THE PRESBYTERIAN SYNOD.

The ninety first annual session of the
Presbyterian Synod of North Carolina Is
in session at Wilmington. Presbyterian
ism is as oil as the State of North Caro-
lima. To no church is the commonwealth
so greatly indebted for the early cs-
tGbishment of schools and to leadership
in the struggle that resulted in AmerI-
can Independence. During the first half OF
century of its existence, the University
was mainly guided and directed by Pres
by terrain presidents and professors. In
various portions of the State scholarly
divines of that church established pre-
paratory schools of high grade in which
most of the educated men of the state
prior to the War Between the States were
prepared for college or for the duties Of
life. No living man can estimate the
value of those schools in the religious,
educational and political welfare of the
State. Davidson College, easily one Of
the greatest colleges in the Sokth, is
the chief institution of that church.
There are colleges with more students
and larger endowments, but from Mary
land to Texas there is no institution
guided by higher ideals or that gives
more thorough or faithful instruction
It's president is of the best type of the
Southern scholar and Christian educa-
tor Other strong and growing institu
tons, mainly for the education of wo-
men-Peace Institute at Raleigh, the
Presbyterian College at Charlotte, and
the Presbyterian College and Conserva-
tory of Music at Red Springs-are among
Presbyterian colleges that stand among
the States foremost educational institu-
tions.
1t was the Scotch Irish Presbyterians
and on the 31st of May at the same VII
lage who first gave voice to the grow
ing determination to be rid of the yoke
OF Great Britain. Those sturdy Calvin
lists, unawed by the fear of kings, blazed
the way for freedom, and to them every
American citizen to the last period OF
time will owe a debt of gratitude for
the liberty he enjoys.
The reports made to the Synod show
that Presbyterianism is virile, progressive,
growing in this good commonwealth. It
embraces in it's membership nearly forty
thousand of the choice spirits of this good
State, and is animated by the spirit OF
evangelizing and educating the people.
In proportion to membership. Presbytc-
rians contribute more largely to religious
and benevolent causes than any other
denomination. They give literally TO their
own church, its enterprises, its institu
tons But their benefactions are not
limited to their own denominational
bounds. The late Mr.. Moody once said:
."God bless the Presbyterians. They give
more to benevolence to charity, TO t
Y. NJ. c. A., to all good causes than
any other church. l can always get as
much for the spread of the gospel or for
the help of mankind from the Presbyte-
rians as from all the other denominations
combined" And Mr.. Moody was not a
Presbyterian.

DIFFERENT WAYS OF SEEKING NO

Lexington Dispatch.

Lexington DlSpdICH.
When Prof. Bassett says that Booker
is the greatest man born in the South
in the last hundred years he says what
nest people do not believe. The Profes-
sor is surely seeking notoriety. There
are many ways for people to make them
selves notorious. There Is the Jesse
James way and the Dowie way. There Is
the Hobson way and the San Juan Hill
way And then too there are other
ways, but the latest way is to- write n
long article and prove that a Niger ls
better than d white man.

The effect of such articles on the col

such tommy-rot the sooner will tn"
country come into the realization of the
final triumph of the colored man in the
educational and industrial affairs.

FOR LOVERS OFMUSIC.
First Number of Recital Course Was
Most Instructive.

The first of a series of sixteen lee
lures on music was given last evening
al the Christian church by Prof. E. r.
Kroeger of st. Louis.
The audience was not large but the
talk illustrated by piano selections was
so good and of such benefit to students
that larger attendance will certainly
result at the future numbers.
The lecture was preceded by a short
address by Prof. G. B. Penny of Wash
burn college. He said: There are now
a thousand persons from Kansas study
ing music in Chicago and St. Louis,
most of whom leave home for instruc-
ton, not because better teachers are to
large cities afford concert and lecture
advantages. The present course is to
supply the long felt want. and no pains
will be spared to make the lectures all
that can be desired in an educational
way. The best talent of Chicago and
st. Louis has been secured"
In his talk Prof. Kroeger showed
how instrumental music, the most in
tangible of arts, may be made to sug-
gest various emotions, as religious feel
ing, joy, sorrow, passion, grief, hate.
etc, or to convey pictures to the mind
Stimulating to a degree, the various
sounds in nature.
The first he termed emotional music
and stated that it was especially pc
culiar to the earlier of the great com
posers, and the latter he called pic
turesque music and said that it had re-
ceived greatest attention from the COM
pOsers of the present day.
Throughout the talk, selections,
themes. and examples from the best
masters. old and new were played in
most delightful manner.
The evening was closed with one of
Mr. Kroeger's own compositions, play
ed by request, which was much apprec-
lated.
Prof. Kroeger is at the head of the
musical department of the coming
Worlds fair.

