How Shall Mormonism bf

North Carolina is free state, pro-

ions. Very veil Bat that does not

results aud in any way disturb the pub
lie peace. It does not mean that the
Christians should be indifferent to
the spread Of doctrines Of extreme error
aud that work mischief and sorrow and
vice among the people. There are
now in North Carolina forty Mormon
emissaries working upon the ignorant
men aud women that come under their
baleful teaching and influence. They
claim to have now 400 victims already
in this state. Another plea aud de-
mand for education. Of all the silly,
absurd, baseless so.called religions
ooue is more foolish aud fatuous
and deplorable than Mormon

the modern. latter day religious that

cuted. expelled by force? That will
be uu Christian. It will not do to re-

Youngism Po!ygamy is against the
laws OF the Uoi,ed States. as is bigamy

polyaudry should be. but we believe
is rot, for it is tolerated in almost all
communities
What then is the proper remedy

monwealth to the poisons scattered
by the tools of Mormon polygamy !?
Il is, as we think, for the clergy of
the state to fully inform themselves
as to the origin, history. doctrines.
practices and results of Joe Smithism,
and to preach against it in. every
community. Let an active campaign
of instruction be set in motion in
every nook and corner in every coun-
ty in North Carolina. With forty
industrious agents Of the devil
at work disseminating the most fool
ish and lascivious of doctrines since
Mohammed began his work of de-
ception, it is high time certainly that
the faithful preachers of Bible Chris
tianity were awake and alive, and
had begun to meet the emissaries of
Mormonism with arguments based on
study and with constant
appeal to the Christian Scriptures
A so-called religion that started in
New York state, and has been cum
ningly and fanaticaliy developed into
its present system under the manipu-
lation and leadership, first of Joe
Smith. and afterwards of Brigham

"It's the small one, sir, right over

Hendricks said nothing for two or

window and called the man to him.

(Which acds his rOon?" asked Hendricks
quarrelin with everybody-Mr. Ralph
an Miss Alice an Mr.. Montcastle. He
couldn't bear that man in his sight,
sir.
"Was it because his daughter seemed
to prefer Montcastle?" asked the detect
i've.
81 suppose so, sir. Anyway she likes
him, an he is after her if ever man
was after woman. They met each
other at Newport last summer an have
been correspondent ever since. Mr..
Ralph invited i'm to the house party.
His sister got i'm to do it. Master
raised awful row when he heard what
the young folks was up to, but it was
too late to stop it. Miss Hastings had
already started, an Mr.. Montcastle was
some place where Miss Alice couldn' {
reach 'im.''
How long have you been in the
family, Jarnagin?"
More'n 90 years, sir. ="
Hendricks doubled his beard over his
fingers and put the end between his
teeth. Lampkin had seen him do it
when he was in deep thought. Sudden
ly he pulled himself together.
II presume Mr.. Ralph and this Bos-
ton girl like each other2'' he said.
1T looks very much like it, SIR"
said the coachman, Though she hasn't
been shown it much, because Mr..
Ralph is a pretty wild youngster. 1t
looks like she's afraid to trust herself

has given master lot of trouble in one
way or other. You see, sir, Miss Alice

it. She pretends to be interested in
what the others are sayin or dom of
evenin's. but if Mr.. Ralph misses his
train an can't get home on time she
gets so restless she can't sit still"
Hendricks deliberately changed the
subject.
HAS Miss Alice had entire charge of
the household affairs?" he asked.
"Only since her aunt went away,
SIR" returned Jarnagin.
''Iler aunt? Who's sheY" asked Hen
bricks.
miss Martha Benton, masters old

Hendricks parted his beard and slow

''Do you think, Jarnagin," he SAID,
''that your masters irritability could
have been due to any physical disease
any mental trouble?"
81 believe he had softenin OF the
brain, SIR said Jarnagin, looking
guiltily toward the door, as if from the
consciousness that he was betraying the
hiding place of family skeleton. "A
New York doctor was to see i'm once,

that If master didn't stop losin sleep

"He has not had medical advice since

detective.

been so irritable an full of fancies"-
"Fancies?" interrupted Hendricks.
"Yes, SIR" said the coachman. "He
thought all of us, even his own chill
dren, was plottin to ruin an kill 'im."
''Have you ever heard him say any
thing on that liner" asked Hendricks,
carelessly knocking the ashes from his
cigar and looking to see if it were
burning.
II heard i'm accuse Mr.. Ralph an
Miss Alice the other day of wantin to
get i'm out of the way so they could
handle his money an the income on his
inventions. -
what did they say to that?" asked
the detective, scratching a match and
holding it to his extinguished cigar.
1T made 'em awfully mad Mr.
Ralph swore at i'm, an Miss Alice went

Hendricks stood up and yawned lazi-

took out $5 bill and gave it to Jarna-
gin.
Here's something for you, my good
man, but mind you don't say anything
about this conversation. Itwould offend
