Tho Bible ON Fraud.

Knowest thou not this of old, since
man was placed upon earth;
That the triumphing of the wick
ed is short, and the joy of the hypo-
critic but for moment?
Though his Excollency mount up
to the heavens, and his head unto
the clouds:
Yet he shall perish forever like his
own dung; they which have seen him
shall say, Where is he?
He shall fly away as a dream: yea
he shall be chased away as u vision
of the night.
That which he labored for shall he
restore, and shall not swallow it
down: according tohis substance shall
the restitution be, and he shall not
rejoice therein.
Because he hath oppressed and
hath forsaken the poor, because he
hath violently taken away an house
which he builded not.
Surely he shall not feel quietness
in his belly; he shall not save of that
which he desirod.-J6b ar, 5-S, 1920.
Now that proofs of fraud in count
ing Louisiana and Florida for Hayes
have become overwhelming, great
many Republicans are trying to

A Social Scandal.


la LOCAL PREACHER CHARGED WITH
BAsTARDY-THE PLAINTIfF NEGRO
WOMAN.
Amid the various social scandals that
are now being spoken Of in various parts
of the city, Is one which bids fair to as
sumo a legal aspect, as one OF the partici.
pants is about to be arrested and tried
for bastardy.
This is the case Of young and likely
mulatto woman, who recently gained adj
mission to the Almshouse TO receive
proper treatment during the delicate con-
dition in which her previous indiscre-
ton had placed her. A few days ago
she gave birth TO child, and afterwards
gave to the Trustees, Messrs Guthrie and
and Lackey the astounding informant on
that the father of the child was none
other that a well-known local preacher
of this city. She made affidavit TO this
fact before Justice Of the Peace, who
was sent for at her request, and the
usual suit against him was made in
order TO require him to indemnify the
County for the expenses of the woman's
confinement, and to provide for the
maintenance of the child. The hearing
was to have come off this morning, but
was postponed on account of the absence
of the defendent's counsel.
