INcEED1ARY ADVICE.

A Pennsylvania negro preacher told his
congregation: But two things are open
to the negro-trust IN God and the shot
gun His theology is off its base when
he couples the two God is never on the
side OF violence, but of peace. No law
abiding. peaceable. industrious negro in
any southern State feels any apprehen-
sion about his safety. Lynch law is
wrong always, but it is never put in OPP
GRAFTON except upon murderers and rapists.
TO try to iniame the mass Of negroes
and urge them to provide themselves with
shot guns is a gospel utterly at variance
with the admonition Trust in God" Ne
groes who trust in God and walk correct
" arc never molested, but treated kindly
ana protected by their white neighbors.
THAT preacher viii be responsible for
murder if his congregation needs his ad
monitions He would do well to read the
Bible again unless he wishes it to be said
IN his case that when the blind lead the
blind they will both fall in the ditch.

Salisbury, N. c., June 30.-A cordial re-
ception was rendered Rev. j. M Hay
more as the new pastor of the Baptist
church at Spencer last nights Addresses
of welcome were delivered by representa-
tive citizens of the town besides special
music arranged for the occasion. The new
pastor responded with few touching re-
marks which made a deep impression on
his congregation. Rev. Mr.. Haymore
comes from Wake Forest and is well
equipped for his work.
The Southern Railway officials have
abolished the office of assistant mechani-
cal superintendent which has heretofore
been filled by Mr.. j. B. Michaels, who has
accepted the place as master mechanic
at the shops In Knoxville, Tenn. Two
general master mechanics have been cho-
sen to perform the work of this office and
a Mr.. Hainene, formerly with the Erie
Railway, and Mr.. A. Stewart, formerly of
Knoxville, have been engaged The form
er will make headquarters at Greensboro,
and the latter at Chattanooga, Tennes-
see.
serious fire was narrowly ayerted on
the Southern yards at Spencer Saturday
night. A material car loaded with powder,
Gil and paint, caught fire and it was only
by the prompt action of the shop fire de-
partment that the flames were extin-
guished. The damage is placed at less
than 81 900.
The U. s. Weather Bureau has estab-
lished display station at Spencer, the

NORTH CAROLINA At WORLDS
FAIR.

Yesterday at the Governors office plans
spirited men of North Carolina to raise
the money necessary to make a great ex
hibit at the Worlds Fair in st. Louis
next year. The appropriation made by
the Legislature is available only if like
amount is subscribed by individuals OF
corporations. 1t is believed that this
amount will be subscribed many times
over when the matter is presented to the
bankers, railroad men, manufacturers,
business men, truckers and other prosper
Gus and progressive interests in the State.
North Carolina has been ahead of all
Southern States at all the great Exposi
tions. For fifty thousand dollars it car
make an exhibit that viii be as excellent
as any other State can make by an ey-
penditure of twice that sum, because for
twenty years we have been collecting a
permanent exhibit, much of which can be
transferred to the st. Louis Exposition
The gentlemen who were here yesterday
had talked with other successful men IN
the State and they are confident that the
necessary money will be subscribed to
guarantee a suitable exhibition OF North
Cardinals resources.
There has never been time when the
State was in better position to raise

will visit number of the leading towns
and cities of the State and present this
matter to its most progressive business

HE OUGHT TO HAVE 80 LASHES on
HIS BARE BACK.

