A GREAT LECTURE.
Christian Civilization and Educa-tion
Bishop Galloway's Theme.
A large crowd, estimated at 1,500
people, assembled in West Market
Street Methodist church Monday night
to hear a lecture by Bishop Charles B.
Galloway, of Jacksou, Miss., who came
in the iuterest of what is known as the
Twentieth Century educational fund
of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South. Bishop Galloway is one of the
ablest and most eloquent men of the
Methodist pulpit, and his lecture on
this occasiou was both pleasing and
instructive. He spoke with clearness
Bnd force of Christian civilization and
Christian education, i. e., an educa-tional
system which recognizes the
supreme authority of the word of God,
and not sectarian or narrow-minded
instruction in our schools and colleges.
He recognizes education as the most
important and vital question confront-ing
a church or nation, saying it lies
at the bottom of social order and na-tional
development. His contention
that all civilization and national life is
determined by the religious training
of the people was sustained by unan-swerable
argument. He drew striking
parallels between Kogluud and ludia
and between the Doited States and
Chins, showing how the Christian
civilization of our republic aud the
••Mother" country had outclassed the
llindooisin and Baddhism of the
heathen empires, having all the nat-ural
advatages oi the christiai. uations
and with the prestige of ages of his-tory
and philosophy.
Coming back to our own country,
the Bishop spoke of the establishment
and maintenance by the church of ed-ucational
institutions in the earliest
days of the nation's Die, aud said (hat
ever since the true defence of Amtrica
had not been in her gun-crowned forts,
but rather in the Christian homes and
the educational institutions of the
land. He is a tirm believer in higher
education by the state, and at this
juncture took occasion to say that he
did not belong to that class who at-tempt
to controvert the soundness of
what is known as the "state aid" prin-ciple.
The Bishop goes a step farther
and contends for compulsory educa-tion,
making the logical argument that
it is not just for the state to tax him
for the education of his neighbor's
child unless the child is compelled to
take advautage of the opportunity af-forded.
Bishop Galloway's next argument
was from the standpoint of a church-man,
saying that no church is stronger
than its institutions of learning. He
said the church that cares for its child-hood
will be the church of the future,
and the church of the future will be
the church that guards its childhood
and youth and trains its men and wo-men
as teachers and leaders.
In closing his address be made a
strong appeal in behalf of the Twen-tieth
Century fund, which is a scheme
of the Methodist church of the entire
world to raise during the present year
a vase sum of money for the better
equipment of th« educational institu-tions
of the various branches of the
church. The amount asked from the
M. E. Church, South, is a little ever
$1,500,000—one dollar per member.

MARKET REPORT.
The breaks on eur market for the
past week have not been overly large,!
still they have been large enough to j
keep oar buyers busy. The offerings
were composed of common to medium
stock, with only a very few good to tine
wrappers on the market. All our buy-ers
were out in full force and the sales '
were the most satisfactory of the sea-son.
Prices were not high, compared ■
with other years, hut compared with
other markets at the present lime, they
were exceedingly good, and farmers
expressed themselves as being well
pleased with their sales.
T. J. Styles, of Rockingham, made a
good sale here yesterday, selliag 1.2t>0
pounds for $92
Yesterday Xeeley Brothers sold 1,859
pounds of tobacco on our market for ;
$135 97, a yery nice average.
John W. King, one of our buyers,
has beeo slightly indisposed for sev-eral
days, but is now better.
Bright tobaccos aud strips are in >
more active demand and prices a shade
better oa all classes of bright*.
There are quite a number of our I
country friends here today with tobac-co.
We are always glad to see them.
Lots of Rockingham tobacco found
its way to Greensboro yesterday and
sold well, some ©f it averaging as high
as $Ki.
The Southern Tobacco Company, of
this city, is advertising its goods hy I
giving away a pocket map of South '
Africa.
Several new tobacco markets will be
established next fall, though it is said
they will not be so numerous as for the
past lour or live years.
Montgomery May and J. C. White-sell,
good Alaniance farmers, were here ]
yesterday with tobacco. They went I
home pleased with the pricss.
It is said that the tobacco average in
South Carolina this year will be cut 25
per cent.—probably 40 per cent.—on ac-;
count of the advance In the price of
cotton.
C. A. Bray, of Bray Brothers, was
on the sales in Winston Monday. He
is a hustler that watches all the mar-kets
and Is never satisfied unless
Greensboro is in the lead.
Some people have the wit and brain
to recognize a coed thing when they
see it. A few of these were here with
tobacco last week and are here again
today. A word to the wise is sufficient.
General Otis cables that since the
opeuing of the ports of the Philippine
Islands to commerce 70,000 bales of to-bacco
have been received at Manila,
and that "large shipments ot the com-modity
will soon be uiade to the United
States and other countries."

