Septejnber 2Sth. She goes at length to charge me with misrepre- , V renting the teaching of so-called Chris- , tian Science. Ir have four charges, to prefer against the system of teaching hat she represents. The first is, that , theologically it is not christian by reason ' t the fact that they deny the sacri t r acial work of Christ on talvary. They thW by. appealing to their Junda S sneatal tenet, namely, a denial of the -- ,vtl materiality of matter, and denial of sin, ' ihetefpre,' there, woukf be no Beedfor 'y r y Christ inv 1iis redemptive work, but -',, ' with the theological phase of this teach- '.. ing, I am 'not concerned so much about, l'. aif am the practical results, thus far v J i New Bern. jj- vf t The second charge is that hey have - fcitched to their theology a system of ' 1 treatment ' which they propose to call 1 dentific, that is what the name Chris itian Science means. I say emphatically ' sJiere is no science in their method of treatment that is original with Airs. ' Eddy They have borrowed some of the principles of suggestive therapefltics, and incorporated them in their methodwffnet a large number of people socially. of treatment. I stated this before. They come back at me and say that I charge them with practicing hypnotism, ' whereas anyone present knows that I did not use the term at all, and many ; well informed person knows that sug gestive therapeutics is a science all in ja class to itself, and does not recog nize hypnotism. They employed this in the case of the Parsons child when it Jay in a dying condition scorched and racked by fever, and crying piteously or water. The child was told that it . -was hot ill, and to get up and go get its own water, which it did-, and fell in the floor, half way across the room. Their suggestive theory did not work in this . instance.. I charge third, that they absolutely , deny a pathological condition. They ' tell ' me, in their reply that" there is a difference of opinion between allopathic, , jhoroeopathic- and osteopathic schools, ; of thought. This I grant at once, and ay that all three schools recognize a pathelogical condition. If they did not " the last xwe of them ought to be in the asylum, therefore, the Christian Science r method of treatment in unscientific. f ' They state that they treat medical U physictans with trje xourte;y, and an Tf instanci-of thi was when RiissHarrisort .qUtU up p v .lisii.ai ;oivhu v ' the other day, and hdeh him come and diagnose and prescribe for a lady patient while she was ill at the home of Miss .

Senator's Character Governor-Kitchin invaded the horns county of Senator Simmons yesterday and-' made .at Vanceboro ' vigorous speech in support of his candidacy for the Senate to succeed Mr. SimmQns. - The speech was delivered in the school house and was heard by several hundred people. It was along the usual lines of the Governor's speeches and was delivered vithN the oratorical effectiveness for which 'Mr. Kitchin is noted.' He did not fail to take note of the "indignation meeting" held here Thursday night and growing out of charges he is said to have made and he intimated, that he might come to New Bern and pull off a little meeting of hit SWOir. ' '' -'-.- " ..' -C "C When he had finished his speech, he said that if he had said anything dero gatory to Senator Simmons' personal character he hoped any one who so construed his remarks would stand up and say so. There was no response to this invitation. Mr. Vass Richardson of Dover, who is Mr. Kitchiifs campaign manager in the county, introduced him ' and de clared that no blots could be found oh Kitchin's record. Following the speech-making there. was a big barbecue and the Governor: About twenty-five people went from hgre to hear him, not all of them being sup porters, however. BIG CATCH OF ROCK. Fifteen hundred pounds of rock caught in one haut several miles down Neuse river by Mr. Isaac Meekins were yesterday brought, to this port and sold to the New Bern Fish Company. This is the largest catch of fish of this variety made in this section in more than two years and as the boat lay at the dock there were many interested spectators. The company shipped the greater part of the lot to Northern markets. they willfully force on' children this method of treatment, which ends in death. Take for instance the child that died on Metcalf street. The day before its death by scarlet fever, Miss Harrison was carrying the child around in her arms out doors, and showing it the roses, telling it all the time that it was not sick.' Another child in the same family died with fever, and he was. told that he wasn't ill, it was all imagination. A child in -Wilmington happened to an accident, which broke its shoulder bones and Other internal injuries, In the .excitement a doctor was rushed- on the scene--"by friends. As soon 'as. he had. completed his ex amination,, he. stated that 1 the child would get well if the hones were at qnce reset, though it would be deformed. The parents immediately told him that they did not need his services, the child died in horrible agony, on thf . altar -of as heartless and cold-blooded teaching as is to be found in the world; It is even, worse t than the .worship of the Chinese women on the River. Ganges, when' they -throwvtheir babies to . the crocodiles,, because '-of obedience to a religious fmp'ulse. - They are Uo ,'say the- least of it, humane the suffering Js only for a-momefit',o jtwoo "The long list of murdersf this character that this heresy has to its credit, is enough to make f one -shudder. am intensely opposed to anything that dehumanizes life and its blessed relationships.

' I am aware vthat Miss , Harrison is - legally ' practicing having obtained license . therefor 1 just a few months, ago, but I do not see how she has the heart to continue to with hold from children who cannot help hemselves, the services of a physician.

Be In the Parade Another thing that the management of the parade is concerned about is that the parade shall be the imposing affair that it ought to be. To this end the merchants are asked to begin now to make arrangements to be represented by floats and the owners of automobiles to be laying their plans to have th;ir cars handsomely decorated so that they can participate in the parade and add to its completeness and impressivenes.

At a called meeting of the Board of Aldermen held last night' an 'appro priation of $199 to aid in the construe- t ion of a public wharf at the foot of Pollock street from which boats plying between the city and the Fair grounds can dock, was made. President Clyde Eby of the Fair Association asked the Board to appropriate the sum of $200, but for appropriations of two hundred dollars and over, an advertisement of twenty days is necessary and to avoid this' delay, the Board, on motion of Alderman Ellis made the appropriation the sum stated. , Alderman Baxter favored the building also of a wharf on the Duffy property at the foot of Broad street, . but this proposition did not meet with the approval of the other members of the Board. .The city owns the "property on which the wharf at the foot of Pollock street will be located. RAT STOPS ELECTRIC CURRENT.

