Little Rock. Ark. August IT,
Attorney General jefferson Davis
has given out a statement to the
press in which he says he will ad-
wise all corporations who refer the
matter to him not to furnish to
the secretary OF state the affidavit
required OF them by the celebrated
Rector antitrust law. He says n
they decline to furnish the affidavit
there is no law to punish them that
can be enforced.
He bases his opinion upon this
fact: The affidavit is verbatim
copy of the affidavit prescribed by
the legislature in n similar anti
trust law of the State of Missouri.
The question was carried up TO
the supreme court in that State,
which body declared after n hear
ing in the case OF the State of Mis-
souri, VS.. Simmons Hardware com
pany, reported in the Eighteenth

which he Is exempted from doing by
the organic law OF the State.

GEN. WOOD TAKES
CHARGE IN CUBA.
Change of Governors Gives Salts
faction to All.

Habana, Dec. 21.-Msj Gen.
Leonard Wood formally took
charge Of the governor generals
office at 9 O'Clock this morning.
HIS first act was to accept the
resignation of the me bers of the
members of the advisory cabinet
Of Gen. Brooke. These officials.
after considering the question
overnight, had decided to insist
upon retiring. Their decision
meets with public approval. Al
most without exception they had
rendered themselves particularly
ahnoXious to majority Of the
Cubans
One prominent Cuban general
said today: 1.-The only chance
Gen. Brooks secretaries have, if
they wish to rehabilitate them
selves in the eyes of their coun-
trymen, is to resign and thus, for
time. bring forgetfulness."
The same general. discussing
Gen. Brooke's farewell procla-
nation, said: 1.-The procla nation
was i'll advised. Cuba ia bound,
in the course of time, with food
and without war, to arrive sat a
state Of comparative comfort. No
man has right to regard himself
as the sole cause of such improve
ments. AS a matter of fact, under
Gen. Brooke's administration the
military authorities frequently
over rode the civil, and there is
less civil government now than
before. AS for the courts, they
are the same corrupt organiZa
tions and are virtually UNCHANGED
in any important particular. All
this, in my opinion, most Cubans
will attribute to the bad advice
given Gen Brooke by his secre.
taries."
1t is believed that no governor
will be appointed for Santiago
department, but that an expert.
ment in civil government on 9
much broader scale than ever be
fore will be initiated there, Gov
Gen. Wood having supervision OF
the experiment from Habana.
Gen. Wood this afternoon Wis
tied the prison and the penitcn.
tiary a nd seemed much interested,
although no. declined to comment
upon the experience. He was &C.
companied by Gen. Ludlow and
Gen. Chaffee.

Associate Reformed Presbyterian.

AsSOclate helt tneu GreSDyterlln
The action of the late synod in
arranging for the celebration Of
the centennial of our synod in
1908 will bring prominently
before our people "The Oh Brick
Church." where our synod was
organized May 8, 1903.
The proper name of the church
is Ebenezer, but it is generally
known by the Brick Church.
1t is a brick building, as its
name implies, and is situated -
miles west of Winnsboro, in Fair
field county, S. G.
1t is on an eminencc surroun
ded by beautiful grove Of hick
ory and oak trees, few hun
dred yards from Kincaid's bridge
over Little River.
1t is indeed IL beautiful and
historic spot. The building is in
a good state of preservation and
service is held there every two
weeks. For many years before
the civil war it was one of the
most active and influential
churches in the synod. Its pas
tors have been Rev. Jas. Rogers,
Rev. James Boycc, ID. d., and
Rev. g. b. Belts. The ravages
Of the war among its people left
it almost disorganized, and in a
few years it disappeared from the
roll OF our churches. About the
year 1891 Rev. A. G.. kirkpatrick
and his people of New Hope
began to cultivate the field, and
the result was that it was organ
lied the second time August %,
1898, with 81 members. Since
that time it has grown steadily,
and is power for good in the
community. For some years Rev.
A. G.. kirkpatrick has been lis
pastor in connection with Pros
perity, S. c., giving half his time
to each place.
The statistics for the year just
closed show IS members, with
elders and dcacons, ten members
of the Ladies' society, 55 in the
Sabbath school, paid 5000 to pas
tors salary and $25 to missions.
The church and graveyard are
surrounded by massive rock
wall which will last as long as
the world lasts. 1t is built of
blocks of granite laid in cement
and is there to stay. Rev. James
Rogers and perhaps others of our
ministers sleep there.
This is all preliminary however,
to war episode in connection
with the old church, which | wish
to lay before your readers. When
Shcrnan's army passed through
this country his soldiers tore Zip
hte floor and sleepers of the
church and with this material
they rebuilt the bridge over Little
river, near by, which the Con-
federates on their retreat had de-
