Last Monday was the hundredth birth

New York. who was really elected to
the presidency by the Democracy of
the country in 1876. Many of those

that time will remember the face of the
returns indicated his election beyond
question. But a republican congress
selected an electoral commission which
awarded the seat to Rutherford B..
HAYES. and another civil war was mar
rowly averted. The State of New
York fttingly observed the birthday Of
its former distinguished stateman, in
accordance with its usual custom. Be-
yond question, Samuel J.. Tilden was
one of the greatest Americans of his
DAY and it is a pity that the country
vas deprived of his services as its
chief executive at a time when strong
men were needed at the helm.

The uniformed guy who said that
there vas no suffragettes in Hender-
scnyille was sadly mistaken.
The H~endersonville water problem
some day will be an embarrassing one
unless increased supply is soon pro-
vided.
Without the sinews Of war it will be
a slow fight against the Henderson
vile telephone rates and therefore it is
to be hoped that the controversy is ap-
preaching its end.
The anti-suffragette should read the
article in the Peoples Forum if ne
would correctly know the sentiment
among the ladies of Hendersonville on
this interesting question.

Take Plenty of Time To Eat.

There is a saying that rapid eat
ing is slow suicide.' If you have
formed the habit of eating too rap
idly you are most likely suffering
from Indigestion or consultation,
which will result eventually in seri-
Il illness unless corrected. Diges-
ton begins in the mouth. Food
should be thoroughly m~asticated and
insalivated. Then when YOU have a
ful!nCss Of the stomach or feel dull
and stupid after eating, take one of
Chambcrlain's Tablets. Many severe
cases Of stomach trouble and consti-
patton have been cured by the use
Of these tablets. They are easy to
take and most agreeable in effect.

DR.. Carlisle Rcnews Hostilitjes.

DIR. Carlisle Renews Hostilities.
$50. Christian Advocate, June H.
We publish on the next page a
communication from DR., Mark /.
Carlisle, questioning our right to re-
sumo the editOrship of the Advocate:
and, also a reply from VIM. NJ. Jones.
Il counsel in this matter, giving the
Information asked for.
DR.. Carlisle sent this letter to the
Advocate for publication. We wrote
him as follows:
Dear Brother: Your letter OF
June | was received yesterday. It
is my desire that the hostilities in
our conference shall cease. am
sure that the laymen and many of the
preachers share with me in the de
sire for peace, for the church is be-
ing hurt by this strife. | am deter
mined If the fight is to be opened uE
again it shall be by those on the Other
side, and they and not or my
friends, bear the blame for the
continued bitterness. The board Of
managers has deemed il unwise that
there should be any further discus
sion Of this matter in the columns of
the Southern Christian Advocate
However, | take pleasure in giving
you personally the reasons for my
action ard theirs" And we gave
him briefly the same reasons given
by Mr.. Jones in his answer printed
on the next page.
But without waiting to hear from
us, II before the Advocate was pub
lished, DR.. Carlisle furnished copieE
Of his letter to the leading daily pa
pers Of the State. with request for
publication! Such a course on his
part naturally raises the question in
the minds of an honest public, whe-
Their DR.. Carlisle was really seeking
light, or trying further to iniure our
reputation.
Seeing that the matter has thus
been dragged before the public, there
seems no reason why the readers OF
the Advocate, who are M~ethodists and
interested in its welfare, should not
be informed in regard to the matter.
Any hurt to the church has already
been done. 1t is not anything that
we had to fear or anything that we
had to conceal for our own sake that
has caused us to wish for peace; but
solely for the good of the church and
Master whom we serve Our enemies
have done our reputation all the
harm they could. The more light
that IS turned on, the more clear
does my vindication appear. But for
the sake Of the church, it is with re-
great that we again see the matter
rcopened in the public press.
