of the war at Kings Mountain; in the
Mexican War Tennessee volunteers

lowed Sam Houston to victory; IN
the Civil War Tennessee volunteers
fought for their convictions in the
armies OF the North and of the South
But the GROWING glory OF Tennes ee
volunteers was when they followed
Andrew Jackson through Tennessee,
Alabama, Mississippi and louisiana;
when they dubbed their hero "Old

spirit, energy and nerve; when they
eliminated the hostile red man and
made the Central South a land where

WHAT CHRISTIANITY
OWES TO THE JEWS
Clergymen Tell Their Congregations
of Traits Other Denou1ina-
tons May Well Copy

1t Christianity will teach its peo-
pie the debt 1t owes 20 the Jew It will
IN few years remove the prejudice
and for all times make religious per
secutlon impossible. Then, and only
then, will the various religions of the
world live together in peace and work
together for the glory of God and
the salvation of man
So said the Rev Dr. Silvermau,
preaching in the Temple Emanuel in
New York last Sunday. And while he
be spoke two Christian ministers
were telling their people of Christi
aoitys doAt tot he Fevs he r
Minot ] Savage, pastor Of the Church
Of the Messiah, and the Rev DR.
Frank Oliver Hall, pastor OF the
Church of the Divine Paternity, both

we cannot understand Christian
ity unless we know something about
the Jew, said Dr. Savage Whatever
we may say OF any other, there GER
tainly has been 70 people on earth
III many ways SO distinguished. so
remarkable, SO romantic, so wonder
81 as this. Think of its age. Like the
Gull Stream minglIng with and YET

ocean Of the ages from an antiquity
which is lost in the mists of the be-
ginning

pre- acher. q suppose a good many o.

cans against whom | think similar
charge might be made, and in just
these days and in the light of the re-
violations that have been going on iii
politics, in business, in regard to
many of our great corporations I
think we can afford to press this
charge very lightly"
Then Dr. Savage turned to the
characteristics of the Jew which the
Christian can afford to praise and
copy'-his loyalty, his charity, be-
novelence and philanthropy, his high
intellectual ability, the virtue of his
women, his eminence in the arts and
sciences
ooh, the Jew has suffered enough. ;"
cried the Rev. DR. Hail. at is time

out against his persecution. 1t is
time to see that the Jew gets his OPP
portunity"
Rabbi Silverman declared the Jew
should meet force with force, that he
has the same right to protect his good
name and home as any other citizen.
The Rabbi also urged his co-religion-
lists to help refute the charges made
against the Jewish people, which had,
ne SAID, for centuries past melted
bitter hatred and prejudice against
them. Not the least of these, said DR..
oliVerman, was the constantly repeat
ed charge that the Jews killed Jesus.
Jesus was killed, not by the Jews. h,
declared, but because he was lew
he was killed by the Romans, them
selves enemies of the Jews.

MORE STRINGENT LAWS
Greenville Capitalist and Banker
Writes to Governor Vardanan
on the Necessity for Them

The question of more stringent
banking laws for Mississippi, says
the Clarksdale Reg .ster, has been a
subject for discussion for some time
past among those interested, it being
the prevailing opinion that the State
should have an examiner IN lieu OF
an audior as at present. Mr.. J. b.
Matt, Greenville capitalist, ana
president of the Bank of Washington
has addressed the Governor on the
subject in the following language:
Il wish to call your attention to
the laxity of ourp resent State bank
ing laws, and he urgent necessity
for their amendment.
These laws were enacted to safe
guard the money of the people, but
their practical application is con-
slant menace, not only to the savings
of the people, but to the commercial
and financial operations of the entire
/ State
"a stringent system OF State Bank
examinations is an absolute neces-
sity, and no honest man can object
to such provision.
Our present system OF reporting
to the State auditor IS complete
! farce, and affords not the slightesi
protection to the public, but it fur
nishes easy opportunity for dishonest
bank officials to make false show
ing of the condition of their institu
tons. This is a fact of such com
mon occurrence that specification
are unnecessary. Furthermore, thi
system is unfair to the national bank
doing business in our commonwealth
These banks are owned and operate,
by our citizens, and they are exam
ined by the Governments officers
and in my opinion the people are en-
titled to as much protection to II
money from the State Government
from he national Government.
: Il feel that the State banks wot
be willing to pay reasonable fee
wards defraying the expenses of su
an examination. for it furnishes pI
lection not only to the people, b
8 to stockholders and bank officers"

But if their appeals to the voter,
