Sioses-The PROSTATE state.


The dispatches last week informed us
of the Indictment by a South Carolina
Republican grand jury of South CARROLL
mas Republican Governor, Franklin J.
Moses, on the charge of grand larceny
and other fraudulent transactions.
The event viii serve one good purpose
at least-attract the attention of the
country to State that has for years
been ruled by thieves and robbers. TO
show the style of man this fellow Moses
is, it will not be out of place to remark
that petition was recently filed in the
United States District Court at
Charleston for the involuntary bank
ruptcy of Moses, Governor, etc. The
schedule of his liabilities is rather
unique. He owes Gen. Preston, for his
house, $4,000; Hardy Solomon, for Dor
rowed money, $4,000, and Generals
Dennis and Quincy, $4,000. Being
Governor, he ran up a bill of $4,000 at
his butchers; 1000 at the Indian Girl
cigar store; and 81 800 at his tailor's.
There is also due certain furniture deal
ers, restaurant keepers, shOemakers and
shysters $50, 900; a hotel bill of $500;
and 100000 borrowed from County
Treasurers. His total liabilities are So
p, l50, which also includes considerable
money borrowed from his predecessor,
Gov. Scott. His assets are but $67 900.
1t thus appears that the Governor, like
the State which he governs, has a mag
nificent stock of debts. The character
of the items in his catalogue of liabili-
ties shows that he has been enjoying
himself, Notwithstanding his present
distressed financial condition. To get
rid of some of his liabilities, as the dis
patches informed us, was the motive
for his fraudulent transactions, which
render him candidate for the Peniten-
tiary-BGnReT.

General Conference.

The General Conference of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church South met in
louisville on the 1st. Bishops were
present from all the Southern States,
and the attendance is larger than at any
previous Conference. Commissioners
were present from the Northern
church, with a view to meeting propo-
sitions for the union of the two church
es that may be proposed. Nothing of
this kind, however, is likely to occur.
DR.. HustOn's case, appealed from the
Baltimore Conference, was taken up and
thoroughly examined, and his expulsion
ftom the pulpit ratified. The COM
mittee appointed to prepare a report on
education have published an address
upon the subject, in which general
system of universities, colleges and
schools Of all grades is proposed. The
proceedings of the Convention thus far
have been harmonious.
Since the last General Conference,
Bishops Andrew and Early have died,
and it is thought two others viii be
elected at this meeting. The Publish
ing House shows an excellent report,
there being a difference of $l25,6S4. 69
in its favor for the last four years. 1t
has now a capital of S3I4, 037 over and
above all liabilities. 1t has a debt of
$219 $40, of which 100000 is reported
as bond account. The remainder must
be met by the debts now due the house
and its current business. DR.. Meier
rim, the Missionary Secretary, reported
that the total amount of contributions,
donations, requests, etc, from June l.
1870, to A pril l6, 1874 amounted TO 1894, :
466. The expenses for the same period
amounted to $lI4,339.
The Conference adjouaned Wednesday
after naming Atlanta, Ca, as the next
place of meeting.

We sincerely hope that the Centenni-
al appropriation bin is mt last done for.
IL has been n clog to Congress and a
cost to the country, and a great job in
all its parts. Few honest men Will re-
gret its defeat and its death. We can
not present the argument against it
more forcibly than MIR, Pheiphs, of
New Jersey, did a day or two ago when
he said unfortunately this bill calls
upon us TO shed, not tears (alluding to
a few sentences in Mr.. Frye's speech)
but money. Not money which we can
take from the surplus of an overlooking
Treasury; not money which we can
gather with easy hands by loan which
our children must pay; but money
which we must tax on the business and
property of a people which is not at
tins time rich or prosperous. And for
what? Not to feed our poor, of whom
we have many; not to strengthen our
defences, not to unlock our harbOrs,
not TO straighten our water-cOurses, but
to initiate here, on the soil of the New
World, a fashionable, gaudy, Old-World
pageant, like to that into which all the
principal sovereignties of Europe one
after another have poured their full
Golfers, and ont of which they have
taken nothing but disappointment and
failure.n We are glad it is dead.

Death of Rev. Fountain E.
pitts

Rev. Fountain Z. Pitts, pastor of the
West End Methodist Church in Nash
vile, and one of the pioneers of South
ern Methodism, died in Louisville Fri
day evening of pneumonia. He was a
delegate to the General Conference in
that city. He was born in GEORGETOWN,
Kentucky, July 4, 1908, and died in
Louisville, kentucky, May %, at 30 P.
NJ, therefore in his siXty-siXth year,
having nearly lived out the allotted
three score and ten years. He made a
profession of religion in 1920, and was
licensed to preach in 1924, when only
little more than l6 years old. He was
ordained Deacon by Bishop Roberts, at
Russellville, Ky, in 1866, and Elder by
Bishop Soule, at SheIbyville, KY, in
1928. During ministry of fifty years
he was in the Presiding Elders Office iif-
teen years. He was in the General
Conferences of 1882, '36 and 40, and the
Louisville Convention of 1S45, and sub
sequently in the General Conferences of
1916, 80, 81, '5S and 20. In 1885 the
Church determined to send missionaries
to South America, and Mr.. Pitts was Sc
lected togo as pioneer in the movement,
and in 1856 ne visited South America,
and established missionary posts, which
were supplied by men sent from the
lie was the first pastor of McKendree
Church ia Nashville.
In the late civil strife he took an ac-
tive part on the Southern side, serving
first for six months as chaplain of the
Eleventh Tennessee regiment. After
quitting this department of service, he
raised in the mountains of East Tennes-
see the Slxty-hrst Tennessee, of which
he was elected Colonel. During the
war he preached a great deal in the ar
my, and was highly esteemed by the
boys, who called hun the ''Fighting
Parson.n
On one occasion, when delivering a
stirring address to a corps of soldiers,
he told them that he knew no State
lines, for by parentage he was a Vir-
ginian, by nativity a Kentgekian, by
adoption a Tennesseean, and by mar
riage a North Carolinian, and at heart a
Banner.

Mr.. Stewart introduced a joint resolu-
ton in the Senate Monday proposing
the following as an amendment to the
Constitution:
Article IS. If any State shall fail to
maintain common school system, under
which all persons between the ages of
and Is years, not incapacitated for the
same, shall receive, free of charge, such
elementary education as Congress may
prescribe, Congress shall have power to
establish therein such a system, and
cause the same to be maintained at the
expense of such State.

Onr Taxes.

There Is an erroneous idea prevalent
that the people OF Tennessee are heavi-
IL taxed. A bare statement Of facts
win correct this error. Taking the
census reports Of 1870, because the fig
ures are more reliable, on a comparison
of the wealth of the States, we find that
the share per head of wealth of Tennes-
see Is S395.S9, being the twenty-eighth.
The taxation per capita upon each 81

we stand the S5th; that is, there are
thirty four States in which the taxes are

The Infamous Civil Rights Bill, the
legacy left by old Sumner to the Ameri-
can people, has at last passed the Senate
without amendment, and viii doubtless
pass the House and be approved by the
President. This is by great odds the
most outrageous enactment ever perpe-
trated by the American Congress. Il is
the death blow to public schools in the
South, and therefore the end Of negro
education. 1t is declaration of per-
petunl hostility between the races, and
win inevitably end in negro extinction.
1t Is a most damnable outrage upon the
white people of the South, and an ever
lasting curse to the poor ignorant race
1t seeks to exalt. Now white men,
