thee wealth. This teaches
the truth that God is the source of all
temporal rs well as spiritual blessings.
Every good gift is from above. JUST
in whatsoever degree anything is good
or perfect, just III that degree is it from
Him.
but He is also the God of grace and
mercy, and thus He becomes the giyer
of spiritual blessings.
..Unless with increasing power and
wealth there be a corresponding devel-
opment of public virtue, then the pros
perity for which we give thanks on
these occasions can but bring national
corruption and hasten our ruin as
people. With temporal blessings we
must seek and obtain spiritual bless
ings
Nowhere has the world seen such in
dustrial development as i'll this country
Nowhere do the industrial classes enjoy
such prosperity. Even the laborer has
that which a few years only the very
wealthiest had and even that which often
money could not get.
Amid all these blessings let us be-
ware lest we forget the law of God.
When thou hast eaten and art full,
say not in your heart, my power and
my hand has gotten me these things.
Il do not mean TO eXaggerate, but
believe with our increasing wealth
a too great desire for money has
sprung up. There has come a desire to
get money no matter howtit is obtained
With almost every enterprise is connect
ed the memory of some great fraud.
Tco often in public office there is scan
dal and iobbery. and what is worse
still it not unfrequcntly happens that
the offender is man high up in the
church, and when detected shows little
sense of guilt.
1.-The remedy for this must be
healthy public sentiment that will frown
upon wrong doing and visit these sins
with quick and adequate punishment
Thou shalt remember the Lord thy
God-in prosperity as well as in adver-
sity.'
At the conclusion of the sermon a
collection was taken for the Thompson
Orphanage, near Charlotte.

THE JOINT SERVICE.
An Able and Interesting Sermon by
Rev. DR.. Carter.

The congregations of the Bapt st,
Presbyterian, Christian and Methodist
churches worshipped in Edenton Street
Methodist church. The spacious church
was crowded. every seat in the galleries
being occupied. The flowers about the
pulpit were beautiful and deity ar
ranged. The music was the best, the
congregation all joining in on the last
hymn:
My country It's Of thee,
Sweet land of liberty"
The first prayer was offered by Rev.
DIR. Eugene Daniel. of the Presbyterian
church, and the last by Rev Dr. NJ. W.
Butler of the Christian church.
The sermon was preached by Rev. j.
w. Garter, d. d.. pastor of the First
Baptist church. His text was:
Rev. chap. 10Th and 9th verse: cal
,leluia; for the Lord God onnlipotent
reigneth.
1t was an able and strong gospel SER
mon. full of happy illustration, and de-
livered with DIR. Carriers usual impress

the sermon with profound interest and
was greatly pleased. 1t tended TO
strengthen faith and to teach gratitude.

At the conclusion of the sermon. DR.
Norman announced that the collection
would be divided between the Presby-

THE REJOINDERS.
Speeches of Five Minutes by Each Of
the Six Contestants.

Each of the six debaters was allowed
five minrtes for rejo.nder. Mr. :. ~.
Stewart, for the affirmative, said that
the fathers never expected to see the
United States Senate passing legislation
for the benefit OF corporations AND block
ing legislation that would benefit the
people. They had mot expected dead
locks in legislatures, while legislators
wrangled over the election of a Senator
to the neglect of the States interests.
Legislating and electing a Senator are
often diametrically opposite functions,
yet one body rs expected to perform both.
The result is that a third of the Sena-
tors of today represent minority parties
in their States. The Senate as conSti-
tuted fails TO meet the needs and ccn-
dit:ons of these latter days. The pres
emit system is standing indictment of
the democratic principle of government.
The people are always ready to right
any wrong they may do, and the voice
of the people may be trusted to go for
the right in the end.

tiOnary measures can be recommend
ed. The usual methods Of curing vege-
table diseases are utterly ineffective.
A field once attacked by a particular
parasite can henceforth produce no
healthy plants subject to contamina>
ton by that parasite. Perhaps, as
DR.. Smith suggests, the disease may be
due to a disregard of one of Natures
first requirements-the rotation of
crops Year after year, the grower Of
especial crops will plant his ground
with the sar1e vegetables, until at last
the soil, besides becoming "sick," ac-
mulates a mass of decaying tissue
which constitutes an excellent culture
bed for parasites. The moral is plain
enough. The crops grown in soil still
untainted should be carefully changed
every two or three years. Contamina-
tion can be prevented only by burning
diseased plants and by exercising the
utmost care in separating the infected
vines from the hay and other crops
stored away during the winter; for SO
tenaciously do these fungi cling to life
that, if not destroyed, they will attack
the soil in the following spring with
the same deadly effect as in the pre-
vious year.-Scientifc American.
