lira. Margaret Phillips died at her
hme near Matthew on Tuesday of
last week, aged 67 years. Her maid
en name was Threat! and she was
reared near Zoar in this county.
"I've been reading The Journal
ever since it was started, and can t
do without it." said Mr. T. M. Tucker
of (loose Creek, as he paid for niote
than a year in advance.
Mr. J. Smith of New Salem was
married to Miss Iaura lloneycutl of
Stanly county on February 25th.
The ceremony occurred at the bride's
home and was performed by lie. Mr.
Black.
Mr. W. T. KingnT Kobe. 8. l.
was here last Tuesday and reported
that on the fourth inst. a son was
born in the King family, the first
son in the family in 26 years. The
young man is a son of Mr V. T
King.
In some sections of I'nion county
dirt is not only good but high in
value. Mr. Stilt Matthews of Ward
law recently l to Ex Sheriff A. J
Price a farm of 2iX) acres, near his
place in Sandy Ridge tow nship, for
$32.50 per acre.
Mr. J. M. (iuin closed his school
in the ai ill Wrove district, ance
township, last week with an enter
tainment Mr.- (iuin taught four
months, although there was not
enough money to pay for that length
of time.
Dr. J. P. Monroe left last week for
short visit to his mother in Moore
county, whence he goes to Baltimore
to take a special course in his pro
fession. He will be absent about
two months. Mrs. Monroe will visit
her people in Mxre county during
the time.
Mr. 8. R. Stephenson of Mineral
Spring is next to Mr. O. ( ', Curlee in
the matter of copies of The Journal
taken. Mr. Curlee takes four and Mr.
Stephenson is now paying for three,
but his son, Mr. P. 11. Stephenson, is
taking another copy, and so Mr. t'ur
lee isn't far ahead.
"If the others will help we will
run our school right on through the
summer," said Mr. V. A. Chancy of
Goose Creek, w ho is an enthusiastic
school man. "We've got the licst
school we've ever had, too," he con
tinued, "and w-e have already run
one month's subscription school."
While sharpening a large circular
saw for Mr. F. M. Sutton at the tat
ter's mill at Osceola, S. C, one day
last week, Mr. M. 11. Yandle had a
narrow escape from a horrible death.
l'nexiectedly to him the power was
turned on, the saw flew around,
caught his clothing, and hurled him
over it. His escae seemed miracu
lous. About 5 months ago Mr. Sain Mc
Manus of Sandy Ridge township had
his left hand slightly scratched by a
brass brad on a horse collar. Blood
poisoning set in and Mr. McManus
has been confined to his homo until
a few days ago. There is no more
dangerous disease than blond poi
soning and it arises from many
causes.
For sometime the town has had a
drill going on another well which is
needed to supplement the well whicbJ
now furnishes all the water used by
the town. After the well had lcen
sunk to a depth of 521 feet, Mr.
Hathaway, who was doing the drill
ing, has been compelled to abandon
it, and he has Wn ordered by the
aldermen to begin a new well. The
new well will give some water, but
not enough.
The People's Pry floods Company,
the name of the stock company which
will do business in The Savings,
Loan t Trust building, was organ
ized last week by the election of the
following directors: K. B. Kedwine,
Rufus Armficld, J. J. Crow, 0. II.
Richardson, J. C. Sikes, Jr., Dr. J.
B. Eubank. E. M. (trillin, II. L
Price and L N. Presson. The direc
tors elected the following officers:
J. J. Crow, president; C. II. Richard
son, vice president; J. W. Linoy, sec
retary and treasurer.
Miss Florence Ogburn, eldest
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Og
burn, died at the home of her pa
rents here last Wednesday morning.
Funeral sen' ices were conducted
Thursday afternoon by Dr. Howe.
In the death of Miss Ogburn, a lady
of genuine piety and Christian vir
tues passed away. She was an active
worker in the Methodist church and
one of iU .best Sunday school teach
ers. Though illness caused her to
suffer long and much, she bore her
afflictions with braver)' and was ready
to meet the summons. Besides her
parent, two brothers, Messrs. W. C,
Jr., and Louise Ogburp, and four
listers, Mesdames E. II. Austin and
A. 8. Morrison and Misses Mattie
and Nona Ogburn, are left to mourn
the departure of one 'hb was all

