written on the plates Other men saw

what Of It?
3. The Book OF Mormon, though seal
ed up and hidden away about 400 A. D.,
Is filled up from beginning to end, with
the phraseology Of our English Bible
Not only that, It contains hundreds
upon hundreds OF the exact phrases
and sentences, and about 20 whole
chapters from our English Bible which
was not published for about 1900 years
after the book was hidden away, IN
my former article, ! intended to state
that there are in the Book of Mormon
about 300 quotations from the New
Testament, and | am obliged to Elder
Roberts for Interpreting my meaning
that way for | did not Intend to say
that the two books Of Nephi contain
20 many quotations.
A VITAL POINT.
Now we come to a vital point. I
asked Elder Roberts to explain how the
above quotations could possibly have
been made IL the Book of Mormon is
honest In It's claim of being an ancient
book. And here Is his explanation:
Because Joseph Smith translated the
Book Of Mormon by means OF the In
ana Thummlm. II is generally supposed
that this translation occasioned the
prophet no mental or spiritual effort,
that II was purely mechanical; In fact.
that the instrument did all and the
prophet nothing than which a greater
mistake could not be made,
Now when the prophet perceived from
the Nephite records that Isaiah was
being quoted, or when the Savior was
represented as giving instructions in
doctrine and moral precepts of the
same general character as those given
in Judea, Joseph Smith undoubtedly
turned to those parts Of the Bible where
he found translation, substantially
correct, of those things which were re-
ferred to In the Nephite records, and
adopted so much Of that translation as
expressed the truths common to both
records
Now, II seems to me that the above
defense and explanation OF Elder Rob-
erts are fatal to his position, and that
of the defenders of the book generally
that II Is a thoroughly accurate trans
lation of the Nephite plates, by means
of the inspiration OF God and the aid OF
Trim and Thummim" And it seems
fatal for two reasons:
First-This defense places Mr. Rob-
erts III opposition 10 MS own WITNESSES
For two of the famous three Wit
nesses,' wholly differ from MIR. Roberts
as TO the method OF translating the
plates, and point out that Joseph Smith
had nothing whatever 20 do except sim
ply to read the English sentences as
they appeared in translation. Martin
Harris says
by aid of the seer stone. sentences
would appear and We're read by the
prophet and written by Martin, and,
when finished, he would say written,
and II correctly written, that sentence
would disappear and another appear
IN its place. but II not correctly writ

Alabama, who has recently returned
from an extended trip through tn, cot

20 per cent. In addition To suffering

WOULD PAY 100 PER CENT. A YEAR.

Newberry has rs prompt and as eii-
cient volunteer fire department rs any
in the State or in the South for that
matter. Even before the recent pur-
chase Of the horse hose wagon it was n
matter Of very general comment that
It was almost impossible that n
building should burn down III the city
limits unless it had gained Il great head
way before the alarm was sounded.
This was demonstrated time and time
again, and since the hrst-claSs and
modern equipment has been added. il is
still more true.
We have the water supply and the
pressure and we have the department
which is able and ready to use it.
There is one thing. however, which is
needed in order to make the equipment
complete. That is an electric fire alarm.
BY greatly increasing the efficiency OF
Ncwberry's already very efficient fire
department. this equipment would not
only make the town safer. not only
make it all the more impossible that n
fire i'll Newbcrry should gain amy head
way, but il would d 'rcaSr the rate ot
insurance within the city limits. and the
amount Of this decrease each year
would be equal to the total cost Of the
alarm.
Those in position to know say that M
electric fire alarm could he Installed for
$1,000 The insurance men assure us
that by installing an electric fire alarm,
the amount Of insurance paid in New
berry each year would br decreased
s., 900. The conclusion is simple. Al
electric fire alarm is an invcStmrn;
which would pay 100 per cent. each
year.
We would urge the Importance OF this
Improvement at once.

Hustled
RESIGNS
AS SUPERINTENDENT OF THE GUN.
BERLAND DIVISION OF THE BAL
TIMoRE & OHIO. RAILROAD.
Announcement Comes Live Thunderbolt
Out of Clear Sky.-May Result IN
Several Changes in the Service.

Frederick A. Husted has resigned Al
superintendent of the Cumberland di.
vision Of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad.
his territory being from Brunswick, Ma,
to Grafton, W. Va, and a successor Will
be named in few days.
The announcement Of Mr.. lIusted's
resignation comes like thundcrbolt ont
of clear sky. Only last April when
the superintendents on every division
were changed, Mr.. Hustled was given the
Cumberland division. Superintendent U.
B. Williams, of Wheeling, was made SUI
perintendent of the Monongah division.
1t is an open secret that the change was
not relished by those whom it affected
at the time, and this may have played a
part in leading Mr.. Hustled 70 resign.
He has been in the service of the B. s.
0. for years, is man thoroughly posted
on the workings Of railroads, and i
widely known throughout the state.
His resignation might mean the appoint
ment of Mr.. U. B. Williams as supcrin.
tendent OF the Cumberland division, and
further, it is highly probable that Super
intendent F. +. Blaser, of the Wheeling
division, with headquarters in Wheeling
might go to Grafton.
It is stated on the highest authorit,
that Mr.. Husted's successor has beef
chosen and he will be named in a few
days. This news will come as a pro
nounced surprise to the army OF railroad
men along the line of the B. & o., whe
have watched the career Of all thos.
talked of in connection with proposed
changes.

of beer here last night with instructions
for it TO be sent out tonight, This is
somewhat out of the ordinary, and those
who have learned about it are strongly

the election. 1t may be befnre the day
Il over that there will be rummies out
thcre who will not know how they voted
or whether they actually did vote. There
may be some booze on the other sila too,
and. if so, it will not only be election
day, but booze day as well. Tne supply
is hardly large enough to make the event
real interesting, but it looks as ii there
will be plenty of fur flying and the con,
scrvators OF the peace are likely to get
quite busy. Thee Citizens ticket s,ry

COMP ANY
Reduces Pay of Eight Thousand of Its
Employes.-cut Off One Hour in Or

office in Baltimore places 1862 men en-
ployed in the car and locomotive shop

basis OF pay, instead Of a ten,hOur basis
the latter having been in effect toH tue
past several months.
The officials Of the road believe that
the method Of reduction of forces which
has been decided upon is preferable e
The customary practice of reducing the
number Of employees, as it maintains the
entire force ofmen, and instead qt throw
ins any Of the men out Of employment
aiycs all of the employes an equitable
norton Of the amount expended. The
new rule will affect 5,s22 men employed
in the locomotive department and 2,l4o
II the car department. These two de-
partments. Of course, include the men enl-
pIoyed IN the roundhouses, car inspectors
Icnortmcnt and coaling stations.
The order came from the office OF Cen
ernl Manager Sims, and the men who are
q bc affected by the cut come under
the motive power department OF the road,
u which j. i. Muhlfeld is the general
superintendent.
General Manager Sims explained the
reasons for cutting down the hours work
cd at the shows as follows:
aThe action Of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad company in the matter is sim

shops on full time up to the present with
view OF getting the power in first-class

Mr.. and Mrs. A. c. Hanson have ar
rived here from Baltimore. They were

1t will be remembered that Mr.. Hanson

months ago for Baltimore. Miss Cora
PowellPowell left for that city the same
evening, but on a different train. The
report soon became current that they
had cloped and were likely married. This
was denied few days later in letter
from Miss Powell, It appears that they
we're not married then but. il is true
that they are married now, and they
readily tell their many friends 50. The
latter extend their hcartiest consratnIa-
tions, although it is somewhat late y do
