A MENACE TO MANKIND.
One of thermost insidious and
subtle encroaches upon the vital
ity and power of the Church is
being made by "Pastor Russell,"
of the so-called Brooklyn Taber
nacle. He claims to be the most
popular preacher in the United
States. While tne modern Prot
estant pulpit is more or less'
afraid to preach the doctrine of j
eternal punishment of the wick
ed, or asleep as to its importance,
this man Russell is boldly pro
claiming that it is not true, and
in this fact doubtless lies his pop
ularity, for it is of course a com
forting doctrine, and removes one
great incentive to goldiness.
Worse than this error, however,
is his teaching that Christ is not
co-equal with God and that He
had no physical resurrection, Hi?
body in the tomb going off into
gases.
Russell has recently decided to
go to London. He claims that
his sermons are published weekly
in 1000 newspapers, going to 10,-
000,000 homes. The Democrat
office is constantly flooded with
the offer of his religious poison
free. One of his traveling re
presentatives has called, offering
his stuff in plate form for barely
enough to pay for the cost to
him. He gives away "space
fillers." Some North Carolina
papers are jumping at the bait,
but we hope they will stop the
use of it. Some of our people of
fine character have been led
away by his errors.
"Pastor Russell'' is one of the
most dangerous men in the world
today.
THE GUARANTEE FUND
The fact that Hickory is get
ting up a $200,000 guarantee
fund to be used for local invest
ments in new industries has at
tracted widespread atten ti on
from the brief mention of it
which has appeared in the South
ern papers. Among the indus
tries which have offered have
been a big bridge building plant,
an overall factory, a chair fac
tory and others.
Hickory is an ideal place for
manufacturing industries. La
bor is reasonable, climate is
fine, and power is available.
Secretary Joy is doing a splendid
thing in pushing this guarantee
fund.
THE CENTRAL HIGHWAY.
The Democrat calls special at
tention to the letter from Chair
man Varner, of the Central High
way, in this issue. Aug. 7is the
day for doing work on the high
way and we trust every Cataw
ba farmer will do his part. We
want to prove to Mr. Varner
that he need have no fear that
Catawba will not do as much as
any other county for the road.
Pale Cheeks or Rosy One.
Pale cheeks, muddy complexion,
dull eyes show a poverty of blood.
Bloodine Liver Pills, will drive the im
purities from the system, and enable
your daily food to supply new, rich,
red blood and rosy cheeks. Bloodine
Pills cure Liver ills.
THE LOCKHART-KITCHIN
DISPATCH.
The Demoerat deplores the
fact that the sensational fight
has at this early stage waxed so
hot. We cannot believe that
Governor Kitchin ever said to
Mr.: Lockhart that he "didnt
want anything done" bv the
Legislature in the tight against
trusts- We feel sure that Mr.
Lockhart must have misunder
stood the Governor.
At the same time we think
that Gov. Kitchin was not as
militant against the trusts in the
chief executive's office as his
stump speeches led the people
to expect. He says that the
executive's functions must not
overlap into the legislative. No,
but - a little Wood**ow Wil?on ur
gency in recommendations counts
for a gocd deal.
No Such Thing as "Equal"
Protection.
Senator Williams in Tariff Debate.
I hear very much about pro
.e.tion being "equal." There
is ro protectionist under the sun
who would vote for a protective
tariff that is equal in its bearing
on everybody In the first place,
.ou can not make it equal, be
cause there are some things
which, from the very nature of
them and the fact that they are
luimeusiy t-xporied, can nut be
protected to the extent of caus
ing a rise in their prices, but if
.ou could levy an equal-bearing
orotective-tariff system of duties,
a protective tariff of such a
character as to put one dollar
additional to What he now gets
into the pocket of each cotton
planter, one into the pocket of
each wheat farmer, one into the
pocket of each woolgrower, one
into the pocket of each lumber
.nan, one into the pocket >f each
miner, one into the pocket of
, ,>ach laborer, and one other dohar
i into the pocket of each maunfac
! curer, what would you have done
when you got through? You
would haye a system of taxes by
I which you would take one dollar
from all the people of the Uuited
States and give it to one fellow,
another dollar from everybody
*nd give it to another fellow,
and so through the whole popu
: lation, taking one from all and
giving one to each, and when
| you get through YOU would have
, taken from each man exactly the
| same amount that you gave back
; to him, less the cost of collectiDn
and disbursement. Nobody
I wants a protective tariff, except
■ j for the special advantage which
it gives. If it operated eqjally
as an advantage and equally as a
j burden on each and every man,
nobody would be assinine enough
to want it, because it would be
I merely swapping dollars with
i everybody everywhere, less the
. cost of collection, administration,
and disbursement.

Rev. B. L. Padgett and Miss
Carrie Stockton were found in
connecting rooms at an Atlanta
hotel. The preacher had board

a meeting he held at King's

father started to sue Padgett but
compromised. Padgett claims
the giri joined him of her own

Accused of Stealing.

Bringing Folks Back Home.
Correspondence of the Democrat.
Seattle. Wash., Aug. 2-Thei
"Back Home" movement to the
South is much discussed in this
city and in all the cities and
towns of the Far West. Every
where, in clubs, hotels and rail
road trains you hear argument
against it. It is the genera
opinion that the movement will
turn a tide home—seekers to
wards the South which, hereto
fore, has over-run the vVest and
poured over into Canada. The
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
Railroad is trying to draw upon
the congestion of home-seekers
on the Coast for settlers to .go
upon the ban en territory along
its line in Idaho, Montana and
sections east of here.
Comercial Clubs, although they
deride the "Back Home" move
ment, are nevertheless rendoub
thpir efferts to continue the
movement, of people to this coun
try. The high, officials of rail
roads say nothing about it. bu l .
from subordinates it is learned
that they are seeking to develope
a plan to counteract the "Back
Home" call ?nd the demoraliz
ing effect it is having on imigra
tion form the South.
A King Who Left Home

hulka, of Buffalo. N. Y. says he always
