"TIMOTHY" WRITES AGAIN.
Offers More Argument To Show That
The Negro Ha« No Soul.
Mr. Editor :
Kindly permit me to call atten
tion of your readers to a peculiari
ty of those who attack Mr. Car
roll's interpretation of the teach
ings of the Bible and his views on
the origin and status of the
negro. This peculiarity consists
in the fact that the attacks of
those gentlemen on Mr. Carroll
' and his books, are invariably ac
companied by a direct or indirect
assault upon God's word. This, in
itself, should arouse suspicion in
every thinking mind; and should
correspondingly strengthen the
confidence of thoae tens of thou
sands of men and women in our
land, who accept Mr. Carroll's
views on the all-important subjects
of which ho treats.
One of the most direct assaults
npon God's word to which our at
tention has recently been called,
accompanied a recent attack upon
Mr. Carroll's views, in an article
which aj p !ared in ycur paper
from the pen of Dog-Killer. Ho
says: "It make* no difference if
Mr. Carroll has fixed up those
distinct creations, nnd placed the
negro In that creation which he
•ays consists uf only mind and
matter." *S
So "thuse distinct creations,"
matter, mind and soul, which em
brace the whole material universe
are not the works of God! They
were "fixed up" by Carroll, a man
who was born in the 19th eantry
of the Christian Era. Evidently,
Dog-Killer designed this state
ment as an appeal to the credulity
and prejudice of that priest ridden
class of sectarians whose ignorance
and narrow mindedness would
restrain them from investigating
any question, however important,
JUat conflicts with their priest
written areeds or the theories and
dogmas of their respective relig
ious Beets. Surely "Dog-Killer"
never deceived himself with the
hope that the more independent
•nd intelligent public, of which
Carroll's readers are a part, would
treat his absurd statement with
the least consideration; on the con
trary, he must have known that it
Would provoke a smile of derision
»nd contempt, accompanied by
protest, felt if not expressed.
Any one at all familiar with the
Bible could have informed "Dog-
Killer,", that the origin of "those
distinct creations," "matter, mind
Hnd soul," as they exist respective
ly in the plants, in the animals,
and in roan, was a matter of
scriptural record, thousands of
years before Carroll was born.
These three creations are the
essential parts of God's plan of
oreation, and just as the plan of
gny structure is older than the
gtruoture itself, so is God's plan of
oonditlon older than the universe.
Much like the atheist who denies
that the universe is the product of
IMvine art, and attributes its ex
,nce to "natural causes," "Dog
lfc,,ler" seeks to strip God of all
credit for his. works, by declaring
the existence of the "those dis
tinct creations'' to be "a theory
''ft*ed up" by Carroll. This was
not an accident $ it was the result
of the most deliberate design. He
first enters the pages of Holy
Writ, and attempts to remove
these thrtv* creations from the
realm of sacred history, and assign
them to the domain of human
"theory." He then takes the
"theory," thus iniquitiously con
oocted and assigned to Carroll,
*nd makes it the basis from which
to assail other truths. When
we seek an explanation of this
unprecedented course, we find
that the whole tenor of his article
olearlv reveals the fact that the
sacrilege of his andaoious act was
only equaled by the degradation
of the motive that inspired it.
"Dog-Killer" was actuated solely
by the desire to combat the laud
able efforts of Carroll to sever a
base-born ape, the genuine negro
and his mixed-blooded progeny,
from their unnatural relation to
the Adamic family into which
atheism thrust them ages ago, and
in which modern sectariavisom
desirus to hold them in disre
gard of God and his law.
We have little regret that the
want of space forbids us from
further comment on the distaste
ful acts and motives of our oppon?
ent; but we would indeed be
dereliot in our duty to our erring
brother, if we failed to remiud
him that, on a certain occasion
pur Saviour said: "Render to
Caeggr tjje things that are Caesar's,
and to (|od thp Md»g» that are
God's." Any one at—all familiar
with the value of words should see
at a glance, that this is not the
language of advice, nor of warn
ing, nor pf entreaty; it is the
language of oominandt and issuing
from the Messiah's lips, it at once
became Divine law the law of the
universe of this subject, and as
such, naturally takes its proper
place with those great laws which
God handed down to man amid the
thunders and lightnings of Sinai:
"Thou shalt not kill;" "Thoushalt
not steal," etc.
