XXXVI, NO. 75, LUMBERTON, NORTH CAROLINA FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 17. 1905. ' WHOLE NO. 2087 THE LUMBER BRIDGE NEWS. X.T7MBKK BSJDGB. N. C. REV. P. R. LAW. D. D. EDITOR. What would this country do if it had do fox hooters. Foxes have a nay of maltipiyiug beyoud all ' the knowledge we thiok we have about them. If there were uo fox killers foxes would in a short time constitute not only a great annoy ance, bat would become a destruct ive force that most farmers would feel keenly. One man told us re cently that thirteen foxes had been jumpttl within a half, mile of his Jiooseiaud tinea oy nunters tb.s seasoui. Groat numbers are re ported this fall. And they have increased surprisingly in places where heretofore tbore had iteeu very few. Where they appear in large number they do immense mischief, especially in the destruc tiou of poultry, lna most satis factory way ot killing them is by hunters. We confess to a loudness for chasing and catching them with hounds. The musio and ex oitement of ti.e chase has attrac tions for us above all other field sports. It is an inherited fondneBi. . Cur fathers loved and practiced it In earlylUf a we wejeideyotad tait Moreover fox hunters, as we have touched them, are among the finest fellows in the world. They are generous, high spirited, adventa rouB, hospitable, gentlemanly. To say a straneer is a fox hunter is rather to recommeud him to us. That Pattisoa, the democratic nominee for governor in the re publican state of Ohio, should have beaten last Tuesday the re publican nominse Herriok ought not to be a surprise. Merrick stood for whiskey and Pattisou against it. Herrick was professedly on the prohibition side yet in aotiou served theanti-prohibitiomsts aud was supported by the liquor or ganizations and constituency. Pat tison was loyally and consistently an out and out prohibitionist. The good people of the State without regard to party affiliations united in his support and he was elected triumphantly. Ohio is a great State. Toe tact tnat tnere are thirty well manned colleges inside its borders is proof enough ot tfce intelligence and independence, of its people. Demoorats and Re publicans will umto as long as there are good men among them in behalt of moral reform. It is now as it has ever been and ever will be that those who set them, selves against the march of the forces who fight for sounder mor als and the reign of oivio right eousness will be grovnd to powder. The triumph of the reform ticket , in Philadelphia which was voted . by good men of all parties is an- other illustration. Wrong may for a time usurp tho throne and right be hauled to tho gallows, but ero long a reckoning day comes aud , truth rises to conquer. We are right or wrong. There is no neutrality. Men must be for Christ or . they must be against him. The fact is nn welcome, but it is a solemn faot all the same. The cbureh of Christ is helped or is hurt by every man, The king dom of Satan is , helped or is hurt byvery man, All are lined up on one side or the other. No man can say he is doing nothing ana in s t the kingdom of Christ if he is not lined up . for it. He is fighting against it if be is uot fighting for it. , Said the King, he that gather eth not with me scatteretb abroad. -A man may not wish to be classi fied with the hosts of darkness. We should npt be surprised at that. No one can find, fault with the man who declines to admit that the devil is his leader, ad viser and supporter. But the devil is just this aud more for every man who has not come out aud accepted the Lordship of Jesus Christ. We see devotees to Satan at work all about. Some of them are church members. They do almost rlu thing for the church and are of tea absent when the Lord calls them to hear what he has to aay to them through his servants and mouth pieces. ? Wa regret that James W.
