. FINE ESTIMATE OF A NOBLE
MAN.

We read with exceeding interest last
Saturday a contribution in that able
newspaper at Columbia. s. g. the
State, and Endorsed by the editor as
from the pen Of lone of our most hon-
ored citizens" We at once marked it
for future reference n use. 1t is the
production evidently Of a We'll discip-
mind, cultured and candid. 1t is
so excellent throughout it is difficult
to omit any part. 1t is the portrait OF
our most gifted candidate for governor,
and it is drawn by an artist who knows
how to blend his colors, to draw from
the life, and to give us a lively likeness
of a true man in all of his lineaments.
1t is a study from nature, by n who
has known the subject from youth and
with whom he has been closely asso-
ciated. 1t is an admirable portrayal all
the way through, and withal is so
faithful, so true, so masculine, so ex-
act we give it our heartiest endorse
ment. Writing thus far, we turn to an
editorial in the Charlotte Observer Of
Saturday, and find the praise
OF the p"rOOuCClOn OIL d COlieSe-Mdte,
quite as satisfying to ourselves as is
what we have written above. In addi-
ton the editor presents an estimate Of
Mr.. Aycock. AS we gave our own view
of him so soon as we learned of his
nomination, we do not restate it here.
The Observer we'll says:
I'VE have seen nowhere so ccurate
an analysis Of the character, or a juster
statement regarding the mental quail
ties, of Mr.. Aycock, than are to be
found in the foregoing. Clearly the
article was written by one who knows
him well, and whose conservatism does
not permit him to over-state his sub
ject's virtues and abilities. For ten
years this nan has been growing upon
the confidence and the admiration Of
the people Of the state until his party
has, as with one voice, called him to the
executive office. There was not influ-
enc enough on earth to have prevent
ed his nomination by the convention at
Raleigh on the 18th, because the popu-
lar heart had long 6 singled him out
for the g~overnorship his ear n he
will be swept into that office in August
by an irresistible tide. Personally
there is no finer character"

COLONEL ROGER MOORE.

We wish to supplement the announce |
ment of the death Of this very promi-
nent and devoted Wimingtonian by a
personal reference to his worth This
writer knew him for nearly a quarter
Of a century, but after he united with
the Methodist E. church, some twelve
a ago. he knew him with more OF
intimacy. We have been with him in
many religious meetings. in which he
took part, and have he'd the pleasure
Of enjoying the Inequalities Of his kind
home On several occasions. The more
We saw OF him INC the better we un-
derstood his true nature, the more we
esteemed him and the more elevated
his character appeared
Colonel Moore was physically q brave
man. His splendid services in behalf
of the great cause of the south in the
second war for independence how
-conspicuously hat fact. He was a
public spirited citizen A gentleman
of more than seventy years who had
known him from boyhood, said to US
yesterday, that Colonel Moore was the
most public spirited man but one he
had known in this city. He vas a
sincere man in his friendship. He was
a generous man, responding literally to
such calls as came to him that appeal
ed to his sound judgment. He was
honest and faithful in his religious pro-
fession. He mellowed with years in
his life of faith in the Son of God.
Within a month at a religious gather
ing at a private home, We heard him
hay, after others had spoken of what
Christ had done for them-"God has
done more for me than for all of you.
He spared me in my great sins against
him for fifty years and hen saved
me-" His other remarks gave assur-
ance that he was peace with God
and had the bless.d gertrude that
all was we'll as to his future state.
Within ten days, and the last time we
saw him, he offered a public prayer in
the great congregation that was full OF
tenderness and spiritual light and pow
er. But he is zone. Suddenly he is
summoned to leave family and friends
n all that was dear to him here, but
he was ready. We may not doubt, we
cannot doubt, that all is we'll with the
brave soul and true hero, who gave
all his best to God, that he has passed
through glory's morning gate" and
may be now, "murmuring his heavenly
hymn" for the first time among the
angels and the redeemed spirits. Any
who knew him we'll Is they press
around the graves dark rim," may
take hope that the immortal spirit is
not there but has already entered into
those mansions prepared by the Risen
| Lord and where the Son of God himself
is. Wilmington has lost one of it's very
best n most distinguished citizens,
the church has lost a faithful disciple,
the state has been bereaved of one Of
it's noblest heroes, and heaven has been
enriched by the coming of another soul
saved by grace.

A big effort to drop w. J. Bryan is on
now. The CIevelandites are In for it.
All who voted for Mckinley in 1896 are
decidedly favorable to dropping Bryan
and putting up a weaker man. II
Bryan ANN defeat Mckinley then no
goldbug democrat can possibly defeat
him, and for h plain reason he would
not receive two-thirds Of the Bryan
vcse. Bryan received a greatly larger
vote in 1896, than Cleveland ever re-
ceived. If Bryan cannot be elected then
it will be owing to democratic and pop-
ulist desertion, and the power of money
Hanna asks Of the trusts for 500. 600

ing to MAKE Bryan a sick man. but he
denies IT,.

