out last week, involving James Henry
Rice Jr., that It should bring them
all in at once, so that the court might
know how to act.
Mr. Lyon, of the committee, replied
that the method that it had adopted
was the only one at could find effective
in bringing out the letters which Far
num had withheld. He disclaimed
any attempt to make a shuttle-cock
of the court, and said that if copies
of all the letters the committee had
seen were brought out this would
give the other side a full view of the
committee’s hand, and forever pre
clude hope of getiing any letters from
Farnum which the committee might
net have.
Dlsa, polntment at Court’s Action
In speaking of the action of the
court afterward, members of the
committee expressed 'disappointment
at the action of the court. "If the
court does not punish Mr. Farnum,'
said a member of the committee, who
has been recognized as a dispensary
adherent, “in case he has destroyed
these letters, or compel him to pro
duce them, it will thereby acknowl
edge its impotency to deal with such
matters. The committee will be both
disappointed and surprised.”
Attorney Mordecai told the court
that Mr. Farnum had destroyed all
the papers that he considered private,
The committee is in possession of

members of the court made yesterday
about the matter. The court fully
sustained the contentions of Mr. Far-
num’s attorney, that it had no juris
diction to rule Mr. Farnum for con
tempt for destroying papers prior to
the time the court assumed charge
of the case.
There was a long contest, which
has been on since last spring, to com
pel Mr. Farnum to produce the trunk
of papers and documents withdrawn
from his dispensary in Charleston.
Then, after the committee got the
trunk into the hands of the court and
its contents were canvassed, it was
discovered that it contained none of
the sensational letters which the com
mittee had seen In the dispensary.
But there are indications that the
committee has not yet finished with
the big chief beer dspenser. The com
mittee, wi*h additional powers con
ferred upon it by the present legb la-
ture, will meet in a few days, and it
is said there will be some highly sen
sational testimony brought out».

Committee Given Contempt Powers.
Both the House and Senate passed
the resolution giving the dispensary
investigating committee contempt
powers and more deflntely outlining
its powers to send for persona and pa
pers by such large majorities that it
may be said that the thing was prac
tically all one way. There were only
five dissenting voices in the House,
which added an amendment in the
form of section five, requiring the li
quor commissioners to hold up any
claims against the dispensary which
the committee saw fit to hold up un
til the committee could pass upon
them and approve them, liiis amend
ment was by Mr. Otts, of Cherokee,
who explained that its object is to
get at the bottom of certain accounts
now pending through the correspond
ence about these deals. In the Sen
ate. Senator Cole L. Blease, author
of the original investigating resolu
tion, offered an amendment requiring
the committee to proceed In taking
testimony according to regular court
rules. He said he did this in order
to exclude hearsay evidence, which
might have the unjust result of in
juring some good man’s reputation.
But Messrs. Christensen and Hay, of
the committee, vigorously opposed
this, declaring there was no desire to
blast anybody’s reputation, and the
Senate, by a practically unanimous

noon. He invoked God’s blessing up
on the service. He was also quite
ready to take part in the testimony
and covenant meeting, corroborating
the statements made by others rela
tive to God’s saving and keeping pow
er. Among other things, Mr. Liston
said that he felt an interest in every
one who professes to love the Sav
ior and was ready to co-operate wi*h
all who are engaged In the soul-sav
ing work.
Capt. Hawkes preached in this ser-'
vice from Mat. 5:48, from the text:
“Be ye therefore perfect, even as
your Father which^ is in heaven Is per
fect.” He endeavored to make the
text very comprehensive *o his hear
ers, as to what it means affirmative’''
and neerattively. The Christians were
exhorted to launch out in the ocean
of God’s love and gel into such an at
titude before God that His love
could he perfected in their hearts.
Many left the service much edified
concerning the deep things of God.
The auditorium of tie court house
was well filled on Sunday night. Lieut.
Mar den preached from the fourth
chapter of St. Matthew, having for
her theme, “God’s call.” She refer
red to the divine calls of Abraham, of
Moses, and of the child Samuel, all
of whom obeyed God and were bless
ed, and lastly referred to God’s call
to the sinner, through Christ. She
related a verv touching incident of a
young lady whom the Spirit called to
forsake the world and follow Jesus
but who stifled her convictions and
chose the world, having been bribed
through her mother by the present of
a f4ilk dress, and at last passed into
eternity unsaved, according to her
own statement made just before pass
ing into eternity: "Mother, this dre«s
is the price of my soul.” The uhsaved
were entreated to listen to the call of
God. and to give up the fleeting, for
bidden pleasure of the world and re
ceive pardon, peace and hanpiness by
beileving on Christ and in living and
workng for Him
At the close of the sermon a solo Was
rendered, entitled “The Cry of a Lost
Soul,” after which General Light
made a very earnest anneal to the
unsaved to forsake sin and accept
Christ as their Savior, and be willing
to acknowledge Him as their Lord,
Iqst they also enter eternity with this
cry upon their lips. Ten precious
souls came unto Jesus and were
saved. This victory, however, was
not achieved all at once, but between
the hours of 10:10 and 11:20 o’clock,
when the greater part of the congre
gation had withdrawn; and was the
blessed result of holding on, even af
ter the clock had reached a certain
hour, and when from all appearances
it seemed that no one would surren
der.
These young girls who were con
verted were from some of the best
families of the town, and some of
them had been under conviction for
someUme. One young lady came vol
untarily forward to the altar, and af
ter receiving the witness of the Spirit
that her sins were pardoned, she saflrt,
“I feel that I am saved and I am will
ing to follow God and do His blddng.”
The record of the work of the Cry-
waders up to date is as follows: In
forty-eight days fifty-nine public and
about as many private meetings have
been held: missionary work has been
done in 432 homes: saventy-seven
seekers have sought Christ for par
don. sixty-eight of whom have pro
fessed to be converted. Older Chris
tians are stating publicly and private
ly that these services have brought
great blessings to their souls and to
their families.
The body of George Hopper, color
ed, was found Saturday afternoon by
Henry Dunston, a colored fisherman:
it was floating in Currituck sound,
near Coinjack. The body was horribly
hacked and slashed with a razor and
a pistol ball had plowed its way
mud is knee deep in many places, and through his head. Dunston was mani
pulating his line in Piney Island bay.
on the east side of the Albemarle and
Chesapeake canal, about one mile
from Coinjack, when he discovered
the body floating in the water. He
towed it ashore and at once had Jus
tice of tk$ Peace Walker and other
officials notified by ’phone. They
made an examination of the botjyand
announced that Hopper had been bru
tally murdered. Armed men were
sent to a lumber camp, where a gang
was at work, some of whom, it was
said, had threatened Hopper, and
brought back five men and one wo
man. They were arraigned before J%<-
tice Walker, who released two of the
men and the woman and held the
other three men who are now In jail
