Pearl Melville and the Baldwln-Melville
Company's engagement commences to-mor
row night in "The Black Flag.” The man
ager has been asked to explain why so
niany free tickets are given to ladies. He
laid he knows that a standard drama at
popular prices in a novelty in the south.
He thinks there is money in it, and has so
muoh confidence in the merit of his com
bination that all he want; is to get the peo
ple to see it once. He is convinced they
will go again. In order, therefore, to give
the public a chance to judge of the merits of
tne company, he has distributed a number
of ladies’ tickets. His plan is very simple.
Any lady will be admitted to a reserved
seat free if she is escorted by a gentleman
or lady friend, who must, however, have
bought a reserved seat ticket. In other
words, a gentleman cau take bis wife,
daughter or sweetheart to the theater to
morrow night and occupy two reserved
.eats at the cost of 50 cents. This arrange
ment is good only for the opening night.
A telegram to Manager Johnson from Man
ager O'Neill of the Charleston Grand opera
bouse, where the company has been playing
a two weeks’ engagement, says: “The Bald
win-Melville Company played to immense
business here their second week’s engage
ment. The company gave excellent satis
faction.”
The Fleming Dramatic Association will
opeu the amusements after Easter with a
performance of “ Bread on the Waters,”
Walter H. Baker’s 2-aet drama, followed by
a dance, at Masonic temple, Tuesiay, April
4, for the benefit of the sick relier fund of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers.
This play is tbe Fleming’s masterpiece,
and it will be presented with a much
stronger cast than that of April, 1891, when
so successfully produced. The story is in
teresting; tbe sceaes pathetic and exciting,
particularly so in the first act, when
"Harry,” the leading charaoter, is falsely
accused by a schoolmate of forging tbe name
of his father, who drives him away from
home. The second act is one which would
capture the attention of a cultivated
audience. The father regrets the casting
off of his son, whom he believes innocent,
and being almost destitute and crazed by
the loss of his son. he, like "Dilly," “Lucy”
and "Mrs. Loring,” have not power to clear
him; yet after five years, in which time he
runs bis betrayer down, he returns and
proves his innocence.
Dunlap’s Stage News prints tbe following
notice at Lawrence HaDley and his new
play: “Larry’ will begin his southern tour
at Norfolk April 3. Tbe play in which he
will be seen is named ‘The Player.’ During
the first act of this play tbe heroine, while
witnessing a performance from a private
box, is overcome by the star’s aotiug,
swoons and is carried home, where her
father, a wealthy man, discovers she has
fallen in love with the actor. In this act
Mr. Hanley Is to appear in a ohange nightly,
presenting in the repertoire the most pow
erful acts from ‘Hamlet,’ ‘Romeo and
Juliet,’ ‘Othello,’ ‘Macbeth’ and other
standard plays. Providence has endowed
Mr. Hanley with the physique of a Her
cules, the face of an Apollo and the grace of
an Adonis. His association with Mr. Booth
and Mr. Barrett baa given him an experi
ence that their presence alone fostered and
developed. Tbe last time that Mr. Booth
appeared on the stage was at Rochester, N.
Y. During tbe progress of tbe play he was
suddenly disabled, and Hanley, who at that
time was a member of the company, took
up bis cue and completed the evening’s en
tertainment. Tbe same thing happened in
the case of Mr. Lawrence Barrett, who was
playing In ‘Richelieu’ at New Y ork. He.
like Booth, was taken suddenly ill during
the evening, and Hanley stepped into his
place. Mr. Barrett was driven to his apart
ments, and died a day or two later. In
these emergencies Hanley proved himself a
master of the legitimate drama.”

The Montgomery Advertiser prints the
following concerning the Central’s fight
with the city of Montgomery: ‘‘The city
has imposed a license tux of SSOO on the
Central Railroad Company for operating
the Montgomery and Eufaula division in
this city. A demand for the tax was made
some days ago, and the Central’s agent here
refused payment on the grounds of the in
terstate commerce taxes. In the session of
the city council last ulght tbe city attorney
brought the matter up. He stated the Cen
tral had refused to pay the tax and that the
road would make the same fight over it as
it is doing lu the Eufaula case, which ap
pears to be identical. The question was
argued before Judge Bruce a week ago on a
petition from the Central asking him to in
struct the receiver not to pay the tax im
posed by the oily of Eufaula. City Attor
ney Graham said he thought there wua a
difference between the Eufeula and Mont
gomery ordinances inposing the license tax
in question, but that he had been informed
by Col. Arrington, the attorney for the
Central in this city, that the ordinances are
the same. If such is the case, be saw no
use of bringing suit against the road for the
city. It would be better to let the matter
rest until Judge Bruce renders his opinion
in the Eufaula cate. Tbe council passed a
resolution instructing tha city clerk to
withhold prosecution of the Central’s agent
here until further action of the council. The
Central is determined to fight the matter,
and give it out that if Judge Bruce renders
a decision adverse to the road it will appeal
the case to a higher court.”

