FlilbAY MOBNING, MAR. 16,1888.
We have a communication upon
the subject of a public library which
will appear next week. Several
other articles are crowded out.
We have a copy of the “Tele
phone,” published at Tahlequah,
Indian Territory, and any one hav
ing Cherokee blood in them can
have it by calling at this office. I)
is a very readable paper.
Deputy Sheriff Knox was sent to
Alabama by the state’s attorneys to
get new evidence for the state in
the Pope case and not for the de
sense as might be inferred from
reading last week’s paper.
Bill Nye says: “Well, farmin’ is
like runnin’ a paper in regards t<
some things. Every feller in tin
world will take and turn in and tel
you how to do it, even if he don’t
know a blame thing about it.
Last week a negro named Wil]
Williams outraged a lady at Tun
nel Hill named Anderson. Friday
he was arrested, and being taken
before her, was fully identified.
That night he was hung to a limb
near the railroad track.
.Zita Ruffin, a negro, was hanged
by regulators at Trenton, in Dade
county, last Friday night. He com
mitted an outrage upon Mrs. Mor
rison at Diamond Hill Tuesday pre
vious and was captured in Chattan
ooga a day or two afterwards. Hi
made a full confession.
What’s the matter with the can
didates in this county? Surely you
are not going to let the offices go
begging. Come to the front; put
up your heads, and just find out
how mean you are. If you don’t
start pretty soon you won’t give the
voters a chance to find out all the
mean tricks you have been guilty of.
Chattooga has passed through an
ordeal unparalled in the history of
Georgia, and today she stands out
in bold relief as the champion for
law 7 and order. A negro man ac
cused of the blackest crime known
has had two fair and impartial tri
als, and is now' waiting the execu
of the law. Our citizens, one and
all, are to be congratulated upon
their cool, calm behavior.
We heard a lawyer of mature
years, and one whose opinion is
worth a great deal, say that he nev
er knew a ease better conducted in
every detail than was the defence in
the Pope case. Messrs. Copeland
and Shropshire were both compli
mented for the able manner in
■Which they defended Pope, and it
goes without saying he was well
represented.
Mr. Clements has introduced the
following bills in Congress to pay
claims for supplies used by the
Federal army in the late war: For
the relief of Samuel P. Woods, of
Chattooga county, amount $503;
William White, Chattooga county,
$76.90; George R. Ward, Floyd
c0unty,510,706.20; Alex. Vaugher,

FOUND GUILTY
And Will Hang May Sth—Hen
ry Pope to Pay the Penalty
of His Crime with
His Life.
After a long and tedious trial '
Henry Pope has again b en found '
guilty of rape upon the person of'
Miss Minnie Kendrick, the crime
being committed on the 3rd day of
February, 1887.
The case was the first one called ;
in the Superior Court last week and
after examination of the witnesses,
which consumed two days, and the
argument by Messrs. Henry and,
Bellah who assisted Solictor-Gen
eral Clements in the prosecution, I
and Messrs. Shropshire and Cope- .
land for the defence, the jury, com
posed of twelve as good citizens as
we have in the county, was clearly !
and ably charged by Judge Mad
dox.
The jury was out about forty
eight hours and weighed every point
with care and due deliberation, for
the life of a man was in their hands, I
and Friday about 10 o’clock a. in.
they brought in a verdict of guilty, i
The prisoner was asked the for- ■
mal question if he had anything to <
say why sentence of death should |
not be passed upon him, and as on
the previous trial denied his guilt I
saying that several parties had .
sworn falsely against him and that
at tho judgment bar of heaven they ■
would have to answer for it.
Judge Maddox made a short but
very impressive talk, after which he [
sentenced Pope to be hanged on ’
Tuesday the Bth day of May, 1888. '
Chattooga county has not passed !
through such a trial before and it is |
our sincere wish that she never will ■
again. Crimes of this sort are re- I
volting, ard besides the suffering >
and heartbreaks left in the family!
of the victim, the general public is
more or less unsettled, a feverish
excitement naturally arises which ;
does not soon pass awav.
The doom of this man should be
a warning to all—especially to our
colored citizens. The crime for
which Pope is to die is the most
fiendish in the eyes of every good
citizen both white and black, and
again all should take warning.
FROM TEXAS.
Howe, Graysox Co., Texas.)
