The anti-evolution bill intro
duced in this years legislature

any teacher in a state institution
who upholds the evolutionary
doctrine. A distressing picture
is presented to my minds eye:
The bill becomes law. Around
Easter-time, when the trees have
budded and the flowers have
burst into bloom, the crowd
gathered at the post-office sees
a melancholy procession pass
along our sunny main street. At
the head of it is Police Chief
Featherstone with a batch of
warrants in his hand. Follow
ing him are the first culprits
taken into custody under the
new statute. They are the biol
Fogists and botanists: H. V. Will
son, w. G.. Coker, R. E. Coker,
and H. R. Totten, a trifle defect
ed but resolute in their faith.
The officer has arrested them
and is taking them up to Mayor
Robertson, sitting as a magis-
trate, before whom they must
give bond for their appearance
at the next term of court in
Hillsboro. The air buzzes with
excited gossip. A curious on
locker, bolder than the rest,
crosses the street from the post
office and questions the officer.
II couldn't arrest them all in
one day." he replies. "Tomor-

Somebody came into the shop

opportunity to read it and | hope
to publish some passages from
it within the next week or so.
Mr.. Wind, lecturing on anci-
ent architecture one afternoon
this week, was telling how the
slaves who built the pyramids
moved rhythmically, chanting as
they worked. AS he talked there
came through the window the
sound of the chanting of negroes
engaged in digging and lifting
operations around the Graham
Memorial. Africa at home and
