Phillips. Golconda. Sir I have just read your article in the Metropolis Gazette, and the Baptist Truth. I must confess that your uhfair untruthful misrepresentations have caused me to lose all respect for you as a so called gospel Minister "Ahem" and lo these are only parts of his sayings. Dr. Olive's letter does not reflect very much credit on him, and we have too much respect for the profession to give it to the public. We also have another letter in our possession of the same type, but before making any remarks on the subject, we will give the closing of his letter which reads thus:—I demand an immediate correction and apology or you shall answer for it at once. This means you I have treated you fair and with respect and I must have the same Yours for business, J. J. Olive. The reader can imagine just how the letter reads. First of all we stand ready and willing to humbly beg his pardon for any injustice we have done him, and we will do it through the public press too, not in a corner. In secret we have written nothing, but Dr. Olive must point out the misrepresentation. In our article we ask the editor Prof. C. C. Wilson to reproduce the Dr's article, so that the reader could see just what he had written, the Dr. must tell what he meant when he said the Free Will's believed, repented and were baptized, and any one that would fight against them coming to the Baptists were insane, or a down right hypocrite. He means to tell the public, that these Free Will's were baptized by regular Missionary Baptist preachers, and if not did they not come without a change of faith? If they were baptized by a regular Missionary Baptist preacher, then, we owe the Dr an apology, and we will make it too. And if they were not it is up to him to tell what he meant when he said they had been baptized etc. And why did he say that any person fighting against them coiling, were either insane or a down right hypocrite? The Dr. has yet to learn that things that equal the same things are on another. We feel that the Dr. has been caught in his own trap and is trying to make Mr. C. C. Phillips atone for it. His language speaks for itself. Once more they say the Dr. have repented and have been baptized, and anyone that would fight against them coming to the Baptist are either insane or a down right hypocrite? Dr. it is up to you to tell the Baptist thruout the country just what you mean when you say that have they been baptized Tell whether or not that when they referred the matter back to the individual churches respecting their coming over to the Baptists; Did these churches demand baptism at the hands, of regular Baptist Ministers, or did they come on their alien immersion, if we will give e part of an extract of his letter, so that the reader can see who it is that has misrepresented the fact. We will give out some of his lovable language. Hear ye him. "You said, I said, they were taken over without a change of faith, which is an untruth as black as the et raal regions below and you knew it when you wrote it. You say I said, alien in mission, church federation, Free Will ordination was alright etc. Alright let us see whether he did or not. He says the matter was referred to each individual church. Mark well his words and the church acted separately on the matter in a local way. Now listen, these people had already repented, believed and was baptized. What does already mean in conrection? It means that the work of believing, and being baptized etc. was done before these meetings that the Dr refers to, and when this was all done by Free Will authority, and when they all came over to the Baptist, they came with the crèes and doct in o'ter own Church, and that too without a change of faith. This is where the Dr. says in so many words that Free Will ordination, alien immersion etc. is good enough. This is what he calls conforming to the Baptist faith. He may deny it all he wants to, and talk about fighting and going to law, but none of these transactions will change the affair. Nor will we swerve from what we regard as being our plain path of duty. Silent Eight Months Talks Atter tlight. Washington, Mar. 30—An aeroplane flight at an altitude of 14,000 feet today restored the power of speech to H A Rense, Jr., 22 years old, and a former soldier, who for eight months had been unable to speak above a whisper. His voice, which left him one night while asleep, was returned to normal within an hour and when he stepped from the army airplane at Bollingfield, he was surprised a his own voice saying: "I don't whether I can talk or not." Falls 700 Feet; Walks 0 Miles For Medical Aid. La Junta, Col., March 30 -Jack Bowman, "cattle king" of Red Rock Canyon district, south of here, is in a hospital today after a miraculous escape from death in a 700 foot drop into a rocky canyon While driving a team of broncos Bowman lost control of the animals and was catapulted over the edge of a cliff. One of Bowman's legs was fractured. After extricating himself from the wreckage Bowman crawled to the top of the canyon Improvising a pair of crutches, he walked six miles to a telephone and summoned medical aid. Traction Will Carry U.