Mar. 3rd, 1888. i
Editor News: —As I have not
seen anything in your valuable pa
per lately from the Lone Star State
I thought I would write a few lines.
I think as many Georgians as there
are in Texas you ought to have a
letter from some of them every
week, don’t you?
We have had a great deal of rain
here this winter. It is very much i
like the old Arkansas woitsen sail]: !
She said that it never rained iff
Texas, but if it did it never quits. |
I think it has been that way this ■
winter. It is almost impossible to i
travel the roads. The farmers had i
to plow their oats in in the mud.
But after all the bad weather and I
roads I can’t go back on Texas.
She is the place for a poor man to
make a start if he has got t he nerve I
to work.
The old black waxy never goose
back on a fellow, for when it rains''
it sticks to him and when it’s dry 1
and he plants it sticks to him at
gathering time, for it always yields
abundantly. Texas is a great place
to use farm machinery. Here when
we get ready to plant corn we hitch
two horses to a machine, get up on
it, start across the field planting
two rows, checking it at the same
time. This machine costs $50.00.
When the small grain gets ready
for harvesting we have a machine
that will cut, bind and pile ready
for shocking. It will cut from 12
to 15 acres per day. This machine
costs $150.00. By the use of ma
chinery here one man can cultivate
100 acres in grain.
Hoping your paper will find its
way to all of the Georgians in Tex
as, I remain as ever, yours truely,
J. E. Smith.
March April May
Are months in which to purify the
blood, as the system is now most
susceptible to benefit from medi
cine. Hence now is the time to
■take Hood’s Sarsaparilla, a medi
cine peculiarly adapted for the pur-
I pose, possessing peculiar curative
powers. It expells every impurity
from the blood, and also gives it
vitality and richness. It creates
an appetite, tones the digestion, in
vigorates the liver, and gives new
life and energy to every function of
the body. The testimony of thous
ands, as to the great benefit derived
from Hood’s Sarsaparilla, should
convince everybody that it is pecu
liarly the best blood purifier and
spring medicine.

BAPTISTS. 7
1
After reading the article on “B ip
tists” written by a good Presbyte- t
riau brother, I must concede that in ,
criticism and poetry he is evidently
better posted than in knowledge of j
Christ’s laws as they relate to His
churches and kingdom, or to eccle- t
siastical history as it relates to j
Baptists. j
1. I meant to say, what has been (
admitted by some Pedobaptist chris- f
tians, that there have been in all
ages, since Christ built His chutch ,
and set up His kingdom on earth,
those who were organized, believed
and taught as Baptists now are <
organized, do, believe and teach.
Never was there a time, even in the
1
“dark ages” when Christ was left
without a witnessing church; He
has kept His promise; “The!
gates of hell shall not prevail
against it?” So in this sense, Bap
tists have lived and “flourished” if
you please in spite of Roman nnd
Protestant persecutions over 1800
years and they are today “that sect
everywhere spoken against” by
many, but sometimes kindly spoken
of by conscientious Christians who
are not Baptists. This kindness we
appreciate while we remember the
words, “Woe unto you when all men
shall speak well of you.”
2. Not Baptists alone but all who |
are posted in regard to the history!
of the founding of churches in New '
England, may object to Bancroft !
as a competent witness in this case I
not because he was a Presbyterian,!
and did not write ecclesiastical his
tory, but. unimpeachable proof lias I
been adduced that Roger Williams i
was never a minister or member of ■
a Baptist church in England or
America. Presbyterians will not
object to the testimony of Cotton
Mather, author of Eecl. Hist, of
New England, whosays, “The thing !
like a church which Williams gnth- j
ered came to nothing.”
Proof is on record that Roger!
Williams was immersed by one Hol
liman in March, 1639. Williams!
immersed Holliman and ten others, I
they constituted the “thing like a
church;” July, just four months
afterward he left them and “:he
thing came to nothing.” But a> ide
from this and sufficient in itself, Ij
add the inscription of Dr. John !
I Clark’s tombstone: “To the memo-!
