Lexington MethOdism as Viewed

tion with his paper. Mr.. Engle
wrote as follows:
Lexington, Va, where Rev. w.
S. Hammond is in charge, is, as
every one knows, a charming
town. AS we reached the parson-
age On Saturday morning, Rev.
j. R. Andrew, the presiding elder
and Rev. G. W. Staples, pastor of
Collierstown Charge, were just
leaving for the country. 1t had
been our good fortune to see some
thing Of Brother Andrew en- the
way from Roanoke. No man In
the eldership is making fuller
proof of his ministry than he.
Though, with the coming in of the
hot weather, the work in Roanoke,
which has to do with the extern
sion of the cause, cannot be car
ried on as aggressively, the plans
ere maturing nicely.
"But here we started at the
front door of the Lexington par
sonage, shaking hands with Broth.
er Han mond and his charming
wife and the presiding elder and
Brother Staples, and the first
thing we knew We are 90 impolite
as to be away yOnder in Roanoke,
as though Lexington Methodism
had not enough in itself to hold
our attention. 1t has and more.
Nowhere have we been so i'm
pressed as by the simple story
which Brother Hammond Incl
dentally told of how Lexington
Methodism. years and years ago,
won the respect and love of all by
the integrity and honor of It's pri.
vats members; and of how in the
membership today are men and
women whose names are as sweet
incense in the community.
"They treat the preacher well.
His home is on one of the best
streets and it is one of the best

is in favor with his people goes
without saying. Here the atmos-
phere is especially congenial for
him: and no better fit can be
found in the Conference, perhaps,

AS to Licensing DistiIIeries In
Dry Districts
KERR's CREEK, July 20.
! EnITop T,ryINcToN GAzrrrr.

KERR's CREEK, July 20.
EDITOR LEXINGTON GAZETTE
DEAR SIR: Your paper of th,
18th inst has been received, and VI,
note with pleasure what you have
to say In regard to the position Of
Judge Gordon of Amherst county,
on the question of issuing license
to distil liquor in a local option
district. And, as you say, we
believe this is the only way judge
has a right under the circum-
stances to rule.
The law of the land is made by
the people, and for the express
purpose of carrying out the will of
the people, the officers of the
law are elected or appointed, and
whenever an officer, by any means,
thwarts the will of the people, he
lie not doing what the law requires
of him TO do under the circum-
stances.
In our Kerr's Greek distric. we
have several Tires voted on the
question of local option, and each
time the people have voted this
district "dry," and now in the
face of all this, we have the as
founding Interpretation of the law
of the land, that Circuit Judge
can issue a license to distil liz .or
In our district, when iC is prac-
tically certain that the very put.
pose of making this liquor is to
sell it, and this sale of course is
made without paying the license
fee for selling, and therefore un-
lawful.
What possible. good can come to
Rockbridge county, socially or
commercially, by the Circuit Judge
licensing a few distilleries, and
that license given to men who have
the unsavory record Of having
dealt in contraband liquor2 What
would be the opinion OF an lntelli-
gent stranger, In passing through |
Rockbridge, when shown the two
distilleries, the one on Kerr's Greek
and the other in the Sensabaugh |
hollow, and then to be told that
Kerr's Creek is "dry" district,
and Rockbridge a "dry" county,
Would he not think these objects
a tiavesty on hrman law, and
human nature?
1t is burning shame to society
TO legalize In the name of the law, |
and protect such places under such
And our people ask
you, Mr.. Editor. to use your in
iuence and the power of the prsss
o do away with these miserh BILE
places, and we will help you all
nav VIC ChH.
Ii the poor unfortunate ones who
un these cess pools of iniquity
'annOt live or make a living with
nut plying their peculiar trade, let
hem go somewhere else and find
people who want such things in
heir midst, but our prayer is for
speedy and sure deliverance.
And we row give notice to all
Ulcers of the law, judicial or
therwise, that we must have the
aw fairly interpreted and hon.
