M The bishops of the Meth.

@ The bishops of the Meth
odist Episcopal church South,
have decided that the sale of in
toxicating liquors, by the large. or
small quantities, constitutes a vi
Oiation of the Methodist law as
found in the article of the general
rules requiring the avoidance of
evil of every kind and the doing
Of no harm. Under this ruling
the Augusta district conference
recently passed the following res
olutions:
That the members ofour church
are most earnestly exhorted 10
separate themselves from a traffic
condemned by good morals, Meth
odlst rules and the Holy Script
ures.
That our pastors are hereby
called upon to judiciously, yet
firmly, enforce the ruling of our
bishops as to the law OK the church
with respect to the sale of intoxi.
eating liquors.

% Dispatches give the de-
tails Of the Infamous Mountain
Meadows massacre. For nearly
eighteen years the Mormons have
rested under the dark suspicion of
responsibility for this horrible
crime, and at last that suspicion
gives place to certainty. The
terrible s.ory-as told by one of
the participants, elected on the
trial Of John d. Lee-is too cir.
cumstantial to admit Of doubt, end
is said to be fully corroborated by
the yet suppressed confession Of
Lee. 1t is clearly shown that the
massacre was ordered by the
Council of Bishops of the Church,
that the property of the murdered
emigrants was placed in the care
of Church officials, and that Brig
ham Young was at least an aces
sory after the fact. 1t is one Of
the most damning stories of mod.
ern times.

The Threatened Insurreotion.

The following in reference to the threat
ened negro instruction in Georgia, has
an air of truth about it, which challenges
credence
The counties of Washington, johnson,
Jefferson aud Burke, which are contigu-
Gus, and in which there are many planta-
tons, adjoin the county of Barneville, in
South Carolina. A scalawag calling him
self Major General Rivers, from that
county, has been apparently plotting with
the negroes of this section for some time.
They are very ignorant and degraded
body, and the leaders in this affair seem
to be "coast negroes" who have moved
into the interior
There are two distinct classes of negroes
in Georgia The Virginia and Maryland
negroes, who are several generations re-
moved from the native Africans, and the
coast negroes, many of whom came as late
as 1908. The first are intelligent, indus
trious, and peaceable, and are mainly in
the interior. The others are thick headed,
ignorant savages, who can be induced to
do anything wicked.
Through the influence Of this South
Carolina knave these last have been led to
form companies and drill and get ready
for war. They are alone The negroes
of the interior aud the cities are their bit
tcrest foes, AMI even now call for their
destruction.
The time for the murder to begin was

Accidents to Excursionists.

A fearful disaster occurred at Iona Is
land, summer resort on the Hudson
river, on Thursday afternoon, August ! 0,
whereby three or four lives were lost 1t
appears that four excursion parties went
to the island on the afternoon referred to,
in all numbering about 5000 people. All
went well during the greater part of the
day without anything happening to mar
the pleasant time. But when leaving in
the evening, when it was supposed that
all were on board, and the steamer and
barges were moving slowly away from the
dock, amid the ringing of bells and blow
ing of whistles, the attention of the officers
of the boat was attracted to six or seven
men and one lady standing on the dock
shouting for the boat to stop for them to
get on board The engine-bell was accor-
dinghy rung, aud the boat backed, and then
