CITY SHOULD AID IT
Those who have Helped in a
Most Worthy Cause—La
dies of the League Have
Done Wonders
Written for The Democrat.
This article about the new Park
is first of all to correct what I am
sure was an unintentional mis
take in last week's Democrat
that "the Civic League has done
$4OO worth of improvement on
the park." Instead of $4OO it
has expended .about $l,lOO, the
greater part of this amount be
ing raised by subscriptions. The
largest donations were $lOO from
Mr. J. D. Elliott; $5O from Judge
Council; $2O from Mr. P. A. Set
zer; $25 from Mr. S. L. White
ner; $5O from Mr. W. B. Menzies
$25 from Mr. A. A. Shuford; $2O
from Mr. G. H. Geitner, while a
number of others gave $l5, $lO,
$5, $2.50, $2 or $l, as they felt
able or interested.
It was impossible fur the com
mitte of ladies last fall to see ev
ery one, and as no appeal has ap
peared from the Civic League in
the town papers, this opportuni
ty is taken to ask any one who is
willing to contribute to the park
to .send their contributions to
Mr. K. C. Menzies or Mr. C. C.
Bost.
Besides the donation before
mentioned, about $BO was taken
in on "Tag Day/'about $4O from
the Spelling Bee, and $ll from
dues. The League is also great
ly indebted to Mr. Hodges, of the
Southern Railway, for a car load
of crushed gravel; toCnase Bros,
of Huntsville, Ala., for $5O worth
of plants and shrubs, and to the
committee, Messrs. K. C. Men
zies, C. C. Bost and J. D. Elliott
who have expended the funds so
economically and judiciously —
giving generously of their time
and attention to the park.
For the information of those
who may think that other mat
teis are of more importance than
the improvement of the park, it
may be seated that the Civic
League was organized at the re
quest of a number of representa
tive citizens for the purpose of
developing and improying the
park.
Last fall, the league asked and
received permission from the
Board of Aldermen to do what it
could to transform the dense,
swampy, primeval forest —the
hiding place for snakes, tramps
and perhaps worse, in the very
heart of town —into a place of
rest, a place of safety where old
and young could gather for rec
reation and not feel afraid. It
was the ambition of the organiz
ers of the Civic League to raise
enough money by subscriptions
and entertainments to prac
tically finish the park, which it
hoped to give back to the town
an attractive, spacious pleasure
ground.
The landscape architect em
ployed thought that $l,OOO would
put the park in good shape—lake,
fountain, fountain, drives, walks,
lawns sowed in grass, etc —but
this estimate was much too
small. '
Last fall, when no more money
was in sight, it was decided to
borrow $4OO so as L to leave the
park in as good shape as possible
for the winter. At this time,
when it is thought that $6OO
more will finish the work as
planned, the park presents a very
attractive appearance, and one
can readily see what desirable
changes a few hundred doliars
more would make. The improve
ments, so far, have been the re
moval of superfluous trees, (a
work of much time and expense,)
grading for walks and drives,fill
ing unsightly places, digging the
lake, planting shrubs, sowing the
main part of the lawn in grass,
etc. What remains to be done
is the erection of a pavilion or
shelter, finishing the lake, seats,
sowing the remaining lawns in
grass, and some further work on
the drives and walks. The work
that has been done was done with

The executive committee of
the Civic League attended'the

men las; Tuesday night when a
petition for $l,OOO for the park,
signed by fifty representative
tax-payers of Hickory was pre

a forcible speech by Mr. W. A.
Self. The members of the com
mittee are much indebted to Mr.
Self and Judge Council for being
their spokesmen—the ladies be
ing for once in their lives at
least, slow of speech.
More might be written, but
perhaps this is sufficient to show
the present condition of the park.

Mrs. Ekuira Woods Dead
Mrs. Eimira Woods died at her
home in North Hickory Friday
afternoon about 4 o'clock, age 58
vears. Her body was interred at
Houck's chapel Saturday morn
ing at 11 o'clock. The cause of
death it is believed, was cancer.
She had been critically disabled
for several months and had been
growing worse all the while.
She was taken to Salisbury for
treatment sometime ago by her
son, Houston, but she could not
be helped and the doctors all
gave her up.
Two children survive her:
Azar and Hou.ton.
The funeral was conducted
from the chapel by Rev. J. D.
Harte.
Mrs. Woods was a good wo
man, a constant Christian, and
an industrious laborer.
Oxford Ford Items
Correspondence of tlie Democrat
Oxford Ford, June 15. —The
latest thing in our section is the
"mad dog" question. A dog be
longing to Mr. Obed Hefner, we
are told, was bitten by a mad
dog two weeks ago. He refused
to kill the dog. In turn, this
dog went mad and escaped. He
headed toward Catawba station,
then passed Claremont toward
Conover, then through the Cline
community and toward St. Ste
phens, where he was killed. But
in the meantime he had bitten
innumerable dogs, several cows,
chi kens, and he came very
nearly biting two children and a
woman. Some owners of dogs
that were bitten refuse to kill
their curs, and there is much taik
of seeing what the law can do for
the above condition.

