C, FRIDAY APRIL 26, 1901. NO. 8. SAM JON ICS ON . WIXINCJ Of (HUltCH AM) KTATK. Atlanta Journal. There is no movement, especially in Georgia, looking to the betterment of humanity and the protection of home, that I am not profoundly in terested in. I have just returned from a three weeks tour, ahead of time on account of sickness at home, and I find in looking over the papers that there has been quite a flurry created by the announcement a short while back that the Baptist and Methodist churches of the state were going to organize their forces and go into the primaries and to work at the polls to secure for Georgia a legisla ture that would not be bossed and dominated by' the liquor dealers and boor brewers, uur-newspapers were not slow to take this up and already they have frightened many of the timid in the church and ministry into a non-committal, compromising attitude. Some preachers are more .J afraid of newspapers than they are of the devil, and some deacons perchance who have political aspirations fear nothing so much as they fear the frowns of organized parties. I -have stood at the front with my guns and seen them run many a time and felt in my heart; no wonder Christianity makes no more progressthan it does. We have only a few soldiers of the Crois-the balance of the crowd be long to the home guards, They drill and draw rations, but that s as tar as they will go. They didn't join the army of Christ either to shoot or be shot at. , They belong to the rear guard, and the crack of a gun or the tan oLa drum is warning enough to make them seek for safety in the ear. If there is anything that pro . 'duces the same etleet upon me as ipecac, it is to look on and "see the rank and file of the army of Christ fleeing before his enemies, and the would-be statesmen and wise men iumDing up shivering with horror and bleached with fear lest we mix church and state. A little editor who may not feel sufficient for the task steps aside for the ti o being and lets the big, brawn' rainy lawyer mount the tri- nod And Help save the country from the awful wreck and ruin that wduld follow the mixing of "church and at.qt.f.

I believe A , 1 - . . 11' i 75 per cent. ot tne taxauie property in Georgia is owned by decent, God fearing, 'upright men. Any man with brains enough to keep him out of the asylumknows that the liquor traffic nf.vo.r naid its way anywhere. It costs more to police it and control it and try the criminals made by it, over and over again, than the traffic ever put into the tills of the state. I do not suppose that the Metho dist church, in its oiganic and organ ized capacity, has ever proposed to get into a battle royal with the whisky gang, or the Baptist church, either; but I will say to them that they had liPt.f.nr do something, and had better ,1a it individuallv and organized both, The churches of Georgia today are I not ina war of conquest; they are fighting for their -existence, and I knowfwhat I am talking about. There is not afcity in the state of Georgia today; that will pit its church forces against the whisky forces, like we did in Mip,on a year or twd ago, that won't get woefully licked in the fight, Pastors may memoraiize ana . ine churches plead with the legislature of Georgia in vain, and one great big, piinny, bloated brewer" can control more members of the leg'slature than all the preachers in Georgia when the inane is made on the lines of sobriety and ' roncy. The demagogues and dirty politicians know the power and influence of the liquor dealers , and have enjoyed the rewards that came from them, and they know, on the other hand, that whenever the church of God makes a move ' that all they have to do is to mount a stump and rare and rave about the mixing of church and state. Then it's rats to your holes: lie down milish, he's going to bust a cap. i aont jenow wnat tne church, as an organized force is going to do, but I know what I will do I am going to shoot as long as I have got a gun, hit 'em as, long as I have got a fist, kick 'em as long as I have cot a foot, bite 'era as long as I have got a tooth, and then gum 'em till I die. Peripatetic, perfumed and pusillanimous parsons may take to the woods, and hell- bound deacons and stewards may skulk and hide, but I am going to stand on my hind feet and give them the best I have got in my Bhop. I am not mad with men, but I am mad with liquor and I am mad with beer, and if I could turn into a stick of dynamite big enough to blow every drop of both a million miles beyond the sun, I would willingly turn into the dynamile and beg a friend to touch me off. Mixing church and state a buga doo, a negro m a woodpile, a. scare crow In a watermelon patch, a ghost m a graveyard that makes the boys whistle as they walk on by, for it's whistle or run with the whole gang You can't scare me. gentleman, with your church and state bugaboo. I am not afraid of any legislature in Georgia enacting a law to pay the preacher's salary out of the treasury of the state or county. I am not afraid of a Methodist bishop presiding over the Empire State of Georgia, allotting her offices and controlling the legislature by his patronage. I am not afraid of deacons and stewards with the ten commandments as their guide and the sermon on the mount as their by-laws, taking charge of the state of Georgia and running it, but I do believe