10 There a Literal He'll?

Very few people believe that
there is a fire and birthstone
hell where he who is not saved
will be cast, and there burn
"eternally." Most of the "old
school believe just as they read
it and that you had better run
sinner for your house is on fire.
The Bible asserts things that are
figurative and which are meant
to represent p material act, and
unless persons are acquainted
with meaning of things they
read they had better not read at
all. While we hope not to be
classed as skeptic, but we are
in the category of what is called
the new thought and are opposed
to many things maintained by
our ancestors We believe that
there is God. but we do not be

the world of spirits, all of which
is beyond the comprehension OF
mao. We believe that men who
live bad lives are tormented, but
to say they are eternally burning
literally, is preposterous. The
fact that Christ rose need not
argue contrary TO our assertion,
for people were supposed to be
saved prior to Christ's death and
resurrection.

This being a question asked.
we leave the people to decide.
Their editorials are usually not
deep, they never or seldom speak
out the plain truth unquaIifiedly
like the Inter Ocean, Tribune,
Chronicle or Globe democrat.
They are afraid TO denounce lynch
law uncompromisingIy and with,
out reserve. They play peanut
politics. They are therefore made
defendants and must answer be :

Augusta Chronicle.


Columbia, S. c., Aug. 12.-The
railroad commission today received a
letter from Superintendent A. w.
Anderson Of the second division Of
the Coast Line regarding the COM
plant Chairman Caughman has made
against it for violating the rule of the
commission in failing to inform
about 30 passengers, who were kept
waiting here all Tuesday night last, ,
as to the cause of the delay in the ar
rival Of the Coast Lines train from
the up country. Superintendent An
derson blamcs the G., n. & l.. officials
for the trouble which resulted. He
says his Office was as much in the
dark as to the nature Of the trouble
as the passengers kept waiting in CO.
Iumbia for transportation to low
country points.
The commission, however, is not
satisfied with this explanation and
will have the officials Of both roads
here to show cause why the penalty

ply. Now the c., N. & l.. is operated
by a separate company, but it. di-
rcctors are Coast Line officials and it
Is run by the Coast Line road. The
cause Of the delay was a derailed
freight engine near Lcaphardi station
and though the passengers were new
er Informed asHo the cause rs the rule
requires, the c., N. & t., organiza-
tion sent extra equipment to the seat
of the trouble, and brought its pas
scngcrs into Columbia.
The exact daic for the hearing has
not yet been sci. but il will be held
in a few days. The outcome is anti
cipatcd with the kccnest interest, not
only because the Coast Line has
shown disopsition TO resist the COM

FIVE DAY INSTITUTES
D Mt Satisfy ke(skeaeat d lsv Csa-
ceraiae CerMll1sies.

Austin. Texas, Nov. s3.--The at
torney generals department has
handed down most interesting and
important opinion on the question OF
teachers certificates Il was the ap-
peal case OF Miss Lula Smith OF
Guadalupe county. from the decision
OF the state superintendent OF pub
lie instruction 10 the state board OF
education, and the board certified
the question to the attorney Kener-
ais department for ruling. The
question was whether four days
attendance on five days county
institute would satisfy the require
ments for the extension OF state
teachers certificate under the Law
Of 1905? The attorney generals de-
asmuch as in the opinion OF the de-
partment, the special provision In
the act referred only to attendance
on the three days institute and
that no amount OF attendance on
5-days institute would fulfill the re-
Quirement The effect Of this railing
is to forbid the state superintendent
from extending certificate for at
tendance on a five days institute as
a compliance with the state statutes
OF 1905 providing for the extension
of certificates. This ruling not only
sustains the position OF the state su-
perintendent but goes farther A log
ical result will be that number OF
certificates will be invalidated.
