A GOOD SERMON AND ITS LESSONS

The sermon at the Presbyterian
church last Sunday morning. WAS a
good one, as usual. The subject.
" Parental Solicitudc." was discussed
practically and solcmnly, and evident
ly made an impression for good upon
parents and others present.
Amony other solemn duties urged
by the pastor was that of the attend
ance of children upon the regular
services of the church. He said that
parents should see 10 it that their
children formed early in life, the habit
Of attending the weekly prayer meet
ings and regular Sunday services of
the church.
How to secure the attendance OF
children upon church service has long
been a problem with the ministers and
church people. 4 census Of the con-
gregations in any town on Sunday
morning will show that, practically. the
children are absent. On this particular
occasion they were conspicuous by
their absence, there being less than a
dozen perhaps, under twelve years old.
present 1t is true generally in all the
churches.
Without presuming to answer
the question, "why" or chow" a
few facts may be mentioned. One is.
that little or no provision is made for
children in the average church service

ranged with the view Of entertaining
and lnstructing the adult portion Of the
( congregation. The children are left

THAT FAIR GROUND INCIDENT.

As to the little row which occurred
Mt the Fair grounds in which Mr. W.
p. Payne, candidate for the Legislature,
took a hand, and which is being used
i'm the attempt to influence votes
against him, we desire TO say, that, in
fact, the incident has been magnified'
and n mountain made of a molehill.
Mr.. Payne, as we are reliably informed,
was told that his son Jay was in trouble
on the outside of the grounds. He
went out at once, as any father would
have done. TO see about it. and if
necessary defend his boy. He met his
son coming, his face bloody, and hav-
ing every appearance OF being badly
used up. He gave his father the name
OF one of the men who had attacked
him. Mr.. Payne went out side and
met the man who struck his son, and
had few words with him, and struck
him in the face, knocking him down.
Several parties rushed in, and the
affair was quoted without further
trouble. Mr.. Payne want back inside,
where his wife and daughter were, re
manning on the ground until late in the
afternoon, and then went 10 his home.
These are the facts gotten from Mr.
Payne himself, and are given To the
public in simple justice TO that gentle
man.
Was there anything unnatural or
ungenuemanly in this course? Would
not any other man, who had even or
binary interest in his son, have done
the same thing? No self respecting
man can think less Of another for
attempting to protect himself or family
from assault or imposition under such
circumstances. Votes or no votes, a
man would deserve censure and con-
tempt who should fail TO DO so. Only
the man whose parental affection and
honor is secondary to his love and de-
sire for political Office, would fail to
interpose, under like circumstances, for
the protection Of those nearest to him.
This little incident, instead Of losing
Mr.. Payne votes, will, We believe,
rather tend TO win votes for him.
The above is said in simple Justice to
Mr.. Payne, and would be said for any
other candidate in the field, under
similar conditions, regardless Of his
politics,

Henry and Mr.. Chapman appeared
before the board Of registrars Of Maiden
Spring District, at Richards, they in
sisted that it was the policy Of the
Democratic Party that no white man
should be DISTINGUISHED, and that MIR.
Payne controyerted their views in a
" reply speech" and contended that
the board should give a strict construc-
ton TO the Understanding Clause
and that the board "then adopted Mr..
Payne's views and continued TO refuse
TO register honest white men because
they could not answer satisfactorily
the questions put to them. Afterwards
two OF the members Of the board re-
coded from the extreme position OF
Mr.. Payne, but he stood to it,
We desire to say, in justice of Mr..
Payne, that we were the other two
