Newbcra Journal. .l "'-,- Editob Jouknal: There have been so many wrong and " unjust statements made, and many of them published, that 1 feel in justice to the cause of Christian Science and myself aa one of its represen tatives, I cannot longer keep silent but must ask you to givs to tne p.ublic some of tne tacts in tne case. , Your papef of Sunday the 9th stated that the physicians who conducted the post-mortem examination said "the boy died of improper treatment and neglect' etc., also the statement that no water or food was allowed to be given the bov. I wish to say here there is not a word of truth in that report. After taking charge of the case the child was not neglected -physically, but on the contrary every care was given to bis comfort and welfare, both as to clean fresh clothing, bedding, proper tooa ana nourishment. It seems to me that such an accusation undented, would cast reproach on a lov ing mother, already sorrowed by her loss,1 as: well as myself and those who assisted in taking care of him, those ask ed tor oy tne mother, i ' To my certain knowledge he ate hominy and butter, dry toast, milk toast, ginger snaps (a lew;, egg ana milk wnipped to gether, muK, Deei tea, tomato soup, o: which he was very fond, and drank all the water and crushed ice he wished also lemonade, ate an' orange and more, and I carried him myself eight beaten biscuit between Monday noon and Thurs day, thinking be would enioy a little cnange in met, also a lew peaches, and when he asked for them again I tried to get them but could not, I also sent a can of tomato soup on Wednesday and the directions were written for his mother what, nourishment . to give and how often, every three or four hours, with water and crushed ice between it. I asked ber to make beef tea half o nan tit v at night, half in the morning, that it might De ireen. Agooa Bamantan in the neigh borhood will recall milking his cow late one night that the little bov miirht have fresh milk as that on'hand was sour. v Thursday night I was there and about 10:3Q o'clock we changed him from one bed to another with fresh linen. ' I gave mm irvm uij own nana more than a third of a goblet of jmilt and ta much water.; He seemed refreshed and went to sleep alter showing just whatcovering be wished over his feet. After 12 o'clock I was called saying the bov needed fresh clothing, I eaid by all means and bathe in warm water with soap-suds, this was advised from the first and the mother was the only one he would allow to do it. 1 told them how to doit withoutanv exertion on nis part. - - About lour o clock F"day morning was sent for, from then to seven o'clock was the usual rise of fever, while there between that hour and near eicht o'clock when I left, I arave him at three different times several spoonsful of milk, also of water, lie seemed to eniov it. In leav ing I always told them to give nourish mens ana to nave plenty oi Iresh air. When I left he was perfectly conscious and hopeful as I told him I would bring mm some pretty no were on my return. I returned about one o'clock, gave bim the flowers which he noticed with pleas ure, in a uttie wnue l went out to sneak with his mother as she sat with a lady wnouveaintnenouse. ene said to me "How is my boy?" I replied, he has fever, but he is in a natural good per? Di ration. he is perfectly conscious, his breathing is wnony natural ana Deis resting quietly. Every morning until Friday he had said he was better. As I talked with his mother she looked at ire and aeked if I thought I could car ry the case. I told her God was the lleaier, I could not speak for Him. but I did not doubt Him, I did not doubt Christian Science. That God who was the only power, had raised him the week before from a worse condition as she knew. But I eaid, my dear woman, if you are not eatinHed and wish other help send lor it. lie is your child and if I were you and wished every physician in town I should have tbem acd if you now wieh one I will go at once for any one you may choose. She answered, then you say give op Christian Science nnd send for a physician. &ly reply m, iNo, 1 c;d not say that, I said if you wish to give cp end have one, do to, and 1 wi;l go for the on you dmde cpnn. Lhe went for a friend to ret Lim. As he started I said to her then, you know now rive cp the cfue, or at Jewt you rive cp t ;r nee. On her return I advi-d . r to vsa.; (: t cntil her d.Ktor '9 tin. qniet.'y to "tUwI-s vw with war;'.", f.r. i 1 wo-;! hoc! i arrive and ,e c,'.'.

