II was a very large congregation that
assembled in the Presbyterian church
at Faison last Sabbath morning TO
participate in the dedication services
which had been announced for fnat
date. Besides the usual congregation
there were many visitors from Clinton.
Warsaw. Mt Olive anG the surrounding
country.
Tho opening exercises were
by the pastor. the Rev. =. Mcintyre.
assisted by the Rev. Q. w. McAi.lan.
OF Kenansville. The pastor gave an
account Of the building OF the church
which IS now complete and entirely
free from debt.

equipped with a great store OF Facts
concerning the early history OF this
country. He should publish a work on
this subject.
Standing in the midst OF the elders
and deacons the pastor in a few brief
sentences, solemnly dedicated the
church TO the worship and service OF

The news from South Africa reads
curiously. Take the headlines in yes
terday's Messenger: Beers more ac-
tive. Roberts communication threaten
ed. British fortifying BlOemfontein.
Soldiers sleeping in trenches. Women
and children ordered from the city
British ~evacuate Rouxville." Then we
have farther mentioned that the Beers
have occupied Riddersburg. 1t is sus-
pected that the Beers mean to seize
the bridge over Orange river which
might force Lord Roberts to retreat
from Bloemfontein and so on. Strange
reading that in the light of much re-
cent British b~oastings and prophecies.
The Amazing Activity of the Beers"
is another headline. We learn else
where that the Boer line is now eighty
miles long and that they are strongly
posted southwark to Jagersfontein-
that Roberts difficulties multiply-that
the British admit that the Beers have
gained a tactical success, etc. The Lon
o Times publishes a rather sarcas-
tic editorial concerning the story of
fSeuueISDuTS. we Sopy Ills"
THE particulars our special CORE
spondent at Bloemfontein sends of the
reverse suffered near Reddersburg on
Wednesday must confirm, we are
afraid, the impression produced by so
many previous incidents during the
war. 1t is of course satisfactory to
know that our men did not surrender
until surrender was the only course
open to, them, but at present 1T is I'M

in such a trap, and driven into an in
defensible position by a force which
Lord Roberts says is estimated at $500
strong, with five guns, but which our
correspondent puts at 5000, adding that
the Beers were reinforced on Thurs
day.
How is it the enemy is to mus
ter and move such a force between the
army of Lord Roberts and that of Cen
eral Gatacre with impunity and ap-
parently without detection until our
men blunder into them"

STRIKING OBJECT LESSON FOR
THE TIMES.

Our readers have been informed of
the negro named Cotton who escaped
from the jail in Portsmouth, Va, while
under sentence of death for a dreadful
murder. He fed TO North Carolina and
found a place Of refuge with a negro
in Northampton county. This fact haS
been mmente upon in
Of our state. This leads the Windsor
(Bertie county, Ledger, published nea
by the protecting negro, to say this:
THE negro who furnished him a hid
ing place is a leading republican poll
tician in Northampton county and was
a candidate for justice of the peace in
the last election. This illustrates the
negro character. He has a perfect dis
regard for the Jaw. With him the
vicious and the criminal stand as we'll
az the best. The returned convict is
welcomed to perfect social equality. 1t
is only when one negro does something
to another negro they will assist in
bringing him to justice. The North
ampton negro is about like the BERTHE
negro. In the last campaign we had
some negro candidates. Before then
we had some in office. Several of the
office-holders have broker in the pen
itentiary and several have run away"
1t publishes the names of five Off
Gals all negroes, in BERTHE county, who
have beer arrested and duly tried and
convicted of stealing or other crimes.
1t is SO common with negro officials to
embeZzle hat ii has become an old
song, and II is expected to continue if
time and opportunity are suspicious.
The following from The Ledger is il
Illustrating:
Luther Wynns, a negro postmaster,
is in the federal prison for stealing
postoffice money.
Daniel Baker, a negro preacher
school teacher, was indicted and con-
victed of embezzlement of public
funds.
Cicero C~apehart, a negro constable,
was convicted of stealing cotton and
was permitted to escape by a negro
jailer who is now under indictment
for it.
"Armistead Wilson, a negro justice
of the peace was indicted and plead
guilty to disposing of mortgaged prop
erty."
There are others of the same kidney
who betrayed their trusts. Eastern
Carolina has been cursed with jusl
such officials. Bumptious George got
many negroes appointed by supple and
obliging Mckinley to postmasterships
in Eastern Carolina. We believe some
five of the appointees have been caught
stealing. And yet the black republican
party today is moving earth and the
satanic regions to get the whites in
thirty or more counties in North Car
DINA under the control, the rule and
ruin despotism of negro officials. The
white man who deliberately seeks to
restore North Carolina to black SUI
premacy is both a traitor to his race,
his state and his kindred and friends.
1t is a very dirty bird who befouls his
own nest
