STRAIGHTFORWARD" and fatally incrim-
mating as this confession could not
fail to be to the minds of strangers, 1t
satisfied me less than it had satisfied
the clergyman who had taken it down
from Samuel FIeetwood's dying lips.
Certainly that portion of it was false
which referred to his drawing the ring
off the finger Of the dying man, and his
having thrown it into the river. The
ring was in my pocket, and, from the
moment l found it there, had never
left my possession. I had hoped that

the confession would have set my con-
science at rest. 1t had not done so.

missing from. the packet. 1t was for

declared. Doubtless the clergyman had

Helping the Speed of Ships.

1t is said that Professor Carlo del
Lungo, Of Spezzia, Italy, who is an in
structor at the Royal College, has pat
ented scheme for promoting the speed
of ships by lubricating their sides. His
belief is that by pumping air into the
water around a vessel he can reduce
the density of the fluid, and thus lessen
the friction. Some tests have already
been made with the system at Leg.
horn, and Professor del Lungo says
that they were entirely satisfactory.
Other experiments on more extensive
scale are to take place in England dur
ing the present month.
While the invention can be applied
to all ships, the author of it says that
it can be carried to q still higher de-
gree of efficiency by notifications in
the form of the yesses.-Tribune

This cooperation and assistance can
be best subserved at this time by
granting to every farmer possible an
extension of his accounts and notes
to January 1st. 1906. If this is done
promptly. an absolute tie-up of the
cotton market can be made for the
next two or three months and the
spinners will be compelled to have
large quantities of spot cotton before
the end of that time. Prices must
advance in the enar future. The time

Especial to News and Observer
Wallace, \. c., Oct. 21,-One of the

is being conducted at the Peoples To-
bacco Warehouse, by Rev. John 7.
Jenkins. of the First Baptist church.
of Wilson, assisted by Rev. j. A. Nc
Kaug1m. of Brooklyn's Baptist church,
of Wilmington.
At the morning services of October
goth it was decided to organize
Baptist church here, and at the even
ing services thirty persons united
themselves with the Wallace BJptist
church. Messrs. Frank Powers, A. r,
Sloan, NJ. B. Pope, n. H. Carter, B.
Sloan, and Il. j. Carter have labortd
zealously and prayerfully for several
years to establish a Baptist church at
this place, and God has crowned their
efforts most graciously.
At this writing the meeting is still
going on with increasing interest.
Many souls have been converted that
have not connected themselves with
any branch yet, and the other churches
of the community are likely to be
strengthened by this revival.
1t takes a swift man to pursue a
