mark caught her Eye, and, being of
a rather frugal nature, she demanded
to know all bou it. 1 explained that
under the existing laws a man who
owns no real estate is obliged to pay a
tax of so cents if he wants to vote.
SO it costs you a half-dollar to vote,
does. it?" she said. I replied in the affi-
NATIVE. And the poor men, the day
laborers and people like that-do they
pay so cents to vote?' Again I replied
affirmatively. Well, all I have to say
is that they are a lot of big FOOLS she
replied. I'd like to see myself pay for
the privilege Of voting, just to please
a lot of loafers or politicians in office.
L just wouldn't do it, Suppose there
were bargain sales in poll tax receipts,
I suggested. Suppose YOU could vote.
and you saw a sign announcing poll tax

After discussing the matter at length,
the committee unanimously recommen-
ded to the chamber of commerce, tn 1T
having heard both the typewriter re-
port of the subcommittee and verbal
statements from Messrs. Worth and
Gaylord, that they deem the project Of
erecting a tobacco warehouse, a prize
house and a stemmery in Wilmington

feasible, and in their judgment will be
a good investment. They also instruct
ed the clerk to present to the chamber
of commerce the report of the commit
tee with the letters and all other papers
bearing upon the subject. and requested
the president of the chamber to call a
special meeting of the chamber on to-
morrow at $3.50 p. m. to receive the re-
ports and appoint a special committee
to prosecute the project.

The committee on industrial and bus
mess enterprises of the chamber of
met yesterday afternoon at
the rooms of the chamber for the pur-
pose of hearing the report of their sub
committee which was appointed 10 visit
some of the tobacco markets Of eastern
North Carolina with the object of max
ing Investigations with regard to the
project to make Wilmington a retail
and wholesale tobacco market.
All the members of the committee
were in attendance, viz: NJ. w. jacob.
chairman, w. E. Worth, George ..
Gaylord, w. H. Brown, c. c. Chad
bourn and j. H. Boatwright.
The committee received a type writ
ten and verbal report from the sub
committee, composed of Messrs. w. E.
Worth and George Q. Gaylord, and
also read a number of letters bearing
upon the tobacco business. The type
written report of the committee was IS
follows:
Wilmington, n. c., October IA
''Mr. NJ. w. jacob, Chairman Commit
tee on Industrial and Business Enter
prises, Wilmington. n. c.:
Dear Sir: Your committee would
respectfully report that, in accordance
with your instructions. we nave visited
Goldsboro and Kinston. viewed the to-
bacco warehouses, prize houses, and
stemmeries, are fully impressed
with the belief, that Wilmington has as
good advantages as either. and in some
respects better, for the establishing
of this business; hat it is purely a mus
mess proposition. and if taken hold o.
in earnest. with the necessary amount
of capital. it can be made profitable to
those taking stock in the warehouse,
and of immense value to the communi-
ty at large.
The evidences of thrift at G%oldsboro
directly traceable to the sale of tobac-
CO were numerous, and without excep-
ton, every merchant there with whom
we talked was enthusiastic about 1t.
At Kinston the transformation of the
town within ten years is sufficient evil
dence of the wealth producing power
there is in the handling Of tobacco.
What was ten years 6 an old field, IS
today the busiest scenes of activity n
the handsomest part Of the city, repre-
Senting investments exceeding a million
dollars. We have studied the question
as closely as we could, and are con-
WINGED from what we have seen, that IL
is possible within seven or eight years.
the length of time these two points
have been tobacco markets, to make Of
Wilmington a greater market than eth
err of them, and that it a be made
profitable to all concerned, from tile
start.
1.-THE average amount received by the
producers of tobacco this year, in the
S ctions visited, is about 800 per acre.
Compare this with cotton at SIS per
acre, and consider that it costs no
more to produce one than the other.
Respectfully,
civilian E. WORTH,