A RITUALISTIC RECTOR.
His Services Very Much Like Those In
the Catholic Churches.
Charleston-, S. C., March 11.—The Rev.
George F. Degen, the rltuailstio rector of
St. Stephen’s chapel, in this city, preaches
his farewell sermon and performs his last
services to-morrow. Next week he will de
part for Nashville, Tenn. The Rev. Mr.
Degen was brought here some time ago by
the church guild, and tor a time stirred up
things in Episcopal circles. Mr. Degen is a
very high churchman, anl officiates in
vestment* of the most elaborate kind. He
wears chasubles and stoles and berettas and
manaples and cassocks, has lighted candles
and crosses on the altar, and is attended
by an acolyte in a crimson soutan
and surplice and celebrates the communion
service very much atter the manner that
tbe mass is celebrated in the Roinau Catti
ol o church. He is an able preacher, and
withal looks the picture of an ideal Jesuit
priest when arrayed in beretta and cassock.
Tho services at the little chapel of St. S.eph
en’s in Ansou street, which, previous to his
coming, was closed. attracted quite a large
following, which embraced quite a number
of the leading young Episcopalians of
this citv. It appears, however,
that his methods were too I
rich, or rather too high for
tho local rulers of the Episcopal
church here, and after the retirement of
Bishop Howe, when the administration of
the affairs of the diocese passed into the
hands of the standing committee, objections
were raised which have resulted in his re
tirement to another and wider field at
Nashville, Tenn. This leaves Charleston
without a ritualistic church. At Dr.
Porcher's church the services are “high,”
but by no means as "high” as those insti
tuted at St. Stephen’s by Rev. Mr. Degen.
There is some soreness lu Episcopal circles
over the outcome, but nothing approaching
a rebellion or secession.

few days ago to have some of
the occupants ejected. Such resistance
was made that the sheriff desisted from
exeouting tho writ. A large number, how
ever, have been paying rents to Bryan, and
the resistance was chiefly instigated by some

able settlement will be made by the pay
ment of nominal rents. No collision is now

