Impressive Ordination Sermon De-
livered by Rev. R. W. Hope,
f Chapel Hill.
It was a beautiful and
impressive scene that marked
the ordination to the priesthood
of Rev. B. F. Huske in St. Paul's
Episcopal church on Sunday. In
order that the service be not too j
long, morning prayer was said
at by Rev. J. Gordon, j
of Williamston, giving a short
intermission before the
which began at At this
hour a congregation assembled
that was so large as to complete-
overflow the church, many
having to be turned away for
lack of room.
After an opening hymn Rev.
R. W. of Chapel
who preached the ordination
announced his text
and part of His subject
was of the minister
consistent with his
He said that while men in other
callings were more or less chosen
for their business qualifications
rather than personal character,
when it comes to the minister of
Christ he must be a man of char-
and that character be con-
with his calling. He said
the minister must be a man of
sacrifice, a man of faith, a man of
prayer, a man of courage, a man
of vision. Each of these
were emphasized with force
by the speaker and illustrated
with beautiful figures. It was a
sermon that a deep
upon all who heard was
delivered with marked earnest-
and eloquence.
Then with Rev. Robert
Strange, bishop of the diocese of
E stern Carolina, the impressive j
ordination service was said. The
priest was presented by Rev.
Is W. Hughes, of Fayetteville.
The other clergy present and
taking part in the service were
Revs. F. N. Skinner, of t,
and W- J. Gordon, of Williams-
ton. At the conclusion of
Bishop Strange requested the
congregation to join in silent
prayer during a space of two
minutes for Divine blessing j
guidance upon the young priest
to be ordained. This was
was done devoutly and it was a
moment of deep solemnity and
earnest supplication to the
Heavenly throne. The bishop an i
all the visiting clergy then
together that they might
join in laying hands on the head
of the kneeling priest. Bishop
Strange handed a Bible and stole
to the priest with the commission
of authority to enter upon the
full duties and obligation of the
priesthood.
In the large congregation were
no more interested and happy
than Mr. and Mrs.
A. S. Huske, of Fayetteville, par-
of the young priest, who
with three others of their child-
Messrs. M. S. and Caldwell
and Miss Wilhelmina Huske, had
come to attend the ordination.
An uncle, Maj. B. R. Huske, of

Mr. Editor, I have called your
attention to the fact that the
supply and demand is the factor
in setting the price of
ties, wheat, corn, cotton and
tobacco or anything that is used
by mankind. A short crop of
wheat will bring the farmer as
much or more money as a crop
that is called a bumper crop,
likewise tobacco.
Having been in the business
for years, a few years before
the formation of the trust, I have
seen tobacco lower before the
trusts were formed than I have
since.
Taking the tobacco in Eastern
North Carolina, in which
have made my home and cast
my lot, I realize that thin prim
of this section is the most
undesirable raised in the United
States.
I have ever advocated through
your paper the importance of
less acreage and better
and the most essential of
all, priming off the lower leaves
and topping to a uniform height,
thereby securing body and ripe-
When the thin primings
of Eastern North Carolina is
eliminated, as it can be if these
instructions are carried out, you
will see tobacco with body that
j trust to be a fair competitor,
; liberal buyers if they have offer-
ed them such class tobacco as
the consuming public demands.
I have seen tobacco raised in
Eastern North Carolina that was
almost a gold brick in the hands
of the trust, or independent, and
the farmer should leave it in the
fields to enrich their land.
If they bring it to market
they have no just cause of com-
plaint, if it is sold at what they
call starvation prices, for if this
tobacco was manufactured by
anyone, independent or trust, and
put up in pretty packages, I
guarantee the author of the
article referred to would never
buy but one package, and would
probably take but one smoke
from that. Now. is it reason
able to suppose that tobacco
would be manufactured, paying
tax with ail other necessary
cost, unless there was Borne
demand for same

Several months ago a splendid
sand-clay road was built for
about two miles outward from
the Atlantic Coast Line railroad.
It cost considerable money to
build this road, but it was
money well expended. The
road was constructed by the
county with convict labor, under
the direction of a government
expert road engineer, and was
intended as an experiment and
object lesson to the people of
the county that they might see
