"TIMOTHY" WRITES AGAIN.
i
Offert More Argument To Show That j
The Negro Hat No Soul.
(CONTINUED FROM LAST WEEK.) ;
about it, the white sheep oould
not impart the nature of its white
fleece to its otf-spring by the
black sheep?—' Yet in view of
this immutable law, which holds
good throughout all the realms of
naturo, Mr. Carroll claim* that it
would be impossible for a white man
or a white woman to impart the
aoul principle to their off-spring
by a negro as he claims that the
aoul principle is lacking in the
uegro."
The only objection one could
urgo against the gentleman's illus
tration as above quoted is that it
fails to illustrate. Mr. Carroll in
aibtd in his books that under the
influence of the law of heredity
any physical or mental character
of the parents is transmittable to
their off spring. The whit# and
the black sheep are aheep— both
animals —and, as such, are com
binations of two of God's creations
—matter, and mind; and it isessen.
tial that they transmit this eombiu
ation of matter and mind to their
off-spring, else they could not re

It is illustration by laying special
itrsss on the naturo of the white
•heap and lUt of the bl»ck oi>e,
and the nature of their {Jeeoe,
when any teuryear-old fajrmer boy
could have told him that they
were both simply #h*ep Bud iden
tical in their natures; the same is
true of their mutual off.spring,
which might Itfrve a white fleeoe,
or a black fleece, or, a black and
white spotted fleece; but like its
parents, it is simply a combina
tion of matter aud mind, and
prtwntu in it« physical i>ud mental
prpqojspia j»lf thp charters of
parpftU, nape that of cplor. Then
if this white sheep and this blaok
sheep were killed and skinned,
and their carcases laid side by
side, none oould tell the white
sheep from the black one; the
•ame ii true of their mutual off-
uprfng} again i if we reifloye £hp
flush from the bony struotures of
tliese two sheep and lay their
skeletons side by side, no anta
tumist could tell the blaok sheep
from the white one; the same is
true of iUoir mutual off spring.
Then submit tl»« °f 'be
sheep and that of the blaok one to
the most rigid microecspic investi
gation, and no distinction between
their naturos would be discovered;
they are both simply wool. Theis
is true of the fleece of their
mutual off-spring. Will "Dog
ffil|er" have us believe that
no more distinctions exist between
whites and negroes in their physi
cal and mental characters than
exists between a white sheep and
a black one? "Dog-Killer" was
discussing the reproduction of the
|ot)l, something a sheep does not
possess, and to make his illustra
tion apply to his argument, he
should have given either the
white sheep or the blaok one a
soul; in this event we presume he
would have given it to the black
one. But he gave it to neither.
While "Dog-Killer's" illustra
tration fail to illustrate the point
he desired to make, it is not
Wholly without value as an illus
tration, sinco it clearly illustrates
the mental caliber of our would
be philoapher. If auy doubt of
this remains in the minds of our
readers, it must be removed by
the gentleman's further statement.
He says: "But if Mr. Carroll
could prove that the soul princi
" p|e is lacking iu the negro, (which
he oannot), we could stillsay (and
with as much propriety), that a
white sheep oould not impart of
ita white uature to its off-spring
by • bhjok sheep, juat because the
black sheep lias nothing of the
white nature about it, as to say
that a white man or a white wo
man cannot impart the soul prin
cipal to his or her child by a
negro, Iwcause the soul principle
is lacking in the negro."
The "anthropoid or man-like
apes" are the next grade of animal
below the genuine negro or "beast
of the fold," and in view of the
fact that no foreign missionaries
are sent into the jungles of Africa
and Asia to convert these anthro
poid* to Christianity, we infer that
the modern clergy have agreed
that the "soul principle" is lack
ing in these creations. To illustrate
the gentlemans statement as above
quoted, let na suppose that a man
associates himself sexually with a
female gorilla, and thnt their con-
tact results in the conception and
birth of an off-spriug that will
live, then according to "Dog-Kill
er," this off-spring of inni) and the
gorilla has a soul, and it at once
becomes the duty of every Chris
tian to extend to it "a helping
hand," and "contribute of their
means," to educate, christianize,
and fit it for a mansion beyond the
skies.
And this is the gentleman who
assures his readers that Carroll's
book "is almost anything else
than piblical, scientific, and com
mon sense in its arguments."
Mr. Carroll shows by the Bible
that "God created man in Hjs
own image," combined in him the
three creations, matter, mind, and
soul; the soul being a part of deity,
is peculiar to man, since it was
pot bestowed on the animals; this
at once elevated man to the lofty
dignity of a oreation, and estab
lished between God and man, the
close relationship of father and
son. This explains why Adam is
refered to in scripture as, "the son
of God." Thus man's possession
of the threp creations, matter,
tpiuil, and soul, made him a trinir
ty, corresponding to the Trinity of
heaven. While the animals, the
possessors of but two creations,
matter and mind, are a duality.
And all the great nations of anti
quity as well as the early Chris
tian Jfatherg, Qriyen ( Clement,
Titian and even the pagan philos
ophers of their day, recognised
man as a trinity. It remained for
modern sectarianism in the further
ance of its "race theory" and its
negroism, to attempt to drag man
from the lofty position in whfcji
tiod placed him as a trinity, reduce
him to a mere duality—a combin
ation of "matter, and mind or
soul" —and thus degrade him to
the low level of the brute.
Mr. Carroll shows by the Bible
that God treated the animals very
differently from the manner \u
which he treated man, by simply
commanding the earth to bring
them forth, after their kiud, not
in His image. Hence, there exists
between God and the animals only
such relationship as naturally ex
ists between the artist and the pro
duct of His art. God made thepj
but he is not akin to them; no
more kinship exists between God
and the animals than exists be
tween the sculptor and the statue
that he fashions. Had God desir
ed any kinship with the animals,
of which the genuine negro is a
part, he would have established it
in the creation; and the very fact
that Go} declined to do this, must
be accepted as proof positive, that
He desired no kinship with them,
and that none should exist. This
being true it follows that God in
in his infinite wisdom would for
see that inasmuch as the negro
■o nearly approaches mau in his
physical and mental organisms, it
was possible for mau in the grati
fication of his lust to beget off
spring by him which, as we see, is
indefinitly fertile; but this un

