/. INVADING THE CHURCHES. !
Mark Hanna Tries to Work Trough
Religious Representation Bailey
Gets a Letter From Mark.

Hanna and his crowd are moving
heaven and earth to elect Nc
Kinley. They are play ng ON
the passions and prejudices aad fears
of every class, and cannot EN- keep
their hands out of the sacred pre-
cincts of the church. 1t IS openly
charged that the New York ministers
who each Sunday morning rom the
pulpit deliver political speeches they
label sermons are under the direct con-
troll of Hanna and his gang.
Not only has Hanna had the life
insurance companies to send out let
ters to their policy holders to scf
them into voting for Mckinley, and
set the bands to influencing deposit
tors. and had the railroads of the coun-
try turned into vast political machines;
he is now trying to inject politics into
the churches. He Is now sending out to
an the religious papers in the country
statements that free coinage would
cripple the mission work, halve the
incomes from church investments and
compel double contributions.
Editor Bailey of the Biblical Record
er, received yesterday circular let
ter from Mark Hanna's committee as
follows:
Dear Sir;
ssThe enclosed statement has been
carefully prepared by the Republican
National committee from the ofhclal
| Publishing House in this city. Lit con-
| tains facts which, in the opinion OF
many prominent Baptists here, should
| be placed before every member of the
| Baptist church in the United States.
Free coinage means disaster to all
! church finances, and will paralyZe all
| benevolent and missionary work, as
| well as cause a great shrinkage IN val
! ues of all church property and endow-
| ments The poor viii suffer more by
! the adoption of Free Coinage than the
rich, but indirectly all church mem
bers will be damaged and hurt. The
| publication of the enclosed statistics
/ prominently in your paper will be
| timely and cannot fail to produce good
| results"
We wants the circular inserted as
| the sentiments of the editor himself.
/ The circular is tabulated statement
| of the contributions of members and
the income from benefactions, of the
| Baptist church, and says If Bryan and
1 Tree SILVER prevail III THIS EiEctloh tht
| church will lose S11 100000 in income
| and contributions will have to be in
creased from $1,000, 900 to $30,000,000
The circular proceeds:
These contributions or endowments
generally speaking, are given by the
| rich, but are used for the benefit of the
| poor, as the rich man pays his way at
the hospital, and he never needs the
charitable home in his old age, nor
| does he send his children to the or
| phanage. 1t means disaster to our
| church finances.
| "The sick, the destitute, the or
pbans, the aged, will all suffer unless
| we can make up the difference and we
| cannot shut our eyes to the fact that
this is an impossibility-that Free
| Coinage and the election of Bryan,
and Sewan means disaster to our
| church finances and will paralyze our
/ missionary and all other church work. :

MR.. BRYAN.

Yesterdays Progressive Farmer
says: Mr.. Bryan is the peoples candi-
date for President and every one of the
people ought to try and see him and
hear himspeak No man in North Caro-
lima is too poor for Mr.. Bryan to shake
hands with, and he viii be the first
President this country has had since
the war, if he is elected; the others
have been autocrats, plant tools of the
money power, were such before they
were elected Mr.. Bryan is not now
and has not been, and since we see the
monopolies and the goldites fighting
him so hard, we are now more inclined
to be believe that he is made of pure
metal than ever before. He is the NOM
inee of thePopulists and free silver
Republicans as well as the silver Dem
ocrats, and all will join in welcoming
him to our State and regret that his
trip is to be such hurried one"

POP. COMMITTEE MEETS MONDAY.
Was it Agreed for Russell to Come
Down ?-Rumor That Democrats
Proposition Will be Accepted.

A meeting of the Populist State Cen
trail committee has been called for next
Monday. This committee now has
plenary powers and may settle any
question that arises.
They will consider the proposition
for electoral fusion made by the Demo
Gratis, giving the Populists five out of
eleven electors. 1t is stated on Popu-
list authority, that the offer will be
accepted.
The talk was yesterday that the
"tacit agreement" not stated in the
document, was that Russell should
come down. 1t was stated that the
maintenance of fusion depended on
this, and if he refused to come down
within a certain period, the fusion
should be annulled. This report is
given for what it is worth.

Above is the picture of another of the thousands of well-known citizens whom Paine's celery compound has made well.
 Chief Postofffce Inspector M. D. Wheeler of Washington, D. C., writing to the proprietors of this most wonder ful of curatives, says:
 q have used Paine's celery compound with marked improvement in health. At the time I commenced using it. I was very much run down from over work and was advised by a friend to try it. I began almost immediately to fmprove, and after taking three bottles felt we'll enough to discontinue it's use, and have been permanently benefited. I heartily recommend it to the public" ,"
 MT. Wheeler has found out what eV- eryone should learn-that putting heart and soul in ones business no longer means sticking to the desk, counter or workroom till the head grows dizzy, the back aches and neuralgia twinges shoot through the frame.
