Trouble at Ruin Creek Church

The brethren" of the Ruin Greek
colored church Ca rather significant
name) near Dabney are having no
end OF trouble just at this time, and
the spirit OF harmony and brotherly
love seems to have entirely departed
from among them for the time being.
The church is split into two contend
ing factions, and it seems that each
faction has called apastor of it's own.
Matters came to climax last Sat
urday, and that night the church
bnilding was burned. Determined
not to be Outdone, ore faction went
out to the site of the burned building
Sunday morning and began to ar
range temporary seats in the grove
for preaching that day. Presently
members OF the other faction came
up, and very soon after an argument
sprang up among them with refer
ence to rebuilding the church. This
soon led to quarrel and the quarrel
to blows. A general row followed
IN which several of the 'brethren"
were involved, and as a result a num-
Der OF the Ruin Greek folks were be-
fore the Recorder here Tuesday for a
hearing.
Moses Branch was fined SIS and
costs for hitting one of his brethren
over the head with stick, and Thad
Ragland, Plummer Marrow and Pres
ley Marrow were each fined so and
costs for engaging in an affray.
The affairs OF Ruin Creek church ap-
pear to be in a rather bad way, with
little prospects OF improvement right
soon.
While it is not known who burned
the church, it is thought there is a
clue to the identity of the guilty
party or parties, as grave threats
OF burning had been heard to be
made by certain parties.

A Warning to Farmers.

One OF the farm journals this month
carries an article sounding a clear note
of alarm to the farmers of the South.
The hay crop for 191 | will show short
age of % per cent on account OF the pro-
longed dry spell in the North and North
west, and this writer goes on to say
that unless farmers throughout the
South meet this coming shortage by
making home grown hay, by next
spring the price per ton will lie $40 The
suggestion is made that for every horse
the farmer plant between now and
August lst, one extra acre in sowed
corn. millet and peas
Ii every farmer in Vance county puts
in an extra acre for each horse there

furnishings. 1t is undoubtedly one
of the prettiCst pOstoftice buildings
in the State, and every Hendersonian
is justly proud OF it.
After seeing the handsome cut OF
Col. W. H. Jenkins, which appears
on the first page of this paper, no
one will doubt that Henderson has
very fine looking postmaster, al
though those Of us who have the
privilege of meeting him and looking
him in the face have been fully aware
Of this fact before seeing his picture
in the paper And besides being
handsome, he is one of the cleverest
and most accommodating post
masters any town could desire.
The Louisiana planters and pro-
dncers Of sugar are making deter
mined stand against the proposed
reduction Of the tariff on sugar, con-
tending that any considerable re-
ductiOn in the duties would ruin the
domestic production of cane sugar
and that free sugar would annihiIate
the cane and beet sugar Industries
of the country. They declare that
it would kill the Louisiana industry
upon which two million American
citizens depend for a livelihood. 1t
is therefore not surprising that at
least a few Southern members of
Congress occasionally break away
from the Democratic platform and
VOtefOr protective tariff on certain
articles of Southern commerce when
there is such loud clamOr at home
for such a course. These members
are not ignorant of the fact that to
vote otherwise than their cOnstitu-
enCies dictate would mean their pO-
litical death and oblivion.
The most drastic campaign pub
licity legislation ever passed by eth
er branch OF Congress was adopted
by the Senate Monday afternoon.
and that practically without a dis
senting vote. 1t provides that no
candidate for the Senate or the
House shall spend more than a sum
equal to ten cents for each voter in
his State or district. No senatorial
candidate would be allowed under
the new law to spend more than a
total Of $4,000 in both the primary
and general election, and no candi-
date for the House more than So
900. Publicity must be given to all
primary campaign contributions
and expenditures. The general elec-
tion expenses must be made public
before election, beginning fifteen
days previous to election and max.
ing publication each six days until
election. If this bill should become
law, it will probably help consid
erably toward putting a stop tC
corruption in politics.
