BASTER SERVICES
At the Church of the Holy Com?
forter.
Easter at the Episcopal church was most
distinctively observed. A risen Chri3t was I
tb? borden of every chant and byran. The
story of tbs resarrectioo was repeated in the
lesson for tbe day "An Ascended Lord" j
WM tbe centra! theme of the sermon. Indee :
all tbe services poiated to, deepened aod '
emphasised the great festival. The walls of
tbe cboTcb were all so pure, fresa and white
by tbeir recent calsomioiog-as fair as if so
many Sister lil ties bad been strewn all over
rbe sacred surface. Tbs cbaoc-l had jost
bad spread over it a newly-woveo carpet.
Around tbe chancel was a new railing and
wubin bad just been pieced a bishop's cbair
and another new ehatr. Upon tbe communion
table was a massive brass crossand two vases
of tbe same material, a;Bo a bookrbolder
these last focr being recect memorial gifts
to tbe cborcb. Tbey all came aod were fixed
in time to add honor to tbe Easter div Io
oonsequeoce of tbe gr6at scarcity cf flowers
the dressing was not as elaborate as asnal,
still tbe grouping of *rbat lew that were
secured was most effective. To the right of
the pulpit there was a croas, entirely covered
wJtb violets, wbicb drooped tbeir modest,
purple beads as if suggestive of tbe great
feumility of which that cross oore sucb un?
mistakable witness to. At the base af tbis
?oral cross were two ?iagularly beautiful
Jap?nicos aod around were blended tue
oolors of various geraniums which freely
?mitred tbeir sweet incense. From within
?be foot ferns drooped their long pendant
eteras, partly eooeeaiing witb tbeir oeaatfully
.aryed geeen leaves the snowy marble of that
wv*red receptacle. Around the reading desk
**td pulpit were grouped various potted
plants, some of whtcb bad bloomed io time
&r Baster. Tbej all bad written over the?
in invisible letters, "OB, all ye green things
?DOO the earth, bless ye tbe Lord, praise Him
.od magnify Sis name forever " Probaolr
tibs most beautiful flowers wbicb adorned
?bis temple of tbe Lord were contained in
Bbs two brass vases already alluded to on
?be communion table. These, surrounded
4y tbe memorial emblems of a Savior's death,
?ke tbe voice of tbe two angels at the tomo,
.eetaed to proclaim the. resurrection The
music OD tbe occasion was simply perfect;
indeed received deservedly ou ail sides the
greatest praise. Tc Mrs. Sumter great
oredk is due. Some of the pieces sung were :
Anthem, Christ Our Passover.-Rogers.

Atti-Mrs. Well? acd Miss Marie Lee.
Tenor-Mr Philip Ard.
Bissi-Messrs. Reynolds and James Ard.
Orgaoiet and Director-Mrs. Sumter.
There is oo doubt this sweet voice of mel?
ody added to and deepened tbe solemnities
o? the Easter day, Rev. H. H. Covingtoo, tbe
rector, officiated His sermon was mest
impressive aod eloquent a: times. His text
vag from St. Luke, 24th chapter and part of
tb? otb and 6tb verses, "Why seek ye tbe
firing amoog tbe dead; He is not bere, bot
ie risen." He described briefly tbe hasty
interment of our Lord io the new-hewn rock,
alluded to tbe womeo coming wstb spices to
tba; sacred sepulchre; the angela' language
io them formed tbe basis of bis discourse
Tbe t'Xt contained two thoughts-an ao
oooocement aod a gentle remembrance
Tbs fact of the resurrection could have been
so easily disproved at that time oooe bota
fool coo ld bave made such an announce?
ment. For 190* "years the church bas wit
nessed to the stupendous fact of the resurrec?
tion. Some Christians admit tbe reeurrec-.
hon, bot deny its great moral teaching. Onr
Savior's life, His example. His resurrection,
furbish us an inspiration. Our Savior's ris?
ing differed from that of Lazaros, io tbat the
latter returned again* to the grave At the
present day young men asd women profess
to find much in tbe effete religions of the
Sis' He advised against this fad, wbicb
wae not even novel. Be closed with some
most soo! inspiring Easter reflections
Toe congregation was Very large. The
entire services, which closed with tbe com?
munion, were most solemn aod impressive

Purdy sioce bis home was burned a few
months ago. was bnroed Monday between 12
and 1 o'clock.
The fire started on the kitchen roof, being

By tbe time the alram was giveo and tbe fire
department callpd out the roof of the entire
rear portion of the bouse was io firmes and
tbe fire bad spre&d between the ceiling and

The bouse it practically a total loss oniy a
wreck of it remaining, despite the efforts of
the firemen, who worked as they always do.
Tbe boose was valued at $3,000 aod was
insured for $1,700 or $2,000.

