LESSON THOUGHTS.
Africa is known as THE Dark Cont
nent." Christ is the light of the world, +"
and he has made each one of US to be
bearer of the light Has The shining of
your light done anything to scatter the
darkness OF Africa?
Africa gives the gospel better well
come than does almost any other heat hen
land, stretching out her hands unto
Cod" Yet it is said that only two mil
lion out of Africa's 2OO,OOO,OO people
have ever heard the gospel.
The liquor traffic is the burning crime
OF Christian nations against Africa. One
of the most practical missionary efforts
we can make is to use our influence with
congress and otherwise to prohibit this
traffic.
Africa is ninety times the size of Great
Britain, over fifty times that OF France
or Germany, over five and one-halt times
that Of the United States Exclusive OF
Alaska), and over three times as large
as all Europe; with a total population
of upwards of 20O,O00000
Mohammedanism and Christianity are
the two rival forces which war against
barbarism. Christianity advances
with the sword or paper treaties in one
hand and the Blble-or case OF gin-in
the other, as it appears to the native
mind. 1t is no use guarding with the
comparison; it is just and faithful one.
| We should see ours elves as Others see us
in our acts; and not as we too often
see ourselves-in our proclamations.
ut dUOmludD lS u dllN Ill HuuOl duu
fire. arms paralyses all the efforts OF mis-
sionary and philanthropy enterprise; and
it is associated in the native mind with
Christianity in the same way as the
slave trade is associated by us with
Islam. We support, or at least we do
not suppress, the one, and we decry and
endeavor to stamp out the othe'; yet
both are equally scandalous and blood
guilty. In short, it is no exaggeration
to say that progress in Africa is impossi
Bile until the traffic n both these abomin
atoms is destroyed.

Great Natures.

Great natures are always generous.
They are fountains not only Of vitality,
but of bestowal. However great the re-

wards are but a fraction of the worth
Of the service rendered, and no man
ought to be satisfied whatever his po-
sition or work, unless he can feel that
he is giving far more than he is re-

however successful he may be on the
practical side he must still be counted

Asheville, N. c., April 3O-A number
of homes for sufferers with tuberculosis
are to be built on Beaumont, the highest
point on the mountain range Immediately
east of Asheyille. Dr. Battle is inter
ested in the project and is actively en-
couraging the establishment of the homes,
Miss Sherwood, who is admirably equip
ped for the work, through experience in
such institutions in the East. will have
supervision of the home. The Hazard
house has been leased for the purpose,
and tents will be put up, contiguous
thereto.
This tent system creates a ventilation
exactly like the draught in a lamp chin
ney, continued even circulation of
fresh air. The furnishings are a white
iron bed and plenty of soft, warm bed
ding, a bureau, toilet table. rug, chairs
and a stove. The fires are built by the
attendants before the guests go to their
tents at night and the ventilators are
closed until after they have retired then
they are opened and the patients sleep
the deep refreshing sleep of the just with
scarcely a cough, whereas if they We're
in the close rooms of houses they would
probably cough all night. The fires are
built again in the morning before the
guests arise and the tents are warmer
and more comfortable than the rooms in
most houses
A nurses tent is in the middle of the
village of tents and at the head of every
bed there is an electric bell which is con-
nected with the nurses tent.

A Ticket Agreed On.

Especial to News and Observer
High Point, n. c., April 30.--A repre-
sentative meeting of citizens of the town

to be a winning ticket was agreed upon.
There were three aspirants for the nom
nation of mayor-Messrs. e. d. Steele,
j. M. Sechrst and Capt. w. E. Johns.
The honor fell to Mr. Sechrist. The
aldermen nominated at this meeting are
as follows: Ward 1, NJ. j. Wrenn and
A. E. Tate; Ward 2, ]. w. Sechrist and
0. E. Kearnes; Ward 3, Dr. J. A. Turner
and B. B. Burns; Ward 4, f. N Tate and
S. L. Davis.
The meeting was intensely interesting
and the best of feeling prevailed among
the candidates who agreed to abide by
the decision of the convention and sup
port the nominees.
This promises to be a warm municip-
al election this time. The interest is
already great and becoming more so as
election draws nigh.

way crossing on South Elm street early
this morning.
They stepped from moving train on
one track on to another track, when o

ward and pull them from the track. at
the peril OF his own life.
An employe of the Greensboro -,~ri-

fingers so seriously mangled in a Joining
machine this morning as to require am
putation. All the fingers of his left hand
were taken off at the knuckles.

Durham, ~ c., April 30.-The contract
between the State Telephone Com

Supply Company, of Chicago, was FLED
in the office of Register of Deeds
this morning. Under the contract the
new switchboard is to be in place by
June 1st. 1t is to take the place of the
one ruined in the First National Bank
fire on the first night in this year, and
will cost $12,500. 1t will have total Of
twelve hundred drops, half of which will
be installed at once.
On the reform ticket here is the name
of w. J. Christian, while the regulars
have named T. S. Christian, his brother.
They are both hard at work and on cleo
ton day will do what they can to defeat
each other. Again: A. NJ. Rigsbee is one
of the nominees for alderman on the
regular ticket. His son, R. H. Rigsbee. is
member of the anti-saloon executive
committee, a leading spirit in the anti
saloon movement and strong support
er of the reform ticket. Both of these
men, father and son, are constantly at
work and are using their best efforts to
help the other to a defeat.
c. M. Herndon is nominated on both
tickets He signed the call for the regu-
lar mass meeting. When the reform
meeting was held he was named on that
ticket and when asked about why this
was done, some of those on the anti
saloon side said that he was a true re-
former. and that he signed the call of
the other side under a misapprehension
When the time came for holding the sec
ond mass meeting, however, he was
present, participated in the convention
and was named on the ticket 1t is
understood that on yesterday the anti
saloon people sent a man to him and re-
quested him to publish a card withdraw
ing from the regular ticket. He refused
to do so, saying that it was his mass
meeting that he was one of the signers
and that he intended to remain on the
ticket
The first meeting of the executive com
mittee for the regular ticket was held
this evening, and they planned the clos.
ing scenes of the campaign.
There Is a battle royal on between
Mayor M. e. McCown and Capt. j. F.
Freeland for the mayoralty. 1t is an
individual race and neither of the two
men has been endorsed by the mass
meetings. 1t is the general opinion,
however, that Captain Freeland is the
candidate of the reform element and
that Mayor McCown stands for election
on the popular ticket, where he has al
ways stood.
The new road machinery, the latest
improved, has arrived and will be I'M
loaded from the train tomorrow. In the
new lot is steam road roller, ten ton
and two road wagons, The cost of the
three pieces was $1,000. With the wagons
and roller put into commission the prog

Mrs. Garrett is evidently woman
of advanced education. Being a prac-

she will keep her own dockets, and,
possessing some knowledge Of legal
forms, she will use that knowledge
to acquire more. A number of cases,
small but important to the litigants,
have already been continued from
the docket of the retiring justice to
that over which Justice Garrett will
