EXPRESSED REGRETS.

"When, at last, Mr.. Adams had
decided to recommend Mr.. Briggs,
he came to me with many explana-
tions and apologies, saying that he
regretted not to recommend my
brother on account of his very
strong endorsements, etc., but limited
at some very strong influences that
he had to consider, and said it would
relieve him and the situation of
much embarrassment if 1 would
consent to the appointment of Mr..
Briggs, 1 told him that 1 stood
squareIy by my former statement,
and that if he had reached that con-
clusion in spite of the facts, that
would make no further objections,
inasmuch as I considered Mr.. Briggs
entirely competent to perform the
public service efficiently. Then he
asked me to go with him to the
Postoffice Department., so that they
might understand there that the ap-
pointment of Mr.. Briggs would not
result in any friction between us. l
consented and went with him.
When he had made his statement he
called upon me to say that 1 would
not obtain, which 1 did. All this is
known by other people besides him
and me therefore, he cannot hurt
me and he cannot help himself by
such cowardly and base falsehood.
WHOLLY FALSE.
"Continuing, Mr.. Adams charges
that l made the first attack on him
and did it in an underhand and un-
manly way, and further says that at
the same time I made an indirect
attack on the Republican party of
the State. That this is also wholly
false is known to even the. general
public. I challenge Mr.. Adams to
specify when and where [ ever criti-
cised his course, except to his face,
until he attacked me personally in
the public prints. ALI I have ever
had to say about Mr.. Adams and his
methods / have said to him face to
face or in letters written to him,
copies OF which have kept. Every
body in North Carolina knows that
L have never attacked any one be-
hind his back or in a secret manDer.
All L have said about men and
things L have said openly and above
board, and in no unce, tain terms.
Even every Democrat in the State
will admit this. Mr.. Adams at
tempt to hide behind the Republi-i
can party Of the State, by claiming
that when I criticised him attacked
the party, reminds one of the meth.
DDS of Satan, who, when discovered
and exposed in the livery of heaven,
raises the cry that the Church is be-
ing attacked.
REPUDIATED AT HOME.
"Further on Mr.. Adams repeats his
charge that / have been repudiated
by my own people and am poIiti,
cally dead and ready for burial, and
follows this with the statement that
L have been guilty of treachery, du-
plieity and. ingratitude. All I care
to say in reply to this Is that I have |
helped to change my County from
one of the strongest Democratic
Counties in the State to one of the |
strongest Republican Counties. and |
that | have never yet been repudia-
ted BY majority Of the Republicans
Of that County, nor even By . ma !

New York, Nov. 25.-The second

week from tomorrow, will again be

fact that the task OF selecting a jury

approaching OF the holidays and the
prospects before the talesmen of

"Neheniah."

Nehemiah" was the subject of
the sermon the new pastor at Broad.
way Methodist church, the Rev.
C. T. Sullivan, delivered be-
fore large congregations at each SER
vice. DR.. Sullivan left this morn
ing for Paris to bring back his family
and household goods and will return
Wednesday to remain permanently.
In both sermons yesterday, Mr.. Sui
Ivan made a most favorable impress
sion and the subject as he handled
II was appropriate to the opening Of
the new church year.
True greatness, DR.. Sullivan said,
comes from God, and "Nehemiah"
was one of the greatest of men. He
was the central figure of a great
movement, just as all great world
movements have centered around the
personality of some one great man.
Nehemiah had strong building in
stinct, which Is the home instinct in
mankind, and he was inspired with
the important purpose of rebuilding
the breaches in the walls of Jeru-
salem. This greatness Nehemiah"
had, and his desire to repair the
house of God, should be the example,
DR.. Sullivan continued, of all
churches and individuals today. The
breaches in the churches should be
repaired and Gods work should go
on uninterrupted.
Nature in powerful explosives such
as radium, has simply concentrated
its force in a small body. and man
like Nehemiah" has in his soul, the
concentrated force of God, which
bursts out and demolishes error, leav-
ing a new order of things. This
concentrated power of God is avail
able to any one who will grasp it,
and If we do take hold of it, We
will clean out our house and hearts,
repair the breaches and waste places
Just as Nehemiah" did in a larger
way in Jerusalem. DR.. Sullivan said
the various reform movements in the
United States today are that spirit
of rebuilding the walls Of our ideals
and institutions.
