A SIGNIFICANT ACTION.

A sign of the times is d ir
the fact that the Methodist Epis
copal Church and the Methodist
Episcopal Church, South, have
united their forces in China to the
extent of establishing a joint pub
fishing house in Shanghai. The
plan has been under consideration
for over six years, and has had
the cordial Endorsement of the mis-
sionaries on the field of both
Churches Early in August a
joint committee met at Baltimore
and adopted a basis Of organiza-
tion, and this has been ratified by
the Missionary Society of the
Methodist Episcopal Church
and the Book Committee of the
Methodist Episcopal Church,
South. In accordance with the
agreement, the Methodist Publish
ing House of China is to be estab-
lished at Shanghai, with a capital
not exceeding SIOo, 600 in gold,
One-quarter Of which is to be paid
in Immediately by each party to
the contract. lfthere is any profit
from the business-and there will
probably be considerable-it is to
be used for the development of
the plant and as dividends to each
Church. 1t is understood that in
effecting this union of publishing
interests all other mission enter
prises in which the respective
Churches are engaged in China re-
main as at present organized and
established. That is, the present
comfy is to be observed in all its
original integrity
The arrangement seems to be an
admirable one from the point of
view Of the conservation of mis-
sionary energies, and it is hoped |
in many quarters that it is pro-
phetic Of the day when all differ
ences between the two Methodist
Episcopal Churches Of America
shall be healed and they shall
come together and present to the
world a united and aggressive body
OF fervent, consecrated, and spirit
ually quickened men and women.

FOR REPRESENTATIVE.

In this issue Mr. J. w. Cravens
announces his candidacy for the
Legislature subject to the action
Of the Democratic party. Few
men are better known in Mont
gomery county than John w. Cra-
vens. ..having been born and reared
here, where the people have had
occasion to know his moral stand
ing, his talents and capabilities to
carry out the duties of "a State leg
islator should he be nominated
and elected. From here he re-
moved to Menifee county where
until recently he has been engaged
as agent Of Red River Valley Rail-
way at McCausey doing business

ty. By such relations he has been
introduced to Menifee voters. He
has always been a willing worker

Kennedy'S Drug Store.


DR.. b. D. Gray, President of
Georgetown College, and j. W.
Hedden, of this place, visited West
Liberty last week to take in consid-
Grafton the establishing of an acad-
envy at that place and also to attend
the Enterprise Association of Bap-
fists. The Association was largely
attended and it was estimated that
at least 4 900 people were there the
second day. 1t was an orderly
meeting. .MThe majority of the AS
sociationssfavor the establishing of
a school at that place and pledged
their personal support. For school
purposes $4,000 was raised Monday
with an assurance of location and
not less than $4,000 in cash. 1t is
believed fine faculty in modern
school buildings with about 25O
students will be Morgan county's
pride in less than twelve months
The people are well-to-do and are
very much interested in the subject
of education.

A CATS PAW.

The Republicans speak in TIL
highest terms Of the character ant
qualifications Of their congression
al nominee, Mr.. White. Grant
ing all they claim Of this candidate
the correctness which we do no
doubt he possesses no qualihca
tions to appeal to the considera
ton of Democrats. AS a mora
man, a man Of powers, hustling
business man who counts results
by his undertakings no man goes
ahead Of the Democratic nominee.
Besides this Mr.. Hopkins is com
mitted to platform that appeals
to the common interests of the
people. 1t stands for something.
1t favors tariff only for actual ex-
penses, permitting the markets to
be regulated by the law of supply
and demand, it opposes such
trusts as have for. their sole aim to
make the rich richer from the
labors Of the masses while they
become poorer; it favors an
economical administration; the en-
acting Of such laws as will better
protect lives and property. Mr.
Hopkins is a representative Demo
crat, broad. and embracing the en-
tire party with large and har-
monious majority behind him.
His election is assured because of
this and because the Democrats
will never again become uncon-
cerned on account Of over con-
hdence.
1t is the duty of every man to
cast his vote according to his own

would make hard fight, reduce
the Democratic majority with the
view Of National consideration.

IF candidate White. Mr.. White
S a rich man, can control money
md his eyes may be opened to the
act that he is the Republican can
lidate because he has a good f.
lancial standing and could put up

.ould be benefited thereby. III
wise man he will see the state of
fairs now. A slight chance of
lection, and then there would |
lave been a field of candidates and

likely to another. Mr.. White can

Ir. Hopkins. it matters not if his
'arty should bankrupt him.

The late Bishop Peck. Of th'
Methodist Episcopal Church
wrote the following vivid accoun
of what calamity and ruin intem
perance brings upon man, fam
lily, nation.
Intemperance cuts down you'll
in its vigor, manhood in its strength
and age in its weakness. 1t break
the fathers heart, bereaves tn,
doting mother, extinguishes nat
ural affection, erases conjugal love
blots out filial attachment, blight!
parental hope, and brings dowr
mourning age in sorrow to ths
grave. Itproduces weakness, no
strength; sickness, not health
death, not life. 1t makes wive:
widows; children, orphans; fathers,
hends, and all of them paupers and
beggars. 1t feeds rheumatism,
nurses gout, welcomes epidemics,
invites cholera, imports pestilence
and embraces consumption. II
covers the land with idleness, pov
erty, disease and crime. 1t fills
your jails, supplies your aims
houses, and demands your asy-
lums. 1t engenders controversies,
fosters quarrels and cherishes
riots. 1t crowds your peniten-
tiaries, and furnishes victims for
your scafolds.
1t is the life-blood Of the gam
bier, the element of the burglar,
the prop of the highwayman, and
the support of the midnight incen-
diary. 1t countenances the liar,
respects the thief, and esteems
the blasphemer. 1t violates obli-
cations, reverences fraud, and hon.
ors infainy. 1t defames benevol-
ence, hates love, scorns virtue,
and slanders innocence. Itincites
the father to butcher his helpless
helps the husband to
his wife, and aids the
child to grind the parricidal ak. 1t
burns up man and consumes wo-
man. detests life, curses God, and
despises heaven. 1t suborns wit
nesses, nurses perjury, dehles the
and stains the judicial
ermine. 1t bribes votes, disquali-
hes voters, corrupts elections, pol
utes our institutions. and endan-
gers our government. 1t degrades
he citizen, debases the legisla-
.ure, dishonors the statesman, and
lisarms the patriot. 1t brings !
shame, not honor; terror, not safe
y; despair, not hope; misery, not
and, with the malevol-
snce OF fiend, it calmly surveys
is frightful desolation, and, unsat-
shsd with havoc, it poisons felici-
y, kills peace. ruins morals,
,lights confidence, Stays reputa-
ion and wipes out natural honor;
hen curses the world and laughs
t its ruin. 1t does all that and
more. 1t murders the soul. 1t is
he sum OF all villainies, the father
f all crimes, the mother Of all
nominations, the devils best
riend, and Gods worst enemy.
