Sound doctrine from the Sparta

Rev. S. C. McGahee, formerly a
Baptist minister in the bounds of the
Hephzibah Association, has Seen ex
,|>ellod from the Bnpti*t deiioinination
for espousing the doctrine of the
.Second Advent*.
The storm king ha* been scattering
•destruction in its pathway in many
place* in tin* and foreign countrie*
.luring the pre*unt month, which
in the pant ha* been noted a* one ot
the mildest month* of the year.
The weather bureau will immortal
ize itself, so to speak, if for the next
few months it will arrange it so a* to
give us plenty of rum. With this wo
s-un very well put up with any good
Jtomocrat for Governor.
A requi*ite number of mime* have
I been obtained petitioning the Ordi
nary of tin* county to order an elec
tion ujHin the prohibition question
In advance it may be, but the Si.sti
>*l. desire* to record its vote upon the
‘‘dry side" of the subject.
A visit to McDuffie county, last
Saturday, convinced us, a* we looked
upon the growing crop of Mr. Wm.
Radioed and the corn in hi* crib, to
gether with the numerous stack* of
fodder in his field*, that “there is
more in the man than there is in the
land.”
Politics keep up a steady heat in
the Republic of Columbia One can
didate goes out in a certain direction
for a few day* and very soon his op
ponent follows, after which he returns
declaring that he hits put out all the
tracks of Ins comjwtitor. One good
thing about it, it is all in the liest of
spirit.
With no many candidates in the
field seeking Gubernatorial honors,
.surely we ought to be able to get an
other good man to succeed Gov. Mc-
Daniel, who will leave the office with
A sjxitleiw record. A* such he will
need no vindication; Ins record speaks
for itselt and it is one that lie will l>e
able to point to with becoming pride.
Just as we expected, one of our
esteemed dailies has meddled with
the decree against Dr. Armstrong
until it has raised the ire of Bishop
Beckwith, and if correctly reported
be has made it his business to deal
out some very plain language in the
vase. It is right for new*pa}>ers to
give the news, but when it comes to
criticising the action of an ecclesiasti
cal body for administering its discip
line according to established laws,
sooner <>r later a noise will be beard
in the wilderness.
