There is not the shadow of a doubt

awarded a prize by the jury. The
fault lies somewhere and with
somebody. We need not be
prized that injured parties some
times take the law in their own
hands. The offense of Michael,
the man whom they intended to
kill, was a grave one and ought to
have been severely punished, hut
by law. We must call a halt in the

The Baptist State Convention
met in Goldsboro last week. Br-
it. H. Marsh of Oxford was
President. This meeting marks
the close of another Conventional
year in this progressive
nation. As a church it is doing
much for the uplifting and
of thousands of those in the
State who would otherwise remain
in almost utter ignorance both
mentally and morally. There is a
growing sentiment among the de-
nomination to do move in this
They feel and are emphasizing
the importance of going into every
part of the State and preaching the
gospel to the poor and fostering a
desire among them for better
facilities. There has been
wonderful progress in this direction
and to-day there are more preach-
all over the State doing their
work, and more schools establish-
ed under their influence than ever
before in the history of the State.
Wake Forest College is indeed the
right arm of the Convention. The
work it is doing for the
in thoroughly equipping its
ministers for their work and fitting
young men to fill every position
and profession open to them
and is a power
which is bringing invaluable good
to us all. The Convention fully
recognizes this and the Col-
holds one of the first daces in
the efforts and hearts of all its
members.
A great work is also being done
in Home, State and Foreigners
Missions, and in for the or-
of the State. The
to the various objects of
the Convention for the past year,
were near on to sixty thousand
dollars. There were during this
same time fifteen thousand
to the membership of the de-
nomination. They have one
and twenty seven ministers
at work in the State Mission fields.
The work of the Convention has
more than doubled in the past five
years. These meetings are a groat
inspiration to all who attend them
and they return with renewed zeal
for their work. The spirit of this
Convention was admirable and the
plans inaugurated by it for the ac-
of even greater re-
than during last year are
only another evidence of the pow-

The Republicans have been try-
some of their old tricks in
York. They are accustomed
to use whatever means are
fair or unfair, to carry an
election. Failing of in this
the next thing to which they re-
sort is to steal. The people of
New elected a Democratic
Legislature much to the surprise
of Co. Not departing from
their established custom they have
been trying to steal enough places
to make the Legislature remain
Republican. However, they have
failed so far, as the Democrats
have members out of in the
House and a tie, if not a majority
in the Senate. The way of the
transgressor is hard and
Co. are fully realizing
this at present.
A northern sportsman from near
Pittsburgh Pa., in a conversation
with a Herald man Monday night,
told him that he had spent a week
at Newton, N. C-, and was greatly
disappointed at finding no birds.
He says his coming down into our
section was the greatest he
ever had, and that he had more
birds right around home than
could found in Newton. He
gave our country a kind of
on the bird line and returns
home with the promise that he
will never visit the section again.

Ex-President Cleveland declines
the invitation to visit Raleigh
during the present month. He
says his engagement and
forbids his having the pleas-
of being with his North Caro-
friends. A trip to the Expo-
and a speech would
have done much to allay the
opposition in this State to Mr.
Cleveland. It is a matter of regret
that he could not come as he seems
to be growing in favor since the
elections as the probable candidate
for the Presidency.

A little daughter of Register of
Deeds, D. H. James, not quite two
old, met with a very serious
accident Sunday morning. The
little girl and her father were sitting
near the fire when the small rocking
chair she occupied fell over forward
throwing her so near into the fire
that her right hand fell in a bed of
hot embers. Mr James
snatched her from the fire, but the
whole palm her hand and fingers
were dreadfully burned. Had her
lather not been near at tho time the
little one would no doubt have been
burned to death.

The musical concerts given by

that some of their best players

one of the season. Misses

On the following evening the of

joyed by the participants as it was
a late hour when the sweet strains
of Sweet was heard.
