A Visit at Vandalia.

Rev. w. NJ. White, pastor of tn :
Mexico Christian church, said III
his Newsletter last week:
The Newsletter editor had the
pleasure of visit to Vandalia last
Friday night. The occasion was a
Mems Banquet. There were full
ly one hundred of the leading men
of the community present. The
banquet was given by the men of
the Christian church, but men Of
Ill churches and no church at all
were present. There were three
addresses. One by Rev. Frank
Allen of Paris, ON The Man in the
Market Place; one by the Mayor of
Vandalia and one by the writer.
Making proper allowance for the
last it might be said that the
speeches were to the point and
favorably received by the large
body Of men present. We We're
especially impressed with the
strong, manly address of Van
dallas Mayor. We do not recall
an address by anyone on a similar
occasion that so much impressed
us. That little city is to be con-
graduated upon having such a
man as Mr.. Gatson as her Chief
Executive. The Christian church
at Vandalia is one of our very best
county churches and under the
wise leadership of Brother Nc
Laine, the present pastor, we may
look for splendid growth and
large things accomplished in thai
thriving city for the cause of our
King.

FROM NORTH CAROLINA.
The "Tar Heel" Country-Rev
Cobb on His Return, Gives
The Message an Inter
view.

Perhaps a few observations
made concerning N. c. would be
of interest to your readers.
We left Mexico April 10 and in
&c hours were at our journey s
end, 1,024 miles away. Here we
found Strawberries and fruits and
vegetables in a correspondingly
advanced stage.
One thing that particularly i'm
presses the visitor from this part
Of the country is the extreme pow
erty Of the soil and the small
acreage in cultivation. Another
thing is the great abundance of
timber; it is timber, timber every
where.
The visitor from Missouri will
also be impressed with the great
scarcity Of all kinds of stock, es-
pecially cattle and sheep, intact
we never saw a sheep while
a few Jersey cows. Chickens are
also scarce, as compared with this
country, and very high.
But the picture is not all dark.
First of all they have one of the
finest climates in the world, and
we of Mexico are as far behind
Burlington, our native town
which is about the size of Mexico.
in the quality of our buildings as
n. c. is behind Missouri in agri-
culture. All kinds of fruits thrive
there, especially blackberrieS
which reach great perfection in
numbers never dreamed of in Mis-.
souri,.
Another thing chat strikes the
Westerner is the tremendous
manufacturing plants and the
great number of them, mostly de.
voted to the manufacture of cot
ton goods. In these will be found
the secret of the cOuntry's great
prosperity. 1t will also be noticed
that only white people are employ
ed in them.
On our return trip we stopped
off at Asheville, n. c., that VOL
derful health resort. a city of some
10000. almost on the mountain
top, in a region of great beauty
and known as "The land of the
sky" Here we looked in on the
General Conference of our churcH
it's law making body, and heard
some very fine addresses.
just south of the city limits lies
Biltmore. the great Vanderbilt
estate, consisting of 10000 acres.
on which has been erected a splen-
did mansion, frowning down OF
the surrounding country like tn"
castle of some feudal lord.
High upon "a table land, ) mile:
west of the city, we found Nj,
Penrose Weidler, a brother of Mr.
A. B. Weidler. of south of Mex
leo, who is operating a poultry
farm, and having for a near
neighbor son of the late Presi-
dent Garfield.

BAPTIsTs ACT.
Cast Out" wet" and Violator
of State Law.

Joplin, Mo, May 5.-By un-
animOus vote of the 22O members
present, the congregation of the
First Baptist church tonight
adopted resolutions presented one
month ago by the Committee OF
Deacons, expelling former Lieu
tenant Governor S. H. Claycomb
from the church. This was done
because of his action in pu~-
chasing liquor in Kansas on SUI
day and quoting from the Bible
in an antiprohibition speech last
December. The vote was taken
without discussion.
Rev. c. H. Weltner, now of
Mexico, Mo-, helped organize the
Joplin church some years ago ami
he says that church is "all right. "
Mr.. Claycomb was not present.
Neither was he represented. He
carried out his determination TO
remain away from the meeting
and allow the congregation to act
as it saw fit. His reasons for fall
ing to submit defense. he ex-
planned in a published statement
yesterday morning, in which he
declared that the Rev. H. A.
Smoot, pastor, was disqualified to
act as moderator by reason of his
expressed displeasure at Clay
combs conduct.
1.-The rules of the church. " SAID
Mr.. SmoOt, "dO not allow a mem
Der who has offended as has Clay
comb an opportunity for trial. In
matters where individual conduct
is concerned. the accused may
demand a hearing. but in a case
such as this. in which the entire
church must bear the onus of a
members acts, the only repara-
ton that would be acceptable is
complete confession, repentance
and a request for forgiveness. IF
Mr.. Claycomb desired to defend
his action, either by use of the
Scriptures or by other means. it
would not have availed him in
this instance"
Following the vote, Mr.. Smoot
spoke for forty-fve minutes, con
graduating the congregation up
on its action, thanking the mem-
bers for their support of his
(Smoot's) position in the matt.
and uttering defiance to the
&" forces of evil" which he says
have threatened TO try to run him
out of town.

tiSt preacher out of town if he
didn't stop his persecution os
