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."

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

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.

Till CASE OF CAPT. CRAWFORD
He May Vet Secure a Commission in the
Regular Army.
A Washington <ligl>ntoh of Friday
says that the decision not to appoint
Win. 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
