BOW THEY DO IN KANSAS

When people get married in Kan.
sas the press rises to the occasion
and does the happy couple as we'll
as itself proud. For instance
when there was a marriage IN Hut
Crimson the other day, The Herald
of that place had this to say of the
high contracting parties: "The
groom was q widower and stands
over six feet tall; his bride Is
short, not over four and one-half
feet, and to her intimates she has
always been known as Little Dolly
Bow Legs" 1t is these little in
formalities of journalism that make
life in Kansas a grand sweet Gus
sard pie. Our congratulations tc

vent and earnest prayers to Al
mighty God, that He would visit
Our churches and settlements by
the power of His Holy Spirit, and
carry on His well-begun work, un'
til many who are in the gall Of bit
terness may come to know the Lord
in the pardon of their SINS"
1t is safe to say that this resolu-
tion IVES carried out by the people
for they were strict in the obser-
vance of every religious duty es-
pecially enjoined by the church or
the Association. And it is safe to
say also that the Esprit of the
Lord was upon them" and with
them and that many souls found
the Lord in the pardon Of their
SINS" as a result. What worthier
object could have claimed their
"fasting, humiliation and prayer'
than that those in the gall OF
bitterness may come to know the
Lord IN the pardon of their sins."?
The writer can remember in his
early life when the custom OF fast
ing and prayer" was practiced by
Baptists, Methodists and Presbyte-
rians, and it does seem that in those
days the people were better Chris
tians, more trustful of each other
and of God, more brotherly love
and a greater spirit Of forbearance
and forgiveness. But who ever
hears of q church assembling and
engaging in "fasting, humiliation
and prayer" for a whole day in
these times of rush and hustle?
There is not that confidence, BROTH
erly feeling and liberation among
the church members of today
which characterized our fathers to
say nothing of their spirituality.
To day every man is in the rush
for the dollars-and if he can get
all his neighbors have he is that
much more the happier and rejoices
greater. The thought Of fasting
and prayer never once enters the
mind of the average church mem
ber, much less engaging in the
act.
We need to get back into the old
paths of our fathers in many things
are their examples OF
pure and undefIed religion worthy |
Of our imitation.

The RREESE CASE.
Trial of Former Asheyille Bank Preside deA: :

Trial OF Former AsheV1lle Bank HreSloeE!
May be geld This Month.
| The Charlotte Chronicle says:
It is believed that special term
of the United States court may be
held in this city in the near future
for the trial of the case Of against
Major William E. Breese, charged
with being implicated in the wreck
ing of tho First National Dank of
Asheville. The regular term of the
district court will convene here on
the second Monday, and this may
be followed by special term for
the trial of Major Breese. 1t will
be remembered that the case was
to have come up on March 9, but
it was necessary to postpone the
term on account of the illness Of
the wife Of Judge Mcdowell, who
was to have presided. There has
been no lntimation as to what judge
will be designated to preside at
this trial,
This is one of the most impor-
tant and interesting cases that has
ever come up for trial in the west
ern district of North Carolina.
Soon after the collapse of the First
National Bank of Asheville, sever
al years ago, it was charged that
the failure was due to the criminal
carelessness of Major W. E. Breese,
the president: Mr.. W. H. Penland,
the cashier, and Mr.. J.E. Dicker>
son, a director, of the institution.
Iu word, it was said that 1sel
men had deliberately robbed -
stockholders and depositors of the
bank. It was alleged that they got
the personal use of all the funds of
the bank save about $400 in mu-
tilated currency, and, that, to
cover the deficiency, they put up,
as assets of the bank, notes which
were endorsed by irresponsible peo-
pie.
The public is familiar with the
case against Major Breese, which
has come up for trial three times
twice in Asheville and once in
Charlotte. Judge Thomas R. Pur-
nell, of Raleigh, presided over the
first trial and Judge John Jackson,
of West Virginia, over the second.
The third trial was held in Char
lotte and was presided over by
Judge Mcdowell, OF West Virginia.
Each trial resulted in a mlstrlal.
The cases against Messrs. Dick
erson and "eDland are on call
fours'' with the Breese case, and
the result of the latter will indi-
cats the course the others will

Work on the Old C. X ". to Begin in
Short Time-Bids Called For on
Grading and Building
TraStlaS.

H. Fl. Prince, who with R. E..
johnson and w. T. Kreamer, is
interested in the rebuilding of the
old G. K. & w. road from Green
vile to the foot Of the Blue Ridge
mountains, said to a News man
that the contract for all the neces-
sary crosstles for the road had been
let, the crossties to be delivered
right away.
In a few days it is expected that
active work on the road will bagin.
As will be seen in the advertising
columns of the News, General Man
ager Prince has asked for bids to
finish the grade of the old c. K. &
W. railroad from Marietta to River
view, -,
Mr.. Prince has also advertised
for bids on the bnilding of trestles
on the road from this city to Ma
rietta. Those who wish to make
bid can secure profile and esti-
mates from Mr.. Prince.
There has been many rumors dur
ing the past few years in regard to
the rebuilding Of this road. It Is
the general belief now, however,
that the road is sure to be built by
those in charge-Messrs. Johnson,
Prince and Kreamer. These men
kave, as previously stated in the
News. purchased thousands Of
acres of valuable timber land in
the upper portion Of this county,
and to gain easy access to the tim
Der they propose to rebuild this
road to be known as the "Saluda
Valley Road"
For some time the people along
the route If the road have been
making an effort to have the road
rebuilt. In the past few days sew
eral Of the leading citizens of the
upper section have been seen by a !
News man and they are all thor
oughly delighted over the prospects
Of having all opportunity IL the
near future of riding to Greenville
in a passenger coach Or hauling
products to the city in a freight car
instead of the present slow process.
To have the old G. K. & w. road |
rebuilt will be a great advantage
to Greenville in many ways, it will
build up a.larger trade with that
section Of the county and place the
city in closer touch with the peo-
pie of the upper section.-Green-

JOURNALIST HERE ON VISIT
Harper's Weekly Gives High Praise to
British Newspaper Man,

A conspicuous British invader at the
moment is st. Leo Strachey, editor of
the famous Spectator. No one who
studies his portrait will question the
strength of the character back of the
countenance. but. to our mind, Mr..
Stracheys most pleasing characters
ties are his incisiveness and breadth.
1t goes without saying that his early
education was neglected, because, for
sooth. this is his first visit to Ameri-
ca; nevertheless, he knows deal
more of our country than many of our
selves know, and, while viewing our
idiosyncrasies with that amused toler-
ance which no true Britisher can hide
and which, in turn, is amusing to us.
he is the most conspicuous, constitu-
ent and stanch friend of the United
States to be found in London. He is
also. In our judgment, the ablest of
English journalists. 1t is well that he
should come here and acquaint him
self with our people. and 1t is fitting
that we should express our pleasure
of seeing him with our wish that he
might remain longer.-Harper's Week