Willemstad. October 1.-the govern
1nent of Venezuela, owing to the fear
that the revolutionists might make a
night attack on Caracas and in view of
the fact that Vice President Vincente
Gomez left hat city yesterday morning
with all the troops available, 500 men
to reinforce President Castro, has trans
ferred to the Provisional capitaf' of
Venezuela. Consequently the seat of
the government may be in a railroad
car or in some other place unknown re
the general public. The Venezuelan
government was also actuated in this
matter by a desire not to reply to the
questions of the foreign ministers, who
have been daily asking for redress as
the result of inquiries inflicted on the
persons or properties of citizens of the
C untries which they represent.

by the original inhabitants. Thus the
Romans in ancient times absorbed the
numerous peoples which inhabited the
Italian peninsula and brought them into
the fold of Latin civilization. On the
other hand, the Indians of Mexico and
South America to great extent absorbed
the conquering Spaniards and Portu-
guese and lowered their level of civiliza-
tion.
In the case of the Indians of North
America, however, neither of the two
things happened. 1t has always been a
wise rule with the English people in its
colonial invasions all over the world new
er to mix with the inferior races of the
invaded countries. That is probably one
of the reasons of the invariable success
of England's colonial policy. The inva-
sion of North America offers one Of the
best examples of that policy, il strictly
adhered to. The white invaders have
fought bloody wars with the Indians, who
desperately resisted the forward march
of civilization. Periods of bitter strife
have alternated with periods of peace and
friendly commercial relations. In spite
of all that the invaders have not absorb
ed any considerable number of the In
dams. There was no danger at any time
that the blood of the millions of white
invaders would become debased by the in

Hunt with Bow and Arro,y,

A new class Of sportsmen has been
growing up within the last few years,
whose distinguished characteristic is
based upon the line followed by the late
Maurice Thompson, sportsman and
author.
Thompson disdained to use the shot
gun on small game, preferring to match
skill against cunning. He made it II
practice not to kill game until he was
close enough to watch and study it. So
he took long bow and went into the
woods after quail and grouse. He hunt
ed rabbits in the same manner and was
very successful.
When he went after quail he stole
upon the flock in Its haunts and picked
off the birds with arrows that made no
noise and did not brighten those that
remained. In this way he grew to know
the haunts and habits of his quarry as
the shotgun hunter never does. Rabbits
he stalked In similar manner. The
point to be won was to see the rabbit
in the little form" where 1t spends the
day, in surroundings that rev 1r 1t we'll.
nigh invisible and shoot 1t before ii
could run away. For squirrels he took
an ancient fiintlock rifle.
Most hunters are not handicapping
themselves to this extent, says the New
York Times, but take instead of bow or
fiintlock small rifle with which the
head may be shipped off quail or
grouse and n tiny puncture made in .
rabbits skull.

of at least some Christian churches On
the contrary, however. it would be nat
ural for young and vigorous men, as in
the past, to be attracted by trials and
discussions as affordiiig field for accom-
plishment.
Other authorities tell us that the recent
financial crisis and the revival Of BUSH
ness which has followed it are the chief
causes Of the trouble. 1t is true, no
doubt, that when the panic OF 1888 came
many young men just entering on their
studies preparatory TO theological edu-
cation found it impossible to continue.
These probably would have been entering
the seminaries within the last two or
three years. 1t is true also that with
the return of prosperity these and others,
who would have looked toward the minis
try under normal conditions, have been
attracted into business by the opportuni-
ties offered in that sphere. These expla-
nations are but partial ones.

for several years past has been larger
than the demand. II we take the Presby-
terrain Church as typical we shall find
that for twenty-five years, ending with
1895, the number of churches grew more
rapidly than the number of ministers. But
during the six years since 1895 the nuns
Der of ministers has increased SO much
faster than the churches that at the
present day there are more ministers on
the rolls in proportion to the number of
churches than Mt any time in history. The
curious feature Of the case is that this
extraordinary increase in the number Of
ministers came precisely during the years
which show the steadily diminishing mum.
Der of students in the seminaries. The
conclusion cannot be avoided, therefore,
that the condition in the theological SEMI
naries is due to the conviction that there
are too many ministers already.
If this be the correct diagnosis of the
case, 1t follows that there is no serious
ground for alarm to the Christian Church.
Whenever in the providence of God n
larger number of ministers shall be need
ed, the church may be trusted to furnish
them. ANDREW G. ZENOS, d. d.,
