FOUNDED ED. NEW SECT
JOHN WRoE FOUNDER OF CHRIS.
THAN lsRAELITEs.
Had Many Followers, Particularly In
Australia, Many Of Whom Still
Believe That He IL
Not Dead.

The alleged bogus burial of the
duke Of Portland as bruce makes one
think OF John Wroe. He died in Coll
ingwood, Melbourne, February s, 1853
aged 81, and yet some fanatics appear
to believe that he is still alive, mas
much as he is reported to have said
he would never die.
Johanna Southcott died in 1914,
aged "a. Her followers believed she
would give birth to the Messiah, says
the Imperial Review. Six doctors tes-
tilted that they would believe she was
about +n become a mother if she was
young enough. A silvered cradle COST
ing S2OO was prepared for the in
fant and 8100 more was spent in
gold spoons, pap boats and what not.
Wroe was her first principal follow
er. With her sect as a nucleus he
formed the Christian Israelites. He
preached his doctrines for nearly half
century throughout Britain, Europe,
America and Australia.
A follower named Stanley gave him
$4,000 with which a temple was
built at Ashton, Eng Afterward it be.
came a theater. Yet Wroe never sue
.ceeded anywhere so well as in Mel
bourne. His followers there sub
scrfbed and bought him a mansion
Melbourne house-in Wakefield, Eng.
No portrait was ever taken of him,
as he forbade portraiture. He is de-
scr1bed as an exaggerated likeness Of
Gen. Booth, with hook nose, fiery eyes
hot
tlan lsraelites are also called Wroe-
ties and Beardies. The sect is still
prosperous in Melbourne.
Visiting its church, handsome
blue-stone place in Fitzroy, on a re.
cent Sunday evening we found what
was described as an unusually small
attendance-about forty ladies and
~ gentlemen. Twenty-eight of the
ladies' were in white straw bonnets.
The younger ones had them coquet-
tishly trimmed with feathers and
they inclosed pretty faces, too. We
thought of Carlyle's saying when
Queen Victoria came to the throne,
Poor girl. At an age when she can
hardly be trusted to buy her own bon.
net"
An outcome of the Wroeites was the
Fisheries. When Wroe died James
Fisher, charcoal burner of Nunawad-
Ing, eight miles from Melbourne, then
In the wild bush, tried to obtain the
succession. Failing this he made
secession. He founded the Church of
the Firstborn and obtained 100 fol
lowers, with an astounding corbina-
ton Of Wroeism, MOrmonism, Spirit
ualism and Freemasonry.

were small, but it is not a bust
ness method Of conducting
county affairs. All big counties
should pay salaries, and all big
counties should know the re-
ceipts by every official and the
source from which the fee is
derived.
Forsyth county, as the News
and Observer says, pays salaries.
In the official settlement of the
affairs Of the county on the first
Monday in December the report
of the register Of deeds showsd
that the fees of his Office during
the year amounted to $3,749.7 2.
The registers salary is $500
and the differences between the
salary and the fees is S1,249. 70,
which is saved to the county.
The salary of the clerk of the
Superior Court is $1,000 and the
fees in his Office for the year
ending:December LIST aggregated
S4,242. Is. leaving a balance In
favor of the county of $l,2l7.15.
The saving to the taxpayers of
the county from these two offices
alone is So, 466.87, and the liberal

The fact is. there is no argu-
ment in favor of the fee system
that will stand in the face Of the

The Fee System Should Go.

The Raleigh News and 0bser-
yer gives the Legislature good
advice in the following:
The fee system should go. Il
is not the correct way to pay
officials in counties with large
business. The last Legislature
abolished all fees to State officials,
who are now paid only by salary.
It lacked only a few votes Of put
ling solicitors on salary. The
previous Legislature passed acts
putting county officials in Gull
ford, Forsyth and Buncombe on
salaries. BY this change thou
sands Of dollars have gone into
the county treasury, and the
county officers have been we'll
paid.
It is time that the people
should fix the salary by law and
not let It be as much as may
come through the presented fees.
Inc county officials in every
county, whether psid by salary
or fee. should file q statement
with the county commissioners
showing every cent received and
from what source. The old
system, under which nobody
knows what county official re-
celved. might have suited when
the courts were few and fees

IT WORKED A CURE.
Aneedo.s Of an English Doctor Of III.
Last Century.

Sheeoose OF an En9bsh Ooctor OF tne
Last Century.
OF the eminent physicians Of
England during the early part of
the last century not one was more
justly celebrated than DR.. Syden-
ham. or the anecdotes of his med
ical experience, related by himself,
the following is worth telling:
For long time the doctor had
been consulted by a gentleman of
wealth and leisure who was per-
sistent in his demands for medical
help, who took all the medicines
prescribed, but who did not appear
to improve. At length DR.. Syden-
ham said to him:
"Sir, / have done all ! can. II
you would be thoroughly cured you
must consult DIR. Robinson at In
verness, in Scotland. He is exceed
ingly clever in such diseases as
yours, and if ! give YOU a letter to
him ! can assure you he win give
you relief
1t was long journey from Lon
don away to the extreme north Of
Scotland, but the patient had plen-
ty Of leisure. He had money
enough, he had good horses and car
riages, and, above all, he was anx-
ious TO be cured. So away be went.
But, arrived at Inverness after a
laborious iaunt OF fully three weeks,
he searched for DR.. Robinson in
vain. lie could find no such doctor.
And, what was more, he was credi-
bly, informed that such doctor had
never lived there. The patient bot
tied up his wrath, had his horses
hsrnessed and their heads turned
homeward, and the distance, which
had occupied him three weeks in
going, he covered in ten DAYS on
his return. Upon reaching London
he made at once for the house OF
DR.. Sydenham, upon whom he burst
like a whirlwind.
"Ha, Sir Georgel l am glad to
see you, and to see you looking so
WELL"
But no thanks to you, you grace
less rascal! Why did you so deceive
me?s
deceive you, Sir George?"
Yes. You told me | should find
DIR. Robinson, and you knew there
was no such man there. Now, what
Is your excuse? What is your ex-
planation?"
Sir George, answer me-. Are
you not better now than you have
been before for years? In short,
are you not entirely recovered from
that old mnlady%
The baronct thought little and
was forced to confess that such was
the case.
"That, sir, is my excuse; that my
explanation" returned the physi-
clan frankly 81 knew that a jour-
ney into the highlands Of Scotland
would cure you, and took the only
means in my power to send you of.
Had | told you the truth you would
not have gone. But to see DR.. Rob-
inson you we're willing TO venture.
So, Sir George, let us bless DR.. Rob-
inson."
And Sir George surrendered

Alleged VioIators Go Free.

The bunch of dove shooters, who
are alleged to have violated the game
laws by shooting doves out of season,
were again arraigned in court last
Thursday, but evidence sufficient to
convict could not be adduced and
cases against the whole crowd were
mol. pros.
1t will be remembered that they
were tried in Justice Phillips court
but witnesses refused to testify. In
the trial before Justice Logan several
witnesses talked, but claimed not to
be certain that anyone killed doves.
The defendants who faced Justice
Phillips were in court except r. M.
Banks, ST., who refused to come into
court. Justice Logan accepted state
ment from his attorney that Mr..
Banks knew nothing of the case.
An effort was made by counsel for
defendants to have all the cases tried
by jury so the mattuer would end, SO
counsel for Game Warden Johnston
announced that if each defendant
would go before jury and swear that
they had not hunted in violation of
the law that they would each be given
a jury and verdict of acquittal. The
defendants refused the offer, SO it is
probale that tho whole matteg will be
threshed out before the next grand
