Craps Charleston"

The Spartanburg Journal of last
Wednesday contained the following :
"Judge Benet jolted Charleston very
hard this morning. In sentencing
Ed. Bailey, 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
that city has yet received. The re-
marks of the Judge were frank.
Judge Benet said sYou have made
mistake. There is 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
yict, where you can sit and smile at
the plainest, most convincing evil
dence against you. If you must
supply that always great demand for
whiskcy emigrate to that favored
locality. It is not here. In this
Piedmont country jurors do their
duty and the law is Observed"

Robbed a Bank.

Emden, Ill.,, November 2S.-Four
masked men wrecked tho Bank of
Emden early to-day. 1t is stated
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.
lie was not seriously injured, how
ever. The second blast unhinged the
vault doors and the robbers made off
with all the cash. Securing a hand
car they pulled in tho direction of
Delavcn. There they were met by
Night Patrolman Sanford who at
tempted to arrest them. Ono robber
fired and Sanford fell mortally
wounded. Outside the town the
men boarded a passenger train on
the Chicago and Alton road. All
traces Of them are lost.

An Interesting Historic Document.

The readers of TIE COURIER will be
interested in reading the "Prospcctus"
which was published just after tho war,
preparatory to resuming tho publication
of this time-honorcd journal by Messrs.
Robert A. Thompson, w. II. Holcombe
and Robert Young. Suffice it to say that
the subscriptions and contributions of
bacon" and barter" were sufficiently
encouraging to the then proprietors to
induce thcm to resume tho publication,
which has continued ever since without
intcrmiSsion:
PROSPECTUS.
Events, over which we had no control,
caused the suspension Of the publication
of THE COURIER.
1t is manifcstly to the interest of tho
people, at all times, to have District
Journal, through which the latest intel
ligcncc may be disseminated; and,
more especially at this time, when a
radical change is to be made in our
constitution and laws. Proclamations
and military orders, affecting most in
tcnscly the destiny of our people, are
appearing almost daily, and of which
they have no means of being informed.
The work Of restoring the State to it's
former relations with the Federal Gov
elnmcnC mas already commenced, and it
is highly important, to the people of
Pickcns, to be informed of the progress
of tho changes imposed by dire ncccs-
sity upon us.
TO this end we propose to rccommenco
tho publication of The Courier, if sufli-
cicnt inducemcEt is offered to warrant
tho undertaking, tho paper to DO one
half tho size OF The Courier in 1860.
We have no mails. TO secure the cir
culation of The Courier the public spir-
tied citizens of each ncighborhood can
make up clubs aud by turn send each
week for their papers. 1t is proposed to
issue the first number on Saturday, tho
10th of August. Three hundred sub
scribcrs are necessary to warrant the
commencement.
Terms, for three months, Is cents in
Federal curl cncy, or in provisions at the
following rates: Three pccks corn, half
bushcl wheat, twenty pounds flour, half
bushel rye, six chickens, six dozen eggs,
five pounds butter, five pounds bacon,
five pounds lard.
Necessity compcls us to insist upon
advance payment in all cases.
These lists will be returned to us on or
before the 10th August.

Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the larg-
est sale of any medicine in the civilized
world. Your mothers and grandmothcrs
never thought Of using anything else for
indigestion and biliousness. Doctors
were scarce, and they seldom heard OF
nervous prostration or
heart failure, etc. They used August
Flower to clean out the system and stop
fermentation Of mdigcstcd food, rcgu-
late the action Of the liver, stimulate
tho nervous and organic action of the
system, and that is all they took when
feeling dull and bad with headaches and
other aches. You only need Il few doses
of Green's August Flower in liquid
form, to make you satisfied there is
nothing serious the matter with you.

A Remarkable Coincidence.

Mr.. II. r. Lackie, of Detroit, Mich,
has sent us the following interesting
rcminiscencc of the Second Manas-
sas, which narrates an incident of
the battle with which some of our
readers are already familiar:
In the year 1858 four gentlemen
entered their sons at boarding
school at Cokesbury, in South Caro-
lima. They had been for years init
mate friends, and were clcrgymcn in
the Methodist church. These bows
remained at this school as room
mates and class mates for two wears
and entered Wofford College, stand
ing relatively first, second, third and
fourth in large class. They re-
malned in this institution four years
and were mates all the time,
graduating relatively, first, second,
third and fourth.
They entered law Office in Spar.
tanbnrg and studied law under the
same chancellor. The war broke
out and they entered Jenkins Rifle
regiment S. g. V. (Capt. JOS. Wal
ker's company and were messmates
III the same company. Being near
the same height they stood together
as comrades in battle in this rcgi-
mcnt. AT the second battle of Ma
nassas n shell from the Federal bat
terry fell in the ranks of this com.
pany, killing these four boys and no
others i'm the company.
They arc buried on the battlefield,
and sleep together in the same grave.
Their names are Capers, McSwain,
Smith and Duncan and they were
the sons OF Bishop Capcrs, Rev. DIR.
NlcSwain, Rev. DIR. Whitcford Smith
and Rev. DIR. Duncan, of Virginia.
This grave is marked by granite
cross enclosed with an iron fence

What Hurt Him Most.

Private John Allen, the famous
member of Congress from Mississ-
ippi, by a simple story, once killed
absolutely an elaborate, vcnomous
sectional speech and 30 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,
hut he had outdonc himself in vitu-
grafton 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 see friend and found him sit
ting sadly amid the desolation. lie
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 suffcrings my family have under
gonc-all that is part Of the game
but what makes me sad is the
thought that in about IS or 80 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 it,
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

DR.. WHITsITr B0LDER.
He Declares That tbs Southern Bapts!s Are
Divided as to Whether They Are Protes,ants.

Rev. DR.. William II. Whitsitt,
late resident 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-
hered to his old position with refer
ence to Baptist history, which Gre
ated such a controversy in the de-
nomination, and his utterances we're
even bolder than heretofore. DIR.
Whitsitt said
Southern Baptists are divided in
sentiment. One party asserts that
Baptists are not Protestants the
other asserts that no man can be
a Baptist except in name only, who
is not also Protestant. 10 hold
and teach the doctrine of a universal
spiritual church which, only with re-
spcct of the internal work Of the
spiritual truth of grace, may be
called invisible, is alike mark of
Protestant and of Baptist faith. To
deny that doctrine is understood to
be a 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 a 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 practiced it was
Manus, who wrote a letter to Cy-
prian, of Carthage, about the year
225, in which he appears to have ad-
vocatcd the Baptist contention. After
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
practiccd that it is essential to bap-
tism until the Baptists were restored
in 1641. Furthermore, historic tes-
timony regarding the -introduc-
tion of immersion in 1641, after the
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
Protcstants, but that is merely the
result of their substantially Catholic
position"
DIR. Whitsitt declared $50 far as
present research has gone, no Bap-
tist has been found between A. ID.
255 and lG4l, yet the exigcncics of
!he Baptists who are not Irotestants
absolutely require that chain of
Baptists shall be demonstrated to
exist in the actual succession for
every day of that period"

fight, two of the negroes broke by

ne knocked down several times and
secured. None of the four men had
any weapon and the fighting was

the prisoners was to get the jailer
down and choke him or perhaps
break his neck, but being a very

venting this, although he was CON
