VOL. XXIII MANNING, S. C. WEDNESDAY, MAY 19, 1909 NO.39 DISAGREEMENT Memorial Criticising the Citadel Stirs up the DIOCESAN COUNCIL Bev. C. H. Jordan Withdraws After That Body Declined to Spread on the Minutes a Memorial, Charg Ing Citadel Offcers with DIscrim Inating Against Episcopalians. The Council of the Episcopal Dio ces sat down on Rev. C. H. Joraai last Thursday at Spartanburg, claim ing that he had not been shown the. proper consideration of respect by the Council, because the Council r. fused to adopt a resolution of fered by him and refused to approve a memorial that the he presented, the Rev. C. H. Jordam. -rector of the Nativity Church at Union, asked to be excused from fur ther attendance upon the sessions of the Council. The following ac count of. the matter we take from The News and Curier: The trouble was precipitated when Mr. Jordan presented a memorial from the Greenville convention, the 1 subject of which was religious con ditions at the Citadel. The memorial f was that there was religious discrim- 1 ination at the institution against ca- I dets of Episcopal parents; that they were not allowed to attend services at the Episcopal churches as freely I as they might; that they are requir- I ed to march in squads to other s churchs, while the cadets of Roman 1 Catholic faith are permitted to at ted to attend the church of their t faith. a The discussion that followed the e reading of the memorial was lively, r objections being made to the adop- r tion or considdration of the memo rial. Judge Haskell said that if the C Councli interfered it would be mixing r religion with politics and advised the I Council to steer clear of the matter; b that the Citadel was a' State institu tion and not under the control of c the dioceses. The Rev. Albert Thomas, of Dar lington, said that he was a graduate E of the Citadel and he knew of his J own knowledge. that the Episcopal e students are not being discriminated 0 against. He said that there are Ave e Episcopal churches in Charleston and C that the cadets attend these churches more frequently than the other a churches. During the discussion it was brought out that the students a who are Roman Catholic were not C required to attend the Protestant churches and Mr. Jordan made the a point that no exception should be' R made. Finally. it was decided to re ceive the memoial as information ' and not spread it on the min-utes off the Council. Mr.. Jordan, presented then a res olution providing for the appoint- 94 ment otra committee to make an in- S i'estigation of the alleged religious discrimination at Ithe Citadel and a report the result of its findings at C the next meeting of the Diocesea I Council. 'The 'resolution provided it for thie Bishop to serve on the com mittee, Bishop Guerry promptly stat- Ih ed that he would not serve. A mG e tion was made and carried, almost 0 unanimously, that the resolution be laid on the table. Mr. Jordan (then addiessed the D Couacal stating that he had been b shut off from debate by the Council. b that he had. not been treated withb a proper respect and courtesy and- ask- a ed to be excused. The incident was a regretted by members of the Coun- f cil. The proposal was almost un animouisly regarded as ill-advised and t as likely to place the church In an undesirable light, and to provoke an unpleasant religious controversy. f The bandling of the subject from a parliamentary standpoint was per h aps a little irregular and this gave ' Mr. Jordan ground for thinklng that ( he had been treated in an unfair manner, although Bishop Guerry as sured him that such had not been his intention. . 1 BAPTIST CON~VENTION. Five Thousand or 'More Delegate Are Present. The Baptist have about captured Louisville. Ky: When Joshua Lev ering of Baltimore called to order the fi'rst regular session of the Southern Baptist Convention Wed neday, he faced perhaps 5,000O del egates. Most of them came froir.