' ' .,.''' : . ..-'; ' Junior Senator Gives Vigorous Ex position of Democratic Princi pies Before Large Audience FLAYS TAFT AND ROOSEVELT Says if the Latter Sbxrald Chance v to be Elected Revolution Would be Result Before an audience of more than four hundred representative citizens and a number of ladies Hon. Lee S. Overman junior Senator from North Carolina last night made an address at the court house in this city. After being in troduced by Col. James A. Bryan is his usual eloquent manner, Mr. Overman stated that he was delighted to be a guest in the city and that he deemed it an Donor to appear oeiore sucn an in telligent audience. He stated for the benefit of the ladies that he was not in favor of woman's suffrage, desiring rather to see the ladies remain in their proper sphere, crowned and exalted by all. " Instead of lambasting the Republi can party Mr. Overman took up his time principally in telling what his own party had done and was doing for the good of the people. He said that it was the desire of every Democrat in the Senate to give the country and es pecially the South ,good roads, free schools and deeper waterways and that they, were working toward this end although being balked at every move by the Repulblcans. An interesting part of the Senator's address was his discussion of Col. Roosevelt. He said Roosevelt was a great man in some ways but that this very( greatness would, if he were elected again, cause a revolution in this countrv which would be folio wed by bloodsh d and a general upheaval of the entire government. In a graphic manner he related some of the incidents in which Roosevelf and Taft are denouncing each other and making themselves the laugh ing stock of the whole world. Neither of these men could be depended upon to keep their promise, no matter how small, 4f the trusts who were backing them deemed that it would be against their interests. 1 The iron, steel and harvester trust came in for a full share of denunciation, in fact he literally jumped on them tooth and nail and ripped them up the back, explaining how in several in stances they had influenced the presi dent to veto bills sent up from the Sen ate which would have, if passed, saved the' people of this country millions of dollars which were now flowing into their coffers. This he said would be stopped when Woodrow Wilson took his seat in the White House and began to attend to the affairs of the govern ment without . first being compelled to ask the trusts whether it would be ad visable' for him to do this or that and being scared within an inch of his life if he failed to do their bidding. Taft, he said was a man without back bone, composed of putty, and that it was an easy matter for him to be ruled tby Big Business He told of 4 he tariff on sugar and wool which the Senate had agrreed should be abolished but after a majority of the members in the Senate had agreed to do this the bill Was - sent to the white house for the signature of the president and it was returned.; with . the words -"vitped" written across the face. , i Mr. Overman, spoke for maore than an hour and so eloquent and earnest wis his appeal that his. audience was held spellbound.. .'- " : :J '"V .

" k ?trkt Middling 113-4- ' " , Good IVnlMU-j 11 7-8 Person With Recollections of It as It Was 25 years Ago Would not Recognize It Now HAS AN AREA OF 2800 ACRES White Labor Almost Exclusively Used and it Suits Owner of the Big Plantation (By a Journal Correspondent) Maysville, Oct. 11. Perhaps the traveler of twenty five years ago and the same one of today would scarce ly recognize the Bert Rose Farm. Several days ago I paid a visit -to the home of Mr. C. D. Foy of this farm. I said to Mr. Foy, "What do you consider Bert Rose Farm comprises?" This place and the homes of my im mediate neighbors containing an acre age of 2,800 acres and a population of 102 white and colored". I see you use almost entirely white labor. How do get on with this white labor?. "I am very well pleased with it." "How many bales of cotton do you gin a dayr "With a twelve horse power engine and sixty saw gin, we gin from eight to twelve bales a day." "1 see you have abot.t half an acre of nrapes. How much wine do vo.i make.?" I made this year one hun tn-d and sixty gallons of wine and could have made more, but I like to have my friends especially the young ladies, come and enjoy the fruit of the, vine wirh me." "What do you do with this wine? You can't sell it under the laws of the State." "No, but you know wine isTike the old woman's shoe, the longer she wears it the better.'" Mr. Foy has also a lot of nice stock and says plenty of salt and box lye during the summer will prevent cholera. Our folks down in lower Jones are up to the times on good roads with the exception of Mr. Foy and he is a great water way man for Eastern North Carolina. He argues this to be one of the greatest questions of this dis trict. He says every individual should be taught the importance of the open channel from infancy, as the height of our land is measured from the depth of our ditches and that subsoiling and deep plowing will avail nothing with out deep ditches. "How's politics with you down this way, he was asked. Are your people for Simmons ro Kitchin?" Simmons is the man we need. With Government aid for White Oak river and State aid to the tributaries we have the drainage question settled. Send M. Simmons to the U..S. Senate and E. McCutchen to the State Legis lature and we will get the desired help from State and National Government. "We raise lots of cattle down this way and have lots of milk and butter. We also raise some cattle for beef and could raise more if White Oak river and her tributaries were properly taken care of by our State and National government, and I think we could assist in busting the Beef Trust." Mr. Foy says he has a good pre scription for stock, raisers and especially the horse raisesr as at this season of the year much green and immature (6od is given the horse, which is very dangermis especially,, fortaggers. He says provide plenty salt and lime (slack) The efficacy of these -preventives is shown Si:-the fact that our cattle are not bothered wjth the tick fever, for where salt is the tick will not stay. If the government would spend as much on-the" Horn Fly or Buffalo gnat as it does ortthe cqw tick .we would be all right,- for the Buffalo gnat is our great est pest. ....
