The soul is safe in heaven.

Rev. K. H. Adams, pastor of the 1st
Baptist Church, Neapolis is having a
stirring revival up to to this writing, he
has iif?y conversions, and a host of

Rev. Adams is a young man, born and
reared here. This church is 19 years
old, and he is the 19th pastor. We
think he is the right man in the right
place. It seems that Kev. Adams has
given tke best satisfaction of all the
former pastors, and have added more
members to the church than any of
them.

The riot at New Orleans does not as?
sume the aspect of a race conflict, and
should not be so confounded. It is
true that the contestants (if the mur
eieretl victims can be so designated)
were of different races, but the disor
de*r grew out of labor troubles, and
would have occurred if the parties had
all been of the same race and national?
ity. The murders were instigated by
the clangorous doctrine that one set of
workingmen may organize themselves
? 0 deprive another set of the right and
Ulrerty to work for such wages as may
Ix* agreed upon between them and
their employees. To enforce this usur
patton, murder most foul was commit?
ted, and it will be a gross miscarriage
of justice if the perpetrators do not
hang.
If somebody had to Ire killed in the
Orleans labor troubles, it would
