C is in the city, and paid us a visit yester day morning. He informs us that the storm of Thursday, so noted here, was very severe m parts of bwain; and a short distance below Charleston was very destructive. The rain fell in floods, in termingled with hail which fell so heavily as to accumulate to some depth on the ground. The hail storms were from the aizs of a p'geon's to that of a guinea egg, cutting down the wheat and other small grain, and ruining corn and tobacco in tho track of the storm, for tunately a limited one. Much damage was done elsewhere by the washing of the land. Cesar's Head. See tho Summer advertisement in this issue.

Church Street Rev. W. W. Baye. morning services 11 a. m; evening ser vices 7 p. m , prayer meeting Wednes day eveniag 1 p- m , .Sunday Sciiool 0 a. m. in looking over the rules of the daily Citizen lor 1886 the same notice occurred in every issue 1 examined, and I Was told by one of the editors that the same form had been used through the en tire year The papers are toere .0 gpeak for themselves, and I ask every interest ed person to go and examine for them selves. Thoso who will takathe trouble to do bo will find that the M? E. Church, South, was advertised as the M.-.K L hnrv.h more than three hundrea? times in one newspaper during the year ISStt. The Town Topics is a. weekly papet published in ABlioville by a member of Bro. Bav Church. An api)iarto thJ files of this paper reveals the etnat this word South' has been hsJ3i.ua. ly left off in the advertisement of tbl ser vices of the M. E. Church Somh; indeed the 'burdensome' word did nofoeeenr in a single qopy of the incomplete file I, ex amined. In this case, as in the ot hers, I ask all interested parties (0 examine for themselves, and alsoeet the acknowl' edgment of the editor to the same fact, as I did! j In his last communication Dr -Bva., being compelled to Bcknowtahr. the truth of these statements, attempts to minify their importance hv uyinir that the leaving off of the woid NL.tii.TV' is' an 'error' a mere inadvertency productive ofnotvil. In his efforts, liDwevor. t clear himself aiid his church from all responsibility in connection with this "error" he pivesjiniuinlakalile evidence that he does see and feel its importance. To prove that he and his church are not responsible for the omission ff the word South he says: "The editors of all the Asheville paper mentioned 'atnve have made express statements in! the public prints that they and not thq At. 15. Church South were responsible for aw vrrora v this kind." Now cannotIr.: Buys see that this is simply begging the question, that it is a mere statement 'Without the least moral value or logical force? If these editors are kind enomih'to attempt to shield their pastor in this manner, it would have been 'rue manliness in their pastor not to have availed himself of this posed benefit unless he could nave madv it evident that neither he nor any of his members could posoiblv have corrected these "errors" durina the j'tyJrSnd more in which, they daily npp 'artj.ln the pub lie prints of JLsheviUp. ln bis extreme desiie to free himself from Uie weigtty responsibility of these crav- "errors," it doubtless has never occurred to Dr. Bays that the statements made by thcsieditois is of far more value to me than it ean under any thoughtful and en thai inter pretation be to hiiii. It ia a clear nc knowledement of the truth of mv stai- raent that the "word South is left bit" in the notices given of -th services rf the M. E Church, houtli, in Asheville, win e it does not in any important ; ae relieve Dr. Bays of the responsibility of tiiat vrrv significant omission. With these weak and ineffectual efforts to exilain away the importance of the "omission of the word South" in the Citizen and the Tdwn 'J opics, and;to clear himself of ail responsibility in the matter Dr Bayf assails mv testimony s produced fnun the files of the Advance with a l tlie more hope of success, but, alas! his failure here is, if poeeible even more complete. This part of my argument was intJie following language: The Advance, another daily paper published in the city cf Asheville, published no regular churctl notices dur- " ' .'. ." IFort.'-.j ing the year 18S0, but usually mentioned in ' the Sunday morning issue that the usual so! vices would be held at the var ious churches, frequently giving formal notices - of the services at Bro. Bays' cunrcn. in loosing over a part of the files of the Advance Aor tkt earJ83fi. I found twelve of these tpecud potices of services to be held at the M, E. Church, South, and in everv case the" word South was left off. In not asinglnhiPtauca did I eye tho word "Wouth" In connection with the many advertisement?" of the services of that church except mce in. a notice of a Woman's meeting which was signed by -a lady. Fur of these notices announced that visiting ministers tyould preach, two were notices - of Qmiilerly meeting services,, two of missionary services, and others were notices of weflioiseroiqns which Bro. Bays proposed to preach. I was told at trie oflice of the Advance that " Mr. Bays usually handed in" these special notices. I invite the people of Asheville to examine for themselves tosetf whether Or not these statements are true.. -- Now the way for Dr. Bays to-, have proven that this part of my argument was '"lulsse and unfair" was' to show. that s i .Iif)f h is' iihu rch tli? rd ..Si'itU' was not "omitted.1' But this he could not do for' the biuiplo fact that it was omitted, and. this is what he demanded that I yiove, and this is what I did orovo. His effort to show that my argument is nufaic and therefore false,by Faying that the word "Episcopal is left out" also, is a striking illustration of the fact that "a drowning man will catch at a straw." It is another most pitiable case of begging the question. If the leaving out of the word "Episcopal" means the same thing as 'putting ihe word "South" on,, Iticu is thore; sense and reason in Dr. BayV iirgn ment and mine: if '"false ami "unfair." His church is n more the "Methodist Church" than it is tho 'Methodiht Epis copal Church." The committing ot one error can nevr rectify another. Logic and ethicsaro not children's play things. The editors oljthe Advance recognizes the force and fairness of my argument and in their attempt to shield Dr. Bays f:om any blaino that nnaht be attached to the omission of the word South from the no tices given of his church services m their columns, ilmply state without making any mention of. the word 'Episcopal" that "it was a simple, innocent inadver tency, or omission on our part alone, and with no intention to mislead auy one or do injustice toany one " Now why does not iffiuP3Y.gabute these innocent editors fou"r """""'"'ion in their explaua U -Hiat the word 'Epis- sfl deserve the y as given, do ?se is exactly Veason and iiiuuutau ,or I haewro . 1 1 action than jj tue Advance actually found name' of Ida ao.can show me. vws 1. hat "insfande" I .nini froii. lie same files to us in which las-church is cah- Church without any South, .1 Vya asks, "But why did Bro.

