A common Misquotation.

Probably lhree out OF four Fourth OF
july orstars in their speeches this year
ouo.s .he Declaration Of independence
as claiming that: "All men are created
free ard equal" The mistake has been
common "a the past and it is as preya-
lent now MS ever. Presidents OF the
United States, members OF congress,
governor. and host OF lesser lights
have lmada the bluuder, and to their
number can be added editors and dis
,nguished orators Ike the late Henry
Ward Bcether Nevertheless the Dec
iaratiou . es not say that ''all men are
treated Tree and equal" aud it would
,,st 30 true il il did. No person is ere
ated nee. He or she is subject for years
to the control Of parents or guardians,
and natural laws recognize this subiec
ton a. right. What the Declaration
does say is that; "aIl men are created
equal" There may be some dissent
from that doctrine as there is an evi-
dent difference among men in mental
and physical endowment at birth. But
while the Declaration OF independence
is quoted as saying they are, ii had better
be quoted correctly.

A Singular Occurrence.

An instance has just happened that
goes to show what efforts misfortune No.
> viii make to get there on time so us to
make good the old saying that mlsfor-
tunes ever come singy, NJ. Y. Butler,
who resides .our or five miles east Of Gar
field los, a mich COW one day last week.
She land down and died, In no very
cheerful frame Of mind he barnessed one
horse ana hitched it to the COW to drag
it away. Now those who have had eX-
perience in this business know that dead
bodies have IA way OF hugging the ground
that makes them very hard to haul, and
the fact that Mr.. Butler only hitched one
horse to the carcass is evidence that he
is not familiar with this kind OF misfor-
tune.
Well, when he tried to start, just as
you supposed, the horse could not pull
it, Mr.. Butler thought the horse was
grunting more than it was pulling, so he
picked up a stick ana hit it whack.
The horse reared and iell back on the
COW, dead, The only explanation Of
iered for the strange manner OF the
horse death is that it must have in
jured itself internally by its violent ef-
forts TO pull the dead cow Enterprise.

ORIGIN AND HISTORY OF BAPTISM
The Subject For Mr.. Dale's Sermon Next
Sunday.
DIToR COLUMBIA HERALD:-


Sunday.
EDITOR COLUMBIA HERALD
Please allow an old corresponds
of the HERALD little space in your
valuable paper again.
Since this scribe penned anything
for your paper there have been
many changes. But / am glad to
see the HERALD still surviving and
in the forefront on all great ques-
tions of reform:
Last Sunday, Rev. S. M. Gupton,
Baptist, preached a sermon at the
G. P. Church here on Baptism
1t was understood by the community
to be in the nature of reply to some
remarks Rev. w. r. Dale, pastor of
G. P. Church, made on the Sunday
school lesson on March 7, concern
ing the conversion and baptism of
the Ethiopian. Mr.. Dale claims
that he has not preached sermon
on Baptism" yet, but only gave his
views, incidentally, on that one in
stance, and that he felt he could not
get around it, as he had been preach
ing all the year on the Sunday
SCuOOl l6oSOu, anu lluSb. DIS all
honest man, tell what he understood
by the baptism of the Ethiopian.
But he and Rev. Gupton have met
and reached an amicable under
standing of matters between them,
and we are glad to say there is
nothing of the spirit of controversy
in this matter, and Rev. Dale had
Mr.. Gupton to announce last Sun
day that he would preach on "Bap-
tism" next Sunday, the 10Th, at
1880 a, m. 1t is understood that his
subject will be THE Origin and
History of Baptism"
Mr.. Dale requested, through Mr..
Gupton last Sunday, that everyone
bring a copy of the Bible and be
prepared to note all proof texts and
references. A cordial invitation was
extended to all to come back and
"see the other side of the picture. "
We have a live Endeavor Society
which meets every Sunday night.

DANGER AHEAD.