if the church would or ganize itself for the fight like corpor ations, liquor dealers -and brewers have organized, and spend one tithe of the money that these things have spent, that we could rout the gang in id put in place from the fyJ ' V i ItVJ. UtS If IX V llUl l Alfa AUfU who would legislate in the interest of home, in the interest bf Sally and the children, in the interest of our boys and for the protection of our homes. Tne truth 01 tne business is we have relegated the church to the rear and marched out in front of her the greedy hordes of men, the soulless corporations, the infernal traffic of M uur ami ueer, until wjuay me , . , . .1 u church is bringing up the rear of the i : 1 i i : 1 a .3 . i. procession from Maine to California, and but few preachers dare to preach the plain truth to their people with out humbly apologizing at the con elusion of the sermon. The church is not here primarily to pin wings on men and start them home to heaven, but to tram and drill and teach them how to be good here and how to run things here, for it is the fellow who is faithful over a few things that will be made ruler over many. We preachers talk of the church as a militant, but money is conquering the world, and the church is out of sight in the rear. Mixing church and state! You won't mix them in Georgia until you get the front ranks to halt and let the rear ranks, the church of God, catch up with them, and then they will be such strangers to each other till they won't mix much for awhile. This question is open for discus sion, gentlemen. 1 will discuss it through the press, in the exposition building in Atlanta, with any of you gentlemen who can get your nerves steady enough and your horrors to leave you long enough to stand on your feet and talk back -at a, fellow who is laughing at your horror, and got a profound contempt for your fears on the subjects Yours, ready to come again, Sam P.

It is reported by reliable authority that there is a woman living in the mountains of O.onee countv, this State, who is 20 years old and has 14 children and one grandchild. The woman married whet, only 11 years old and has enjoyed remarkable , health ever since. It is wonderful how these mountain people ignore the law, yet they attach very little importance to any of the laws. They do just aa they feel in clined to do regardless of the results, and it is very seldom that when any one violates the law it ia ever known outside of their mountain settlement. and while this woman baa been mar ried for 15 yeara it has very recently reached the outside world, it is doubtful if there is a similar case any where ou record. Eery man should be capable of keep ing his estimate of his abilities to him self,. - There is only one thing which wina a battle, and that ia straight shooting. A DEFENCE OF CA It II IE NATION. Ex-Oov. St. John In the rilKrlra. "The manufacture and sale of intoxi cating liquora shall be forever prohibi ted in this State, except for medical, scientific and mechanical purposes," is the language of Section 10, of Article 15, of the constitution of the State Kansas. The law to make this provia ion effective was enacted by the legisla ture of 1881, and took effect May 1, of that year. At the time of the pas sage of this law, competent judges believed it fairly met the rigid require mente of the constitution, but subse quent events developed some weak places in it, which the legislature from time to time has strengthened by amendment, until to-day it ia ampl aufficient, if honeatly enforced, to bring to punishment all violations of ita pro visions m every part of the 'state From the inception of the law to the present time, ita enforcement har been bitterly contested, section by Bection ending in almost every caee in the decision by the highest judicial tribunal in the State, fully sustaining its provis ions. Back of thia opposition has stood tho combined liauor Dower of - the United States, with an unlimited cor ruption fund, which has been used freely to influence courts, jurors prose cuting attorneys and witnesses, and aid in the election of candidates willing to do ita bidding. Two of the most difficult things the frienda of the prohibition have had contend wito, nave been official cur ruption and political cowardice, the lat ter extending from the tillage, caucus to the White House. The judges of our district courts, with here and there disgraceful exception, have been honest and fair in enforcing the law, while the supreme court has given the friends of prohibition no reason to complain. But i regret to Bay that the same cannot be said of the prosecuting attorneys throughout Kansas, for it is safely with in the bounds ot truth to say that majority of them are very lax in the performance of their official duties in relation to the prohibitory law. It ia a shame and disgrace, but none the lesa a fact, that the citiea of Leaven worth, Atchison, Fort Scott, Kansas City, Kans., Wichita, and Topeka, are aa clearly and criminally in open rebel lion against the constitution and laws of Kansas on . the liquor question, as South Carolina ever was against the gen eral government on the q lestion of African Slavery. The saloon-keepers in these cities are deliberate, wilful, habitual criminals, who make their liy ing by violating the constitution and laws of the State. They have