B. King does not meet with the approval of the general public. V. Most people who have expressed themselves say Davis was guilty of murder and should have been hanged. Failing in this, the judge should have given him the full limit of thirty years. Sad to say, our yeople are losing confidence in the ability or disposition of the courts to punish for the crime of murder, and this no doubt has much to do with the great j*' number of killings. . . ri ? 1 . 1 UD a toiiei'iing iuur.

Here it is: High Point, N. C., Aug 28,1877. John Smith & Co., Philadelphia, Pa., Gentlemen:?Replying to yours of the 18th inst., I have to say that for the prospect of having claims placed in my hands to collect and nothing more, I do not feel willing to report the standing of the party mentioned or of any one else. I do not want to be misunderstood as saying that I do not want paying business, but I do know that a lawyer would starve as quick on commissions as he would on corn-cob soup in January. 3 have had some experience in collecting since the war, or rather in trying to collect. .1 have offered to compromise claims by taking old clothes, frozen cabsk' " bage, circus tickets, patent medicine, whet stones, powder horns, old flour barrels, gourds, coon skins, jaybirds, owls or almost anything; and yet I have a number of the old claims on hand unsettled. If I were to depend on collectk ing for a living, my bean broth would * get so thin that it would rattle in me like ' ; - pot-liquor "in a poor dog. tl don't want to shoot at long range, but if you are inclined to pay anything certain for the reports, I'm your mansay ten dollars cash and them I'm in; or if money is scarce I would take shoes, large numbers, say 10's, ll's and 12's to the amount of ten dollars at wholesale prices. It's hard times here; the niggers and the Democrats have pulled and worried each other until this whole country smells like cheese. How in the world would Pyou expect to collect money out of a people who plow speckled bulls on hillsides? If you were to see a nigger plowing his gardeu with a sow, you would not wonder why I don't want claims to collect in this vicinity. Your sincere frind, J. R. Bulla. Death of A. F. H. Dukes. Branchville, April 20.?Mr. A. F. H. "Dukes died at 1.25 this afternoon after an illness of three months. Mr. Dukes has suffered intensely and believed up until a few days ago that that he was going to get well. Mr. Dukes was one of the most progressive citizens here and he will be a great loss to this town and community. - Mr. Dukes carried about $21,000 life insurance and belonged to the following orders: Masons, Knights of Pythias. D. O. K. K., Knights of Honor, Knights and Ladies of Honor and Woodmen of the World. Mr. Dukes was 53 years old and leaves a wife and seven children to mourn his loss. Mr. Dukes was a consistent member of the Methodist church here for a number of years, at which church his funeral will take place tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock. The interment will be at the Branchville cemeterv. The Masons and "Knights of Pythias will probably conduct the burial services. another account. ' Branchville, Aprii 20.?The Hon. ?

He will probably be buried to morrow, under the auspices of the different secret societies of which he was a member. The entire town deeply sympathize with the family in their bereavement. Marriage of a Popular Couple. ' Olar, April 18.?Mr. G. W. Jenny, of Jennys, and Miss Rena Hitter, of Kearse, were married at Mount Pleasant Lutherau church Wednesday evening, the loth instant, the Rev. E. P. Monroe officiating. The attendants were Mr. Willie Aiken R&st, of Cameron, best man, with Miss Minnie Folk, of Georgetown, as maid of honor, and Mr. H. A. Kearse and Miss Marie Murdaugh, Mr. L. L. Wilson and Miss Jennie Felder, Mr. J. O. Hitter and Miss Bessie Jenny, Mr. G. E. Hitter and Miss Bertha Bochmau, Mr. W. H. Miley and Miss Alice Sease, Dr. G. W. I. Loadholt and Miss Izora Miley, Mr. W. E. Sease aud Miss Minnie Jenny, Mr. W. J. Kearse and Miss Rosa Johns. Messrs. G. B. Kearse, J. F. Chassereau, S. W. Ussery and Dr. A. C. Reynolds were the ushers. After the marriage the bridal party, friends and relatives returned to the home of the bride where a reception was given from 9 till 12. The refreshments were plenteous and superb, and many beautiful gifts were displayed. The Churches and the People. Sometime back 1 had the opportunity of visiting a Catholic church with a e: friend who himself was a Catholic. ^ During the time there was a revival meet I' ing beigg carried on by an evangelist at t' the Congregational church of Metliodists. 11 Presbyterians, and Baptists united on ac ? count of it being the largest of the four e churches. Duriug the services the Priest P made the remark that the revival being ^ carried on at the Congregational church a was a farce, and he did not wish for any b of his members to visit their services, and at the same time saying his was the S ouly and true church. But he never even '' spoke about the present conditions of life only to ridicule other churches. And so it is with all other ministers of the ditFer- a ent churches. I suppose there are a great many reasons why the church to-day is h not all that it should be to the masses, reasons some of them too subtle and too ^ profound for the most of us to under- v stand, but is it not possible to find at least s one likely cause in the character of the men that the ministry attracts? a I don't mean that the clerge lack char- ^ acter. I mean that the}' are the type of men whose very training and taste and ^ natures place them apart from rather than with the people. One man loving the water goes to sea; a second with a liking for speculation drifts ultimately into J Wall street; a third, caring more perhaps " for debate and power tliau for anything v else in the world, is fairly certain sooner c or later to be found in politics. So he s who places culture and peace and un- I; worldiness above all things else in life is v ?