MISSION WEEK •! Conducted By Bishop Strange —Services Dally » ' t By H. A. BIGGS In accordance with his engage ment Bishop Strange arrived Sat urday night the 15th inst. to be , here for the beginning of the Mis sion Week, notice of which has ( been given to the public through The Enterprise. The Bishop did not come as a stranger, for, even though he has been bishop for a . short time he has made himself be loved by all his parishioners, and by the entire communities into which 1 he has pone, and on this visit be was welcomed, not as a strange bishop coming to visit his people, but as a friend to the people at large. Williamston is to be congratulat ed that Bishop Sirange decided to give lb much of his time this year to it; the people of the Episcopal 1 Church are fortunate in having him in their midst in order to know him better, and to have him give, them information along doctrainal lines which might not be entirely clear, and the people of . the Christian demoninations are favored itf hearing him so eloquent ly and forcefully present the truths of the Bible. On Sunday morning in the Epis copal Church a large crowd, which , taxed the capacity of the Church to its utmost, came together to hear the sermon on "Man's Responsi bility to God." The Bishop took las his text the first verse of the first Chapter of Genesis,' "In the beginning God created heaven and earth," and the seventh verse of > the second chapter, "And the : l,ord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nortrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul." His discourse was to show the responsi bility of the created to the creator, and it was strong in every sense, of the word. At this service the Communion was offered, and an invitation extended to all baptised Christians. *" On Sunday evening at the Ma sonic Hall the sormon was "Man's Responsibility to Man, or Christian Citizenship." Iu the morning the Bishop showed our responsibility to God, and on this occasion it was showed that to a large extent we are our brother's keeper, and nre responsible to a great degree for the welfare, happiness, and spirit ual condition of our fellowmen. Coming along this line the Bishop said he wanted to say a few, but earnest words in regards to Prohi bition. The argument which he made was most effective, and, it is saidj expressed the opinion of our most prominent citizens He urged the voters to consider their re sponsibility to their fellowmau.and asked tliem to give the matter care ful consideration, and to vote for State Prohibition. In the evenings during the week the Bishop has traced the soul's pilgrimage. On Monday night he preached on "Salvation," 6aying we aft not only saved from eternal fire, but from ajl harmful things present and to come; his next step was "Repentance," which is thought by many to have been his climax. The iheme was developed along the line of the story of the Prodigal Son, but so exquisitely done, with- such tenderness, and such brilliant coloring that one hardly realized that he was indeed listening to this old-time subject. On Wednesday night, the next step, "Faith," was introduced, faith l>eing such an uiitangible thing, something it which one has to use vivid imagination, was ex cellently explained. On Thurs day night the Bishop arose to an other climax in his sermon on "Baptism " He first gave some doctrinal views on the method of 1 baptism and 011 who is to be bap- , tised. Inuring the sermon he said there are two distinct families, that ( Adam, and that of Christ; all '1 are born into that of the former, j and through the sacriment of bap- , tism we are admitted into that of Jesus Christ, partaking, in a sense, j the very nature of the Saviour - This sermon was indeed a master | piece of el>quence and simplicity. , On Friday, and Sun , day the Bishop will preach on the 1 subjects as announced by THE EN- TKPPfciSB It is certain that these ; sermons will be as gre-it as those he j has already given, and that the us- \ ual large crowds will great him. , During themorningsof the week, ] in the Episcopal Church,the Bishop , has talked on the Beatitudes, and ] those who have failed to hear him s have missed golden opportunities s Bishop Strange, a native of 1 North Carolina, - whose collegiate , education was in the university of t the state is among the most disi in- , guished churchmen in the state. , He was fug a long time rector of St- Paul 's Church ia Richmond, Va., •ton is certainly fortunate in hav- ' f«g a gentleman of such culture, a , Christian of such piety, and a , scholar of such attainments in ita t midst for an entire week. It ia be- , lieved thai every one iimtowu haa 1 taken the advantage of hearing j him, and that»men, women, and | children have been blessed by bis 1 appearance among us. , THH EhMTBfcPRISE, WILLIAMSON, Iff.

It showed that what the Southern people really did was to t save white civilization from bar barism and anarchy; that the South . would been weltering in , negroid mongeli.sm but for the he r rote work of the Ku Klux Klan. ] Aside from its political feature, r "The Clansman" is a most beauti > ful and thrilling drama The ladie:- ! enjoy it as much as, or even more r than the men on account of its en [ grossing love story. The hero of f the play is a South Carolinian and > a Ku Klux leader. Hefalls in love . with the pretty daughter of; a , Northern man who has come South to organize the so called Black . League.

The County Commissioners held a called meeting Monday to pass upon the question of granting li cense to H. T. Stalling* to sell liq uor, iu the town of Jatm-sville. The Anti-Saloon people were repre sented by Mr. S. Justus Everett, who opposed the granting ol license to StaliitiKS 011 three point. Ist That the question whether a law ful election had been held was then pending in the Sttpreme Court, and knowing this, the Board should! not consider the matter until the j decision has been handed down. 2nd That the law requiring thirty days notice next preceding applica tion for license had not been com plied with, and that the Board could not consider the granting of license in any but a regular meet ing. 3rd That secti-n 2064 of re , visal provided that no applicant for liquor license who had been convicted >r confessed his 'fcuilt of any violation of the law regulating the sale of liqu >r, sh uld be grant- \ ed license. The records of the i Stipcri .rXnurt were br u«ht be « f re the B >ard and read, sh wi>u th*t Stalling had bee i envicted J >f two vi lati.M.s if the law not , Hating purchase tax and reta lin K without license. Mr Wheeler ! Martin, representing Stalling*, | argued that he was convicted u der an exp at facto law. This defense however, did not prevent his con viction in the Supi ir Court. At the conclusion of argument a vote was taken, C nnmissi mers Br >w i ' and Perry voting to grant liceaae '■ Chairman Salsbury diaaentia*. , sp stands the record of another iiWMlinK tt fta low* inu> 1 ! hands the honor ot the Cuitnty has been placed. This meeting was called at the reque£ of W. M. Per ry, and Chairman Balsbury, while realizing that the law provided for extra meetings, reluctantly called the Board together." Tt was,' t*y, the second meeting this year for, the convenience of the whiskey men, and the beat legal talent doubta that such can be done. Such frequent meetings at the behest of men who do not meet the require . ments of the law regarding the ap plications tor license, is in the minds of many of our best citizens, ; a lowering of the dignity of the Board, and a reflection on the 1 Connty as a whole. To the as sertion that whiskey men have ' rights, one can say that they have them only when no law is strained ' to its utmost to accommodate them i If whiskey men can get license when even those who are saloon s advocates object, where are we ! tendiug? : That Chairman Salsbtiry protest ed against the action of the board, is highly pleasing to all fair-mind ed men. He knew the right and >toou up for it. All honor to our chairman for voting on the side of sobriety and law. I PERSONAL BRIEFS J Mr. S. R.
