♦Correspondence of The Ledger. I
Washington, D C.. Ost. 8.-—Ttifsre
is c ujsiderable discussion here over
the fact that the plutocratic preps of
the country is especially enamored of
the remark made by Gov. Durbin, of
Indiana, the other day, that, "the i
m in who violently assails, by word or
deed, the laws of the country such as
ours commits a crime not only of in- j
famy hut of insanity.”
The opinion exists here that the t
the pastorate at Florida and also be
came one of the njo>t useful members
of the Board of Missions for that
State. From Florida he was called to
the First Baptist church of Lancaster,
Ky., and while there be completed a
special course of theological study in
the Southern Baptist Theological
Seminary at Louisville, Ky. In July,
1900, Mr Massie acceptedjthe call of
the Bark Avenue Baptist church,
Mansfield, Ohio, and there for three
years he enjoyed a most successful
pastorate, receiving over two hundred
and fifty members. The Mansfield
‘‘Daily Shield” had this to say of
Dr. Massie: ‘‘Mr. Massie’s work
here has been highly successful; he
has built up the church in a splendid
manner, extended its sphere of action
and usefulness in the city, and trie
thought that he is to leave this
tarn- church, which he has served so splen-
only didiy, is un unpleasant one to his
cor- people.”
have While in Ohio Mr. Massie was also
they quite prominent in the general work
of that State, being a member of the
Board of Managers of the State Con
vention ; Trustee of the State Educa-
above comes with rather poor grace
from Gov. Durbin, who has refused to
honor the requisition of the State of
Kentucky for one of the men accused
of the murder of Gov. Goebel, when
the law and the constitution requires
the p* rpetrators of such crimes to be
delivered up to justice. Is he hardly
a fit man to read lectures on what is
right and wrong? It is admitted that
to violently assail a law that is rob
bing the people of the United States,
such as the Dingley tariff law, is a
crime to the trust magnates wlu pro
fit by it. To denounce the laws in
several states that tax the small
home and the little personal property
of the poor man on its full value, and
let the corporations and the million
aires off with only paying 20 or 80
per cent, is instantly according to
Hanna and the republican leaders in
Ohio. To all such the law of their
owu making is too tacred to be
pored witn, and Gov. Durbin
echoes the cry of the trusts and
portions, who, in most cases,
paid for the unrighteous laws
hold so sacred. Toe most of the laws
passed recently have been passed by
republicans, and the shoe is begin
ning to pinch when the people are
crying out against them, and hence*
the howl by the governor of Indiana,
who stands for everything the trusts
demand. If the people of Indiana
like that sort of thing and that sort
of governor, they may continue to
worship their own fetish, and the
thinking people of this country will
draw their own conclusions concern-
ingibe mental condition of Indiana’s Broughton, in a
population.
* * *
There is considerable adverse com
ment going on here anent the attempt
of prominent republican politicians
to select the democratic nominee for
the presidency next year. Not long
ago the Hon. Shelby M. Cullom, of
Illinois. United States Senator, came
out in an interview and proclaimed
that Senator Gorman was the ideal
democrat to nominate for the presi
dency by the democrats. There is no
shrewder or more adroit politician in
the Congress of the United States than
Mr. Cullom. He said in that inter
view that ‘‘I am convinced that Gor
man has the real welfare of the nation
deeply at heart. I learned that at
the time the Wilson tariff measure
was up for passage. It was he who
saved our amendments to that bill.”
The democrats who have beeu in this
city in the past few days are com
menting on this statement by the
leading republican from the State of
Illinois, and saying that it is pretty
good democratic policy to do the
things those kind of republicans repu
diate and not do the things they ad
vocate. When the democrats of the
country have to take their nominees
from among the men republicans
want to see nominated, then the
democracy is in a pretty bad row for
stumps, and would do well to either
repudiate republican suggestions or
else go into the bands of a receiver.
The nomination of a democrat with
tbe above indorsement from one of
the leading republicans of the coun
try would place the democracy on the
explaining bench from start to finish
of the campaign. If the trusts and
tbe tariff questions are to be upper
most in tbe coming campaign, then
tbe above suggestion may give tbe
democrats of the country some food
for thought. Will you nominate a
man whose whole life and action in
tbe past have been a protest against
trusts and corporation greed, or nomi
nate a man who stands for all the
trusts want and who must be nomi
nated in order to get the Influence of
the trusts as well as their money?
Tbe democrats of tbe country may
answer the question.

