this morning on the farm of Jack Dan
iels, near Lynchburg, Ned Wagon
er, his son Will and daughter
Mary and his son-in-law Motlow,
were found hanging to one tree.
All the parties are colored. The only
cause at present assigned for their fate
is that they were supposed to have been
implicated in the numerous barn burn
ings which have taken place in Moore
and Lincoln counties recently. There
is no clue as to the perpetrators of the
deed.
The lynching was done by mob Of
200 men. The woman was terribly

THE JEWISH SOUTH.

Christian sovereign and In the name OF the
Christian religion.
While would in nowise detract from the
glory and greatness of the Genoese explorer,
yet it has been sufficiently proven that this
continent was discovered by others before
Columbus. Prominent among these were the
early Norsemen, whose Viking ship was
brought across the ocean to the exposition at
Chicago in recognition of this event. But they
were heathens and they dedicated this new dis
covered country to heather gods In point of
priority their claim is valid. Yet would any
one say that therefore this is heather coun
try? But waving their claim, and granting
that of Columbus, yet Columbus took possess
ion of the land, which he discovered, in the
name of Ferdinand and Isabella of CASTLE,
who were Catholic sovereigns of Catholic
country, and it was the cross of Catholicism
which the discoverer planted upon the virgin
soil of America
Luther was born in November 1883, and was
but eight years old when this event took place.
The reformation had not yet taken place, and
Protestainsm had not yet been born.
Logically and consistently therefore, accord
ing to that method Of argument, this must be
Catholic country. Does Protestant Christ
ianity grant this
To go still more closely into detail, was it a
unknown seasP Did he 60 for the glory of
the church and the honor of God? Did IS
abella fanatically devout as she was, aid him
because of an impulse of faith, or by the advice
or with the sanction of her ecclesiastical ad-
visers? Hardly SO, for when Columbus first
came to Spain, in 1884, and sought the patro-
mage of the Castilian sovereigns his project
was referred to council, selected by Talavera,
the confessUr th>-4nAen, and consisting
mostly of ecclesiastics, who were presumed to
hold all the knowledge of the day. After
years of vexatious delay this body of ecclesias
tics returned the answer that his project was
vain, impracticable and resting on grounds
to- weak to merit the support Of the govern
ment." 1t was only at his last despairing
audience with the queen, when Columbus APP
pealed to the cupidity Of the monarchs, when
he pictured the splendor and the spoil of the
realms of Mangi and Cathay, that then he
gained his point. 1t is true he promised to
devote his portion of the profits of the enter
prise to the cause of religion, viz. to the re-
covery of the holy sepucher yet it was cupi-
dity that moved Isabella, and the prospect of
gain that secured her aid to the bold explorers
plan. (Cf Prescott's Ferdinand and Isabella,
Vol l, PIP. 346-7). Thus it was not in the
name of God, but in the love of mammon, that
America was discovered.
As for its settlement does any one say that its

the conditions OF things to-day, IN point o.
population, customs, manners and character
make this practically Christian nation?
In point of population, as regards numbers
merely, yes. The vast preponderance
of the population of this country is Christian
i. e. the vast majority of people are born of
presumably Christian parents, and when they
die, are laid to rest with the ministrations
of Christian pastors, although goodly percent
of them never affiliate with the church during
life
To what is it then do object in the use of
the term? 1 object to the coupling of the
name of any single creed to our government.
Our government is thing for and by itself,
utterly and completely independent of any in
dividual creed. Nor does it owe its existence
to any one of them, nor are the principles or
doctrines of any one of them incorporated in its
constitution or recognized on its statute books.
nor sponsor to our freedom. In the language
of Judge Stallo, II do not believe that the
spirit incorporated in our political institutions,
the spirit which caused our fathers to uphold
them, to be the spirit of Christianity"
want it to be no idle phrase when it is said
"church and state are separated" They are
so, legally and constitutionally, let them be so
in fact and in the knowledge of the people.
The constitution of the United States express
ly forbids religious test to be made in the
case of any man, seeking or holding public
Office, it forbids the interference in any way,
SO long as the peace of the community is not
thereby disturbed, with the worship of any
individual or the practice Of any religious body,
it declares that the public revenues and the
government shall not maintain or support the
teachings or doctrines of any one religious
community, in distinction to another. 1t has
numerous ethAr safeguards, which are intended
to show that while every conceivable form of
worship is allowed and it's devotees are pro-
tected in their devotions by the law and the
government, yet the law and the government
do not recognize any one form Of worship, to the
exclusion of Others nor give to it its special
sanction or patronage
And the constitutions of nearly all the in
dividual states, patterning after the consti-
tuition of the United States, have the same wise
and thoughtful provisions.
Therefore object to the phrase Christian
country" for it implies, contrary to the spirit
of our constitution, that one special creed is
recognized and given preference to. desire
it to be understood, for l say it with all the
earnestness and solemnity of which am cap
able, that not by tolerance nor by permission,
nor by the sanction of any other church, but
by justice, absolute and unqualified equality
of right and privilege does Judaism exist and
