HV HO WA KD KIKL.DINO.
The very excellent woman who was
cook in iny father's household was af
flicted with a actiouu impairment of
vision in the last years of her service.
1 remember how she used to take a big
pinch of salt and wave it over a roast
of meat with the mistaken notion that
she was dropping a little hete and
there. Then she would suddenly open
her hand and all the salt would fall in
one place. It is thus that blind fate
seasons our lives with the condiment
of adventure. As a rule we get it in
a lump!
This philosophical reflection is sug
gested by tho recent remarkable expe
rience of a young friend of mine. She
is a charming girl, blond, petite ami
graceful and possessed of a very prom
ising voice, for tho cultivation of which
she came to the city. She took up her
abode in a genteel boarding house
where some friends of hers were living,
and everything was very ordinary ami
commonplace. Her early life had run
as quiet as tho brooks mentioned by
BpartOOUS, the gladiator, and there was
no reason to suppose that it would not
continue to do 30.
She had been to the theater with her J
friends and bad had a bit of supper ,
and was homo again a little after mid
night. As she entered the dark room
tho. moon peeped in through the win
dow at her. It was a thin, silver cres
cent and it looked very nice up there
in tho sky. Edith threw a couple of
cushions on the door by tho window
and Bat thoro gazing out at tho heavens.
There wns nothing especially romantic
about it?the moon and the stars were
pretty; that was all.
How long she sat there she docs not
know. She was suddenly startled by
the opening and closing of a door.
The key turned in tho lock, and then
she heard the ring of it as it fell to the i
lioor.
Facing about she saw tho dark tig
ure of a man by tho door. The form
was barely distinguishable in the
gloom. Edith tried to scream, but,
greatly to her surprise, her voice
wouldn't serve her; it seemed to be
cogged liko one's limbs in a nightmare.
This was surprise, not fear.
The intruder heard her, howovoi.
He had been standing in a stooping
position, with his ear against the door,
but he sprang away from it and faced
her at tho sound of her choked cry.
"You keep still 1" he said in a voice
so monstrously hoarse and rough that
Bho knew it must be assumed. "It*
you make a noise, I'll kill you I"
There was just light enough for her to
see a shining object in the hand that
was outstretched toward her.
tidith was brave; most people are
who have been guarded from alarms
during their youth. What she lacked
was not courage, but experience.
Courage said: "Keep cool. Don't
make a fuss. Ho won't hurt you."
Experience would have said: "Yell ! "
Yell liko a scared elephant I It's the
only chance you've got I"
"What do you want f" she demand
ed. "What are you doing here ?"
"Keep still I" he said in a growling
whisper.
Edith kept still. It seemed to her
that there had never been any
such stillucs8 before. The house was
like a tomb, and the whole city out
side was listening and forgot to mur
mur.
"I must think, I must think," the
girl was saying to herself, but she
couldn't think. She knew that this
man was a burglar, but all her other
ideas weut whirling round and round
in absurd eon fusion.
There was a sound of steps in the
hall. Tho door of the large room at
the rear end on tho same door was
opened. Edith had never seen tho
lodger there, but she knew the room
was occupied by a man. She opened
her mouth to scream.
Now, the burglar, being an expe
rienced person, knew perfectly well
that this impulse would seize her at
that moment. He knew also that if
he sprang upon her her voice would
be released from her throat. Instead
he merely thrust his revolver close to
her face. The sudden clear view of
this object has almost a hypnotic In
fluence. Instead of screaming she
started back with a gusp and threw up
her hands as if to waid off a bullet.
"I ain't goin' to hurt you," growled
the man. "I'm goin' to stay here
about two minutes, and then I'm goin'
to skip. Don't you yell aficr I'm
gone, because if you do I'll come back
and fix you for it. Have you got any
money?"
"1 have only a few cents," she said,
and, greatly to her surprise, he seem
ed to know that she was telling the
truth.
"Gimme that watch," he continued,
and, with wild rage in her heart, min
gled with contempt of herself for yield
ing, she gave him the diamond stud
ded trinket that was her most cherished
possession.
How he knew that she had a watch
was a mystery to hor, oven in that
moment. Poor child I She had clutch
ed at it in tho bosom of her dress the
instant he had asked her for her money.
Ho took it in his hand, and then
somo sudden change seemed to come
over him. Ho sprang hack to tho
door and put his head against it for a
moment. Then, with frantic haste,
he began to feel around on the floor
for the koy. He seemed not to pay
any attention to her, and this was so
surprising that she forgot to cry out,
though she could have done it in safety.
She saw that he was fumbling in his
pockots. Then he tried the door with
out any attempt to do so quietly. It
rattled under his hand, hut it was
heavy and strong.
"Get matches l" he called over his
shouldor to her. "Light a match aud
hold it down here on the lloor."
She was more than willing to help
hi in get out oven though he hrd her
watch, and she ran toward him, fancy
ing that she knew where the key had
fallen. In that instant she realised
what was in his mind.
As sh? runic, forward a strong aud
acrid blast Struck Oer in tho face.
Smoko was whirling in around the door.
A sudden and awful cry arose from
tho lower part of the houso.
"There ain't any lire oscape on this
houso 1" said the man in a tone thai
would have frightened an iron image,
it was so full of terror. "We're locked
in 1" Wo'ro dono for 1"
lie shoved the door once more and
then groveled on the door seeking the
key. lie was talking to himself. His
voice had taken on a different tone.
"I must have set it afire with thoso
