California Still in Doubt.
Los Angeles, Nov. 18. The
first test in court of the
presidential vote in Los
Angeles County upon the
outcome of which hangs the
political complexion of Caii
fornia's delegation' to the
electoral college came - up
here today in mandamus pro
ceedings.
v The issue was the vote in
electors received a 'plurality
of more than 1,000 votes
which the Democrats declare
should be thrown out be
cause the board of supervisors
opened the. sealed envelopes
containing the tally sheets
and corrected them prior to
the day set by law for the of-J
ficial canvass.
The supervisors 1 do not
deny that the envelopes were
opened and corrections made
but they assert that the re
turns proper were not tam
pered with.
While the Democrats won
one point, that of j urisdictiou,
Justice Allen postponed the
case until later.
Business People Leave.
Quite a number of business
people and citizens of the
county are leaving Salisbury
and the county for som
reason. Only last Saturday
night E S. Sam pson, v sales
manager of the Leland Com

granite finishing plant in
this city, left for New York
where he will in the future
conduct the sales department
of that company. He carried
Lwith him the two assistants
who were with him in the
office here. It seems a pity
our organized boosters ata
powerless to prevent this
exodus.

A New Baptist Bible for The Baptists.
Philadelphia, Nov. 18 jWhat
is regarded as a mostfradical ver
sion of the Holy Bible was placed
on sale heretoda? at the Ameri
can Baptist Publ:cation society
roomi It is a Baptist Bible for
Baptists only, aud muoh of the
old text has been entirely changed.
In that portion of the New Testa
ment whore the conversation of the
Savior is described in place of us
ing the Greek "baptise" the liter
al translation "immerse" is used,
so as to conform with Baptist
teachings that Christ went down
into the water for the baptism.
All the arohaio for us of the
King James and Revis?d Vtrsions
have been entirely eliminated.
The new BiHe is called the "Im
proved Version, and is distinctly
diffareut from the old Scriptures.
Practically no other church but
the Baptist will be abU t) use it,
because it interprets the Scrip
tures to mean solely whit the Bap

coughs and colds, also my brother
of a severe cold in his chest and

WHALARE WE TO EXPECT?
Unlrmlty is a RicU Man's; Collage and

fobs ibe Poor of Air Equal wanes.
The election has come nd gone,
the ballots have' beeti counted
and the reports have, been made
From these reports "we;,l8arnthat
the Democrats take charge of the
niticna'. as wellt as retain the
Stat an an s.
In tho State we expect no im
prove men ts iu the) way " f legis
lation. Our StatelawiTjare not re
spected, in fact , we fthink they
were not made to fee kept. If al
of them were kept there weuld
be much trouble, for. in many
cases there are conflicting laws.
The truth of the 'matter is, about
every time a law ie tinkered with
it is madi worse, Our public
school law f :r instance is nothing
but a bundle of contradictions. A
concrete example of thifl it, where
the 'aw says in regard to, the for
mation of new school districts, no
district shall be made with Jess
than 65 soholan, npr another ieft
with less than that number. Now
in one county, we knowr of three
instances where tne- law nag oeen

ail shall have equal advantages.
There is not a citizen to be found

ny t&3 iact mat were is qib-
crimination in the disbursement
of school funds. In the way of
giving teachers certificates there
is discrimination. In-1 paying of
techerB salaries there is discrimi
nation. For instance, a Soperin-t-adeut's
or a sohool boardmau's
daughter should not have better
pa than the daughter .with equal
or superior oaaiineatiouB ot tne
numblescitueu of the county.
The establishment of State