REVIVAL OF BRYANISM
SENATOR SIMMONS THINKS THE NEBRASKAN
THE LOGICAL CANDIDATE.
B|M*ctal from WashliiKton to Charlotte Observer
Senator Simmons, the official head of Jthe Democracy in the Old
North State by reason of his position as State chairman, is watching
with keen interest the rising tide that promises to make William
Jennings Bryan the Democratic nominee for President in l'.lfH. !n
fact, Mr. Simmops today declared himself in favor of Bryan and, like
Col. Watterson, entertains the while the very "liveliest and largest
hope." The North Carolina Senator looked with favor upon the
candidacy of .Judge Parker when the campaign cam*
ago, but today he authorized a statement of his belief that conditions
now point to the wisdom of nominating the Nebraskan. He says that
Bryan and Aycock would bo about the right thing, and he believes
that Mr. Bryan and North Carolina's former chief executive would
make a combination that would appeal powerfully to the country
A PORTRAYAL OF THE SITUATION
A political writor recently said; "With the Democratic national
convention two years off, Mr. Bryan, wrapped in contemplation of
Old World wonders, has stamped his party more effectively than he
did in IHiMi and liKX). Democracy now finds a truth in the old song
'Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder.' Democrats of half a dozen
States, Arkansas, Missouri, lowa, Indiana, Ohio and South Dakota,
have formally proclaimed him their choice tar the presidency iu I'JOS.
Wisconsin, Minnesota and New York and nearly all of the Southern
States are expected to fall in line in the Bryan procession.'' This,
perhaps, may be regarded as a true portrayal of the situation, as Ohio
has not formally declared for Mj. Bryan ; The Democrats of the
Buckeye State may be depended upon to do so, however.
HAVE CONFIDENCE IN BRYAN
Representative Charles A. Towne, who loft thp Republican party in
1890 to fojlow the Bryan banner, recently expressed the sentiments of
numerous Democrats it? Washington when he said: "The spontanei
ty and sincerity of the demand for Mr, Bryan's nomination in 1908
are only the natural sequences of the political history of the past ten
years. The people of United States want progress with safety and
reform with justice, They do not propose, in correcting the evils of
monopoly, to run the excesses of either socialism or benevolent des
potism. They have impliolt oonfldenoe in the self-poise, the courage,
the sinoerity, the honesty and the ability of Mr. Bryan. No man in
our political history has ever run the gauntlet of criticism and come
out of it with such increased prestige. I look upon his nomination
as already practically assured and upon his election as little less cer
tain. Much will depend upon the result of congressional elections
this fall. Should they give the Democrat party u majority in the
House, a task of the inmost difficulty will oonfront the legislative
loaders of that party. They would have the responsibility without
the power, and, under circumstances where false steps would be both
easy and costly. Should the Republicans carry the House by a narrow
margin, their task would be only less troublesome."