I have been censured for giving orders to keep company from the sick room. If any one had seen the case on Tuesday, August 28th, not one word would have been said. He was taken- in hard con vulsions when I reached him; his tongue was paralysed, eyes set, "wild with fright. Soon the treatment changed conditions for the better but for two days, until Thursday morning, 3 a. m., he was un conscious, teeth clinched, high fever, .The mother expressed great "gratitude and said she felt Christian Science had saved his life, and that no power but God could have done it. He eaid he felt perfectly well, a litth weak. He was given nour ishment and was rapidly recovering when I saw him on Friday. After such an ex perience, and with a child, who had con vulsions when in fever, it was only proper treatment to keep him quiet. He made no request to me , to see anyone, or it would have been ... granted, if he felt it would bave made him happy On Sun day Jie was taken with fever again. I feel that every human being has a right to "Life, liberty and the pursuit, of hap piness," and in this age of ; progress each one should have a right to worship God after the dictates Of his own conscience. As Christian Scientists our one aim : is to fulfill the golden rule, "As ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so unto them. I only had charge of the case because the child's mother sent for me. and the child too desired tt, and I have witnesses that I told her she could have a physician from the first at any time, because she had said to me. "if you could not have come at once, when be - was so sick on Tuesday, I would have had to bave a doctor." She was free to do as she thought best then, and when she. de cided to give my help up I felt she had a right to dO SO. X ' , unristian science is not in anv wav Hypnotism, Mesmerism, Theosophy or any lorm oi mma cure, wherein one hu man mind controls another, or suggests its own thoughts to another as a claim of personal power, although this seems to be the false impression among those who are ignorant of its true Principle and purpose, the destruction of ! sin. which brintrs its mvriads of discord sickness and deaths r In Christian Science we do not work from a basis of ignorance of disease and of a blind and ignorant faith in a super natural power ' nut from a thorough knowledge of the real cause of disease, an understanding of the Principle of life, which can solve all problems in a human existence. .J :'-:'-" vtf ', We by no means iernore disease, but we do treat it and usually destrov it. as many in this community, and not far away, who bave suffered for years under other care, have been healed through Christian Science, can testify.. Myself for one for nearly nine rears. I was with a right hand and arm prac tically useless with the knell sounded incurable, as it was piano-paralysis; to day it is in a perfect state of usefulness, perfectly healed through this understand ing. As taught in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy together with the Bible, ail may learn thereof and b blessed. God is my iudire. and I can trnlv for give every one who has unjustly accused, misunderstood or misrepresented me und say in the words of His only" Iwgotten son, "Father, forgive them; they know not what they do." i It must be the hour for us to learn our lesson Irom the words of our Master s sayinir, and be cheered and comforted in our effort to stand for the Omnipotence nnu umniprenence oi uoa,&uprorneuooa, and as a follower of Jesus Christ to stand for the healinjr mission which he ; . . . . . . tanjrht and bade all his followers so and do likewise. Blessed are ye when men shall revile you and persecute you and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake rejoice, and be exceed in x clad for great is your reward in heaven, for so persecuted tbey the prophets which were before you." Blesoed are ye when men shall hate yon and when they shall wparate you from their company and bha'l reproach you and ca-t out your name as evil, for the bon of Man s sake.

Criticism of Our Decision Regard ing China. Berlin and London Disapprove. " Berlin, Sept. 23. Discussing the answer of the United States government to Ger many's proposal regarding the Chinese settlement, the Votische Zeitnng says today; ',- t'k-.-'i-: '-:f '4 "America's abandonment of the con cert of the powers will not have serious consequences for their diplomatic negoti ations, but it will render their task more difficult, inasmuch as nothingso increases Chinese . presumption and insolence as the knowledge that harmony in the ranks of their opponents has been disturbed. The action of the United States Is equiv alent to an abandonment of the common interests of Occidental civilization and probably will lead to a prolongation of this bloodshed." ' London, Sept. 24 The Standard, which discusses editorially the replies of the United States government, says: v "The policy .thus laid down implies the existence at Washington of a very exag gerated estimate of the good will of the Chinese rulers. It is to be feared that the action of the United States will tend to weaken the moral influence of tbo al lies, and for this reason it is to be greatly regretted," . - The Plain Truth.. - Henderson Gold Leaf. - - One of the things said of Mr. Simmons, for the purpose of discrediting him in his candidacy for the United States senator- ship, is that, he is more oi a politician than a statesman. Then his record as State chairman is pointed to and ; while he is given credit for success three times achieved while in that position and ac cording to their logic if this should not be argued - against, him it should not count in his favor. The Windsor Ledger thus pays its respects to this class: " . The men who carried this election, the men who wore red shirts, the men. who construed the election law stringently, the men who held the polls, the men who planned tne campaign, tnese Democrats, are the peers of any man who complains, and good enough to be given the best that the party which they put in power has to Kive. V:: yJ'i' If there is - anything the people shun and suspect it is the political purist too good to help carry the election but just good enough to get office after the elec tion is carried. ,. vfbj K1b Fall In th BtrMta, Little Dot I don't like to stay ia Vsa bouse like this, what makes it rain hard?, , Careful Mamma So that the gxaa can grow and the flowers come out. dear?

