is puti that'the Beech Island Club of

their “right* and interests have been
ignored and subject to unjust and a im

that he visited these vile ‘dens of in-
iquitj' for the purpose of reclaiming
the daughter of a friend who had gone
astray. *
The reclaimed woman lias never
heed seen or jdentifled ip anv* way,
and yet this clerical drunkard and
rake expects to be belieyeff because he
sa3’s so. His stor3’ is so utterlj’ pre
posterous that it }s discreditable to his
intelligence, as well as to his religion
am] morals. That a minister of the
gospel should, while in a strange cit3*,
after frequent alcoholic potations,
send for a hack and start out unac
companied by a policeman, or even a
reputable friend, on a general visita
tion of the brothels of a great cit3’
like Cincinnati, distributing beer
money, and indulging in the most
questionable familiarities as he went,
is something i;o unusual, improper
and indecent, as to be altogether
irreconcilable with the faintest proba
bilities of a worthy purpose.

We pay taxes and vote and there is

not grow any less, while our u!>ilit3’

beetrdbiie to foster and encourage that
intel-est which feeds and sustains all

“mudsills,” of »ur economic fabric;
but thousands of white men—land

slowly but sureli’sinking beneath the

upon which a few men and corpora

pending bankruptcy stares thousands
in the face, while other'thousands are
overseeing their own plantations for
their victuals and clothes.
An insane system of farming large
