It is a startling fact that during the season of 1892 in England twenty-six men killed outright and numbers of others received injuries for life while playing the game, and the records show that only two men were by prize ring If these facts prove any- thing they show that foot ball is a thousand per cent, more and fatal than fighting. The question that suggests itself to my mind is, will honest Christian men at the head of alleged Christian colleges and schools, encourage a game, whoso results are a thousand per cent, more fatal than the results of a practice condemn In the face of these facts it is gratifying i to note that our three greatest Universities, Harvard, Yale, and Princeton have become aware that there are other fields as well i worthy of their attention as this i slightly modified form of fighting. A schedule of debates has been arranged, to consist of three contests, one at each college, in order that the students from each of the colleges will take part in the contest with men from both of the others.

Extract From Address in the Baptist Church on day. I was in Para, in South America, standing on the banks of the Amazon river to embark on a voyage- I noticed a large, long box and on what it con- was told that it was a python, a snake of the boa con- species. It was probably feet long. For weeks I was on the vessel with that reptile but was not afraid of it because I knew it was confined. A ion on the vessel who knew all the habits of the snake told me that noiselessly and slowly it its victim and without a moment's warning it would throw its coil around him and coil by coil encircled him in an em- brace which was certain death- Without outside aid any one was absolutely powerless in its folds- Friends and brethren, the great- est evil in this country to day is the drink habit- It comes upon a man secretly, noiselessly, surely like that venomous snake and when once a man because its slave he is, I believe, powerless to break it off without outside help. I thank God that science has brought that help. I bless God that there is a Gold Institute here in Greenville which is saving men every day from monster, strong drink. I believe it is the duty of all good men and women to encourage it and lend a helping hand. THE A. M. E. ZION CONFERENCE. The thirtieth annual session of the North Carolina Conference, A. M- E- Zion church, in York's Temple, Greenville, on last Wednesday, Nov. 29th, op C. R. Harris, D. D., presiding associated by Bishop C. C A. M-, D- D. These alternated from day today in presiding over the deliberations of the body. The Conference was called to order by Bishop Harris and the organization completed by elect- Rev. W. J. T- Moore, Rev. H- P- Walker, Assist- ant Secretary; Rev- W. J. Solo Statistician; Rev. Owen L W. Smith, Corresponding Editor and Reporter. Eighty five ministers were in attendance upon the conference, there being quite a number of very intelligent men among them. The conference embraces a of about and re- ports from the Presiding Elders of the several districts showed considerable increase for the year- The report of finances, owing to the general depression showed a falling off from the figures of last year. All the Presiding Elders and ministers passed creditable ex- of character, and from every district and a large majority of the stations were petitions that they be returned to the same charges for the next year. On Friday Rev. G- F Smith, pastor of the M. E- Church, visit- ed the conference and was intro- to the body. Saturday ex- T. J. Jarvis visited the conference and was introduced by the Bishop to the body. Gov- Jarvis addressed the Con- in his usual earnest and impressive manner, referring to early training and ex- in the home circle- He stated that one of the most preachers he ever heard was the late Dr. J. C Price. The Governor the hope he may see the day when every colored man shall own his home. At the conclusion of his remarks the Hon- J- C Dancy was called upon to respond in behalf of the Conference- The Conference tendered a vote of thanks to both speakers. Services were held in the Opera House Sunday and night, leading members of the Conference preaching good mons. The afternoon was pied in memorial services to the late Rev. L. R. Ferebee and Rev. J. C. Price, D. D., late President of Livingstone College at The large hall was thronged, many white people being in the seats reserved for them. Bishop Harris introduced Rt. Rev. C- C who delivered the sermon of the occasion. His text was a portion of John XIV, go to prepare a place for Any man of any race might have felt a just pride over the delivery of such a sermon. The entire thought of was grand, and many of the speaker's Sights of eloquence were beautiful. He was listened to with closest attention from every one- Following the sermon the Hon. J. C. Dancy introduced res- and made a address- Brief addresses were also made by Rev. G- W- Clinton, editor of the Star of Zion, by Prof. G- L. Black well, Dean of the Theological department of Livingstone College, and by Rev. R S- Rives, D. D., principal of the State Normal School at Golds- The addresses were all good and would have done credit to any assembly. The sessions of the Conference continued until noon yesterday. Rev. P. W. Williams, pastor of the church here, labored hard in prep- for it, and has looked well after the comfort and pleasure of the delegates. It was a gathering of colored people and did credit to the race- We trust the meeting here will leave a lasting impression for good with the colored people of this and in them higher and more noble purposes in life- LETTER. oar Regular C-, Dee. President Cleveland did not eat his Thanksgiving Day dinner at the White House, although the steward had obtained a forty- pound turkey for the occasion. He and Mrs. Cleveland dined with Postmaster General and Mrs. Bis- sell, as did and Mrs. Gresham and Secretary and Mrs. although it was an for the President and his wife to dine with a member of the cabinet, except at a regular net dinner. The new tariff bill is the Sal topic of conversation among now quite plentiful in Washington, and becoming more so upon the arrival of every train. There is much less among Democrats than the members of the committee expect- ed, and very much less than existed among Republicans after the publication of the bill- The fact is generally by Democrats that the son bill is one that will in the end be generally beneficial to the entire country, although like most great reforms it will carry temporary hardship to some individuals, and that is really where the great strength of the bill lies; it is a tariff bill for the many, not for the few. The Democrats who framed it are true believers in the doctrine of the greatest good to the great- est number. The Republicans who in disparagement of the bill said it was built the lines of the Walker tariff of 1846, hardly have given the bill great- praise, as the Walker tariff was one of the best the country ever had, and the people of all classes were never more prosperous than while it was in existence. President Cleveland has con- the Democrats of the Ways and Means committee the statesmanlike manner in which they prepared the tariff bill, in several instances members voting to put articles on the free list, such as iron ore, coal and silver lead ore, that their constituents would have preferred having kept on the dutiable list and in his message to Congress he will officially commend their work and urge that this bill be speedily passed. The Democrats of the commit- tee on Ways and Means are now at work the internal re bill which is to furnish the revenue that will be lost by re- forming the tariff. It is that this loss will be some- where between and a year. The Demo- of the committee have but one thought in preparing this bill, and that is, to impose the taxes in such a manner that they will bear the lightest upon those who have to work for their living and as they are all men of wide experience and great ability they will doubtless report a bill. Postmaster General has not announced whether he con- it proper and advisable to accept the bid submitted by the Bureau of Engraving and Print- for printing the postage stamps that will be required next year, but the other fellows are getting frightened and are filling such of the local papers as are open to such subsidized matter so-called arguments against the government printing its own postage stamps. These which are but a repetition of those brought forward the people begun to the question of the government printing its own by the agents the various bank note companies which had grown rich by printing government currency. They are simply ab- surd, and if there are no legal obstacles it is probable that Gen. will accept the bid of the Bureau of Printing and which is below that of the lowest private bidder. Even if the work could not be done any cheaper it is more fitting that the postage stamps should be printed by the government. The peremptory removal of Mr. George D. Johnson, of Louisiana, the only Democratic member of the Service Commissions by President Cleveland was surprising and has been the basis of no gossip. No official reason has been out for the removal and it is not at all probable that any will be given out, but it comes from good that the cause of Mr. Johnson's removal was not dis- creditable to him, as a man or as a Democrat, fie will be by Prof. J. R Proctor, of Kentucky, and Commissioner Lyman whose removal has been, I am told, fully determined upon, by a Democrat. There is ample cause for Lyman's removal, in the report Of a congressional commit- tee to President Harrison, and he probably owes his retention in office this long, as many other Republicans do, to the fact that President Cleveland has been constantly overwhelmed with more important duties than the selection of successors to minor officials- But unless all signs are misleading, the most of the Re- publicans will go before the flowers bloom again.