The Congressional race next year
promises to be full of entries, there
being already more than one avowed
candidate in the field, and four or
five "feelers."
1t is interesting to note in this
connection that-with all his posi-
tive promises to the contrary-there
is a healthy rumor afloat that Col.
Cox is "still in the hands of his
friends" and, under certain circum-
stances might be induced to accept
the crown once more.
Another feature already discussed
is as to the personnel of the Con-
gressional Committee. 1t will be
remembered that the Whitthorne
convention selected one committee,
and the Cox convention another. 1t
may play very important part in
the next campaign, as to which of
these committees is the regular one.
For Instance; suppose, representing
rival factions this time as they did
before, they get at loggerheads; sup
pose each one claims to be the one;
suppose one calls convention to
nominate a candidate for Congress,
and suppose the other one calls for
primary election; and suppose the
convention dominates one man and
the primary another; what are you
going to do about it?
The state executive committee,
when they undertook to settle the
dispute between Col. Cox and Sena-
tor Whitthorne, declined to give
either one a title to the nomination,
and called for new primary; there
by, in measure refusing to recog-
nize either convention. If neither
of these conventions were properly
organized, did either of them have
any authority to select committee?
And If their selections are void,
then what is to prevent the old COM
mittee-of which Mr.. Stewart is
chairman-from holding over until
their successors are properly
chosen?
So you see it may be a triangular
fight between Mr.. Stewards COM
mittee, the Cox convention COM
| mittee, and the Whitthorne conven
ton COMMITTEES, and a different
Democratic nominee from each
one Of these three regularly con-
] stituted" Democratic committees.
The situation is interesting now,
and may become serious erelong,
and in the meantime Democrats
should be considering how they
may settle it all, not for the advant-
age of any Individual, but to the
best interest of the Democratic
party, and for the preservation of
Democratic principles.

EpwOrth League State Conference.


The State Conference of Epworth
Leagues convenes at Nashville on
June 3-6. The Exposition has filled
the city with visitors, but the
Leaguers of Nashville have reserved
place (at lowest rates. for all those
who send their names in advance to
John d. Sharpe, Foster Street Rail-
road Crossing, and all Leaguers and
those who want to be are taking ad-
vantage of this fact, and are going
to be there at the appointed time.
This arrangement insures COM
Portable place to stay while seeing
the Exposition and attending the
Conference, and in most cases ex-
perlenced escorts about the city.
The program, which in itself is a
work of art, shows the following
participants: Rev. Charles o. Jones,

ing thinner every year. Those who
escaped the bullets of the enemy are
falling before the reaper Time.
This will be the best and to many,
no doubt, the last chance to meet on

should not forego the pleasure.

ATHENEUM NOTES.

The honors were announced Mon
day afternoon, the valedictory be-
ing awarded to Miss Sallie Chill
dress, who has the largest number of
perfect examinations to her credit
on the school records. The saluta-
tory was won by Miss Jean Dobbins,
who was a close second. Both Of
these young ladies have the highest
respect and esteem of their asso-
ciates and teachers and the entire
AthenRum extends to them its
warmest congratulations.
The dance given by the young
ladies on Friday evening, was a
most enjoyable affair. The cake
walk was an occasion of great mirth.
Misses Avent and Eloise Brown
won the cakes, to the approval of all
present. Messrs. Ball and Dexter
presented the prizes which were cut
and shared in the drawing-room on
Monday afternoon.
The Teachers Club met with Miss
Helen Smith on Friday evening.
Prof. P. H. Moore's lead on the
French Drama was very highly
appreciated. The usual discussion
was postponed, owing to the dance,
which the club bad been invited to
attend. After the ball, Miss Smith
requested the club to re-assemble at
the Rectory, where the most de-
lightful refreshments were served.
The pestalozzians cordially in
vite their friends to be present at
their concert, which takes place
this evening in the Study Hall.
The program will open at 8 o'clock.
The little folks will do their best to
entertain their friends, and the fact
that Mrs. Alice Smith has them in
charge is guarantee of a pleasant
evening.

Ing mistake when he allowed his
friends to inveigle him into with
drawing from the lecture field to
accept an office he had twice held
before, and the emoluments of
which are hardly worth mentioning.
But having made that mistake he
should stick to it until the time of
his probation is out. He should not

should continue the even tenor OF

THE Nashville Banner is the con-
trariest cuss that eyer lived. In
season and out of season, it has al
ways been opposed to Bob Taylor
being Governor; but now that Our
Bob no longer wants to be Governor,
the Banner insists that he must.
The Banner opposed his nomina-
ton, opposed his election, opposed
his Inauguration, opposed his adj
ministration, and now opposes his
resignation; when, really, the ETH
quette of the case would require the
Banner-being an Ishm@litish Re-
publican-that it should not NEEDLE
with the affairs of a Democratic
Governor in the least.