with plural wives?" he
that was what was
committee on Privileges and Elec
tions has been for several days tak
ing testimony in the case of Reed
Smoot, who seeks to be seated as a
senator from Utah. A number of
high officials of the Mormon church,
including it president, have been
before the committee, and in order
that our readers may know some
thing of Mormonism as it is today,
we print below an account of one
day's proceedings of the committee
It should be remembered that before
I'tah was admitted as a State, it was
required to pass a law prohibiting
IKilygamy. The Mormon Church, in
1890, promulgated a " manifesto
much referred to in the investiga
lions, prohibiting the marrying of
more than one wife. This "mani
festo" was claimed to be a direct rev
elation from God, but was not given
till after the law compelled it. It is
claimed that the Mormons are not
regarding it, but that the church of
ficials themselves go on practicing
polygamy in defiance of all law
Senator Smoot is an apostle of the
Mormon church, and had to get the
permission of the church to run for
the Senate. He does not himself
practice polygamy, but it is sought
to show that be upholds it. The
press dispatch of one day's proceed
ings is as follows, and is a good
sample of each day's testimony :
The Senate committee on Privil
eges and Elections Unlay in the in
vestigation of the protests against
Senator Reed Smoot of I'tah, brought
out a variety of testimony, of which
the most sensational was that given
by Francis M. Lyman, president of
the twelve apostles of the Mormon
enurcu aim tne man cnosen to oe me
successor of President Smith. His
admissions were similar to those pre
viously made by Mr. Smith pertain
ing to the church government He
is more free of speech than the pres
ident of the church and his testi
mony, though not materially differ
ing, caused several of the apostles
present to shake their heads at the
witness for the ptirose of compell
ing more discretion in answering
questions.
Mr. Lyman is angularly built, his
face is covered with a growth of
bushy red whiskers, and his s(ieech
is blunt.
Mrs. Clara Mabel Kennedy re
sumed the stand for a short time, but
her testimony was not important.
She was followed by Charles I',. Mer
rill, son of Apostle Merrill, who said
he was the son of his father's plural
wife, and is himself a polygamist.
In answer to questions concerning
his own marriages Mr. Merrill said
he was married first in 1887 to a wife
that died in 188'J, and that he mar
ried his "legal wife," Chine Hend
ricks, in lH'.H, and had five children
by her. He married another wife in
1888. He has had four children by
that wife. This marriage he regard
ed as illegal, on account of his prior
marriage.
Mr. Merrill said he now has two
wives and is cohabitating with both.
Senator Overman asked for a de-s-tiplion
of tl:e marriage ceremony in
1888 and the witness declared that
ho could not remember how it was
performed.
"You say you were living with
your mother when yon were married
the second time. Where was your
father, Apostle Merrill, at that time?"
was asked.
"He was on the underground most
of tho time," said the witness jocu
larly. "What do you mean by 'on the tin
dergound?' " asked Mr. Worthington.
Inflammatory Rheumatism Cured.
William Shaffer, brakeaian of Deo
altos, O , was confined to bis bed lor
several weeks with inflammatory rheu
autism. "I ated many remedies," be
say. "FjaUr went to McCaw's

