SUFBEMAOY QUESTIONED.
A CtInnjnnlcatln In Regard to the
5ortti Carolina College Qnestlen
Instances Cited In the Argument.
Me. Editor I presume you haye
consoled yourself with the Idea that
jou have produced sufficient evis
dence to convince the moat skeptical
that Synod is supreme and intensely
goYereigo. Now I will make one
more effort for the defendant and
then I am done.
Now, let us analzze the evidence
produced by the plan tiff m this case
and see what it proves. Sometimes
evidence proves too much. You
quote liberally from the constitution
of Synod to prove Synod's sovereign
ty, and then you introduce seyeral
practical illustrations to corroborate
the testimony of the constitution.
1. That I F Patterson willed
pod some money, and said money
aa loaned out on mortgage, and
therefore Synod is sovereign . Now
I think if you will consult the min
utes of Synod you will find that
Synod had her treasurer incorporated
purposely to discharge legally that
which you claim that Synod has the
right to discharge, which is another
evidence of Synod's supremacy.
Next is the assertion that Synod
sold a lot and an organ in Lexing
ton. She did collect money from
the church and took private subs
scriptions and bought a lot and an
wgan in Lexington with a view of
organizing a church at that place,
and building a house of worship,
but after a year or so she discovered
that the organ was about: all 'the
number she could get, and she cons
eluded to sell out and reinvest.
Therefore she is sovereign and has a
right to command the church and
the church must obey.
Again, Mr. Blackwelder willed
of after his wife's death, if I am not
mistaken. Mr. A D Misenheimtr
married the widow and was usinjt
said lands. Synod did not4know
how long before she would come in
to position of the lands and she
wanted to sell her interest and the
question at issue was could Synod
toll what she only Tiacl in proipect,
and the court decided she could and
therefore Synod has a right to legiss
late for the church without any in
struction! whatever, but the last
reference to Synod's authority cars
tainly fixes her supremacy beyond a
ioubt. She recominenaV to ' the
Tarions churches that they coni
j tribute to a Home Mission fund,
which is used' to raid weak congrega
tions or mission points to build
Bouses of worship, etc.
Now it happened, that St. An
drewa' church was a mission . point
nd that St. James at Cofcord aided
tois mission to a considerable
tteunt, and St. James was not as
tojal to Synod at that time as some
f its members would have; every
other Lutheran to be now, andin V
compromise of matters, Synod agreed
t0 give her note tot St. James for
the amount claimed against St . An.
ewB, ancV now Synod owns St Ans
drewe church. Maybe she does, if so,
on the same line of reasoning she
0iSt. James, too, and St. Marks
fc Charlotte and St. Johns at Salit
JQrv and every other church she
individually .helped Ho build.
"11, 'I am, thankful .she does hot
n Holy Trinity at Mt. Pleasant,
St. Johns in Cabarrus, old Organ
m Rowan or old Frieden in . Ala
ce, notwithstanding the treasurer
I m t, ! i , -
he v did, but he came back and said
he didn't. Well, 1 guess those old
churches were built before Synod
adopted the constitution that "makes
her so intensely sovereign nd gives
her power to override State laws,
abolish charters of incorporation,
command churches and cut them off
from the house of Isreal for not
obeying her commands. Ai ;v-'
Mt. Pleasant being1 outside of the
pale of ciTilization, built Holy
Trinity and did not ask or receive
aid from Synod or anyone else, and
thanks, she is free and can do like
8t. James a few years ago, if neoess
sary, for what she conceives to be
right, withdraw from Synod until
that sovereign body recognizes her
rights.
Ton say Concord should be Mt.
Pleaaant's second choice. Now what
induced you to think that I can't
conceive. I believe I can assert,
without fear of soccesaful 'contra
diction, that N. 0. College would
have been on a railroad long ere this
had it not been fojj opposition by a
large majority of the business men
of Concord, some of them declaring
that the people of that section should
come .to town in -jtheir wagons for
the next fifty years, and who now
would assist in robbing the people
of Mt. Pleasant and vicinity of fifty
thousand dollars and more of values
to gratify the prejudice of men from
Tennessee, Virginia and South Caro
lina, who came here to pastures
green but in a short time will not be
seen within the borders of the If. 0.
Synod.
Mt Pleasant hai a right to expert
better things. The ingratitude
manifested by some of the advocates
of removal of the . college is too . bad
to consider.
Mr. Editor;; your should: :haye
quoted one other section of that
sovereign making constitution,which
declares that it shall be the duty of
every: minister in the N. O. 8ynod
to labor for the upbuilding of her
institutions of learning. j
: If it is rights if lit is honest, if it
is. Christian, to -demand obedience
from the laity it should be equally
so from the ministry iv Vs n
Now I am done. I;have neither
time nor inclination to enter into
further controversy on this question.
I am willing to let the ohuroh and
the publio take: the question and by
that rule (not found in the constitu
tion of Synod) . that commands that
we should do to others as . we would
have others do to us.

AFTER THE STORM.
c Pinned Down Then Drowned.
Herman, Neb., June 14 At least
thirteen persons were killed and as
manv dangerously injured in the
tornado and flood which devastated
this town last evening.1 About 100
others are dangerously injured, hav
ing' suffered broken limbs or bad
bruises. Few, in fact, of the 800 in
habitants of the village escaped
without some injury. A cloudburst
follo.wed the passage of the wind
storm, and some of those who lost
their lives were drowned in the tor
rents of water which swept through
the streets and among the wreckage
of stores and dwellings. There were
persons who might have been res
cued but that they were pinned
down in the ruins, and the water
rose 'above them.
Five hundred persons are home
less, hundreds are destitute and re
lief lias been asked of the large
towns of the State. Most of the
homeless are cared for temporarily
at Blair, and the railroad company
has run in a number of box cars to
house the destitute for a time,
bringing provisions from Omaha.
