The baseball game between st.
Johnsbury and Danville was the
most exciting game of the season

minute, pulling hard for the home

resulted in a score of to 10 in favor

won. Ham Morrill, made the star
play of the afternoon, making

good for two bases. Harvey Peck

THE PASSING OF THE SOUTH

A letter from Georgia, published
recently, points out the real problem
OF the south today 1t calls attention
to what the farmers and the states
are doing to improve the product and
increase the output, and tells of the
lessons given to boys, and the work
OF agricultural colleges for adults
Says the writer. The entire south
has awakened to the question of in
tensiye farming Money, brains and
energy are being literally given to
foster a higher development OF farm
ing The slogan of the farmer is,
not more acres, but more cotton and
corn an acre"
And thus "Finis" is written to the
page that holds the history of the
old south, the land of big plantations.
Soon that period will be remembered
only as a literary and historical pc
riod The sunny land of the mocking
bird and the oriole is developing into
the finest farm country as well as
the finest manufacturing section of
these United Statesmen YORK

WHY THE JUDGE QUIT FISHING
ON SUNDAY
(By ]. B. Lew

The following story has never been
told in print In the later years OF
slavery times there lived in Florida
a prominent Judge whose "besetting
sin" was going fishing on Sunady All
at once he suddenly reformed, but as
persistently refused to assign rea-
son for his change of heart"
Now, it happened that Ned" big,
brawny, burly. jet black native Afri-
can slave, lived on nearby planta-
ton 1t was a custom of "Ned's"
about once a year, as he had heard
the call of the wilds,' to run away
and hide himself in the woods until
hunger drove him back to the planta-
ton fesh-pots 1t finally leaked out
that Ned" was responsible for the
judges sudden conversion We will
let him tell the story:
Hit wus dis er way | been out in

CRY. De Jedge is settin' on de banks
OBJ Trout Greek Sunday maWnin' fish

perch. T'ink, says l, gwinter skeer
de Jedge off an git de fish. So drap
my clothes an slip down under de
bank, whar de Jedge am settin', an
when he turn eroun' ter put on er
new wur-rum, jes' slid inter de hole
an when he look back, jump right
outen de middle er de hole an shout
at de Jedge: Use de debble' He jes
hell over back'ar an yell: %,

Massa. o, Lordy, Massa! Sabe a po
rebel frum de big black debble, an
III nebber, no, nebber, fish on er
Sunday no mo-"
And he never did. Moral: There's
nothing like seeing things TO wake
a mans conscience and send him
shivering TO prayer meeting. Again,
if de Jedge" had just been fortu-
nate enough to have "imbibed" some
modern theories about Sunday,
etc. he might have fshed all day Sun
day and even de debble" could not
have sent him high-balling, fishless,
for home. with his "in'ards all froze
up" with scare.

AT THE GOSPEL TENT
From Fridays Daily:

From Fridays Daily:
There is a certain class of relig-
ious teachers in this country who are
teaching very dangerous doctrine
called MISUNDERSTANDING is, the
abolition of the law Of God Such are
spiritual anarchists, for the. result of
such teaching is the fearful increase
OF lawlessness, unrest and anarchy.
and the end is not yet, for if men are
taught by the leaders of the church
that they are not TO respect the laws
OF God they certainly will not respect
the laws of men, said Carlyle B.
Haynes, the evangelist and lecturer,
in a lecture on the Law OF God last
night 10 large audience in the COS
pei tent on Oklawaha avenue.
"The law Of God is that part Of the
scriptures which was spoken and writ
ten by himself and is called the Ten
Commandments. or Decalogue. 1t is
the only part OF the Bible which is
above Inspiration Il was Of such ire
mendous Importance that COD did not
commit it to men 10 write, but him
self descended upon MI. Sinai. and
wrote il with his own fingers upon
TWO tables OF stone.
This law IS said by David CPsa.
1870 to be perfect And he also de-
clares in the Nth Psalm, the It'll
verse that every part Of it was to
stand fast forever and ever Yet. in
the face OF this plain declaration Of
the Word of God there are those to-
day who dare to say that the entire
law has been abolished, and that
Christians are under no obligation to
observe its precepts They claim that
Jesus Christ abrogated it, But Jesus
answers them in Matthew when he
SAYS Think not that | an come to
destroy the law ana the phophets;
am not come to destroy but to fulfill. ="
Paul, in speaking OF this law,
makes it very .plain that faith in
Christ does not make void any Of the
claims Of the law, for he says in Ro-
mans 3:31, Do we then make void
the law through faith? God forbid;
yea, we establish the law Every
part OF this law should be kept by
Christians. In John pa the Lord
himself makes very plain what he
thinks OF those who profess to know
him and serve him, and yet refuse to
keep his commandments. In Pro
verbs 2>:9 he declares that he will
not even hear the prayers of those
who turn away their ears from hear
ing his law The love of God is de-
fined to be the keeping of the com
mandments in | John 5:3. The last
Christian church on earth is to be i
commandment-keep church. ac-
cording to the prophecies of Rev.
12:17, and Rev. 14:12, and only those
who keep the commandments are to
be admitted into the New Jerusalem
as is evident from a reading of Rev.
22:1 And the wise man sums it all
up when he says in Feel 1921 Let
us hear the conclusion Of the whole
matter; Fear God and keep his com
mandments, for this is the whole duty
of man."

Candidate Woodrow Wilson. in a
recent address at New Haven, Conn,
declared that he was in favor of the
initiative, referendum and recall but
made an exception in favor of the
judges. We are sorry that he did not
go the whole hog" for if it is good
thing to recall the legislative and eX-
ecutive officers of government. the
same rule ought to apply to the judi
ciary. The three coordinate depart
ments of government. it seems to us,
ought to rest on the same foundation
and ought TO be co-equal, none having
privileges or preferences over the
others.

DISTINGUISHING THE NEGRO

Mr. E. r. Gunby. in his letter ac-
cepting the nomination as candidate
for ngressman-at-large for Florida,
OF the bull moose party, it, speaking
of the plank aisf-anch SIG the ne
gro, says:
For many years | strenuously IA
yored this policy. | insisted that only
white men should compose the repub-
lican organization in the southern
states. First, because in my opinion
no party whose acknowledged Leaf
ers and whose governing body was
controlled by negroes, .ould ever be-
come a dominant part, and it never
ought to; and. second, because was
a real friend OF the negro, wanted 10
see him improve his condition and
get his legal rights and that protec-
tion guaranteed to him by the letter
OF the law
The national republican party did
what il could to oppose this idea, I'M
til under the absolute dictatorship OF
the two great negro leaders. Joseph
E Lee and Henry s Chubb, during
The last fifteen years. when popula-
ton, industries, manufactures, pro
ducfive values have almost doubled
in Florida. yellow fever has become
extinct and republicanism nearly so.
The national progressive party in
Chicago recognized this condition and
has made a party that offers me i
home. | personally urged Mr.. Roose-
welt to take this position in 1902 and
again in 1904, and he declined to do
so, but Paul, the apostle, was Saul of
Tarsus, who had seen the light from
heaven, and had lost nothing of his
mentality or brilliancy
This is only one OF the reasons
shat induces me to join this party"
