The break came Friday evening at j
5 o'clock at the Buckner plantation.
A squad of negro workmen had been '
working on the levee directing their
attention particularly to a "boil" 50 '
feet from the base of the revetment, j'
They were preparing to strengthen the !
weak spot when a section 50 feet wide
ibursted the base of the levee. In a
few minutes a 15-foot wall of water j
"was rushing through the break.
Within 20 minutes it is declared the i
i
water had spread over an area two
sniles square. At Australia plantation

Whether B. J. Rhame or Hugh Wil

er will be settled by the supreme court, j
Associate Justice Watts signed an j
order requiring R. H. Jennings, the
State treasurer, to show cause before
the supreme court on April 19 at 10
o'clock why a premptory mandamus
should not be issued to require him to
honor the draft or check drawn by B.
J. Rhamo as State bank examiner for
expenses during the month of March.
B. J. Rhame was dismissed several
days ago by the governor and Hugh
"Wilson Fraser appointed to his place.
Mr. Rhame refused to give up the of
fice. In his petition for mandamus
Mr. Rhame says that "he is the bank
examiner of the State of South Carolina.
under the laws of said State, having
been duly appointed and. commissioned
to the said office and has been
and still is engaged in the discharge
of the duties of the said offiC9."
It is stated in the petition that during
March the expenses of the office
was $51.95 and that the State treasurer
has refused to pay this amount
upon presentation of the claim.
Mr. Rhame is represented by W. F.
Stevenson, of Cheraw.
LANDSLIDE FOR ROOSEVELT.
Taft Forces Badly Beaten in Pennsylvania
Primary.
Philadelphia, April 13.?The primary
election in Pennsylvania resulted in a
landslide for Col. Roosevelt. As
the returns continue to come in the
victory for Roosevelt adherents becomes
more apparent. Of the 64 delegates
elected in the 32 districts, fully
50 are pledged to voted for Roosevelt.
A.dded to this is the probability that
the Republican State convention,
which will choose 12 delegates at large
to the national convention, will be
controlled by the Roosevelt element,
insuring at least 62 delegates for
Roosevelt from this State.
Solid Delegation for Wilson.

It Was His Soul That Died, His
Soul That Was Resurrected,
Pastor Russell, In Baltimore, Exploded
a Theory Which Has Been Held Tenaciously
by Many Theologians?Second
of a Remarkable Series of Sermons
on the Resurrection.

showed from St. Paul's words that
without God's purpose of a resurrection
those who have fallen asleep in death
would have perished as brutes.
You will recall also that we demon;
strated that it is not the body, but
the soul, that is promised a resurrection?that
it was our Lord's soul that
went to sheol, to hades, to the death
state, and that God raised Him from
death on the third day. We noted a
| difficulty into which all Christendom
: was plunged by the theory that it is
1 the body that is to be resurrected.
What Went to Heaven?
The ordinary thought in Christian
I minds in respect to Jesus' death and
resurrection is that when He seemed
to die He did not die; that he, the be-1
ing, the soul, could not die; that, in- j
i stead. He went to heaven, and then on
' the third day came back to get the
, body which had been crucified; that Fie I
took it to heaven forty days later
marred with the print of the nails iu j
i His hands and feet, the thorns upon
His brow and the spear mark in His j
i side. What a ghastly thought!
Our Methodist friends have not yet
; changed their statement of the matter, j
namely, "He ascended up on high, taking
His fleshly body with Him, and alM
that appertained thereto, and sat down ,
! on the right hand of God." This medieval
statement correctly admits that
the fleshly body was not the Lord's,
but that He, the soul, took it with Him
! as luggage. The statement, "Ana an
that appertained thereto," presumably
refers to sanda/s, walking stick, etc.
All this is of a piece with the theory
that the saints when they die go to
heaven, and then, later, come back an&
i get their bodies "and all things apper|
taining thereto"?the inconveniences,
J presumably, that they have been rici
of for centuries! How many trunk
loads of "things appertaining thereto"
may be taken by some is not stated.
What Say the Scriptures?
The Bible presentation of this sub^
ject is every way reasonable, con
sistent and harmonious. St. Paul points
out that "There is a natural body and
I there is a spirit body." He does not
mean, and be does not say, that the
: spirit body is a human body glorified
i Quite to the contrary. He declares
that "flesh and blood cannot inherit
the Kingdom of God"?no matter how
glorified it might be. A human being
would be so totally different from a
spirit being that, as St. Paul says, "It
' doth not yet appear what we shall be"
: ?in our change?and the Scriptures do
I orpn nttemDt to give an explanation.
j The Bible merely declares that as vre
i now bear the image of the earthy
(Adam), we shall, by the glorious resurrection
change, be given a share iD
the nature and likeness of the Second
Adam, our glorious Lord: "We shall
be like Him. and see Him as He is"?
and, be it note'!, we must change from
fiesli and blood conditions to spirit con!
ditions by resurrection power, in order
! that we may see Him as He is.
He Appeared and Disappeared,
j Two lines of difficulties now present
themselves, one of which can be an
| swered. and the other cannot. The
j unanswerable difficulty is where a nati
ural minded man undertakes to reason
> Pnni pvnlains this.
; ID6 SUUJCCI, uuv. v->. ,
j saying, "The natural man receiveth not
,; the things of the Spirit of God. neither
: | can he know them, because they are
| spiritually discerned."
The Apostle proceeds (verses 3G-oO)
to tell us that all men are natural men,
' except such as have been begotten by
| the IIolv Spirit. All natural men will,
-: in their resurrection, receive earthly or
1 human bodies, while all spiritual ones,
_ New Creatures in Christ, will receive
? i spirit bodies.
' | Coming to the point of what is to be
i resurrected, we note that our Lord ap}
peared in a body of flesh, and showed
3 the disciples the print of the nails and
j the hole made by the spear. But we,
perhaps, failed to note that only twice
did He thus appear, and but for a few
moments each time. His other six or
seven appearances during that forty
days were also very brief, and in vari
J ous bodies?once as a gardener, anothei
, time as a traveler, His third time as a
2 j stranger on the shore, and to Saul ol
j Tarsus as a spirit being of more than
angelic brightness?"shining above the
j brightness of the sun at noonday."
s Now we see more distinctly why oui
_ | Lord did as lie did. His disciples were
- J natural men and therefore coma uoi
-! appreciate spiritual things. The Lore
s1 adopted the only reasonable way ol
11 helping them to understand that H(
e vrns no longer dead?that He had riser
i from the dead.
