CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SUIT.

Mrs. Eddy Directly Represent
ed.
Concord, \. H, June 10.-For the
first time since the Christian Science
litigation began Mrs. Eddy herself
was the actual plaintiff today before
Judge Chamberlain in the superior
court. She made no personal appear
ance, but the motions argued emanat-
ed directly from her. The opponents
of Mrs. Eddy claim that these mo-
tons are skillfully devised TO cloud
the main issue and delay the prosecu-
ton. They ask the court to investi-
gate and determine whether the Eddy
property interests are fully protected
and whether the next friends are
acting in good faith. It is expected
the outcome of today's proceedings
will be the appointment of master
to inquire into Mrs. Eddy's mental
condition.

BERRY DEPOT ROBBED.
..urglar Enters Station in Early Part
Of Night and Gets Away With S131
in Currency.


Newberry June 9.-Tonight at
arcut $50 o'clock the union passen-
ger station here was entered by an
unknown party I'd robbed Of s131.
The burglar gained entrance through
a glass window and the money was
taken from the cash drawer, that
stolen being in 81 and SO bills-al-
though there was SIS in silver and
$40 in gold in the. drawer it was not
n,olested, which leads to the theory
that the party who committed the
crime was frightened by some noise,
or was an amateur and could not
trust himself in the station too long
for fear of being detected.

was there the snap and ginger Of pro-
fessional ball exhibited by either
team. Score Greenville, 4; Orange

In the eleventh came the grand
finale. Richardson led off with a
Texas leaguer over second. Then the
grand stand and bleachers opened up
in grand style, and their great roofing
helped to win the game. Drumm next
up laid a nice bunt down first base

the dose; the bases were full, and no
outs. The roofers went wild Nc
Laurin and Murrow famed, and the
chances for victory paled consioera-

Our EnterpriSing P. M.

Eph Higgins. our accommodation and officious postmaster. has placed q new weather-vane on top Of the P. o. to re- place the one which was blowed off dur ing the awful wind storm of last month.
 The new weather-vane Is made out of wood in the form of q rooster, but 1t ain't as good a rooster as the old one was, In fact there is considerable doubt as to whether it looks like rooster at all. Alb skinner when he seen 1t for the first time asked Hen if it wasn't meant for a goose. Alb said he thought it looked more like a goose than anything else he could think of unless 1t was a pig. This made Eph awful cross and he ain't spoke to Alb since and wont look for his mail half the time when Ab asks if there is anything in the "S' box for him. Alb says unless Eph gets less i'm perdent he'll report him to the Postmas- ter General at Washington.
 This weather-vane is supposed to tell the people of Bingville which way the wind blows, but soon after Eph put 1t up we had a shower and the wooden pivot it turns on swcld up and now the blamed weat her-vane wont turn at all and as a result it always points north and south whether the winds blowin' that way or not. All things considered Ephs wealth er-vane is a good deal of a failure.

The Rev. Samuel Moore, our beloved pastor, preached rip-roaring sermon on Hell" last Sunday morning which was listened to by large and apprecia- tive audience.
 Far be it from us to criticize min ister of the gospel so long as he keeps within bounds, but 1t is our opinion that brother Moore jumped over the traces last Sunday morning In other words We believe that he went too far when he portrayed hell as lake of fire and birthstone where the wicked will be scorched eternally for their sins. We believe hell IS hot-hot enough for all practical purposes, and too alfred hot for comfort, but we don't believe it is as hot as the Rev. Moore says it is, and we challenge him to prove it.
 At the close of his sermon he had five people up at the mourners bench asking | forgiveness for their sins. Among them was Deacon Butterworth. who only last week skinned Hod Smithers something awful in horse trade After the Dea- con prayed a while he went back to the rear end of the church and going up to Hod asked him his forgiveness. Hod said he would if the Deacon would re- turn the $l0 boot money he give him. but the Deacon got riled up at this and aint spoke to Hod since he got forgived for his sins. It is our opinion that this red-hot sermon on hell won't keep Dea- con Butterworth from cheating his fel- lerman in horse dicker The cheating habit was born in the Deacon and he can't outgrow it.
 We don't believe in a preacher scar ing the members of his flock half to death by telling them that they are all going straight to perdition We ourself didn't recover from the effect of his sermon for two or three days, and have only swore once since-when we pied some type we was setting up for a sale bill in the Bugle office (we do all kinds of first class job work at this office on short notice and at reasonable rates) and that of course. was excusable.
 We hope that Rev Moore will not preach on hell again for some time-it's too hot a topic to suit us,

When Mrs. Hoskins woke up next morning she was surprised to find that Cy was not in bed with her.