PANHANDLERS AT HOME.
NIGHTLY HIGH JINKS BY 6TREET
BEGGARS AT “THE RaST.’*
After Midnight the Blind, the Halt and
the Lame Bee and Caper—The Price
of a Drink Admits to tha fymposium.
The Doings of the Craft Exploited.
From the Sew York Nun.
Midnight is the beggars’ hour in New
York. It is then that their entreaties are
most strenuous, their tales of woe moat pite
ous, and, if occasion arises, their threats
most vicious. One reason for this is that
about this time the policemen are all stand
ing on tho corners waiting for tha relay to
relieve them, and the beggars find corre
spondingly less menace from the law. An
other reason is that the “panhandlers,” as
the beggars are called, are getting ready to
go home. It is their last appeal; the
‘‘going, going, goto,” of the
auctioneer. Within an hour after
12 o’clock the places that knew them know
them no more until the next night. Some
few there are who beg all night and sleep
ail day, but such oonduct is regarded as un
professional. The true religion of the pro
fessional beggar is to bog half tho night and
driuk all day with the proceeds, so at 1
o’clock tbe streets are pretty well deserted
by those picturesque gentry. To find them
later than this we must seek them in their
Ueus, places where no beings of delicate sus
ceptibilities and sensitive nostrils need
apply. The panhandlers have ooiue down
town ou elevated trains, and uptown
on Broadway cars; they have hobbled
in from Cortland street, and Liberty street,
and Park place on crutches and canes; they
have limped in from City Hall park and
lower Park row with legs beut and faces
bandaged; aud they liave ail met iu a few
insignificant-looking saloons in upper Park
row, tbe Bowery aud s me few of the ad
jacent streets.
There are three such places between the
bridge aud Chatham square on Park row.
They are close together ou the west aide of
the street. One of them rejoices in the
name of “Primers’ Retreat.” The other
two are known by the Lames of their
owners. All aro supported chiefly by the
professional beggars. The largest ol the
Park row places is a saloon called by the
beggars “Tbe Rest.” You enter it by a
wall door blazing with signs, which
give startling ideas us to tne reduction in
prices of all mixed drinks, and are replete
with information regarding the amazing
quality of beer obtainable by the expendi
ture of 5 ceuta, Tnere are two divisions of
“ The Rest, ’tne bar and the lodging room
in the rear. As each comer buys and con
sumes his drink he drifts toward the rear
room. Occasionally oue tries to reach that
haven without expenditure. The bartender
is on the watch for such.
“Hay there. Cully!” he shouts. "Yer
drink r yer git. Beet This ain’t no Oak
street station lodgin’ house." On buying
his 5-cent drink “Cully” is at liberty to
stay all night iu the rear room.
To the uninitiated the rear room would
seem to be a true land of healing. On en
tering it the cripples suddeuly become
sound. Blind men remove their bandages
and nod to their acquaintances. Crooked
legs straighten out with rapidity and one
armed men develop the normal quota of
limbs. Bent and broken consumptives
straighten up in to robust manhood. Hope
less-looking paralytics pick the knots out
of themselves aud challenge each other to
wrestle. The only real ailment known to
the place is the occasional development of a
case of delirium tremons.
“If it wasn’t fer th’ blue dovils an’ th’
coppers,” as Shivere Carlin of “The Rest”
once said in a moment of sobriety, “this
hero world’d be purty near too good t' live
iu.”
Hut Shivers is gone, to whatever place the
blue devils chose to conduct him, and many
of his comrades with him. A number of
them are still left to foregather at “The
Rest” of bights; old-timers, who meet to
count their gains and talk over old times.
For a consideration one of them conducted
a Sun reporter on a Saturday night, when
“Tbe Rest” was full, through the barroom
to asp it where, ooucealed, he could see ail
and hear wbat was going on iu tbe rear
room.
Around a big wooden table sat about two
dozen pauhaudlars, while the rest were
lounging ou benches against the wall, or
stretched out on the floor, smoking wretched
tobacco or cigar stumps picked out of the
gutter. All eye3 were turned toward the
table on which a man, who had been a hob
bling cripple in the morning, could be dimly
seen through the dense smoke executing a
merry dance aud twirling his crutches,oue
in either hand, with great dexterity.
“Go it, Danny!” they shouted approvingly.
“Foot'er out quicker.” “Do us er double
shuffle aot wid de crutches." Danny’s de
lad; beef to de heel, be is.”
Tbe crutches of “Diveuny Dan,” as he f9
called, twirle 1 faster and faster. They cir
cled above his head, behind bis back and
under bis legs; they changed hands with
bewildering ease and rapidity ; they whirled
above and around and in conjunction with
each other, and all the time Dan kept up
his lively dance to the whistling and stamp
ing of the spectators. When at length he
came down from the table in a flying leap
ovor his audience’s beads lie remarked ;
“De crutehiea is good fer more t’ings dan
a faked-up gait."
In answer to loud calls for “Split Char
ley,” a man with a scar that divided uis
nose lengthwise through tbe middle got
upon tho table and sang a ribald song.
“Split Charley" is a noted character in
“The Rest," from the fact that one cold
inter night he drove from his up-town
beat to “i be Rost” in a cab. When tho
panhandlers saw tbe cob at the door they
concluded that tbe police hod come to raid
the place and they rushed from tbe door
just as “Split Charley” stepped from tha
vehicle. Agteatgaspof amazement came
from the beggars. Then tbe questions fol
lowed:
“Hey, Charley, did some bloke die an’
leave yer a million?”
“Dinyezruurry th’ horse-pusher's da’ter?”
“Charley’s goenioff’n his head.”
“Where did yer find de gol’ mine?”
“Shut yer heads an’ come inside. It's
rum for th’ crowd on me,” was the ouly re
ply.
Howls of amazement answered this prop