Ohinkiang, China, Sept. 4th, ’08.
The Ledger :—I was glad to see in
a recent issue of the Foreign Mission
Journal that the Broad River Baptist ;
Association has increased verv much
in its contributions to foreign mis
sions. It is one of the best signs of i
progress, and it was cheering news to
us over here in this weary land to
bear of it. When a people begin to
be liberal, then you know there is
something good around somewhere.
Would the pastors and churches al
low me make one or two suggestions?
My first and foremost recommenda
tion would be that an effort be made
to get all the church members to
study the Bible. The simple plan as
it would strike mo would be to try to
get each one to study some book of
the Bible and learn just what it says
There is so much talk about ihe
Bible, so much preaching from text, |
that it seems to me a revival of the
study of the actual facts of the book j
itself would bring great results. You
cannot open the Bible anywhere
without finding missions in it. Could 1
not Bible classes be organized in con
venient neighborhoods, and once in a
while a general gathering for pure
simple Bible study at the church?’
Every good work will grow with an
increase in a devout knowledge of
the Bible. People need the Lord more
i than they need preaching, that is,
j homilies about the bible, though this .
j is also very valuable. I think it mere
! important to study the Bible to get
i inspiration for missions than I do to
study the fields and the present pro
gress of missions. Certainly missions,
are making progress. Our board has
made a forward movement, and are 1
continually sending out missionaries. :
The other day there was a gathering 1
of protestant missionaries in China
one, of course, knows what the poli
ties of tbe future will be in this part
of the world, and it does not matter
much. The forces of tbe old and the
new are struggling against each
other, but history shows that the
new must triumph in tbe end, so, for
that we are encouraged to go forward.

Columbia, 8. C., October (5.—The
week ending 8 a. m.. Monday, Oc

09 degrees, which is practically nor

light easterly.

showers on Friday, in the central
counties. Otherwise the week was
without rain. Rain would be of
great benefit to peas potatoes, gar

Early corn is about all gathered:
late corn is fully ripe; the latter is a
poor crop.
Cotton opened freely generally,
with reports of premature opening in
’ the western counties, particularly in
fields affected by rust. The weather
was so favorable, that picking kept
up with the opening. In the eastern
i counties three fourths or more of

the western ones less than one-fourth
has been picked, making an average!
for the State of about half the cr >p
Without exception, correspondents
report the crop a short one, and that 1
the prospective yields will he less
than last year, but the lint is being
saved in excellent condition There
will be no top on upland cotton, but
a small top crop is indicated on sea-
island. A few correspondents state
that rain would benefit late cotton by
checking premature opening of half
grown bolls, but the majority state
that subsequent weather conditions
will not affect the quantity of the
crop. An early killing frost wou.d

The inquest over the body of Wil

negro who was shot near Maryville
on last Sunday, and who died at the
City Hospital in Charleston Monday,
was held Friday at the hospital and a
verdict of accidental shooting re
turned. It was brought out at the
inquest that George Wast, a brother
of the dead negio, shot him while
drawing a cartridge from a pistol.
George said that he and his brother
were playing iu the road and that he
tried to take the pistol, which his
brother had in his pocket, away from
him. His brother let him have the
gun and turned to one side to go to a

tridge and the hammer in some way
exploded the cap of a shell and the
ball struck his brother iu tbe head,
rendering him unconscious. Only

of the tragedy. Terry was commit

been regarded as a steady law-abiding
