The Durham daily globe. (Durham, N.C.) 1889-1894, 1892-12-21
THEY DID 1T RIGHT.

" o1A dSN
that this Old Presiding Elder of the
world cannot understand.
As an instance, when the Methodist
conference gets rid of a man-fres him
out-kicks him over the dashboard and
has him dropped into its largest soup
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, they mince
words and say that they have located
him.
COLONEL BILL THOMPSON, an auburn
haired yoomurist who writes plates for
The GLOBE, says that he is not addicted
to profanity, but if he was, he would be
damned If lie could see why they did not
call it "d~islocated."
However, we are speaking about some
matters which should not be treated in
any bat a serious vein.
The VI. f. conference at GoldsbOro has
decided that the creature ABERNETHY is
a fraud. The six men who were in
favor Of having it go on record that he
was guilty of immoral conduct, should
receive universal applause. The other
seven kid-gloved gentlemen who wanted
to call his moral laxities "imprudenCe,"
perhaps have a "hen on and know how
it is themselves.
With all the evidence brought before
them by the church, and the evidence
that had been introduced by laymen, it
was a bit of impudent brutality on the
part Of these alleged ministers to say
that the scoundrel ABERNETHY was only
guilty of "imprudence'when an outraged
and injured husband saw the willy whelp
doing things which made his blood SO
hot that he cared not for his own life,
but shot at the damnable scamp who, by
an overt and brazen act, brought re,
morseless sorrow to his hearthstone.
The man GBIMsLEY did not lie under
the bed in vain. 1t was only u~nfortu
nate that he did not kill the scOundrel
ABERNETHY when he attempted so to do.
THE GLOBE does not herald any of its
religion, but it does believe in common
decency and common honesty. And it
cannot too~many times congratulate the
Eastern North Carolina conference
upon its action in setting upon this bes-
tial despoiler Of homes.
Those who have read EUGENE SUES
Mysteries of Paris, will remember how
the dirty and lustful' brute, JAQUEs
FERAND, attempted to crafty his pas
sion, and of how the creole escaped.
The writer of fiction with a glee which
was fiendish, and yet which was en-
jOyed more by himself than by his rea
ders, caused the old money shark to die.
No one regretted tin fact it looked
like that upon earth heavens Justice had
been done.
The slum and scum of the earth could
not nave done worse than ABERNETHY if
G~RIMsLEY's story be true. In fact if hell
were to be raked with a fine toothed
comb, and the combined product con-
densed into the form of one man-lhen
indeed there would not be found the
equal of the loathsome and leperOus rep.
rebate who, under the cloak of christian
ity, goes to his friends wife and whispers
amOrous tales to her. TIL IRE is not on
earth, there is not in hell, and there is
yet 10 be born a man that low and aban-
doned who would not confess his de,
moniac and devilish crime and ask for
forgiveness, except some miserable mis-
creant who calls himself a preacher and
who, in the sight of COP, is an Unfinished
sewer.
This finding of the conference is the
bringing of glad tidings of great joy.
1t is the dawning of a new day-a day
the parents of which are Truth and Light
and Purity and Honesty. 1t is a grander
day it is a day born into a world of
wickedness and folly, and a day which
has been long needed.
This verdict is not alone in the GRIMs !
LEY-ABERNETHY case. 1t is a fat which
says to the licentious and lascivious hu- .
man wolves who prowl at day and by
night that there is such a thing as chastity.
and that a woman's weakness is not to be
tested by the strength of a burly brute.
