received alS:tas ..an, q e.,hsorihar
to oyour paper on Friday asking me
to comment on the treatment DR..
Carradine met with in Denton Texas.
Idon't like to place myself on record
as champion Of any mans cause,
unless he is right, and Of my own
knowledge know that lie is right. III
this case, my mind tells me that if
Dir. Carradine is tho same man that
he was when lie was in Benncttsville-
If he proaches the same religion that
he preached while in Bennettsville; if
lie is living the life he lived while in
Bennettsville; if he is still doing the
gvod that ho did in Bennettsville and
surrounding country that he is head
and shoulders above Hairless and his
entire board Of Stewards, SO far as
genuine religion is concerned. 1t was
my privilege to hear DR.. Carradine
preach. | did not like some of his ges
lures and illustrations but I liked his
afnestness aud the gospel that he
preached Ia forgiving spirit Bene.
lonce and higher living IF that is not
IN accordance with tho life of Christ,
then Hailess and his crowd arc right
If it is in accordance with the life of
Christ Hairless and his crowd in Texas
Hairless and his crowd iu S. u, had
better get right Somebody has got to
get right and had rather be Cara
dine than the other crowd, and not
have to ct right. have been asked
to comment on this and I have done
so It is time to quit ceremony and
fixed laws and get the old time gen
uine religion Tint makes II man keep
sober, do unto others as he would be
done by, not use the church as a cloak
to hide his iafernul meanness and let
such men as DR.. Carradine helDeand
show them how 10 live nnd preach
the gospel as we'll.
am sick and tired of seeing people
60 to Church and sit hack and sing
"oh! that With yonder sacred throng |
at his foet may fall' and never do
any thing, however little it may be, to
eniitie them to full at the feet Of the
merciful Saviour only Oh Sunday
morning at Sunday School or when
there is preaching at Our Church.
DR.. Carradine is not allowed to
preach in churches, but there are
others that can to "Men Only' and
use language that would make dog
hide his head in shame and that too
in Gods house. Lord deliver me any
more from hearing a sermon preached,
where the pure women of our land are
not invited to be present. Somebody
won't like this. If people will not ask
me as in this case to write on these
things you won't hear from me on
this line, but if they do ask mo
through the mail. Ialways give my
own opinion and no one elsc's -uncar
ing consequences.
Benefits Spring opening was up
to'date. More pretty girls to look at
the pretty hats. Everybody in the
store as busy as bees, for the sweet,
ness was certainly there if I am not
blind, and | don't think I am. But
have been ordered to stop this wiring

Of our future Pure girls, model wives,
noble mothers who teach their child

good name is rather to be chosen
than great riches.
The case against Thos Dean for
false arrest was dismissed. Evidence
was not sufficient to bind him to
court.
Town election going on here to-day
everything quiet
Two Of the burglars have been
caught. AS there have been lies enough
told about who saw them and where
they got dinner and supper and break
fast at, | won't try my hand although
! am pretty good. Some Of them can
beat me drawing on she imagination,
you bet l never saw them and don't
want to unless they are securely con.
fined, am afraid they might "bnst
my safe."
The Town Council has acted wisely
nnd ordered the bicycles 10 keep in
the middle Of the road. No more
grinning monkeys to ring ladies of
TIE street into The ditch and then
ride on and laugh at them.
The town election is now over. The
ticket eluctcd is as follows:
Intendant--J +. Mcleod.
Wardens u. II. Barentine, j. p
Edens, j. a. Herring, $. Il. Bristow.
This gives us set of town officers
that suits everybody in town.
\ No news unless we have another
safe blowing, fight or capture blind
tiger, which is not at all likely.