STATE HEWS. Intereating North Carolina Items In Condensed Form. It is probable that a carpet factory will be established soon at Charlotte. Mr. Joseph II. Sossamon,: a trimmer in the shop of J. W. Wadsworth's Sons at Charlotte, was run over by the street car and killed Saturday night. Simmons is quoted as saying: "I am in touch with all parts of the State and ' it the senatorial primary were held now I am sure I would get at least 50,000 majority. I see no reason for anything save an increase in these figures." The trial of C M. Davis, for the murder of J. L. Odell at Bessemer City on May 25tb, terminated at Dallas Saturday afternoon. The jury rendered a verdict ' of murder in the second degree and re commended to the court that the prisoner be given the. full penalty of , the law. " Judge Shaw gave Davis the maximum Sumshment prescribed by law for; mur er in the second degree, to-wit: thirty years at hard labor in the penitentiary. Sanford ; Express: Two hundred and fifty sheep were recently, shipped from Sanford to a sheep ranch on the Southern Kail way in Virginia. Tfiey, were picked up from ; the farms of Moore. Chatham and Harnett counties, and as they were in poor condition the ranchmen purchas ed them for a mere song. After grazing in the Shenadoah Valley for afew months these sheep will sell lor $5 and $0 apiece. Every summer the farms of this section are stripped of their sheep in their wav. Shipments of cattle are also occasionally made from this section to cattle dealers ' in the Old Dominion, j-' WinBton Republican: A Mr. Clark, living near Summerfield, Guilford county, has a horse that has not been out of its stall for 15 years. The animal is glossy black and as sound - as a dollar Its mane and tail have grown to be very long, and its hoofs, which have never . been ehod.look like snow shoes. The owner is said , to be devoted to the animal and tends it with great care. He has refused big prices for the horse. Why the animal is thus imprisoned we have never heard definitely. ' Perhaps some of our readers in that section, or the owner, will tell us. It looks very much like cruelty to ani mals. At Williamston on Saturday night, about 9:30 o'clock, Miss Jennie Moore, daughter of the late Hon. James E. Moore, and Mrs. Roland Ilobbs, son of Mr. A. J. Ilobbs, clerk of the superior court of Martin county, were shot by Mr. Jos. B. Bennett, son of ex-Register . of Deeds W. 11. Bennett. Mies Moore had discarded young Bennett that morn ing, after having been engaged to him for three years. Miss Moore was shot through the left lung and Mr. Ilobbs through the right hip. The doctors think tbo young lady will .die ' but the iroung man will recover. Bennett has eft for parts unknown. - , On the trial docket of New nanover . superior court, which met Monday, are two suits against the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad company, of South Caro lina, for $25,000 each. They were brought by Joseph C. Shepard. Jr.. a Erominent druggist of Williamston and is wife, Winfred B. Shepard. The two were thrown from a buggy by a collision with cne of the trains of the defendant company on January 12, 1000. It is set forth in the complaint that Mrs. Shepard was permanently injured, and that Dr. Shepard was seriously hurt. The accident, it is claimed, was due to the company's failure to have a watch man at a turn in the road where a deep cut and a number of freight cars pre vented plaintiffs from seeing the ap proaching train, and in running the train within the city limits at a rate of speed greater than permitted by the city ordi-. nances. s In a row over a dog Leonard Roberta was shot and killed by Geo. 8.
