' TimOTHY" WRITES AGAIN.
Offers More Argument To Show That
The Negro Ha* No Soul.
(OOSTINUBD FROM LAST WEEK.)
about it, the white sheep could
,ot impart the nature of its white
fleece to its off-spring by the
blaok sheep?—' Yet in view of
thisimmutable law, which holds
g&od throughout all the realms of
nature, Mr. Carroll claims that it
Would be impossible for a white man
or a white woman to impart the
soul principle to their off-spring
by a negro as he claims that the
•onl principle is lacking in the
negro."
The only objection one could
urge against the gentleman's illus.
tration as above quoted is that it
fail* to illustrate, Mr. Carroll in
sists in his books that under the
influence of the law of heredity
any physical or mental character
of the parents is tranamittable to
(heir off-spring, The whits and
the black sheep are sheep—both j
animals —and, as such, are com
binations of two of Qnd's creations
—matter, and mind; and it isossen-
tiai that they transmit this combin
ation of matter and mind to their
off-spring, else they could not re
produce their kisd. "Dog-Killer"
strives to give a fictitious value to
bis illustration by laying special
stress on the nature of the white
sheep and that of the black one, \
sad the nature of their fleece,,
when any ten-year-old farmer boy
could have told him that they
ware both simply sheep and iden
tical in their natures', the same is
tiro of their mutual off.apring,
which might have a white fleece,
or a black fleece, or, a black and
white spotted fleeoe; but like its
parents, it is simply a combina
tion of matter aud mind, and
presents in its physical and mental
organisms all the characters of its
parents, save that of color. Then
if this white sheep and this blaok
sheep were killed sad skinned,
and their carcases laid side by
side, none oouid tell the white!
sheep from the black one; the
same is true of their mutual off
spring; again! if we remove the
fleah from the bony structures of
these two sheep and lay their
skeletons side by side, no anta
tomist could tell the blaok sheep
from the white one; the same is
true of their mutual off-spring.
Then submit the fl&oe of the white
sheep and that of the blaok one to
the most rigid mioroscspio investi
gation, and no distinction between
their uatures would be discovered;
they are both simply wool. Theis
is true of the fleece of their
inntual otf-spriug. Will "Dog-
Killer" have us believe that
no more distinctions exist between
whites and negroes in their physi
onl and mental characters than
exists between a white sheep and
a black one? "Dog-Killer" was
disoussiug the reproduction of the
aoul, something a sheep does not
possess, and to make his illustra
tion apply to bis argument, he
should have given either the
white sheep or the blaok one a
soul; in this event we presume he
would have given it to the black
one. But he gave it te neither.
While "Dog-Killer's" illustra
tration fail to illustrate the point
be desired to make, it is not
wholly without value as an illus
tration, since it clearly illustrates
the mental caliber of our would
be philospher. If any doubt of
this remains in the minds of our
readers, it must be removed by
the gentleman's further statement.
He says: "But if Mr. Carroll
oould prove that the soul princi
ple is laokiug in the negro, (which
he oannot), we could still say (and
yith as much propriety), that a
white sheep oould not impart of
its white nature to its off-spring
by a blaok sheep, just because the
black sheep has nothing of the
white nature about it, as to say
that a white man or a white wo
man cannot impart the soul prin
cipal to his or her child by a
negro, because the soul principle
is lacking in the negro."
The "anthropoid or man-like
apes" are the next grade of animal
below the genuine negro or "beast
of the fold," and in view of the
fact that no foreign missionaries
are sent into the jungles of Afrifflt
and Asia to convert these anthro
poids to Christianity, we infer that
the modern clergy have agreed
that the "soul principle" is lack
ing in these creations. To illustrate
the gentlemaus statement as above
quoted, let us suppose that a man
associates himself sexually with a
female gorilla, and that their con
tact results in the conception aud
birth of an off-spring that will
Jive, then according to "Dog-Kill
er," this off.-spring of man and the
gorilla has a soul, and it at once
becomes the duty of every Chris
tian to extend to it "a helping
hand," and "contribute of their
meanß," to educate, ohristianize,
and fit it for a mansion beyond the
skies.
And this ia the gentleman who
assures hiß readers that Carroll's
book "is almost anything else
than Biblical, scientific, and com
mon sense in its arguments."
Mr. Carroll shows by the Bible
that "God created man in His
own image," combined in him the
three creations, matter, mind, and
soul; the soul being a part of deity,
ia peculiar to man, since it was
not bestowed on the animals; thin
at onoe elevated man to the lofty
dignity of a creation, and estab
lished between God and man, the
olose relationship of father and
son. This explains why Adam iB
refered to in scripture as, "the son
of God." Thus man's possession
of the three creations, matter,
mind, and soul, made him a trinir
ty, corresponding to the Trinity of
heaven. While the animals, the
possessors of but, two creations,
matter and mind, are a duality,
And all the great nations of anti
quity as well as the early Chris
tian Fathers, Origen, Clement,
Titian and even the pagan philos
ophers of their day, recognized
man as a trinity. It remained for
modern sectarianism in the further
ance of its "race theory" and its
negroism, to attempt to drag man
from the lofty position in which
God placed him as a trinity, reduce
him to a mere duality—a combin
ation of "matter, and mind or
soul"—and thus degrade bim to
the low level of the brute.
