Methodist RespoasISiub.

DIR. Carlisle in recent issue 81
1.-The Advocate says:
ssCold figures tellus that onc-nintb
of the white persons in this State are
Methodists. The rough rales sp-
piled in such cases, multiply by three
or four, at least, to indicate vaguely,
the probable influence, direct and
indirect, on the public. Perhaps,
then, from one-third to one-half Of
our people may be impressed, in some
degree, by the Methodist constitu-
ancy. These coarse calculations
may be dismissed at once, if they
have prepared thoughtful reader
for an assertion and a question,
which may have serious, if not
solemn, meaning.
Methodists have full share of
responsibility for the ignorance, vice
and wsskedness found in South
Carolina to-day. What can they do,
throughout the incoming year, to
lessen the dark aggregatep"
Yea, verify, that full share OF
ignorance, vice, wickedness," shocks
and startles the thoughtful because a
fact, admitting of easy demonstra-
tion. In Barnwell the other day
three or four men were shot down in
cold blood at midnight dance, and
suspect the murdered, the murder
ers, and the dance, all belonged to
the Baptist and Methodist churches.
Who can tell the amount of hell
and misery in that half million
profit recently realized from the sale
of intoxicating liquors by the .dispen-
saries of South Carolina.
Who maintains that institution
the dispensarya
Whose votes created it2
The popularity of the concern is
growing. A vacancy paying a good
salary as supervisor or director in
the business would start half a dozen
prominent deacons and stewards q
scrambling for the place and position
You just try 'em. But, "Render
unto Caesar the things that are
C@sar's." Bah, Caesar has long ago
joined the church and the old booger
is corrupting men and things with
hypocrisy-what must we do to be
saved p-Circuit Rider.

WEDNESDAY, JAN. 90, 1909.
Engineer Fatally Injured.

PERT, Ind, January 15.-As the
result of strange hallucination j.
T.. Sible, an old and trusted engineer
of the Wabash railroad, was fatally
injured last night. Sible was at the
throttle of the locomotive of. the
limited which was laundering along
at the rate of 40 miles an hour.
When the lights of the town of
Attica appeared the old engineer
gave a start and shouted to Bnxt
Frick, his fireman: slump for your
life, Burt, the switch is turned 1"
The sentence was not finished, for
in an instant Sible had applied the
safety brake, reversed the lever and
had jumped to escape the specter his
harassed nerves had coniured up.
The fireman followed, but was not
injured. The train came to stop
and Frick went back to find his engi-
neer. The latter lay on the roadbed
horribly injured. His. skull had been
crushed, an arm and leg broken, his
ribs fractured and his spine injured.
He was carried aboard the train.
Meanwhile an investigation showed
that there had been no danger to the
train. The signal lights of the
switch showed an unobstructed path.

is said to have been due to 81 cent

Henry, with the consent of Emperor
William, will give a magnificent
banquet at New York on the Hohen-

Our National Population.

Recent figures given out by the
bureau of statistics at Washington
put the population of the United
States, including the territories
recently annexed, at s4,23S,00O.
In the Unites States proper there
are 75,994,575 inhabitants in the
Philippines 6,961,339 inhabitants
in Porto Rico 953,243 inhabitants
in Hawaii $4,000 inhabitants
in Guam 5000 inhabitants; in
American Samoa 6,100 inhabitants,
and at various military and naval
stations 91,219.
Thus it will be seen that while the
bulk of our population is contained
within the limits of our continental
domain there are portions of it scat
tered over the entire globe.
