SUITS AGAINST SOUTHERN
Especial to The Messenger.)

lSpcc7al To IBc Messenger
Goidsboro, \. c., February The
Southern railroad has quite a num-
Der of conductors and engineers I'm at
tendance upon Juperior court here to-
day to render evidence in the case of
Captain George Sasser, and engineer,
who had a leg broken and was other
wise injured in a collision about two
years ago. The case was set for to-
day but has not been called yet on ae-
count OF a cattle case from Mt. Olive
in which ]. III. Kornegay is suing DR..
Kornegay. This case has brought a
number of witnesses from the lower
edge of this county and from Duplin.
Yesterday afternoon the jury in the
case of Joseph Edwards against the
Southern Railway rendered a verdict
in favor of the plaintiff for $4,000.
Mr.. Edwards was suing the Southern
for failure to properly water and feed
a car load of stock in transit from the
west.
A negro named George Sutton went
to the city. hall yesterday and sur
rendered himself to the police saving
that he had shot another negro by the
name of Jesse Bailey. The two ne
groes had previously had some trou-
BILE and Bailey sent Sutton word that
he was going to kill him. Yesterday
afternoon, according to the story told
by Sutton. he was sitting in his door
at home in the northern part Of the
city when he saw Bailey coming.
Sutton says he went in the house and
got his pistol. When Bailey walked
UP he says o are the man / am
looking for and threw his hand in his
hip pocket. Before he could draw his
gun Sutton pulled his gun and fired.
Bailey ran down the street and made
his escape. Sutton says he is salts
fed that he struck Bailey at least
once. Bailey bears a bad reputation
in police circles, and Sutton has not
been molested.

Enforce the Law.

Let this year. then, be the year of
law enforcement
The first question is. What is your
sheriff doing to enforce the Watts act?
If he is not doing his duty you are
not doing your duty. No matter if you
are a temperance man and have al
ways voted for temperance laws-if
you let your sheriff neglect those laws
you are not doing your duty: instead
You are working against he temper
anc cause.
Sheriffs want TO be reelected. Tell
them they must close down distiller1es
and destroy blind tigers or give place
tosothers that will. If they say they
can't tell them there are others that
can.-Biblical Recorder.

THE BILL.

The Washington Star is the recog-
nized organ OF the administration
When 1t says what congress is ex-
pected to do it may be taken that 1t
is voicing, the opinion of the presi-
dent. Therefore there is marked sig
n~ificance in its recent statement that
it is expected the same influence
which pushed the statehood bill
through the house of representatives,
will give it success i'm the senate. 1t
declares this bill TO be a party mea-
sure, made SO by circumstances"
This is an admission that the republi-
can party thought it necessary to make
two states of these four territories in
order to give it four more. senator's.
The formation of these two states was
as clearly a case of gerrymander-
ing as was ever done by a state leg
islature for giving the party of the
majority in that body control of the
state senate or additional members
Of congress. The bill, though, has not
yet passed the senate and it may be
possible that the democrats can pre-
vent its passage there. 1t is such an
outrageous violation of the rights of
the reople of the four territories that
quite a number of republican mem
bers of the house would not vote for
it, though great pressure was brought
to bear to force them to do so, the
president even using his personal in
fuence in favor of the bill. There is
a possibility-a mere possibility,
though, it is-that In the senate
enough republicans will be found who
will not vote to force the people of
these territories into statehood under
conditions not desired by them, sim
ply because the leaders of the 'republi-
can party have decreed that it shall
be done in order to increase that
party's strength in the senate.

HOME AND SCHOOL ALUMNI.

number of years ago, while lying ill n Greece

deeply concerned over the question to who would
care for his family he then caned to his
reward. On his return to this country Dr. A p
Saunders went actively to work in the interest of the
widows and children of deceased ministers and chill
dren of missionaries the field. As result the
General Assembly 1893, in session in -Iacon, Ga
named the trustees of the Assemblys Home and
School at fredericksburg, Va
This institution has done noble work for our
church. 1t has now passed out of its infancy and
has begun to be practically felt and appreciated
Those who have directly received aid from it are
more and more realizing thaC the Home and School
has done for them something which they would have
received in other way.
In order to show this appreciation in some practi-
cal way there has recently been organized the Asso
citation of Alumni of the Assemblys Home and School
This consists of l2l and daughters of deceased
ministers, who have been at least in part educate,
by this institution and who are now located in
nineteen States besides children of missionaries now
in four foreign fields
The objects of the association as stated in the bv
laws are fourfold: to manifest spirit of apprecia-
ton and gratitude toward the Home and School: to
establish a bond of union between the alumni and
Home and School; to keep the alumni in touch
with another; and to an annual contribu-

STUDY YOUR BIBLE.