The Citidel's System as to Church Attendance Has Always Given Sat isfaction-No Discrimination. The News and Courier says the reports from Spartanburg of the at tempt of the Rev. C. H. Jordaft, of Union, a member of the Diocesan Council of the Episcopal church, to bring about. an investigation of re ligious conditions at the Citadel, al leging tnat the cadets of the Epis opal faith were discriminated gainst and prevented from attend ng Episcopal churches, were. read with astonishment in Charleston, where curiosity was generally ex pressed as to how an impression so irronevus as that indicated could tave been formed by any one. Col. ). J. Bond, the superiatendent of he South Carolina Militay Academy, xad heard nothing of the matter hen'a representative of The News md Courier visited him at the Cita el a few evenings ago, and he read he dispatch with the greatest sur rise. '1 can't understand the matter at Lll,' he said with a smile. "We are ising today the same system as to hurch attendance that we have used or the last twenty years, and this s the first complaint I have ever Leard in regard to the matter." Col. Bond did not think that the ituation was such as to render ecessary any statement by him, but e did not object to explaining the rte-.n of church attendance as fol yved at the Citadel. The cadets very Sunday morning are sent out y companies, he said, a company to church. There are eleven church 5 on the list, which are attended in >tation. Five of these are Episco al churches-St. Michael's, St. 'hilip's, St. Paul's, St. Luke's and race Church; three are Presbyte an, the First Presbyterian, Second resbyterian and Westminster Pres yterian churches; two are Methodist -Bethel and Trinity; one Baptist hurch is included, the Citadel quare Baptist chureh. There are only six or seven Ro xan Catholics in the student body. hese are allowed to attend church s of their own faith. The students f the Jewish faith, are not requir d to attend services at Christian hurches against their will. Once each 'month communicants re allowed individual leave to at nd churches of their own denomi ation for the purpose of taking >mmunion. The cadets are allowed Sunday rternoons off and may then attend ny church they wish to attend. he first elass has Sunday evenings Ef, and members of this class may > to any church they please on Sun ay evenings. Col. Bond also added that relig us services are held in the chapel the Citadel each morning, that iere is 'a Bible class every Sunday mornig and that the Citadel Y. M. .A. holds services every Wednes y evening and every Sunday even "There Is absolutely no discrim ration at the Citadel against stud ts of the Episcopal faith or of any her faith," continued Col. Bond. t is not one of the entrance quali ations that a student be an Episco llan, but as a matter of fact it pens that more students are mem ers of the Episcopal church than of y other, more Episcopal churches e attended than the churches, of y oth'er one faith-because of this act and beause the Episcopal urches are most numerous of the 'rotestant churches in Charleston d at least four members of the eauty are Episccpalianls, while a fth attends the EpIscopal church egularly." Col. Bond is himself a vestryman f St. Paul's Episcopal church, in hlarleston. DIED AS HE SHOT. ell Dead While Trying to Shoot a Man With Gun. At Niagara Falls, N.

Smith, of Greenville, Re ports Efforts by Agents of Swif Co. to Sell Meats That Had Beei Submerged in Dirty Water fo Two Days. A dispatch from Greenville to Tho State says in a letter to Dr. C. F Williams, State health officer, I C. E. Smith, of Greenville, meat an( milk inspector, states that agents oi Swift & Co. have endeavored to 'ge him to pass the 16,000 pounds o1 meat recently condemned there or account of having been submerged io filthy water for 24 hours. Dr. Smith absolutely refuses to pass the con demned meat. In his letter to Dr. Williams he says: My idea is that they will keep it until they think it has blown over and then try to put it on our market. All the representatives of Swift have asured me -that they are willing to do just what is right and what 1 demand, but I can not believe them, as they have tried every way to get me to reconsider and pass the meat, and when I positively refused to do so they refused to do anything and now they are criticising the city ealth department. They claim that the meat is all right and that the city health depart ment is a set of "boneheads," if you know what that is. I think the mat ter has hung fire long enough and should be disposed of in some man ner. If we have not the authority to handle the situation I will writ, Dr. Melvin at Washingten Tor advice. I think it would be a disgrace to the city and Stat'e if we can not pre vent this meat being used for food purposes. RIDES ON PASSES. Sensation Follows Revelations of Committee.

Wil IBe' Sent Senator Tillman by Senator Scott. Zach McGee in his letter to The State says Senator Tillman will be fore long, have a barrel of glass pitchers. Te could have had a car load if he had wanted them. Senator Scott of West Virginia owns a glass factory and he gave the senate a lecture the other day on common glassware. He said he sold pitchers at wholesale at 90 cents a dozen, but that retailers sold them for about 60 cents a piece. Senator Tillman, who was inclined to sub scribe to Senator Rayner's doctrine that there was something about the tariff which made ;liars out of all people interested in it, threw down a sort of dare to Senator Scott to sell him some 60 cent pitchers at 90 c ents a dozen. - "I'll send you a carload," said the West Virginia senator. That was too many for Tillman who said he would not know whai to do with a carload of pitchers an3 more than he would know to d< with a West Virginia coal mine.

IN LUMBER LOBBY HAD BIG SUM OF MONEY TO En SPEND TO CARRY THEIR Scheme of Protecting Lumber in the AIN Tariff Bill Through Congress in Washington.

The lumber manufacturers of per- the State of Oregon and Washington loco- belonging to one particular associa tion were assessed $28,000, but so far they have paid only $12,000, and were they are being vigorously pressed to after pay the rest. un- Some of the advocates of free lum with ber here are declaring that the fail ure to pay the assessment is evi dence that the.real pressure for pro cars tection on lumber is not so much iour. from the sawmill people as from the ed a timlber -syndicates, who own most of the stumpage. ough There is plenty of money, how the- ever, for the lobby. ft Is estimated from that $100,000 was raised to main oken tain the special lobby here to try to keep the present rates of $2 a thou oard sand on rough lumber and the cor OC- responding high rates on other ;ton- grades.