matches in tho basement," ho said.
"Unless tho firemen get us wo aro
gone 1"
Edith was on the floor by this time,
groping about as madly as he was.
And that is her last memory of the
scene.
Confused and vague impressions
succeoded the actual recollection. She
seemed to be clutched by some crea
ture of enormous strength, to be drag-'
ged over rough placets and then up, up
in the dark, where theie was no air.
There was the sound ol* florce blown
struck upon sonic resounding substance
and suddenly a sense of pcaco and j
safety. It seemed as if she were lying
in a Held at home where she used to
play. There was no more danger or
trouble. She would have been happy
lying there but for the strange pain in
her throat, happy and content to lie
there lookiug up at the stars. The
slats ? Why, to bo sure ! There they I
were, blinking down at her, and she
was not in that tield, but on the roof
of a house. Someone was crouching
beside her and holding her head on
his arm.
?'You're alright, now," he said.
"We came up through the scuttle. I'll
tell you it was a hard fight. Hut don't
you worry. Here's your watch. 1 pick
ed it up oil' the tloor."
He propped her against some small
structure on the roof and put the watch
in tier lap. She could see bis face clear
ly. It was a dark, handsome, manly
countenance. T?c voice was no long
er rough; it was of a deep register, but
soft and sympathetic in lone.
"You risked your life lo save me !"
die cried.
"Well, I couldn't leave you there in
n dead faint, you know," he respond
ed almost apologetically. "There are
some things that a fellow simply can't
do."
"1 don't sec how you cau do any
thing that isn't right," she said. -'You
don't look capable of it."
"You arc very flattering," lie re
plied. "And now you won't be flight
ened if I leave you here alone? We're
quite a long way from the lire. I've
carried you over three or four roofs.
Ah, here come, some people."
A scuttle in the roof was lifted and a
man's head appeared. VJo climbed out,
another followed. There was quite a
parly, both men and womcu, who bad
come to watch the destruction of their
neighbor's property. The rescued
maiden appealed to their sympathies
and they all volunteered to accompany
her to tho street to look for her friends.
One of the men assured her that all
had escaped from the house and that
no one had been injured.
"I'm ^oiug to slip away," said her
rescuer tu her ear, "if you need me no
:?ngcr."
She stepped aside with him and
g'<ve him nor hand. It was a hard
situation and she could not Und the
words to mtitea it.
?We cannot talk now," she said, "I
cannot thank you as I would wish to.
Promiue me that you will give mo an
other opportunity?aud?and?tell me
your name."'
"Promise me that you wont men
tion it," he said earnestly. "There are
reasons"?
"Yes, I fully understand. 1 prom
ise."
?'My name is rather grewsome," said
he." "It's Graves?David Graves.
Don't tell on me, please. I couldn't
stand it to get mto the papers."
"You need have no fear that I will
betray you," she replied. "I feel in
regard to you more than I can say.
l'romiso me that you will let me sec
you again. My name is Edith Mason,
and?and I don't live anywhere now,
of course, but you can always address
mo at Burton's conservatory of music.
Indeed you can see me there. Prom
ise me you will."
"1 promise gladly," said he.
"And meanwhile," she continued,
"don't let anything drive you to?to
that again."
"To what?"
"Burglary," she whispered, (making.
"It must be some terrible need that
forces a man like you to such a life.
1 can help you. My family and my
friends will do anything for you if you
will let me tell the truth. 1 have no
money, a? I told you, but?but wou't
you take my watch? It was so good
of you to restore it to me. Take it and
soil it and pay your way until you and
1 can talk and come to some decision
about what you can do. J'lcasc, ploase
lake it I"
She thrust her treasure into his
hand. He sank back on the low party
wall dividing that roof from the
next.
"I'm afraid I don't quite understand,'
he said feebly. Are you sure you're
quite right in?in your mind ? Dread
ful shock, you know. Wouldn't you
better go down into this house and get
some rest ?"
"No, no; I am alright!" she cried.
"Don't hesitate to take the watch. I
really mean to give it to you."
"lint I couldn't take such a reward,"
he gaoped. "And as for money and do
ing things for me? Why, I'm not
poor. I'm quite well off."
"Then why?why did you do it?"
she whispered frantically.
"Do what?" he demanded.
"Why, what you did tonight I" she
gasped. "That awful trade I That
weapon !"
"My poor child," he said tenderly,
"tliis has been a great deal too much
for you, hasn't it? I can readily un
derstand how you're upset. But this
burglar business really is queer, you
know."
"You don't mean to deny," she
whispered, "that you broke into that
house and set it afire by lighting
matches in tho basement and held a
pistol in my face"?
"Did?did somebody do that ?" he
exclaimed.
"Don't 1 Don't speak so loud 1
Denial is useless and"?
"Miss Mason," he said very gently,
"I am? or was?your neighbor. I
had the room hack of yours in that
house I had just come in when the
lire broko out. 1 ran into the hall.
Your door was open. I saw?and oh,
thank heaven that I saw it?tho while
of your dress upon the floor with
in. You had fainted. In picking you
up in my arms I found your watch
lying hosido you. The flairs wero im
passable. Somehow wc got to the
roof. I don't know any more about
it."
She look both his hands by a sudden
impulse nnd looked into his face.
Then she laughed witti shoor nervous
ness perhaps or with joy that thin man
to whom sho owed so much was not
what sho had thought him.
"How can I thank you? How can
I boa vour nardon ?"
"Easily, easily," said he. "Just
don't mention my name, 'i he con
founded papers would write me up as
a hero. I have a moro than mortal
horror of that fate. Just lot's keep it
for our secret, please. Aa for th inks,

