RELIGIOUS PAPERS AGAIN.

On the question as to whether there is
a falling off in the circulation and in
fluence of religious newspapers there is
continued discussion. In North Carolina
the evidence is that they are more pros
porous than ever. AS to their influence,
that is a matter upon which there may
be difference of opinion.
The Outlook, discussing the causes OF
the failure of the New York Evangelist,
says they are two: /. A radical change
in journalistic conditions;" 2. A still
more radical change in ideas as to what
constitutes the religious element in life"
SAYS:
'When the old-time religious news
papers were started small attention was
given to religious matters by the daily
press; now all the leading newspapers
devote large space both to religious mat
tiers in the broad sense of the word and
to church news; all important matters
of interest to the pulpit, the pews, the
Christian Endeavor movement, the
Young Mems Christian Association, the
students movement, Institutional church
es, societies and organizations Of every
kind for work among different classes OF
society and to effect specific reform; in
a word, all matters relating to the func-
lions of churches, religious societies., and
the practical expression of the religious
life are treated at length and as part
of the important news of the day by
leading journals. In such journals ap-
npar from tjnp To tiOon cprin,,c and fn,
the most part sympathetic and capable
editorial treatment of movements of re.
ligious thought. both within and With
out the churches. Far more attention is
given today to religious matters by The
press of the country than at any former
period in our history"
The Outlook, under it's second head
thinks there has been Improvement il
the idea of what constitutes the religion:
element in life. and if it is correct tn,
change is one of great Importance. ]
SAYS:
Men and women are growing 1aor,
and more rapidly from the conception o
religion as a special department of life
from an arbitrary division between thing
which are called religious and thing
which are recognized as secular. The,
are coming to see that religion is a prin
clple which must penetrate and reorgan
lie every form of life; that it is the un
DERIVING basis on which all sound an
wholesome life must rest: that it is
point of view from which all things ar
range themselves in q new order; that j
includes not only organized instrument
ana methods of religion, but all civi
organization, all political questions. tn
arts, sclences-in a word the SUM @
mans life as expressed in thought. i
emotion, in action. Religion is not
professions; it is q life.

OFFICE HOLDERS IN POLITICS
President Foulke Addresses a Communication
to the Executive Departments.

Washington, Aug. 29.-Acting President
Foulke, of the Civil Service Commission,
has addressed a communication to ali the
executive departments in regard to the
part offiCeholders may take in politics.
Attention is called to an order issued by
President Cleveland, containing the fol-
lowing:
The influence Of Federal ~officeholders
should not be felt in the MANIPULATION Of
political primary meetings and nominal
ing conventions. The use by these Off
Gals Of their positions to compass their
selection as delegates to political parties
is indecent and unfair; and proper re-
gard for the proprieties and the require
ments of official place will also prevent
their assuming the active conduct of
political campaigns"
The communication states that this
order has never been repealed, but has
been declared by President Roosevelt 10
oe sui IN force. In constituting it, how
ever, there is a distinction. Mr.. Foulke
says, to be made between officers or en-
ployes who are in the classified services
and those who are not.
The man in the classified service

Captain Glenn made a strong speech,
during which he said: "A man has no
right in politics or religion to live for

THE STATE FARMERS AssOcIA.
TON.

The agricultural interests of North
est hopes for prosperity, and the best in
terests of the farmers of the State are to
be conserved against the inroads of the
trusts when they stand together for lcgi-
innate prices for their products.
These legitimate prices mean more than
the bare cost of production and of liV-
ing. In them fairly belong a profit, for
every man who 1abors is entitled to the
chance to store up from his labor a COM
Potency for the days that arc ahead
when labor can be done 20 more, and
when old age means a cessation from it.
The farmers of North Carolina are to
meet ia Raleigh on Wednesday of this
week, the specific organization being the
North Carolina Farmers Association,
which all farmers Of the State are asked
to join. This organization was at first
confined to the cotton farmers of the
state. but was later made so as to in
clude in it's organization all who depend
upon agriculture. It's purpose is to de-
yalop interest in agriculture, and to en-
able The farmers to resist the encroach-
ments of trusts, monOpolies or other
combinations whose purpose is to derive
the farmer by arbitrary or other methods
of his rightful earnings or the profits
that should arise from his industry. j..
The meeting this week is the first an
nual meeting of the association, Wnlch
in the first year of its existence has
been of help to the farmers. 1t IS capable
CT an increased usefulness, and the far
mers of the State will find that it can be
made so by a united effort on their part.
For the meeting this week reduced
rates have been secured on all the rail-
roads and the indications are mat the
meeting viii be q very large one.

