Death of Bishop Pane, of the M. E. Church,
South

Bishop Robert Paine, the oldest
and one of the best known of the
six Bishops of the M. E. Church,
South, died at his home at Aber-
deem, Miss, on Thursday, the 10Th
inst, in the SD year of his age.
Robert Paine was born in Pear
son county, North Carolina, Nov.
II, 1899, but removed in early life
to Giles county, in this State. He
was graduated at Chapel Hill in the
same class with ex-President Polk.
He was converted in early life. He
was licensed to preach and admitted
into the Tennessee Conference in
1918, before he was twenty years
old. 1t is a curious coincidence
that his death occurred just at the
opening of the same Conference
which is now holding its annual
session at Franklin. For ten years
he was in the active work of the
itinerant ministry, and had much
to do in organizing the Methodist
Church in Tennessee. In the year
1929, he was elected President of
LaGrange College, in Alabama,
where he remained till the year
1916. He had been o member of
the General Conference OF the M.
e. Church five terms before the di-
vision in 1874, and at the General
Conference of that year he was
chairman of the committee of nine
which reported the plan of separa-
ton.
He was a member of the Louis
vile Convention in 1845, and at the
first General Conference of the M.
E. Church, South, was elected Bish-
op with Bishop COfer, of South Car
DINA, and became the colleague of
Bishop Soule, of Tennessee, and
Bishop Andrew, of Georgia, who
were elected before the division and
adhered with the Southern Confer
ences.
AS presiding officer and Bishop,
he was always prompt, firm, digni-
fed, but genial, and ever command
ed the love of his brethren in the
ministry who were subordinate to
him. He was present at the Gener-
al Conference held in Nashville last
May, and was the recipient of every
mark of esteem and love and vener-
alton which his brethren and friends
could bestow upon him.

HfHiHg to Donate HIS 6onds TO Save the
Honor of Tennessee.
To the Nashville Banner:
You did me the favor to print my
petition to the Governor and Legis-
lature of Tennessee for the repay
ment of loan made by me, in
common with many other unwise
people, to your State. Figure to
yourself a Tennessean receiving
foreigners in showing them over
the State-showing them the, mag
niticent State-house, the Hermitage,
her great railroads and pretty turn
pixies, and other dishonest work,
constructed with the aid Of other
peoples money. Imagine a Ten
nessean saying to these foreigners:
"Ali these things we secured by
repudialing our obligations with
our creditors" All this may seem
very smart to TenneSscans; but if
L had the misfortune to be born
among such people, the land OF my
fathers should not retain me sim
gle moment after the act Of repudi-
alton. / would appeal from my
fathers to my fOrefathers. l would
fly from the State rs il from a pes
thence and seek greater purity OF
thought and better rules of life
among the rough, uncouth miners
of the Far West. Reputation can.
not live. The Democratic party of
Tennessee cannot cheat and conquer
at the same time. Let the State
but commit the act OF reputation
and she cannot borrow a dollar in
the whole habitable globe. Tennes-
see cannot disgrace herself without
disgracing every Southern State;
on the same principle that all COM
mon snakes are killed because vi
pers are dangerous. The eyes of all
capitalists are averted from Tennes-
see. The finest commercial under
standings will have nothing to do
with States that rob. All just men
and high-minded men will loath,
are now loathing, the name of Ten
nessee. 1t is not for mere personal
agrandizment and few petty Of
fees alone that man is to live, but
for those great principles against
which no argument can be listened
principles which give to every
power double power above their
functions, and their offices, which
are the books, the arts, the aeade-
mics that teach, lift up and nourish
the world. Principles above cash,
superior to cotton, higher than cur
rency. Principles, without which
it Is better TO die than to live, which
every man in every land should
cherish. H
If it were not an insult to the
honest men of the State, would
freely donate my bonds to Tennes-
see, If by SO doing, i could prevent
the foul stigma of reputation from
falling on her. A CREDITOR.

The Case IN a Few Words.