COMMENT
1 ii ■ i irii I
We call attention to the com
munication of Mrs. C. C. Bost in
regard to the park. It was in
advertently that the Democrat
last week failed to mention Mr.
Self's eloquent plea before the
Board of Aldermen in behslf of
the needed $l,OOO appropriation.
We understand that Mr. G. W.
Rabb, a business farmer.a brave,
one-legged Confederate and a
fine Chistian gentleman will be
the nominee of the Democratic
party in the county for the Leg
islature. We have advocated a
farmer for this office and we be
lieve no better man than Mr.
Rabb could be chosen.
The Democrat wishes to back
up what Dr. Murphy says in this
issue in warning against Russell
ism. We wish all the brethren
of the Press who are printing
Russell's dangerous doctrines
would read it and act on it. We
know some good people who have
been deceived by this modern er
ror, which denies the physical
resurrection of Christ.
We are glad that the applicant
for a near-beer license found that
the Hickory ordinance so hemmed
in such a place with restrictions
as to to make it impossible of
successful operation, We under
stand that it was not the $l,OOO
license but the restrictions which
disheartened the applicant. Hick
ory is doing well enough without
the ni-beer saloon in the freart
of town. We wish there were
some way to get shed of the three
outside of the corporate limits,
but the sheriff (not the County
Commissioners) has no option
under the law and here they are
at $2O license per.

Warns Against
Pastor Russell
Denies tbe Physical Resurrection
Oi Jesns Christ
DR. J. L. MURPHY WRITES
A Review of His Teachings—
Able-Bible Scholars who At
tack Him—No Connection
With Talmage
To the Editor'of The Democrat:
I note that some of the coun
try weeklies are publishing the
comments on the International
Sunday School Lesson as sent
out by Pastor Russell of the
Brooklyn Tabernacje. It has oc
curred to me that in all probabil
ity these editors have not taken,
the time to examine the teach
ings of Mr. Russell and it may
be that they have associated
"Brooklyn Tabernacle" with the
teachings of the late Dr.Talmage.
As a minister, I feel that upon
me is laid some responsibility of
preserving the Truth, and that
i it is the duty of the true minister
to inform the people on matters
religious. If they fail to heed
his pleadings, the responsibility
is with them.
Believing this to be true, I will
state as near as I can, and in as
few words as possible the teach
ings of Mr. Russell. I will give
my sources of information.
(a), Russell's writing, al
though I have not read all of his
,book and all that he has written,
(b). Information from dear
friends who have read every
thing he has written and ac
cept his teachings, (c). Dr.
James M. Gray, dean of the
Moody Bible School, Chicago,
and who is oneof the most con
secrated men I ever met and the
foremost Bible teacher in this
country, (d). Dr. W. G. Moore
head, president of the School of
Theology, Xenia, Ohio. Dr.
Moorehead, says: "It (the teach
ings of Russell) is a mixture of
Unitarianism, Universalism, Sec
ond Probation, and Swedenbor
gian method of exegesis and
among all the books of the Eng
lish-speaking world there is no
book contains more errors."
It is not my purpose, however,
to argue for or against Mr. Rus
sell's teachings, but to state as
clearly as I can the things which
he teaches and leave the reader
to consider for himself. Mr.
Russell teaches:
I. That Jesus is not the eter
nal Son of God, andf the Creator
of all things, but He Himself was
created and is therefore a crea
ture,
11. He denies the Incarnation
of Christ, but holds that Christ
while on earth had only one na
ture, He was human but not
divine.
111. He denies the Resurrec
tion of Jesus.
IV. He denies the Second Ad
vent, but hold that Christ has al
ready come the second time and
that this took place in 1874. He
holds that Christ has been here
all these years and has revealed
Himself only to the "Little
Flock" by which is meant Mr.
Russell and his followers but iri
1914, will take charge of things
and rule the world through the
"Little Flock."
V. He teaches that he that
believeth on the Son doth not
have eternal life now, but will
have it sometime in the future.
He makes a distinction between
being begotten of God and being
born of God. He holds that no
one is born of God until the Res
urrection.
VI. He teaches when a
man dies his soul passes out of
existence until the Resurrection.
VII. He teaches that the
wicked will have another oppor
tunity to accept Christ during the
millennium.
VIII. He denies the personali
ty of the Holy Spirit making Him
an influence rather than a Per
son.
IX. He does not believe in
hell, but holds that the wicked
are annihilated.
X. He opposes all the creeds
of Christendom without excep
tion and accuses the translators
of the Revised Version of dishon
esty in rendering certain Hebrew
and Greek words relating to the
doctrine of future punishment.
He stands alone and claims that
he is right against all the schol
arship and piety of the ages.

teachings of Pastor Russell as I