The question of ioaogurating a system of
sewerage for our city is by no meaos dead,
Mr. Editor The committee appointed to
tacare the vote of tbe freeholders has beeo
handicapped by tbe fact tbat so many with
to know what the system will cos? before
tbey put tbeir sames to a paper Biking for
tbe istuanee of bonds. Tbis refusal does not
show tbat these gentlemen are opposed to
tbe measure ; but it does show tbat tbey
are cautious and prudent When certain of
our citizens bad an audience before the board
of aidermea a request was made tbat letters
be written, by the authority of ibis board,
to varions engioeerr and contractors, so that
approximate figures could be gotteo as a
basis for our actioo in requesting ibe free?
holders to sigo a petition asking that bonds
te issued. I seems that tbe aldermen did
not feel it within tbeir province to write
letters, aad bence no actioo was takeo by
them at ?ll. Wubin the last few f?ays, how?
ever, the said letters have beeo written to
engineers and contractors, and we hope to be
able to give some encouraging facts before
many days
It a>ay be tbat we misunderstand the posi?
tion of ouf board of aldermen, but it appears
that tbey, too, are baodicepped It lies
witr>:o their province to carry out any meas?
ure set on foot by our citizens, bot they
have no right to inaugurate anything
They cnn arrange for the bond? and for
perfec.iog the sewerage system, if the citizens
will author ze them by a vote to do so; bot
they do feel it to be within their power to
inaugurate the movement.
This msy be law and it may b?
equity and it may te lots of o'ber things;
but it sppeat8 to a novice to be a good way
of shutting off the posstoihty of public im?
provement. Wbo, for instance wiii advo?
cate the sewerage system? Toe citizens.
Wno will call tbi*m together? Tne ci?izeLS
Who will go from mao to man to get bis
vott? Tr.e citizeo&? A.nd tbus baviog no
bead and no means of acting in concert, tbe
sewerage and many other questions of puotic
interest are jadly handicapped
It bas beea wisely suggested that our city
should purchase and own the system of
ligbtiog and tbe water warks The rev?cue
would pay ti e interest on -the bonds, and
eventually retire them The money paid for
electric ilgcitiog wubin tbe past ten years
would have bought the plant and largely
maintained it. We ought to own the plant;
Out who is to lead trie way in advocating the
purch-ise? Our alderme? can only folio*
where the Citiz-ns lead, wbile the citizens
seem to be without leadership, h. d bence
nothing is done Surely we all need revis?
ion, as w el! as onr laws
However, we hupr to be abie to .r .ve 6ocue

PISGAH NEWS.
Pisgah, April 9 -The question tbat is
most important to tbe people at this i:me is
the agricultural outlook. A big crop of cot?
on will bring a small price, which will er
i fi 11 financial embarrassment not only to the
planters, but to the merchants and ail. Tb*
; northern sharpers leave no stone unturned
r"or their advantage, and little they cars wb?t
becomes of the south, so tbey can fatten off
of our crops It 13 not too late to curtail the
acreage of cotton, and it would be wise to do
so. Of course, eoougb should be planted,
eren at five cents, to pay debts, and let the
rest of the crop go Into corn and other crops
It is not wise to risk ali on cotton. Lots of
people are now buyiog corn to be puid fo
with cotton, and with all doe economy th ie
will be an expensive year, ai things bare
gone up bigs..

A MAYOR'S MIRACLE.
He Made tbe Blind See, the Deaf
Hear and the Lame Walk.
From the many anecdotes of Bamp
fylde Moore Carew's rogueries in Ar?
thur Montefiore Brice's essay on that
"Amazing Vagabond" we quote one in
which Carew and his gypsy crew who
had rigged themselves up as cripples
and gathered at Bridgewater fair to
plunder the junketers came off second
best.
When the mayor of Bridgewater
heard that this motley group of crip?
ples had arrived, he announced to some
of his friends that he was possessed of
a power they perhaps little suspected
that, in fact* he could make the blind
see, the deaf hear and the lame walk.
Bets were freely made that he could do
nothing of the kind, and thereupon the
mayor had the gypsies arrested and
immediately brought before him and,
after hearing their harrowing tales, or?
dered them to be confined for the night
in the lockup.
I About 10 o'clock at night, however,
the municipal surgeon entered with a
lantern and announced that he would
examine them all in the morning in or?
der to report to the mayor whether or
not t?ey really suffered from deformity
of one k'nd or another, and he went on
to say that those who were found to be
Impostors would be treated by the
mayor with severity so extreme that,
moved to pity, he would allow any such
misguided wretch to escape there and
then from the lockup on condition that
he immediately left the town.
At this intelligence a great commo?
tion arose, and in less time than it
takes to write it the whole crowd surg?
ed out of the lockup, flinging away
their crutches and wooden legs, patch?
es and bandages, and made off down
the town at topmost speed, the blind
leading the way with unerring steps,
the dumb crying aloud their fears, the
deaf replying to them, and the lame
sprinting along at a rattling pace.
Now, just opposite the lockup, on the
farther side of the street, stood the wit?
ty mayor and his friends, convulsed
with laughter at the success of his
scheme.-Argonaut
