KILLED BY LIGHTNING.
Young Jas. Briggs Instantly Killed
Wednesday.

Mail-carrier J. I. Harris came
to The TIMES office late Wednes-
day night and informed us of a
sad accident that occurred on his
route about a o'clock that after
noon.
A heavy cloud came up, much
wind and terrible rain. The
three Briggs boys, who were
hoeing in their field about two
and one-half miles this side of
Cross Keys, were hurrying to-
ward the house to escape the
storm. A stroke of lightning
felled all three of them. Two of
the brothers recovered from the
shock in a few moments, and
when they examined their BROTH
er James, found that he had
been instantly killed. No skin
was broken at all, but one side
of his face was redeemed and his
nose bleeding.
The deceased is Mr.. Jas. M.
Briggs, known as ''Plumer"
Briggs. He was a young farmer
about 25 years of age, and a
brother of Mr.. D. c.. Briggs, of
Union. who is with Turner &
Mayfield.
Mr.. D. G. Briggs left early
Thursday for the grief-stricken
home, and attended the funeral.
which was held Thursday after
noon at Padgett's Creek.

Brief History of The Church By The

And ChrOniCIed
BY REV. j. G.. LAWSON.

The Hebron Baptist Church,
which was then, and for several
years afterward, known as Tink-
er Creek Baptist Church, was
organized on August the 23rd,
1906, and was located about two
miles south of Union on Tinker
Creek, short distance from the
present home of Mr.. j. G.. Ed
wards. The following is copy
of the constitution of the church:
The Constitution of the Church
of Christ on Tinker Creek: Be
it remembered that on the twen-
ty third day of August, 1906, we
the subscribers, being duly and
legally called by a body of peo-
pie protesting the Baptist relig-
ion standing in Gospel order,
known hereafter by the name of
Tinker Creek Church, agreeable
to our call thereunto, have duly
examined the same people re-
specting their faith, principles
and order. After satisfaction OBJ
% ;tv Of Jesus Christ, set them
anart and constituted them as
church in gospel order on the
constitution of a platform OF the
Bethel Association, giving and
allowing her full and indepen-
dent authority to act within her
self as church properly organ,
lied, with full power of Gospel
discipline, to receive or suspend,
agreeable to the Scriptures, tax
ing that for their only rule OF
life and practice, praying that
the great Head of the Church,
Jesus Christ, may bless them in
all laudable endeavors to pro-
mote his cause on earth. Sign

The writer, visiting the site o.
the old church, found only th'
large granite stones that wer'
used as a foundation for tn
building, and an old grave yar'
to mark the spot. We foun'
many old graves, but as the,
were unmarked, we could onl
guess when they were made
The oldest marked grave wa
made in 1923, and contains tn
mortal remains of a man VIII

The first house of worship wa
made of logs, the dimensions b.
ing 20 x 20 feet. The organic;
tion was both numerically an
financially weak, it's membersh'
in the early days OF its histol
being about 25 or 80, and it's Ii:
for many years little more ths

Unfortunately, the records t
more than a half century OF
history are either lost or we

quick to adopt modern methods if they

Boomers have been suggested as the
proper apparel for Marion (Ohio)
school teachers. The suggestion was
made by H. H. DickersOn, president of
the school board. Whether President
Dickerson expressed the idea as a joke
or whether he was really serious is left
a matter of conjecture. But, whatever
his meaning may have been, the teach
ers are exceedingly indignant. The
suggestion of the board president came
as the result of a protest which the
teachers, headed by H. L. Frank
superintendent of schools, made against
the use of oil on the floors of the
school buildings. The teachers COM
plain that the oil soiled their dresses.

BoletiÌn mercantil de Puerto Rico. (San Juan, P.R.) 18??-1918, 1906-05-21

The Governor sailed from New
York on Saturday for Porto Rico, and
we naturally now begin to sum Up the
misfortunes, the untoward events
and the disa greeable things that ha-
We occurred during the acting gov
ernorship of Mr.. Post
Although foreseen and discounted
beforehand, the iii effects and mis-
fortunes are as hard for It's as for the
Governor, who comes to the Island
in search Of repose and tranquility.
And how will he find the Island?
1t does not require any great
amount of investigation in order to
arrive at the conclusion that the evil
shadow which pursues Mr.. Post has
had one of it's most sinister manif
estations.
From this time the Governor
should clearly understand that acting
governorships are not advantageous.
and least of all when they are in
charge of Mr. Post.
The ill-luck Of this functionary
.surpasses belief.
An evil shadow seems perpetually
to dog his footsteps.
Other citizens find it the easiest
thing imaginable to paw for whaf
they use, be it water, light or any
thing else
He does not. At the last hour-pos
sibly with the idea Of making d
good impression on Mr.. Winthrop
he intended paying for the water
which he uses in the Pink Palace
but it has not been SO easy.
There we're strong and cogent rea
sons which initiated against this
congregante settling the account fo1
the water consumed in the Pink Pa
lace and Mr.. Post apparently has nc
other remedy than to move.
After all. what has happened is
nothing more than a Legitimate con
sequence Of the abnormal condition
in which he has lived up to the pre-
sent time; when he has wished, thro
ugh force of circumstances and the
harsh imposition Of reality to chan
ge his course, he has found how i'm
possible it is to realize his desires.
BoletiÌn mercantil de Puerto Rico. (San Juan, P.R.) 18??-1918, 1906-05-21
Editorial

And if this is the case IN a matter
that might be termed domestic, that
is of minor Importance; if the pay
ment for the water he uses presents
insuperable difficulties and insurmo-
|untable obstacles, how is it that he
has not encountered difficulties still
more grave in his attempts to solve
the problems of government and to
manage public affairs?
Here his fall has been ridiculous
and tragic
There are the threatened strikes
which disturb the public serenity. the
terrible confagrations carrying DESC
lation and ruin iE their wake, the
trouble and confusion resulting from
the imposition of primitive laws and
fossil systems; and there are, IN short,
those unfortunate events, which swell
the list Of the daily scandals in this
lamentable period of an acting exc
cutive.
Mr. Post is capable of carrying
superstition to a people least prone
to such infection.
The acting Governor makes one
believe in fatality, in the evil shadow,
in the Ill luck which pursues men.
a Is If is not possible have anv
c4e ltt.e ~cre
and prudence 81 c-tain onela4s a
solution of things can only be looked
for from the good judgment of those
who appear to take more active part
in matters; and improvement can
only be hoped for in the good sense
of multitudes which viii have to
supply the deficiencies Of the author
tiles.
The last performance of Mr.. Post
is frankly and inexpressibly comic.
Thank God the distur bing and al
arming period is about to end And
there is unspeakable comfort in the
announcement that Governor Win
trop has started on his homeward
journey.
But we very much fear that in the
four or FIVE days that must elapse
before the end of the public misery,
something untoward and unfortunate
may occur.