no re gard for the laws of God or man, and are utterly without social standing, or ove of humanity, and their business is a menace to the peace, purity, and hap piness of every home m Kansas, and yet these dtiea, with a full knowledge of these facts, deliberately and wickedly, enter m to a compact with these out laws, whereby, for a money consider tion, they are protected in their vile business. In a republic, voters are supposed to be sovereigns. They are the govern ment. They do not go to tne polls oa election day to organize a new govern ment, but to select agents to administer the government they already have. These agents are called officers. The constitution and laws are their instruc tions. They take upon themselves a solemn oath that they will obey these instructions. These instructions re quire them to enforce the prohibitory law. Instead of obeying their instruc tions, they deliberately and treacher ously join hands with these outlaws, and bid defiance to the will of the peo pie, hence a Carrie Nation in Kansas. Mrs. Nation is not crazy, nor is she a crank. She ia an honest, warm-hearted, plain, practical, sensible Kansas woman. Under the laws of thia State, every saloon is a common nuisance. Many of these nuisances have been al lowed, to exist in each of the cities named for years past, and Carrie Nation took upon herself the laudable busi neea of abating them, which every law yer knewa Bhe had a right to do, using no more force than was necessary to accomplish the work in hand. In abating these nuisances, Mrs. Nation destroyed a business prohibited by law. John Brown, by hia raid at Harper a Ferry, attempted to destroy an evil eanctioned by law. Now if we are to condemn Mra. Nation for her acta, then let the statues erected in the parks, halls, and other public places in honor of John Brown, be removed out of eight, and if both are to be con demned, then let the face of Christ be turned to the wall, for he took the law in his own hands, and scourged the evil-doers, and drove them by force from the temple. This act of the Saviour has never been condemned, but to the contrary it has always been referred to with approval by the Chris tian people of the land ; while Mrs. Carrie Nation stands before the world to-day as the bravo woman of Kansas, who, with her hatchet, has done more in ajew weeks to arouse the temperance sentiment of this country than has been accomplished by all the orators and writers during the past tea years. All who conclude . from what has been said about the cities that the pro hibitory law as a who e, is a failure, I desire to assure them that it ia not. Whenever intoxicating liquors are sold in violation of ita provisions, it is not the fault of the law, but the fault of perjured officials. Let it be remembed that the poorest enforced prohibition is better than, the best enforced license; for the evils in- I flicted by the liquor traffic under -prohi- uiiiuu am m viuiauuu ui me law, wnue under license, they are sanctioned by it. Outside of the larger cities in the State, there ia not one-tenth part as much liquor consumed as there is by an equal population in any State under license. We have thousands of chil- i if uren in our pubiic scnoois who nevsr saw a man drunk, and tens of thou sands who never saw a saloon. In Olathe, not had my home city, we have a saloon for over twenty years. We have public waterworks, electric light, paved streets, excellent telephone system, four splendid public school buildings, hfteen churches, and rarely a drunken man. I have resided in this, Johnson county, for thirty-two years, and I do not know of a drunken e -i . rri larnaer in tne county. Anere is not a parallel in any licensed territory of equal population on earth. Absurd Naniei. Baltimore Sun. A recent dispatch to the Sun from Raleigh, N. C, announced the final decision of the will case of Mr. Ice Snow. The dispatch also mentioned the names of other membera of the family as Hail Snow and Wnxf Snow. in tne same connection other curious names of people livitg in North Caro una were mentioned, nf.mely, Sharp isiunt, bin mick and .Early Dawn Such names are funny, but is not such nomenclature very bad policy as well as in very bad tate? A parent who in a spirit of fun fixes a ridiculous name upon his child perhaps does him a per manent injury. The naming of a human being is a serious and solemn affair.. The name is given to distin guish him as an individual from all otner individuals and the naming usually takes place at a solemn religious ceremony, lo make an absurd name a mark of distinction is as unseemly as it would be to-distinguish soldiers by dressing tnem in uniforms like circus clowns. A funny name is an ever- present disadvantage to a man. It be littles uim, makes him an object of ridi- clue, may injure him in business and mignt aepnve him o.i an chance of a public career, however well fitted he might be for it. A political convention might well hesitate to nominate a man uamed ice now lor rresulent or even for Congress. Some years ago the United Statts Government refused to record , mining claims with absurd, pro fane or blasphemous names, and some st-ps might be taken to protect human beings. In the legal novel "Ten Thou sapa a lear mere is mentioned a damage suit against a clergyman for refusing to baptize a child "Judas Iscariot." Clergymen