[Published by request. Three Baptist preachers were ar rested and brought to trial for preaching. The indictment was for preaching the gospel of the Son of God, contrary to the statute in that case provided, and therefore disturbing the peace. The clerk was reading the indictment in a slow and formal manner, and he pronounced the crime with empha sis, “For preaching the gospel of the Sou of God,” when a plain dressed man dismounted his horse and entered the court house, took his seat within the bar. He was known to the lawyers iu court, but a stranger to the mass of specta tors who had gathered on the oc casion. This was our Patrick Hen ry,who, on hearing of this prosecu tion,had rode 60 miles from his res idence in Hanover, Va., to volun teer his services in the defense of the prisoners. He listened to the further reading of the iudictment with marked attention. The first sentence of which that had caught his ear was, “For preaching the gospel of the son of God.” When the indictment had been read, and the prosecuting attorney had sub mitted a few remarks,Patrick Hen ry arose, stretched out his hands and received the papers, and then addressed the court: “May it please your worship, I think I heard read by the prosecutor as I entered this house the paper I now hold in my hand. If I have right ly understood, the King’s attorney of this Colony has framed an in dictment for the purpose of ar raigning and punishment by im prisonment three inoffensive per sons before the bar of this court for a crime of great magnitude— as disturbers of the peace. May it please the Court, what did 1 Gear read ? Did I Lear it distinctly, or was it a mistake of my own ? Did I hear an expression, as if a crime, that these men, whom your wor ships are about to try for a misde meanor, are charged with—what ?” And continuing in a low, solemn, heavy tone: “For preaching the gospel of the Son of God!” Pausing amidst the most pro found silence and breathless as tonishment of his hearers, he slow ly waved the paper three times around his head, then lifting up his hands and eyes to Heaven,with extraordinary and impressive en ergy,he exclaimed: “Great God!” The exclamation, the action, the burst of feeling from the audience was all-overpowering. Mr. Henry resumed: “May it please your worship, in a day like this, when truth is about to burst her fetters; when mankind are about to be raised to claim their natural in alienable rights; when the yoke of oppression which has reached to America, and the unnatural alli ance of ecclesiastical and civil pow er is about to be dissevered, at such a period when liberty of conscience is about to awake from her slum bering and inquire into the reason ings of such charges as I find ex hibited here today in this indict ment 1” Another fearful pause, while the speaker alternately cast his sharp, piercing eyes on th 6 Court and the prisoners, and re sumed : “If lam not deceived, according to the contents of the paper I now hold in my hand, these men are accused of preach ing the gospel of the Son of God. Great God!” Another long pause, during which he again waived the bill of indictment around his head, while a deep impression was made on the auditory. Resuming his speech : “May it please your wor ship, there are periods iu the his tory of man when corruptions have so long debased the human char acter that man sinks under the weight, of the oppressor’s hand, and becomes his servile, his abject slave. He licks the hand that QUESTION ANSWERED. Yes, August Flower still has the largest sale of any medicine in the civilized world. Your mothers aud grandmothers never thought of using anything else for Indiges tion or Billiousneas. Doctors were scarce, and they seldsm heard of Appendecitis, Nervous Prostration or Heart Failure, etc. They used August Flower to clean out the system aud stop fermentation of undigested food, regulate the ac tion of the liver, stimulate the nervous and organic action of the system, and that is all they took when feeling dull and bad with headaches and other aches. You only need a few doses of Green’s August Flower, in liquid form, to make you satisfied there is uoth ing serious the matter with you. Sample bottles at Bagwell Drug Store. Lawreuceville, R 0. Med lock, Norcross, Smith & Harris, Suwauee. smites him. He bows iu passi obedience to the mandates of the despot, aud in this state of servil ity he receives his fetters of per petual bondage. But may it please your worship, such a day has passed away. From the period when our fathers left the land of their nativity for settlement in these Americr.n wilds—for liberty, for civil aud religious liberty, for liberty of conscience—to worship their Creator according to their conceptions of Heaven’s revealed will, from the moment they placed their feet on the American Conti nent, and in the deeply imbedded forests sought an asylum from per secution aud tyranny—from that moment despotism was crushed, her fetters of darkness were bro ken, and Heaven decreed that man should be free—free to worship God according to the Bible. Were it not for this, in vain have been the sacrifices of the colonists; in vain were all their sufferings aud bloodshed to subjugate this new world, if we, their offsprings, must still be oppressed and persecuted as these men. But may it please your worship, permit me to en quire once more: For what are these men about to be tried ? ‘For preaching the gospel of the Sou of God.’ For preaching the Savior to Adam’s fallen race.” After another pause, iu loud tones of thundei he inquired: “Whut law have they violated ?” Then, for the third time, in a low, dignified manner, he lifted his eyes to Heaven and waved the in dictment around his head. The court and audience were now wrought up to the most intense pitch of excitement. The face of the prosecuting attorney was death ly pale and ghastly, and appeared unconscious that his whole frame was agitated with awful alarm, and the Judge, in a tremulous voice, now becoming extremely painful by the authorative com mand: “Sheriff, discharge those men.” HOW’S THIS ?