tire the p6orest,m belping them
up, Is the order of tfie day. ThiB"
is not "equal rights to all, and
special privileg s to none, this
not giving a "square deal" to
every man. Tnis is net encourag
ing universal popular education.
Appropriating large sunos to the
State Uuiversity, and maintain-
ug there an ius itution at public
expense, doing college worK, in
direct opposition to the Oharch
schools of the State is a menace
to the denominational iLstitutions
We are not opposed to the State
maintaining a University in the
sfcriot sense -of the term, to do
University wort, nut we are un-x
alterably opposed to taking
th? children's money and giving
$$00 per annum to one who can
attend the University and only
$1.50 to the child who must be
satisfied with the very poor free
school .
Aain, ah extra tax is laid on
the citizens of the rural districts
to purchase an almost new set of
bjoks selected by individuals
whom we believe to be prompt
ed in their choice of books not by
tbe txsellent qualities of those
selected, but for some other reas
on. New books? Yes we believe
that re must keep up with the
t:mei in books, as well.as improv
ed machit ery, but we want to
get them as we get machinery,
the very best for the least price.
Now as to the books, we desire
to say further, that while the
State educational department has
presumed to select the books,
they have failed to make proper
arrangements for the satisfactory
distribution of them. Many peo
pie think that tbe local booksel
ler is making a big profit on the
books. He makes 10 per cent,, on
what money he takes in, nothing
when he exchanges for the ex
change. Now this 10 per cont. but
little more than pays the freight
or express. These books must be
ordered from six or eight differ
ent publishing houses. When one
of the kiuds of books exhausts,
there is nothing to do but' send in
a rush order by express for the
short, on this lot the. book man
loses money. When the school
season is over no more school
books wanted until next season.

Lexington Baptists Expel Former Pastor J
T Jeokios
Lexington, , Nov. "14. At the
regular monthly business meeting
of the, Lexington Baptist Church
last night,- former Pastor John
Thomas Jenkins Was expelled from
church membership, after being
denied a letter of dismissal, for
which he had applied. The ac
tion of thchurchbrings to light
a sensational story that has been
kept; pretty well under cover or
the past three or four months.
Mr. Jeukins resigned his pastor
ae here very suddenly last July
and has .since moved to Kansas
City, Mo. Letters of dismissal
had been granted to members of
his family who had belouged to
the local church, bus his!own re
quest for a letter had been denied
once or twice, owing to the fact
that he was notconsidered iu go'C
standing with this church.
The cause of Mr. Jenkins' undo
ing, it is alleged, was a lette.
written by him to a young wo
man in New York City. Thi
etter was improperly addressed
and could not be delivered
Bari:;g no return card it was sent
to'tbe:dead letter offhe. Exam
ination there revealed no nn c r
sender, but it happened that M:
Jenkins had enclosed inthn letter
to the woman a letter from one of
the Baptist leaders of the State,
commending bis work here The
dead letter offiioe forwarded -the
etter to this Baptist leader and
in tnis way tne information
reached the members of the local.
church. He was summon'sd' be-
ore a body of Baptist members iu
Raleigh last June, charged with
bis wrong-doing and rcqited
hot only tolgive up his work bf
but to quit. the Baptist ministry.
This he agreed to do and his re
iguation followed. At the tis?-3
comparatively few of bis members
knew of w and all were asioB'oded
when the revelation came.
The vote last night on his ex-
pulsion was five to one in favor of
it and shows beyond doubt the
fueling of tbe church toward their
former leader.
. B. Sberrill for Concord Postmastershlp.
Concord, Nov. 15, Since
the election of a Democratic
President there has been
much speculation here as to
who would be a candidate
for postmaster at the local
postoffice. No announcement
has been made by any candK
date but for the past several
days the triends of J. B. Slier
rill, editor ot The Concord
Daily Tribune and Concord
Times, have been advocating
his candidacy. Mr. Sherrill
has made no announcement
that he will make an effort to
secure the plum but it is
generally understood that he
will be a candidate. Mr.
Shirrill was postmaster here
under Cleveland's second ad
ministration. dead oapital. There is here a mat
ter of several hundred dollars with
no interest. Don't jump on your
bookseller for any shortage or
change of books there may be.
He can't help it. The truth of the
matter is he is simply keeping
books for accommodation. Now
all this should be different. The
State should arrange with the sev
eral publishers to have a deposi
tory in each county in, the Statb,
and it would not be too much to
pay the man who will bother wif h
the 10 per cent., the books left
being the stcck or property of
the publishers.
What shalJ we expect with ref
erence to taxs? Will they be re
duoed or raised? Shall we expect
better times or worse times than
we have? These are questions of
great. importance, and questions
that interest every one. Let us
not expect too much. Radical
ohaLges would not be conducive
to the. well being of the, people.
But certain changes we do look
for. Albemarle Ohonicle.
