DR.. E. A. Alderman, the young,


it is his duty to leave North Caro-
lima, however fattering the call to
Tulane University may be. The
University of North Carolina is the
greatest University of the South,
and it should be able to hold in it's
service the ablest educators we have
produced in the State. If, however,
DR.. Alderman should leave us, We
trust that within a few years at least
he will return to us as DR.. Winston
has.
A subscriber writes us to know if
it is fact that the registrars under
the present election law are not re-
quired to take any oath to be fair
and honest in registering voters and
to do their duty in that capacity.
In answer we state that there is no
provision IN the present election law
requiring the registrars to take an
oath to perform honestly and con-
scientiously their duty as registrars.
Further than that, Senator Franks
offered an amendment when the last
Legislature was in session providing
that the registrars should be sworn,
and the Simmons machine sent in to
the legislature it's orders that that
amendment must be voted down,
and it was voted down. But even
If the registrars were required to
take an oath under the present law
it would do but little good, because
he can steal and cheat according to
the provisions of the letter of the law.
In fact, the purpose of this election
law is to legalize stealing and fraud.

together. We know that members
of the Peoples Party as a rule have
no extra money to spare and that
therefore it Is quite tax on dele
gates from distance to attend. We
trust, however, that in distant coun-
ties where all the delegates cannot
attend on account of the expense,
that they will all club together and
pay the expenses of one or more so
that the county may be justly repre-
scented.

4 BARN BURNING RECALLED.
But One of the Gibbons Family
Living and He is in Jail.
1frs. Annie SettZ, Last But One or
the Family Died Ihursduy---
Nov "incnJ ~ Have w.
,aDoans Pac-
WA don Il.

The death Of Mrs. Annie Seitz, which
occurred at du Points Banks on Thurs
day morning, leaves living but one of
the Gibbons family, and brings to mind
the celebrated du Pont barn burning
esiscs.
William j. Gibbons who is now an in
mate Of New Castle Jail, is the only
member of the family now living.
9N During the early part Of the year 1891,
several barns belonging to the du Points
wexe destroyed by fire and while ut
first it was not thought to be of an in
eidiary origin yet, when the fires be-
dame of 30 frequent occurrance suspicion
WAS aroused.
This coupled with the fact that several
threatening letters had been written to
the du Points led to an investigation w
the du Points themselves who employed
New York detectives for that purpose.
Uhe matter eliminated during the close
Of the year 1891 In the arrest of Edward
CLARK and wife; son Joseph and Viii
ham J. Gibbons.
They were tried for the offense and
convicted. Clark WAS sentenced to serve
seven years; his wife got eight years. son
Joseph three years and Gibbons ten
years.
Since Gibbons has been in Jail his
mother, sister Margaret, brother Charles
and now his sister Annie have died. thus
leaving him the only living member Of
the family.
Gibbons is about 9S years of age and
his term will expire in January, 1902.
Mrs. .,eitz was about 40 years of age.
People who reside at du Points Banks
md are thoroughly conversant with the
affair all seem to be of one accord
that the Clarks led Gibbons who was a
dissolute character, into it. Several of
the older residents in conversation with
representative of The Sun last night
said it was the prevailing opinion that
Gibbons had suffered enough and that
1t was manifest that movement would
be started, in the near future, to en-
deayor to have him pardoned.

REV. FREUND LECTURES.
NewPastor of Hanover Church Made
an Excellent Impression.

The newly elected pastor, Rev. VIII
liam l.. Freund of Hanover Presbyter-
ian Church, delivered a preparatory lee
ture last evening at the church for the
communion of the Lords Supper which
will be held tomorrow.
Rev. Freund delivered short but in
teresting lecture. In his remarks he
said in part: "There are four ways in
which God exercises us, in grace, prayer,
baptism and the Lords Supper. If We
exercise ourselves in the Bible we gain
more of clear strength of what God is
and what his powerful doings are to
the soul. Some people say they cannot
pray unless they are in trouble or have
no friends, that is not prayer 1t is sham.
A prayer must come from the heart and
have whole soul meaning to 1t.
"Wnen we take the Lords Supper we
are eating Christ and drinking his blood.
Christ said when he was crucifed eat
my body for bread and drink my blood
for wine.
IF you leave a drop of water ON steel
it rusts, If you leave sin on the heart
it arises and brings corruption.
ave discover in every communion we
attend that we do not give enough up.
Christ gave up his life for u.s."
The pastor made an excellent impress
sion.