Mr. Editor :
As t have not wroto a letter to
the Reporter in a long time, I
thought I would write another one.
I wish to mention some things of
late that I have seen in the Re
porter that some of the Southern
people have been in regard qo(flo
Northern poople. The Houthernor
as a rule seems to overestimate
the Northerner too much. He takes
pride enough in himself. The
Northerner is not that way Wy the
people of the South, but they are
on the other hand, They want to
try to be smart and gay , tell of
their smartness and what thoy lmvo
done. As if there were not any
one else the gentlemen or the ladies
of the South pay too much atten
tion to the people of the North of
the Mason and Dixon lino. Make
them think they aro (he whole
works. That is where our South
ern friend makes his mistake, I
j want to say this right here, seeing
;is believing. Experience makes
j a good teacher. I have lived in
I the South, I have traveled tho
I North, I always find it that way.
Another thing I want to montjon
j that I have spen in print in speak
| ing of Rome, Mass. Boys, one
j correspondent from \\ alnut Cove
i Route 2, in speaking of Prqf. Jolly
I notice he says Prof. Jolly has
returned to Massacheusetts. I
guess the boys will have to smoke
cob pipes now instead of 5o Ha
vaunas. I want to My, kiud read
er, I thing Stokes oounty bjys are
just as able and as worthy of smok
ing 5c Havannas as Prof. Jolly or
any other New Englander. 1 also
think that the Stokes boys oijght
to be carefql how they make
suoh statements abont their home
county. Suppose Prof. -Jolly was
subscriber to tho Reporter and
u two years
see that statement, lie would laugh
rtul speak words of scjrn about it
and probably the people of the
Bouth; ah seeing is telieving.
You can't toll me anything about a
cold blooded Yankee. Also anoth
er correspondent speaking about
the Bolt boys, of FJolyoke, Mass.,
heing in their vioinity, like it was
any honor to speak of a cold
blooded Yankoe. The people that
believe in negro equality, a shame.
Wonder if my correspondents
noticed the statement in the
Atlanta Constitution of « few
weeks ago about the negroes
rnroing and pitching about being
on equality with white people at
the .Jamestown Exposition. Speak
ing of a negro Minister of Boston.
Speaking of the negro sure is to
be classed as malefactors and be
rejected of men. We might as
welj strike down the Shaw Monu
ment and put Robt. E. Lee's
Monument in its place, or strike
down the Goddess of Liberty and
substitute Jetf Davis' Monument
in its placo. They, as far as to
say that if a colored person want
to the Exposition they would not
bo treated decent and with respect
I by the white people, and before
the Mass. legislature voted her
#75,000 to help carry on the Ex
| poaition She ought to see that
| her oolored people are treated
1 decent by the white people of
Virginia, and the South all that
Arctic Explorer has to say. is this
: that tho State of Virginia is not
so poor. I don't think that she
J needs Mass. $75,000 to help carry
on the Exposition and also the
white people of Mass. was uphold
| ing this negro measure to accord
ing to the Constitution I have
! this to say if Mass. people loves
negroes that well she had better
keep her negroes at home and
COBALT IN STOKES.
Mr. Edison Finds it In Abundance in
North Carolina.
j While in Asheville Sunday, Mr.
IT. A. Edison, the scientist, who is
making a tour of the State in his
automobile, said: "If cobalt is as
plentiful in North Carolina as 1
believe it is, I will reduce the
weight of storage batteries in
automobiles fifty per cent, and the
cost of traffic in cities fifty five
per cent.''
Mr. Edison passed through
Madison a few weeks a ago on his
way to the south western part of
the estate. It is to be regretted
that some one did not direct his
attention to Stokes county, where
i minerals of all kinds exist. Cobalt
'is said to he found wherever
manganese exists, and this assures
the presence of the valuable!
i mineral in our county, for we
i have numbers of fine mangonese
i deposits.
There is a streek of cobalt run-;
j ning east of Nashville, of Tenn., j
into this State and Mr. Edison
says some of the richest beds he '
| has found have been in North
I Carolina.
lie found cobalt in Lincoln, |
; Gaston, Shelby and Jackson coun-,
, ties. In Jackson oounty there is
a large quantity of it, while the
I beds are valuable in the other
! counties, lie made assays of the
i mineral at many places and found
| the quality to be just what he had
been looking for
Big Debate Between Buck Island and
Muff.
Danbury, June 13. —The Muff
Debating Society challenged the
Buck Island Debating Society for
a joint debate. The question dis
cussed was "Which Would a Man
Risk Himself Fartherest For, the
Love of Women or For money."
The Buck Island boys took women
for tho affirmative leaving the
Mufl' boys with money as nega
tive. The orowd met at Bennett's
School House Saturday, June 9th.
At ti o'clock the house was called
to order by Mr. O. M. Bennett.
The speakers for the affirmative
were W. A. Nelson, Sam Fagg,
Rufus P. Mabe, (). M. Bennett
and J. M. Fagg. For Negative
were H. H. Reid, J. M. Mabe, J.
A. Stephens, Wesley Mabe and
W M. Mabe. There was a large
orowd in; attendance both ladies
and gentlemen and all seemed to
be interested in the discussion.
Tho question was very ably dis
cussed on both sides and the
judges were charged and sent to
themselves to decide. They were
not out long before they came in

there in Boston or some of her

of Arctic Explorer will meet the
approveal of most of the readers
of the Reporter or I hope so. At
last it comes natural for a Yankee
or any northerner to love a negro
so if they love them that well
they had better keep their impud

keep social equality with them.
There that custom goes in all