"And not bo domed."

OP Ai'POHTIONMKNT.
Kxireme lit public-ant* Want to Cut
Down Representation to Actual
Vote C'ftHt.
Mr. Wm. 10. Curtis, tho most noted
newspaper correspondent in Washing
gton, In discussing tho roapportlon
monl In Congress, writes as follows:
Tho fourteenth amcudmuut to tho
constitution of tho United Stati s pro
vides that representatives in Congress
shall ho apportioned among tho States
I according to their respective numbers,
counting tho whole number of persons
'in each State, excluding Indians not
taxed ; at when tho right to vote at
any election, etc., Is denied to any of
the male inhabitants of such State,
etc., or in any way abridged, etc., tho
basis of representation shall be reduc
ed in tho proportion which tho numb.T
of such male olt'/ona shall boar to tho
whole number of male citizens Ul yoar>
of age in each State.
The oonaus roturus, which hio now
being computed, will show tbo number
of rualo citizons In each State. The
returns from tho rocent elections in
Virginia, North Carolina, South Caro
lina, Mississippi and other of the South
ern States which have disfranchised
tho colored population will shew tho
number allowed to voto. If a ditferont
basis of calculation lu desired, tho cen
sus roturuB will glvo tho numbor of
illiterates In oach State. Several of
tho Southern States, lu order to pro
hibit nogroos from votlug, have estab
lished an oducatlonal qualification.
Persons who caunot road and write
?ro not allowed to voto unless they
served lu the Coafodorato army or
tholr parents woro voters prior to tho
adoption of tho fifteenth amoudmont.
That lots in tho " poor white trash."
An educational qualification prevails
In Massachusetts, Uhodo island and
perhaps some of tho othur States as
woll as In th" Soith, but wad adopted
for different roasons.
It Is dlracult to aoo how Congress can
ignore the fourteonth amendment in
preparing tho ruapportlonmcnt bill
which will be acted upon ut tiie next
session, and tho attention of Rjproson
tative Hopkins, who will ho chairman
of tho committee, la reapectfully di
rected to that Instrument. According
to tho constitution tho apportionment
must bo based upon tho population of
I tho different States, aftur deducting
the number of Illiterates that bavo
been disfranchised in Massachusetts,
South Carolina and olaowhere. If thie
Is not dono tho apportionment law may
bo set aside as void, If anybo ly will
tako tho trouble to bring tho matter
before tho supremo court.
Some of tho Republican loaders aro
conferring as lo tho propriety of apply
ing this constitutional provision to tho
Southern States, which would lose
about ono-thlrd and in somo cases one
half of their representation In Con
gress and In tho electoral colloge. If
tho vote of South Carolina, for exam
ple, is made a basis of apportionment,
that State will be entitled to one mem
ber of Congress, becauso the entire
number of ballots cast in the seven
Congressional districts did not exceed
tho number polled for some of tho
members from the Northern Statee.
Yet these seven South Carolina dis
tricts have seven tlmea aa much repre
sentation in Congress and the electoral
college as tho districts in the North.
If any one will tako the trouble to
look at tho returns ho will notice that
verj few Republican votes are ever
cast South of Tennessee and Missouri.
No canvass was made by the Uepubll*
cans this year in any of tho Gulf State?
or in South Carolina, Georgia or Ar
kansas. Tho reason for this was re
cently explained in the United States
Senate by Mr. Tlllman, who said " wo
cheatod thorn, wo bulldozod them, wo
sb H thom, and tlnally drove thorn
away from tho polls." Under tho Tlll
man systom, for example, Mr. Norton
of South Carolina, was olecteil to Con
gress by 1,765 votes to 151 for Mr.
Fvans, his opponont, while Mr. Cald
woil, of Illinois, received 23,2i*'l, against
21,053 for his opponent. Mr. Caldwell
alone rocolved noarly as many votes us
wore east for all tho sovon members of
Congrosd from South Carolina ot Miss
issippi. Mr. FOSS, Of Illinois, received
more.
An examination of tho returns from
South Carolina shows a singular uni
formity In the number of votes cast In
1 Si>S for live of tho seven members us
follows :
Dem. It-^p.
First district. 3 030 1,629
Second district. 4.073 1 22
Third district. 4.029 .132
Fourth district.. 4,407 1(35
Fifth district. 4 230 None
Sixth district. 1 705 151
Seventh district. 1,433 595
Totals.2(5.027 2,804
Mississippi furnishes a similar illus
tration. Tho largest number of votos
cast for any member of Congress from
that Slate was 4,943. fn ono district
the Hopublican candidate received 58,
In another 373, in another 142, in un
o'.hor 327 and in another 171, while in
two remaining districts no Itopublican
votes woro cast, at all.
The country districts of Illinois olTor
a good comparison :
Dom. lie p.
Eleventh district. 10 504 20 (S00
Twelfth district_.. 14.178 21,484
Thlrtoonth district... 14,977 20 035
Fourteenth district... 19,431 21,417
Flftoonth district. ... 20,901 21,143
Sixtoonth district. 21.082 17,021
Seventeenth district.. 23,293 21,053
Totals.,.131,02(1 143,268
Tho entire number of votes cast for
members of Congress in tho eoven dis
tricts of South Carolina was 28,8.'il, and
In tho soven districts of Mississippi
25,797, whilo In tho soven districts i.i
Illinois, whoro tho average is about
tho samo as through the Nonhorn
States, tho number of votes cast was
274,37?. Thus, In Illinois 274,37V votors
have sovon representatives, or an aver
age of one momber of Congress to 39,107
voters. In Mississippi there Is a repre
sentative for every 3.6M3 votors, and in
Sou,.i Carolina orn for every 4,119.
Tho average mi mhtr of OongroeB from
Illinois represents 10.000 inoro voters
than all tin seven representatives from
South C&rolloa or the seven from Miss
issippi combined.
Othor lessons can bo drawn from this
comparison I', it iquahy unjust for
tho Southern States to havo suuh an
oxcesslvo representation in tho elec
toral collogo and in the national con
ventions which nominate tho Presi
dent. If tho negro Is not to participate
In the government ho should not bo
ropresontod In Conpr? -s or in tho elec
toral collece. and in- >-e who prohibit
his partloipat ion ought not to enjoy
the advBM??'?- th? y receive by the
disfranchlsem .t.i of a part of their
population.
This is not e new qu< stion, but It will
eomo at the spproacl ing session of
Congress v*it>> more, force than ever
bofore. Some of luo Republican load
ers?and I understand that tho Presi
dent is among them?think It would
not be wlso to do anything that will
oxolto unfrlondly fooltng in tho South,
bocauso so many hudnoss mon In that
section aro leaving tho Democratio
party and coming over to the Republi
cans.

