I think that you are all interested in the
story of Christ. You feel that he is the only
one who can help you. You have unbound
ed admiration for the commander who helped
his passengers ashore while he himself pr
ished. but have you no admiration for hi:n
who rescued our souls, himself falling bacl
into the waters from which he had saved tt:
Christ was wonderful in the magnetism of
his person.
After the battle of Antietam, when a gener
al rode along the lines, although the soldiers
were lying down exhausted, they arose with
great enthusiasm and huzzaed. As Napcleon
returned from his captivity his first step on
the wharf shook all the kingdoms, and ~",1
000 men joined his standard. It took : ,9
troops to watch him in his exile. So there
have been men of wonderful magnetism of
person, but hear me while I tell you of a
poor young man who came up from Nazareth
to produce a thrill such as has never heen
excited by any other. Napoleon had aroun I
him the memories of Austerlitz and Jena
and Badajos, but here was a man who had
fought no battles, who wore no epaulets,
who brandished no sword. He is no titlel
man of the schools, for he never went to
school. He had probably never seen a
prince or shaken hands with a nobleman.
The only extraordinary person we know of
as being in his company was his own mother,
and she was so poor that in the most delicate
and eolemn hour that ever conies to a wo
man a soul she was obliged to lie down amid
camel drivers grooming the beasts of burden,
I imagine Christ one day standing in the
streets of Jerusalem. A man descended
from high lineage is standing beside hita,
and says, "My father was a merchant prince.
He had acastle on the beach at Galiiee. Who
was your father? Christ answers, "Joseph.
the carpenter." A man from Athens is
standing there unrolling his parchment of
graduation, and says to Christ, "Where did
you go to school?" Christ answers, "I nev
er graduated." Aha: The idea of such an
unheralded young man attempting to com
mand the attention of the world. As well some
little fishing village on Long island :-hore at.
tempt to arraign New York. Yet no sooner 'loes
he set foot in the towens or cities of Judta to an
everything is in commotion. The people
-go out on a picnic, taking only fool enough
for the day, yet are so fascinted with Christ
that at the risk of starving they follow him
out into the wilderness. A nobleman talls
down fiat before him, and say-s, --My daugh
ter is dead." A beggar tries to rub the dim
ness from his eyes, and says, "-Lord, that
my eyes may be opened.'' A poor, ai-ck.
panting woman, preasing through the crowd.
says, "I must touch the hem of his garment."
Children, who love their mother better thain
any one else, struggle to get into his arms.
and to kiss his cheek, and to run their ting
ers through his hair, and for all time putting
Jesus so in love with the little ones that
there is'hardly a nursery in Christendom
from which he does not take one, saying:
"I must have them. I will fill heaven witit
these, for every cedar that I plant in heaven
I will have 50 whit-e lilies, In the hour
when I was a poor man in .Judnc they were
not ashamed of me, and now that I have
comie to a throne I do not despise them. Hld
it not back, oh, weeping mother' Lay it on
my warm heart. Of such is the kingdom of
heaven-"
What is this coming down the road: A
triumphal procession. Ie is seated-not in
a chariot, but on an ass, and yet the people
take off their coats and thro w them in the
way. Oh, what a time Jesus made a monog
the children, among the beggars. am.ong the
fishermen, among the philosophers: You
may boast of self control, but if you had seen
him you would have put your arms around
his neck and said. '-Thou art altogether love
Jesus was wonderful in the opposi-tes and
seeming antagonisms of his nature. 'l out
want things logical and consistenat, and you
say, "How could Christ be God and man at
the same time?" John says Christ was the
Creator. "All things were made by him.
and without him was not anything made.
Matthew says that he was omnipresent.
" Where two or three are met together in my
name, there am I in the midst of them.'
Christ declares his own eternity. "-i am
Alpha and Omega." How can he be a lion.
under his foot crushing kingdoms, and yet
a lamb, licking the hand that stays him? At
what point do the throne and the manager
touch? If Christ was God, why dee into
Egypt? Why not stand his ground? Why.
instead of bearing the cross. not lift up his
right hand and crush his assassins: Wnya~
stand and be spat upon? Why sleep ont the
mountain, when he owned the palaces of
eternity? Why catch fish for his breakfast
on the bench in the chill morning, when all
the promegranates are his, and all the vine
yards his, and all the cattle his, and all tet
partridges his. Why walk when weary. andi
his feet stone bruised, when he t:ight have
taken the splendors of the sunset forhi
equipage and moved with norses andcr

nity he poured the Euphrates, the Mis-issip-i
and the Amazon, and, dipping his ha ii

progress on this lire.