Judge Archibald Wright, Of
Memphis, states the whole question
thus:
He took up the State debt, and
said every State that owes a debt
ought to set about finding out
whether they oweit lawfully. That
is the question for US to determine,
and whether we have any equities
to Offset it. He did not mean war
equities, for who ever heard that a
debtors misfortune invalidated his
obligations? The point to be de-
termined Is, are there any legal de-
fenses available in a court of equity
or law? No lawyer will say there
are. First. lie claimed the rail-
road debt was caused by bonds is
sued to twenty-eight railroads. The
railroads were bound to pay these
bonds or return them to the State.
Eleven of the roads failed to pay
the interest, and passed into the
hands of a receiver, who run them
at a loss to the State of about 81, 500
day. The State then had to issue
other bonds TO paythe current ex-
penses Of these roads. The bonds
Issued to these roads amounted to
$40, 100000 A commission COM

Rev. John w. Hammer, Jr
Gnrfnof4aId RaaOrd

Last Sunday night the above
named beloved Pastor of the Meth
odist church, this place, preached
his farewell sermon to II packed
church, and Tuesday he left US for
the Annual Tennessee Conference,
which convened at Franklin yes
terday, and before many of our
readers see this he will have severed
his connection with said Conference
and taken transfer to that OF Flor
ida. He goes there not of his own
accord, personally, but for the benefit
of that climate on the health of his
wife and children. He has been
with this peopole but for one short
twelve Notwithstanding which time
he has endeared himself to all de-
nominations, and has the universal
respect of all our people. He has
ministered to this people faithfully.
His deep sympathies have, at all
times, been with their bereave-
ments and with them he has min
gled his tears. Rich and poor, alike,
found in him friend and brother.
We bid him an affectionate fare
well, with many regrets that he
could not be with us longer. We
feel that ii will be but a short while
until those, in the beautiful land OF
flowers, with whom he will come
in contact will love him as the peo-
pie of Springfield do. Adieu until
we meet again.

Mckinney and himself was subse-
quently appointed 10 sell the delin-
quent roads. The commission re-
ported that they could not make q
sale unless under bill to be filed In
chancery, which would bring the
roads and all interested in them or
their liabilities into court, and make
the other creditors show If they had
any claim superior to that Of the
State. This bill was filed to FORE
close the mortgage with view OF
giving a perfect title to those who
might purchase under IL. Judge
East gave decree stating that these
bonds were not lien upon the
roads, and never could be. The
roads were sold for about 81, 600, 900,
leaving $l2, 900, 900 to be paid. Un-
less it can be shown, and no lawyer
will contend that il can be, that this
decree is void, il necessarily re-
mains that the State is liable for the
unpaid balance. And no lawyer
can deny that the State was, by her
sale of the roads, estopped from
denying her liability for this bal
ance. The State was not merely n
surety on these bonds; but even If
this were true, when the State takes
and sells the railroad property she
is liable for the whole amount OF
the bonds. No one would have
bought the roads If their charters
had been declared forfeited, and the
State had therefore no remedy but
to affirm their debt and sell them
out. The other seventeen roads
paid the interest on their debt, but
the State concluded that it would
be best to wind up her connection
with them, and in 1869-70 a bill WIS
passed under the provisions of which
the roads could settle their debt i'm
money or bonds, and the State
would relinquish her claim upon
them. They say that the legisla-
ture that passed the bill was bribed.
What have we to do with charges
of hribery2 II the legislature did
pass the bill under improper influ-
ence, is the bill therefore void?
Assuredly not; and besides there In
no evidence OF this bribery. Sup
pose the creditors bought up these
bonds for nothing; suppose Wander
0iit or Jay Gould purchased them
for song, aud presented them to
the railroads, who has right to COM
plain? And, besides, these bonds
were paid in before they were due.
If the railroads were sued and judg-
ment obtained against them the
State would be clearly liable for the
amount of that judgment; the cry
of fraud would not be a defense.
The Supreme court decided that the
bonds could be sold at less than par.
If the State had any claim OF fraud
to urge against her liability she
should have offered it before her
settlement with the roads. She
charged them dollar for dollar for
the bonds, and, of course, received
the bonds back dollar for dollar.
The purchaser had nothing to do
with the validity of the bonds so
long as he bought them in good
faith under guarantee of the
State. .t