osition, and there was a mad rush for tho
door. When the drinks had been distrib
uted, Charley settling with the barkeeper
in advoace, by special requast, the hero of
the hour explained:
“Why wndn’t I be a biokey w’en I got th’
rooks? It’s just fer a day, but w’en I got it
I use it. See? I turned a sleeper up on
Fifty-ninth street, sifted his covers, an’
pulled a double green an’ a yeller ticker
with a rope. Tuero yer got it, cold an’
straight.”
By this the listeners were made to under
stand that Charley, having fou ffl a luckless
fellow mortal in that condition described by
tbe law as “intoxicated and unable to take
care of bi uselt” on Fifty-ninth street, had
searched his pockets, extracting therefrom a
S2O bill and a gold watch aud chain. Char
ley’s bill lasted for two days. The proceeds
of the watch endured three days longer.
During this time Charley was an animated
olculiol pickle. When tho money wus gone
be we..t to work at begging again; but bis
reputaliou in “The Rest” was established,
and “Split Charley’s big booze" will be a
byword among the panhandlers for years to
come.
When Charley had finished his ditty a
man with a wooden leg arose and chal
lenged any man iu the room to a contest at
jumping from a standstill, for a glass of
rum. No on took the bei. They knew
“Beg" Kelly's ability iu this line too well, j
"Beg,” iu Lis character of unfortunate vui- |
erau, distributes bis lost leg over half tbe I
battle fields of the late war nightly on Burk j
row and the adjacent streets iu his off rts to
beguile nickels from tbe gullible public. To
his comrades, however.it is well known
that the missing limb is tha price that
"Beg” paid to learn that a ruilroad track
Is an unsafe place for a tramp to sleep ou.
His tramping days are over uow, aud he
can be found every evening somewhere
within a block of City Hall park. “Beg”
is auj all-round athlete. In spite of his
wooden leg he can cover the ground with
astonishiug speed. His gate is a sort of
bitch aud kick, ludicrous beyond expres
sion, but it takes a lively run to treat it. To
this more than one poiioeman cau bear wit
ness. It is as a fighter, however, that
“Beg” rises preeminent. His method is
peculiar. Shaker Huusel, who guts his
name from tho expert manner In which he
feigns palsy, was the man who first brought
out Beg’s anility as a fighter. Shaker and
Peg both wanted the same boats on the
same night. The streets on which each pan
handler is to work arc asstgued by schedule.
The ooveted beat fell to Beg. Shaker,
thiuklug a 1-legged man would be easy to
impose upon, trespassed ou the cripple’s
beat. Beg said nothing at the time, but
when the crowd mot at “The Rest” that
night ho challenged Shaker to combat. The
challenge was promptly accepted. Shaker,
who was taller and heavier than his oppo
nent, was a hot favorite in the bettiug.
Johnny Carson was chosen referee. He an
nounced tho rules of tha fight as follows:
“De rules is dat yer kin do anvt’iug but
step on de odder bloke’s mug w'en he’s
down. De bloke dat don’ squaak after 1
count twenty five fer him, or who says he's
got enough is licked. Rounds is two min
utes. Here’s lookin’ at ver both an’ may de
best mug win. Two drinks cf giu ter oue
dat Shaker licks ’im.”
Shaker had all the best of it in the first
round. He pounded his wooden-legged vic
tim all over the room and got only two or
three punches in return. The second round
began tbe same way. Then a queer thing
happened. Beg went flat on his beok, the
motive power being Shaker s ti t. lustead
of arising he lifted his legs in the air, sup
porting himself on his shoulders audelb >ws.
Then, with a sudden hunch he propelled
himself toward his opponent. The wooden
leg circled about and whizzed through the
air. Biff! It landed on the side of Suaker’s
head before he hod time to understand
wbat was going on. Shaker turned a
double somersault over three chairs, landed
on tho b ick of his neck and rolled under
the table, and the fight was ended. When
he came to half an hour later he begged to
be told tbe name of the man who had sand
bagged him from behind before he died.
But he didn’t die. Instead, he went out
two days afterward aud reaped a $5 harvest
of nickels and dimes by siiowiug his bat
tered face as evidence of the cruelty of the
police to friendless and doserving w anderers.
Ou tho occasion of the reporter's visit,
being unsuccessful iu his efforts to get a
jumping contest on, leg observed that it
was growing late, and, ourliug up in a cor
ner, went to sleep, leaving his comrades to
gossip and talk over old times and tbe ex
ploits of dead and departed panhandlers.
One told of how Dutch Jake astonished
“The Rest" one night by oomiug in with a
diamond ring and going out with two po
licemen fifteen minutes later. Another re
oited the stirring memories of the fight
between King Tipper and the bridge police
man, in the course of which King got the
policeman’s club and rammed it down the
ow ner's throat so that ho couldn’t yell for
help. Then be tore off the officer’s badge,
pinned it on his own coat, and walked home
in great state. It took King ’Tipper six
months on the island to settle for that per
formance. Other stories were told, and
then Tom Collins, better known as “History
Tom,” got on his feet. History Tom is, as
his name would indicate, the historian of
"The Rest.” Being unable to write ho is
obliged to keep the events uf the past in
his memorj . aud he is a perfect encyclo
paedia of paudhandler lore.
"There’s few of yez lift,"said Tom, "that
kin ricolliot Droop-eye Thomson, an’ there’s
uot one of yez that could travel lu th’ same
class along of him. Droopy Is dead an’ gone
this many a year. Ho wint off In a chariot
of sulphur fire along wid slviu blue divils
an’ cartloads of snakes an’t ads an’ things,
by what he said an hour before ho passed in
his checks. He was a divh on th’ drink,
Droopy was, but it got ’im in the finish.
Well, what I began tellin’ was how Droopy
played th’ queer on a soft mug upia Maddy