Mr. Curroil shows by the Bible
that God treated the animals very
diffeiently from the manner in
which he treated man, by simply
commanding the earth to bring
them forth, after their kind, not
in His image. Hence, there exists
between God and the animals only
such relationship as naturally ex
ists between the artist and the pro
duct of His art. God made them
but he is not akiu to them; no
more kinship exists between God
aud the animals than exists be
tween the sculptor and the statue
lhat he fashions. Had God desir
ed any kinship with the animals,
of wbioh the genuine, negro is a
part, he would have established it
in the creation; and the very fact
that God declined to do this, must
be aocepted as proof positive, that
He desired no kinship with them,
and that none should exist. This
being true it follows that God in
in bis infinite wisdom would for
aee that inasmuch as the uegro
so nearly approaches man in bis
physical and mental organisms, it
was possible for man iu the grati
fication of his lust to beget off
spring by him which, as we see, is
indefinitly fertile; but this un
natural progeny would not be a

DANBURY, N. C., JUNE 21, 1906.
REVIVAL OP BRYANISM
SENATOR SIMMONS THINKS THE NEBRASKAN
THE LOGICAL CANDIDATE.
Special from Washington to Charlotte Observer.
Senator Simmons, the official head of [the Democracy in the Old
North State by reason of his position as State chairman, is watohing
with keen interest the rising tide that promises to make William
Jennings Bryan the Democratic nominee for President in 1908. In
fact, Mr. Simmons today declared himself in favor of Bryan and, like
Col. Watterson, entertains the while the very "liveliest and largest
hope." The North Carolina Senator looked with favor upon the
candidacy of Judge Parker when the campaign came on two years
ago, but today he authorized a statement of his belief that conditions
now point to the wisdom of nominating the Nebraskan. He says that
Bryan and Aycock would be about the right thing, and he believes
that Mr. Bryan and North Carolina's former chief executive would
make a combination that would appeal powerfully to the country.
A PORTRAYAL OF THE SITUATION.
A political writer recently said: "With the Democratic national
convention two years off, Mr. Bryan, wrapped in contemplation of
Old World wonders, has stamped liis party more effectively than he
did in 1896 and 1900. Democracy now finds a truth in the old song
'Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder.' Democrats of half a dozen
States, Arkansas, Missouri, Jowa, Indiana, Ohio and South Dakota,
have formally proclaimed him their choice for the presidency in 1908.
Wisconsin, Minnesota and New York and nearly all of the Southern
States are expected to fall in line in the Bryan procession." This,
perhaps, may bs regarded as a true portray*! of the situation, as Ohio
has not formally declared for Mr. Bryan, The Democrats of the
Buckeye State may be depended upon to do so, however.
HAVE CONFIDENCE IN BRYAN,
Representative Charles A. Towne, who left the Republican party in
1890 to follow the Bryan banner, reoently expressed the sentiments of
numerous Democrats in Washington when he said: "The spontanei
ty and sincerity of the demand for Mr, Bryan's nomination in 1908
are only the natural sequences of the political history of the past ten
years. The people of United States want progress with safety and
reform with justice. They do not propose, in correcting the evils of
monopoly, to run the exoesses of either socialism or benevolent des
potism. They have implioit oonfidenoe in the self-poise, the courage,
the sincerity, the honesty and the ability of Mr. Bryan. No man in
our political history has ever run the gauntlet of criticism and come
out of it with such increased prestige. I look upon his nomination
as already praotioally assured and upon his election as little less cer
tain. Much will depend upon the result of congressional elections
this fall. Should they give the Democratic party a majority in the
House, a task of the utmost difficulty will confront the legislative
leaders of that party. They would have the responsibility without
the power, and, under oiroumstance3 where false steps would be both
easy and costly. Should the Republicans carry the House by a narrow
margin, their task would be only less troublesome."
From "Arctic Explorer."
Mr. Editor !
As I have not wrote a letter to
the Reporter in a long time, I
thought I would write another one.
I wish to mention some things of
late that I have seen in the Re
porter that Borne of the Southern
people have been in regard to some
Northern people. The Southerner
as a rule seems to overestimate
the Northerner too much. He takes
pride enough in himself. The
Northerner is not that way by the
people of the South, but they are
on the other hand. They want to
try to be smart and gay; tell of
their smartness and what they have
done. As if there were not any
one else the gentlemen or the ladies
of the South pay too much atten
tion to the people of the North of
the Mason and Dixon line. Make
them think they are the whole
works. That is where our South
ern friend makes his mistake. I
want to say this right here, seeing
is believing. Experience makes
a good teacher. I have lived in
the South, I have traveled the
North, I always find it that way.