NopoSioA ~ ANS"S 0id
Warrenton, N. c., Aug. 3O.-Great in
dignation is expressed here among the
negroes at the action of the Republican
State Convention in kicking out the regu-
lar negro delegates and seating white
delegates.
H. II. Taylor. who was a negro dele
gate, says that the action of Senator
Pritchard will cause the Republican
ticket to lose thousands Of votes and
will ensure their overwhelming defeat
in the November election. He says also,
that the negroes are going to organize
in a peaceful, quiet way and vote for no
man for the Legislature who is known
to be in favor of the return of Senator
Pritchard to the United States Senate.
Taylor is an ex-lieutenant of the
Spanish-American war, and is a negro
of prominence and influence in his party
and race.

COL. BENEFITS BRILLIANT
SPEECH.

There is no man in North Carolina who
is always so original and interesting as
Col. Risden Tyler Bennett, of Arson
county. His latest short speech was one
made in Wadesboro introducing Judge
Walter Clark at a Confederate gathering.
1t is so unique that We give 1t IN full
as follows:
Ladies', Men of Arson County:
You nave a distinguished citizen OF
orr State as your guest today. | am
constrained by his relation towards cur
rent events and by the proprleties OF
this occasion to omit the civic dlstlnc-
tons which adorn his career. These
you will rehearse in your own conscious
ness. You will take official notice OF
them.
Il must leave you to burn your W
smoke.
"Entering the military service OF the
Confederate States at an early age ne
served with the Thirty-ffth Regiment OF
| North Carolina Troops as adlutant or
the command, and was then self-reliant
and resourceful. With this he
| took part in some Of the %fiercest engage
| ments fought by the Army of Northern
| Virginia. | have heard that he perform
ed a feat of unusual daring under the
| immediate eye of Stonewall Jackson at
Sharpsburg. Later in the war he was
commissioned Lieutenant Colonel OF a
Regiment of Junior Reserves. With this
command his military service terminated.
THE browning mercy OF his eVent1ul
life is vouch-safed in the records filling
five Volumes, wherein the living present
and distant ages will find a true relation
of the many regiments and battalions
and companies marshalled by our dear
State to her standard and herein pavil-
toned as they exhausted their numbers
and were worn out by the process of
attrition.
Our ordinary speech serves only the
middle range of emotion and passion,
while in supreme moments man is re
duced to eloquent silence or to an in
articulate cry.
IF your orator should content himself
with a tribute to Anson's worthless, his
theme is noble.
"Anson was the first county in the
State to tender the military to Governor
Ellis in 1861.
She had fewer deSerters from the
colors than any county in the State, ex-
cept Cumberland and Warren.
eff the speaker should ascend to the
lofty and imperishable theme, the New
Nation, The Confederate States
should feel in my bursting heart that we
ought to stand support for hin while
he traces the great black tears Of a PEG
pie, streaming at the very affairs of God
Il heard Wade Hampton, our Wade
say after his return from Europe tina
he conceived an affection for Tennyson
as by the unanimous voice of his neigh
bors he was the devoted friend of thu
South during our war. l borrow from
this perfect poet my closing words to you
Sir, if a State submit
At once, she may be blotted out at one,
And swallowed in the conqueror's chron
Whereas in wars of freedom and de
fence
The glory and grief of battle won an
lost.
Soldiers a race together-yea, tho the,
fail.
The names of those who fought and fel
are like
A banked-up fire that flashes out again
From century to century and at last
May lead them ON to victory. / HOPE sc
Like PhantOms of the Gods"

wandered out into a corridor, down into a great garden. The air was full of the perfume of flowers. The dead man plucked red rose, moist with the dew, and gave 1t to the lady.
 This for old times and dear remem- brances of childhood, he said, and he walked away and seemingly through the garden wall.
 The lady did not feel alarm; the mag ic of the moon, the exquisite harmony of the warm spring night, the rose she held still in her hand in token of "old
 times and dear remembrances" made a link positive, yet tender and romantic between the dead man. the old friend long estranged, and herself.
 She called a servant; he locked the zaguan door, the lady went to her bed room, placed the rose in vase with
 water, and soon was sleeping. In the morning she wondered, on

 run from the window seat and hide
 within the rooms came upon her, but she hravelv resisted At last she summoned courage, and with faltering tongue said: Pray, come into the house, Senor L.; the zaguan door is ajar We may talk better, per haps, within the house." But the man outside, clasping the
 window bars with two white hands, made no reply.
