The Concord Standard Dem pub
fishes the following report OF = ser
mon delivered in Concord. Rev
Mr.. Alder man is a native Of Sampson
county and was . school mate Of tn,
editor OF TRE CAUCASIAN at Salem
High school. We take pleasure in
reproducing the sermon as given by
the Standard
Sunday night ST the Baptist church,
Rev. j. O. Alderman preached from
the text found in Bird chapter of Titus;
Put them in mind 70 be subject to
principAlities and powers, To obey
magistrates, 10 be ready to every
good work"
There are some things which are
not wrong, yet If TO do them is con
trsry TO law, We should not do them.
We ought To obey the civil law
whatever that Law may be.
God is no anarchist. He is not
lawless. Christ taught to obey law.
Ii is true be broke the rule Of the
Pharlsees about washing of hands
hut they were not the ruling people.
Christ never broke civil Roman
law. Christ paid tax. You remem-
ber how he got the money. lie SAYS:
Render TO Cezar the things winch
are C9Zar's and TO God the things
which are Gods
My text is suggested by the late
South Carolina matter. Four years
ago the opinion of the people down
there changed somehow or other
One set of men went out of office,
another went in. The first set got
mad and did't want to obey law
The former set were town people;
the latter country people. The fight
is city VS.. country.
The people wanted prohibition
and voted for Legislature which
passed the dispensary law forbid
ding the sale of liquor by the citi-
zens. This made the town people
mad and they said they wouldn't
stand it, they wouldn't obey the law
and that is the keynote of the whole
affair. Darlington wanted to sell
whiskey and do as she pleased. The
Governor appointed constables to GO
there aud stop this violation of law
But the hot-heads wouldn't obey.
Even the sheriff shielded the law
breakers. The people got guns and
began to curse. AS the constables
were getting ready to leave they had
a fight but got whipped. Both sides
shot and both got men shot. Both
sides were murderous. The consta-
bles took to the woods; the people
went after them to kill them. They
sent to Tillman for protection. He
called out the troops and war was
declared.
There are no classes of men. God
never did make classes of men. He
never made lords and serfs, kind
to rule and the kind to be shaved
In South Carolina town people con
cluded that they were the rulers al
they were rich and educated. | an
sorry for them. 1t was time for then
to learn a lesson. No one people
hold Gods patent right on all things
The South Carolinians thought be-
cause they are bon-tons they coult
do as they pleased. The North Ca
rolina newspapers say that Tillmar
is a hydro-headed tiger, a part O
pandemOnium, the quintessence OF
all that's mean, because he happen,
to be a populist and not democrat
I'm not populist, but am ashamed
of what my party is doing. | have
always been democrat, but | dom
know whether | shall ever vote i
| again or not. See the abuse, tn,
lies, the false reports our papes sen
out. The papers are getting so they
| can't tell the truth.
