REPLY OF GOV. DAVIS
TO Charges of immortality
Made Against Him By
His Church.
SAYS THE CHARGES ARE NOT
MADE ACCORDING TO BAP.
TtST CUSTOMS.
Insists That They Be Written Out and
Signed BY an Abie-Boded
Man.
THEN BE READY FOR TRIAL

Gov. Davis has flied a reply to the
charges preferred against him as a
member of the Second Baptist church
of Little Rock As YET no action has
been taken by the church in the mat
ter. and Gov Davis announces to the
pastor and members that when "somo
able-b0liesl man pho is at thc back
of these charges prefers them and
j signs Them he is ready for trial, but
not till tllen.
Il am ready for trial, but my princi-
pal aceusers, eN-Gov. Eagle and eX-At.

piciOusly left the state today. the date
Of my trial." said Coy. Davis Wednes-
day. "Therefore. | want 10 face my
accuscrs when am tried. don t
know whether the trial will be pulled

Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1902-05-08

and father and all my ancestors were
Baptists, and. I presume, therefore to
know something of Baptist usages,
customs and practice. In preferring
charges against member whom they
desire to cite for trial before the
church, certain rules and regulations
must be complied with. and | desire to
submit to you as Baptists that these
charges are not preferred according to
the usage and custom of said church
If you will permit me will state what
understand to be said usage and Gus
tom: If brother or sister knows of
any conduct which violates the church
rules and desires to present it to the
church, he or she must present said
charges in writing signed individually,
not as representative of some com
mittee. The charges which have been
presented to me by our church are
signed by no one individually y-they
are signed by Col. Locke as chairman
of the discipline commttee-a commit
tee unheard of and unknown in the
Baptist church. | never knew of 4
standing discipline commmittee in the
Baptist church in my life The church
itself as church administers disci-
plinc to an erring brother or sister up
on written charges preferred by some
brother or sister and signed by them
individually. Such has not been done
i'll my case. therefore, in a humble
Christian spirit. and before | answer
said charges, ask that YOU require
some brother or sister individually to
prefer whatever charges he or she
may sec proper to allege in writing.
and sign his or her name individually,
and not as a representative of some
committee unbeard of and unknown in
the Baptist church. Then | will sub
nit to you my answer to said charges
am ready and willing at any NOM mt
to stand trial on til" charges preferred
when properly presented.
The only Point that | make is thaj
the charges must be presented in lue
and legal form under baptist customs
and pfecedents. There are, according
to my understanding. certain able
bOdle members of our church who
have been secret promoters of these
charges. who have not the manhood or
courage 20 sign their names individ-

MooIng Her DanEhter.

khe Mother and the Lover VIM In
WooInE Her Daughter.
1t Is always an open question as to
whether mothers should select lus-
bands for their daughters. OF course
there is lot TO say on both sides So
far as the mother is concerned, 1t is I'M
deniable that really she is in the better
position to judge the qualities OF
young man than the daughter. The
mother looks Mt the lover with I'M
biased views Hers is no great ro-
mantic love dream. Her time for that
has long gone by, and today she stands
as II guardian to her daughter, witch
ing her Interests and always wary of
undesirable sultors. Size herself has
benefited by the experience OF her ro-
mantle period, and it is to the better
ment OF her daughter that SHE has
made up her mind to step between her
and any suitor who appears TO her I'M
satisfactory. or course the daughter
has her own views on the subject but
undoubtedly II for one moment she
We're to sit down to amtlyZc her feel
inSs 1t would mt take her long to come
to the conclusion That she had forgot
ten everything for love. What does
she care whether he has money or
what faults he may have? She likes
his appearance his conduct seems per-
fect--in fact she is desperately in love
Ana with n sir In this condition all
arguments are futile.
Then il is the duty of the mother to
step in with tactful diplomacy. II is
not necessary for the mother to rush
in and say, II forbid you marrying
this man or course amy girl with
spirit would Immediately make up her
mind. that. even IL they had 10 live on
nothing. she would marry the man of
!,cr choice. Many girls have rushed
into llasty and reGrcttahle marriages
simply on account of this treatment.
\ mother Should talk quietly To her
daughter IN love, argue points for and
against quietly, but decisivcy.
Then perhaps your daughters eyes
will he open to tile truth, The feeling
OF rushing anywhere with her lover
will give place to the more sober idea
that there are other ingredients in the
structure OF marriage hesidcs love.
Perhaps the greatest mistake
mother makes is trying to impress
these facts upon daughter just Mt the
wrong moment This Intrusion Is al
ways resented. Wait until that soul
absorbing idea of love has cooled
down. Then speak TO her calmly.
common sense will very probably pre-
vail. and tie result will be happiness.
