their active pastoral work is hampered

The subject will probably be discussed

About ten years ago the Rev. ]. S.
Bitter, a Methodist minister, saw in a
vision a mighty church built for the
masses in a large city. Since that time
1t has been the object of his life to
build that temple. He discovered no
means, however, with which to build
the structure until a year ago last
August, when he met A. J.. Wharton,
a rich mine owner of Colorado. To
him Mr.. Bitter unfolded his plan,
which met with such favor in the eyes
Of the mine owner that he decided 10
give his aid to the work. He presented
TO Bitter one hundred acres Of mining
land, and a telegram the other day
announced a rich strike on the land
worth $1,000, 900. Mr.. Bitter says that
he will build a church in Chicago to
be called the Good VIII Temple.

The Grave of Macon,
(Warren Record.)

Our attention has been called to tne
fact that the grave of North Carolina's
greatest statesman and Warren's com
tvs most ilustrious son, Nathaniel
Macon. in it's neglected condition has fall
len into the hands of a colored man. Thls
is shameful. While some may go 50 far
in respect to Mr.. Macon's wishes to be
buried Just where he was and that moth
ing but a heap of stones should be placed
upon his grave, therefore nothing should
be done to further mark the restlns place
of the Last of the Romans. ss John
Randolph was wont to style Warren
county's greatest son. Nathaniel Macon;
yet all must agree that the spou should
be kept sacred and not allowed t, go into
the hands of an alien race. Are there not
enough patriotic men in Warren who will
wipe this stain from the las resting
place of the immortal Macon? Shall the
grave of Warrens noblest sor be under
the control and owned by an lien race?
If no monument, through ressect to the
honored dead stateSmans wish, shall
mark his resting place, will nc, the proud
and boastful Anglo Saxon rae see to it
that this resting place of Nathaniel Ma
con be kept inviolable and controlled and
owned by the race to which he belonged
and which he honored? For the sake of
race pride, for the sake of hur history.
for the sake of rising gentrations--let
this stigma upon the name # Macon be
wiped out. Let us have some concerted
action and redeem the last resting place
of Nathaniel Macon.

Gen. Wade Hampton is spending the

is good fisherman and knows how to
cook fish Here is the way, according
to friend:
1.-The instant the fish was landed, 1T
was dressed, and chunk of sweet
fresh butter, a pinch of salt, shower
of pepper and diminutive rasher OF
breakfast bacon We're placed inside. A
fresh shuck, out of which the roasting
ear had just. been taken, was procured,
and the trout thus prepared, put In
place of the ear the Shuck SmOOthed
down and tied at the silk end Then
this shuck with it's precious cargo was
put in the embers and covered with live
Goals until the fish was done to an ex-
act turn; the roasting ear was toasted
before the fire and a corn hOe-cake,
such as only our colored fellow citizens
know how to manufacture, was brought
into requisition. The fish must swim
three times-once in the water before he
is caught, once in butter after he is
roasted, and again in whiskey after it
is eaten"
