: INVITED TO GREENVILLE.
Baptist State Convention Asked
to Meet Here Next Year:
Services were held here Sunday in
~| the Kaptist church only and a large
congregation was presant both morning
and evening. At the conclusion of the
night services Rev. A. W. Setzer made
a brief statement relative to inviting
the Baptist State Convention to hold
its 1898 session in Greenville. He
said it was a matter in which the entire
town wes interested, and as the large
congregation before bim representud all
denominations they could express the
sentiment of the town, and asked all in
favor of evtending an invitation to the
Convention to meet here to stand a
moment. A large nnmoer ef people,
members et different churches and many
who are members of no church, rose to
their feet. oActing upon thir exnres-
sion indicating the desire of all our peo-
pie for the convention to come here, the
church held a conference and by uns--
nimous vote exienued the imvifation.
The Baptist State Convention was
organized in Greenville 68 years ago
and hus never met here since, and our
people hope this invitation wili be
cepted by the body.

Wr. Joserx P. CaLpwett,
Ekin Sir: Idid not expect to
t into a controversywith a per-
sonal friend onthe financial issue
by permitting the publication of
a private letter only intended for
the eyes of a friend. However, I
hope thereis no harm done |
know nove was intended. When
{I should pelieye the party. a,
_|and conclusively that he was a
advdcating the principles of that
platform, and ifthe party should
nominate uch aman knowingly,
traitor to ~its avowed principles
and in collusion with the nomi-
neé.
That is exac'ly what I believed
in regard to the nomination of
Cleveland the last two times he
received the nomination of the
party. There is nos a Democrat
two degrees above an idiot who
aided in nomination of Mr.
Cleveland the two last times for
President but knew positively
single standard advocate, against
the freo and unlimited coinage of
silver, 16 to 1, and that he would
veto any measure looking to the
restoration of silver. And from
my standpoint that is the crime
of the party. I donTt blame
Cleveland for being a gold bug,
but I blame the partv for nomi-
nating him, knowing he was a
gold bug and for standing by him
and following him in his fight
againet silyer, and if anybody
ought to be cursed, these are theT
fellows that ought to be cursed.
Not you, or those like you, who
were honest in your convictions
on the silver qrestion and stcod
by those convictions. But those
who carried chose convictions 80
far as to leave the party and voted
for McKinley in preference to
Bryan, ought not to be very
vcciferous in bragging about
Democracy.
T penned that letter my mind war
centered on that class of a
lists whom I believed to*% be
honest, patriotic and who still
believe in the bed-rock principles
of Democracy as taught amd ex-
plained by the founders of the
party. I did notintend to strike
atthe gold bug element in the
party in this State. But since
you ssem to think I mesnt to
ignore that element of the party
and did not desire their help to
dislodge Rvssell, Pritchard, But-
ler & Compaay, 1t may be incum-
bent on me to explain myself.
Leaving out your cutting crit-
icism and biting sarcasm hurled
at me, I will say that I would
apoly the verv same rale to our
gold bug brethren as I Jaid dow2
And while 1 am oppused to
abuse, and in fayor of opening
the arms of the Democracy, and
allowing its door to stand ajar,
and cordially inviting all to come
and join in the grand and noble
fight for the restoration of the
State into the hands of its friends,
and for the creation or restora-
tion of a financial policy or sys-
tem that will bring prosperity to
ail classes of our people, I would
not, I could not consent, if a
member of a Democratic conyen-
tiog, to make a MclKinieyite or
feated. Now, in my appeal in the
letter you, commented so sharply
on, but tairly,and courteously, no,
one, as | understand it, was nrged
to come back home, who did not
the party, and I said I would
win them back, oby argament,
reAsop, common sense and
brotherly love,� and not by abuse.
And that is the way I would win
back to the Democratic household
all the patrlotic, honest, misguid-
ed, deluded, single standard
brethren.

Is it a Deadly Blow.
Heigho! At last.aresction is
on against the germ theory. We
some how expected this. The
pendulum had swung so far in
One direction-~eyery thing was
from a germ"that 1n time it was
sure to swing to the other ex-
treme and be rejected. Perhaps
in this as in almosd all things else
the middle way is the safe, the
gure way. Dr. Thomas Fowell,
at Los Angeles, California, de-
clares that he has taken into his
system during the last ten years,
both by vaccination and subcu-
laneous injection, germs of the
most deadly diseases. He be-
lieves germs, incapable of suc-
cessfully assailing the tissues of
the living body ; that they are the
results, and not the cause, of
disease, and bring about decom-
position of the obstructing mat-
ter which constitutes predispo-
sition to the disease, causing
it to be passed out of the blood.
Dr. Powell does not believe
germ3 of virulent diseases to be
or hereditary predisnositiou to
that particular disease must exist.
In the presence of twenty-five
doctors be took the bacili of
typhoid, Inclosed in gelatine
capsules, into the stomach.
Then he took the bacilli of diph-
theria be both vaccination and

holder in tha Democracic party,

agree with you, that the gold bug}
Democrats who are honest in
their convictions, as are good and
loyal citizens, and as patriotic and
as honorable as any member of
the party. And I am as much
Opposed to vituveration and
abuse ofthem as I am to abuse
any other class of our citizens.
[have reached that period in
life to allow every man the right
to his opinions and the right to
express the same, without bring-
ing down upon his head the con-
demnation and anathe mas of his
fetiow mon, provided these opin-
fons do not comein conflict with
the rights of others. or strike at
the organiza ion ot society or
government. And in some cases
ana under some circumstances, I
would tolerate, yes, even encour-
@ge, this, 1 now say that the
Democratic organization, if it

convention, even by invitation.

