VALUABLE AND INTERESTING

The annual address before the

subject will be, 1.-The Men and Meas

There is no man in the State so

interesting story of old time Method

in what is now Pamlico county, and
during his long ministry. covering over
half a century, has preached i'm nearly
every section of the State, having dur

home in Western North Carolina. He
is an old fashioned Methodist preach
er without any frills. He believes
in old time methods, but is no "old
foggy'' living i'm the past. He is a
common sense preacher and man
who loves men and loves his country
and lives the religion he breaches.
That's the. thing that more than all
else commends the gospel to men
who are not in the church-living the
gospel.

MISS ROOSEVELT TO MARRY.
Said To BE Engaged to Congressman
Longworth, OF Ohio.

Much has been written of the dare
which Miss Alice Roosevelt gave in
Japan. Here is the story as given
by Prof. Carl, organist of the First
Presbyterian church in New York, who
was with the Taft pat y, Japan:
Representative Longworth, the
professor says, was already in the tank
in bathing costume when Miss Roose-
welt, arrayed in white, came on deck.
MI. Longworth made some remark
about the salubrious character of the
water, when Miss Roosevelt turned to
the Senator, whose name Professor
Carl will not mention and dared him
to jump in. Without waitin~ for the
Senator to take the dare Miss Roose-
Welt dived into the tank. Tossing off
his coat the Senator leaped after her.
Professor Carl says he arrived on
deck While Miss Roosevelt was still in
the water, and the affair was taken
by the whole company as an original
and pleasant joke on the Senator.
Miss Roosevelts engagement to
Mr.. LongWorth, Professor Carl said
seemed to be taken as understood
among the Taft party. Miss Roosevelt
was addressed by tho foreigners
wherever she was entertained as

WILL PAY FOR HIS TRAIN.
Mr.. Roosevelt's Train to Raleigh VIII
BE in Charge OF the South
ern Railway.

The Baltimore Sun has the follow
| ing about the train that Will bring the
President to Raleigh:
Public interest in the free use OF
the railroads by President Roosevelt
at the same time thar he is urging
| the enactment OF more stringent laws
| for the regulation Of traffic has been
intensified by the publication of an ar
ticle in the Railroad Gazette, pointing
out that railroads violated the Inter
State Commerce law every time they
carried the President for nothing or
for nominal charge.
The coming tour of the President
| to the South, beginning October Is,
will cover about 1000 miles 1t will
| include Richmond, Va, and Raleigh,
n. c. and the homestead where his
mother was born, at Roswell, Ga;
Atlanta, Memphis and other places
| on the route. The trip will take about
ten days.
1.-The President probably will have
on this tour a private car, baggage
| car two sleepers and a dining car.
For such service the railroads or
Ginarily charge about $3.50 a mile,
which would bring the ordinary charge
for such a trip for transportation
alone up to about $4,000.
IF there are twenty persons in the
| party-and usually there are quite
| that many on the Presidents train,
the cost of meals will be about $50 q
day, or ten days 5000. Thus the or
binary expenses of the trip, If paid
for at the open rate'-that is to say.
the rate that under the Interstate
law the railroads would turn over the
car to any civilian-the cost would be,
at the lowest figure $500
The Southern Railway will have
charge of the President during his
October trip. 1t is preparing to give
the finest possible service, and the
train probably will be a superb af-
fair. If this railroad made the 'nomi-
nal charge OF $50 day, which the
Railroad Gazette intimates was the OF
fer of the railroad that managed the
Presidents trip to Texas and Colorado
and which was rejected, then the
Presidents bill for the journey would
be only $500, instead Of $500.
Inquiries were made today or ON
GERS Of the Southern Railway as TO
what the arrangement was that would
govern the payment on his southern
trip. 1t was said that the arrangements
had been made by the executive ofh-
GERS who were out of the city, ana
the added statement was made that
the Southern Railway was very glad
TO carry the President at the figure
that had been agreed on, because it
would result in larger passenger
traffic to the Southern cities than
had ever been known before. The
statement was made, however, that
the President was paying for the
train.
During this tour of the South the
Presidents special will go over the
tracks of the Southern, the Louisville

Spirit of the Press.
Warehouse Evangelists.

