I have read your editorial paragraph

I sent you last week about the at
tack made on a negro by blockaders
because of their belief that he was
the one that gave them away and
caused their outfit to be destroyed.
I have never made a statement in
your paper, or any other, that I
could not, and would not with pleas
ure, «ubstantiate. I stated only
(acts, and what these parties did
was a cowardly act, and a species of
lawlessness that should not be tol
erated in a civilized community.
That’s the proper stuff. State the
facts as they exist. It may end in a
cowardly assassination like that of
the late N. G. Gonzales, but you will
have the consolation of knowing that
you have done your duty.

Ice cream soda is said to be a cold

An injunction to restrain a man

“The good old summertime” ar

Being a trifle late it is naturally try
ing to make up for lost time, and is
succeeding remarkably well
Governor Heywarci has refused a
pardon for Mrs. Fannie Carson. Good
for the Governor. Mrs. Carson should
have been hung, and it would indeed
be a terrible miscarriage of justice
were she permitted to go free.

The nast week has been another
one of tragedy in this State. The
situation is becoming alarming and if
something is not soon done to check
the downward tendency of humanity
no man can tell where it will all end.
♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
People who tell the truth have
nothing to fear. It sometimes hap
pens that a man makes a mistake,
but if he is a man he will apologize
for his error. If he is a coward or an
ingrate he will stick to the falsehood
even after be has been satisfied of his
error.

Notwithstanding the hard exercise
to which he subjects himself, Presi
dent Roosevelt is said to be steadily
gaining in weight. He has tri u d all
the known methods for reducing
weight except that of running a news
paper, and he is not likely to emu
late tbe example of Mr. Bryau.

Mrs. Eliza Boardman Burnz, who
died in Pennsylvania recently at the
advanced age of eighty, was generally
known as tbe “mother of women
stenographers,” and as such, will
doubtless long be held iu grateful
remembrance by the yearly increas
ing army of wage-earning women.
In his Fourth of July address
President Roosevelt said that “the
worst crime against this nation which
can be committed by any man is tbe
crime of dishonesty,” and he de
clared that “we are not to be ex
cused as a people if we ever condone
such dishonesty, no matter what
qualities it may be associrted with.”

Mr. Editor:—I wish to ask a ques
tion and would like for some good
Ledger man who has a m:rul Chris

makes people fight holiness so when
tbe Bible says holiness on the out
side and all through the inside, you
may say? Why, they don’t know any
better about it, or no one fights it a bu8meg8 trip tQ
except a fooi.
Well, 1 kno v that won’t do, for I
am sure I know some preachers who
have a fine education and have r<-ad
the Bible clear through and they
fight it like a circular saw. What do
you think of it, any how? Is it
right, or not, to fight it?. If it isn’t,
then most of tbe folks are wrong.

words in regard to the colored Bap

was children’s day at the church, and
the children had what is generally
termed “a good time”—in fact the
best time ever known at Mt Zion
All present enjoyed themselves to the

good crowd at the church, about 250,
men and women, girls and boys, and
about 30 babies.
A collection was taken up, amount-

is that the will of God? No, this is
the will of God: He said in St. John
17:17. “Sanctify them through thy
truth: Thy word is truth.” Then
read St. John 17:19 “And for their
sakes I sanctify myself, that they
also might be sanctified through the
truth.” Read further, Ephesians
4, 1:32, and see if this will justify a
man to make light or sport of the
Holy Gospel by saying “the holiness