"Dog-Killer'' say* that the
| "theory" of "three distinct crea
tions," which Carroll "fixed up"
is the basis or premise from which
he argues to prove that "the
negro and all his descendants by
white men and white worsen are
soulless." This explains why
j "Dog-Killer" attempts to remove
these "three distinct creations"
from their lofty place in the
narrative of creation, and consign
them to the lower sphere of human
invention find theory. Mr. Car
roll explains the laws whioh gov
ern the reproduction of the matter,
mind and soul, creations as they
exist respectively in plants, ani
mals and man; he proves that the
genuine negro is an ape, and, like
every other animal he has no soul,
and cannot transmit, even to his
off-spring by man, something he
does not possess. It was this argu
ment with its broad scriptural
basis, which "Dog-Killer" desired
to assail: but he declined to assail
i( so long as it evidently had a
soriptural basis) so, in order to
weaken Carroll's argument he seeks
to strip it of its scriptural basis
by declaring the "three distinct
creations" to be a "theory," "fixed
up" by Carroll. But the trick
won't work; this sacreligious act is
"Dog-Killer," own, and he must
daddy his own baby.
Continuing, "Dog-Killer" naive
ly remarks: "If we prove by the
Bible that his. (Carroll's), con
clusions are wroflg it matters little
whether we pay any attention to
his premises or not." This is re
freshing! However, it must be
admitted that the gentlemen dis
plays a commendable regard for
his own baby, by declining to at
tack it even while forcing it to do
duty as Carroll's premise.
Proceeding "Dog-Killer" says:
"Suppose that we have here a
male and a female sheep both of a
separate or distinct type—the one
of a fixed black type, and no
tendency to become white nor to
impart a white fleece to its off
spring, while the other is of a fix
ed white type and no tendency
to become black, nor to impart a
black fleeoe to its off-spring, if
you were to mate these two sheep
the one with the other, who would
be fool enough to say that because
the black sheep, had nothing of
the nature of the white fleece

Tobacco Farmers
A RINGING ADDRESS AND APPEAL BY THE
ROCKINGHAM COUNTY EXECUTIVE
COMMITTEE.
Whereas, the conditions now
confronting the agricultural mas
ses of the State of North Carolina,
and especially those who produce
tobacco, are such that it is impossi
ble to keep stride with other busi
ness indpstripg of the country;
and sinco the farmer is the found
ation stone of all business struc
tures i and since upon his labors
and productions every olass de
pends for sustenanoe and prosperi
ty, we deem It justly fitting to
make this public appeal to the
people of this and other States.
We rospectfully ask that every
class of people examine the condi
tions tliat now confront us, to see
if you do not agree that in com
parison with other business enter
prises, the farmers' business is in
the back-ground, especially in the
tobacco district,
Cotton, now from ten to twelve
cents per pound, means that the
manufacturer of cotton goods will
raise the prise of same correspond
ingly with the increase of the
price of raw material; and since
the tobacco men are great users of
cotton goods, it means a greater
hardship on them unless the price
of our goods is raised. Furniture
has advanced in price recently at
least 10 per cent; lumber from $2
to $5 in the thousand; labor has
gone to the West or elsewhere,
and a|| other things whiob cquoern
the farmer have increased in price
accordingly. The price of the
farmer's goods have not increased
in proportion for the farmer to
keep pace with the progressive
demands.
The farms of this country are ;
getting thinner and thinner every |
year. Every farm needs improve- [
ment, better stock, and better ma
chinery, but under the existing
circumstances, it is impossible to
do this.
Our farmers need improving,
our schools need to be made better,
our roads need to be made better.
We need better buildings, more
pleasant socal conditions in every
home, which can only come by
supplying the needs of the 82 per
cent of the people of the State—
the farmers.
Now we realize that the above
cannot be accomplished at once;
we realize that it may take years
to succeed; we realize that past
failures of farmers' organizations
argue against our success, yet, we
hope to profit by their failure.
We know that there are men cry
ing: "You cannot organize the
farmers; they will not stick; and
if you do organize them the money
powers against you are too strong.
