What the Cheap Negro Does for

We have the reason stated in black on
white, by Governor Smith himself. He re-
moved McLendon, summarily and without
hearing him IN his own defense, because Nc
Tendon decided against the Atlanta petition
Tor special rates on iron-ware and coffee
Was this decision infamous?
DID the Macon platform call for special
rates on iron and coffee? Assuredlv not. Did
Mr. Smith In his campaign speeches promise
the people to make an effort to get reductions
on iron and cotfee,-leaving all other freight
rates untouched? He did not.
do the Macon platform pledge the reform
ers TO grant to the Atlanta wholesale houses
such inside rates as would enable them to run
Macon and Savannah out of their local ter
rltory? Certainly not. Did Mr.. Smith. in
ms speeches, give voice to any such scheme of
favorltlsm and injustice?
No. He wouldn't have dared to do If.
In April, 1903, the Atlanta wholesale
houses went before the Railroad Commission,
demanding reduction of freight rates on
goods billed to their city. The Commission
anonymously denied the petition
The members of the Commission then were
y. Gunby Jordan, j. Pope Brown and Judge
Spencer R. Atkinson. None of these are A.
I0ntG men.
Was the decision of these gentlemen wrong?
Was it Infamous? Did it cause them to be
bounded down with venOmous TRADES of the
most violent vltuperatiOn? Were thew treat
ed as knaves and scoundrels, and compared to
the vllest characters in sacred and profane
history?
There is one man, who bore public testi-
mOny to his confidence in at least two of those
Commissioners
Mister Hoke Smith had hardly got through
telling everybody how he won that ploriOns

Jordan as his fellow student, and hurried
across the briny deep with him, to study the
immigration question.
And as to J. Pope Brown, it is equally clear
that Mister Hoke does not hate him because
OF that decision against Atlanta-for didn't
Governor Smith recently appoint J. Pope
Brown Treasurer?
In 1904, the Railroad Commission was
again besieged by the Atlanta jobbers.
Again the Commission refused to grant the
special favors asked

and the two Browns, following the two de-
cisons that had already been made.
Was Warner Hill made infamous by that
ruling! No one has said so. Was Pope
Brown made Infamous by it? Hardly, since
he has one of the highest offices in the State,
and would have been Governor if Mister
Hoke hadn't wire-worked him out of the race.
Was Jos. NJ Brown made infamous by that

agreed with his Wild fanaticaI political notions
anu now, since he cannot be candidate for the

one would suppose from the temper mani
tested IN the clerical attacks on Watson that
he had been abusing somebody. But he has
not done anything of the kind
He has simply proved, By the foreign mis-
sa0n01'leS Themselves that they are saddling
our people with a system which expects them
to do more for foreign children than they are
able to do for their own.
Where does the Bible tell us to neglect our
own household and provide for the sons and
daughters of Cinnamon, Koreans, Japanese,
Africans, and Hindus.
Where do the Scriptures command you to
neglect the white boys and girls of your own
race and country, while you furnish money to
put up fine schools, dormitories and kinder
gartens in heathendom?
World Wide Missions, published in New
York City, is terribly rough on Watson for
taking the position that Charity ought to be-
CrI1o of IL.
there IS enough work in New York itself to
keep busy every missionary that is now law

field
The people of New York don't 90 to
church they spend Sunday at Coney Island,
Manhattan Beach, Atlantic City and other
resorts. Large sections of New York have
utterly repudiated Christ, and the churches
have moved away! (See Rev. Josiah Strong's

children in that one city who either 90 hun

from Washingtoz and ordered TO Picking

Mr. WI is now in Peru. TO which coun-
try he has been credited along with the

Announcement Of the recall of Minister
Wa came in a cablegram to the Chinese
legation. The recall surprised govern
ment circles here. Mr. WI has been the
accredited representative q China in the
American continents since March, 1903,
and during that time has done much to-
ward adding TO the reputation he estab-
lished among the people generally during
his first term as minister to America in
ISg7-19G2 of being one of the most popular
diplomats who ever came to Washington
His sympathies with the United States
during the Boxer trouble led TO his first
recall. 1t was reported then that ne was
to be beheaded, but this government
promptly minated that such a course
would be offensive to the United States.

DAY OF GRACE FOR
END OF THE WORLD
Peculiar Sect Await Additional 81
Hours for Expected Publication
of the Universe.

West DuXbury, Mass. Sept. %
The world did not come to an end yes
terday. although the 900 or more mem
bers of the Latter Reign of the Apos-
tolic Church. or Triune Immersionisls
assembled in their place of worship
TO await the destruction and 'purifica-
ton" of the earth by fire in fuliillment
of their own prophecy.
When the end did not come il was
explained that revelation which was
made to one of their number Thursd ~
night indicated that the destruction
was to be deferred until some time
during the "a hours beginning at s
o'clock last evening. One OF the lead
ers said that if TIE publication did
not occur before p IN. today II
would. in his opinion. be postponed for
30 years. Many of the believers eX-
pressed dissent from this statement.
Many OF the believers reassembled
last night for a long watch meeting.
1t is understood here that most of
the persons who are confidently await
ing the millennium have disposed of
all their worldly goods. All are said
to have contributed literally to the
Immersionists. for despite the belief
that after the expected dissolution ma
terial things would be of no value the
contribution box was passed frequently
at all services The leaders decline
to answer questions concerning the
use to which the gifts are to be put.
