THE D ANBURY REPGK I ER. VOLUME XXXIII. ' "TIMOTHY" WRITES AGAIN. | Offers More Argument To Show That The Negro Has No Soul. f (OONTINI'ED FKOM LAST WEEK.) fcff-ffpriug, by whites into the family of man, as "lower races" whom it is our Christian duty to - educate and christianize; and to Assist them in their abortion at tempt ti) accomplish this itiiqui ; sous desjgn they organized that tnost damable of all human socie ties, "The foreign missionary so ciety." Theso modern sectarians realize that no intelligent man or woman could be induced to believe that the white with his exalted physical and mental characters, and the • genuine negroes, are the progeny 40f our primitive pair, and inas much as God created our first pa rents the sole representatives of the ttosh of man, it follows, that if the genuine negro with his ape like characters, is not the des cendent of Adam and Eve, he does not belong to tlesh of man, and being a land animal he necessarily belongs to the tlesh of beasts. Mr. Carroll shows in his books that this theory that man is a apecies of ape, that is composed of different races of men, is trace able 4 book thousands of years, through Greek literature and the jwcred registers of ancient Egypt, to the lost continent of Atlantis. The acts and utterances of our Baviour and His disciples wore recorded in the Greek language, and later translated into the English New Testamont. But what of tlie Greeks? were they the worshipers of the one and only one God? Were they believers iu the | Bible? Not at all; they worship ed many Gods, both male and female; they wore not believers in the Bible; they were infidels; they were thoroughly Committed to the theory that man is "a species of ape" composed of "races of men;" Anaxinmnder one of their infidel philosophers, taught that "man djesci-nded from fish—like anoestora," just as our atheists do. A« "Dog -Killer" has shown the Greeks used the terms "genea," '•genoa" and "ethuos," very loose ly to apply to a nation, a political body of men, or to a so-called "race of men," which might in clndo many separate nations or politioal organizations ~f men, as the so-caiied Caucasian raco in Europe does. After the death of the apostles, the followers of the Saviour were united in the Catholic church, whioh soon became a mere politi cal organization aiming at politi oal supremacy, which it attained in Europe by blood-shed, oppress ion, and crimes horrible to con template. In order to increase its membership and thus increase its wealth and power, the catholics abandoneded the teachings of the Bible, and accepted the atheistic theory that man is a "species" of ape, composed of ! 'races of men" and at once took the negro and the mixod-hloods in to the Catholic church, as "lower races." This false theory which drags the white down to the level of the black, was s>s tunatically taught by the church to its priesthood and by theso to the laity thromghout the "Dark Ages," ami becaußO it was the church, theory, excomunication and death by torture would havo boon meted out NJ the Individual who would oppose it just as death at tlrti Htake was mete 1 out to Brans, who taught that the earth ia a globe, in opposition to the church theory of that day that the earth is a plane, Martin Luther was a-catholic priest, who, like all catholic priest, was taught this theory, and ac E cepting it, regarded the negro and the mixed-bloods as "lower races Kof men," wno wore fit subjects of. salvation Ileuoe, when he and . his followers led off from tho Catholic church in a movement which resulted in Protestantism, ho took this atheistic theory, and with it, the negro and mixed bloods into the Protestant church where it has since remained, a fundamantal tenets of the of tho Protestant, as it is of tho Catholic church. No investigation as to the origu of this atheistic theory nor of its pernicious results, was made by any modern writer, until Carroll did it, and exposed its gross materialism and its opposi tion to monothuism, that most ancient and sublime religious faith which Cod crowned our first parents in Eden=»the belief in tho one God only, the creator of all things, tho rewarder of the good and the punisher of the wicked. Neither was nny investigation made of the origin and status of the negro aud mixed-bloods, and their relation to tho whites; like the theory that man is a "species" [composed of differont ' races/' the negro and the mixed-bloods were received from the Catholic church in absolute faith, when the corrupt organization from which {.hey were received, should in itself have aroused suspicion. But, on the contrary, Protestantism, side by side with its corrupt parents Catholicism, has come trudging down the centuries, with its arms full of negroes and mixed-bloods, and sweeping all before theiu into the cess-pool of amalgamation. Cartright, Ariel, and others insist, ed tliat the genuine negro is an ayS, but their protests were un h6eded; later, Carroll proved that the Bible gave a penpjeture of the genuine negro, and his authentic name, the "beast of the field;" and that the other so-called "lower races" were gimply the off-spring of amalgamation between the whites and negroes of ancient times. The false deceptive, theory that mau is a species divisible into races, that has come down to us from a remote antiquity, through Paganism, and Catholicism to Protestantism, has been universal ly taught by proposed Christians for many centuries; as a result, all our Lexicographers, those who write our dictionaries of every kind, accept this theory and givo it a place in their works; and they unfortunately confuse ths scienti fic term "raco" with tho purely political term "nation." This disposition to confuse the scienti fic term "race" with the political term "nations," is arousing the protests of scientists. The emin ent scientist Dr. Paul Topinard whom the Bibliotheque des sciences couteinporaines appoint ed to tho groat task of writing a popular work on Anthropology, says: "The most important classi fications of the human races have as their basis physical characters, such as the nature of the hair and the color of the skin.