 there was a tornado in Gainesville, Ga., in which houses were blown into fragments, e5 people were killed and three hundred thousand dollars worth of property destroyed. On June 6 Pa colet and Clifton in South Carolina were swept by a flood. A hundred peo- pie were drowned and three and half million dollars worth of property was sent sailing to the ocean. Man stands aghast and impotent before the mighty forces of nature. For we have learned to rule neither the wind nor the rain.
 Alleged A new system or
 Negro Slavery slavery has arisen
 in in the South by
 Alabama. the collusion of of- ficials and the governing white race. Under the guise of conviction for crime, and sometimes for no offense at all, negroes have been captured and taken to convict farms to be turned over to contractors for convict labor. They have been flogged, hunted with bloodhounds, starved, and sold from one contractor to another in direct violation of the law. A writer of one of the New York papers tells of negro who borrowed dollar and because he did not pay it just at the date agreed he was fined with costs and sold to a man for S25. He worked for the man for year and then was sold to another man for $40. For trying to get away he was fined again and 1t would take him until 1906 sto work out his fine. The correspondent asserts that this is only one case in ten thousand and that regular system of peonage exists in the state of Alabama whereby the black man is virtual slave. It is to be doubted whether the North will look calmly on and see the blacks made slaves again. The 14th and 18th amendments to the Constitution are there to be obeyed as we'll as the rest of the valuable and interesting docu- ment.
 The June IT was the Wesley date of John Wes- Bi-CeDtennial. ley's birth, accord ing to the old style, but in the new style of computation it was June 28. Great celebrations have been made over the birth of this truly great man, who was the founder of great relig- ious denomination. Yet Wesley did not wish to form new sect and lived and died in the Church of England. As late as 1787 he wrote, 'I still think | when the Methodists leave the Church of England God will leave them" His prophecy, however, does not seem to have come true. He preached a practi- cal theology with the three steps, re- pentance, faith and holiness. He did not live to see all the various subdivl- sions of Methodism, but he did do a great work in evangelism, preaching from three to eight times day, and riding five or six thousand miles a year on horseback. He reached the poor and the outcast and was true follower of the Master and a great soul.