At time six prisoners escaped. Five colored men who were la one of the lower iron cages cut their way out of It by eight of the heavy bars, half an inch making an opening ten Inches square. The bars were cut smooth the appearance of a saw being used on them. After crawling through this opening into the corridor, they dug the wall Into the passage, broke the lock off the front door and walked away. A woman confined in the crawled through the brick wall and escaped with them. It is very evident that the prisoners had been furnished by some one outside with good tools to d such an expert job. This delivery further argues the necessity of having a wall around the Jail so that no outsider can reach the windows, and of allowing no one to communicate with the prison- unless accompanied by an officer. When built, this new jail was thought absolutely safe, but escapes from it are more frequent than from the old one. The County Commissioners should take some steps to prevent this, and we think the best way is to build a high brick or stone wall around the jail. Sheriff King is doing all possible to capture the fugitives and hopes to be successful in so doing. A brief of the men who escaped is as William Hardy, years old, weight pounds, height feet inches, black, rime, larceny. Redmond Braddy, years, pounds, height feet inches, spare built, ginger cake color, crime, bigamy. Henry Scott, small mulatto, years old, weight pounds, height feet inches, hair crime larceny.

Thanksgiving Day dawned clear upon as and was received with good cheer by all the Inhabitants of Every place of business was closed and It look- ed like Sunday. Sportsmen could be seen hieing themselves away to th woods to bring back the game that in- fest all about us. We hear numerous reports as to the success of some of them. We asked one little fellow what luck he had and he made answer that he killed one sparrow, but he couldn't find him. A party the river saw a handsome deer swimming down stream and gave chase but his deer ship was too spry for them and got away. Another party returned and showed bits and partridges. Taken as a whole it was a successful day all round for them. SERVICES IN THE BAPTIST CHURCH. At an early hour the church bell peal- ed forth Its welcome ring, bidding every one to come and give thanks to their M for the many rich blessings He had bestowed upon them during the past year. At the Baptist church the different in the city as- and held joint services. There they listened to an excellent address by our and beloved towns- man, ex-Gov. T. J. Jams.

