IMPORTANCE OF
MANS CHARACTER
Theme Of Powerful Discourse by Or
Watkins at the First Methodist
Church Yesterday.

Drawing his logical deductions from:
the lessons taught by the twenty
fourth and the fifteenth Phalms, Rev.
A. F. Watkins preached a powerful
and impressive sermon on Character"
at the First Methodist church. at the
morning service yesterday. A large
congregation was edited by the clear
logic of the speakers thoughts, ex-
pressed in eloquent and scholarly Ian
guage.
One of the thoughts upon which DR..
Watkins dwelt convincingly was that
God in His Judgment of man had
no race prejudice. The lesson taught
by the Psalmist was that the moral
character of the man was the con
ditionof Gods favor. The query oil
what is the condition of Gods favor
was answered in the fifteenth Psalm
There was no other basis of judg
ment than character.
DIR. Watkins said he had once heard
Scotchman say that he would never
believe that "Dago' was as goot
as a Scotchman. The Italian, perhaps
would not agree with this sentiment
but the fact remained that Scotch
man was not as good as another mai
of whatever nationality who was ;
better man than the Scotchman. Th'
speaker strongly condemned snobbish
ness, especially in America, wher'
all men are born equal, he said. l
could be tolerated in a way in coun
Try where there are hereditary
| princes, but the drawing of socla
| lines of demarcation on the weigh
of a mans pocketbook was shamefu
in this great republic. 1t was tn
character and not these adventitiou
Lhings which made the man in God
| eyes. 1t was the relations OF a ma
toward his fellow man which const
tuted the true test.
| DR.. Watkins said he would not den
but that he would discount the rel
gion of that man who said he love
God but hated his neighbor.
At the close of the services tn
church conference was held.
An enjoyable feature Of the servo
was the singing Of beautiful solo
well-trained, sweetly modulate
voice by Mrs. Hayes.

NOT EASY TO EXPAND

MERIDIAN, Miss, September ID
The city government is facing prob
lem that has brought about a con-
siderable division of sentiment. At
a meeting of the city board, held re-
Gently, an order was passed instruct
ing the city attorney to prepare the
necessary orders for taking in num-
Der of surveys, divisions and subdi-
visions, many of them close in and
populous, within the corporate limits.
In some places the lands were not SO
well covered by houses. In all LOO
acres were added to the city limits by
this proposed extension. At meet
ing of the city board petition was
presented by a number of citizens pro-
testing against the extension, and the
Board of Mayor and Aldermen and
Councilmen sit Tuesday night to con
slider the matter. In some surveys
the people are willing to be taken into
the corporation, but there is likely to
be warm fight made by the resi-
dents Of other surveys against the pro
posed extension.

BIG INCREASE IN
TAX ASSESSMENTS
Lawrence County Reports a Fallin,
Off Of $75o,000 On Account of
Deforestation.

MONTICELLO, Miss, September
19.-The Board of Supervisors of
Lawrence county has been in session
for the past week looking over and
adjusting the assessment rolls, and
will continue well into this week. The
personal roll shows about 100000
falling off from 1908, and the land roll
will fall about three-fourths of mil
lion below the 1906 assessment,
caused principally from the cutting Of
timber by the mill men on the west
side of Pearl river, which is about
two-thirds of the area of the county.
The timber has practically all been
cut in the past few years, and in 1906
these timber lands were assessed at
$40 per acre, now the stump lands are
assessed at from So to SO per acre. In
July last the farmers voted down the
proposition to issue $4,000 bonds for
purpose of building a new courthouse
on the plea that they did not want 10
burden their children with this big
debt.

He would have spoken OF another day,
and as He spoke of no other day but
the Sabbath as commanded In the
scriptures, 1t is evident to me that the
seventh day is the only day we should
keep.
Read the fourth chapter of Hebrews
from the first to twelfth verses. Now
the only place we have to go to for
divine authority is the Bible, and if we
fail to find where we are commanded
to keep the first day, then we know its
commandment of men. Read Christ's
words in Mathew 15-9. Now please give
me the chapter and verse where the
Lord says that the first day is his holy
day or Sabbath day. Where and when
did he set it apart, or sanctify it, or
bless it, or commanded any one to
keep it for any purpose whatever.
The first word in the commandment is
remember" That surely means for
us not to forget Forget what? Why
the seventh day. Why? Because 1t Is
his holy day Why? Because he
sanctifled it and blessed it, and COM
manded it to be kept holy. Not some
other day. No other day was blessed
| or set aside by him, and no other day
is commanded to be kept holy. The
! first day can not be holy day for
the reason that God never made II
holy, and He alone could do so. All
mankind combined can not make one
moment OF time holy. The Lord never
gave that power to men. Please read
| Mathew 6-24 and Luke 1918 and
! Mathew 15-9.

FINE FOR the OPERATION.

The state of Iowa contains 56,O25
square miles, Nicaragua but 49,20O
square miles. Yet Nicaragua is large
enough to attract considerable atten-
ton Just now. It styles itself repub-
lie, goes through the form of electing
% president every four years, and has
q national assembly. But Nicaragua,
in common with some of its neighbors,
ifs republic in name only, and its as
semblies and elections have not been
permitted to become anything more
dangerous than bluffs.
The governments of the Spanish
possessions, or the parts of this CONT
nent that have at some time been
claimed by Spain, have caused more
trouble in the western hemisphere
than any other governmental factor
and also committed more wanton muir
fiers than any other government.
Those little punches of swamps and
hills composing Central America
should be taken care of and looked
after by the United States. Human life
will not be safe SO long as these little
Bo-called republics are dominated by
che Zelayas, Estradas and others OF
Spanish descent.
In 1871 nicaragua, SIudlelIldld, SOSIo
RIGA, Honduras and Salvador went to
war with Spain and gained their indie
pendence from that country. But they
did not get away from several genera
lions of would-be rulers and revolu-
tionists, who have been breaking out
ever since. Zelaya is one of them, and
he ought to be one of chain gang
cleaning up the streets of Managua.
The United States should now step
In and put Zelaya in jail down there
until it is decided just what kind of a
protectorate to put over Nicaragua.
While the government is about it, too,
It might as well include Honduras,
which Joins Nicaragua on the north
ern side. and which is now threaten
ing to pull off revolution and form
protectorate over both countries. 1t
will not do to take the control of a
country whose next door neighbor is
in state of revolution, SO Uncle Sam
might just as we'll make 1t plain now
as later that no more revolution will
be tolerated in Central America.
These little countries are inflicted
with lot Of wou1d-be Weylers, who
are utterly useless and worthless
sort OF appendices on civilization. 1t is
time for the operation.
