NOTES AND COMMENTS.
Cannot the people of Gaffney be
aroused to a sense of their duty in
regard to the outrageous freigt rates
imposed on this town by the
Southern Railway?
* * *
What’s the matter with Gaffney,
anyway? Are there no houses to
rent? Is there no one here who de
sires private boarders? We have been
printing advertisements for houses
and board and have had but one re
ply. In this issue we advertise for
board wanted, furnished house want
ed, and business house or vacant lot
wanted. Read our want column and
keep posted on the wants of the peo
ple.
* * *
If those people who borrow this
newspaper of their neighbors would
only invest $1.00 a year they would
have an easier conscience and greatly
increase our subscription list. In
most cases it is not because they de
sire to save the d< lar, but because
of the cussedness that is in them.
May God bless you, anyhow,

,\hen we say we are glad to have

diould exist throughout the world. !
Vs we understand it, Christ is the hub
and the different churches are but the ]
pokes necessary to complete the;
wheel, while the Holy Ghost may be |
termed the skein and God the axle
rpon which the universe turns. This
may be a homely illustration, but it
is made with due reverence. We have
little or no patience with that nar
row, bigoted idea that places one i
branch of the Christian church above i
the other. God knows we are all sin- :
pets in His sight, and what we should !
be trying to do is something, however i
small, that will make the world bet-;
ter and brighter for our having lived
in it. Life is altogether too short,
time too precious, for men and wo- j
men who desire to perform the du- i
t ies for which they were created to j
quarrel or disagree on matters tlieo- i
logical. We have got to choose some
f iitli, and one faith, if consistently I

The
Historical Proof.
resur’vetion of Christ has buen
l.t> hattl ground of Christianity.
Mere the church lias marshaled her
i rces and here her enemies in the
ms! have made their mo. t deadly
issaults. The apostle Paul recog-
.. d the vital character of the resur-
i • ;ion of bis Lord. "Il Christ be not
«i ( d.” said be. “then i > our pi < ach-
ng vain, and your faith is also vain.”
'hrist himself staked his divinity on
ns resur ■' lion from tin dead on
the third day. When he was asked
,:is authority for driving the cattle
from rlie temple and overthrowing the
iidos of ti e money changers, lie re
died, “Destroy this temple, and in
three day; i will raise it up,” meaning
the temple of his body.” His resur-
eetion would show him to be divine,
'; (1 consequently possessed of au-
ihority to manage God's house.
Since the resurrection of Christ is
i matter of such importance, it cer-
i^inly des rves careful attention.
The average Christian will need no
uither proof than the statement of
■he Word of God. However, even
should the inspiration of the Bible
*■ called into question, the resurrec-
ion of Chii-.t could be established on
purely historical grounds more firmly
than any event in ancient history.
For no event in the past is there
sore historical evidence. It is estab
lished by the testimony of eye-wit
nesses, who saw him die and laid in
the tomb, and then saw him alive
again. These could not have been
mistaken in the identity of the per
son seen, nor could it have been a
mere hallucination; for Christ ai>-

“‘Everywhere I go governors and

“1 have a letter from J. II. Bruner,!

Tennessee, in which he says:
“ 'Millions have gone for the im

millions more will go for canals. But

“That the proposition is new in

is decidedly new. Heretofore, the*

to the way the resurrection of ('hrist

Tucker of Virginia, congressman,
great lawyer and teacher, is reported
to have made some such statement
as this to a class of young nren se
was teaching; “Young gentlemen, in
my life I have been interested in

State and the supreme court, of tao

arid I have won many; but I hare
never won a case in which the evi-
denee was so conclusive as is the ev
idence for ths resurrection of Christ.”

profound peace, yet we are proposing
to vote $77,fiOO,Ono for the army and
$bC,Oud.OOO for the navy to be exr
pended in a single year. My bill pro
poses an apropriation of only $24,-
000,000 to be spent in three years, or
$8,0O0 ; 'i00 a year, just one-twelfth of,
what we proposed to spend on our
navy. Nobod/ was particularly sart-
led last year when we appropriated
over $70,000,0**) for rher and harbor
improvement. I dont’ think the tax
paying farmers will be very badly
scared at an appropriation of $8,000,-

Besides they know they ’vili have to

get any of it back or not.

so now would be like kicking a man

have been fully and repeatedly made
and not denied, bence the public will
not hesitate to believe that the action

in his criticism of these trustees.