S. M. Allison, of Cullman, Ala.,
was shot Tuesday night, by George
W. Sullivan, whom he was endeavor
ing to arrest. Sullivan is wanted by
the Southern Express company for
train robbery in Arkansas. Last
March circulars with photographs and
description of Sullivan were sent out.
ruesdaya stranger traveling through
the country stop ned to get a drink of
water at Mr. 'alker's, near there.
Young Philot, who was there and who
had one of the circulars, at once re
cognized him. No effort, however,
was made to arrest him, and he passed
on a few miles when he met Ab Po iv
eli, who also recognized him from the
circular. Mr. Powell meeting Sheriff
Alood, who was in the country, in
formed him of the facts. When the
sheriff reached town Sullivan passed
through. Mr. Allison and a Mr.
Howell wvent in pursuit. They found
hims at the house of Mr. Smitners,
three miles north of town, abcout 11
o'clck Mornday night. Their knock on
the dcoo- was anawered by its b::ing
opened, andi stepping in they Iouni
their man lying on a pallet on the
floor. Sullivan immediately raised
himself to a sitting'nosition and asked:
"Do you want me?"
Ailison answered: "If your name
is Sullivan, I do."
The latter immnediately raised him
self, raised his pistol, which he had
concealed between his legs, and fired.
The ball entered the neck above the
claviele. Allison fell, andi for some
*ime it was tnought he was dead.
Sullivan fled, without shoes or hat.
He wvent into Falkv-ille Tuesday morn
ini that condition and s arrendered,

The Washington Post says: Mr. T E
Wardner, editor and publisher of the
Bac.ton Traveler, was in that city re
cently in consultation with senator:
Mdatie, Tillmnau anti Cannon, ex
Repiresentative Towne, and other lead

the silver sentirnent in Ne w E oelad

They were beginning to see that th
continual pinching of the currerncy
nould lialiy bring prices so low that
ba-skeuptcy would be inevitable.

'o c-r d, than if Judge Simotoi
-ud issud an order preventing the.
ecn engagircg in the busiress. It
;s learned Saturday that all of the
railroads have refused to Lao die .iq
uor shipped in original packages, as
ts term is de~ned by Ju.e Si'non
ton, and consequently no shipmcnts
cf separate b!tties can be rectived in
Columbia or other portions of ite
State. The Blumenthal and Bickar:
shipment was expected here Saturday,
but it is doubtful if it arrives at all.
An other shipment of the same kind
was expected from Savannah for an
other dealer but probably will not be
receivcd. The railroads take this ac
a tion purely from a business stand
point. Slioments made in rccord
ance with Judge Simor-ton's order are
not according tnt c'assifiention ::s idopt
:.d by all the railroads. If shipped in
the legal manner there would be dau
ble chances as to breakage and the
railroads would be held liable for
damsge which would prcbibly de
stroy all profits in the freight chargcs
that they mialht receive.
Accorditg to the published ciassid
cation of the asscciated railways, in s
monthly pamphlet called "How to
Shin," alcohoic liquors are classed
ditierently and are shipped at differ
ent rates. The following, taken from
this pamphlet, will show how the rail
roads r qaire alcoholic liquor to be
shipptd:
A!cohol, in cans, bcxed.
Alcohol, N. 0. S. ; same as whiskye.
Bitters, same as liquors, N. 0 S.
Gin; same as whissey.
Hign r:ines; same as whiskey.
Wniskey, in boxes or baskets, or in
glass, packed in b.arrels
Whisker, in wccd, N. 0. S., (esti
mated weight 420 pounds per barre.)
W'-.iskey, domestic wines and co
mestic brandies, in wood, (estimated
weight 420 pounds per barrel), owner's
risk of leakage, value limited to 75
cents per gallon.
Whiskey, for export. in wood, must
be charged at actual weight when ob
tainable. When not obtaiaable, must
be charged at estimated weight of 410
pounds per barrel.
N. 0 S., in glass, packed in boxes,
baskets or barrels.
N. 0. S. means "not otherwise spe
cified." It will be seen that accord
ing to these rules there are no provi
sions for shipping liquor according to
Judge Simonton's decision. The rail
roads therefore will not accept ship
ments unless packed according to the
regulations. It means a possible loss
to them, through claims for damages,
which the roads cannot afford to have.
Mr. Mancke, the agent of Blumen
thal and B:ckar,, has been informed
of the decision of the railroads and
unless he can make some arrangements
wi th the roads, or his firm does, the
probabilities are that the original pack
agestore will not be opeaed Monday
as expected.
The dispensary officials were very
mucht rejc~iced at this unexpected turn
of affairs in their favor and they are
more jabilant than ever. On the oth
er band some of the contemplaiie
original package people are inclined
to believe that the railroads are in
league with the state. This is, c-f
cou:-se, a supposition without any
foundation. in fact for railroads are
ran for the money which is pcssible to
be made. A shipment by the State,
an original package dealer or a blind
Itiger man is all the same to them so
they pay the cash, and in this instarnce
they seem fully to be carrying out the
idea when they refuse shipments on
which they are liable to be held fox
damages far in disproportion to what
tney might otherwise make. '
The annouacement of the determi*
nation of the railroads has not only
made a comamo.ion among original
package people, at thas very material
.ty changed th atuation.
ISeveral of the local representatives
of railroads have during the past day
or two received positive instructions
not to handle such business or solici:
it. A dealier from WiLmington stated
to a Register reporter that he 1:ad of
:ercd such a shipment in tha~t etty t'o
the Coast Line, but it was refused. E
declared that he knew no reason fox
it, but the statement above fuily ex
nlains the reason.

