2 CALLED THEM NAMES THE EPISCOPAL PREACHER ABUSED THE METHODISTS AND BAPTISTS. ft CASE FOR BISHOP CHESHIRE. It wan no Opposition to the Episcopal Church in Mitchell County, but the People Object to Being Called “Liars, Low Down Scoundrels, so Mean That Heaven Will not Have Them and the Devil Don’t Want ThfnT’-“Uneomlortable Doctrine.’’ Bakersville, N. 0., July 23. To the Editor of the News and Observer: I recently noticed an article in your paper which put, not only the County Commissioners, but the good Methodist and Baptist people as well, of Mitchell county, in a false light before the public; and believing that you are willing to correct any false statements which you have unwittingly made in your paper, I feel it my duty to give you the facts as they really are: The County Commissioners made an order for the Sheriff to keep the court house closed against all business other than that for which it was built, more than a year ago, and before the highly esteemed!?) Episcopal clergy ever came to this place to preach. Their reason for doing so was because at such gatherings the windows were broken out, the fur niture of the court house had been dam aged and the court house otherwise in jured. But the sheriff had failed to carry out the order to the letter, and when the aforesaid highly esteemed*!?) Episcopal clergymen came to the place and after having preached in the churches of the town, and had held up the members of those churches in derision and denounc ed them as hypocrites and otherwise abus ed them to such an extent that they con cluded that hospitality (of that kind at least) had ceased to be a virtue, and closed their doors against the aforesaid highly esteemed clergymen. Then the court house doors were thrown open to them and they were allowed to preach in the court house unmolested, giving vent to all the spleen that the devil could prompt against the churches and clergy of this section until some of the good citizens complained to the sheriff that they thought it unjust that the peo ple had been taxed to build a house in which they are to be thus publicly abused, and the sheriff called the atten tion of the county commissioners to the matter, and the commissioners said that they had upon investigation found the court house to be unsafe, and from recent development was liable to collapse and must be repaired and therefore directed the sheriff to enforce the order which was made before the preachers of “uncom fortable doctrine'’ ever came to Bakers ville. The order closes the court house doors as effectually against the Methodists and Baptists and all other public gatherings (except for the transaction of public bus iness) as it does against the Episcopa lians. The Baptists have always been the champions of religious liberty, and the Baptists and Methodists of Mitchell county are no exceptions to the rule, and none of them object to Episcopal ministers coming here and preaching the doctrines of their church, but they do object to them calling the Methodist and Baptist ministers of this county “liars, whore mongers and low down, contemptible scoundrels, so mean that heaven will not have them and the devil don’t want them, and there will have to be a new and worse hell created to put them in.” Now the people of Mitchell county don’t believe such slang to be Episcopal doctrine; though we plead guilty to the charge of ignorance, we are not natural fools and we don’t believe the masses of the members of the Episcopal church are fools, and if they will send a minister to preach to us who is not a blackguard we will treat him with the utmost courtesy, just as we did Mr. James so long as he would allow us to do so. Now these are the facts in the case w ithout any attempt to paint or magnify them, and in justice to thefeiple of Mitchell county I hope you will give them to the public. S. E. K. Buchanan.

A Scholarship for Any Town That Bat More—A Prize Tor the Best Explana tion ol the Town’s Pre-Eminence. Oxford has long ranked as one of the leading educational centres of the State, and now a bold challenge is made to the State in which a scholarship at the Hor ner School, worth #250, is offered to any town or city in the State that has fur nished more first-honor graduates at the University, Davidson, Trinity and Wake Forest Colleges, during the last three years, Oxford. Further, the Horner School offers a scholarship, giving all the college fees free, at any college in the State to the school that has furnished more honor men at these colleges than the Horner School. There are cities in the State with five or ten times the- population of Oxford and schools with four or five times the number of students of the Horner. Can they afford to let the claim go unchallenged ? The Horcer School offers a prize of 1150 for the best satisfactory explana tion of this pre-eminence on the part of Oxford, written by a boy under 14 years of age. The terms and conditions of the contest can be learned by writing to the Horner School. Silver, Cotton and Wheat. Atlanta Constitution. Mr. W. H. West, of Okolona, Ark., writes to the Constitution as follows : Editor Constitution—Why is it that the price of silver bullion governs the price of cotton and wheat ?—a proposi tion that statistics prove to be true for the last twenty years. But why is it so? It is very simple. The wheat and cotton grown in British India compete in the English markets with the wheat and cutton produced in the United States. The wheat and cotton of British India is purchosed with and moved out of that country by means of silver cur rency. It is only among the British residents in the seaport towns of India that the purchasing power of the silver rupee has depreciated. Among the great mass of the population of British India silver has not depreciated in the slight est degree. A rupee will purchase as much now as it would when the market value of the metal was #l3l. An ounce of silver would purchase a bushel of wheat in that county in 1873 and it will purchase a bushel of wheat in that country- now. An ounce of silver would purchase ten pounds of cotton in British India in 1873, and it will purchase ten pounds of cotton in that country to-day. The result of this is that when the wheat and cotton growers ol this coun try send their products abroad, they are compelled to take the equivalent of an ounce of silver for a bushel of wheat and for ten pounds of cotton. It has, there fore, been the policy of England to de preciate the commercial value of silver. Why ? In order to get cheaper wheat for her pauper workingmen, and cheap cot ton for their manufactories. The commercial value of silver meas ures the price of wheat and cotton for the simple reason that the producers of wheat and cotton in British India can sell a bushel of one and ten pounds of the other for an ounce of silver and pocket as much money as they ever did. And this is one of the reasons why the policy of this country should run counter to the policy of Great Britain—one of the reasons why the people of the United States should place their influence be hind silver and legislate to increase the demand for it as money and thereby in crease its value.

We know that yon know that a fellow—we use the term in no offensive sense—is yellow because he is bilious. In other words, his liver has got ont of order, his bowels have become constipated. His skin and eyeballs as sume (a most unwarrantable assumption) a Saffron tiDge, his tongue puts on a coat of fur, even in the summertime; beneuth his right shoulder blade and ribs twinges remind him that a very restless imp is in their immediate vicin ity. Now, if this hapless individual will simply procure and use at once Hoetet ter’s Stomach Bitters he’ll be all right shortly. Constipation, biliousness, ma laria, indigestion, rheumatism, neural gia and disorder of the kidneys and bladder all yield to this peerless family remedy and preventive. Use it promptly, with persistence and regularity. A wine glassful thrice daily. of food, move the bowels easily and thus prevent andcure Biliousness, Torpid Liver, and Constipation.
