Dr. Land rum Pleased With-His New Charge. Forest City, X. C, Feb. 9, 1901. To the People of Kutherfokdtos : I wish to ask the favor of your col umns to say a few things to the kind people of your town, and first let nie give expression of mv high appreciation of their universal kindness to me ; but more especially to those who were so very kind and considerate of me and my comfort during my recent protract ed illness I shall ever hold them iu grateful remembrance, and I can only say G d bless one and all of them. Let me also express my thanks to the broth er who so kindly contributed to my ne cessities on the morning of my depart ure. I mention no name, and as there was but one, he knows to whom I refer. I regretted very much to leave Ruther fordtcn, but it is pleasant to know that I am still in call of yon. Xow as to my charge. The good peo ple of Forest City sent teams and moved me here, and on arrival I found the house all warmed up, and three good loads of wood to keep it so. There was plenty of help brethren, sisters and friends to take hold and lay carpets and adjust everything to its proper place, and then they swarmed upon the old feeble pastor at night and adminis tered a full-fledged pounding. It left me none the worse, however, but with a full larder for the house-wife, and some cash with which to procure more. I ask who can beat Forest City in ad ministering to the comforts of its pastor? I felt that it was due this people- that I should say this by way of my high ap preciation of their kindness. I pray that I may prove worthy of it. Yours sincerely, M. M. Landkum. -Our u'u frit mi, Joha Karris of Pick- en- . C, was h the city 3ioa' R. M.

The condition of affairs in Kansas, brought about by the smashing brigade, is a scandal which would not be per mitted in any other state in the Union. When the campaign opened, it was regarded as other new fads, likely to pass off without much repetition ; but the persistence with which it has been kept up shows that there must be some thing wrong about the people them selves. Barrooms in spite of law are bad enough, but the exhibitions by Mrs, j Nation and her sympathizers are equal ly bad. Both stand before the public iu the light of lawbreakers, who should be promptly visited by the penalties of out raged law. If Kansas has a lawabiding element in her population, it is about time it was making itself felt. Atlanta Constitu tion. '. school being oat teacher. Br.
