PENSION BILL.
Senator Butler's Amendment to Place Confederates on the Roll. Washington, Dec. 21.—Senator Butler of North Carolina, yesterday gave notice of an amendment ho will introduce to the pension appropriation bill pensioning ex-confederate soldiers. Tho amendment follows:
That from and after the passage of this bill every pension law now on the statuto books shall apply to every invalid soldier, minor child, dependent relative, the army nurses and all other pensioners who may be able to prove their claim under the present pension laws without regard to whether said soldier was enlisted in the federal or confederate service of the civil war of 1801-5. provided that those enlisted in the confederate service shall not draw any back pensions prior to the passage of this but their claims under existing laws shall begin and become operative with the passage of this bill.
Vilty—l-'il'tii Congress.
Washington, Dec. 31.—Senators Teller and Caffery occupied the time of the senate yesterday, the former on the Philippine question and tho latter in a speech against Morgan's Nicaragua canal bill. Mr. Teller advocated the theory that there are no restrictions upon the right of the United States to expand its borders so as to include far distant territory. He went, quite thoroughly into the legal points bearing up on the question and also incidentally discussed at some length the form of government for the Filipinos, saying that he would encourage self-govern-ment among the islanders and would give them the most liberal government which they were capable of conducting, but that he would not take down the American flag where once planted.
The house listened to Mr. Williams of Mississippi in opposition to annexation of tho Philippines. The agricultural bill was passed. It carries $3,696,822

Mr. James Micheals, while coming from town E'riday, his horses became frightened and threw him off the wagon. He received some bruises about the head and sprained the cords of his neck. He is not able to be out.
Last Sunday evening Rav. R. Brown, pastor of the Christian church, closed his term for the pa6t year by preachiug one of the grandest sermons ever given in
thiB
church house. It
was from the Book of Revelations, picturing vividly to his listeners, of the beautiful home of eternity and of the great judgment day, when rich and poor, saint and sinner, shall stand before their God to be judged. The audience was a large one, the seats and aisles all full. The people were orderly and paid close attention to all that was 6aid. The singing was annimated. The conclusion of the meeting was pitiful, when the members bid their minister good-bye, perhaps for the last time on this earth. "God be with You," was the closing song, and tears were in the eyes of nearly every one. Rev. Brown is a plain Bpoken man—what he believes he is not afraid to preach. A few people found some fault with him on that account, but nevertheless we think he is an earnest Christian man, and we believe it wise to preach his doctrine to the world instead of hiding it under a bushel. May he go on all along the line teaching the gospel in
way.

The new Methodist Emscopal church of Wingate was dedicated last Sunday. The day's service will be remembered as a great day in the illustrious history of Wingate Methodism. The church cost $5,100 all of which had been provided before dedication save $1,468 which was the task. No not a task but a joy, for the day. After Dr. David H. Moore had preached the sermon, he sent out the solicitors who under his direction and the voluntary responses of the people, raised not only the $1,468, but $1,752. The church is a beautiful modern structure having besides the auditorium a Sunday school room which will amply take care of the Sunday school, a kindergarten room furnished for the children, and a pastor's study. It is lighted with acetylene gas and heated by a furnace. This notice would not be complete without saying something of the heroic efforts and glorious achievements of the Ladies' Aid Society. They
have given and paid $600 and took on dedication day a $100 stock of the indebtedness which will make a grand total of $700, or more than one eighth of the cost of the church.