For some weeks the talk of the town had been foot-ball. The Academy team challenged town boys for a game of ball and town boys accepted and set time for Thanksgiving afternoon at o'clock. At the time appointed the two teams met in the enclosure just this side of Mr. O. E. and the fun began. Mr. S. T. Hooker was umpire. They were to play the best six out of eleven. The first three heats were won by the my team, the town boys fought hard but they could not keep the team from making the pig skin fly and crossing the line. The fourth was won the town boys, also the fifth. Then barred from town boys and the Academy team made the sixth, seventh ad eighth, running their score up to six and winning the game. It was fun, and good fun, every- body enjoyed It. There was no fussing or kicking except at the ball, and every- body was in a jolly good humor. AFTER THE GAME. That shirt cost me a dollar and a half that Brose Johnson tore the back of. There is only one thing I didn't like, says Ambrose Johnson, Henry Hooker took my nose for the ball and wouldn't let It go. Will Blow took a pretty fall, but I wouldn't mind that much. If he bad not stepped on my corn, says Louis Skinner. Bronson will know better next time than to try to make a bed of me, says Will as he got up from on the other side of the fence where he and Bronson went over in a knot. Harry Harding says he believes the fence Is a little harder than his head. Clarence says if he can't kick with his right foot he can with his left. Louis Lawrence says that thirteen boys on him weigh more than a feather. AT THE HOUSE.

The shearing of that year he gave to his neighbors. In Nov- ember, 1872, his flock amounted to head, having brought no other sheep, except a few South- down bucks. In the meantime he had sold worth of wool and worth of mutton, and had lived on ton. Not having had a chicken or a pig on his place. With the sheep he had enriched thirty acres of land that would hardly sprout peas, so that it would make one thousands pounds of cotton to the acre The only feed ever given was a little cotton seed for a few weeks in the winter. Then he divided his flock, giving one hundred and seventy five head to a friend in another county to raise on shares.

Some time ago The Landmark printed a story about a frog taking a stick in its mouth to prevent a snake swallowing it; and later Mr. Hal. Fetter's story about a partridge holding a leaf over body to hide itself from a hawk. A gentleman recently related to us another frog-snake story equally as good if not better than either of those referred to which is vouched for by Mr W. A. Myers, of Wilkes who, if we remember aright, an eye witness of the occurrence. The frog in this instance was a bull-frog and not a toad-frog. A black snake, looking for his din- had seized the frog by the hind-leg and attempted to swallow it. The frog seized hold of a bamboo brier with its mouth and held on like grim death while the the tugged at its ties. The snake wrapped his tail around a convenient shrub to give himself more purchase and back to his work with a will but it was to go. The frog held on to the bamboo brier and as the snake could not pull him loose he finally gave it up as a bad job and retired from the ville Landmark.

Special attention given to repairing. D. Greenville, N C- Mr. Hans A. Kure, after the great August hurricane, found a box unearthed on the seashore at Carolina Beach, containing the remains of a soldier and his gun and sword. The latter was strap- on the box and the gun was on the inside, but it had all de- and nothing was left of it but the breech from hammer down. One of the hammers is in good and was standing as if ready to be fired. The only thing remain- of the soldier was a few bones, all the clothing having long since gone to nothing. His shoes are however, in very good and they were preserved by Mr. along with the other queer relics. The shoes were very small and narrow. It is believed that the remains are those of a Confederate officer, and Mr- Kure thinks they came ashore from the wreck of the old blockade runner Beauregard, which was beached near Carolina Beach during the civil war- It is possible though that the remains were the body of a Federal Confederate soldiers killed in the battle of Fort Fisher and buried on Mes- Mr. Simms, of Durham, who is holding down a job in Washing ton, has the right idea, to our Washington correspondent, about the pension business, though he doesn't go quite far enough. He proposes that North Carolina offer the government a site and building materials for a home for the pensioners, and that all of them who are willing to en- it be received as inmates. The defect the proposition is this that the matter of enter- the home is left optional with the pensioner. He should be compelled to enter it or accept as the alternative the discontinuance of his pension. It has been by some one that it would less expensive to board the pensioners at hotels then to con- to support them on the present basis, but the plan pro- posed by Mr. Simms, with the amendment we offer, is a manifest upon the hotel scheme. The cost would be less and, locating them all in one en- closure, their social advantages would be Observer. K. and Schedule TRAINS SOU I'll.

A- Baylor, a member of Staunton bar, has for some time been an invalid confined to his room. His residence is just across the street from the second ward voting engine- house. Too feeble to go to the polls, a novel plan was adopted for receiving his vote. A double string was run from his across to the poll. His ballot was put on it and drawn slowly across the street- When it arrived at the box the judge of election took it off and put it inside- Both the invalid voter and the election judge were in sight of each other from the starting of the ballot until it was safe in the Vindicator.
