A MEETING OF DAYS.
At lions Hill Baptist Church
Many Converted and Baptized.

To the Editor of The Robesonian.
The revival services Of this
church were held according to
previous appointment, commenc-
ing July 11th at 8. O'Clock p. m.
with Rev. E. 0. johnson, Of St.
Paul's in attendance to assist
the pastor. The meeting con-
tinued during the following week,
with a very large and attentive
concourse of people in attendance
to worship with the church. Il
was very evident, from the soul
stirring message delivered by
Bro. E. O. johnson, that the
spirit of Christ was moving tFe
hearts of the people, Budding
them come to Him for peace and
pardon, when brethren Herman
Allen, Henry M. Mercer, James
M. Mercer, Chester c. Howell
and Giles w. Mercer accepted
the calls and invitations OF the
spirit of Christ and came for
ward and were received to the
ordinance of baptism. While we
greatly fear that there was a
vast number that did not heed
the calls of mercy, yet we humbIy
pray that the seed that has been
sown during this week may IN
the near future be the means OF
a great ingathering of many
souls into the fold of Christ.
The pastor announced that the
ordinance of baptism would take
place on next day at Smith bridge
: at 9 o'clock p. m. The time
having arrived for the ordinance
of baptism it was noted by thu
t writer that there was a yer.
large concourse of people assem-
bled at the waters edge to wit
, ness the scene. The pastor le'
the newly-made converts il
, Christ down into the bap
tismal stream, and burie
them with Christ in baptism
after which the congregation re
assembled at the church, whe
the right hand of church fellow
ship was extended to the newl
+ baptized believers in Christ. afte
l which a very instructive an
soul-stirring message was deliN
i cred by Bro. Johnson, based W
), on a part of the 9th verse of tn
d I'd chapterof the book of Exodu:
l. conveying the idea that the me-
:. converts were now submitted
It the care of the church, and thu
it should nurse and train thel
l. for the Masters use; and that
k would receive wages for tt
e same. The choir then sang son
beautiful songs of praise, durir
al which the church and a vel
s. large concorse of people extent
d ed their right hand to the past
and Bro. johnson with a pror

CENSUS OF 1890.

of Americas Population Now

Washington Dispatch to Brooklyn Eagle.
Of unusual interest is the an
nouncement just made by Direc-
tor North, of the Census Bureau,
that the volumes containing the
first census Of the United States,
taken in 1880, are now in press.
It is expected that these publica-
tions will be in great demand by
those persons who are fond of
tracing back their lineage to the
Gavin of the republic, for the
books will contain the names of
all the heads of families then in
this country, so far as it has been
possible to obtain them from the
records.
The first census comprised an
enumeration of the inhabitants
of the present States of Connec-
ticut, Delaware, Georgia, Ken
lucky, Maine, Maryland, Massa-
chusetts, New Hampshire, New
Jersey, New York, North Caro-
lima, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island:
South Carolina, Tennessee, Yer
mont and Virginia. A complete
set of the schedules for each
State, with summary for the
counties, and in many cases fol
the towns, were filed in the State
Department, but unfortunately
they are not now complete, the
returns for the State of Dele

People Tired of Being Bossed by
a Few Men-Candidates Su9.

gested.
To the Editor of The Robesonian.
| wish enough space in your
valuable paper to give my choice
men for the Legislature in this
year of vindications and finance
committees. think we should
choose our very best men to go
to the Legislature. They say there
is no danger of a Republican
landslide, but, fellow Democrats,
the people of Robson county, in
my opinion, are getting tired of
being bossed by a few men; they
want the majority to rule.
Now, fellowcitizens, l wish to
ask the nomination and election
of John E. Carlyle, of Raft Swamp
township, and W. ]. Mcleod, Of
Red Springs. These gentlemen,
along with K. M. Barnes, fol
Senator, will insure Robson
another and another Democratic
victory.
It would be taking too much
space for me to try to give the
many qualifications of these gen
tlemen: will just say vote fol
them.
