BAPTIZED WITH
WATER FROM JORDAN.
This is taken from the church
register of the M. E. church,
South, of this place: “Victor
Charles Phillips, son of Charles
and Kate Phillips, was baptized
by me December 21, 1881, with
water out of the river Jordan,
that was brought to the United
States by Dr. A. R. Winfield.
S. L. Cochran.”
Mr. Phillips was at that time a
resident of this place, but later
moved to Salem, Fulton county,
where his son, Victor Charles, is
now engaged in the practice of
law.—Melbourne Register.
The young man referred to is
a nephew of Judge Jos. W. Phil

REFORM IS SADLY
NEEDED IN NEWPORT.
To the Independent.
Are the officers blind to the
fact that the law is being boldly
violated? Gambling houses are
practically wide open night and
day, Sunday not excepted. Bawdy
houses are running and boldly
plying their nefarious trade.
I paid Honka Tonk a visit last
night for the first time, accom
panied by an officer, and found
at 11 o’clock lewd women enter
taining mere boys. I saw seven
or eight boys in the round of
three houses I visited. Such
shocking immorality foisted and
tolerated by the officials. One
old woman, whose name the offi
cer informed me was Mrs. Long,
stated boldly that boys had been
visiting there in considerable
numbers ever since she had been
there, and stated that that was
a long time. One soiled dove
spoke to me thus, “Come in,
Kid,’’ being so accustomed to
addressing and decoying boys
into her house of debauchery.
All this I heard and saw. In
the name of common decency can
Newport’s officials not stop this
evil? Can they arrest a violator
of an ordinance of some other
kind and pass sentence when
they are so direlect as to stand
and see ordinance No. 29 tram
pled under foot? It is a shame
that a boy can’t leave his paren
tal domicile a few paces without
coming into contact with gross
official negligence.
I have talked to some, and they
say it is a necessary evil. In the
name of common decency are we
to have a hell hole run under our
very noses to debauch, degrade
and destroy the body and soul
because some of the low thinkers
call for a necessary evil? Send
a boy to hell because it is neces
sary! Such a flimsy excuse for
revenue (for I understand that a
monthly fine is collected from
the bawds for town revenue).
Talk of Judas Iscariot’s blood
money.
Please stop and inquire
you are at.” Officers, I ap^
to you for help in this mati *. __,_

mothers. Let us get to work and J

FIELD BATTERY
FOR ARKANSAS.
Little Rock, July 26.—Brig. -
Gen. E. M. Hayes, U. S. A., re
tired, assigned to service with
the Arkansas state militia, left
yesterday afternoon for Wash
ington, D. C., to confer with the
war department with reference
to securing a battery for Hot
Springs. Congress appropriated
$700,000 for the purpose of pur
chasing field guns for the milita
of the various states, and so far
no assignment has been made for
Arkansas. A battery of three
guns, with all appurtenances",
costs $55,000, and Gen. Hayes
thinks he will be able to induce
the department to give Arkansas
a battery, since the state is
making such a commendable
showing in militia matters.
EAGLES, NOTICE.
The Fraternal Order of Eagles
meet Wednesday evening, July
27, at lodge hall. There will be
important business.