A correspondent of tho Chicago
Curoniolo was recently in Charlotte,
N. C, and wrote as follows concerning
the widow of Stonewall Jackson :
Mrs. Jackson is now ovor 7U years
old, and, though suffering ana sorrow
have added their traces to those of the
passing years, her face still retains
much of the fascination and beauty
which enthralled the tlieu awkward,
ditlident young military cadet from
Loxlngton when ho lirst met her as
Anna Morrison at tho homo of ?OD.
David Hill, tier black, luxuriant hair
has few traces of gray and her i>;..c'.<
eyes aro piercing and lustrous stl 1.
Since tho death of Mrs. Jackson's
only child, Mrs. Christian, Beveral
years ago, she has devoted her life to
her grandchildren, who reside with
her. Uor home is a plain two story
building on Trade street. To the mi- 1
I protect!jus dwelling, however, a piotu
I retquo charm Is given by ivy auJ
maucria vines climbing at will about
tho veranda, violet bordered walks
leading to tho hospitable doorway und
stately magnolias casting thoir luxu
riant foliage Over the whole. Within
Is then lined atmosphere of utypiiu'
Southern home. In tho drawing-room
tho most conspicuous objjct is a large
oil painting of General Jacksoc. Por
traits of other heroes whose mcutorius
aro still sacred In tho hearts of old
Confederates aro also hung cvory w hero

