of a corrupt nature, shall enter upon an experience of sorrow and ruin terrible to contemplate, and from which there is no prospect of future relief. It was not for speculative, but practical purposes that Jesus taught this doctrine. It was that He might bring life to light, that He declared the doctrine of individu- al immortality. Rich as may be the re- wards of virtue, and sad as may be the consequences of sin in this life, their combined influence has not been sufficient to save any considerable number of men from following the leadngs of a corrupted nature. In the disclosures which He made of the future state humanity has found an added motive power for right eousness that promises to subdue the forces of evil and fill the world with right eousness and peace.
 Needed Today.
 This doctrine is as much needed today as at any time in our past history. There is wrong-dong in high and low places for which our penal institutions afford no terror. Nothing but the fear of hell will check and restrain these obstinate sinners. John the Baptist wrought his great work in warning men to flee from the wrath to come. The Wesleyan revival began with a company of men who saw the wrath of God continually hanging over their heads.
 The church Is suffering today more for want of men and women that prefer to lay up treasure in heaven than upon earth, than for anything else
 This doctrine ought to be often pro- claimed for the sake of our aged and infirm, and that vast army of invalids Whose hearts like untitled drums are
 beating.
 Funeral marches to the grave"
 Let it be published to that sad company "Who long for the touch of vanished
 hand,
 And the sound of a voice that is still" Let them be assured that the hope of reunion is not an insubstantlal dream. That the poet expressed the truth when he wrote
 External form shall still divide,
 "The eternal soul from all beside;
 And 1 shall know him when we meet"

fresh in the mind of the public.
1t occurred Saturday night, June
3, 1908, at Brunson's \ Roads,
when B w Brown, negro mer-
chant, was sta obed to deaf in
his own store by Epps Snowden,
also colored.' The cause of the
killing was the price OF eight

made some excellent suggestions
to the large crowd of negroes in
the court room as to the tenden-
cy to fighting and numbering one
another at heir social gather

Levi Sauls and R Fleet Epps,
assault and battery with intent
to kill, the State VS. G. Levi Sauls,
assault and battery with intent
to kill, and the State VS. Eddie
! H Carsten, assault with intent

the next term of court.
Judge Watts IS 4 general faV-
orite here both personally and
in his official capacity His
method of procedure in the court
room is business-like and pract.
cal and stripped of all supertlu-
Gus red tape. The consequence
is that there is no delay in the
work OF the court, which is con-
cluded in the shortest possible
time and the county thus saved
much unnecessary expense, In
our opinion, there is no more
capable judge on tile bench than
Judge Watts.