“It was a oreepin’ gloomiou* night, one
o’ these nights w’en th’ wind says queer
things arouu’ th’ corner of th’ streets. Th’

Droopy seeu ’im, and says he to ids shirt

So up he walks to th’ old feller an’ looked
'im in th’ face. Them of yez as knowed
Droopy will remember th’ queer eye of ’im.
He looked at the soft mug wid bi3 queer eye

shouted in a blood-freezln’ manner. The
feller wid th’ satebii oomrnmeed to git

past Droopy, but he wouln’t have it.
“ ‘B-r-r-r-r-r,’ says Droopy, ’I smell rich,

“ ‘Wh-wh-wh-wbat’s that?’ says the old
feller chatterin' his teeth together that hard
that y’ could hear th’ chips off ’em droppin’
on the sidewalk.
" ‘Blood,’ says Droopy, raisin’ of his v’ice,
‘runnin’ fast and varm, oays he.
“Ah-h-h-b. Uh-h-h-h-b. G-g-g-g-zo
way,’ says th’ soft mug, ’is hair a-blistlin’
up till ’ts bloomin’ stoveplve bat feel off.
“‘I ain’t had none senca I shipped from
th’ ’sylum,’ Droopy says. ‘They useter give
it to me every day causa they said 1 was
crazy. Ho, ha, ha,’ says Droopy. ‘Me
crazy. I ain’t crazy, but I want some nice,
new blood.’
“All this time he was gettin’ up closer an’
closer to th’ mug an’ he whispered at ’im iu
a mos’ curdlin’ tone about wantin’ th’ blood.
The old feller’s legs beglnned to sink down.
‘Po-loece,’ he yelled, 'po-leece,’ an’ wid that
Droopy got in his fine work.
“ ‘Whoosh!’howls Droopy, leapiu’up an’
down, an’ wavin' his arms in th’ air. ‘G-r

“Th’ poor old soft mug give one terrific
yell, an’ he cut ’is sticks fer th’ Battery,
leavin’ the sntebil as a legacy to Droopy.
Droopy swiped th' le itber au’ hocked what
wa inside fer twenty-five dollar plunks.
That was th’ last big act Droopy done be
fore he kicked loose.”
By the time the recital was finished tbe
panhandlers bad begun to get sleepy. Curl
ing up m corners or stretching out on the
hard benches, they went peacefully to
sleep iu an atmosphere that would lie poison
for an ordinary man to sleep in. But the
panhandlers seem to enjoy it, and while
many of them could well afford better
lodgings, it is seldom that one deserts “The
Rest.”
They aro a little colony by themselves, as
truly an alien folk as the gypsies whom, m
some respects, they resemble. In their talk
peculiar words appoar, not to be identified
with the street slang of tho oast side. Tnere
is a tradition lu “The Rost” of a true
Romany, who made himself king of the
beggars a generation ago, and organized a
beggars’ association, one result of Inch
tho panhandlers of to-ilay inherit in their
schedule of beats. Nome of the panliaud
lers have bauk accounts, aud nearly all
have somewhere, either biddeu iu n sufn
place or concealed about their persons, a
small surplus to full back on. On one of
these panhandlers, who was sent to the
island last summer, S3OO in quarter-; ood
dunes was found. The coins were in little
sacks, pendent from an ingenious belt which
the panhandler win w about his waist, and
he himself had made.