now might well refuse to confer uoon helpless infants names of a character which might in jure them in after life. A Wall From Goo. II. White. Special to Char-lotte Observer. Washington,"" April 19. George H. White, the last of his race in Congress, has his lightning rod up for a govern ment job. He went to see the President to-day about it as he is. impatient in being off the pay roll of Uncle Sam. "I have not decided yet what I shall do in the future, he said. "Perhaps I may practice law in New York or Washing ton, as I have several offers. I shall not make up my mind, however, until after the constitutional amendment that dis franchises the negro in North Carolina shall be finally passed upon by the courts. If it is decided to be constitu tional JL shall give up my residence in North Carolina. I cannot bring myself to live longer where I will be a man marked and persecuted for my color. lne constitutional amendment m North Carolina is not aimed to the il literate and vicious element of our race. It is framed to kill off the negroes who try to make something of themselves; thoBe who try to enjoy the rights and privileges that our constitution is sup posed to 'guarantee to all law-abiding citizens, regardless of color. I paid a visit to my old home the other day and found that there were few Republicans left down there. Many, of those who formerly voted the Republican ticket have become Democrats rather than suffer social ostracism or be shot down in their track." There is a vacancy on the Supreme Court of the District and among others who are looked upon as applicants for the place is former Congressman Lin- ey. "I am a prisoner," says Aguinaldo, but I am treated like, a guest." Which causes the Boston Transcript to remark that there is nothing at all strange about this, nothing exceptional. "It is the American way of treating prisoners of war," it eays. Yes, as iu the caee of resident Davis, for instance. But, then, it is not strange that' the north is constantly trying to forget that incident. -Atlanta' Journal. Missionary : The progress in civil izing these savages is very slow."

I turns, and the city will soon be immune. W hat a wonderful discovery it was only a nunared years ago Dr. Jenner dared to proclaim it to the world, and it took twenty-five years to make the world be lieve it. Now every child that bares its arm to receiye the virus ia a living mon ument to the sagacity of that great and good man. It is pathetic to read how he was bounded and persecuted by the envious and malignant of the medical profession. How patiently he waited for time and truth to prove hia theory, and lived to see it all confirmed, and when he died a beautiful monument was erected in lrafalgar square to honor his name - and perpetuate his fame and memory. Our own Dr. Craw ford Long is entitled to a similar mem orial, not only by the state, but by the nadon, for although he did not protect mankind from a nestilence, he did give them immunity from pain under the surgeon's knile. I remember well when the patient had to clinch his teeth and strong men had to hold him while the doctor cut and sawed his limb in two. I remember when it was my part to hold the foot and leg that was being severed irom a poor sutterer, and when at last the saw had cut through the bone and the weight of the limb came down upon me I fainted and fell down upon the floor with the bleeding leg, But Evans never groaned. He lived to make me another pair of boots. I re member when at college, in 1846, I had a jiw tooth extracted and took what was then called Morton s liethean, and dident know when it was pulled. It tok me some time to get over it and as 1 was reeling back to college I met Pro- lessor aicuoy, ana in a hilarious man ner slapped him on the shoulder and daid: ' Hello, old Mack!" and he thought I was drunk and had me up before the faculty. My roommate, Uerrell uody, was with me and tried to exphia, but the professor wouident hear him and we had fun next morning when the truth came out. The professor apol ogized to me and not long alter invited me to supper. 'oor lint Williams was there good, loving Bill Williams. He was my classmate and I loved him, and mourned for him when he died. tie had charge of the Blind asylum, at Macon, for many years. Every now and then the boys drop out and the procession moves on. I read of every one and feel sad, but that is all I can do. A friend in Atlanta asked me the other day, "Why dident ou write something about Eugene Harris, your college mate and one of the truest, kindest- and best men who ever lived. ' "Of course, of course," said I, '-but what could I write." He was a friend m need, a friend indeed an aristocrat iy birth, a gen tleman in heart and manners. Lost everything by the war except the gen- was bom in him. He died poor and was buried by hia friends, but he was a big-hearted gentleman to the very last. How kind he was to my wife and little children during the war, when they were fleeing from the foul invader and I was far away. That's all. He was not a great man in any sense, but he had a great big heart and would have died for a friend. That's all ! If I can't find him in heaven, I shall be disappointed. My wife saya he was the best friend she ever had when she was in the greateet distress. Easter is about over and will soon be forgotten. I