Monroe Bulletin The New Orleans
States takes the position that the Sou
thern question can only be permanently
settled by the abrogatlon of the Four
teenth and Fifteenth amendments to
the Federal Constitution, arguing that
an educational qualification will only
afford temporary relief. The States
is right. We, however, have favored
the educational plan merely for the
sake of the temporary relief, not think
ing the time ripe to agitate the abroga-
tion of the aforesaid amendments, and
trusting to time and the necessities of
the occasion to suggest further remedies
wheIp the educational qualification ceas-
ed to be Of avail. Public sentiment,
both North and South, is now rapidly
making in favor of abrogating the
amendments and we think it only a
question of time, and a very short time,
before the country will be a unit in ia
vor of the proposition.

LANCASTER, Pa, Dec. 26. A meeting
OF Lancaster Chassis Of the Reformed
Church was held yesterdy afternoon to
take action on a charge brought by the

who is over six feet tall and we'll pro.

OF his church.
II appeared from the testimony that
for sonle time past majority OF the con.
gregation had been dissatisfied with Rev.
Meckley and we're In favor OF requesting
his resignation. Paris Epler on nSunday,
November 10, asked Mr.. MeCkley to call
q meeting OF the consistory, telling him
that the business to be transacted was
personal that perhaps tho members OF
the congregation did not want him for
another year, and that II he did not call
a meeting he was not doing bis duty as
y minister, much less as q man.
AT this point, according to Mr., Epler's
story, Rev. Mr.. Meckley caught Epler by
the neck, and holding him at arms
length with Que hand, said: "Ii II wasn't
Sunday aud in the church | would knock
you down; II we were outside | would

The Body of . South Carolina Merchant
Rlddled with Shot
COLUMBIA, s. O., Dec. 25.-Willia.n
Martin, a well.to.do young merchant OF
Laurens County, closed his store at 0
o'clock Saturday night and started for
his home, but never arrived there alive.
His unusual absence alarmed his family
and caused them to institute search,
Sunday morning his body was found In
the woods, q short distance from the
road, riddled with buckshot.
Blood stains aud other marks showed
that he had been shot while walking
along the road, and his body dragged 10
the point where 1t was found. His
pocketbook was missing and his pants
pockets were turned inside out, which
leads to the conclusion that the purpose
OF the murder was robbery. AS II was
well known that Mr.. Martin had taken
in several hundred dollars on Saturday,
and would take It home at night fol
safe keeping, II Is evident that the deed
was committed by some one who was
acquainted with Mr.. Martins move
ments.
AS yet no positive clue has been found
to lead 10 the detection OF the murderer.
A Colored man who is missing Is sus'
pected, however, and II caught, and the
slightest evidence against him obtained
he will certainly be hanged by tue In