Hero tho widow of ono of the grout
military genlusoo of tho world has
passed i.er peaceful days, busied with
hor household dutlos or superintend
ing tho oducatlon of her grandchild
ren.
In h?r " Lifo of Jackson " sho said ;
"Tho homo of my girlhood wad a
largo, old-fatdiloucd houso, surrounded
by an extonBivo grovo of pine forost
trees, on a plantation in Lincoln County,
North Carolina. My father was Rev.
Dr. Hobort llall Morrison, tho first
prosldont of Davidson college. Ho
was a graduate of tho univr-slty of
tho State, and of tho saioo ca.a as
President James K. Polk, liithop
Greun and othors of noto in church ami
State.
Mrs. Jackson's mother was Mary
Graham, daughter of Gon. Joseph I
Graham of Revolutionary famo, aud
slstor of Gen. W. A. Graham, who was
onco secretary of tho navy.
Mrs. Jackson was one of tho ten chil
dren, six daughters and four sous. She
.?pent much of hor early lifo in Wash
ington with her ancle. Gon. Graham.
While on a visit to Lexington, Va.,
she mot her future husband, then
Prof. T. J. Jackson, whom sho married
In July, 1857. Gon. Jackson died In
18(53, May 10, and loft his widow and
one child, a girl, Julia, who was hut a
fow months old. Tho two and skillful
old nurso, Uotty, returned to tho Morri