brought down Borne Eas ter eggs for a little grandson. His cousin dyed them for him and he was very curious to know more about them, and said to his mother, "Mamma, who; is this Easter man and where does he Uvt?" "He lives up in heaven," she eaid, "and his name is Jesus." "Ia he selling eggs up there?" he asked. How these little chaps do perplex us with their questions. Little Mary Lou has the whooping cough and dident want to take her jnedicme. -ii you aon i tate it, "said her mother, "you may die." "Well mamma, if I do die I will go to heaven where God is, and he will give me a pony.' I wish the grown up people were as trusting and innocent aa the children. "Suffer little children to come unto me, for of such is the king dom of heaven" ia one of the sweetest verses in the scriptures. The preachers may quarrel about the confession of faith and infant salvation, but the mothers don't want any better faith than is in that verse, and that other one, where Iavid said of his child: "He cannot come to me but I shall go to him. There is another remark that I will make - about mothers. No one believes her dead son is lost, no matter how wicked he was. The mother ex pects to meet him m heaven ana if he ia not there how can she be happy? uod Enowctn. we oo not. ah that a jvxr mortal can do is to trust Him and do good. Bn.r. Aur. A Fight Against Tamuianr New York, April 18. A mass meeting was held in Carnegie Hail to-night, to form a new political party, to be called "The Greater New York Democracy." The new party is formed to fight Tammany Hall. John C. Sheehan, E. Ellery Anderson, Peter B. Olney and Joseph P. Daly were among the persons who signed the call for the meeting. About 2,000 persons were present. Follow ing are the resolutions adopted by the meeting; ctwrl m I 1 j.u ta if nuereas, xammany nan is re- sponsible for existing abuses in the administration of city affirs and its permanent overthrow, is an essential prerequisite to the success of any at tempt to secure better local govern ment, thervfore. "Itesolved, That this organization be and hereby is irrevocably pledged to oppose the election of candidates at the coming municipal election nominated by the socalled Demo cratic city and county convention, to be held under the auspices of Tam many Hall." An address was issued by the meet ing which scores the present city gov- ernment, and declares that Tammany has run up the annual expenditures from $70,000,000 to $98,000,000 and has given the city a tax rate three times as large as that of Chicago. Then, the address says, that in an effort to "befog this unpleasant fact, Tammany has increased the real estate valuation by $743,000,000. Tammany is declared to be controlled by one man "who essays to dominate courts and coerce judges and whose guiding purpose is the exaction of tribute through the violation and nul lification of law." After a Runaway Husband. Salisbury Truth-Index, 10th. A prominent citizen of Salisbury was appealed to yesterday by a heart-brck- en woman lor help in finding out the character and residence of a man whom she had married. He has given us the letter for publication, and we hope that other papers which may see Ibis will do what they can to relieve this woman. She also saya that she wants a descrip- sion of his 6iz- and looks and those who aid in this hunt would like to have her description of him and if it is found that he has another wife, this is all that she cares to know of him. She says further that she is in awful trouble, for she loved him as dearly as her liie and adds by way of proof of her unfailing affection that she sold everything but her land and gave him the money. Thi8 man, who has left here, signs his name W. F. Clark. Mrs. Clark will be in ixmcord this entire week, and in Charlotte next week. Her address at present is Mrs. M. A. Clark, Concord," N. C. Mra. Clark says in a portion of the letter which we had overlooked that her husband had told her that he was reared in Harrisburg, Pa., and that th sheriff (we presume of Cabarrus) will bear her out in what she Bays. Also that her .runaway husband eays that he has lived for a year in Cape Charles, Va. Hard on Mn, Nation. Mrs. Carrie Nation was fined $500 by Police Judge McCauley at Kansas City Monday and given the alternative of leaving town before 6 o'clock in the evening. She was arraigned on a charge of blockading the Btreets. Ad dressing Mrs. Nation the judge said: "Missouri in no place for you. Mis souri is not a good place for short hair ed women, long haired men, or whist ling girls." There is no end of odd names in North Carolina. One of the best-known men in Raleigh named children after the States of the Union, and they ar among the most prominent people here today.among them being Dr. Wisconsin Illinois Royster and Mr. Vermont Connecticut Roy ater.

Mr. Mack Orr, aged 21 years, a son of Mr. Capp. M. Orr, was instantly killed at the works of the Laddell Company, in Charlotte, at 2.15 o'clock yesterday afternoon. He was caught by a belt and carried over a pully, his body mak ing perhaps 300 revolutions before the machinery could be stopntd. It was a high speed belt and the young man must have been killed the moment he struck the pulley An effort to transmit and receive half tone pictures by, telegraph between New York and Chicago, tried a lew days ago, proved a failure.
