A sensa tional story was printed yester-
day afternoon under the caption that the
dearth Of coal might close churches. Last
night this story, in part, was denied by
DR.. w w. Lear, pastor Of the Centenary
Methodist church, who said he was mis-
quoted or misunderstood, ard that there
was no cause wha tever for alarm. The
annual meeting Of the Virginia Confer
ence Of the Methodist Episcopal church,
South will be held next month at the
Broad-Street church, and there Will be
no Suspension Of services In the Cente-
nary church. While this latter named
church now has not much coal on hand,
it will get fuel for the winter months.
While other churches in the city have
not laid in full winter supply. most OF
them have an ample quantity to run them
late into the the fall and early winter, and
some have enough anthracite stored IN
the cellars to last until February, or un-
fill the winter is broken.

Reply to Eenry's Gard.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Chairman Spann states Officially"
"After the payment Of the actual ex'
penses managers services are not
"actual expenses"?) of the said com,
mittee such as printing, preparing
the boxes, &C., &c. in this connection
might mean little or it might mean
much) the balance will be paid out
proportionately to the managers which
will be as much as usual or perhaps
more"
Taking that official" dictum as a
base we will risk this theorem.
At the last primary election the
managers received 500 each for their
two days services, add ''perkaps
more" to this amount and a total
something like this 5000 might
result. 1t would have been more
satisfactory had the chairman beer
specific and stated the amount in
figures S.
As to the telegram matter the
member, a novice in committee
work, who published the "unpub-
lished proceedings infers from the
motion that such thing as paying
for kilograms had been done. If the
brother members motion to pay for
no telegrams bad not been wiped out
with such rapid haste by tabling, but
discussed as it should have been. an
explanation might have unfolded
(the same as a 'scouple dollars" for
printing! which would have settled
the matter and excited no ones sus-
picions. Respectfully,

Those who imagine that the vote
given DR.. Zimmerman for Governor
in the coming primary will be entire
ly complimary and not with any ex.
pectation of his election, are reckon
ing without true appreciation OF the
situation. The friends of this candi.
date are giving him their support be-
cause they believe that he is the man
of the hour; that they see in him all
the elements for making high toned,
capable and efficient Chief Magis-
trate. They have every reason to be-
lieve that a large per cent. of the
support of those who are laying low
and saying nothing will 60 to DIR.
Zimmerman because, of his fitness
and competency, consequently appre-
ciate worth and merit in Office, and
DR.. Zimmerman possessing these in
an eminent degree, will command
their support.
An acceptable earnest of the desire
for permanent peace and harmony in
the Democratic family would be the
elevation of DR.. ". N. Zimmerman
TO the Go7ernorship of South Caro-
liam. DR.. Zimmerman is one Of the
purest men in the State. There is
absolutely not a blot or stain upon
his public or private character and he
erjoys to the fullest extent the coz
fdence and respect OF the people Of
the State of every shade Of political
belief. Bcoad minded and liberal ID
his views he possesses all the ele-
ments to make him the Governor Of
the whole people without regard to
political differences past, present or
future. He above all others csn
bring our people together and bis en-
ergies will be directed toward ad-
vancing the material prosperity of
the State in all her diversified inter-
ests. A vote for him means vote for
high standard Of morality, for the
dignity of Christian citizenship and
for ability and fitness in office. All
things considered DR.. Zimmerman
is urquestionably the strongest and
most eligible candidate now before
the people seeking their suffrage and
be will make most popular Gov
ernor in the event of his election, of
which there now remains but little
doubt. Let Lexington give him that
generous support he so richly de-
serves.

those paid by the whites to educate
white children is adopted, what does

that negroes are the best patrons of
the dispensaries, and, therefore, ac-

to the major share of the profits.
