A preacher is employed for part or
all bis time at a stipulation ; but
whatever failures, of high water,
providential hindrances, sickness of
himself or family, he is made to
bear all loss and his time is
docked, because they do that way
in worldly business. This may
seem right at first, but upon a
investigation it will be seen that
there is no clearer violation of
law and spirit of love and equity
ever among brethren.
In the first place the preacher
has given up all other pursuits that
he may fit himself for that certain
work and hence has no other in-
come. This must go into the con-

Evaporation is a wonderful power

The British Channel is more like a

to get the correct soundings of the
Atlantic. A midshipman of
navy overcame the difficulty, and a
shot weighing thirty pounds carried
down the line. A hole is bored
through the sinker, through which a
rod of iron is passed, moving easily
back and forth. In the end of the

coated with lard. The bar is made
fast to the line and a sling holds the

he had separated the formal-

When a railroad company, says
the Philadelphia Record, handles as
many million tons of coal annually
as the Reading does, the question of
weighing it becomes a matter of some
importance. Skill and long
have solved the problem, how-
ever, and the bulk of the vast coal
tonnage of the leading coal carrying
road in the country is weighed on
four scales, then are not
crowded.
The weight the empty car is
marked in chalk on the outside.
As the car approaches, a clerk takes
number of the ear and its weight,
the weigher calls out too gross weight
and the difference is the weight of
the coal. The ears run as fast as
ten miles an hour across the scale,
and it is very seldom that one has to
be stopped and brought back for re-
although that is done
when the weigher is at all uncertain
about is figures.
The men at the scales can
ally tell within a hundred pounds of
what a car contains. As soon as
they see the class of car coming, they
know the number of tons it contains,
and have the scale so prepared that
only the hundred weights need be
adjusted while the car is moving
over it, Expert officials of the com-
can tell at a glance what each
class of cars should contain, and if,
in looking over the weight sheet, any
car appears too heavy or too
light, it is brought back and re
weighed.

word to one who is suffering the tor-

The colored Alliance has order-
ed a strike of all its members in
the cotton section. They have
issued a circular requesting that
all pickers refuse to pick cotton
for any one for less than one
per hundred pounds. The
strike was ordered to go into
operation on last Saturday the
12th. Col. Humphrey is at the
head of this Alliance. He has
white skin and sometimes passes
for a white man. He evidently
suggested this to the
is responsible for the whole
He has been sneaking
around heretofore pretending that
he could unite the colored Alli-
on all important issues of the
white Alliance. What he may say
hereafter will have but little
weight with this Alliance. Those
who will suffer most, if this strike
is successful, are the bone and
sinew of the white Alliance. The
reason given for this strike is that
there had been an to re-
duce wages for cotton picking to
prices. This is all
bosh. A larger per cent, of the
value of cotton will be paid for
picking this year than since the
war.
We are glad to see that
dent Butler says that this strike is
to be confined to the States of
Texas and South Carolina- He
says that the colored Alliance is
not strong enough in this State to
attempt anything of the kind. He
furthermore says that should it
reach this State the white Alli-
would take steps at once to
meet it and would be able to
it successfully. We are glad
to see such utterances from the
President of the State Alliance.
It shows that the Alliance in this
State does not propose to
any such proceedings under
whatever name they may come.
Thirty-five thousand colored
number in this State,
can fix the price for picking
cotton. We trust that the body of
the colored Alliance in the State
not be enough to allow
any such demand to be made by
their State Alliance.

North Carolina is awakening
from her lethargy, educationally.
This is a hopeful sign. No State

No citizen can be greater than
his opportunities. The solution
of many of the causes which re-
pi ogress in North Carolina
lies in an educated citizenship.

Of art that bravely to flower.

I dream of Art, remembering well
The hopes It gave, that up-soared.

From grace had driven.

Betimes come, and gladly find
Those stately churches towering there.

With solemn watch, though London sleep.
To arm my soul with steadfast might.
Then fear might end hope be sore.
Could I like them my vigil keep,

But they were built hope and fear
By men who took the passing day.
And gave its moments heavenly wear;
Though they who built are darkly gone
Their art remains, and In it they
Are greatly known.

wrote to Frank for

Wonders of Surgery.
Tears ago, where a false teeth
had to be inserted, the dentist put in a
great clumsy plate, partially covering
roof of the mouth. At present, if
there is a support to build on, we make
a regular bridge, and cement it in
without any plate at all. In a
week the patient forgets that he ever
lost a tooth. More than that, teeth
are even implanted. Suppose you go
to a dentist tad say you a tooth
five or six years ago, but you want a
new one implanted. He drills a hole
in your Jaw and takes a human tooth
that has been extracted maybe months
or even years previous to correct an
irregularity in somebody else's mouth.
He scrapes and cleans the other fellow's
tooth and plants it in the hole in your