You cannot overcome them." All
of these conditions must be over
come. It is part of the battle.
We take oourage from the fact
that all great reforms have come
slowly, and feel that our cause,
the farmers' cause, is a just one.
We realize that we need the
help of the many many business
institutions that are dependent
upon the farmers. Our oase should 1
be mutual. You need our pro
ducts. You need our profits (what
could be profits) to carry on your
business more successfully. We
believe that you can see atonoe, if
you have not already seen, that
any movement whioh will put
more money in the farmers' hands
will put more money in the busi
ness man's hands, and to help the
farmer means to help every man,
woman and child, but just to help
the business man, only helps IS
per cent of our great inasa of peo
ple. We are reasonable; oar in
tention is not to hurt any one, but
to help ourselves by securing a
just proportion of the wealth we
produce, and we feel that it is a
just demand to say that we want
the privilege of pricing our own
products, aud we are willing to
give the other man the same privi-:
lege. We believe that this can be
done by the plan in the rough, !
which is simply this;
Ereot or seoure a steam drying
and storage plant at each market
in the country. Carry your tobac-!
co there; have it weighed, and:
priced, then dried and packed in
the hogsheads, rolled into the
storage house and insured, Then
issuo to the owner a certificate stat- j
ing the number of pounds aud
grades, specifying what per cent
of value of tobacco he may draw,
said amount to be f}*ed by a oom-;
mitlee selected for the purpose by
the County Executive Committee.
This is superior to any we
have ever advanced, and we hope
you will examine it at once, and if
you agree with us, stand by us
with your money and influence; if
not, give us at once the plan you
will stand by, Be it oqe that will
solve the problem, we agree to die
by it,
Feeling that the general pros
perity of the State will be furth
ered by it, feeling that every
branch of business will be bene
fited, feeling that anything to in
crease the prosperity of the farmer
will benefit every class of our peo
ple and bring greater happiness
in every home of our State we.
therefore, earnestly appeal to
every farmer and olass of men
! who aro interesjed to come to
gether at once, thoroughly organ
ize, get behind the storage plan,
assist with money and influence
that we may hold and control the
crop of and all future orops.
Don't wait, but act at once!
We further appeal directly to
the farmer to grasp the situation.
See that this is your tight. Begin
the fight by planning to raise at
home enough supplies for the
year, which, if done, will enable
you to hold your tobacco and
cause less to be raised; therefore,
we will have less to hold. Organ-1
ize thoroughly and effectually, and
do it at once.
Then you will be a real power
and can command a just position
in the oommeroial world. Re
member this is your business, and
if you do not push it no one will.
We believe that our State can
be organized within ninety days,
and it must be done.
It is better for you, for your
wives and your coun
try. Our last appeal of these se
ries is: That Almighty God shed
His blessings upon us in this
undertaking, and give us wisdom
to accmplish our purpose in right
and justice to all men.
We, the Executive Committee of
Rockingham County, respeotfully
request that every newspaper in
 in the State publish this appeal.
We will also appreciate papers of
other States doing the same.

Obituary Notice ot a Good Woman Who
Died a Few Days Since.
Walnut Cove, June 8.
Mr. Editor :
I wish to relate the sad story of
Mrs. Katie Warren who has
gone on before us. She died June
Ist, 1906, and was laid to rest in
the old family grave yard at W.
H. Smith's. She was 84 years
old. She leaves two sons, Messrs.
Henry Warren aud J. H. Warren,
and four grand children and one
great grand child, one brother, I
Mr. W. H. Smith, and many rela
tives to mourn her loss, but we
hope we will meet her to part no
! more, Aunt Katie (as we call
her) was highly respected and
loved by all who knew her, and
she will be sadly missed. Aunt
Katie was not a member of any
ohurch. She professed religion
about six years ago. She bore her
illness with great patience and
never grumbled. She had been
disable to go anywhere for a good
many years. Aunt Sallie Warren
whom she lived with is left alone.
While others keep her company,
we hope the Lord will watch over
her and bless her while on earth.
She says the neighbors were good
and kind to her as long as she
lived. Preacher Glenn from
Stoneville held burial servioes. j
She was surrounded by a large'
j congregation. I will close.
