CHARGE II.
Teaching that the church is fountain of
divine authority which, apart from the Holy
Scripture, may and does savingly enliehteu
men, which is contrary to the essential doc
trine of the Holy Scripture and of the standards
of the said church, that the Holy Scripture is
most necessary and the rule Of faith and
practice"
The specifications cite, in support of these
charges the following quotations from the
Divine authority ia the only authority to
which man can yield implicit obedience, on
which he can rest in loving certainty and build
with joyous confidence. There are his
torically three great fountains Of divine au-
thority-the Bible, the church and the rea-
son."
The authority of the church.-The majority
of Christians from the apostolic age have found
God through the church. Martyrs, saints,
fathers and schoolmen, the profoundest intel
Iects, the saintliest lives have had this exper-
fence. Institutional Christianity has been to
them the presence chamber OF God. They have
therein and thereby entered into communion
with all saints. 1t is difficult for many Protes-
tants to regard this experience as any other
than plous illusion and delusion. But what
shall we say of a modern like Newman, who
could not reach certainty striving never SO
hard through the Bible or the reason. but who
did find divine authority in the institutions Of
the church 2:
THE autho rity Of Holy Scripture.-We have
examined the church and the reason as seats OF
divine authority in an introduction to our
theme. the authority of the Scriptures, because
they open our eyes to see mistakes that are
common to the three departments. Protestant
Christianity builds its faith and life on the d.
vine authority contained in the Scriptures. and
too often depreciates the church and the
reason. Spurgeon is an example Of the aver
age modern evangelical, who holds the PrOtes-
tant position. and assails the church and reason
in the interest of the authority OF Scripture.
But the average opinion OF the Christian world
would not assign him a higher place in the
kingdom OF God than Martiueau or Newman.
May We not conclude, on the whole, that these
three representative Christians OF our time,
living in or near the worlds metropolis, have,
each in his way found God and rested on di-
vine authority? May we not learn from them
not to depreciate any Of the means whereby
God makes himself known to men? Men are
inhuen need by their temperaments and environ
ments which of the three ways Of access to God
they may pursue"

ofThomas Dixon at Charlotte, NC.
RICHMOND, Va, March 16.-A special
to the Times from Charlotte, N c., says:
ID. +. Dixon, of this city, has just re-
eeived word Of the fatal burning of the
wife and two children of his son, Thos.
Dixon. at Rutherfordton, N. C. The
fire occurred last night about o'clock.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
CHARLOTTE, NC, March 1G.-Another
account OF the fatal fire at Rutherford

left the room in which her children
were. and in her absence the three. year.

screams brought the mother back. A
colored man named Alex Nc Entire, who

Poultry Profits.

There are great numbers of people who
have multiplied in their minds the profits
on small numbers of egg producers and
marketed poultry and attempted to real
ize the magnificent totals. Good prices
were had and the demand was ample for
all they produced, and yet failures were
scored. The Homestead indicates some
of the causes OF the failure in this:
Men undertake the work who are not
adapted to it. They have not the neces-
sary patience; they are not possessed
with the required amount OF pluck; they
are too easily discouraged; they are care
less in the performance of their duties.
Men undertake the work without capt.
tai. They are compelled to ask for credit;
they have nothing with which to back up
their work.
Men assume the work on too large a
scale. They really "bite off more than
they can chew;' they are compelled to
hire help, which seldom is worth any
thing Again. men undertake farms with
out any knowledge OF the work and must
hire it all done. Poultry makes poor
investment without personal care and
attention.
Men are apt to be given to the building
of air castles, and under such decisions
they enter the work, but only to fall
behind and eventually drop out.

Poultry Culture South.