I11O DAM DAM
Winston Journal.
There is in the hands of the law in this
city respectable hard working woman,
effort in their power to secure an ac-
quittal for their clients.
Jurors should calmly and seriously weigh
the evidence submitted on the trial
They should exercise their own judgment
as earnestly and honestly as if in mat
ter vital to themselves, and decide the
matter from their honest judgment, as not
to please any man. A man is wholly
unfit to be Juror who does not intend to
do his utmost to ascertain the facts from
the evidence submitted by the witnesses.
He should listen to the instructions of the
a white woman, who is incarcerated to de-
fend her against self destruction She is
tired of life. All the bright hopes of her
youth have like Soddom apples lost the
richness of their hue and turned to ashes.
She is the wife of a man who is without
manhood. Self respect is unknown to him.
He has provn false to the VOWS he made
on the day when this woman, young and
hopeful, stood bride at his side seeing
nothing but roses along the path of the
future. He has lost his integrity, but she
still loves him and to an extent that his
perfdity has made her existence miserable.
Sunday afternoon she attempted to buy
morphine and did not hesitate to say that
she intended to end her life. Her manner
showed that she was in arrest. She was
demonstrated with but to no avail. and
as a last resort she was arrested. She Is
now in Jail and the officials are afraid to
give her freedom, as she might carry her
awful determination into execution.
Her husband is at large. He has &C.
knowledged to the jailer that he has not
treated his wife right. He tries to rdiculc
his wifes conduct by saying she is jeal-
Gus. In saying this he did not stop, but
confessed that she had cause. He has I'M
Willingly eliminated himself His conduct
has been reported before. He is a Grim
inal and should be so dealt with. If the
wife be liberated and he continues to lead
a double life it may mean suicide for the
wife. If he be placed in Jail the cause OF
the sorrow and trouble will ceasa the
mind of the foolish wife will be drawn
away from suicidal intent by her effol IL
to aid him, and he being properly dealt
with may reform.
The wrong one of these two people is
in Jail. The woman will be safe from self
destruction if the man is locked up. and
the laws of society and decency will not
continue to be violated if justice be metcd
out to him.

FALSE PLEADING.

P. d. Gold in Wilson Times.
When a lawyer is urging the acquittal
of his clients, who is shown to be guilty
he will use the maxim. ut is better that
ten guilty men escape punishment, rather
than one innocent man be punished" But
the question is not whether an innocent
man be punished or not. The question is
this. Is the man on trial. or the men on
trial, guilty or not guilty of the accusa-
ton against them Let them have a fair
trial. and if they are proven guilty it is
as much the duty OF the officers OF the
law to punish them as it is to exoneratc
them If they are innocent. Shall mercy
be shown to the guilty, or to the public?
Justice says show mercy and justice too
to the public. by furnishing the guilty
1t is easy and common for artful law
yers to conceal the real issue, and make
a false one by some special pleading to
direct men from the real object of the
law
The more guilty men are the greater
are their efforts to escape punishment
We expect when corrupt man does a
wicked thing he will deny it. or defend
himself. We do not look for any thing
else. Therefore his words should have no
weight after his guilt is proven.
We are sorry that men commit crimes.
1t would be so much better for them co
do right. Then they would be a benefit
to others. and have so much better living.
But we expect lawyers that love money
more than they love justice to use every

ton with Atlantic Coast Line for a third
of century, the Goldsboro Argus says:
In this lie loytlay to friends and

traits of character known to man. In Mr..
Galloway loyalty abounded in the su-
perlative degree. The best years of his
life were devoted to the service of the
Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company.
He saw it grow from the little Whining
ton and Weldon Railroad Company to
be giant among the railroad companies
of the world, and our road as he fond
ly spoke of the railroad company, never
had more faithful, more loyal, more
useful man in its service. Captain Gal
loway's home life was ideal and his walk
among his fellowmen was exemplary and
edifying. He fulfilled every duty in every
relation of life in it's fullest measure of
obligation, and coming at length to the
goal full OF years and conscious of faith

umbrella over the young lady's head and
remained there until the grave was filled,
when it flew away in precisely the same
way it had come.
Several people called the lady's atten-

her if she wished it to be driven away, to
which she replied that she did not. as she
believed it to be a heavenly messenger.

people concerned in this latest move were
terribly grieved and likewise Frustrated
over the closing of Greensboro Female
College and that they were doing every
thing possible to prevent the college from
remaining closed? 1t is somewhat signi-
f1cant that this latest movement should
spring into being just at a time when

ter the calamity had taken action and af-
ter. or at a time. when the whole State
was aroused. 1t is at least a very pecu-
liar incident. we repeat. In this connec-
ton it might be stated that the library
of the Greensboro Female College was
last week removed to Trinity College, ex.
actly why we do not know. Why this
haste if all parties we're so greatly anxious
to rejuvenate the college? There are 9th
er incidents which have taken place that
are equally as significant However this
may be. we earnestly hope the great wo-
mans college will materialize at Trinity
There are several reasons why this is to
be desired. chief among which is the fact
that it will then result in the opening of