—'But beyond that the ethnograpical point of view is alone apparent, and the use of the word race is most un fortunate. We spoak of Anglo— Germanic and Latin races, of German, English, Slave races, as if these epithets had anything more than a po'itical signification. —ln France, where the nation is so homogenous and complete, we liaye the French people but not tho French race. "(Anthropology p. 443.)" Thus Dr. Topinard, speaking with the authority of one of tho leading, scientific societies of Europe protests against the con fusion of the scientific term races being applied to a purely political body of men, such as the English German, French, etc,, and says it is unfortunate. Why is it "un fortunate"? Because it is a false unwarranted use of the term "race," and is misleading. (CONTINUED NEXT WEEK.) DANBURY, N. C., JULY 12, 1906. POLITICAL CLAPTRAP, MOTCh= SCOTCH AND HOI=POLLOI. SOURWOOI) FLINT-TIPPED ARROWS, FROM A WOODMAN UP A TREE. Suntieck, near Moore's Springs. July 7, 19CX). Mr. Editor : I note with swelling prido that a new campaign is on, and we shall soon be revelling in all the blandishments of patronage smoking old Virginia cheroots and drinking corn "likkor" to beat snakos. My hand has already more than once been grasped in that cordial handshake which betokens that a sincere and sudden interest has been developed in my health, and in that of my "folks." Why, they'll cross the road it) the mud to get to you. it certainly makes one feel awfully important. By the way, that was a rousing convention the Democrats had over at Danbvjry the other day, wasn't it ? I am informed that by actual count there were five present—John Humphreys, Dr. Ellington, Gene Pepper and the Messrs Pulliam, of Yadkiu town ship. The last-named were in town on other businoss, and just happened in. A resolution was passed to frame ways and moans to find the Democratic party, and Dr. EUington as coroner ex officio held a postmortem on the vacuum. The Republicans say that their convention on the Monday follow ing was large, enthusiastic and harmonious, and on investigation I find that there really was a crowd in town that day, about 124 in number, with missions as fol lows: To collect claims from com- . missioners 37 To collect claims from school board 12 To see the pension board 9 To swap horses 0 Candidates for Treasuror (51 Total 124 I am informed that I. M. Gor don says he will not be a candi date again this fall. Guess he's looking for bigger game. Now lot the Republicans put out John Henry Fagg and the Democrats W. W. King, and you'll see some fun. The campaign of Vance and Settle will fade into opaque and uninteresting history, and John Robinson's circus won't be in it. Well, for foar of that "horrible waste basket" whoso vision haunts my brain, making each separate hair stand on end, I'll close, promising to come again if I see this in print. Yours as ever, PICKET.

THE FOURTH AT GERMANTON. About SI,OOO Raised For the Estab lishment of a High School—Prof. Gus Reich Amused the Crowd. Gernmnton, July 5. Nut with j standing tho inclement weather of | yesterday morning quite it large | crowd gathered to celebrate the ; j "glorious fourth." Tho music WHS furnished liy the ICenterville band, which added | much to the enjoymeni of the oc ! oasion. The speaker of the day was ; I'ffof. E.

Reich, the "Wizard of Blue Ridge,' 1 of Salem, mystified the minds of the spectators by the ( , exhibition of his sleight of hand ; snow. Children's Day At King. Mr. Editor ; I feel like I must say a word in j regard to the Children's Day j service at Trinity church at King j last Sunday. In the first plaoe it j was a success in every respect, j |To an observant person it was j evident that tho children were i i both interested and enthusiastic in their respective parts. The I j church was modestly decorated | with laurel, ferns and roses. Thore j | was a large congregation present, j | the church being packed and ovor-1 | flowing. It was an ideal summer; | day, bright and sunny, just like ] j the faces of the little boys and girls as they field up and down 1 |to render their recitations, songs and exercises. Doubtless those pieces memor , t/.ed by the children will live long |in their memory, and will yield a part in moulding thoir characters I even down to "wee Reba." They I all did well and Miss Lillio Golf 1 deserves much credit for training thein sufficiently. The music was renderod most charmingly by Miss j Martha (iotT, who presided at the .organ. It is both inspiring and ] helpful to have tho pleasure of I attending such a service. Awake! awake! other Sunday! Schools, bestir yourselves and give us another such day. AN OBSERVER. Judge Jones Asked ty Take Prisoners Away From Rockingham. Judge Jones wau asked by par-j ties living in tho eastern part of i this county to make an order tak-1 ; ing all Stokes prisoners now at j work on the Rockingham roads away from Rockingham and turn | them over to Forsyth on account of the persistent refusal of the j Rockingham authorities to have i worked the roads leading to the Stokes county lino. This is a, well grounded complaint against Rockingham, and we hope the judge will act favorably on the petition. MO. Mr. P. H. Young, of Sandy Ridge Route 1, was here on busi-1 | ness Saturday.
