Both Long Since Passed from Earth


all the temperance people in the world.
Temperance people are those who are
temperance at heart. They are the
church of the living God. Your

no doubt but some good people, are
all in one conglomerated mass called
a temperance society. This society
should have no aflliateon with the
church of God, nor state. and if they
can do anything with the people by
moral suasion, let them do it, but
nothing more. Let them have no
power to remove temptation, nor
bring anything in temptation, but
all things a. blessing. as God de-
signed them to be. The doctrine
that what a man eats or drinks Will
defle him. i, found nowhere in the
lids of the Bible; but is found among
the Scribes and Phausees. Pagans
and Mahomedans. Notwithstanding.

send some darkey or child for it in
order to hide for me.
You ask me to tell what mans
inalienable rights are, In the first
place, it is to observe the ninth COM
mandment (Which is not to bear false
witness against thy neighbor). This
you ought to have observed and not

The third epistle from Paul t,
John: | see, friend John, that frieut
Bob has limited me to one column
so that | cannot take a wild COOS,
chase after you,
You say, friend John, that was
little surprise that | would indulge
in such language as positive false
hood, - "lie, etc. | will say, FRIEND
John, that | am a man for the Scrip
lures, and | find these word, all
through them to certain characters.
Here are some: Whose deceit i,
falsehood. (P,alms, 119;l1s), And
some whose right hand i, right
hand Of falshood, psalms, 59:13),
Men Of high degree are a lie.
Psalms, G2:9. And some that ut
tiers from the heart word, of false
hood. Nsaiah, j9:l3). And some
that compa,,eth me about with lies.
Hosea, ll:l2), Ana some who are
forgers Of lies, " doh, 1870. "And
some who make lies their refuge,
Nsaiah, IS:l5). Dear John, all thess
characters | have seen and felt the
force Of their influence for the last
forty years. But, friend John, you
say it would be hard to convince you
that minister Of the 0 p |
would use any such language. Do
you not suppose that the people to
whom David, Isaiah, Hosea and Job
spoke the above words had the same
thoughts about them that you have
about me? But you say that you
have tried to excuse me on the ground
of my being old and childish; but,
friend John, there is no consolation
after all--that is, children and fools
tell the truth. So, on the other
hand, l have not only tried to ex-
cuse you but have done it, for saying
| made a broad sweep on temperance
people and that | will accept the doc
trine that Christ was a wine bibber
to suit my convenience, This you
know friend John, is false. But |
have forgiven you, knowing that you
are young, and the probability is
very good that you will never be
otherwise.
advised you to preach Christ with
the holy spirit. If that gave pos
session of the peoples hearts, you
would have temperance society of
Gods own making to bring forth all
the fruits of the spirit. There are
the regenerated and spiritual children
Of God, who need no affiliation nor
yoking with unbelievers to keep them
from getting drunk. This temper
ance you nor any one else ever heard
me say a word against. These are

He Gets The Trade.

The constant drop Of water
Wears away the hardest stone;
The constant gnaw of Towser
Masticates the toughest bone;
The constant cooling lover
Carries off the blushing maid;
And the constant advertiser
Is the one who gets the trade.

Poor Blackburn! The Federal office
holder of the east ad a few western coun-

Secretary Taft Talks Plain to Re-
publican Pie Brigade at
Greensboro.
(From the News s. obser

Secretary Taft was careful to make his
speech IN Greensboro ou the night before
the convention, before the row over the
Craftsmanship eliminated. We print else.
where that portion of his speech referring
to the negro question, and the constitution
amendment, the southern political ques-
ton, and North Carolina politics and North
Carolina politicians, with extracts from
his extended defense of the republican con
gress and praise of T. Roosevelt, ESQ.
Is it evident that Mr.. Taft, while under
standing little about political conditions in
in tho south, has touched elbows little
with the North Carolina republican office
holder and ofice-seeker, and as he looked
over the mob of doodles and other pap
suckers, Secretary Taft was forced to de-
clare .'in my judgment the republican par
ty of North Carolina could be stronger as a
voting party if all the federal offices were
filled by democrats. That was tough on
the Pie Brigade, every one with his mouth
open to get piece of pie or clinching his
teeth to hold on TO the piece he had al
ready obtained. But, as If that declaration
of their unfitness to hold Office were not in
suit enough, Mr.. Taft proceeded ito rub
it in" by telling that they ''did not deserve
success" until 'a0le, honest, and worthy
men are put up by the republicans for Of
tice." Mr.. Taft ought to have told his
hearers from what place in the North Caro-
lima republicans could import candidates
And If imported, how could Taft per
suade North Carolina republicans to nomi-
nate such men? They wouldn't have them
unless they could change their color! But
Mr.. Taft went further still in excoriating
the pie eaters of North Carroll ma where
''cVery thing is given over to influencing q
distant appointing power to choose partic-
uiar men to perform official functions in a
community politically hostile to those men,"
Such plain speech and blistering of the pie
eaters had not before been heard in q re-
publican convention since Judge Bynum' q
excoriation of the doodles two years ago :.
The speech would probably have been re.
sented but for the fact THAI the Butlerits
were saying: sListen how he is roasting
Blackburn's crowd, !" she is now peeiing the
hide off of the Butler gang" And for
once both were right.

Blackburn will not meet Hackett.

Greensboro, N. c., July Or. N.
Hackett has received the following from
Blackburn only this afternoon, though the
letter was dated July 7th, with reference
to Hackett's challenge for a joint debate
in the Eighth district: II am in receipt of
your letter suggesting an agreement for a
joint canvass and have referred the same
to the chairman of my com mittee."
The significance of this is shown in the
fact that Immediately after the republican
Congressional convention the executive
committee referred to had published q
declaration against joint canvass.
AS Blackburn controls the committee to
which he now refers, the letter is tanta
mount to declination of the challenge.
