Great South Bay was frozen over-fro-

crossed that day with wagons. The
scene was very grand and solemn. Alb
solute silence ruled the waters which in
the spring and autumn winds were so
often boisterous and noisy. No waves
splashed on the beach; no breeze
ruffled the surface. The bay was
dead. For full four miles across to
the other shore the ice enshrouded it,

Sawed Their House in Two.

John and William Arbuckle inherited
a house and lot at Elwood Jointly from
their parents, but neither was willing
to buy or sell at the price the other
was willing to give; and, after much
dickering they became angry and re-
fused longer to hold the property
jointly. 1t was then agreed to saw the
house in two from roof to basement,
and the work was begun, and at the di-
rection OF the two brothers workmen
began on the roof with large crosscut
saws and each wall was sawn through
until the foundation was reached. A
large crowd witnessed the destruc-
tion of the house, and commented on
the folly of the brothers. "A fence
will be run through the middle Of the
lot, each brother taking one side.-New

Especial to News and Observer

New Orleans, La, April 23.-As Liv-
2rpool advices were better than looked
Tor our market opened ! to points
higher, improved to additional on
fresh buying, declined to Z from the top
later on the free nort and interior re-
ceipts, but became steadier near the
close, making the net gain to 3 points
On old crop months and 5 to 6 on new.
The semi-weekly interior receipts were
$1,000, against $4,000 last year and 5000
year before last, losing $4,000 in stock
this year, against 5000 last year and
1000 year before last. The Agricultural
commission of Georgia reports that
10000 tons of fertilizers have been used
IN the State this year, against 476, 600
last year. There is less demand for
spots and offerings from the interior
were on lower basis than for several
days past. Outsiders seem averse to
entering the market for the present, but
VIII probably do so if anything new de-
Yelops in the situation. The movement
the demand for spots and the prospects
of the next crop will continue to govern
values. II. & B. BEER.

MISS BLoDGETT AT SOLDIERS HOME.
Her Subject Was Glow to Live a Victorious
Christian Life'

Miss Blodgett lectured yesterday morn
ing at the Soldiers Home to an appre-
ciative audience.
Before taking up her subject. which
had been previously announced as Glow
to Live a Victorious Christian Life, -
Miss Blodgett, by request, stated more
clearly and fully wherein Christian
science, theosophy and other modern re-
ligious cults differ from what Christians
hold to be essential truth
She had shown in Tuesdays lesson
that the sorcerers of Egypt initiated the
first three miracles which were per-
formed by Moses and Aaron by God s
command. 1t was in the creation of life.
viz, lice out of dust, that their enchant-
ments were powerless, proving from this
that miraculous healings to attest the
truth of a doctrine are in themselves
insufficient evidence. The doctrine must
be tried by the searchlight of Gods word
as revealed in the holy scriptures. The
cross of Christ, Gods only plant to save
man. "The wages of sin is death"
Without the shedding of blood there is
no remission. 1.-THE blood of Jesus
Christ, His son, cleanseth from all sim
is plainly, Enthusiastically written there.
But Christian Science denies the deity
Of Jesus, making him only perfect man,
filled with the divine principle they call
the Christ
They deny the fact that man in him
self is a sinner. therefore he needs no
sacrifice for his sin. God is not a person
out principle. He is good. He is
truth, and when man comes to be filled
With the principle of truth he need not
lie at ALL neither indeed will he, when
he comes to know the truth as science"
hall ultimately teach it. Is not this
If Eden repeated. "Ye shall not surely
lie" Eye shall be as gods, knowing
good and evil
Christ told his disciples that Sin the
latter days there should arise false
Christs that should, if possible, deceive
the very elect
Introducing the topic for the morning
she chose as her text Christs words,
1T is expedient that l go away, that
nay send another comforter unto you"
She impressed the personality of the
holy Ghost. The word comforter il the
Greek is Paraclete, lone who stands
by" another. The personal pronoun
He is used in reference to the Holy
Spirit, not the neuter cit" If help is
needed, He is there to stand by" if
power, strength, comfort, He is there
also to give just what is wanted.
First, therefore, accept the cross of
Christ, Jesus atoning death by. faith
and then the other Divine Paraclete
will come and work in and through us, if
we will but let him by a surrendered will
he divine life. God wishes that We shall
live here in this present world.

NOTHING BUT PRAISE
Gov. Aycock Com. Patterson
on Fayetteville.
Delighted With Their Warm Reception. Spleen.
did Attendance Of Country and Town
People at Meetings.