I do know, however, that it wasijrhed some weeks before it appeared iiirviiit. I know also. .tlfaVjt was finialied before I ever noticed that the erroneous manner of .adver tising ha sPtvices of Dr. Bays' chrcb -i TownlTo d Tieen changed. The ruitc did notxhanKe-Tirftu the issiiuilf Jan. SO, and the Citizen. left the lame advertisement out for the first time in its msue of Jan. 319. Wheh the Ad began to insert the word "South" I cahoot say, as I seldomjee the daily'is sue of that paper. From these, facts it will be clearly seen that the falsi advfr tUoment vis going on at the ''vm-y time" iiy at tide. was being written. But why d"vi Dr, avs "lav bo much stifews" on Ui; precnt when I am to make out a case of "hubiluar '-advertisement? This, as any thoughtful person knows, cannot bo done oy' looking at the very last issue of 1 ho paper, but a reasonable length of ii.ne,mii8t bo considered ,fime being nec essary to the formation of a habit. For thiJ -reason I took a whole year running, b'ack from tho very time my arti cle was written, and from its records showed clearly beyond the possibility ol a doubt that fhevord "South" was "ha bitually left off" in the advertisements of the services of the M.E Church South, in Asheville, N.C In view of the fact that both the Topics and the Citizfn continued this manner of advertisement tluough tho yer 1886, and up to the last of JanTiary, 1887, it is not unreasonable to suppose that they would have contin ued it through the year had I not gone Into the otlice of the Topic some time between the middle and last ot January, 1887, an t demanded that a change be made. ' So that the ''seven notices" of the services of his church in which Di. Bays finds the word South in the files of tho Topics are dae solely to . my interference in the matter. Is it not strange that Dr. Bays would cite these "seven notices" when thev aro the results of my efforts to change the false advertisement, and especially when at least four of the "sev en" occurred after my article was written and one or two of them after it was pub lisludf It only shows tho extremities i' which lie is reduced. - ' fCOXCLl'DKD ON roUBTH FAUH. - .Ayfcr's 8arsaparilla has such concentra ted, curative pptter, that it is by far the best, cheapest, and surest hlood-purifier known r . - . - . 128 A full regular made 2.V at. . 50c. half hoso for .

The m&n, like most SiameKjjeo ple, had their origin in Siatn;,u eign country of the bright red bcloi AM iar., A ;tl. - As biamese alono, or,snplv as twins, they would have attracted little attention, and even by combin ing tho two and becoming Siamese twins they, would huye died poor, perhaps, but with a connecting link which united the two at the-bose ot tho braast bune. they succeeded in acquiring a largo fortune! They have proved beyond a doubt, I think, thai genius, cannot be ac quired : it is a gift. It comes not with the seeking. Had little Gliangle und Englegone to school regularly all thiough their earlier year3 and studied with all their might, it could not have fitted them for the life they afterwards led, or cau-ied them to attract iKe atten tion ol the whole world. Nature doe not fit every man to be a Siamese twin. Science cannot aid him in becoming one in after years. Close study and application cannot assist him. To be a successful twin involves promptness also. It is a matter th.it cannot be postponed. And to be a successful biamese twin in volves f yen greater-difficulties. Chang and Eng were raised up to meet a certain demand. The ctisis came', and they were taken there to meet it. uiey came at a time when the world was clamoring lot a pair ol bun twins united at tne sternum by means of a light yellow. hrst-mortgage bond. But Chans and Ent? were not hap py even with their great wealth and the fame they had acquired working an entirely new vein.