In our first study of Hebrews Alp,
we wrote of n of the three several
motives calculated so we'll to move
men, to influence men. We considered
briefly Gods word. The second motive
Is given in the 18th verse. God know
ing all things-His perfect omniscience.
We read: Neither is there any crea-
tUe that is not manifest in His sight;
but all things are naked and opened
unto the eyes OF Him with whom we
have to do" How prone men are to
forget God so completely that they lose
sight of the fact that all they do and
;EzU and think are known unto Him
perfectly. God is precisely like the
word of God upon which we dwelt last
Sunday. for He too like His own word
is a discerner of the thoughts and in
tents of the heart" He knows you
through and through, from start to
finish, completely, exactly, unfailing-
ly- All that you have been or are now
ror viii be is thoroughly manifest unto
the God who made you. Nothing is
aid from His all-seeing eyes, and His
comprehension. No being ever made

= second. All they do or purpose is
manifest unto Him, for all things are
naked and opened unto the eyes of
Him with whom we have to do" Let
us not forget that great truth. 1t is
To this ~all-knowing, a~ll-seeing GOO
that all of us must give an account

Jehovah. Here is warning indeed for
all to consider and heed. 1t is surely
enough it. would seem to keep
all the children of men on an unbroken
watch, that they be not overtaken and
seduced by the Evil One and be made
captive at his will. 1t should so in1u-
ence all as to keep all processing Chris
tians On the alert lest they should fall
Into great temptation and be allured
Into a condition of open sin as we'll as
secret unbelief. In order hat men may
be saved according to the sure, iner-
rant word of God they must be genu>
kne believers in Christ, true disciples,
walking in constant obedience and
striving to enter in with unbroken te-
nacity and perseverance. God sees
men just as they are, and will treat
them according to the works don in
the body in this life of trial. They may
deceive others, and, possibly m a de-
ceive themselves, but they cannot pos
sibIy deceive God. There are tens of
thousands Of members Of churches a..
over this land that know that they
are not genuine Christians living in
obedience to Gods holy command
ments. They affiliate with genuine
Christians, and yet they know that
they have no true faith, and conse-
Quently no comfort and no joy and
no prospects ahead to make them hap
Ply Many, on the other hand. have such
Il low standard of what a Christian is
know so little of the power of God
In the soul, that they still f1atter them
selves that they are the genuine arti-
Gle, and their names are written in the
ami Book of Life. They are indeed
unbeIievers and they take the at
endanc upon church, the observance
OF certain Christian usages and duties
as the genuine life, as the real work
of God in their salvation. A woeful
error, but God is neither deceived nor
masked, as the Bible tells US. But We
must defer more on this point until
another study.

Mr.. c. B. Aycock is setting an excel
lent example. and doing what ha per-
haps not been done in North Carolina
before by a candidate for governor, he
is pressing the question of public edu-
cation upon the people to whom he
speaks. He is in dead earnest" in
this advocacy Of a highly important
question, and is perfectly frank and
sincere in doing so as he is in discuss
ing all public questions. We hope he
will make a profound impression.

The Newport (Va.) Herald, a hand
some. spirited, we'll edited new eight
page daily, says this Of the man of
destiny"
Candidate Aycock, of North Caro-
lima, should wear a standing collar. No
man can be elected governor of the dig
nified old North State who wears a
turn-down collar and a fiat necktie."
Hy! Hy! Editor Woodson ought to be
better informed as to North Carolina.
The people for an hundred years were
accustomed to "turn-down," and any
kind of INSTRUMENTATION, cravat,
stock, etc. The "stand-up' came in
with the carpet-bagger, and the gen.
uine North Carolinian is 10th to initiate
or emulate n Of that inferior tribe
The News and Observer reminds the
Herald that Vance wore the turn
downs" Voters in North Carolina are
not much occupied this year with the
cut of the oat or the fashion of the
collar, but are greatly concerned as to
the cut of the man and the indepen-
dence and honesty Of the candidate.
When we wrote the editorial on .Bry-
an Deserted" by the populists thai ap-
peared yesterday, we did not know what
we said would be confirmed so soon.
But ex-Representative Nichols, of Raj
eigh, a staunch republican, says that
he was told by populist delegates that
they would vote for Mckinley and they
believed that half of the convention
was OF that stripe. So the disguise is
rupt good Manners was the old copy
set by the teachers in the long ago.
They corrupt good morals, pervert
honest intentions, destroy sound belief,
and make men desert all p%retentions to
honesty in politics.
