SYMPATHY FOR JAPAN.
Bishop Charles B. Galloway,
one of the most beloved prelates
in the South, at a missionary
meeting in Waco, Tex., prayed
that Japm might come off victo
rious in her fight with Russia.
TT for the fiimnlication i
were that Japan is friendly to;
the missionaries and Russia is |
not. If the mikado wins in this!
war he will not interfere with
the missionaries in his own king
dom nor molest those who are
now stationed in Korea and Man
churia.
The policy of Russia, as we
frequently stated, is to hermeti
cally seal her possessions so that
foreigners cannot gain entrance
to them. She has driven foreign
manufacturers out of her do
mains, after inviting them there
and after they have spent thou
sands on top of thousands of
money to establish their factor
ies. She has made it convenient
for foreign residents to take up
their habitations outside her
boundaries, and her laws rela
tive to the spread of the gospel
are so stringent that only the
Greek church, the church of
state, is recognized or allowed
within the empire.
The czar is not only the st£te,
he is^o the church. And, one
of the strongest holds he ha(s on
ika,, r
his people lies in the fact that he
is the head of chi”*ch and state.
Were he to gain undisputed pos
session of Manchuria and Korea
the missionaries of all the church
es except his own would have to
move out. That is one reason,
and perhaps the strongest, why
the people of this country, irre
spective of the position of neu
trality assumed by their govern
ment, are partisan supporters of
Japan, ann Bishop Galloway in
his public prayer was reflecting,
unwittingly, no doubt, the senti
ments of more than 95 per cent
of the inhabitants of America
when he prayed for divine inter
ference in behalf of the smaller
combatant.—Memphis Commer- 1
cial Appeal.
MYSTERY CLEARED.
A mystery which had cast sus
picion upon four men was cleared
away Saturday noon when Sheriff
Bandy received a telegraph mes
sage from Mrs. James Parsons, j:
stating that her husband had
been found at his brother’s home
near Bradford. :
Parsons was called away from
his camp at the Confederate park
above this city one night recent- 1
ly and failed to return. The
other pearlers thought that he '
had been foully dealt with and
swore out warrants before Jus- i,
tiee Guy Smith for the arrest of ,
four men, G. T. Forrest, Louis i
Collier, Fikes Porter of Newark '
and Sherman Hilton of Elmo.
The first two had been ar
rested, but were ordered re-1
leased when the mystery was
cleared. What caused Parsons
to disappear in so peculiar a
manner as to thus alarm his
friends is unknown, but the in
cident goes to show that circum
stantial' evidence is not always
to be relied upon, but sometimes
apparently incriminates an in-!
nocent man.

Time Tells
The Story.
There is a big difference be
tween the cost of making a first
class sewing machine, embodying
the best materials and workman
ship, and one which is made in the
cheapest manner. The buyer of
the cheap machine soon pays the
difference of price in the constant
cost for repairs, to say nothing of
its annoying inefficiency.
