C, Skitemkkk I, 1897. A FALSE SOCIETY. Rev. A. M. Hassell, 'pastor of t lie Preshyterian church Iiere, is not'in eloquent preacher, but a .pleasant and very' able preacher. His sermons are gems of reli gious thought aiuL are always full of happy consolations and instructive ideas to the chris tian whose desire is to more fully understand the great truths and mysteries of the liible. Last Sunday was his regular appointment here and lie preached two excellent ser mons. The sermon at the even ing service was an able effort and his .subject a rich one. He spoke from the book of Joshua, the latter clause of the 21st verse, second chapter : "1 she bound tlie scarlet line in the window," and ably did the handle the subject. The readers of the Old Testa ment are familiar with the sub lect. It was Joshua who sent two spies into the city of Jericho to soy out the land and the spies, on learning that they were heinir sought by the ofii cers of the King of Jericho, took refuge in the house; of Kahab, the harlot who was a cast out from society and lived on the wall of the city, who hid them in her house and told the pur suers that they had been to hei house but had departed from out the gates of the city, andaf ter the pursuers had gone she Kit mem uown out oi tne win dow on the outside of the wall .. .... ia ., i . ii. ... i . wiiii n Mjiinut cum uie sines L made a covenant with her that when thecity was destroyed, that she and all her houseliould be saved, and as a token of that covenant she was to bind the -.1 .. L 1 ' , 1 1 scanei Jiue in ine window so that when the besiegers came upon the city that her house should not be harmed. t. 1 A.1P..1 1 ...... iiui u ut'Hiuiiui lesson mis teaches of (he great and bound less mercy of the gracious Lord ,A .-harlot, an outcast from, the world and society, hated by her i i i uu m'.v una scorneu nyinen, and her household of all the city of Jericho were to escape the wrath of the' chosen people of (tod, anil this by faith only. i Ins lesson that the outcast, the fallen, the polluted in sin may receive the richest bless ings of Divine mercy. That the high and the low are alike me .recipients ot these unmerit ed graces' of .Omnipotence.' When we read of these illustra tions given us we think with . 1 . 4- ..... .1 l 11 1 wii.ii ii fumnisj n com and cru el world treats these unfortu nate people. How different ! When a woman falls from virtue and chastity she incurs the unyielding wrath of all her sex; she is thrown out upon the cruel and unmerciful world : an outcast from society, reviled and maligned by her own -sex in bitterest denunciations a n d shunned by all men, with no one to speak a word of cheer or offer an entwining arm to up lift her; no one to offer her a pit tying glance or a prayer that may reform and redeem her- ciety can do a great good along this line and- help the work of the church much. Because man or woman errs once, don't turn your back on them, but talk with them and forgive them, and don't let your for giveness grow tired but forgive forty times seven if necessary. Let "false society go and bring about a society that will make men and women better, with no bier ideas and higher moral and christian characters. Governor RussELilast week notified Railroad commissioners Mai or J. W. Wilson and S. Otho Wilson bv letter to show by to-day, September 1st, whv thev should not be removed from their offices. The Govern or intimates in his letter that .?ach of them is influenced by the Southern Railroad Company and are directly or indirectly connected with that road against the provisions of the law establishing the Railroad Commission. They will have a hearing before the Governor at the capital to-day and will more than probably be removed bv him and others nut in their places. Senator Butler and the Governor both favor their re moval. These two gentlemen want to do something to make the lease of the North Carolina railroad the leading issue in the next campaign. They have seen the hand-writing on the wall and it is ''White Suprem acy" and they each know that with this issue nothing can pre vent the deleat of their parties at the next election. Old maids and widows of matrimonial inclinations and who have about given up hope of ever getting married should start out for the Klondyke gold fields in Alaska. It is reported that in Dawson City, a town now with 4000 population where a year ago it was an uninhab ited wilderness, has only one unmarried woman in it and she has: been courted by and has refused every single man in the town, many of them placing thousands of dollars worth of gold dust at her feet if she would only accept, their love. It is said that any woman can get married there within thirty minutes after her arrival if she would let the fact be known, and. marry, rich" too. The New Englanif woman who wants to start a "Society to Promote Marriage" might make a bonan za by riageable raising a party of mar- women and them to Dawson City. taking Governor Russell and Senator Butler want Railroad Commis sioners that cannot be influenced by the -.railroads, (they claim that the two Wilsons are) but we tear that they will be harel to find in a party that does not make any pretentions to lion- sty, as the Governor's does, and one that one-third of its members are traitors, as Mr. Butler says his is. They are i nice pair to separate the chaff from the wheat. - The post office at Mt. Olive was broken into last Friday night and the safe blown open with dynamite and robbed of $300 in cash and stamps. Mount Olive has the distinction of hav- lg a negro postmaster, who .1 i i . . says mat he noticed a strange white man wlW seemed to be interested in the amount of business the office was hanging around the office Friday. Avery IInlIr Iatt-1 one il. Last Sat urday C c vernor Rus sell pardoned Avery Butler from a life sentence in the peniten tiary for the killing of his fa ther in Sampson county near Clinton in 1889. Butler was only 14 years of age when convicted of the murder in April 1890 and was sentenced to be hanged on July 11th, but his sentence was commuted to life imprisonment in the peni tentiary bv Governor Holt. The boy escaped from the peni tentiary twice but was each time captured and taken back One time he was captured in Tennessee. The Governor in pardoning him ' says that he does so at the persistent appeals from the best citizens of Samp son and by the directors of the penitentiary ; that it appeared that the boy had a brutal fa ther who threatened, often, to kill him and his mother, and who inflicted cruel punishment on the bov ; that his "mother is a deserving woman and Jier distresses nave oeen and are such as to appeal to every man who is capable of generous emo tion." AY e know something of the facts in the case of young But ler. He was probably driven to commit the horrible deed in fear of his own life, and the pardon will generally be com mended by the people who know the history of the case. The young man now has life before him anfl it is hoped that he may take advantage of the opportu nity and make a good citizen. J. W. Bdggett. of Oak Grove.