tboy liven a quiet life until Julia was
ready toontor collogo, when tho moth
er and child moved to Cbarljtte.
After finishing school Julia married
W. E. Christian, a talented newspaper
man, now lu tho service of tho Sea
board Air Lino railroad at Portsmouth,
Va. Mrs. Jackson lived with the
young couple in St. Paul, Minn., Min
neapolis and othor western towns up
to 1889, when Mrs. Christian died,
after which she returned to her home
In Charlotte, and brought with her
Juliu and Jackson Christian, her grand
children. M ua Christian, sister of
Mrs. Jackson's son-in-law, euuij to live
with hor.
Mrs. Jackson was always an interest
ing poreou. Sho lived a quiet life,
among hor friends and relatives. Dar
ing this quiot and comparatively lone

lishing tho character of her husband,
especially as a legacy for her grand
children, who wero too young to re
member hoarlng from her own lips
tho reminlscouces of thoir hero grand
father.
It was by her closo application to
this writing, in addition to tbo almost
burdensome correspondence which her
position entailed upon her, that caused
tbo strain on tho nervos around the

fering and will bring death. She had
tbo nervos cut several years ago, but

Permanent RECORDS.?A subject
that has been attracting attention on

which, owiog to tho fact that many aro

aro Ukoly to disappear entirely In time.
In th<s respect anclont books and print

The quo?Jflnii of tho employ Die et of
oegroca ^^Southorn 001too mills bus
been tuJiro up by tho Induetrlai eom
missloJr before which Jiiiuu h. Orr,
presjmmt und treasurer of the Pied
mont Manufacturing Oompauy, south
Carolina, testified thai, as a rule, no
negro help was employed in the cot
ton mills except for mich labor us Is
placed upon scavengers, tin men, etc.
Mr Orr believes that preference should
be given to white labor as long as It
can bo got, because it has had a hard
time In the ioulh in competition wltb
negro labor, aud this is tho only
sphere, as It were, set r. ddc for Its
benelil. bo far as ho io eoncorned, ho
proposes to uso white labor whenever
he can do so to t- !vantage. N gro
labor was used in the S>uth for a Dum
ber o' yeara before tue war to a umitou
extent, ami a CttSO Id olted at tho late
Saluda mill, mar Uoiumbla, where
somo negro labor was uuip uyt d. Some
mills use negroes on the piokeru in the
plck?r room.
Mr. Orr did not uousldei it d<. .irablo
to mix tho race? in ihotr i mployment.
In the lirdt place, between the cia^t of
handd that work In ine mill and tho
negro laborer thuro le considerable j
fei ling, and, in tho second pla< o, tbo
social feature that It would bring about
would bo objeotionab'o. Tnls fooling
Is not carried to the same uxtont on
tho farnid nor lu the mines, as thero
tho labor consists principally of men,
wheroas In the cotton m?h there is a
largo number of women. Tho t( ndency
of colored labor in South Carolina is to
work for a less rate of wages man tho
whito, as they can llvoon very much
le-b, and tho effect is to hohl ilnwn
white- labor to a lower levol.
In tho matter of tho eolonis ttion of
tho negro, which has been advocated
by aomo of tho witnesses beforo tho
commission, the judgment of Mr. Orr
was that it would bo a great misfor
tune to tho South if any schomo of
colonization should bo carried out.
Negro laoor is tho beat for tho farm
that tho South can get. Negroes can
livo on leas and they can do more work
when properly treatod thao any other
olass of labor that tho South has. 15ut
for tho negro labor the South could
no* ltvo on tivo cent cotton, and In his
opinion woro It not for live cent cotton
tho South would not bo ablo to coutrol
tho cotton markets of tho world.
Mr. Orr beliovco that tho negro baa
retrograded in Intelligence In tho low