! ry of Dr. John Clark one of the *
original purchasers and proprietors!
of this Island and one of the found
ers of the first Baptist church in
Newport, its first pastor and mu
nificent benefactor. He was a na
tive of Bedfordshire, England, and
! a practicioner of physic in London,
j He, with his associates came to 1 his
! Island from Mass, in March, 1638,!
|o. S. and on the 24th of the same
month, obtained a deed thereof from
I the Indians. He shortly after
j gathered the church aforesaid nnd
became its pastor. In 1651, he with
Roger Williams, was sent to Eng
j land by the people of Rhode Island
colony to nagotiate the busines- of!
the colony with the British mil is
trv; Mr. Clark was instrumental in
obtaining the charter of 1663 from
! Charles 11, which secured to the
■ people of the state full and freejen-
I joyment of judgment and consei
! ence in matters of religion. He re
| mained in England to watch over
the interests of the colony until
1664, when he returned to Newport
and resumed the pastoral care of
his church. Mr. Clark and Mr.
■ Williams fearlessly maintained t hat
! none but Jesur Christ had authori
ty over the affairs of conscience.
He died April 20, 1676, in the 66th
year of his age,and is here interred.”
I 3. “He who will not honor the
I memory and respect the influence of
i! Calvin knows but. little of the ori
i! gin of American liberty.” Quoted
I by the reverend gentleman.
■ i Baptists have ever cheerfully
! conceded to the leaders of the refor-
■ mation all tho honor that <js due
them in attempting to free thein-
’ | selves from the Catholic church.
,-The reformation brought many
. priceless blessings to the world ; but
■j Baptists have ever insisted that the
‘I reformation needs more reforming;
J that their work was incomplete.
' They brought with them from the
“mother church” a few of the fatal
errors which made the Catholic
church so obnoxious. That inf.int
i baptism is a “pillar of popacy;”
i that Baptism and the Lord’s supper
are not sacraments, i. e, channels of
grace, and that no man, or set of
men, have the right to enact laws
, to control or coerce the conscience
of a fellow man in religion. But to
whom is America indebted for the
’ civil and religious liberty she now
’enjoys? Not to “Luther who in
! flueneed the Princes of German}- to
,! drive Anabaptists from their do-
I minions.” See Mosheim, vol. 3, page
79. Not to Zevingle the Swiss
Presbyterian, who, Brunt says,
pronounced the death sentence on
the noble Hubmeyer.” Not to Cal
vin does the world owe the idea or (
practice of religious liberty, for ‘-he
instigated the persecuting laws of
Geneva, which, by fines, imprison
ments and tortures drove the
Baptists from Canton” and “he i
gave the weight of his great in
fluence to secure the judicial
sacrifice of Servetus who was roast
ed in a slow fire of green wood.”
Trelemma, page 110 and Centen
vol. page 60.
Not to the “fanatical Anabaptists
of Munster,” Dipentus from Rome 1
who practised infant baptism and
opposed every sort of liberty except |
natural liberty, not to them is the
world indebted for religous freedom
of thought and action.
Nor, for this princeless boon, do
we all owe homage to “that sect
everywhere spoken against,” which
under various names has been hunt
ed down, “scourged, imprisoned,
stoned, some torn asunder and
others slain with the sword,” that
sect which has been driven by Cath
olics and Reformers to assemble
for worship in caves and baptise
their believers under cover of dsrk
; ness in remote streams; that “igno-
I rant, bigoted, pernicious sect with-
I out church government” (?) which
has for over 1800 years, under all
circumstances, in the face of dan
ger and death, dared to advocate,
defend and practice the God-given
doctrine of soul liberty.
But to God, the giver of every
good and perfect gift, are we all in
debted, not only for civil and re
ligious liberty, but also, for “that
liberty wherewith Christ hath made
us free.”
4. Mr. Milner says: “Baptists
are not united, have no united
church, and are not likely to unite
with those who deny the faith.”
I Now if there is no power by which
such churches are, in one sense,
I united, what warrant has anyone
|to suppose that “they will never
■ unite with those who deny the faith.”
i Faith in the promises of Christ,
their King, is part of the power by
which they have been held together
for lo! these many years.
Again, “Baptists cling to the tin
i scriptural dogma that each church
I is an independent body;” Baptists
I claim to be open to conviction and
! will be girded by the teachings of
: the Bible. Prove to them that their
churches are not built according to
the laws of Christ, their Head and
only law giver; Show them the
I way back into the “Kingdom of
: Christ on earth,” and there will be
j such “withdrawals” from “unscript
jural churches,” by. these liberty
i loving strict Baptists of America
! as were never dreamed of by the
j “free communing,” liberal souled
| Baptists of England.
