SYRACUSE M. E. CHURCH REVOLT.
Pastor Gallagher Takes His Place in tho
Pulpit, Although Told Not to Come.

SYRACUSE, Oct. lin spite Of the tele-
gram which the Rev. Guy b. Gallagher re-
ceived from the board OF trustees OF the
Furman Street Methodist Episcopal Church,
telling him that his services were not

Mr. Gallagher said that he had not moved
from Ithaca yet, and was waiting to hear
from Bishop Goodsell as to his future action.
The members Of the church are determined
to retained the Rev. Wallace L. Brown as
pastor in spite of the appointment made
by the Bishop. Mr.. Gallagher said in his
sermon:

son county. couple from another county
desired to obtain license to marry. The
officer noted that the girl was mere
child and refused to grant the license
until proof should be furnished that the
proposed bride was of the lawful age.
This proof was not furnished, license
was refused and the couple went on to
another county.
We say: Good for Mr.. Wells " The
couple may get license elsewhere md
may be married, but one officer has done
his duty Public officials and ministers
OF the gospel have much to answer for
when they marry children. If they are
compelled to wait until they are of legal
age, some hasty marriages would be pre-.
vented, and subsequent divorce proceed
ings would not appear upon the dockcts
of our courts. Too early marriages
marriages under the legal age-ought to
be prevented. Early marriages are to
be encouraged, but public officials and
preachers can largely prevent child mar
riages if they will

The Truckers Interests.
(Duplin Journal.)

For the past few years this industry
has taken on new life and the effect
is shown in the increase of population
along the railroads where facilities are
offered. Several years the strawberry was
the standby" but now other crops are
planted and the shipping season lasts
from February to August. The coming
season the acreage in cantaloupes and
potatoes will be increased considerably.
especially at Calypso, and with telephone
connections, and the great convenience
our banks will be, the business should
be handled proftably. As we now have
ample banking facilities IN our county,
it is the intention of the growers to sell
on the platform rather than consgn. II
is evident that the trucking industry is
here to stay, but the growers should
be careful not to depend too much on anv
one crop. Diversity of crops is always
the safest way.

WANTED: MORE MEN LIKE J. MORRIS

They don't make any better folks than
you find in Wilson county and the ada
cent country They are not, generally
speaking, demonstrative, but they practice
sections, there are of course some who
lack perfection, but they have before
them examples for imitation, as witness
the following from the Wilson Times:
''Mr. j. Morris, of Eolman, N c., was
in town today. He is an honest man,
and having promised to pay a debt de-
termined he would come if he had to
walk, so finding this morning the team
was busy he started out afoot to Wilson,
leaving there at $50. He reached here
about 1:S0, having covered the 26 miles
in about four hours, having walked every
step of the way. He left here at 2:30
this evening says he will get home about
dark. He IS a walking honest man. How
many men would walk that far to pay
debt?'
Diogenes would have fallen upon the
neck of Mr.. ]. Morris and wept for joy,
upon meeting him, would have extin-
guished his lantern, and demolished il
for the spectacle of man walking twenty
six miles to pay debt would have con-
WINGED the old philosopher that he had
come to the end of his long search for
an honest man.
The cying need of today is for more
men like j. Morris-men who cannot sit
down quietly and disregard their obli-
cations, but who will use every exertior
to pay their just debts. The need is
for an infusion of that sort of spirit
everywhere to counterfeit the growing in
fuence of the spirit illustrated in the
following story:
How do you feel today?" asked A of
one morning.
"Wretchedly" was the reply. 81 owe
C one hundred dollars 1t is due today

A said! do you mean to tell me that
you walked the floor all night because
you cannot pay c 500 you owe him?
Yes was the reply.
Then said A Il have no patience
with you. You ought to have gone to
bed and to sleep, and let C walk the

IS PARKER IN THE LEAD?

The New York World prints the views
OF twenty-four National Committeeman
and leaders in various states, on the
effect of Mr.. Cleveland's withdrawal Ten
of these leaders expressed the opinion
that Judge Parker's chances had improved
thereby; three believe the outlook is now
more favorable for German; two think
that David B. Hill will be the gamer
one that George B. Mcclellan should now
be nominated; one that Judge Gray is
the strongest candidate, while seven were
noncommittal.
A special from New York to the Phil
adelphia Public Ledger says:
1T is common gossip that Charles F.
Murphy was preparing to use the in
fiuence of Tammany Hall in favor of the
nomination of Mr.. Cleveland, and now
that the ex-President has positively de-
clined there is considerable speculation
as to who will be the recipient of the
powerful Tammany leaders favor in the
National Convention. Mr.. Murphy shares
Richard Cookers antipathy to Hill,
and the later is considered as eliminated
as a presidential possibility. 1t is not be-
lieved that Mr.. Murphy would counte-
nance a boom for Mcclellan, as the May
or-elect is not yet ripe for presidential
honors, and, besides, his continuance in
the Mayors chair for two years is de-
sired by the man who put him there

candidate from New York, the prevailing
impression is that Judge Parker will Sc

In talking with leading Halifax county
farmers, at court this week, we find that

that farmers are busy housing their corn.
1t was also learned that a majority of the
farmers have been disposed to meet the
market and sell as fast as ready. Some,
however, say they have sold but little Of
their crop and that right much cotton is
being held. Some farmers appear to be
disposed to hold cotton until after the

higher next spring.-Weldon News.
