2 SUNDAY NOr KEPT HOLY. PRESBYTERIANS ALARMED BY THE SIN OF THE AGE. Tendency to Make the Day One of Recreation on the Increase A Special Committee Appointed to Report on the Work Among’ the Negrces - Several Overtures Pre sented. Asheville, N. C., May 17.—This was the third day of the general assembly of the Presbyterian church south. The proceed ings were opened ot 9:30 o’clock this morn ing with prayer by Dr. Hemphill A communication was read from the colored presbytery of Texas asking that the assembly give them aid in building churches. It spoke hopefully of the work they were accomplishing iu that state. It was signed by J. H. Blake, moderator, and w’as referred to the committee on home missions. The special committee for work among the negroes was announced by the modera tor as folio's: R. H. Fleming, G. A. Ris ing, \Y. C. Smith, R. Q. Baker, M. M. Gilliam, T. S. Bradßeld and William Cox. This committee will report to the assembly. The presbytery of Albemarle presented an overture on the evangelization of the Jijws. It was referred without being read. An overture touching an obligation of tithe was referred to a special committee. A second overture with regard to evan gelization of the Jews from the presbytery of Athens was referred. A number of other overtures were read. The more important were one from the synod of South Georgia and Florida, asking that the boundaries of the synod be changed; one from the presbytery of Con cord, asking th.it the question of tithes be remitted by the assembly; and one from the presbetery of Eooree, in reference to young women who were offering themselves jas foreign missonaries. OBSERVANCE OF THE SABBATH. The report of the permanent committee ,pn observance of the Sabbath was referred to a special committee. It expressed re gret that the committee had nothing of an encouraging nature to report. Many things had been bettered as a result of their w ork, but in their opinion observance of the Sab bath was not’ retaining its hold upon the people as in former days. The general ten dency seemed to be in the direction of looser views of the observance of the Lord’s day. Out of forty bresby teries to which they had written no more than a dozen reported an improve ment in the keeping of the day. W hile it was generally admitted that more faithful observance was noticeable among church members it was not so in the outside world. Many seemed to think that the day was for recreation and pleasure, and not for sacred rest. , SOME OF THE CAUSES. The introduction of railroads, foreign travel and the prevalence of a looser view of the meaning of the scriptures were assigned as passible causes. Newspapers vied with each other to make their issues on that day most attractive. The report stated that public conveyances were patron ized on .Sunday largely by church people. By way of throwing light to offset the dark side of the report it afforded the committee pleaasure to state that the municipal laws in some of the larger cities were now better enforced, and saloons were closed in some of them and base ball games prohibited on Sunday. The chairman of the committee had attended the annual meeting of the American Bible Union, held at Washington, and had deliv ered a lecture on Sunday trade and Sunday newspapers. The report spoke of President Harrison and a majority ot the members of bis cabinet as being of pronounced religious views. OBEETINOS SENT NORTH. A committee on foreign correspondence was appointed to send greetings to the Sar atoga assembly and forwarded the follow ing: “The general assembly of the Presby terian church south in the united States, in session at Asheville, IN. C., sends fraternal greetings, and iavokes upon you tne divine blessing.” The report of the executive committee on publication was read by Dr. James K. Hason and referred. The treasurer’s report shows that $8,557 have been received on the collection account from churches, Sabbath schools and indi viduals during the past year, an increase of about 10 per cent. There has been a large increase of expenditures for benevolent work. The table of assets and liabilities shows an excess of assets over the liabilities of $80,041, an increase over last year of $3,852. The liabilities and debts are practi cally none. Tne number of all the period icals issued during the year is as follows: Earnest Worker, 135,000; Children's Friend, 400,000; Lesson Paper, 1,560,000; primary lesson papers, 800,000. EDUCATIONAL WORK. The report of the executive committee on education was read by Dr E. M. Richard son and referred. It spoke with feeling of the death of F. W.Sherrillof the committee. Compared with last year the number of persons aided by the committee was thirty nine greater. The committee urged the importance of increased contributions, and asked Sunday schools and ladies’ societies to contribute. It also urged large churches to give their aid to the oummiltee instead of to individuals, as was frequently the cus tom. Dr. C. A. Stillman read the thirtieth an nual report of the executive committee of the Institute for Training Colored Ministers at Tus aloosa, Ala. The report stated that there had been no interruption of the exer cises, and that in Robert