THE COMES.

Section 6 of the Anti. Chinese law pre-
scribes that every Chinese person not a
laborer entitled to come to the United
States shall produce a certificate Of the
Chinese Government, and declares that
such certificates shall be prima facie evil
dence of the facts set forth in it and Of
the right Of the holder to enter the
country. Judge Deadly of the United
States District Court in Oregon ha, just
held that the production of this certiti-
cate is not absolutely necessary, but that
a Chinaman without it may establish the
fact by other evidence that he is not a
laborer, bat a person entitled to enter
the country. This decision was rem
dered in the case OF Ho King, a Chinese
actor who arrived at Portland, Oregon,
but was refused permission to land be-
cause he had no certificate. Judge
Deadly, however, decided that he had a
right to land on sufficient proof that he
was an actor and satisfactory proof why
he had not a certificate.
Despite the presumed rigorous Anti
Chinese law, the same Judge has decided
in the same case that Celestial actors are
free to come and go among us at their
will. They are not ''laborers," but "pro.
fessional gentlemen" Under the Anti
Chinese law they are a privileged class.
When Mr.. Ho King reached Portland,
Oregon, from the Flowery Kingdom he
was not allowed to land, because he was
looked upon as a ''laborer" and had not
the requisite certificate to pass him
through the Custom, house. He appealed
to the Court and pleaded that he was an
actor and not a laborer. Judge Deadly
ruled that the law excluding both
skilled and unskilled laborers' applies
only to ''persons who perform physical
labor for another for wages. It docs not,
therefore, include an actor any more than
it does a merchant or teacher" The
purpose of the law, as explained by
Judge Deadly, is to prevent Chinese
laborers from competing with other labor
ers in this country. But" he adds, a
Chinese actor engaged in dramatic repre-
sensations upon the stage OF a Chinese
theater seems SO far removed from such
competition as it is possible for a person
to be-"

The Last Sermon.

Eds. Independent:
IT'S sad to break the many bonds
which bind mere friends together, but
more sad is it to say the last farewell
to those with whom we have been
associated for years. The preacher,
especially, finds it hard and feeling
task to bid adieu to the flock over
which he has acted as shepherd and
guide for many days, months, all |!
even years. All the occurrences of
his ministry appear wildly to his
memory, and as he glances retro
spectively DER the many sad and
happy, dark and bright hours passed
in connection with his charge, care
fully considering all-he yet feels
that no event in his past life can
compare in sadness and grief to
separating from his congregation.
How affecting is the last scene and
what a lasting impression it bears
with it. On last Sabbath, as previ-
ously announced, Rev. A. T.. Rogers,
of the First Baptist church, of this
place, preached his farewell sermon.
The very inclement weather did not
prevent the many friends and ad-
mirers OF this eminent divine from
attending and listening with atten-
tion to one OF the grandest and most
interesting sermons ever preached
in this city. 1t was not in any
manner farewell sermon Of emotion
but sound and replete discourse on
the care which God showers upon
his people. Never before, in the
history of his ministry in this city,
has the dearly beloved Rogers APP
peared to more pleasing advantage
than on this occasion. Beautiful
sentences of descriptive and rhetori-
Cal eloquence, sparkling with histor-
ical facts and learning, and con-
ducive OF proper inception of the
wisdom and inlinity of God, seemed
ever on the speakers lips. The con-
gregation was delighted with the
services. But the saddest part came
when closing the holy book and look
ing the congregation teEderly in the
face, the pastor SAID he had intended
to preach farewell sermon, but he
knew he would be unable to do So
that he had not that proper con- troll
over his feelings, necessary to such
an occasion. Even as he spoke the
tears welled up in his eyes and his
voice became husky and tremulous.
He said he had intended visiting the
homes of his flock but did not like
to say good by to his friends, not be-
cause he loved them not, but because
he loved them too much.
Rev. Rogers will leave soon to take
charge of the church Of his bOyhoOd
days, surrounded by his friends and
loved ones of "Auld Lang Syne,"
where we hope he may be given that
reward which his fine capacities and
good heart merit. While in losing
him our church has lost an able and
loving pastor, yet locking our hands
with those of his and his dear wife
across the chasm which his depar-
ture will make, we wish fervently
that their future may be happy as "a
fair summers day." with only suffi-
cient care to make it real. May
Gods Choicest blessings rest and
abide with him, and on. his labors In
the new field of work. U. +.

the late James Marshall, of Win.

Mr.. Cooke to friend.
1.-THE finest faculty of his mind
was his power of reasoning-his
clearness of Judgment. Ills MARIA

Webster said of Hoffman that his
case "once stated, was already argu-
ed" He was very rash in his char
tiles, unboanded | may say in liber-
ality. His power of labor was very
uncommon. / never saw such great
labor. He had the clearest mind |
ever saw. Ii witness or any one
in case was acting dishonesty, he
attacked him without mercy, He
was remarkable in phillipci. He had
a very keen appreciation of equity.
morals and manners and if they were
wanting on such occasions, he con-
ceived a great contempt for the in
dividual and denounced him bitterly
and powerfully. He had a great
practice"
David Holmes Conrad in letter
refers to him as ''the model OF lofty
courtesy. chivalry aud generosity"
Another said that when he died "he
did not leave an enemy on the bosom
OF the spacious earth"
This apparent hyperbole is un
doubtedly near the truth. He was a
man OF extraordinary suavity and
amenity-of unvarying sweetness OF
temper. In social life he rarely eX-
hibited any feelings of anger and
was characterised by remarkable
patience and benevolence. His gen.
erosity knew no bounds. He seemed
to place no value upon money. He
gave it away to everybody and to
every object.
He died in the city of Richmond,
on December 1854, in the 9th year
of his age.
WILLIAM SMITH, most generally
known as Burgess Billy Smith,"
was born in Sleepy Creek, about the
year 1747, in that portion of the
colony of Virginia which was sub
sequently embraced in the county of
Berkeley. He had an Unsuitable am
bition to become a member Of the
legislature. Shortly after the crea-
tion of the county of Berkeley in
1772, he became a candidate for the
House of Burgess, and continued
his candidacy without success for
several years, from which he acquir-
ed the soubriqu et of Burgess Billy
After the Revolutionary War was
ended, and the State constitution Of
1915 was adopted, dividing the legis.
lative department into Senate and
House of Delegates, he pressed his
claims for election to the House of
Delegates from year to year, but still
without success. When Morgan
was formed into a separate county
in 1920, he regularly entered the
field every year for seat in the leg
islature. AT the April election in
1S30,the aspirations and struggles of
Il long life were gratified by an cleo
ton; but the adoption of the new
constitution in the following August
set aside the election; and dashed
and disappointed the hopes of his
life. He never afterwards had the
heart to aspire to the place, and died
a few years afterwards, deeply i'm
pressed with the incapacity of the
people to select competent and prop
er agents to serve them. He was a
man of remarkable astuteness and
cunning and although.unable to read
or write, no one was ever found
smart enough to take advantage of
those deficiencies. He was said to
have been the first child born in the
Sleepy Creek Valley.