Now that Mr. McKinley is the Pres.
ide,nt, w& shall have an opportunity
to ascertain whether he is merely the
nominal president and under the guid
ar ce of the Bankers' Committee on
Wall street as was the case with the
retiring president. Also is there op
perfunity already icr some compari
sons. On the surface, Wall street is
disgruntld at the President's utter
ances, especially regarding bimetal
lism. The appcintment of Mr. Gage
to the Treasury was disappointing to
those who sincerely believed that Mc
inley would do as he has done, ad
here, so far, to the declarations of the
platform on which he was elected,
that an effort should be made forin
ternational agreemer.t. Knowing
Gage's entire subserviency to keep to
the gold power, the general members
of the party do not know what to ex
pact. The real bimetallists were
snubbed by Gage's appointment, and
Gage supporters are worse than snubb
ed by McKinley's pledge to make the
international effort. Meanwhile, as
a matter of fact, Mr. Gage will go on
with the administration of the De
partment, in the same line of policy
as did Mr. Carlisle.
The Minneapolis Evening Press
say s: "In February, 1893, an c fficial
1 of a Western national bank, in high
standing in the councils of the Repub
lican party of his State, made a busi
ress trip to New York, remaining
about three weeks. He made his
headquarters during his stay at the
cffices of his correspondent bank,
which was and is a member of the
famous Bankers' Committee. He had
arranged for a ?can of a large amount
of money, when the president asked
to what use he intended to put the
money. The Western Republican
bank president stated that he should
at once pay a prior mortgage upon a
very valuable farm in the West, upon
which his bank held a subsequent en
cumbrance. To this statement the
New York bank president instantly
relied:
IDo not pay this mcrtgage. Do
not put any morney in real estate.
Get all your prerty into money.
Am glad you told me about this-why
we have just elected Mr. Cleveland
upon the distinct understanding 'with
us, that he will repeal the Sherman
law and appoint a secretary of the
treasury who will redeem all green
backs ard treasury notes in gold
such action will enable us to issue
two or three sets of bonds within as
many years, and the effects upon the
value of western farm lands will be te] -
riie, cutting their values in two.
No, do not think of paying this mort
gage. Let them foreclose and buy it
back af ter t wo years for less than the
face of the mortgage."
And upon am other occasion during
this visit, this New York bank presi
dent, while engaged in a conversation
Iwith the Western banker, asked to be
excusd, staling that he must attend a
committee meeting that afternoon.
"We are formulating Mr. Cleve
lands message to Congress."
He also at this time advised the
Wesener that the Sherman law
wou d :e immediately repealed when
Mr. C~e'elard was irstalhd! Canit