Since the reorganization aud consolidation of the various rail ways of the South into oue great corporation—the Southern Rail way Company—under the admir ably conducted management of the banking house of J. P. Mor gan & Co., and the consequent presidency of Mr. Samuel Spencer, this trunk system has taken its place as one of the greatest of this country. The remarkable in dustrial and material develop ment of the south, together with the developed comforts of a win ter sojourn there, have given to it an enormous passenger traffic, which year by year increases. To meet the demands and to further the convenience of the public the company has recently established an up-town office at No. 1185 Broadway, where the General Eastern Passenger Agent, Mr. A. S. Thweatt, is located. The office has been handsomely and luxu riously fitted up with every ac commodatiou for the patrons of the road iu the transaction of business, purchase of tickets, se curing of berths, etc. These tick ets may be procured to Cuba, Mex ico, California, or any other point in the great South and West.

The time is upon the people to select public servants for the be ginning of the new century. These servants range in rank from presi dent to constable. Who are these servants aud what their names, is not revealed and will not be until chosen by ballot and sworn into office. The day to set the ma chinery in motion, to formulate plans and systems by which every servant in the nation Bhall be chosen from among the people to serve all the people, not a part. The lowest officer in rank is an important trust, the oath as biud ing as the highest, both are equal ly bound to support the law of the government, for all the people, without favor or affection, reward or the hope thereof. The officer of public trust should know uo partyism, personalism, nor the influence of moneyism, aud no other isms that could be stated, but should look at things straight in the administration of the law The people give the law to the people aud put it into the hauds of the servants chosen. The con stable aud the chief executive of the United States have the execu tion of the law put in their bauds by the people, who at the ballot box say, “Execute our laws; we will pay you for your service: take only the pay we agree to give.” The above rule, poorly stated, ap plies to every subordinate officer from president down to the least in rank. The time is near at band and some already casting around to find good, honest men that cannot be bought or bribed, qualified to fill the many places of public trust. The last year of a dying century, and the resur rection of a new century, au epoch I which but few living have expe rienced. In the last breath of the old we are to nominate and elect officers from the highest to the lowest, and may it prove a resurrection of the true democrat ic doctrine of Jefferson and our forefathers, aud while we are mak ing the selection let all the people resort to no unlawful or unfair means, but select men that will maintain “free and equal privi leges tc all the people, and special privileges to none.” I have not written this to pro scribe any man for his political opinions; I believe in every man having the utmost liberty in vot ing for men or measures that he considers best, after mature con sideration ; I would not even per suade him otherwise. Every man should seek to know what is best for all the people, and the most needful in the matter of earthly government, and seek honestly to obtain that. And hero before I close, I desire to say a word or two, though I may be criticised: Any man that can be hired to vote for money, or anything of value, or who would sell his vote, or be bribed to vote for what he does not believe to be for the gen eral good of all, is not worthy of the privilege of voting; any man voting not caring what he is voting for is unqualified to vote. And any man who would bribe another to vote against his convictions, the briber is not worthy of a vote. Now, if a law was enacted forever debarring both the man who sells his vote and the man who buys it, two corrupt classes of voters would be eliminated from the field, and much would be done to purify the ballot box.

Tribute of Reipect- We meet gorrowfully to give this our last feebla expression of sym pathy and respect for our beloved sister, Mrs. J. H. Mahaffey. Death is always momentous, but one who has filled her mission so well, loved by so many, and re spected by all who knew her is more so. Day by day mauy pass to the great beyond, leaving behind them tears, sorrows, many tender words and reverent thoughts Yet all that have passed through on their way to their long home, uo one, I think, has gone leaving be hind them so many sympathies, so much kindness, so many teuder recollections, and so much that should bo instructive as the life and character of our Sister. Her life was blameless, her character spotless and her energy seldom equaled. She was born Oct. 17, 1848, united with the church at Mt. Zicn in August, 1876. She was married to our highly esteem ed Bro. J. H. Mahaffey August 2, 1874. To this uniou was born nine children. She was a patient sufferer tor eight months, died November 18, 1800, was buried at Alcovia church. The funeral was conducted by her pastor, Rev H. N. Rainey, and was assisted by Bro. A. J. Webb, who spoke feel ing aud teuder words of her. We, the Baptist church at Hebron, take delight iu publishing to the world the merits and real worth of our Sister; but when we have done this, it is insignificant compared to her fair name, and the blessing she has given to the world by her genial nature, by her true relation ship as wife, by her nobility as mother, by her kindness as neigh bor, aud last, and best of all, her fidelity and faithfulness to her Christian profession. Oh, how sweet the way that leads to the grave when that grave is God’s golden gate to immortality. “How blessed are the dnad which die in the Lord,” God grant in. the so lomuity of these thoughts to which we have gathered today. May it be that we may live so that when we die the Lord will open the gate into the joy of His own pleasure. Resolved, That these proceed ings be spread upon the pages of our minute book, aud that a copy be given to the family of the de ceased, aud that the News-Herald and Christian Index be requested to publish this. Done in conference February 3rd, 1900. B. T. Harbin, J. H. Barber, A. L. Sammons, Committee. DOFS IT PAY TO BUY CHEAP?

It is very hard to stand idly by and see our dear ones suffer while awaiting the arrival of the doctor. An Albany, N. Y., dairyman called at a drug store there for a doctor to come and see his child, then very sick with croup. Not finding the dector iu, he left word for him to come at once on his return. He also bought a bottle of Chamber lain’s Cough Remedy, which he hoped would give some relief until the doctor should arrive. In a few hours he returned, saying the doctor need not come, as the child was much better. The druggist, Mr. Otto Scholz, says the famiiy has since rocommended Chamber lain’s Cough Remedy to their neighbors and friends until he has a constant demand for it from that part of the country.