THE DIFFERENCE
Coffee Usually Means Sickness but
Postum Always Means Health.

Those who have never tried the ex-
pertinent of leaving off coffee and drink
ing Postum in its place and in this way
regaining health and happiness can
learn much from the experience of 9TH
ers who have made the trial.
One who knows says: Il drank coffee
for breakfast every morning until I had
terrible attacks of indigestion producing
days of discomfort and nights of sleep
lessness. 1 tried to give up the use of
co1ee entirely but found it hard to go
from hot coffee to a glass of water.
Then l tried Postum Food Coffee.
1t was good and the effect was so
pleasant that 1 soon learned to love it
and have used it for several years. I
improved Immediately after l left off
coffee and took on Postum and am
now entirely cured of my Indigestion
and other troubles all of which were
due to coffee I am now we'll and con-
tented and all because changed from
coffee to Postum.
Postum is much easier to make right
every time than coffee for it is so even
and always reliable. We never use
coffee now in our family we use
Postum and are always we'll" Name

There's a reason and it is proved by
trial.

SILVER DOLLAR A PUZZLE.
Boston Bankers Submit Odd Mintage
to Subtreasury Experts.

Boston, Nov. 25.-Richardson, Hill &
Co., bankers, have submitted to the sub
treasury experts a silver dollar that
puzzles them Apparently it is a genu-
Inc issue of the United States mint, but
no one at the sub-treasury ever saw a
coin like it.
It is the size and weight of the stan
dard silver dollar, and the diverse side,
with the head of Liberty, is similar to
the face of the present coin The re-
verse, however, is unique. Around one
arc of the circles is United States Of
America" with ''Deo Est Gloria in
barely decipherab1e letters below. In the
lower arc of the circle is the designa-
ton zone dollar" with the date of 1879.
The central design of the reverse Is
what makes the dollar unlike any in cir
culation. There is a small circle in the
center, with these figures: 1888 S, AZ
c. 100 c, % grams" 1t probably is one
of a series of silver dollars which had
been minted, but had not been put in
circulation.

WOMEN RIDE ASTRIDE.
Daughter of Millionaire Lawson
Sets Fashion in New England.

Cohasset, Mass. Nov. 25.-Attired in a
fetching riding habit, Miss Gladys Law
son, eldest daughter of Thomas W.Law-
son, the financier. has set a new style
in horseback riding for this section. She
has taken up riding astride and is en-
thusiastic over it. Miss Lawson, accom-
panied by her younger sisters, Marion
and Dorothy. and Master Douglass Law
son, is out on the Cohasset byways al
most daily, all seated astride blue rib
bon winning horses.
With a long coat of covert cloth
touching the tops of her patent leather
Jack boots Miss Lawson makes a pretty
picture. Miss Marion Lawson generally
wears a suit of light colOred crash, while
Miss Dorothy and Master Douglass are
attired in the conventional style.
Not only have the Misses Lawson
revolutionized the fashion in horseback
riding but they have also brought the
driving of horses in tandem for every
day use into popular favor Mornings
they usually devote to a brisk horse
back ride and in the afternoon they
go out in tandemS.

game with the Swedes, but now the
soreness of that terrific II to contest

does not have the confidence of victory
which has characterized it's attitude
toward the other games of the season.
The team, however, is determined, and
unless Highland Park proves to be en-
tirely out of her class. the Washburn
blue is pretty likely to be again trium-
phant.

the basin and lagoons was decided upon
