MISS Janet Houston RubS IT In

Miss Janet Hay Houston whose defense of
modern mission methods was tenderly han
died in the Jefers0nian for September was
so displeased that she fired a little note at
me, requesting me not to mention her name
any more in the Magazine She declared that
argument, however lucid, would be lost on
me, and that what I needed was information
However, she can't make up her mind to let
me alone, for she has sent me a page, torn
from missionary periodicals. and she has
marked a paragraph in which DR.. j. S. Den
mis- (the idea of quoting a man named Den
nis) scornfully refers to ''the globe-trotting
man -the-world" who considers himself "a
walking oracle concerning something about
which he knows practically nothing.
Miss Janet underscores the words "prac-
tically nothing" with two pen-made ink-lines
as who should say, "That hits YOU, suhI"
Why, bless you, Miss Janet, I'm no globe
trotter. You're thinking about Taft-Bryan
Roosevelt.
And I have not pretended to know anything
about conditions in the foreign mission fields.
On the contrary my ignorance was so great
that I collected all the books, pamphlets, off
cial reports, missionary letters, ETC., and
made q study Of q0hat the foreign mission
aries themselves haze said about their mode
of conducting the ac0rh.
Wasn't that fair? Could the missionaries
ask anything more?

tons of the good times they have, of their

Enemies of the Country Vote

Mr.. Boykin Wright has come out volu-
minously in defense of the new registration
law; which makes it certain that gentle
man of color is hid somewhere in the wood
pile.
In 1892 and in 1894, Mr.. Boykin Wright
had thousands of fraudulent votes stuffed into
the ballot-boxes at the Augusta courthouse;
and thus disfranchised nine country counties.
AS to the registration lists of 1895, he
"padded" them with fictitious names, and had
genuine names roted By other men than those
qoho bore those Names
Sometimes one of Mr. Wright's repeaters
would forget the last name he was told to
vote, and he would have to return to the heel
er and inquire, "What did you say my name
was this timer"
Yes; that's the kind of man Boylzin Wright
is He and Hoke Smith are as much alike in
some things as any two that you ever saw.
Intense selfshness, greed for money, and ut
ter lack of scruple in going after what they
want are characteristic of both of them
This new registration law is bad one. It

Must We Also Monkey With
MethuSeIQh?

The American Indians, you know, used to
count time by moons. Something had hap
pened, so many moons ago; or something
would be done, III so many moons" in the fu-
ture.
knowledge of this fact inclines one to
believe that when the Bible says that Methu-
selah lived 967 years, it means that number
of moons, '-the Hebrews having, at that
time, the same way of counting time as our
Indians had. $50 the scholars are saying)
Consequently, Methuselah was not quite 70
years old when he left us. So, we need not
be envious of the old gentleman any more.
He got only his share, after ALL
At later date, the Jews began to reckon
five moons" as year. $50 the scholars are
saylng) This five-moon rule, they claim APP
plies to Abraham Isaac and Jacob Conse-
quently, those old fellows did not get more
than their share, either.
OF course, you needn't believe any of this,
unless you want to. These scholars don't
know 1t all, any more than you do.
| don't much approve of the way they are
acting, nohow.
When it comes to the Biblical account of
creation, they contend that ''days" mean
centuries; but when they go to monkeying
with the Patriarchs, they claim that years.

pretended to know A statement made at nv
house by Methodist minister who had been
missionary in China together with some
thing that was told me concerning Baptist
missionary, excited my curiosity. The result
was a laborlOus investigation of literature IN
fa0or Of Foreign Missions,
The weapons used came from their own
armory Some of the most telling points
made were inspired by such publications as
the reports of conferences and associations:
papers like Go Fo12cord, books like Bishop
Bashford's Goods Plan of Mission Work.,
and the DR.. Carpenter book, EMISSION Eco
nomcs'
No one has been asked to take my word for
a single fact. In every instance the authority
has been generally the page of the
book and the date of the missionary paper
Or magazine has been given
Therefore, if any statement made by me
was inaccurate, my exposure was made easy.
The only fact upon. which have been cor
rected was the statement concerning that gold
lettered Baptist church in Soochow. Dr.
Smith, of Richmond, Virginia, wrote to the
Christian Lnde~ stating that said church was
built with the funds of an individual con
trlbutor, instead of the collective funds of the
mlsslons-a distinction which makes little
difference.

had been made; Mr.. Bowers got his report
from Wakefield himself previous to the de-
livery of the lecture.
Both these reports are just alike in every
essential. They both represent Wakefield as
having made the very statements that caused

You will agree with Mr.. Bowers in think

Here is an issue of the utmost Importance;
you can not afford to let the matter drop.
Undoubtedly, Wakefield confessed that

thing that Wakefield was made to deny.
DR.. Bach has no conceivable motive for
telling falsehoods about conditions existing
in the Chinese field
But he says that Elsie Sigel cases occur
over there, too.

1t cuts the people out of two whole months
before the primary. It requires the regis
trars to complete and purge the lists by June
/, and to deliver the lists, alphabetically ar
ranged, to the clerk by June 5.
Between that date and the August primary
nobody can touch those lists. The registrars
can not put any name on or off.
Why are the voters robbed of those two
months?
Hoke Smith wrote to the Union Neaos that
the object of closing the collectors books so
early (April II was to give the registrars
time to purge the lists
That is not the truth. That statement does
not explain why the law leaves two whole
months between the final completion and
purglng of the lists and the date of the pri-
mary.
Why must registrars and voters lose those
two months?
This new law, with it's "closed season" of
SIX months, is more hurtful to the country
than to the town.
Messrs. Smith and Wright were in favor of
giving each city State Senator of it's own,
thus lessening the political preponderance of
the country counties.
These two crafty politicians were in favor
Of the new rules which would have given the
cities an enormous advantage over the coun-
try counties. Those new rules would have
revolutionized the system which has been in
existence over thirty years
And now come these same politicians driv-
ing at the rural vote again with the new
registration law.
