1t is melancholy fact that the
religion of many persons is not con.
stantly operative, but is manifested
periodically, or at some particular
times. 1t is assumed, for instance, on
the Sabbath. but is laid aside on the
shelf during the week days; but true
holiness is not thing to be worn for
occasions; to be put off or put on, with
an easy accommodation to circum-
stances or to ones private convenience.
1t takes too dsep root in the heart to
be SO easily disposed of as such course
would imply. 1t Is meat, with which
we are fed; clothing, with which we
are clothed; the interior and perma-
nent principal of life, which animates
and sustains the whole man.
The only safe way is to live in the
present tense. Yesterday we cannot
reach, except that we may repent Of
Its sins and be forgiven, and the future
has not yet come, and will be sufficient
unto itself on its arrival. Today is our
own. The duty Of life with US is
''now." To live humbly toward God,
to live courageously and generously,
reaching out our hands in brot herly
way and doing what good we can
to-day h our privilege. Every day
tfived right will make it better for us
tomorrow, whatever that may be. To
live each day as though we only had
the one day on earth-the one day In
which to do good, the one day In
which to praise God, the one day in
which to be loyal to- Christ, the one

There will also be short talks by diff

est organization of University men Of
any place in North Carolina.

There was a hearing before United
States Commissioner S. P. Collier ye.-
terday in which a negro pilot by the
name of Henry Cromartie was charg-
ed with endeavoring to incite mutiny
among the crew Of the steamer A.
]. Johnson which runs between Will
mington and Black River points.
The warrant was sworn out against
Cromartie about a year ago buE the
federal authorities have just been able
to locate him:akHe was arrested IN
one of the adjoining counties by Dep
uty Sheriff c. O.tKsox and brought to
this city. Principal witness against
the negro was Captain Jasper Black
who was master on the steamer when
the trouble occurred He testified that
the steamer was making her regular
trip and at Fair Bluff stopped to dis
charge freight. Cromartie, it seems,
made a remark to one of the negro
deck hands in regard to a sack of meat
he was carrying, making the assertion
that he would not carry the sack Of
meat for any white man, the remark
being accompanied by an oath. Cap
tain Black ordered him to return 10
the pilot house, whereupon he replied
that the only way Captain Black colld
make him obey would be to kill him
| and then they would both go to -
together. Time and again did the
captain endeayor to make the insOlent
negro pilot return to the pilot house,
but he stoutly refused to obey. Cap
tain Black stated yesterday that it
caused considerable uneasiness among
the lady passengers and the men were
in favor of reOrting to extreme meas
ures, but Captain Black testified that
he did not care to run the risk OF
bringing on more serious trouble, but
preferred waiting until he could turn
the negro over to the proper authori-
ties. When the steamer reached Point
Caswell the negro was turned over 10
a magistrate. The matter was after
wards adjusted, but when Captain
Black reached Wilmington he swore
out a warrant against CrOmartie
! charging him with trying to incite mu-
tiny on the steamer, which is a very
serious offense. The evidence Of Cap
tain Black was c~orroborated by sever
all other witnesses who saw the whole
affair.
Cromartie gave his version Of the at
fair, but the evidence was such that
Commissioner Collier bound him ovel
to the next term of federal court, and
in default of a $500 bond Cromartle
was committed to Jail.
Cromartie was defended by Mr.. l..
V. Grady, and Hon. John D. Bellamy
prosecuted, having been employed by
Captain Black.

bered departed comrades but their

the young and gay Il their bright
voices o brought them back 70

OF the occasion prevailed among all.
A most interesting musical pro-
gramme was rendered last night and
consisted of confederate songs which
were rendered with a spirit and vim
that could not have ben surpassed
by the soldiers in the days of '63.
Those who especially looked after the
entertaining of the veterans were, Mrs.

CAPITAL INCREASE
BIRMINGHAM DISTRICT HOPEFUL
OF MUCH BENEFIT.
Board of Directors of Tennessee Coal,
Iron AID Railroad Company
Meet This week I'm Tracy,
Tennessee.

Birmingham, Sept. 23.--(Special. -
The increasing of the capital of the
Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad
Company at special meeting
to be held the early part of the
coming month at Tracy City, Tenn,
will mean considerable for the Birm-
ingham district.
While 1t is understood that the in
crease capital stock Is to be used in
completing the merging of the Tennes-
see with the Republic Iron and Steel
Company, IL Is also believed that quite
large sum of money will be employ
ed in betterments and further develop
ments of properties in this district.
The Tennessee Company now has
work under way which will call for an
outlay of several million dollars al
ready.
The big steel plant to be erected
near the present steel plant at Ensley
promises to be modern in every detail
The practical rebuilding of three of the
six furnaces at Ens1ey' will also call
for a large expenditure Of money. The
construction Of more track for the Bfr-
mingham Southern Railroad will cost
some money, while development in ore
fields absolutely necessary will also
bring about the loosening of pocket
strings. =,
oficials of the Tennessee Company In
Birmingham can give no details of the
plans that have been outlined follow
ing the meeting to be held at Tracey
City at which the increase In the CAPT
tai stock will be voted,
The meeting itself will be very
formal affair. Several men with prox-
les will probably gather in the general
Offices maintained at Tracey City and
vote the increase and perform such
other business as will be required to
comply with the law.
The business in reality Is transacted
I'm New York and Pittsburg where the
directors reside and where John A.
Topping. who is president OF the Re-
public Company and chairman of the
Tennessee board has office. However,
there is much interest taken in the
probable outcome of the great Increase
In capital stock and no little talk is be-
ing INDUCED In as to what is likely to
be done in the way of Improvement In
the Birmingham district.
