REV. s. G. BARNES RESIGNS.
Pastor of South Church Must Take
Long Rest.

d
At the morning service at the
South church last Sunday, Rev. Ed
ward G. French, who exchanged with
DR.. Barnes, read a statement from
him with reference to the impaired
condition of his health Since his
experience with sickness last winter,
the work that he has done has de-
manded more strength than he pos
sessed, and has drawn seriously up
on his reserve powers. Despite his
hopes and best efforts to the con-
trary, he now finds his strength so
nearly exhausted that in order to
forestal1 a complete breakdown he
must free himself from the RESPONSE
bilities of pastorate, and takea pro-
1onged rest. He therefore rendered
his resignation, suggesting the coru-
munion service, Nov. 9Th, as his
closing Sunday, and announcing q
special meeting of the South church
next Sunday evening, Oct. 22ud, at
z o'clock, to take action on his resig-
nation. The meeting this Wednas-
day evening, and the service next
Sunday morning he expects to take
as usual.

pleasant one for her.
The 85th birthday of Mrs. G. Cas-
well was very pleasantly remember
ed by about so of her friends who
called Saturday afternoon to extend
congratulations and best wishes, thus
making it one of the happiest days
of her life. The parlor was prettily
decorated with autumn leaves and
bouquets of pansies, the latter being
the gifts of friends. She was the
recipient of a post card shower of
104 cards, a box containing a birth
day cake and other things to give
her pleasure from her son and his
wife at Concord, n. H., gift of
money from her son and family at
South Braintree, Mass, and many
remebrances from relatives and
friends hereabouts. None of the
members of the Seventy club were
able to be present, but all remem-
bered her with greetings. Prayer
was offered by Rev e. T. Fairbanks,
and refreshments of tea, cake,
cookies, grapes and apples were
daintily served by Mrs. Pierre Gin
gras.

LAWYERS ARGUE RESIGNATION
ACTED AUTOMATICALLY, DE-
SPITE WITHDRAWAL.
ENLARGES TARIFF BOARD
President Makes Two More Appoint
ments, Using Discretionary Power
Conferred by Payne AIdrich
Tariff Act.

Washington, Mar. THE question
10 being raised by lawyers in congress
whether Joseph Bailey of Texas is any
longer a member of the senate, not
withstanding the fact that he with
drew his resignation about six hours
after 1t had been sent to Gov Colquitt
of Texas. Some lawyers argued that
the resignation acted automatically
the minute the governor acknowledged
receipt of 1t, and that retirement from
the senate in this manner is not af-
fected by a governors refusal to ac-
cept the resignation.
Other lawyers are inclined to the
opinion that, the legislature being in
session. the resignation became auto
matically effective the moment 1t came
before the legislature, and that the
action of the Texas senate in voting
en- the motion to request Bailey to
withdraw his resignation constituted
formal recognition of it by that body,
The lawyers who take this view con
tend that there is very fine question
whether Bailey is not now out of the
senate.
Two More Put on Tariff Board.

designated by President Taft to con
tinue as chairman of the tariff board.

Gratis, according to plans, will post

until after they have had an oppor-
tunity to make a more complete in
vestgation.
This would make the extra session
short one probably thirty days
There is a probability that the prop
osition of amending the United States
constitution so as to permit of direct
election of senators will be taken up
in the coming special session.
The only other legislation likely to
be touched by the Democrats in the
special session is the reapportionment
bill. Tht bill increasing the house
membership to 433 failed in the senate
in the closing hours, chiefly through
the opposition of Senators Root and
Depew.

With the aid of Republican insur-

body will stand fifty Republicans and

actions in the past, there are at least
Ave insurgents who may be willing to
line up with the Democrats in their
revision of certain schedules of the
Payne Aldrich law.
1t Is the purpose of the Democratic
leaders of the house TO afford them an
opportunity TO demonstrate what kind
of revisionists they are. The situation
confronting the Democrats holds great
possibilities and yet 1t aboands with
perils.
The leaders OF the party have indi-
Gated quite early their general ideas
of revisions, though they have not
gone into specifications.
Champ Clark, who is to be speaker
and Representative Underwood, who
is to be chairman of the ways and

schedule by schedule revislon-that Is
to say, the passage of separate bills

was forced to leave the Methodists
on account of crime too unutter-
able rotten to speak of in print. The
letter further states that Dwyer Is a
liar, a dead-beat and hypocrite. The
writer volunteers to substantiate his
statements.
The case, gentlemen, SINNERS down
to this Mr.. Dwyer Is either good
man. bitterly persecuted; or he is an
evil man. worthy of condemnation.
If he is trying now to live Christ
tian life. then his past is none of your
business nor of mine.
If he Is not what he professors to
be, then his past is your business,
and my business. and the business of
all decent people.
These letters from the North are
written by men in high places-men
in whose word we must place conf
dence. We must not close our eyes
to reliable evidence of guilt. To do
that would be no less wrong than to
condemn without hearing.
This matter must be sifted.
Mr.. Dwyer is member of your
church. He is preaching from your
pulpits. You are, in q measure, re-
sponsible for him, and we look to
you for the truth and for justice.
If he is honest, clean, Cody, COM
mon decency demands that you rally
to his support, defend him against
his prosecutors, and place the stamp
of your approval upon his efforts
and his character. Make his vindi-
cation so utterly clear that no man
can doubt.
If he is not clean; if he is the thing
that Charles Bayard Mitchell says
he is, then you owe it to God, to your
church, to the people of your State
and to yourselves to kick him out of
your pulpits, and brand him before
all the world as an imposter and a
hypocrite, absolutely unworthy of con-
fidence.
Gentlemen, it is up to you. We
want the truth.-Robert Quillen in

and the Baptist Ministers of the
State of South Carolina:
Gentlemen:
AS some of you are aware, a man
by the name of T. Augustine Dwyer
is preaching and lecturing from the
pulpits of Baptist churches through
out the State Of South Carolina.
1t is understood that this man is
a member of the Baptist church at
Star. He claims to nave been con-
verted to the Protestant faith after
having been educated for the priest
hood in the Roman Catholic church.
He is man OF wide reading. per-
sonal magnetism, wonderful mem
ory, and considerable ability as a
public speaker.
His sermons and lectures in Foun-
tain Inn have dyided the people,
caused bitterness and aroused sus-
picion. He has made few close
friends and a few enemies.
A number of people in Fountain
Inn have written North to investi-
gate this mans past. The reports
received have been derogatory. a
letter received Friday evening from
Charles Bayard Mitchell, pastor of
the st. James Methodist Episcopal
church in Chicago, states that Dwyer
