He kept his tongue well under bit, and

An Ancient Institution, Doubtless of
Jewish Origin.

An Ancient Institution, Doubtless of
Jewish Origin.
We must doubtless look to the Jews
for the origin of godfathers and god
mothers. The use of them in the prim-
tive church is so early that it is not
easy to fix time for their beginning.
Some of the most ancient fathers make
mention of them, and through all the
successive ages afterward we find the
use of them continued without any in
terruption. BY a constitution of Ed
mund, archbishop Of Canterbury, 1876,
and in a synod held at Worcester,
1910, provision was made that there
should be for every male child two
godfathers and one godmother and for
every female one godfather and two
godmothers. King Henry VIII, refer
ring to the Princess Elizabeth. says:
My lord Canterbury,
l have a suit which you must not deny
me
That is, a fair young maid that yet
wants baptism.
You must be godfather and answer for
her.
Henry WILL" Act 5, Scene 3.
A constitution of 1881 makes provi-
sion for q Christian name being
changed at confirmation. This is prac-
tically remaining of the child. The
manner in which it was done was for
the bishop to use the name in the invo-
cation and afterward for him to sign a
certificate that he had so confirmed a
person by such new name, It's posi-
BILE that this practice might have been
in Shakspeare's mind when he wrote:
Call me but love, and I'll be new bap-
tized.
Henceforth never will be Romeo.

sales prices were good, except that
some low grade cross-breds weakened

Weather conditions curtail outdoor
activities and especially affect coal
trade movements. Owing to car con

and ice in harbors affects deliveries to
vessels. Building activity has been
lessened by recent cold weather, and
lumber and building material for inn

About the smith Anpointment.

Dallas County politics has been much astir this week on account of the res ignation from the Board of Revenue of s. NJ. Kirkpatrick and the subse- quent appointment of Julien Smith to succeed him. A faction led by a Selma morning newspaper has condemned se- verely the appointment of Smith before the resignation of MT. Kirkpatrick was made public and the attack on the county officers and politicians by this faction has caused not only much in- terest, but sensational charges and counter charges.
 Directly after Smiths appointment it was charged that politicians had brought their influence to bear on Mir, Kirkpatrick to get him to resign and to recommend Smith as his successor, that the appointment had been secured by trickery and trcachery and that there had been a conspiracy between number of count! officials to have the Governor appoint Smith before the people knew of Hirkpa tricks resigna. tion. Tho newspaper in an editorial called on MT smith to decline the honor in order to maintain his self respect
 A reply was received from Acting Governor Cunningham saying that MT.

The city police and county authori- ties are looking for Will Brown and John Kahn, negroes, who they think tried to murder Doc Jones Thursday afternoon Jones is improving and it is now believed that he will survive. The police have given up the theory that he was shot by Ed Morgan, the negro who shot several times at Dep uty Sheriff Suttles and Policeman Smith the same day.
 It is believed that Brown and Kahn are hiding in river swamps near the city and the officers are searching for them. Their capture is expected hour ly. When the negroes made their way from the suburbs of the city after shooting Jones, it is said that they carried Winchester rifles and defied arrest saying that they would kill the person who approached them. Both are considered bad men.
 Jones was shot Thursday without provocation. He was moving his household effects and on returning to the house he had formerly occupied found several chickens missing and Brown and Kahn in the house. He reproached them for taking his chick ems and one of them shot him throurh the shoulder with d Wincester rifle
 The police think they will be able to apprehend the men with the assist ance of deputies. but they expect a fight to get them.

 Mrs. Force's term does not expire until January "A, 1906. I have never given the matter moments thought. It being the practice that National Committeeman Scott and myself make no recommendation for appointment until called on by the department, it can be seen how ridiculous the story is. Selma being the home town of Senators Morgan and Pettus 1t goes without saying that their wishes will be respected as to the retention or dis missal of Mrs. Force.