* - v _ i?i?j r *1.. _i ? naturauy to oe xootieu iur 111 me euuieu. j It is every man according to liis bent, n My point is that the churchman's bent j too often isolates him from the masses y ?from the very people who are most in t need of his counsel and friendship. It s has a strong tendency towards keeping g him from being democratic, in fact the j ecclesiastical body throughout the ages has always been troubled by this tendency. And because of this we see that many churches to-day have left the center of the city where the average man lives, <: suffers, works, hopes, and despairs, and r have retreated not along the line of the t greatest need but along the line of the i least resistance to the outskirts of our t cities where the surroundings are fairer (i and the struggle for existence a little less \ apparent. Culture and commonalty unfortunately rarely go hand in hand. The t man who likes books and retirement and the aesthetic things of life is not often the man who wants to get down among his fellow-men and live with them, work r with them, and fight with them. Many 1 clergymen are deficient physically in a vitality just as many men who are not of the clergy. They are nerveless and bloodless, interested mainly in what the closet life affords. They shrink from publicity, from strife, and from the details of the commonplace. This is nothing either for 1 or against them; they are simply as God < made them. But these very characteris- < tics of theirs keep them from working 1 out with lower classes the social and industrial difficulties that face them. Many < other ministers by nature progressive are 1 so hedered about bv the unwritten cus- ] toms of their particular congregations i that tbey are debarrred from being unduly ! strenuous; it would be undecorous of 1 them to urge a thing vehemently. Still , others are restricted in their work by the church articles which they have signed. Here you see are several reasons why the pulpit is kept from being a factor to be reckoned with in the causes that confront men to-day. The church can never be anything more than the men of which it is made up. If they fail to keep in touch witn the everyday questions of the people the church itself will fail to keep in touch. And I am inclined to believe , that the majority of ministers have failed j to keep in touch with the people, which accounts largely for the truth which Professor Ladd, of Yale, recently uttered when he said the ethical condition of the church to-day is relatively low and nerve- ] less; and which accounts also for the < truth of the cynical remark a certain un- ; scrupulous party boss made years ago. | Politicians care nothing about the church vote, but they respect the saloon vote, for < that goes solid. < The church because of its very nature is calculated to be the greatest institution ( in the land to guide and inspire mau. j Why does it not then fulfill its function ? < Why does it persistently remain in the ] background and allow men to be guided ] and bossed by less desirable factors? ] Whjr does it not secularize its religion more? I have so little patience with | those ministers who, Sunday after Sunday, year in and year out, are satisfied to fall j back on the bible for a text aud frame a dull discourse around it when texts by hnnrirpric in t.hp vprr lifp fthnnt Hipni are J ? " crying out for discussion and solution. Why, pray, is it wrong for a clergyman j to speak strong and sharply of the things < of the time in which he lives? Christ did it. He concerned Himself directly with j the social and political life of His day, j yet the modern churchman, His supposed < disciple, shuns all subjects that deal with the current men and movements. For myself, I feet that these are the very things he is best fitted to interpret for the people. Why should he not then ; stand up and counsel his hearers concerning what vitally affects them here , and now, rather than preach to them , about Old Testament doings or what the < hereafter may have in store for us ? Let him tell us how to live the present, and j the future we may well believe will take care of itself. Take Dr. Rainsford, Bishop Potter, and Archbishop Ireland, and consider what < men of affairs and good citizens they are , in addition to being men of the cloth. | With other clergymen equally well ( known they are always active and alert i in the cause of good-citzenship aud right living, and their efforts have yielded very ] definite and very profitable results. " 1 It would be a distinct gain for the in- < flueuce of the church if more ministers followed their example. Professor Ladd's < criticisim, which, strange to say, no , churchman of special distinction has seen y fit to contradict, would then perhaps be partially shorn of its lamentable truth. f John M.