A New Election EIII.
Topeka, Kan., March 11.—Representa
tive Greenlee, rep., yesterday introduced in
the House an amendment to the Australian
ballot bill, whioh prohibits the appointment
as election judges of members of a party
which has “fused” with another party at
previous elections. The proposition was
carried by a vote of 88 to 6 and the Senate
concurred. The populists supported the
measure. The object of the amendment is
aimed at the democracy.
The first sailing vessel on Lake Superior, the
Oriftin, was launched In 1679 by Father Henne

launched was built at Erie, lu 1797, England aud
Frai o: having monopolized (he lake shipping
to that time. The first steam vessel launched
on the upper lakes was Walk-in-the Water,
built at i.lack Hook in 1818. Her advent in
Cleveland is remembered by some aged citizens
lu 1819 the total tonnage was 161934 tons, valued

\ REPLY lO REV, l,o\K AND PRIRNM
Savannah, Ga., March 8, 1803.
To the Public:
In our card to the public, which appeared in
the Morning News of Feb. 28, our object was
simply to s t forth the truth touching the un
just uu l unChrialian-lilce action taken against
us by Rev. Love and bis followers (not the
church, for there was but a small spriokling of
the real church, the * Five Thousand,** there);
simply because wo desired an honest and im
partial invoatigatiou of charges of which, if ..t\
is guilty, he ought not only bo driven from tlio
pulpit but sent to tho coal mines. In that card
wo made no other charges, but end<*ivored to
stick close to the matter we had taken in hand.
Rev. Love and his crowd, in their feeble at
tempt to answer us, lost sight of things which
the public would like to see answeroJ,
such as the cnarges of breaking up
Rev. Lyons'(his owu cousin) family, smoking
in the church and trampling upon tho rights of
its members, but lie and they evade all those,
as ha dee* a 1 matters which he cannot face,
and proceeds 1 o tell the public abut tho size of
the membership of the church, and of how
vurr. honest and good their bolove 1 pastor is,
who has not been free from the touch of soan
dle since IsBB.
We will take up the reply of I'ev. Love's folks
and air thorn some. First, be speak aof the
membership. Well, we know about that an 1 a
great deal more than those who are trying to
Inform the public on that subject. We are
m m >"rs of that church and were before many
of lev Love’s followers know whore
Savannah was We know that the
church is “large" enough, and “old**
enough, and has ' piety" enough to discipline
its members, and has always under other pas
tors done bo according to tho examples laid
down by our blessed Lord. Under till* pastor,
however, "piety" is not a necessary qualifica
tion todi&ctf lining of members. Tiiestaudar l of
qualification >s wh .-(her you want un iuteniga
lion or not If you are for an investigation you
go out, if you have boon in tho church fifty
years. No, tho church ii not a “lawless mob.
and it is to avoid this "lawless mob" that so
many of tho real church ur driven away from
the building they helped to erect tor mouths in
succession Wo assort aid will prove iuier
that so far from being satisfied are the I* tv3
Thousand that there arc hundreds who
have not entered tho church door for
months, some more than a year, and who
will not hear Rev. Lo\© preaon or take the com
munion from him. Woaie law-aiuding citizens,
and It banding together to demand an invt|li
gation into charges of a fearful and revolliug
crime agulnet our spiritual loader iu “con
spiracy,'’ then wo are vuilty.
We did not expect Rev. Love and his friends
to enter Into details, for It would be too much
like a murderer exhuming tho buried remains
of his own victim. Wh excuse them from this,
but while they were saying they might have
saul the truth. In the car l which in c aimed to
be un answer to ours the public ih an od to take
it for gianted that wo old not toll the
truth about the manner in which we
wero dealt with. But we don’t a*k tho
public to true anything for granted; we
state facts as we go along un 1 leave toe public
to judge, aud not take anything for granted.
We assort now. as before, tint the serious
charges against ltev Love, made ty Rev. C. 11.
Lyons of Athens and corroborated by sworn
afildav t, lias never been investigated by any
coin) etent body, and the church which, above
all should have done so never once attempted
to look in o it; and because we demanded that
it bo looked into we were branded us conspir
ators. How, In the fac •of these facts and tho
clamor of out denominational and race papers
throughout tne state lor an investigation, can
men publish to the world over the.r signatures
that thi* matter has Deen investigated we can
not understand.
The following, from an editor-al in the
Oeotgia Hautlm of March 2, of which Rev. W.
J. White; is editor, is to the point:
"The Georgia Haptiut man regrets that ho
cannot announce that a plan for tho fair end
impartial investigation of the Love-Lyons mat
ter has lieen agreed upon. Ihr •> whhkh ago lie
felt quite sanguine of havin 1 rea :bed this point.
We are not without hope that things will take a
favorable turn yet, though tho way looks dark.
Tnisexplauatio 1 is made f r the benefit of those
who are anxious to know what is being done.
For a few weeks we withheld communication-!
from brethren that undert< ok to discus* the ohmo
upon its merits, because we feared
they would more likely do harm
than good. We have decided now
to vive the brethren a hearing. For two weeks
past we have published several articles from
leading brethren and shall publish others.
Caudidly our oplmou is that any newspaper
discussion of the merits or demerits of this case
can do no good. They may do injury to those
who write the articles by lowering tho writer
in public estimation. lor instance, the man
who advises a compromise in a case Use tins
lowers himself by so doing. The crime charged
is too heinous to bo c mpromise l or condoned.
It must be either proved or disproved, and if
not proved by tho one making me charges nor
disproved by the one upon whom tho charge is
mode then both forfeit tho respect
and confidence of the pubic. True, each side
may uphold and defend their favorite, hut the
public at large will spew l oth out of their
mouth. Th • churches to which these brethren
belong may each stick to their msn like a leech
until they get their fill, but this will not change
public estimation. A church may hold onto
whom she pleases and the outside world hai
nothing to 00 with it un.es* these part es bold
some relation to the public otbtr than incro
church relations. When this lathe case as in
the matter uow before up the public judgment,
as well as the church judgment, must be satis
fied The efforts made by us has ben to ;et
such an Investigation and decision of the matter
betweeu Drs. Love and Lyons as would b* ac
cepted by the public, ant w jen we us-* I e w.,rd
public here, we mean, first, t e Baptist denomi
nation 01 Georgia; second,' a Risov. r. novo,
and third, the balance of mankind. This is our
position, and to this end we have been laboring, I
and to this end we shall continue to labor. If
w succeed we Khali feel happy, and if we fail
v) shall still rejoice in the fac; that our efforts
were conscientiously and sincerely made. Our
earnest prayer is that God may lea l the way
and that both of tleso young mwn may Do
saved to further usefulness. But If it be not so,
then let the Lord’s will be doue."
An 1 yet they my that it 1 as been investigated
and he found not guilty. Heaveos!
Those who signed their name.', in defense of
tbeir pastor first say tnat it wa* investigated
and that he wav found innocent and iu the next
sentence they virtually admit that it iu so, but
they ray It is far back, many years ago. and,
true or fais *, they are aatisflsd. Weil, we are