Mail from Decatur, Clinton. To The Voters Of The City. I wish to state again that I am a real candidate for Mayor. I shall not attempt to see personally all the voters, as I consider the voter tully as intelligent as any of the candidates and able to make a choice for Mayor without a lot of "hot air" from any candidate. The big reason why I am a candidate is because Dr. Neville came to me the day I returned from the South and ask me to make the race and let him draw off and support me. He insisted on me for eight days before I agreed to enter the race, then I agreed and he announce his withdrawal and I was on and am still on. Two or three days later the Dr. Neville had some sort of a vision and re-entered the race. He promised to support me with his vote and influence when he withdrew. He told me that he was entirely too old to make the race or to be bothered with the office, and I belive surely he was right on that point. We all honor old age and admire the pluck of Dr. Neville, but to think of burdening him with the duties of the Mayor's office is next to a sin. Referring to some remarks made about me by the present mayor in some of his speeches I beg to say that his "opposition" is certainly more 'Serious' than he would have you believe and he talks latin to himself and don't even understand it Yes I am a candidate and I want your votes, all of them. Make it unanimous and lets have a Mayor that you can visit have a good talk with and go away feeling good. I thank you. Dr. W. S. Dixon. Date Of Death Doesn't Worry Condemned Man. Chicago, March 30.—Harry H. Ward, 23, who last summer shot and killed two men, wounded a third and hit a policeman with a hammer, after an attempt to hold up a hat store today was sentenced to be hanged April 22. Ward was asked whether he would prefer to be hanged April 15 or April 22, both dates having been set aside for executions at the jail. "It makes no difference to me," said Ward. Ward was under sentence of life imprisonment for the murder of Thomas Graney, a street sweeper who got in his way as he was escaping after the hold up. He was then tried for killing William Schwartz and it was on conviction of this crime that he was sentenced to death. Centralia to Have Rubber Firm Branch. Centralia March 29.

We invite him to call and see us at any time he is in the city, as we will be more than glad to have him. THINGS TO CONSIDER. I never in all my life knew the President of a School Board to build a school house, nor pay for one. I never knew of the Mayor of any city paying off the debts of any city.

The churches to carry out their mission, as divinely instituted organizations must not forget the poor and needy. If a church or an individual shuts up the bowels of compassion against the widow, orphan and the poor, How dwelleth the love of God in them? is a question to be answered. Every church small or large should collect money every Sunday for which to assist the worthy poor both of its flock and the community. Most churches feels they are exempt from this responsible duty if they only pay their pastor and pay off the debts of their church, but it is a very sad mistake as Jesus has said "The poor you have always as much as to say. You have them as your charge and you are responsible to see that they do not suffer. That church which fails to perform its duty in making the needy feel that they can find a friend when in a penniless condition has fallen short of its missions. The chief duty of a church is to save souls and next in importance is to feed the hungry and clothe the naked, Rev. T. M. Moses, spent a few days in Cairo, this week. Mrs. Mamie Wheeler, is on the sick list. Prof. McClellan Smith, closed a very successful term of school at Belgrade on last Friday, having taught at said place 12 successive years. Several people from here were in attendance. We have some Ministers in the Mt. Olive Baptist Association, who want every one to focus their vision through their narrow lens and if they fail to see things as they do, then they are ready to criticise and denounce them. Such individuals are candidates for some insane asylum. They may never get ejected but they are candidates just the same. We view them as dangerous to society and the organization. We know of some Ministers who are not satisfied with their high and exalted positions to which they have been placed but seek to either dictate or run every other person's official duty and even dictate to the churches what they should do. We pity such an individual, as he usus ally is short lived. Common Sense a Bad Master. In creative thought common sense is a bad master. Its sole criterion for judgment is that new ideas shall look like old ones. In other words, it can only act by suppressing originality.—A. N. Whitehead in "An Introduction to Mathematica." Raisins as Staff of Life. The life of Cuba is largely sustained by raisins, its people consuming the fruit more generally than any other of the Spanish-American colonies. Notice to Circles. To the Circles of the East Mt. Olive Baptist Association: Dear Sisters, I write you through your churches and to the pastors asking their cc-oporation. I would love to visit your circles as the time is fast advanced and there is much to be done for the Masters Cause. I have had a deal of sickness also death in my family this year; but I promised the Lord through storms arise I would take my cross and tollow on. I desire to visit your circles. Dear christian pastors, I ask that you do not shut up your church at the hour the circle is to meet and say we have no spare time for the missionary. I hope that I shall have a letter soon from some president saying come and visit our circles. God bless the work. E. M. LONG, State Missionary 519 E. Howard St., Centralia, Ill. General Baptist State Associat'n Read Carefully and Act Quickly. To the Pastors and members of the churches belonging to the General Baptist State Association of Illinois. There are only four months until we meet at Evanston Ill., and there is great need of money for Missions and Education. We have not done all we could do no not half. We have been telling the people that we are loyal Baptist and proud of our State Association. Let us stop telling the people with our tongue and from now until the annual session tell them by our work. Can we work? Yes? But will we work? Every pastor and member is asked to join your corresponding secretary in a drive for christian missions. If you are interested in the advancement of our state association, now is the time to show it. Send me your name and address and I will send you the plan to work for the success of the drive. I assure you it will not interfere with your local church work in any way, but will prove that your church and yourself are really interested in the work. Why not make this the banner year for the General Association. We must not wait for something to turn up for our own success. We can make this drive a big thing if every officer in the state association will at once send in their names and set to work, it is a very hard pull without cooperation, send me your names by return mail and get busy on the job. To the Voters of Metropolis Comes greeting. The writer only wishes to present some facts aud questions, which should be deeply considered in making up your mind, to cast your vote for Mayor. When certain parties were in charge of the Massac Park who was the first person to take the matter up in the interest of the Colored people, was it not Dr. Neville?. When there was an effort to prevent the Colored soldiers from marching in a National Parade to Massac park during the great War, who was the principal person that stood by the maintenance of their rights? Dr. Neville When the people of Metropolis extended to the Colored U.S. voter an ovation before departing to the front? Dr. Neville. Who was the Marshall that marched them into Washington park? Dr. Neville. Who was the man that finally gave the right of equal recognition to the Colored people in the use of was made to restore health to people in your condition. It has been of permanent benefit to thousands who are afflicted just as you are. Why don't you try a bottle? Get in line for better health—beginning today. .

