Publication of Politics
Begun by Anti-Graft Revolt

In the history OF American politics
the year 1905 will mark an awakening
of the nations voting citizenship TO
new realization of its responsibilities
and its powers and as the beginning
of the end OF the kind Of commercial

than II generation had held the mass
Of voters in thrall. The fact that the
national issues Of monetary standard,
tariff and Imperialism had been left
behind with the receding presidential
year and that the Republican party
was more strongly intrenched IN pow

phenomenal personal popularity with

REV. c. J. D. PARKER ACCEPTS,
He Will Take Charge of the Ports
mouth Church After All.

Durham, N. c., March 20.--Rev. G,
j. ID. Parker, pastor of the Second
Baptist church, sprung a surprise on
his congregation yesterday morning by
rendering his resignation. The resig-
nation is to take effect in May. prob
ably about the middle o. the month.
Rev. Mr.. Parker is goiSg to Ports
mouth to accept the call extended him
by the Fourth Street Baptist church
of that city,
Recently he was extended the Ports
mouth call and after a visit there he
declined, saving that he would remain
here. Since then the Virginia church
sent a delegation here, two of the deal
cons coming, and such pressure was
brought to bear that he finally de-
cided to reconsider his former decis-
ion and accept the call The deacons.
It is understood. told him that if he
would come later they would hold the
passionate of the church open six
months, year, or longer If necessary.
He then decided to accept the call and
leave here before June.
The congregation of the Second
Baptist church are now looking for a
pastor, or will be looking for one in
a short while. The board of deacons
have taken charge of the matter and
will act as a pulpit committee. This
church regrets very much to lose Mr..
Parker. He has been here seven years
and has done great work. He came
here direct from college.

Little Nine Year Old Girl
Suffers a Horrible
Death.

Little Eta, the nine-year-old daugh-
ter of Mr. Frank Massey, of Neuse,
nine miles north of Raleigh, was burn
ed to death in a horrible manner late
Saturday afternoon.
Mr. Massey had started to the field
where his hands were at work and
Mrs. Massey was in the back yard
feeding the chickens, the baby being
left in the house alone. Mrs. Massey
told one of the children to go into the
house ann take care of the infant but
instead the child went away to play
with other children, and when Mrs.
Massey returned to the house she
found that the baby was in flames and
she called for her husband The
baby did not live but a few minutes
after Mr.. Massey arrived, and when he
entered the room all its clothes had
been burned off and the little form was
charred, particles of skin and flesh
clinging to the floor when the child
was picked up. The dress of the child
had caught fire from the open fire.

The whole community was made sad
by the accident, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Massey have the sympathy of many
friends. The funeral was held sun

DIR. PITrENGER ON DIR. KILGo.
Resents SIurring Remark as to Lent
and Refers to SANDER Case.

Rev DR.. /. Mex Pittenger, in SER
mon at the Church of the Good Shep-
herd on last Sunday, took occasion In
the course of his remarks on the
duties of members Of the church dur
ing the Lenten season to strongly re-
buke those persons who make light Of
the days of penitence, and to refer,
particularly, to a recent statement
made by DIR. j. G. Kilgo, of Trinity Col
lege, as to some people who became
suddenly pious for forty days in the
year"
1t showed great degree of hypoc-
risy, said DR.. Pittenger, for man to
attack the institution of Lent in such
a way who was himself under suit
in the courts of the State for the
Islander of a fellow citizen.
While DR.. Pittenger did not call the
name of DR.. Kilgo, his remarks were
sufficiently pointed to leave no doubt
AS to their personal application in his
direction.
