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. “Acting 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. AC~- pa Musicale.

Write plainly en von one cide of the paper, enema ens fof the Charlotte Observer, in ia Reply to a Recent Editorial. 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 don’t 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 the’ 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, “by 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. [CONTCNUED TOMORROW. | eS a A OE DA RE RR re 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 Pritchardite a lexder or cfiice | holder in tha Democracic party, without some explanation or con fession of his course, but his yoluctary entrance into the party, or his entrance i.to the party, or for our Popualist brethren. I 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 his entrance into a Democratic convention, even by invitation. would be all the confession or explanation I would demand. [| would put none on guaid ba Democrats. | But I would not consider a man a Republican or an enemy be- cause he did not agree with me the financial qu: stion. I don’t suppose any man in the State or party ever cordially endorsed all contained in any plattorm. But that 1s not the test’ 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 don’t 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 any avowed advocate or belief in the single gold standard ongnt to. he run for Congress or for Goy- ernor by any party which stands upon the Chicago plotform: Nor do I believe that any man who cannot, from convictions, stand on that platform should accept failed, and afterwards did al in 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, Powell’s 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?— Wilmingtop Messenger.