An Illinois boy was asked to write an ssay on Masonry and this is what he f rote: "King Solomon was a man who ? ved many years ago, and the people in j lie count ry where he lived thought he was t lie whole push. He was an awful wise S urn and one day two women came to him, 1 aeh holding to the leg of a baby, nearly t idling it in two,and each claiming it. Au'd t Ling Solomon wasn't feeling right good t ml said: 'Why couldn't that brat have 1 een born twins and stop all this bother?' 1 md he called for his machete and was i oing to Weylerize the poor, innocent 1 iltle baby, when the real mother of the f aby said: 'Let the old hag have it. If I s an't have the whole baby I won't have 1 ny.' Then Solomon told her to take the ] aby, for he knew it was hers, and to go i Dine and wash its face. He told the j ther womau to go chase herself. Kiug ' iolomon built Solomon's Temple and s ias the father of all Masons. He had 1 even hundred wivesaud three hundred I idy friends, and that's the reason there t re so many Masons.

In searching the files of some old papers recently the writer came across some very unique marriage notices which are well worth preserving. It was customary for the editor to make some personal allusion to the wedding, not in the news columns, but immediately following the announcement. Sometimes friends would attach gags and queer doggerel, very uncomplimentary to the newly wedded pair, and some of the editorial comments were enough to place him in peril had it not neen that the bridegroom rarely saw the notice until long after the honeymoon bad waned. ? -w -*"* ?? * "T ii_ -%r ?> in "Tne JNew rora weeitiy museum for June 1,1814, appeared the following: "On Saturday, May 14, at Charlton, Luther Marble to Miss Sophia Stone. To which the editor appended the words: "A very cold hard match." On March 11,1815, this notice appeared in "The Museum," under the heading 'Nuptial:" "In Charleston, S. C., January 31.?Mr. Stephen Lyon, of New York, to Miss Rebecca Lamb. ' 'The happy time at length's arrived In Scripture days foretold, When Lamb and Lyon doth unite, Embrace and keep one fold.' " Another "Museum" nuptial notice was read thus: "At Blooming Grove?Mr. John Reeder, af this city, to Miss Elizabeth Topkins, :>f the former place: ' 'One volume of the 'Rights of Man' From maiden errors freed her, She saw the title, liked the plan And soon became a Reeder.' " In "The New Haven Athenaeum" of August 6,1814, there appeared a notice which naturally attracted attention because of the strange appropriateness of ,he names of all parties concerned. The editor, evidently a wag, appended a few words, the whole reading as follows: "Married at Peterville, August 1, by Rev. Dr. Cannon. Mr. G. Powder, to he amiable and accomplished. Miss Sparks. " (Ed.?We are apprehensive that Spark3, among such combustibles as these, will produce an explosion at Salt Petersrille.' ") In another issue the writer found the ollowing nuptial notice: T .-v ?
