TELLS OF MouNTAINEERs.

Rev. J. Thompson Baker, pastor OF
the Presbyterian church at Hamlet
and forme rly principal OF a college in
the mountains OF Tennessee addressed
a large audience at South Park Pres
the auspices of the Brotherhood and
the Young Peoples society Mr..
Baker took as his subject "Feuds and
Feudists" and told in a very interest
ing way OF his experiences among the
people Of the mountains of the south.
He referred briefly to the moonshin-
ers who he says are very much mis-
understood people. He told Of their
customs and spoke especially of the
pure stock from which the people
spring, among them being found peo-
pie OF the cleanest blood in America,
only lacking the educational advan-
tages to make them the very highest
type of citizens. They are by nature
very patriotic and deeply religious al
though both are of a primitive kind
because OF the lack of education. He
said that feuds are not the result of
personal dislike of one man for an
oLuST OuI ooSduSc lnoS hneAAi ihshci Vi
grandfather or even great grandfather
had had trouble he took it for granted
that the feud must be continued from
one generation TO another. Mr.. Baker
spoke for an hour and a half and
held the very closest attention of every
person In the audience Preceding
and following the lecture the Gibson
orchestra of Dayenport and the church
choir gave musical numbers.
