The Spartanburg Journal of last
Wednesday contained the following :
"Judge Benet jolted Charleston very
hard this morning In sentencing
Ed. Bailey, q young white man, to
twelve months on the chaingang for
selling whiskey, he gave the most
meaning and direct judicial arraign-
ment the notorious lawlessness of

marks of the Judge were frank.
Judge Benet said: sYou have made
mistake. There is a locality on
the opposite side of the State from
Spartanburg where you can sell
liquor with impunity and where
grand juries won't present guilty
parties, and petit juries won't con-

supply that always great demand for

locality. 1t is not here. In this

Robbed a Bank.

Emden, Ill.,, November 2S.- -Four
masked men wrecked the Bank OF
Emden early to-day. 1t is state,.
they secured all the funds of the
bank, between three and four thou
sand dollars. When the robbers dis
charged the first blast of dynamite,
the explosion aroused John Alberts,
four blocks away. Alberts hurried
to the bank. One of the robbers
was on guard in the street, and he
seized Alberts, who was bound hand
and foot and dragged into the bank,
where he witnessed the gang drilling
into the vault door.
When the fuse was lighted the
robbers stepped outside and Alberts
lay in the corner when it went off.
He was not seriously injured, how
ever. The second blast unhinged the
vault doors and the robbers made off
with all the cash. Securing hand
car they pulled in tho direction OF
Delavcn. There they were met by
Night Patrolman Sanford who at
tempted to arrest them. One robber
fired and Sanford fell mortally
wounded. Outside the town the
men boarded passenger train on
the Chicago and Alton road. All
traces Of them are lost.

he Declares That the Southern Baptlsts Are
Divided as to Whether They Are Protestants.

Rev. DR.. William II. Whitsitt,
late President of the Southern Bap-
tist Theological Seminary, made a
notable address before the Baptist
Congress, which has been in session
at Richmond, Va, in which he ad-
herod to his old position with refer.
ence to Baptist history, which Gre
ated such controversy in the de-
nomination, and his utterances were
even bolder than heretofore. DR..
Whitsitt said
Southern Baptists are divided in
sentiment. One party asserts that
Baptists are not Protcstants the
other asserts that no man can be
a Baptist except in name only, who
is not also Protestant. TO hold
and teach the doctrine Of universal
spiritual church which, only with re-
spcct Of the internal work of the
spiritual truth Of grace, may be
called invisible, is alike a mark of
Protestant and of Baptist faith. 10
deny that doctrine is understood to
be mark of Somanism. Many
Southern Baptists deny that doc
trine. The doctrine that baptism is
essential to salvation appeared
shortly after the apostolic age, and
brought in it's wake baptism of ne
ccssity, which, in all ages, has been
commonly performed by aspersion
and effusion. 1t was not long be-
fore the distinctive principle of bap-
tism began by this means to be over
thrown.
"The last man who is shown to
have held and practiccd it was
Manus, who wrote letter to Cy-
prian, of Carthage, about the yeal
225, in which he appears TO have ad.
vocatcd the Baptist contention. Aftc,
that date, though many churches
and parties held and practiced i'm
mersion, no record has ever yet been
discovered of any who held and
practiced that it is essential to bap.
tism until the Baptsts were restored
in l641. Furthermore, historic tcs.
timony regarding the re- introduc.
ton of immersion in 1641, after tho
rite had long been disused, was
abundant, definite, circumstantial,
consistent and quite as conclu.
sivc as the historic testimony
that Napoleon the First was named
Emperor of France in 1904. 1t is
rejected by our Baptists who are not
'rotcstants, but that is merely the
result of their substantially Catholic
position"
DIR. Whitsitt declared $50 far as
present research has gone, no Bap.
tlst has been found between A. ID
200 and 1G41, yet the exigcncics OF
.he Baptists who are not Protestants
absolutely require that a chain oi
l5aptists shall be demonstrated tc

What Hurt Him Most.

Private John Allen, the famous
member of Congress from Mississ-
lppi, by simple story, once killed
absolutely an elaborate, vcnomous
sectional speech and 80 thoroughly
discounted the maker of it that he
never afterwards gained his prestige
on the rostrum. The name of this
man, who has met with misfortune
since, need not be mentioned here,
but he had outdone himself in vitu-
pcration and abuse, while his own
war record had not been especially
brilliant.
Allen replied by telling how, after
the war, he, the only private in the
Confederate army had gone back and
found everything in ruins, and on
his way to his own plantation stepped
in to sec friend and found him sit
ting sadly amid the dcsolation. He
tried to comfort him and cheer him
up, until finally the friend said
"John, do not mind the loss of
my money, and the ruin of my farm
or the damage to my health, or even
the sufferings my family have under
gone-all that is part Of the game
but what makes me sad is the
thought that in about IS or 20 years
after this is all the fellows who
never smclt powder will be getting
up before big crowds and telling
them how they thrashed u.s."
OF course, this gives neither the
spirit nor the flavor as Allen did il,
for nor type or reproduction can do
justice to his inimitablc humor, but
in its effect the story was one Of the
most remarkable ever told in this
country.

is man; then comes fire, lightning,
storms and the giving way of the
ground on which they stand.
Fossils show the Big Tree to be.
the remnant of a once numerous
family; it is a direct or collateral
descendant OF ancient species. Their
ancestors formed large part Of the
forests which tiourished throughout
the Polar regions, now desolate and
ce-clad, and which extended into the
low latitudes of Europe. The natu-
raj reproduction of the tree is slow,
and the preservation of the race is
dependent on maintaining the pres
ent groves intact. The Big Tree
rejoices in five names which have
been given TO it at various times;
Sequoia, Washingtoniana, however,
which was proposed in 1898, will
probably be the name under which it
will be known. The Big Tree has
been introduced into England and
the Continent, and while it has done
we'll it shows that the existing cli-
mates do not suit it, and the Sierra
forests need fear no rivals. It has
been occasionally cultivated in the
Eastern United States, where it does
not flourish. There are two trees IS
feet high in a nursery at Rochester,
New York.
The numbering of the Big Tree is
very destructive. The enormous
size and weight of the tree naturally
entails considerable breakage, and
the brittle trunk is liable to be
smashed by any inequalities in the
ground The loss from this cause is
great, but it is only one of the
sources of waste. The great dame
ter OF the logs, Notwithstanding the
lightness of the wood, causes their
weight to be SO enormous that it is
impossible to handle many of them
without breaking them up. For this
purpose gunpowder is used, and the
fragments are often of wasteful
shapes, and unless great care is used
in preparing the blast, great deal
of the wood itself is scattered into
useless splinters. At the mill, where
waste is the rule in the manufacture
OF lumber in the United States. the
big tree makes no exception. This
waste added to the other sources of
loss makes a total probably often
considerably in excess of half the
total volume of the tree. The big
tree also stands, as a rule, in mixed
forest composed of many species,
and the destruction caused by the
fall OF one of the enormous trees is
in itself great, but the principal
source of damage is the immense
amount of debris left on the ground,
certain source of future fires. This
mass of broken branches, trunks and
bark is often five or six feet thick,
and necessarily gives rise to fires of
great destructive power, although
the Big Tree wood is not specially
inflammable. The devastation which
follows such numbering is as com
pleto and deplorable as the untouched
forests is unparalleled, beautiful and
worthy OF preservation. Fortunately,
much OF this appalling destruction
has been done without leaving the
owners of the Big Trees as we'll off
as they were before it began.
