We come now to pay our respects to “A Citizen” who gave the public some of his views in the last issue of the Jacksonian as to the payment of the indebted ess of the County. ‘‘A Citizen” says there are two sides to this question. Yes, there are two sides. One is to pay it, and the other is not to pay if you can get out doing s'). We presume that It comes perfectly natural to ‘‘A Citi zen to take the side of not paying it if you can get out of it. That is the side of the question that ,- A Citizen” generally takes with those who do not know him and ignorantly fall into extending him credit. We will not. disclose the name of “A Citizen,” but when we tell the readers of The Jacksonian that he is an individual who pays only those debts he is compelled to pay, then his ‘‘hot air”letteron the ‘‘Count!©’* Debt” will have but little effect. Now Mr. “A Citizen” no one wishes to cast any reflection on the “highmindness” of these men who are now filling the office of County Commissioners, nor do we mean to say they are dishon est. W just mean to say that the HON EST citizens of "Butts Cos. do not ap prove of the position taken by Mr. Gaston and Mr. Asbury, towit: refus ing to, as County Commissioners, to acknowledge this debt as valid and good against tho County, and take steps to pay it when the money can be raised by taxation. The Citizens of Butts approve of the position taken by Mr. J. M Maddox, who stands for the payment of the debt when it can be paid. Mr. “A Citizen” says no amount of abuse, or law suits can force them (meaning the County Commissioners) to violate their oaths or bow the knee to the money power. If paying an honest debt, one for money borrowed, is bowing the knee to the money power, then bow and keep bowing. This would not be bowing the knee to the money power. It would be only paying an honest debt for bor rowed money. What differ nee does it make, whether you borrow from a Lazzuars or a Dives, HONESTY de mands we repav it and DISHONEST Y says not repay it. Now Mr. “A Cit izen no one has intimated that we want the Commissioners to pay this debt out of their/‘life timework.” We said and we again repeat it: EV ERY HONEST citizen of Butts Cos. wants the County Commissions.s co acknowledge this claim as just and due and owing by the County, and to pay it when the money can he raised by taxation. Now Mr. ‘A Citizen” whether this is a ooliticul matter or not, tho peo ple are going to make so, and if tuese commissionere don't make an effort to pay tins debt out of Butts County’s funds when the ballotß are counted next election, those who have stood against oayment will i started to say thirty cents but will say they will look like men who once were in office. MAN SHOT TO DEATH IN FIGHT AT UNIONVILLE. Saturday night at Unionv 11 • in Monroe County, Mr. Wirt English shot and instantly killed Mr. Rufus Thornton. A dispute arose and in a few min utes. They were fighting, Thornton being shot twice from which he died in fifteen minutes. Both are young men who stand high and have large family concection throughout the community. THE OUTLOOK iN CHINA BY REV. S. P. WIGGINS. (Continued from last week ) Ab che very first General Confer* ence of the M. E. Church South, held in Petersburg, Vu., in May 1846, missionery work was enterprlsed, and Rev. Chas. Taylor, of the South Car olina Conference was accepted as * missionary for China. He sailed with Benjamin Jenkins as a colleague, in 1358, and opened work in Shanghai* They began talking to the peopl# on the streets, iu front of temples, etc., and finally opened up a chapel* The first convert proved to be a man of splendid ability and marked piety. He became an eloquent and useful native preacher, and his name should be held in precious memory by all Southern Methodists —itisLiew Siett Sang. Other missionaries were sent out ia the 50’s, among them Rev’s. Young J. Allen and J. W. Lambuth, with their wives. But the work was slow and difficult; and the climate very severe on the missionaries, some died and others were compelled to return home. The Civil vVar in the U. f* cut off the supplies and the mission aries were left to support themselve# or starve. What courage, and whato a love for the benighted heathen ib must have required for Allen, and Lambuth and Wood, with their wives and children dependent on them. tt> have remained at their posts of duty* with not a dollar, (por even a letter) from the home land for years. They supported their families by teaching and translating for the gov ernment officials. However, in th#< end this proved a providential open ing, for it brought these men into ths confidence of the influential and of ficial Chinese. And today Dr. Young; J. Allen is regarded with the esteem by the ruler in China, who have con ferred upon him the highest ranks of honor. Surely every Georgian ought to feel proud and honoied over this son of our state who stands today one of the most distinguished states men of the whole Eastern continent, and among the toreraost missionaries of the world. Spaae forbids any account of ths other Georgians, among wuoni ars Anderson, Burke, Loeh, Park, anA th sainted Laura Haygood. At the end of the first 21 years there were left on the field only two missionories and their wives, two na tive preachers, three stations and 6(F members. But re-inforcementscame> and tho work began to grow. By 1902 there were (counting the wives) 52 missionaries, &1 native helpers, 52 organized Churches, with 1.944 mem bers, and nearly 2 000 Sunday School pupil?; besides day school*, two col leges, and a hospital, with over S2BO, 000.* worth of property. And last years reports are even more encour aging. All missionaries are hopeful for China. She will be won to Christ, if the Church arises to her great oppor tunity. “In the last 85 years tho converts have increased 2,000-fold J at thesamc rate in another 85 yeara there will be in China26,ooo,ooo com municants, and 100,000,000 adnerentai —more than are now in the U. S.” BUTTS COUNTY HAS AN UP-TO-DATE CORONER. The same C. G Britt was called to west Butts last week to sit in judge ment in case of the mysterious death of Bill Shockley.
