SHOWS FAITH BY WORKS.

There were many incidents at the Bap-
t:st State Convention at Durham showing
the growing liberality of that militant
denomination, but this incident, copied
from the Lumbcrton Argus, which
escaped the reporters, was the best of all:
In the discussion it was brought out
that Mr.. II. G. Bridgers, Of Bladensboro,
supports a, State missionary and a for
cign missionary, the latter at a cost Of
5000 per year. By the way, Pastor Hedge
peth tells US he married Mr.. Bridgers last
week to Miss White of that community
Teaching by object lesson is not only
necessary for the instruction of young
children, but as we'll for boys grown
tall" In this generous and practical eX-
hibition Of his faith by his works Mr..
f'tidgers sets an example of libcra1ity
and faith hat ought to make the Stingy
giVcrs, who, out of their abundance, dole
out small sums to spread the gospel at
home and abroad, resolve to 10 larger
things for Christmas religion.
Mr.. Bridgers deserves the thanks of all
good men for his liberal example, and all
will wish him every happiness n his new
estate.

BILL ARP'S PRAYER ANSWERED

Some months ago, after examining The
North Carolina Confederate Records,
edited by Chief Justice-clcct Walter
Clark, Bill Arp said he prayed that
Georgia might make similar provision for
the publication of its Confederate war
history. His prayer has been answered.
Near the close of the last session of the
Georgia Legislature, Hon. Clark Howell,
Senator from Atlanta, introduced a bill
providing for the publication of GeorSia's
Colonial, Revolutionary and Confederate
records. The Governor has chosen ex-
Governor Allen d. Gambler to compile
these records.
Good for Georgia. 1t is rapidly taking
it's place next to North Carolina among
the most progressive Southern States.

NEGROES IN A DUEL
Three Men Are Badly Wound
ed in a Hot Fight at
Wilmington.

Especial to the News and o~bServer.)
Wilmington, N. c., Dec. 20.-A pistol
duel between Foster Williams and
Baalam Johnson, coIorcd, employees of
the Angola Lumber Company, took place
this evening on the yards of the mill in
the northern section Of the city. The
negroes had been quarrcling at their
work all day and when the plant shut
down at night they went out on the yards
and began firing at one another.
Both emptied their revolvers. Johnson
was shot in the stomach and may have
a fatal wound. Williams left arm was
shattered by II bullet from his adver-
sary's weapon ad a third negro, who had
no part in the difficulty, suffered a SINH
lar wound.
All parties concerned were arrested and
taken to the hospital. The shooting took
place inside the enclosure at the mill as
over a hundred aborers were lined up
to be paid off. The scene was one Of
great confusion.

WHY 1T LOOKS DARK"

The Mt. Airy News says eve do not
want to believe the combine Of the Ameri-
can and English companies does as much
harm as some think" We agree with tho
News. We do not wish to believe it and
nothing but the tremendous reduction in
price following the combine would prove
it. The News truly adds: we will ad-
nit that It looks dark for the tobacco
interests in this country Why does it
look dark?' The demand for the pro-
duct Of North Carolina tobacco has more
than kept pace with the increased pro-
duction. IT Clocks dark solely because
the tobacco interests are at the mercy
OF a gigantic constituencies trust which
has almost destroyed all independent
factories, and has within six weeks re-
duced the price of the bright tobacco
thIrty-three and a third per cent. IF
there is no remedy. the tobacco farmers
viii become the serfs of the tobacco
trust.

COULD VOTE THEN OUT.

The scheme to confnc the whiskey dis
t|illeries in North Carolina to Incorporate
ed towns is likely to be a lively question
before the Legislature. The liquor deal
ers arc said to favor it. 1t Will possibly
bring a number of distilleries into towns
that do not want them, the share of a
town like Gastonia being two or three
GastCnia Gazette.
As We understand it prohibition prevails
in CASTOR county. There is not a saloon
in the county. The proposed law would
not affect CASTOR county at all except
to drive out all the distilleries, if there
are any, in the rural districts. Those
still wishing TO prosecute their business
could not do so in any dry town. Be-
sides the plan includes a system
Of license and taxation which requires
persons desiring to operate a still in the
towns to go through about the same pro-
ce1ure that is necessary to secure Ii
ccnse to retail liquor. If a town votes
for prohibition, distillerics are also ex-
Guided. Every town is a law unto itself.
1t may havc bars and distilleries, or it
may have a dispcnsary, or it may have
prohibition. Nobody has proposed or sug-
gostcd that a distillery could be put up
in any town unless the authorities Of
that town wish it.
Drive out every distillery and saloon
from the rural districts and then let
each town regulate its attitude according
10 it's own desires. By that plan, prohi-
hilton or disDcnsary system OF regulation
would prevail in nine-tcnths Of the
towns and cities in North Carolina with
in d few years. Public morals would be
better, there would be more respect for
law, and a healthier spirit of education
and progress would bless this good Com
monWealth.