suable to as band or loot, and in on
week' time waa able to work a bap

aad C. N. Simpson, Jr.
not now
Mrs. Matthews said that she had
had do objection to her daughter be
coming Johnson's plural wife. She
remembered well the marriage of
Johnson to her daughter and fixed
the date definitely at Mav, 1MII
It was brought out that Apostle
Truesdale had advised her against
allowing her daughter to become
plural wife on the ground that it
was against the law ot the church.
Mr. Merrill was temporarily re
called and questioned bv Senator
Dubose, who asked :
"Mr. Merrill, do you still uphold
the doctrines of polygamy?
"No, sir," was the reply.
"But you practice it?"
' I do."
Francis M. Lyman, an apostle of
the Mormon church and the prosec
tive successor of Mr. Smith as presi
dent of the church, was the next wit
ness. Are you a polygnn it?" Mr. Tay
lor asked, and the witness replied
frank I v, ' Yes." He sa;d that I e had
had tim e wives and that of the three
two are still living.
Mr. Lyman said that he had been
one of the signers of the prayer for
amnesty, pledging himself to all thai
it contained.
Mr. Taylor read portions of the
prayer. "Did you," he asked, "in
terpret that to mean that you would
abstain from olygamous co-habitation?"
I interpreted it to mean that I
should do all that was right."
'Did vou think it would he right
to abstain from polygamous co habitation?"
This was not answered directly at
the time. Mr. Lyman finally admit
ted he knew that in living in tKilyg-
amy he was disobeying both the law
f the land and the rule of his
church. He also said in reply to one
if these Questions that he was not
only now living in polygamous co
habitation, but that he expected to
continue so to live.
Mr. Hoar at last took the witness
in hand and brought out a succinct
statement from him which was of a
character to interest all present.
Referring to the rule of Much
you have simken," Mr. H.r said,
"you understand the rule or law of
the church to be the law of God, do
you not?"
Mr. Lyman replied that such was
his understanding.
Then you arc living and intend
to live in violation of the law of God
and man?"
"I fully intend." said Mr. Lyman,
"to be true to the law of my country,
to my God and to my obligations
and covenants with my wives, and I
have never done a thing that my
conscience did not approve.
"My case is different from that of
most other men. I was born in 1810,
and I can hardly remember when
my father was not a polygamist. He
was a friend and an adviser of
Prophet Joseph Smith and was
taught by him the importance and
the truth of the principle of polyg
amy. He accepted the teachings and
entered the practice, nftrrying six
wives. So that my earliest recollec
tion embraces the life of polygamy.
I remember all my father's wives as
I do my own mother, and I lived in
a family thus constituted until I
grew up and became the head of a
family of my own. Consequently 1
have known nothing else, and 1 have
felt that it was correct. I have al
ways felt in my soul and heart that
it was correct. I married first in
1857, again in 18ti'J and once more
in 1881. The situation has been
very painful to me and I have licen
greatly pained to find myself in op
position to the laws of the country
and the church. But I had made a
covenant w ith my wives to love and
respect them, and I could not find it
in my heart to separate from them as
long as thev were true to me."
Senator Hoar: "So you, an officer
in your church, expecting to succeed
Mr. Smith in the presidency and in
that capacity to receive divine reve
lations yourself, confess that you are
now living and expect to continue to
live in disobedience to the law of the
country, the law of your church and
the law of God?"
The witness replied w ith a simple
"yes.
In answer to a question by Senator
Overman, Mr. Lyman said that de
spite the manifesto of INK) the pres-
dent of the church could issue au
thority upon an elder to perform
plural marriages. "The president
holds the keys, said Mr. Lyman
"What do you mean?"
"That he is the only ono who has
any authority.
Mr. Worthington asked how it was
that the president could issue au
thority in conflict with the manifesto,
which is said to be the law ol God
and concluded his question thus:
"Is be above the Lord?"
"Oh, no, he is not above the Lord.'

"Have you ever reen!ed of that
disidiedieiice? asked Mr. Hoar.
"Nt yet."
"Did Senator Smt know you
were living with plural wives?" was
asked.
Mr. Lyman answered that Senator
S.n4 did not know, as he had never
met any one of hi wives. He said
that the eople in general in I'tah
knew, but that he did not think Mr.
Smoot had any knowledge of the
fat.
Chairman Burrow insisted upon
knowing if the people of I'tah knew
in regard to his life, why Senator
Smoot could not know just as well.
The witness insisted several times
that the people must have known
but that Senator Smoot did not, and
Senator Hoar demanded to know
what the witness meant by such an
swers. 1 he witness then said that
Senator Smoot probably knew just
as much about the question as the
iieople in general
"Ifci you take hack what you said
then that the people knew and Sen
ator Smoot did not know?" asked
Senator Hoar.
"I take that bark
After much effort a statement was
obtained from the witness that he
thought Senator Smoot was acquaint
ed with the general reputation and
accepted the reirt that Mr. Lyman
was living in olygatnous cohatma
tion with his ph.ral wives.
"How, in regard to consent given
S-nator Smoot to liecome a candi
date for Senator suppose President
Smith had refused to give this con
sent and Smoot had insisted iihhi

have happened to him?" asked Sena

i don't know. It would havi
made lots of confusion. We will
'scrap' about that question when it
comes to us."
Mr. Worthington inquired of Mr
Lyman whether Senator Smoot could
resign his apoetlcship if he wanted
to do anything which the church for
bids and still remain a Mormon in
good standing. The witness an
swered affirmatively.
Mr. Lvman told the story of an
effort on the part of Prophet Joseph
Smith to get rid of one of his coun
sellors w ho had been chosen by rev
elation and the refusal of the coplc
to submit to the change. 1 his was
for the purHise of showing that the
will of the iieople is stronger than
the wish or command of the presi
dent of the church.
I hi vou mean to say," asked Sen
ator Hoar, "that a revelation from
the Iird which has lieen rejected by
the people would count for nothing?"
It would count for nothing for
those who rejected it."
I hen, said Senator Hoar, the
voice ot the people is ot more author
ity than the mandate of the 1 rd ?"j
'1 he law of the Ird is whatever
is done by common consent."