Charity and Children.
This very expressive name for GER
tain rowing preachers who set towns
on fire, have 500 conversions, seven
of whom join the church and one of
whom holds out, and collect six hun
dred dollars to defray the expenses of
the meeting, was given to us by "a
minister the other day. 1t is SO un-
like the spirit of the gospel to sweep
men into confession under powerful
and unusual pressure, that there is
rood room for doubt whether these
huge meetings do more harm than
good. In old days there were great
revivals but they were altogether diff
ferent from warehouse meeting.
There was pungent conviction OF SIN
and a mighty cry that God would
have mercy, and after the meeting
was over scores and hundreds We're
added to the church. Now the
evangelist pleasantly discusses the
general evils of the day, cracks joke
once in a While, and entertains the
great crowds that throng his preach
ing with a bright lecture After he
has gone the churches drag them
selves together and spend the balance
Of the year trying to recover from the
high pressure of thewarehou Sc. We
are delighted that so few of our Bap-
fist churches are engaging in this
spectacular and popular method and
that among us there are so few ware
house preachers. The place to hold
meeting is not in a warehouse but
in a church, and the man to do the
preaching is not a warehouse evangel-
list but a pastor who knows how to
sympathiZe with a brother pastor, and
who does not depend on his success
as an evangelist to make a living.
The world is weary of the spec
tacular in religion, anyhow. People
enjoy that sort Of thing while it is
going on, but it leaves a bad taste in
the mouth and lowers the tone of the
churches in the community. This is
especially true where the prodigious
efforts that are put forth are SO ut
terly barren of real results. Wise in
deed is that pastor who, If he must
have help i'm his meetings, secures the
services OF some faithful and unad-
vertised brother, who was never
drunkard, but who lives the gospel
that he breaches; and who, when he
leaves "a community, does not drain it
OF it's cash. but who carries with him
the affection and confidence of the
people. From the warehouse meeting
and the warehouse preacher may the
Lord deliver us!

THE CHINESE QUESTION.

IL is given out from Washington
that i'm his speech It Raleigh the
President will discuss his policy re-
speeding the Chinese boycott PROPOSE
ton. "As the boycott. which was a
Shanghai scheme of merchants and is
now dead. it is difficult to see what
good can be accomplished by dis
cussng that last years birds nest.
We are also told that the President
does not believe in letting down the
bars for Chinese coolies. He does
believe that the most liberal treat
ment should be accorded Chinese
merchants. students and travellers
who want to come into the United
States" Nobody objects to that pro-
vided they buy a return ticket to
China and are escorted out of the
country. and provided further that
there is some safe and sure way to
guarantee that a whole multitude of
coolies do not come in as students"
and remain in the United States.
AS a matter of fact the men who
wish the laws with reference to the
Chinese are men who wish to i'm
p port cheap labor to work on rail-
roads, in mines and on the farms All
they see is cheap labor that can be
controlled The only sentiment in the
South for most liberal laws is from
men who wish to have at hand an
abundance of labor accompanied by
the lowest order of intellect. Chinese
coolies are little else than slaves. Sla-
very was "a curse to the South. While
the Importation of Chinese labor
would temporarily prove profitable to
large contractors and possibly to the
holder of large bodies of land, it
would be a much worse evil to the
South than slavery II the South had
never seen slavery it would have been
as rich as any part Of this Republic.
No country, can prosper that is look
ing for cheap labor" We need in
telligent labor that demands fair pay
and is willing and anxious by skill
and muscle to earn it. The coming
of Chinese would retard Southern
progress and the suggestion of 1t is
dangerous to the highest interests of
the South and would work injustice
TO those laborers who should not be
put I'm competition with the rice eat
ing Chinese who regard broiled rats
as Injuries.
As for students, merchants and
travellers that letting down the bars
would be so evaded as to let in about
as many Chinese coolies. all carrying
guide-books and biographies ana
ledgers as came i'm before the
exclusion acts were passed.
We want immigrants. but no Chi
nese. If you please!