since tho control of the whites has
been removed?wb?ro they gather in
large boillos by themselves and whoro
they havo no association with tho

in tho building of mills aud ware

tlHtH ?ro Divldod ah to Whether
They Am ProtcHtuntH.
Ray. Ur. William H. Whitsitt, lute
president of the Southern Baptist Theo
logical Horalnary, mudo u notable ad
dress before tho Baptist Congress,
which has been in session ut Rich
mond, Vu., in which ho adhered to his
old position with reference to Baptist
history, which created ^ueh a contro
versy in the denomination, and his
utterances were oven bolder than here
tofore. Dr. Whltsitt s-aid :
" Southern Baptists are divided in
sentiment. One. party asserts that Bap*
tlsts uro not I'rotestants; the other as
serts that no man can be a Baptist ex
cept in name only, who is not also a
Protestant. To hoid and teach tho
doctrine of a universal spiritual church
which, only with respect of tho inter
nal work of the spiritual truth of
grace, may he called Invisible, is alike
a mark of Protestant and of Baptist
faith. To deny that doetrine Is under
stood tobe a mark of Romanism. Many
Southern Baptists deny that doetrine.
The doctrine that baptism is essential
to salvation appeared shortly after the
apostolic age, and brought in Its wake
a baptism of necessity, which, In all
ages, has been commoniy performed by
aspersion and effusion. It was not long
before tho distinctive principle of bap
tism began by this means to bo over
thrown. Tho last man who is shown to
have hold and practiced it was Manns,
who wroto a letter to Cyprian, of Car
thago, about the year 245, in which he
appoars to have advocatod the Baptist
contention. After that dato, though
many churches and parties hold and
practiced Immersion, no record has
ever yet been discovered of any who
hold and practiced that It Is essential
to baptism until the Baptists wero
restored In 1641. Furthermore his
toric testimony regarding tho ro-lntro
ductlon of Immersion in 1641, after the
rite had long been disused, was abun
dant, definite, circumstantial, consis
tent and quite a conclusive as tho
historic testimony that Napoljon the
Kirst was named B'nperor of Franco In
1804. It Is rejeoted by our Baptists < ho
arc not I'rotestants, but that is moroly
tho result of their substantially Cath
olic position."
Dr. Whltsitt declared : " So far as
present roeearch has gone, no Baptist
has been found between A. I). 245 and
1?41, yot tho exigencies of the Baptists
who aro not I'rotestants absolutely re
qulro that a chain of Baptists shall he
demonstrated to oxlst In tho actual
succession for ovory day of that pe
riod."