—The marriage of Miss Julia Settle
and Mr. Ernest A. Holt, in this city
last Wednesday night, was a brilliant
social event. The ceremony took place
at the Settle home, on Asbehoro street,
and was witnessed by the near rela-tives
of the bride and groom and a few
intimate friends. The bride was given
in marriage by her brother, Hon.
Thomas Settle, of Asheville. Mr. Rob-ert
L. and Miss Daisy Holt, of Burling-ton,
brother and sister of the groom,
were best man and maid of honor.
The beautiful ceremony of the Episco-pal
church was performed by Rev. J.
D. Miller. Mr. and Mrs. Holt are en
a visit to a number of Xorthern cities.
—Another shipment of Clover and
i.rass Seed expected direct from Ken-tucky

Democratic County Convention.
The Democratic county executive
committee, composed of the county
chairman and secretary and the vari-ous
precinct chairmen, held a meeting
here Saturday and, as will be seen
from the call of Chairman A. M. Scales
in this issue, decided to hold the coun-ty
convention for the selection of dele-gates
to the state convention on Sat-urday,
April 7th. Precinct primaries
will be held on the previous Saturday,
March 31st.
The meeting was well attended and
the members brought encouraging re-ports
from all sections of the county.
The Democrats of Guilford, while not
wild or unduly excited, are alive to
the important issues in the approach-ing
campaign and will work bard to
win another glorious victory. Despite
the unceasing (and in many cases ques-tionable)
work of the opposition, the
amendment grows in favor as the peo-ple
become more fully informed on the
subject, and with the proper effort on
the part of the loyal and vigilant
Democrats a great majority of the
white men of Guilford will endorse the
measure at the polls on the tirst Thurs-day
in August.
Before adjourning the executive
committee extended a unanimous vote
of thanks to the ehairman and the sec-retary
for their untiring and self-sac-riflcing
labor in the campaign of 1808.
It is desired to carry out fully the
plan of organization by holding a pri-mary
in every preciDct in the county,
and it is hoped that the importance of
this matter will not be overlooked. In
no other way can as satisfactory a rep-
< resentation of the will of the people be
had.
Our manufacturers are all out in full
force looking for good working stock,
and when it shews up they stay by till
it reaches a good hard figure. Rock-ingham
stock almost runs tbem crazy,
and if you want to see some lively bid-ding
just watch them strike these goods.
Lineberry Brothers, of Giimer town-ship,
sold a lot ef tobacco on this mar-ket
a few days ago, the prices they re-ceived
pleasing them mere highly than
the result ef any sale made in recent
years. Between five and six hundred
pounds of leaf, ranging from lugs to
wrappers, brought them ever$45. They
are firm friends of the Greensboro mar-ket..
In the month of January we sent
abroad 22,604,730 pounds of domestic
leaf, as compared with 14,445,179 in
January of last year; in the seven
months the total was 251,715,967 pounds,
against 180,173.200 in '99 and 177,292.552
in'98, with respective values of $22,-
043,730,$16,821,012 and $15,307,3.V2. With
stems and trimmings added, the total
value of this trade was $22,209,939,
against $16,945,543 in '99 and $15,415,-
861 in '98.
Senator Foraker has reiterated the
statement made by a representative—
that it Is understood that the tobacco
of Porto Rico was controlled by a trust,
and that the trust and not the people
would be affected by the imposition of
a tariff on Porto Rican tobacco. There
is an American-Porto Rican Tobacco
Company, belonging to the trust in the
United states. Mr. W. T. Townes,
formerly consul general to Rio Janeiro,
is president.