J. 903 Cartarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure cartarrh deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Medicine acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Catarrh Peafness that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Medicine, Circulars free. All Druggists, 75e. the Base 'ball park? Dr. Neville. Who was the first president of the School Board to invite colored patrons to be present at a meeting of the board to give their ideas of the needs of their school? Dr. Neville. Who invited the Colored soldiers to drill in his park? Dr. Neville. Who was the chief inspiration in securing for them the splendid school building they now have at this time? Dr. Neville. Fellow voters in view of the above facts and noble traits simply shows the broad vision of justice and righteousness of the man. Dr. Neville, stands for equal rights and fair play to all men. All voters who have had any real dealing with him since he has been ih the city of Metropolis, cannot honorably deny the above statements. Some say that he is too old to do the work as Mayor. Who will not say that he is not one among the best read and informed men of our city? What of his physical ability? You may make a selection of one-hundred men sixty five years old and group them in class A and B Dr. Neville will go more than fifty fifty in class(A) I am sure the Colored voters can not and will not so early forget the manly efforts which Dr. Neville has put forth for equal rights as citizens; Education and the general uplift of the colored people. He believes in the eternal principles, all men "Up and none Down." He's worthy and competent for the place. Respectfully. A Friend to the Voters Misfit Name. Little Florence climbed upon her fa ther's lap on her birthday and put her arms around his neck. Father always called her "Toodies," and until now she had answered to the name.

This comes to say my tours through the Southern parts of the State in the interest of our State work has met with much success, yea beyond my anticipation. The brethren where I have been have met me with open doors, hands and hearts, and the interest that is being manifested for our State Work has been an eye opener to me, since I have been out for our State work. May God bless the brethren so the good work may go on. But listen Brethren, I regret very much that I cannot come to all of my brethren and do justice to my own pastorate, and yet, I must reach you some way before our meeting in Evanston. May next. So I am trying to reach you by this letter to say I am asking all of the churches that are affiliating with our State Association to give your humble servant at least a five or ten dollar hearing if I get there in person, and if I cannot get there in person but come thru the mail please give me the same consideration as if I were there in person. I am doing what I can to make our next meeting a financial success. May I have your cooperation? God bless all for everymore. W. P. Washington Administrator's Notice. Esiate of Mary F.