B. McAltin, who succeeded Dr. Sanderson, they had found a ■worthy head far the institution. The at tendance of students, Presbyterians, had been somewhat larger than in previous years. The report recommended the estab lishnient of a preparatory department for the training or colored students. Five students will be sent out at tae close of the present session. The library has 1,500 vol umes. The report was decidedly flattering. A UNIVERSAL PEACE PLEA. Dr. W. A. Campbell submitted an over ture asking the assembly to petition the different religious bodies of the country, asking them to join the assembly in petition ing all the governments of Christian coun tries to take measures to banish warfare as a means of settling strife that arises between nations and to substitute a more rational and Christian tribunal. It was tabled. A long communication from the tem perance committee was presented and its reading was made the special order of busi ness for to-day. The place of meeting of the next general assembly being up for discussion, Rev. C. Wilson of West Virginia invited the assem bly to meet in Charlestown, W. Va. Rev. J. A. Bryan of Alabama urged Birming ham’s merits. Rev. C. R. Hemphill, D. D., of Kentucky, suggested Louisville. Rev. T. C. Barrett of Arkansas urged Little Rock. THE NIGHT SESSION. The assembly met again at 8 o’clock to night. Dr. A. G. Witherspoon of tne Sea men’s bethel of New Orleans i resided and the services were devoted entirely to the subject of Christian work among the sea men. Addresses were delivered by Rev. *’■ h. Carter of Georgia, Rev. Chichester of South Carolina and Dr. Witherspoon. METHODISM’3 CONFERENCE!. An Overture from the Protestant Episcopal Church. St. Louis, May 17. To— day’s session of the general conference of the Methodist Episco pal church (south),was the last at which new business could be introduced, aud it was Unusually dull. The committee on frat ernal correspond ence, t > which was referred a communica tion asking the general conference to ap point commissioners to meLot commission- CIS to be appointed by the house of bishops and the house of deputies of the Protestant Episcopal church for a conference on organic union, reported recommending non-com pliance with the request. The committee held that the spirit of the church had al ways been broad. It had welcomed to membership all who wished to be saved and res lved to turn over anew leaf, with out . egard to ra-e oi color. This policy would never be abandoned. As for organi zation with the memorialists the committee would regard it as untrue that the south had divided from any church. The committee wanted those wi:o made division to make overtures for a reunion. vote of the conference was unanimous in favor of the report. A resolution condemning Sunday news papers was referred to tne committee on Sabbath. WORLDLY AMUSEMENT. The following were appointed as a com mittee to formulate a declaration upon worldly amusement: Dr. J. J. Ligbert, chairman; Messrs. R'gers, Mass, White head, Southgate, Wilson, Smart, Ryland, White, Ea.it, Brown, Miller, Magee, Christian, and Atkins. The salaries of the bishops were raised from SI,OOO to $4,600, the latter to include traveling expenses. Dr. Puilp t, T. B. Stone and Horace Bishop of '1 exas submitted a long preamble and resolution against the use of tobacco and opium by church members, and especially by traveling preachers, and ask iug that the committee on the spiritual state of the church be instructed to report some suitable deliverance on the subject, but the matter was quickly squelched by postponing it. The proposition to give part of the mis sion fund to aid the Paine institute, at Au fusta, Ga., and Lane institute, at Jackson, enn., both colored schools, was defeated by a decided majority. The session then adjourned. CANDLER CHIPS. The Orange Growers Damaged by the Prolonged Drought. Candler, Fla., May 17.—Mrs. E. M. Dußose of Darien, Ga., is visiting relatives here. T. M. Rickard has the water-works on his place completed and in operation. His grove was badly damaged by the long drought, as the trees were large and very close together, but it is a thing of beauty now. A heavy rain has fallen here, the first srnco Sept. 22 last. A few lignt showers occasionally have kept field crops growing, but the orange groves suffered terribly. The large groves shed a good deal of their fruit, but still the crop will be a fairly good ono. J. R. Wright of this place recently caught seventy-five pounds of fish in ono day in the Ocklawaha river. The river is very low and fish are plentiful B. F. Smart has sold his farm and orange grove, one mile north of town to parties in Brooklyn, N. Y. We understand the price paid was a good one, and that the owners contemplate making extensive improve ments on the same. The vegetable crop has about all been shipped. The cabbage crop paid splendidly. Beans and cucumbers were al most a failure on account of the dry weather. THOMASVILLE TATTLING3. The Georgia Southern’s Efforts to Get Into the Town. Thomasville, Ga., May 17.— The Geor gia Southern continues to condemn laud to get into Thomasville. The condemning jury made two awards yesterday. They are satisfactory to both parties.