Governor Aycock and Commissioner S.
from Fayetteville, where they, together
with Superintendent Joyner and President
Geo. T. Winston, took part in the Edu-
cational meeting and Road Convention,
are very enthusiastic over their recep-
ton, the meetings, Fayetteville and
everything connected Herewith.
The Governor said to News and OBJ
server man yesterday evening: Our
whole party very greatly appreciated the
most cordial reception rendered us, and
we come back full of praise for the we'll
known hospitality of Fayetteville. We
were met at the station by as large a
body of people as ever gathered during
the campaign to welcome the candidate
for Governor. They had a brass band
and simply devoted themselves TO giving
US good time.
"As to the meeting, l may say that
never attended one that gave me more
pleasure. The meetings undoubtedly
have had good effect. They have deep
ened the interest in both education and
good roads. Fayetteville has taken on
new life. and is on the eve of a remark
able growth and a large development
Everybody is lopeful for the future.
There was an immense crowd at the
meetings, made up of country people as
well as town people, and the enthusiasm
was tremendous.
Last night | spoke to eleven hundred
negroes in one of the colored churches,
on the general subject of education. Su-
perintendent Thurston, of the silk mill
there, which is operated entirely by ne
groes, responded to my remarks with
splendid speech, one that would have
done credit to anybody. I was especially
delighted to observe the good feeling be-
tween the races, the white people de
claring that they have the best negro
population anywhere, and the colored peo-
pie saying the whites there are the best
people in the world"
Commissioner Patterson expressed
himself likewise as being delighted with
his trip. Major Hale, editor of the Fay
etteville Observer, he said, had remarked
to him that he considered the Governors
speech, which was on universal educa-
ton, its advantages and absolute nece-
sity in North Carolina, the very best he
had ever heard
Speaking of the crowd at the meetings,
Mr.. Patterson said: "a large proportion
of the audience were farmers, and there
were many ladies, too. After the Gov
errors speech, the Good Roads Conven-
ton was organized, at which President
Winston ana Capt S. B. Alexander, OF
Charlotte, made the principal speeches.
The people, seem to be all very much
in earnest about improving the roads
They are already doing a great deal in
the township outside of the city Of Fay
etteville itself.
THE people treated us in the kindest
ard most hospitabe manner possible.
Last night Prof. Joyner, DR.. Winston and
Prof. Noble, of the University, spoke
again before an educational meeting, ana
the Governor addressed a large audience
OF negroes"

in two when being taken out.
Lawyer w. c. Douglass testified to the
good character of Mr.. Britton.
Mr.. Timothy GOODWIN, a resident of
Cameron, whose farm is only eight or
ten yards fro mthe trestle, said he was
at the scene of the wreck about a week
before. The cattle guard, he thought,
was in pretty bad shape, portions of the
ties being rotten. South of the trestle
the ties were covered UP. but the ends
of many of them looked rotten.

A BEAUTIFUL PRESENT.
Magnificent Group of statuary for Re
firing President Search.

AS interesting and impressive a scene as
was ever witnessed in the hall Of the In
diana House of Representatives was fur
nished yesterday morning i'm the presenta-
ton by the National Association Of Manu-
lecturers to its honored retiring president.
Theodore A. Search, of a magnificent group
of statuary. The piece is named 'Lassoing
Wild Horses" and is a remarkable work
Of art designed by Scion II. Borglum and
done into bronze by Theodore b. Starr, of
New York. The beauty of the statuary is
heightened by the splendid pedestal OF
onyx uDon which il is mounted. Sculptor
Borglum Is a son Of a Danish settler in
western Nebraska, is not yet thirty-fve
years Of age and developed unaided his
wonderful artistic gift amid the cherries
surroundings of a ranch on the Western
plains. "Lassoing Wild Horses is the first
piece OF work executed by the young genius
after arriving in Paris a few years ago,
and the group created a sensation at the
salon. as one who sees II may readily be-
lieve.
An interesting fact In connection with the
appearance OF the work OF art I'm the State
house is that it was put in place by the
local jewelry house Of julius G.. Walk q Son.
who were specially requested by Mr.. Starr
TO assume custody and control of the valu-
able gift while IL remained in Indianapolis.
The delicate commission was given TO the
Messrs. Walk on account OF their exclusive
experience in handling such works.
The presentation speech was made by
Richard A Young. OF New York. whose
voice trembied with the reality Of his emo
