These letters were secured by The State's represcntatire this evening. They explain in a manner the reason of- Miss Turner's departure from her home, and the place where sho has been staying in this city siuce she was located: To the Public: in justice to myself, I feel that I must correct the impression made by some false reports that are iu circulation. It has been stated that I j left my father's roof because ho J refused my association with young men. I have not cared for nor Bought the company of young men, any more than any other young lady would do. But hecause of differences between my father and^myself 1 felt that i must lmivo him onil onnlr on?tlm? honi", in which I could bo protected and have an opportunity of making my support by some lion orablo living. The check book shown by my father to a Journal reporter, with its "stubs, ranging from seven to* one hundred dollars1' was in my possession this past summer. The amounts withdrawn by me were all used to pay my expenses while hero under the treatment of Dr. Doan; and for nine weeks1 treatment in Johns Hopkins hospital in Haitimore. My illness was caused by mistreatment. His cause for mistreating me was his hearing the false report that I was secretly married. He made no investigation to verify the report, until I was prostrated. My charac tor speaks for itself. I need not defend it. 1 will bo greatly obliged to the public if they will kindly drop the matter, as 1 feel competent to attend to my affairs. Lola A. Turner. Nov. 25, 1902. In connection with the above beautiful appeal, 1 beg to say that this lady sought refuge at this house and found it. 1 have no excuse to offer for my actions. 1 have been taught that the noblest act of man is the defence of wo man. i uiu not nurse my motner s breast to damn her kind. It is better that I thoukl be doceivod than that she should be damned. She is not a prisoner at ray house and I shall not ask Jher to leave, and 1 must insist that parties wishing to see or confer with her will first notify ;me of their purpose.

Haddock Makes A Statement Concerning His Recent Attack on Masonry?Claims to Have been Misrepresented?A Reiteration. To The State. I understand that there have appeared in the Columbia State, and in some oilier papers, statements that 1 have in recent sor? mons exposed the secrets of Free Masonry. I wish to say that these statements are false. 1 have not even preached a sermon on Masonry. I simply alluded to Masonry in two of my reeent sermons, saying that I did not see how Christian men could bo Masons, and that any man who de-? ponds on Masonry for salvation is depending on a false hope. In commenting on this statement 1 gave my reasons for condemning secret societies and especially Masonry as the mother of them all. I said of Masonry that (1) it teaches a false regeneration, (2) it beclouds God's Word making its sweetest passages to Christians moan nothing but Masonry, (3) it rejects the Lord Jesus Christ in not allowing His name used in tho lodge, not even in prayer, (4) it is tinged with Roman Catholicism, erecting buildings to tho holy St. Johns, (5) it is a survival of sun worship or Baalism (0) it fosters a spirit of murder ^hy an awful death penalty oath, (0) it puts Christians in a common fra? ternity with tho wicked, (7) it fosters disrespect for law by binding men to protect ami defend each other even in unlawfulness. I believe tho Now Testament condemns secretism in the following passages: John 3: 19-21: 11. Cor., 4: 1-5; Eph. 5: 11: Matt. 10: 2-6. Now, Mr. Editor, 1 trust that you and the Ilonea Path and Greenville papers will do mo the justice of publishing this article verbatim, that I may not be misrepresented by those who would make it appear that 1 have a spirit of condemnation for my breth'-en and friends. 1 have said nothing o* men but have disapproved of a Avutnm Monti " ? ? .JW.WUJ. AUUUJ J^UUU U1CI1 gu wrong and sometimes for a long time% H. C. Haddock. Liberty, Dec. 1, 1902. [The Masonic order will doubtless take care of itself. So far as publications in Tke State aro concerned, Mr. Haddock has put up a straw man to hit. The State's correspondents truthfully noted Mr. Haddock's attack on Masonry and recorded his acknowledgement, when questioned from the floor, that he was not familiar with the secret workings of the order. Most secret societies, springing from tho mother, Masonry, have as their mudsills some such sinful (?) principles as tho Charity of Christ, the truth of God and Confusion to the Pbari* sees.