New suits will have to possess a novel feature if up-to-date young women are to be satisfied. The pipe pocket should be considered in creating all feminine garments of the future. Perhaps it is the effect of galting the suffrage, so that they feel they must go on to wider, freer conquests, but, anyway, certain it is that the girls are getting tired of cigarettes and are turning to good old-fashioned cornbone pipes as a solace for the languors of modernity, says the Philadelphia Ledger. Some time ago several young women in New York decided that cigarettes were too expensive, and that they ought to join the great world movement for financial conservation by substituting pipes for the more delicate joy. But at that time ordinary pipes were not tried, usually small, ladylike ones being selected. Now, however, substantial corncobs, cheap, picturesque and nonbreakable, are the favorites. ! "The corncob pipe is unpretentious, respectable and conservative," one of the corncob devotees explained. "Many of our great-grandmothers smoked corncobs. Especially is this true of those of us who had southern great-grandmothers. There is something like a Bolshevik like a cigarette, but we feel that in smoking corncobs we will be back on the sure foundation of good old-fashioned Americanism. The people who are always lamenting the good old days will be pleased, and will feel that the country is saved." ANYWAY, PROPELLER IS GONE Dispute Now Is Whether It Was Torn, Bitten, or Blown Off, But It Is Missing. What happened to the starboard propeller of the United Fruit Liner Calamares, recently arrived at New York from Central American ports and Havana, puzzled her skimmer, officers and passengers, who discussed the mystery since the ship threw a fit on the afternoon of Wednesday, January 19, in the placid Caribbean and started wabbling, heaving, pitching, tossing, rolling and doing other things that no healthy ship does at all the same time. Capt. Harry Spencer stopped the liner and the chief engineer examined the starboard propeller. He found that one of the blades had been torn, bitten or blown off. Some summed that a sea serpent might have nibbled at the propeller and others said outright there was no doubt a steel-eating Caribbean shark had bitten off the blade. Captain Spencer derided these theories, declaring the blade had been blown off by the force of a subaqueous earthquake, as the Calamaries began rocking violently a moment after the mysterious force was first felt. And there the matter rests. Electric Air Purifier. How many places there are where the natural air circulation is inadequate! Restaurants, for instance! How often one enters them with a wee bit of appetite, only to have that wee bit reduced to none at all, by the close and stuffy atmosphere of the place. Not only that, but the cooking odors are all too apparent. In other words, the place is so "smelly" that appetite dwindles instead of being whetted, and even though the food is good, the appetite is lacking. Is there any remedy for the close and stuffy conditions of so many restaurants? There is the electric air purifier that costs no more to operate than an electric fan, and it removes air impurities and approximates outdoor conditions, so there is a pleasant, stimulating tang in the atmosphere. It is valuable in kitchens, offices, basements, smoking rooms and theaters—wherever the air conditions are apt to be bad and inadequate. Bad Omen to Dream of Devils Bad Omen to Dream of Devils. To dream of seeing devils is a bad omen for the sick. For the young one denotes grief, melancholy, anger, sickness. Devils with horns, claws, tails, ete., or with pitchfork, torment, despair. To fight with a devil, peril. To talk with one in a familiar manner, danger near at hand, despair, and sometimes loss of life. To be carried off by a devil is a warning of great misfortune. To be possessed by a devil, great favor from one in power, long and happy life. To be pursued and fly from a devil, fear, persecution from a man in power, law troubles. To beat and conquer one, triumph over an enemy, glory. Kept It Up Too Long. One day at a community sing we were instructed to sing a round. As this was the first round I had ever sung I had great difficulty in carrying the tune with my set. To make it easier, I put my fingers in my ears so that I wouldn't hear the other divisions singing. Imagine my embarrassment when, taking my fingers from my ears, I discovered I had been singing about a minute after the others had stopped, and that they were all sitting there laughing at me—Exchange.

Dear Madam: I have your kind favor of 7th inst., in which on behalf of your organization, The Woman's Christian Tempdrance Union, you ask me three questions, and I will answer them in the order asked.

Concluding, I assure you that I am delighted to have this opportunity to express myself regarding the questions so vital to the community.