Smc the question of h >w much money Rev,
Love has raised und how houest>y he has ac
counted for it ho* been brought up by his
friends, maybe .t will bo we’d to give tho publ o
a little additional inf ormation on that point.
Well, yes, he has raised lots of money. We
know that, for we helped to rai*e it; but about
his accounting for ll—weU, the truth about it
would shock the community. Forty odd
doli irs vanished from the safe In wnic the
cnurch money was ke| t some ni nth* back.
Two persons were each known to : au; a key,
but the two persons were in the r>ast< r’s
"ring,’’ and the pastor thou lit it \\< u!d not do
to probe the thing for fear it would muke a s lr
in the camp, and to avoid this he did like the
fellow who cut off one end and joined it on the
other. He compromised it by taking lit* a col
lection to put it back, but it did not
stay even then, for more money went
the sime wav the following month.

public will doubtless notice that the old deacons
and trustee* of the church, such as Patrick A.

J. (' Habersham did not sign the pastor's card.
There an* persons, though, that signed for the
pastor who art; known for their unsavory char
acter by white and black; they have done worse,
and will Hign anything for a consideration. We
give them a gentle hint now, but if we are called
upon again soon we will picture thorn right.
We would say further that we have not fought
or written against the church, unless it bo
granted that Rev. K. K. Love is the church..
We are constituent parts of our church; it is
our right, to inquire into the character of the
man whoc ii'iiu to lu; our moral and spiritual
leader, especially when ids good name iscadrd

we are, we shall make some tilings heretofore
hinted at bo plain that they will not admit of a