But I would not consider a man
a Republican or an enemy be-
cause he did not agree with me

I donTt suppose any man in the
State or party ever cordially
endorsed all contained in any
plattorm. But that 1s not the
testT Tho testis, will you sun-
port the party and the platform ?
Will you after you have entered
the convention, abide its decis-
sion?
No man could pretend to be a
true party man, who went into a
convention and remained untilits
edjournment and did all in his
power to control its action, but
desires success, must ceass to
abuse any class of our citizens, |
gimply because that class cannot |
awallow at one dose all the orin-|
Giples of the Chicago platform, or
because they have convictions on
gome of our leaders or newspaper
men
Now, I donTt belieye that a man
who ita single standard advocate
ought to chairman of any com-
mittee when the double standara
is the issue, nor do I believe that

ernor by any party which stands

do I believe that any man who

his power to defeat its nominees,
Now, you must know as well as
I do, that the Democratic party
cannot win under the leadership
ef a gold bugin this State. But
that is not derogatory to the
character of the gold bug, nor
does it license auy member to
villify or abuse him. It will be
the height of madness, and an act
of lunacy in the party, to pat up
a known single standard advocate
for Governor, Congress or any
high office. Its aefeat would be
as sure as the ebbing and flowing
of the tides. And the gold advo-
cate knows this as well as the
silver advocate. And a party
that, would stultify itself and so
rom your own druggist, who will
guaranteea cure. Booxiet and sample |:
subcutaneous inoculation. The
physicians found no effect bad
been made upon pulse, respi~
ration, or temperature. Some of
Dr, PowellTs patients and oiem-
bers of his family have submited
to similar experiments, with the
same results. Dr. Powell offers
to take into his system, in the
presence of any jury of physi-
clans, the germs of any Geadly
disease that have been caltivated,
ifhe bs given time to eradicate
from his system any predisposi-
vion to the disease the germ rep-
resents,
Bat this is not all that is recent.
A learned bishop who has been
in the east trave'ling, has grown
sceptical as to the much coddled
germ theory. He went where
filth abounded and the result is
h» rejects thetheory. His health
steidily improved in the midst of
filth, and yet he thinks that while
at Jerusalem he must have, 1n
various wags, filled himself with
what the doc:ors call malignant
germs. So possibly another
theory has received a black eye it
will carry around. If Dr. Powell
cen do as is affirmed"we have
seeun it mentioned in two
charges"aud if the good bishop
can fatten on germs and: grow
better in healtn what is to become
of the theory that seemed so well
based? Isit a deadly blow?"

he has discovered that the laws

tice of polygamy. This is of
Gnsiderable interest in the

Doughtery sailed, and he was
goon popular among the young
princes, sven if he could net talk

sits near the table and records
the bets, and a setttement is made
after the game is over, This
prokkeeper is alse a linguist, and

caught apairof sixes about the

in av Illinois cavalry regiment
told of an incident ef the battle
of Jonesboro. He and his com-
rades had beea dismounted in the
edge of thick woods ard dis
mounted cavalry are the hardest
of troops to route. In front of
chem was an open cornfield a
quart r of a mile wide,with woods
upon its further side. Reinforced
bv a half a dozen companies of
infantry, possibly 1,500 federals
ley perdu. In blunder, 4 company
of confederates, no more than
ninety men all told, was ordered
to attack. With a yell the handful
swept out of the oprosite woods
and charged across the field. At
a distance of 100 yards a single
volley disposed of them. Those
that were left on their feet wheeled
and scampered back to their po-
sition. One however, remained.
He was the captain in command
and had been far in advance of
his men. When he found him-
self deserted he stopped and
folded his arms. Sixty yards
away, alone in the wide field, the
summer sun pouring down upon
the silver gray of his uniform, he
starea stanchly into the eyes of
1,500 foewen- He was vnly a
beardless boy, and the newness of
his clothing showed that he was
but a few days from home. All
down the long line of federals ran
aecry: oDonTt shoot hia! Don't
shoot him!� He gave the military
salute and marched steadily back
to his men. Nota gun was fired.

Washington, Dec. 7"Senator
Pritchard and Represeatative
Skinner reached the parting of
the ways today over the appoini-
ment of a collector for the east-
ern district. Mr. Skinner insist-
ed.-upon Mr. CobbTs appointment.
His rejection, he said, meant a
Democratic Congressman from
the first district and a Democrat-
ic Legislature next year. All
offers of compromise were re-
jected by Cobb. He declined the |
offer of bank examiner and also
~an offer to. alternate with Duncan
in the tenure of the office. The
outcome of the conference to
morrow will be the appointment
of Duncan as collector, and that
will be followea, it 1s said; by che
appointment of Chas. A. Cook as
district attorney. Col. Skinner
teft here for home tonight and
the rejection of his ultimatum: by
Senator Pritchard will lead, it is
confidently siated, to his renun-
ciatiow of co-operaticn and his-

Politics inthe Schools.
Not a great while age the Pop-
ulist executive committee issued
an address congratulating the
people that the public schools
had been otaken out of politics�
by the gaug that has put negro
committeemen in charge of white
schools. The truth is that the
public schools have never been in
politics until the fusionists came
into power.
Newa recently reached Raleigh
that the certificate of a schoo!
teacher in Forsyth county had
been revoked because he is a
@amocrat. Jn other counties
where there were no good white
teachers except democrats, & sys"
tematic importation of republican
teachers has been going on, and
the tone of the public schools has
been lcwered.
One of the first things the dem-
ocratic party will do when it re-
turns to power, will be to bring
order out of the confusion pro-
duced by the late school legisla-
tion and echool management. It
will put an end tomaking schools
the foot ball of secona class poli-
ticians."Raleigh News and Qb-