Neglect of the reverent study of Scripture is the
great fault of times. Christian people will at
tend conventions, plunge into all kinds of Christian
work, read many good books about the Bible and
Christian living but they give the Bible itself the
most cursOry and superficial heed. And IL is for mis-
reason that the Bible does not speak to them
If you would know all the wondrous beauty of
forest glade, you must not be satisfied with pass
ing through it with hasty foot and in company with
troop of merry children, whose ringing laughter
carries panic to the hearts of thousands of shv living
things, that with trembling hearts, keep till i'm hole
and brake, and nest No; you must 90 alone and
sit quietly down the log of some felled tree an,.
wait Then the mystery OF beauty will begin %
unfold itself-the fairy bowers the mossy glens .be
interlacng boughs. Presently note will sound from
yonder Dough, a signal for the outburst of many
sweet voiced choristers, and the woodlands will RING
with the music of the birds whilst the squirrel runs
up some neghOorng tree and the rabbits come out TO
feed, and the young foxes play about their holes
All this is hidden from those who cannot wait So
there are mysteries of glory and beauty in Scripture
hidden from the wise and prudent but revealed to
babes. There is no book that will so repay time
spent over its pages the Word of Cod
neglected Bible means a starved and strength
less spirit a comfortless heart barren life and
grieved Holy Ghost If the people, who are now
perpetually running about to meetings for crumbs
of help and comfort, would only stay at home and
search their Bibles there would be more happiness
in the church. and more blessing in the world It
is very prosaic counsel; but it is true.

THE CENTERvILLE COMMITTEE
WILL MAKE REPORT IN
A SHORT TIME.
~
BELIEVE WOULD Be CHEAPER
For Town to Manufacture It's Own
Light and Power-R Richmond
Could Furnish It.

The committee which has been in
vestigating the advisability Of estab-
lishing an electric light plant at Cen
terville will make its report to the
citizens of Centerville either Friday
or Saturday and the indications are
that it will recommend the build
ing of the plant.
The committee has consulted with
representatives of the Richmond
Light, Heat and Power Company and
Superintendent Rogers Of the Num-
cipal Lighting and Power plant with
the end in view of having the streets
of Centerville lighted with electrici-
ty from one of the two local plants,
but no satisfactory arrangements
were made.
The members of the committee
have as yet compiled no comparative
figures which would show the cheap
est method for securing electric light
for Centerville, but the committee Is
inclined to believe that home produc-
ton would prove to be the most sat-
isfactory.
The question has come up as to
whether the Richmond Municipal
Lighting and Power plant would have
the right to sell electricity outside
of Wayne township as the plant pays
no taxes to, the county. -
At the Richmond Light, Heat and
Power Company it is stated that the
matter of supplying electricity to
Centerville was thoroughly investi-
gated but that the committee in
charge of the enterprise seemed to be
entirely at sea and was unable to
submit any definite proposition.
They state that to supply electrici-
ty to Centervile it would be neces-
sary to increase from 1000 voltage
to 5000.

WATSON WILL BE REWARDED.
For His Work as Whip in the
House-Connersville Will Be
Given Federal Building. =

Washington, Feb. 14.-Representa-
tives Watson and Brick will get their
pork for faithful services rendered
the party organization. Mr.. Watson,
as whip of the house, displayed great
energy and skill in rounding up votes
for the Philippine tariff and state
hood bills. He has introduced a
bill appropriating 100000 for pub
lie building at Connersville, the cap
ital of Fayette county. He may not
get that large amount but he will
get an appropriation amply big
enough to construct a building that
will be source Of pride and JOY to
Fayette county citizens.
Mr.. Brick also worked hard to de-
feat the insurgents and by his ener-
gy and persistent campaigning he es-
tablished a clear title to a piece of
"pork' for South Bend. That city
already has a federal building, but it
is inadequate for the needs of the
service and Mr.. Brick has for years
been trying to secore an appropria-
ton for an addition to it. This year
lie will succeed.
