The Canton times. (Canton, Miss.) 1893-1906, 1896-05-29

We do net intend to personate
churches under any provocation, but
we do believe tina. there are Christian
churches that believe the high license
control of whiskey under police regu-
lations is better than blind tigers, and
that if You abolish this system, blind
tigers will inevitably follow. We pre-
fer our Christianity to the kind this
fellow faunts. He says we don't
know Christian church from saloon"
this is not only low and coarse slsndsr
that needs NO disproof, but at variance
with his own statement when he says,
he has "heard" we are a ''clever we'll
meaning man, and have the instincts
Of Q gentleman too pronounced to visit
saloon or patronize them" This dis
tor zionist and virtuoso () twists with
his peculiar and specious adroitness our
biblical injunction "be at peace among
yourselves" to our being in league with
the devil. or enjoining our followers in
this language:
HE rams his quill with scandal and with scof;
But tits SO very foul it wont 60 on"
If am traduced by tongues, which neither
know
The chronicle Of my doing-let me say,
'Tis but the fate OF peace, and the rough
brake
That virtue must 60 through"
Now people OF Madison, read care
fully all this fellow has said above and
there is not only not one point Of ar
gument in it, but the rankest kind of
personal TRADE and billingsgste against
the TINES and its editor-"what . head
he must have ON him, that editor Of the
Cuckoo" II would seem to Be utter
ly barren of ideas, argument, or "gen-
tlemanly instincts. but SO full of foul
charges and filthy nature that his Of
tense ''smells rank unto heaven" We
have let ourself down to his level some
what just to "make him sweat blood"
If such as he are the only champions
Christianity ano prohibition have. God
help the cause of each.
Eyes, the country folks may be sneer-
ed at as ignorant and fanstical, but
they are going to vote as they pray.
Mark hat."--Cuckoo.
Country folks can ask for the pro-
lection of their sons against the dog
geriss. only ''st regular advertising
rates" Mark that."-Cuckoo.
These men who are claiming to be
Christian campaign,
would engender jealousy, enmity, ha-
tired and bitter strife, between country
people and those in towns. This is
done simply to try and influence votes,
that is all. mark that" When your
votes are secured it's good bye Katy
Mark that" These fellows don't
ARE straw for the MORAL AND SOCIAL
EVILS THAT ARE sAPP1NG THE FoUNDA-
TON eT SOCIETY, they only want you
o vote prohibition-they are just crazy
IN this subject to the neglect of all
,thers. Watch these blatant mouthed
Ictive prohi hibitionists, and see how you
IRE prepared to endorse them and
heir doings Give them rope enough,
md they will soon say you shall only
Worship God their way, that you shall
lot smoke, chew tobacco or part your
air as you wish. Eighteen Hundred
nd Ninety-six years has the Christian
Torld battled against sin and evil, yet
here 10 a. much to-day as when Christ
rod the streets Of wicked Jerusalem,
nd wept over it. II divine law has
allied to restrain man, how do you ex-
ect human law to do it. II the min
try have failed, let the civil law take
. course and let Christian ministers
OF turn politician, but stick to their
alling.