EX-PRESIDENT CLEVELAND. • His Treatment of a Reporter Sent to 1 Investigate the Maria Hatpin Matter. (Copyrighted.) New York, May 17. —While Ex-Pres ident Cleveland is being so roundly abused for his treatment of Reporter Crawford it | may interest the reader to know of an ep isode in the ex-President’s life that has never been published. It was during the time he was governor of the state of New York and a few weeks after the conven tion that nominated him for President. I was then a representative of a New York republican newspaper, and was in structed to go to Buffalo and investi gate, without fear or favor, the ruinors that coupled Mr. Cleveland’s name with that of Maria Halpip. It occurred to me that it would be a good plan to first visit Albany, see Mr. Cleveland, and tell him ex ictly what I was to do. I had no diffi culty in obtaining an audience with him. Dan Lament was on guard, and as we bad been reporters together he admitted me without question. I there met Mr. Cleve land for the first time. I explained to him very fully my instructions from my news paper, and he listened with the deepest attention. “I have heard of you,” he said tome, looki gme squarely in the face, “and I i elieveyou will do mo justice. Th re has’ been a great deal that was not true printed about this case, and I am only too anxious that the truth shall come out. Investigate the matter as much as you please; I cer tainly will make no objection, but I bag of you be honest and candid—be honest in your work and candid in your statements. I.wiil go further; I will give you a letter of introduction to half a dozen well-known men in Buffalo, who can helD you throw light on the matter. It will do no harm. Then you can also investigate independ ently for yourself.” I expressed my gratification at this; told him, however, that I would hardly need the letters, but as he mentioned the names of some men I jotted them down on my memo randum book and was about to leave. Tne ex-President arose, shook me cordially by the hand, walked with me to the door of the executive chamber and saidas we par ed: “Remember what I told you. Don’t spare me if you find 1 havo dono wrong. I have only on requist to make—tell the truth. Bo fair, ana as as you are a young man, and all the world is before you. I may say to you that you will find that trut i and candor will be of more service to you in your career than any other qualities I could name. Never tell a lie. It will serve no good purpose. Be brave, be honest, be truthful,” and as I turned to go he moved a step forward and said: "When you have finished your investigation drop me a line here, or, better still, come aud sea me and tell me what you have learned. I shall be eager to know.” I did n >t see Mr. Cleveland from that day until the morning when he arrived in Washington to be inaugurated President of the United States. 1 met him in the Arlington hotel as he was going to his rooms. “Well,” he said, as he extended his hand and beamed with smiles, “I guess you did not find out very much that was unfavor able to me, for you didn’t return to Albany to tell me about it, and I have never seen any printed report on the subject,’’ and he laughed heartily as the lamented Dan Man ning led him from the ro >m. Foster Coates. Knew How it Was Himself! From the Americus ((7a.) Herald. A countryman was run iu one day last week for being drunk on the streets'. Ho was released a few hours later by Mayor Felder, with the understanding that he would come next day for trial. The next day. however, he wrote a note, saying: “Dear Sir — l am too sick to come to town. You know how it is yourself. Name a day when I am not feeling so bad, and I’ll be there certain.” The note brought a smile to the mayor’s countenance, and the dav was set as a future maybe. “Ah!” says a sympathetic friend, “you should go toadentist immediately and have that tooth pulled out." "I know I ought,” says the sufferer, “but the fact is I haven’t got the nerve.” “Oh, don t bother about that. The dentist will find the nerve.” —Louisville Post. MEDICAL.

I am authorized to sell the choicest of the county's land,generally known as the Pritchard Plantation. This land extends from the Waters Road to the Skidaway Rood, and is almost bisected by the City and Suburban Railway. The second station on this road, “Prichard’s.” is near the northern line of the land, aud “Sand-fly" sta tion Is just r.eyond the southern Hdb. There are three new roads cut, and being cut. through this land, which, with the two public roads and the railroad above mentioned, give the properly unequaled facilities for travel and unusual advantage in road frontage. The Casey Canal as hot. and the changes thereof guaranteed by the county, will make the drainage of this tract beyond criticism. The land has been sub-divided into thirty eight tracts, containing from seventeen to forty acres, each having a guaranteed road front. The quality of the land compares favorably with tne best land in the county. Much of it is high and beautifully wooded. None of it is objectionably low. Taken as a whole, it would be difficult if not Impossible to get another piece of the size, of the diversified nature of soil, and so near to the city and possessing such valuable road privileges. Syndicates already formed or to be formed will find in this a better chance for large profits than anything else on the market. Full and explicit plats of the land can be had from the unde signed. Terms: One-tnird cash, one-third In six months and one-third in twelve months, with interest at the rate of 7 per cent, on deferred payments, a bond for title being given by the county or its representative.

To small syndicates or investors of limited capital this is a splendid opper unity, as these lots, which are all staked off, and streets opened, are offered at t e same rate that land adjoining has recently been bought in bulk, and the necessary cost in putting the same on the market, and profits to be made for investors, will consequently make these lots less than half what adjoining property will be sold at. Young men, get up small stock companies among yourselves while this opportunity offers and put the profits in your own pockets.

Now, people that are botches and know very little about the trade try to fol low the same style and select the same day to air themselves. The pubiic is not so sleepy in catching on. and Townsend is not so foolish as to notice it by ihnue does. But it is due to the public to let them know facts. Townsend has worked as a journeyman in the best and largest offices in the country, and has never been bounced for incompetency.