Its Development is Attracting Mergers
That Mean Much for Eastern
North Carolina.
(Goldsboro Argus. }

When the Atlantic and North Caro-
lima Railroad was leased to the How
land Improvement Company a year
ago, il was opined that big schemes OF
development We're behind the move
nent, and when Senator Aldrich, Mr.
Marsden j. Perry and q score of Rhode
Island capitalists came down here and
made trip of inspection over the A
and n c. with Mr.. Rowland our peo-
pie became satisfied that there were
Zig schemes on foot looking to the
development of this road and the mar
Dor at Beaufort.
Soon after that trip OF inspection
by the Rhode Island capitalists there
was a reorganization of the leasing
company, and the road passed into
the hands of the Atlantic and North
Carolina Company, with Mr.. Marsden
j. Perry as president, and Mr.. Frank
5. Cannon as general manager, and
the work of improving the physical
condition of the A. and n. G. r. r.,
it's roadbed, new cross ties, new steel
rails, new steel bridges and culverts,
rev passenger coaches and freight
cars; coal burners" etc, etc, was
inaugurated on broad and expensive
lines, so much so that, instead of tax
ing three years in which to eXpend
$250,000 in permanent improvements
on the road, as agreed upon in the
lease, the lessee company have already
within one year--expended $3.50,
600, and have hardly yet begun; for
in addition to this great sum already
expended the work OF building the
steel bridge that is to cost quarter
of a million dollars across the sound
at Morehead City commenced last
week, and about the same time that
this latter work was inaugurated there
was a meeting of Norfolk and South
ern Railroad stockholders In New
York, and a reorganization and an
election of new directors of that com
pany and the result is most s1gnl1l-
cant, and should give renewed enthu-
siasm to those hereabouts VINO nave
abided in the faith, that the leasing
Of the A. and n. c. r. r. was the be-
ginning of a new era for Eastern North
Carolina, one that should mark UNI
dreamed of development and marvel
Gus growth.
1t is significant that at the New
York meeting of the Norfolk and
Southern the following were elected
directors of that road: Messrs VIM.
L. Bull, New York; S. II. Cot, presl-
dent of the United States rubber
Company, Providence, X. l.; Marsdeil
j. Perry, Providence, X. l.; FRANK D
Cannon, New York.
Mr.. Marsden J. Perry was elecled
president of the road, but no change
was made in the position OF M Is.
ing. who has been the vlce-presldeht
and general manager of the company
since its organization.
So the A and n. C. and the NorIolk
and Southern have the same president
and are under the same directorate;
Will there be a connecting INK
built and a merger of the TWO roaus

Pettigrew and the Industrial News.

Asheville News Gazette.
A few days ago the Raleigh News
and Observer charged, with interest
ing circumstantiality, that when
Former Senator Butler went to New
Jersey to buy the press for the In
dustrial News, he was accompanied by
Former Senator Pettigrew. This cir
cumstance was cited by the Raleigh
paper as cumulative evidence of the
truthfulness of its charge, made some
time ago. that Messrs. Butler. Petit
grew a. Russell would at some time
use the proposed Republican organ as
an aid in their bond suits against the
State. The story drew the attention
of Republican Chairman Rollins, who
denied that Mr.. Pettigrew had acquir-
ed any interest in the Industrial News,
or that any stock subscriptions had
been sought from him, to which the
News and Observer came back thus:
Here follows the reply OF The News
and Observer to Rollins-Editor.
Since Mr.. Rollins has said as much
1t must be accepted as a fact that Mr..
PettigreW has not acquired any imam
cial interest in the News, but it must
likewise be admitted that the Raleigh
paper has made out right strong
case on circumstantial evidence. Is
Mr.. Rollins being imposed upon in
Pettiglew has put no money directly
into the venture. We do not see why
he should assume any such needless
expense 50 long as his side partner
Mr.. Butler, has established d predomi-
mating influence over the whole af
fair. 1t would be a piece of sheer ex-
travagance for Mr.. Pettigrew, or for
that matter for Mr.. Butler, to make
any actual outlay of cash in buying
machinery to start a Republican or
gan Wher they only have TO select the
machinery and send the bill to Mr..
Rollins.
A few days since we took occasion
to remark upon the vast amount of
political business Mr.. Butler could
transact on just small amount of
capital, and a contemporary. in Civ
ing us a good, deep dig, suggested
that little fellows should remember
that brains are capital Brains are,
indeed, the best capital Mr.. Butler
is obviously in the brain trust, and
he deserves to succeed in all his un-
dertakings with very little trouble
and no expense to himself
