BURG, VA.
We call especial attention to the Gd-
vertisement in this issue of the George l..
Witt Shoe Co., firm located al Lynch
burg, Va, in the midst Of abundant raw
material, cheap fuel and skilled labor
Those facts and their superhly equipped
factory enable them to do the tremendous
business that has made Lynchburg rank
sixth in the cities of the United States
in distribution OF shoes. Three great
trunk lines and the river serve them
for shipping and their unrivaled facilities
in the manufacturing line account for tire
fact that they produce shoes undoubtedly
better in quality than any of their com
petitors can offer at the same price. The
immense demand for their goods argues
well for their merit and for the tact
that they make shoes that are stylish
without sacrificing worth and wear. They
appeal to the taste by sight, and to the
Judgment by trial and all retailers and
jcbbers will look to their own interests by
handling these shoes. 1t is now demon
strated fact that frst-class goods can &c

The condemnation of the utterances OF
Messrs. Bassett and Massee has been uni
versal. This is we'll But the effort of
one paper to use these utterances to
hector the Raleigh Baptist Tabernacle
and the Trinity College trustees, must
also be rebuked. If the religious people
of North Carolina permit newspapers to
bull-doze churches or official boards. it
will be impossible to carry on denomina-
tional work in this State. Let a pastor
contemplate local paper degrading him,
calling On his church to abandon him; and
he will understand why we must destroy
the effort TO set this precedent that a
paper would establish at the capital of
North Carolina. Or contemplate news
paper making war on q policy of our
State board of missions or the trustees
of Wake Forest College and destroying
the confidence Of the people in them. But
just this is being done within an official
board of a sister denomination and If
we suffer this, we cannot resist the same
high-handed practice when it shall be APP
piled to our Baptist institutions. Legiti-
mate criticism is very well. We shall
never protest against that; but there
must he no hectoring no lording it over
Gods heritage.
plorable utterances should not prevent us
from condemning also an effort to hector
