Philosophers say that the law of grav- par
ation decides everything, and that the tha
entrioical and centrifugal torces keep for

Theu look at what Christ says of bo
imself. Now, certainly every one wi
aust understand himself batter than sal
ny one else can understand him. If I lai
sk you where you were born, and you sh
eli me, "I was born in Chester, Ens
and," or "I was born in Glasgow, Scot- thi
and,'' or "I. was born in Dublin, Ire- ne
and,'' or "%I was born in New Orleana, ris
he United States,'' you being a man of inl
utefrity, 1 should believe you. If I loi
isked you how many pounds you could Cl
itt and you should say you could lift bo
100 pounds er 200 pou'nds or 300 pountIs, ge
L should believe you. It is a matter an
personal to yourself. You know better br
Lumu any one else can tell you. th
It I ask how much eslate you are wi
xorth and you say $10,000 or $100,000 fo(
ir $500,000, I believe what you say. sn
Yon know b3tter than any one else.
Now, Christ mustknow better than one to
d1s who he is aud what lie is. When I ui
isk himi how old lie Is, lie says, "Belore N
i%brahiam was, I am.'' Abraham had de
Wenl( dead 2,028 years. Was Christ ut
!,028 years old? Yes, lie says lie is older s
tla that. "Before Abraham was, I W
tim.'' Then Christ says, "I am the
Alpha." Alpha is tCe first letter af the C
[l rcek alphabet, and Christ in that utter- is
itIe declared, "I am the A of the Al- i
pet of tihe centuries.'' Then he must f

lii a man he in a thousand places at Si

BAILN WELL, C. If., S. C., Miy3. t
o Ills Excellency, Governor 13. R. Till a
manl, Columbia, S. C.: e
DEAR Sit: I desire to call your at- 1
ntion ofliAially to the recent lynching I
t Dent ark in connection with the fol -
-wing statement: V
So far no warrant has been sworn d
ut by anyone against any person sup- b
osed to be connected with the affair, tl
nd the proceidingi and verlict of the v
try of inquest give no information d
pon which the prosecution cin be be- T
1ii. 0
Under the6c eircumstances, if the a
ase is to receive that investigation ro
'hich its gravity s eiml to require, it w
ecomes the dity of the executive offl- b
Lr to institute proceedings in the
reiises. d
Inasmluch as t.he violation of the law h
mas committed in a community in
hich I have many relatives and con S
ect ions, it is not im probable that some
f them were implicated, especially in
then it is staevd that the entire com- 0(
iutnity wa:i engaixed in the enterprise. $5
Such being the case, any effort on my io
art to bring the perpetrators to justice IL
rould be emibarrasing to me, and pro- ut
ably lay me open to the charge of par
tality anl insincerity.
I would therefore respectfully re
iiest that your Excellency would E
harge the solicitor of one of the ad- at
ining circuits to take charee of the at
ase auii would suggest Solicitor Jer- ft
ey, whose circuit adjoins this county gE
lid who probably better inderstands n
I situation, could give the matter -
titisfactory attention.
Assurinu you that 1 shall be ready at
ny tine to render such services as the L
ase andi my oflice reqiuires, I am very
Bspectf illy, A
