EDITOR ENTERPRISE:


EDITOR ENTERPRISE:
I notice in the Enterprise, an
article headed Methodist at
Baptist meeting" the writer did
not intend to get up any controv-
ersy, nor did he intend to cause
any trouble. 1t seems, however,
that some of my Brethren have
become offended and say that the
church, and myself is out of or
der, and it may be that we are.
If it was a Baptist table and
Baptist supper, then am free TO
admit, that both churches and
myself were out of order; but if
it be the Lords table and Lords
supper, then I have no apology to
make. John 6-54: Whose eateth
my flesh and drinketh my blood,
hath eternal life, and | will raise
him up at the last day" 2nd Cor.
3-17: Where the spirit Of the
Lord is, there is liberty And
l feel it the duty of christians to
partake of the Lords supper to-
gether. And / would like to ask
my Baptist Brethren who think
it such crime to invite Metho-
dists to commune with us, are
we preaching as God would have
us or are preaching to suit our
selves?
Ny Master tells me, to go preach
the Gospel to every creature.
You remember one of the De-
cip1es said-Mark, 9-38: Master,
we saw one casting out Devils in
thy name, and he followed not us,
and we forbade him, because he
followeth not us, but Jesus said,
forbid him not, for there is no
man which shall do a miracle in
my name that can lightly speak
evil of me, for he that is not
against us is on our part. Now
| feel sure that those Methodist
Brethren who we're invited to
commune with us at Prospect
church, were not against us. If
they were, they would have been
with us. God speed the time,
when our preachers will fight
denominations less, and fight the
devil more. We want repentance
and practical religion. The Lord
and Savior says, repent believe,
and be Baptised and thou shalt
be saved. And I am depending
on his word. l say God bless the
Methodist church. I love all
christian people regardless to
what church they may belong
and say without the fear of sue
cessful contradiction, all who have
been born of the spirit of Christ
are in love with all who are try-
ing to serve the Lord, and when
l get to Heaven, I don't expect to
meet a Baptist or Methodist
there.
There is neither ban nor free,
male nor female, but are all one
in Christ Jesus. would ask nv
hide-bound Brother this ques-
ton: Which is the greater wrong
to invite Methodist Brethren to
commune with us,or preach that
the ten commandments can't be
kept, and that God knew they
could not be kept when he gave
them? I think we had better ask
God, as the Publican did, to have
mercy on us, and help us to be
better people, for I tell you we
want to be better, and when we
have the grace of God in our
hearts, as we should, we are will
in to leave off denomination fights
and it will not be are you a Bap-
fist, or Methodist, but are you
are Christian. Hoping we may
all get right, and stay right, and
die right, so that we can go to
heaven right, where we can praise
the God of our salvation forever
and ever.

cruising to agree, submitted
majority and minority reports.
The committee stood five for the
majority and two for the minori-
ty.
Castor and a daring young
politician from the heart of the
Black Belt signed the minority
report. The majority report as
submitted, was merely a rehash
of the old platform on which they
had been defeated by Mcleod
twice, with slight additional i'm
parchment of the incapacity and
corruption of the state admins
tration. The delegates from the
Black Belt and the counties where
the Red Shirts had been holding
their monday parades received
1t with silence. General Worth S
machine cheered it vigorously,
and gave rousing reception to
their chosen champion who made
the presentation speech.
When CASTOR rose to offer and
defend his minority report, a
sudden hush fell on the sea of
eager faces. A few men in the
convention had heard him speak.
All had heard he was an orator
of power and were anxious to see
him. His leadership in the Revo-
luton of independence and his
subsequent arrest and imprison-
ment had made him a famous
man.
Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen
of the Conventions" he began
with a deliberate, clear voice
which spoke of greater reserve
power than the words he uttered
conveyed-"I move to substitute
for this document of meaningless
platltudes the following reso1u-
ton on which to make this cam
paign."
You could have heard a pin
fall, as in ringing tones like the
call of bugle to battle he read,
Whereas, it is impossible to
build state isnide of two anita
gonistic races,
And whereas, the future
North Carolinian must therefore
be an Angle-Saxon or a Mulatto,
Resolved That the hour has
now come in our history to elimi-
nate the negro from our life and
re-establish for all time the gov
eminent of our fathers"
The delegates from New
Hanover, Craven, and Halifax
counties, the great centres of the
Black Belt, sprang OH their seates
with a roar of applause that shook
the building, and pandemonium
broke loose! When one great
wave subsidized another followed.
1t was ten minutes before order
was restored while CASTOR stood
calmly surveying the storm.
Just before him sat General
Worth, pale and trembling with
excitement. The audacity of
those resolutions had swept him
for a moment off his feet and
back into the years of his own
daring young manhood. He
could not help admiring this
challenge of the modern world to
stand at the bar of elemental
manhood and make good its right
to existence. He was about to
summon his messengers and
rally his heutenants when Castor
began to speak, and his first
words chained his attention.
When the tumult raised by his
resolutions was in progress he
lifted his eye toward the gallery
and there just above him where
it curved toward the platform sat
his beautiful secret bride! His
heart leaped. Her face was

WILL STICK TO DIXIE.
Ex,Confederates Want Wording OF the
Song Unchanged.

At a recent Confederate reunion al
Columbia. Missouri, tumultuous scenes
resulted from a motion TO change the
words of Dixie" John c. Stone OF
Kansas City introduced resolution set
ting forth that the words of the song
as they now stand are childish and un-
becoming. especially when compared
with some other great patriotic songs.
Mr.. Stone suggested that the Missouri
Daughters of the Confederacy take the
matter in hand and rewrits the song
in more appropriate words.
Shouts of disapproval greeted the
motion. Scores Of veterans were on
their feet in moment protesting
against any change. Then some one
started the rebel yell, and the whole
crowd was at it for several minutes.
The yell did more than much argu-
ment might have accomplished, Tor,
when quiet was restored and the res
olution was put to vote, every man
present except one voted against it.
Just as the decision was announced
the band struck up Dixie and the
rebel yell was raised once more. Sew
eral hundred university students Joined
in the tumult and it was fifteen min
utes before order was restored and
the reunion again settled down to busi-
ness.

Women in Russia.

Mrs. Kate T. Woolsey. writing on
tWomans Inferior Position in Re
public" compares woman's status in
she United States with her status in
Russia. For example, in America mil
lions of wives have no individual con.
troll over their property. In Russia,
pm the other hand, for about two cen.
turies, every wife has been the legal
mistress Of her own fortune.
Where 5000 wives are deserted by
husbands In America, 500 such deser-
sions occur in. Russia No little girls
can be employed In Russian factories
thousands are SO employed In this
country. Finally, more women work in
the fields In the United States than in
Russia.
