t;ie talked with many who have
Jived In town with thejr membership
back at their home church because
there was not a church of their own,

It a, Tain. Last year I gave several
certificates to our memto to join
other denominations, who had
moved away to places ' where we
had not a church. We are paved
through the blood of Christ's atone
ment and our personal effort, and
not by church creeds. If you only
lives here for one year, bring ;our
certificate and join the church that
you feel moat at at home and where
you can do the most good. Do your
level hist where you are, and If
every one would only do that, what
a revolution and, oh, what a revela

Every one shall give an account of

one by 9 o'clock.
She had lived a consecrated life
of service to her oomm unity, her
Camiily and to her God. She had for
years been a faithful and loyal
member of the Missionary Baptist
church.: Her entire life was . beau
tiful. in its simplicity, being quiet
and unassuming and ever in touch
with her Lord and Master, living
each day as though it were her last
She is survived by a host of rela

had been lived so as to win' the

The main passions and proceedinja
of the drama of Othello have their
ortyj in lago. In the' tirst act it
la evident that bis actuating princi
ple it; not revenge alcre. but A3
origittnal maligniity of feature. -
Iago first exercises his faculties
on Roderigo, trying to engage the
dupe (n a dishonorable quest of Dcs
demona. Here Iago has little trou
ble in working his achemei.
Dealing wflth the Moor is quite
another matter. There Is no way for
the villain to crush Othello except
to turn the latter's honor and in
tegrity against himself. Othello has
every manly virtue and his love la bo
oevotea xnat ne can even give up
war for it.
When once Iaso's . insinuation of
Jealousy has taken hold of Othello's
mdnd it does . its work with terrible
rapidity. The light of love and fi
nally reason leaves him.
Coleridge says Othello's Jealousy
ts augmented by the agony of being
compelled to hate that which is
supremely loved.
Shakespeare's poetical career is
divided by one author into four pe
riods. A few doubtful plays that
may belong to him, The Two Gentle
men of Verona, The Comedy of Er
rors, Pericles, etc., exhibit a cer
tain youthful awkwardness, harsh
ness, and immoderation. This first
period may have extended from 1587
to 1592. The years between . 1592
and 1597 which latter date marks
Shakespeare's highest renown and
brilliancy, must have formed the
'transition period. To ths era belong
Richard III , All's Well That Ends
Well, Romeo and Juliet,' King John,
A Midsummer Night's Dream, and
The Merchant of Vendee.
The full power of the poet's gen
ius is first apparent ta, his "three
great tragedies, Hamlet, King Lear,
and Othello, wihflch In their force of
tragic pathos cannot be equalled.
The dazzling wealth of Shakes
peare's humor Is display edi in his
comedies, Twelfth Night, As You
Like It, Much Ado About Nothing.
The pieces placed In th Jast pe
riod of Shakespeare's activity as a
poet are Troilus and Creasida, Julius
Caegar, Antony and Cleopatra, and
several other well known plays.
After an attractive and tempting
luncheon the club adjourned to
meet, with the president, Miss .Mc
Gehee.
Other, guests of Miss MdKinney
were Mrs. J. II. Walker, Misa Fitz
gerald, Mrs. Ivie, and Misa Emma

KIRKPATRICKK 13
A REAL LEAD MINEJ
A special Lcm Washington saya:
S. Klrtpa trick (no first name ever
revealeu;, Congressman-elect from
j tho Sixth Iowa district, promises to
be one of the inost interesting men
i In the next Congress. Recently he
wrote to House CJerk Trimble:
"1 Hat to thank you for all your
kind remembrances. By reason of
.loss or vision I am feeling my Je-
Jpendence very much. My eyes were
inmost oiaiAuy si-ot out Li mom
shiners and I am carrying about two
hundred pkces cf lead in my body."
The W'ofld correspondent wrote
Mr. Klrkpatrick at Ottumwa, his hom
and asked for particulars of jis
strenuous career. They came in a
dictated letter, written December 16,
In which he said: "I was born Febru
uary 11, 1842, in ladlson county, O.
I emigrated to Iow'a in 1S49. I grew
up between two rows of corn.
I served four years and four
months in Company K, Second Iowa
infantry, and was promoted from the
ranks to first lieutenant. I partici
pated in all of the prominent bat-
ties in the South and West, and nev-
er missed a fight or a foot-race, and
was never wounded.
"I was appointed internal revenue
agent in Cleveland's first adminis
tration. I was severely shot three
times by moonshiner. to March,
1899, I was transferred from Omaha,
j where I had charge of the Iowa,
Kansas, Indian Territory, Colorado,
Wyoming f ..d the Dakofas field, tj
the South, v.iiih headquarters at Ral
eifih, N. C.
' "February 25, 1810, in Orange
county, I had a fight to ' f tqrj
with Henry (McManon, am illicit dis
tiller. He used a shotgun and l a
45 Colt revolver. As a result my
skull was crushed, every bone in my
face broken, my teeth knocked out,
shot entered both eyes. One eye was
removed after the fight. I fired one
shot at my assailant, the ball pass
ing directly through his heart, kill
ing him instantly. I was tried for
murder and acquitted.
"As a detective I acknowledge no
superior. I have placed more men
behind the bars than any other man
in the service.." . , .
When Mr, Klrkpatrick left North
Carolina la&i spring ior ms oia
home in- Iowa he had no Idea that
he would be a candidate for Con
gress, lie went there to wind up
some business affairs. While attend
Ing a Democratic convention In his
district he made a roofliftlng, side
splitting speech which instniucted,
entertained and delighted, the crowd
that gave him the nomination in a
district which, as he says, once gave
a Republican majority of 9,000.
The Repuublicans and Bull Mocsers
of Iowa became alarmed at the pro
gress Mr. Klrkpatrick made in his
campaign for election and sent run
ners to North Carolina' to get
something against him; but the more
his opponents dlscussedthe encounter
that resulted in the death of the ne
gro moonshiner McManon, the more
voters rallied to him.
Mr. Klrkpatrick is a resident of
North Carolina, owning a pretty
home in the suburbs of Greensboro.