Ldt us movo right straight t\!ong und
keep In tho ml?dlu of tho road. All la
not lost save honor, nor will the North
dtiro to cut down our representation in
Congress--such a move woulu alienate
their new Southern converts, for
Southern Republicans aro at heart
all Ulywiiites and have uo use for the
negro in politics. Southern Republicans
have been under tho ban over since the
war, and they realize that it is because
they are alligned with the negro.
Captain Lowry is all right svhon he
says, " but for the negro in polities
the Republican party would have a
good chanco to capture and hold the
South." Tho captain Is a Republican
?a Tennesseean, a Georgian, a banker,
I and has traveled much, and his party
up North ouglit to give weight to his
opinions. Ue Is a gentleman, a man of
I integrity, and stands high In financial
circles all over the country. Financially
ho is a success ami liberal with his
money, but ho will not tako Carnegie's
advieo and give It all away before lie
dies. Tes, tho nigger is still in too
woud pile, and the jjko of It is the
nigger don't know it. There aro uot
a dozen negroes In this country who
care a straw about voting. If the white
ollieo seekers would let them alone
they wouldent go about tho polls on
election day. What is wanted i? to
purify the candidates. If this can be
done in Atlanta why not elsewhere?
Wo all rejoiced over tho election o!
Major Mlms, for ho ran for mayor as
a gentleman ami had no boelere, nor
would h<! ask any man lor his vote or
allow any corrupt jlootioneering by
his friends. Llo stubbornly refused to
promise anything to anybody, and.
strange to say, was oiected.
Hut tho Republican party 1? growing
very fast in this section, and will grow
into respectability if they will let the j
negroalono. Mr. Lowry is right. Some i
' years ago when wo had fullered a
' similar defeat my friond Newt Tumlin ]
I was greatly distressed, and told mo in
a whisper that there was only one way
j to got < ven with them, and that was to
jino 'cm. Woll, there are lots of folks
j.ning 'em around in those parts, and
.' i- hard to tell who is a Democrat
and who Is not. They teil m > that a
Democratic officeholder ami two of the
executive committee id this county
votu.l for McKinley and our neighboring
eouuty of 1'olk went for him by 50U
; majority. Maybe that i^. an evolution
that will stop the threaten.d i t-duetion
? of our representation, for our Republi
can friends don't want that to happen
any more thau we. do, and they will
lilo a protest and tight it.
What wo want at the. South is to
preserve our good name, our historic
honor and our traditions. A section
that has produced Washington, J< (Ter

' Hoik, as presidents, Clay and Calhoun
and Li'-o anil Stonewall Jackson and

Mrs. Salllc BYanalln, the only woman
weaver at Hath ciillun mtllB, who
caused the recent strike amongst the
weavers', WAS suen hy Tho State cor
respondent and asked for a statement
as to why hIjc refused to join tho
weavers' union. She replied in sub
stance as follows :
"My husband, .1. l\ Frank.in, joined
tho union soveral months ago and is
yet a member. Shortly after ho joined
1 was RSked by several members of the
order to join and after declining, wa
asked why I objected to beoomlug a
member. I told them that after -.o k
ing all day, when night eamo I did not
care to belong to any orJ:!r th i would J
require my attendance at n! ht, out.
preferred spending tno time at home 1
attending to my household dunes and
. resting, which wus my duty an I i>!v;
? logo and where, i considered, I and all
! other ladies belonged, hut they per?
j aisled, and would appoint committee;
! from tho order to wait on me ev rj
, week, urging mo to become a mo ml er
I of tho order. Notwithstanding re
1 poated refusals each time, the com
mittees continued to annoy mo until
two weeks ago when I told them pluln
: ly and emphatically that 1 would not
i under any consideration join tho ordor,
' fr i i whloh I eould never OXpOCt any
(benefit, and furthermore, that if tl
; reports that I board from time to time
wero true, their lodge was not a li or
, suitable plaeo for a lady to attend."
Tho union then appointed a com
\ mittee to wait on tho company and ask
; that Mrs. I'Va iWKn ba discharged, say
ing that an.ot. their request was
granted they would all stop tnolr looms
and walk out and not roturn as long as
sho remained an employe of the com
pany. The company did not dlfiohargo
tier and tho weavers walked out, and
after remaining out three dayn, called
on the carders and spinnors to Join
them These orders woro obeyed, Tho
oompany toll tho strikers that they
would allow them until Friday to re
turn to work and If thoy failed to do
tso they would shut down for two
months. After remaining out for a
week the strikers gave up tho fight
and returnod to work, with the under
standing that Mrs. Franklin was to
work 01. wlihntt further molestation.
About a dozen ol the promoters of tho
utrfke wer.- (M charged by the Com
pany, a id about tho same numbc- quit j
of their owu accord. Mrs. Franklin,
who la about thirty years of ago, and
has an Intol.lgont appearance, talkod
quite froely about, tho ooeurronco, bu\
she said that she could not understand
why her refusing to become a momber