Persons not specially interested in the
subject can have but little idea of The
rapid progress that fancy, or thorough
bred poultry is m aking in the South.
Indeed it is difficult for the fanciers
themselves to fully realize the great
improvement of our domestic fowls. In
the ante bellun days, and for several
years after the great struggle, the only
class of fowls of any special note on the
Southern plan misunderstanding pos
sbly, a few of the Brahma or Cochin
varieties of questiOnably purity-were
the Pit games, variety OF fowls that
then as we'll as now, were admired for
their pluck and graceful carriage, and
which were kept for ornament, and also
amusements and sporting occasions.
In fact, the game chicken was the only
one worthy of special mention in our
Southland up to very recent period.
Even with the advent of other and more
practical fowls, this noble bird, the South
ern breed game cock, still holds his own
in point of courage and invincbility
wherever he may be.
But, with the turn OF the Southern
minds from the old chivalrous times to
more modern ideas. and the transforma-
ton of the Southern soldier into theSouth-
ern miner, manufacturer, and merchant,
as we'll as advanced agriculturist, comes
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1893-01-25

the demand forimproved live stock which
includes poultry of the higher type. And,
so it is, there comes up from all parts of
the South call for information on the
relative value Of the old time ordinary
mongrel fowl and the thoroughbred that
for some time past has had strong foot
hold in the North, and also for facts and
figures with which to determine which is
the most desirable of the various breeds
of thoroughbreds, each OF which has it's
advocates.
A most potent factor in awaking and.
maintaining this desire for tie best
grade of fowls, is the poultry show,
which has become fixture in cur South
ern cities. Through this Instrumental
ity great interest has been aroused, and
much good has been done, and the
Southern fanciers will stand in their
own light if they do not encourage and
help to sustain poultry exhibitions when
ever and wherever practicable. For,
second only to the press, is the poultry
show as a champion OF pure-bred fowls.
The progress of pure fowls, however,
is like that of a rolling snow ball, it
gathers strength and size as it goes.
They advertise themselves, and in every
locality where trio, or half dozen high
class birds are Introduced, There is with
in a short time fifty or hundred Of the
same kind, so rapidly do they increase:
and so great is the demand for them.
1t is not our province to say which, in
our opinion, is the best breed, for every
variety Of thoroughbred fowls possess
characteristics that make it much
superi Or to the dunghill kind, and each
variety also has its friends and admir-
ers.
Here again is the value of lie exhibit
ton hall, both to the breeder and pur-
chaser, for there the inexperienced can
see and select for himself that which he
most admires.
The merits of thoroughbred foN Is are:
Rap;dity of growth, increased weight and
flesh, also beauty, and above all, snpe-
riority in egg production, for q thorough
bred hen of the best-lAying strains will
lay twice as many eggs in year as the
m0ngrel hen. These facts are we'll
worthy Of investigation, and are suffi-
cient to Justify the great interest now
being taken in high-class poultry

Feeding Chickens.

Milk is one OF the best articles that can
be used in connection with poultry, either
young or old, or whether used to wet
their food or for drink, or both ), and
where the focks are sufficiently numer-
Gus to consume all the skim milk from a
cow, and the animal can conveniently be
kept, it is profitable to do so. Sour milk,
and particularly sour bonny clabber,
sometimes causes trouble with young
chickens-but not generally; it is well,
therefore, TO feed cautiously at first and
to carefully watch it's effect.
Animal food and green food are as
important for chickens as fowls, and the
same kinds used for the latter are equally
good for the former, but as a rule. the
younger the chickens the more watchful-
ness necessary in feeding them.
Charcoal is a very valuable assistant in
raising chickens, though seldom spoken of
in poultry publications, but we regard it
as Of vital Importance. 1t assists diges-
ton, and hence cOrrects or prevents a
multitude of evils. 1t need not be COM
pletely pulverized, but should be well
broken up and placed in shallow pans, or
on bits of boards, or on the stills of the
brooder houses, or in various places
about the premises where it will be read
lily discovered by the chickens. This sim
pie suggestion should not be forgotten.
The more dry grain and the less moist
food given to chickens, the more drink
they willrequire. Weare in favor of keep
ing water Or milk before them and per-
hitting them to drink all they want,
because otherwise they may become
excessively thirsty, and when watered
may drink enough to iniure themselves.
Their drink should be given in such man.
ner as to prevent them from wettiDg
their feathers, especially in winter. Where
drinking fountains, which admit only

arrangement such as placing their drink

that, notwithstanding two petitions

other for ]. p. Smoker, Esq, each
distinctly requests the candidacy to be
independent Of party politics. Both
are receiving many siLuers Of all
