Seventy-four miss ed the first and eighvhty-four the fifth. Only sixty-nine could tell who were saved from the flood, and twenty-five only, knew who tried to save Sodom and Gomorrah, and not one was able to 'tell who lost his life on Mt. Gllboa. Some of the guesses at the last ques tion were, “Moses, Joshua, Elijah, Aaron and Jesus.” The question was asked, “What great event in the his tory of God’s people happened at the Red Sea? At Mt. Sinai? At Jeri cho?” Only fifty-eight knew the first thirty-five the second and twenty three the third. The guesses revelaed Ignorance of both events and Biblical geography, for example, “The ark rested on Mt. Sinai,” “Mt. Sinai was the promised land,” “Moses was tempt ed there by the devil,” “The greatest sermon ever preached was preached on Mt. Sinai,” “Abraham offered up Isaac there,” “5,000 people were fed there,” “Moses died there.” Only seventeen knew who built the taber nacle and only twenty-seven had any clear idea of the temple.

Lige stood and listened to him with an air of nonchalance which only added insult to injury.

Next, he took into his own hands the examination of those men who claimed to have formed opinions.

ANSEL TAKES THE OATH. South Carolina Governor Inaugurat ed For His Second Term. Columbia, Jan. 20.—Governor Mar tin F. Ansel was today inaugurated Tillman Gives Out Brief Statement Concerning Speech of Taft. Washington, Jan. 20.—Senator Till man today gave out a brief statement in reply to statements made in to day’s newspapers that President-elect Taft had him in mind yesterday in his speech at Augusta, in which Taft is reported as having spoken of Till man as lacking in sympathy for the education of the negro race. Tillman attributed Taft's criticism to “misstatements and malicious edi torials in some of the South Carolina newspapers,” in which, he said, his attitude had not been clearly stated. “In the first place,” he said, “I am not opposed to negro education at all, provided ti is the right kind. What I slid and meant and by which I stick, is: That the Republican poli cy of the last forty years has been to compel the Soirth to recognize the political equality of the negro. We disfranchised every negro we could under the fifteenth amendment and only the instrumentality available was to require an educational quali fication. We never intend to be governed by negroes, whether educat ed or uneducated. “The Republican patty is now seek ing to debauch the South through Taft. If the Republicans will throw down and abandon once for all their efforts to compel the South to recog nize the joint equality of the Cauca sian and African by repealing the fif teenth amendment, we can vhen have control of our State affairs and can then train them to make better citi zens and aid In that ‘uplift’ which Taft is so anxious to see brought about.
