Ther is very considerable criticism of the "gander-pulling" in w 11ioh a number of our young men engaged on Thanksgiving day. It is said that a large crowd was present to witness the torture of tho harmless creatures whose sufferings were to furnish 'sport" for the observers. A correspondent Hays of the occasion: "There was some splendid riding, sbme good pulling, and fhn for all! The heads and nocks of the ganders were picked and ^ ,i greased. Then the gander was Huspenued by a rope with his head hanging down, just in reach of the iiihii ou horaehack. Ho had to xide at full speed and pull off the 1 head of the gander. Thin proved quite a difficult job, and no one tvHH able to pull off the head. Sev- I eral fianaera were killed, thoir ne^ks beinn broken, but the head ^i*miiied intact." I'* II. .1 .. . I.I Work at Home. Soon after the a6?npsinntiou of President McKinley, a numb r of good citizens of the good city of Anderson organized jin order for the suppression of anarchism, and only a few days ago we read that members of the order would be sent out from Anderson to organize lodges in other cities and towns. This is, of course, a most creditable undertaking, but we suggest to these worthy gentlemon that their work might begin in their own county, where only a few days ago there was an exhibii tion of the spirit of anarchism. ! Lynching is anarchy?nothing | more nor less. It. is anarchy in I its worst form. The poor wretch ; Ozolgosz murdered William McKinley? he sat at defiance all law, human and divine, and took upon | himself the execution of what he conceived to be justice. An Anderson mob recently defied the laws of God and of man, and as a punishment of bis crime, put to (li'tiflt i! u*lu\ nn/lov 1. vt?.uvu it ti< n uw UIIVU I UU1 Id whh entitled to us much protection from personal vengeance as William McKinley was. The deed of Czolgosz was the act of one man. That in Anderson was the act of I 200 men?probably 200 men who had bettor opportunities to know right from wrong than Czolgosz ever had. They nullified the law. judge and jury, repudiating all statutes of the State and morality. There is no essential difference between their act and that lone anarchist who killed the president. Is there not a fertile field near home for the Anderson society for the suppression of anarchism? Why not let that organization tako the lead in bringing to trial the lynchers, who are practical anarchists Y , That would be a most excellent way to demonstrate the value of the organization and exhibit the patriotism and fenrlesness of its members.?The State.

P. Crawford, of Chester, S, C., to a lientonancy in the army because he broke his engagement to Miss Rebecca Douglass of that pince, has l?een held in abeyance by Secretary Root until he nan seeuro further information as to the young man's conduct. There is a new | point to be settled and the Anal outcome i of this interesting controversy depends 1 upon the contents of a letter, which are j as yet a secret . The secretary of war decided, after it had practically been determined not to appoint Crawford, to give him an opportunity to explain his action and granted him a hearing for that purpose. The young candidate for military honors came to Washington and made a jiersonal statement to Secretary Root, llis frankness impressed tlio secretary ; very much. lie admitted breaking an engagement to marry Miss Douglass; acknowledged that*up to two or three days before breaking it lie had given her no snggestion that be did not intend to marry her, but he declared that lie had good reasons for not fulAlliug his promise. Secretary Root asked him for his reason. This young Crawford declined i to give. He explained that lie had written to Miss Douglass's mother, statinn his reasons, ami lie ennsidomd that they wore confidoutial with her. 1 !? had 110 objection whatever to her stating them to the war department or the president, bat he declined* to do so. In ibis Secretary Root agreed with Mr. Crawford, and accordingly, he suggested t<? the friends of Miss Douglass, who had objected to Crawford's appointment, that rhey stscuro from Mrs. Douglass a copy of the young man's letter of explanation. His reason for this was that he desireil to base his action upon tin* reasons advanced and to determine himself whether there was sutlicieut ground for Crawl orcl's action. In his opinion the reasons may have shown that Crawford either was justitie?l 01* acted disgracefully. It has now been several weeks since this desire of Secretary Root was conveyed to the frieiu-s of Miss Douglass. Up to this time they have not produced Craw- j ford's letter to Mrs. Douglass. It is now said that the secretary of | war will wait a reasonable time for the senators and congressmen who have opposed Crawford's appointment to produce this letter, and if it is not done he will take it for granted that Crawford's reasons wore sufficient to justify his breaking his engagement. What is the Negro's Origin ? In the Charlotte Observer of Dec. 1, | there was nil article by Rev. Dr. J. 11. Mack on the "Origin of the Negro." Four theories were mentioned, two of which were shown to be absurd and false. The doctor said that we must, choose between the theory of "twocreatious" of mankind, and that of the "unity of the human race." both of which claimed to bo based ujtou the Bible. Ho holds to the latter theory, but we give the statement of the "two creations," as that will be of more interest to our readers. That there were two distinct creations of man. There was first, tho creation of mankind in general, which would include all the inferior races, and this is recorded in Genesis 1:2(1. Then came the creation of the white man, the royal race of earth, and this is recorded in Genesis 1:27. This theory bases its claim upon four things in these two verses. (1.) The first word in verse 27 is improperly translated "so." It should be translated "and," which proves that verse 27 is not explanatory of verse 20, but implies an additional fact, viz, another creation. (2.) The word used in verso 20 to describe what God did is "asah," which only means to make or manufacture; while in verse 27 it is "barn," which means to create and it is the highest and strongest word to describe God's jxiwer. Hence as tho word used is higher and nobler in verse 27 than in verse 20, it is argued what was created was higher and nobler. (0.) In verse 20 what God created is expressed by one word, "Adam." Now as there is no definite article nor demonstrative pronoun connected with tho word Adam, it simply means man, or mankind in general. In verse 27 what God created is expressed by three words, "Kth-Ha-Adam"?a demonstrative pronoun, the definite article, and ?l..? 1 V.I "VI- - ' ' * i in u inn .main, i ney inns translate "anil God created this one, who is tho man." i. o., tho one who is by proemi1101100 t l*c man. (#. > Tho word "thorn," in t ho phrase "lot thom have dominion" of verso 2(1 implies that a plurality of persons or races was signified by the word Adam or mankind. Candor compels mo also toadmit that this theory does answer many questions that have perplexed Bible students, and some of which cannot otherwise be satisfactorily answered. Here are some ct them. (1.) Why is there another account of tho creation of man in Gonesis 2:7; unless it is to designate which race was to put in Eden and to bo the representative of mankind in the covenant with Owl? (2.) As Gonesis 5:4 teaches that "af- I tor" Adam begat Soth "he begat sons j and daughters" it thus implies that bo- ! fore the birth of Soth only Cain and 1 Abel had been born to Adam. Who then could Cain fear would find and ' kill him; and from whom did God protect him? Gen. 4:14-15. Who was there , for Cain to marry? And where did the ! people come from to inhabit tho city | that he built? Gen. 4:17. {'.I.) If the eight persons saved in the nrk were the only persons in the world, how and where could Nitnrod, tho grandson of Ham, find people enough to till four cities, "Babel and Erechand Accad i ot-s ...... V...IIVU ?i? uiu l.lliu Ui Ollllllir.' Gen. 10:10. (4.) Whence originated those races of men which are montioued a number of times in the liible, but which are now oxtinct? Whence the Emim?the Anukim-^tho giants, who were eight feet or mote in height?and the sort of man that had six lingers on each hand and six toes on euch foot ? (6.) If the flood, that occurred 4,248 years ago, destroyed all mankind and not merely tho descendants of him designated in Scripture as "Kth-Ha-Adam;" then how could thdre have been a populous kingdom in Kgvpt 4,*>00yqars ngp? lluw could tip* nation of China haje , J \<- ' ' - .