Another thing I want to mention
that I have seen in print in speak,
ing of Rome, Mass. Boys, one
correspondent from Walnut Cove
Route 2, in speaking of Prof. Jolly
I notice he says Prof. Jolly has
returned to Massaoheusetts. I
guess the boys will have to smoke
oob pipes now instead of 5o Ha
vannas. I want to say, kind read
er, I thing Stokes oounty boys are
just as able and as worthy of smok
ing 5c Havannas as Prof. Jolly or
any other Now Euglander. I also
think that the Stokes boys ought
to be careful how they make
auch statements about their home
oounty. Suppoee Prof. Jolly waa
subscriber to the Reporter and
see that statement, he would laugh
and speak words of scjrn about it
and probably the people of the
South; ah seeing is believing.
You can't tell me anything about a
cold blooded Yankee. Also anoth
er correspondent speaking about
the Bolt boys, of Holyoke, Mass.,
being in their vicinity, like it was
any honor to speak of a cold 1
blooded Yankee. The people that
believe in negro equality, a shame.
Wonder if my correspondents
noticed the statement in the 1
Atlanta Constitution of a few
weeks ago about the negroes i
rareing and pitching about being
on equality with white people at
the Jamestown Exposition. Speak
ing of a negro Minister of Boston.
Speaking of the negro sure is to
be classed as malefactors and be
rejected of men. We might as
well strike down the Shaw Monu
ment and put Robt. E. Lee's
Monument in its place, or strike
; down the Goddess of Liberty and
substitute Jeff Davis' Monument
]in its place. They, as far as to
say that if a colored person went
to the Exposition they would not
be treated decent and with respect
by the white people, and before
the Mass. legislature voted her
$75,000 to help carry on the Ex- j
position She ought to see that
her colored people are treated
decent by the white people of j
Virginia, and the South all that
Arctic Explorer has to Bay, is this
that the State of Virginia is not
so poor. I don't think that she ;
needs Mass. $75,000 to help carry
on the Exposition aud also the
white people of Mass. was uphold
ing thiß negro measure to accord- j
ing to the Constitution I have
this to say if Mass. people loves
negroes that well she had better
keep her negroes at home and
COBALT IN STOKES.
Mr. Edison Finds it In Abundance in
North Carolina.
While in Asheville Sunday, Mr.
T. A. Edison, the scientist, who is
making a tour of the State in his
automobile, said: "If cobalt is as
plentiful in North Carolina as I
believe it is, I will reduce the
weight of storage battories in
automobiles fifty per cent, and the
cost of traffic in cities fifty five
per cent."
Mr. Edison passed through
Madison a few weeks a ago on his
way to the south western part of
the State, It is to be regretted
that some one did not direct his
attention to Stokes county, where
minerals of all kinds exist. Cobalt
is said to be found wherever
mangonese exists, and this assures
the presence of the valuable
mineral in our county, for we
have numbers of fine mangonese
deposits.
There is a streek of cobalt run- j
ning east of Nashville, of Tenn.,
into this State and Mr. Edison
says some of the richest beds he
has found have been in North
Carolina.
He found cobalt in Lincoln,
Gaston, Shelby and Jackson coun
ties. In Jaokson oounty there is j
a large quantity of it, while the |
beds are valuable in the other
counties. He made assays of the
mineral at many places and found
the quality to be just what he had
been looking for.
Big Debate Between Buck Island and
Muff.
Danbury, June 13.—The Muff
Debating Society challenged the
Buck Island Debating Society for
a joint debate. The question dis
cussed was "Which Would a Man
Risk Himself Fartherest For, the
Love of Women or For money."
The Buck Island boys took women
for the affirmative leaving the
Muff boys with money as nega
tive. The crowd met at Benuett's
School House Saturday, June 9th.
At ti o'olook the house was called
to order by Mr. O. M. Bennett.
The speakers for the affirmative
were W. A. Nelson, Sam Fagg,
Rufus P. Mabe, O. M. Bennett
and J. M. Fagg. For Negative
were H. H. Reid, J. M. Mabe, J.
A. Stephens, Wesley Mabe and
W. M. Mabe. There was a large
crowd in; attendance both ladies
and gentlemen and all seemed to
be interested in the discussion.
The question was very ably dis
cussed on both sides and the
judges were charged and sent to
themselves to decide. They wore
not out long before they came in
and decided for the negative.

Mass Meeting In Interest Of Electric

A mass meeting will be held at
Yadkinville July 4th, in the inter
est of an electric railway from that
.point to Winston-Salem. The
Winston Sentinel says that such
an enterprise is one of the greatest
' neods of Yadkin oounty and that
her citizens seem fully alive to the
importance as well as benefits the
building of such a road would
afford.
j entertain and look after them
there in Boston or some of her
Mass. Citieß. I believe this idea
|of Arctic Explorer will meet the
approveal of most of the readers
of the Reporter or I hope so. At
last it comes natural for a Yankee
or any northerner to love a negro
so if they love them that well
they had better keep their impud
ent negroes on their own soil and
keep social equality with them.
There that custom eoea in all
States north of the Mason and
, Dixon line, but it don't go down
in the sunny land of Dixie.
