which was Incorporated In some comments you made on a paper called The Broad Ar sketched over the piece and the ending of It was about the best of it It reminded mo of Folks whisky W H Polk Lexingtonflorston and like all ex cept me knows good whisky He was traveling once and somebody handed him a flask of one of the outside brands of whisky and said Try that Its got the finest farewell you ever tasted Polk sampled It rnadejuwry face and sold It ought to havea fine farewell Its got the damndest howdydo ever tflkWofll I want to say that a publisher has on J aMlrcrthe aetr o especially when the other Is and always has been a friend True here at home where all know both the editor and myself this jotfe would have no other effect than to provoke a laugh especially with those who know that I am a reformed Journalist and that no longer associate with politicians Kentucky Colonels and other wicked characters who from time Immemorial have pressed the flowing bowl upon those who wielded the pen cil on newspapers causing many of the latter to become devoted worshippers at the shrine of John Barleycorn Therefore In self defense I write you this asking youIn fact demanding that you correct the wrong Impression you Lava Sept broadcast In regard to my sobriety Having known you so long and In timately and always entertaining the highest opinion of your real honesty I can only attribute this mistake on your part to your forgetfulness of what really did tell you about that drink By some peculiar mental operation you sub stituted me for another man I told you the story but not upon myself told you that the man who took the drink made the remark to the barkeeper about the quality of the whisky I was not a party to the transaction at all So It Is one of two things either you got it mixed or you saw a good opportunity to stretch the blanket and get off a Joke on me In either case you have hurt my repu tation and no matter what your mo tive was In so doing you owe me an apology and I shall expect It I have been trying to live an upright sober life and drinking nothing stronger than tea and coffee and believe that you will we your way clear to do me justice- have always bellved In the code as the only effectual mode by which to hold gentlemen responsible for Injuries they may do others It It were still In vogue we should see less slandering and vllllflcatlon I followiho spelling of the manuscript Moore of others In the public prints and there would be no hiding of the authors of such publica tions behind the plea that they donot believe In duelling Ills spelling Moore that It is barbarous c If you feel that you have unwillingly done me an Injustice and are willing to make the amende that you cannot but recognize as duo me it will be satisfactory to me Yous II POLIO ANSWER- To Editor W II Polk Esq Dear SirWhat I shall here say Is subject to the following proviso If there be in your mind even the remotest suspicion that what here say is gested by the thought that Discretion Is the better part of valor every word that smacks of apology is withdrawn and leave you to get the redress that you may desire as best you may and by such means as you may select you are the only man to the best of my knowl edge and belief that I ever asked to write a piece for my paper and this Is the first time you have ever done so The communication Is so diametrically opposed to what I would have antici pated that after several careful read Ings of it I am unable to say whether It Is all joke all earnest or part Joke and part earnest You ore a soldier of four years spot less record as a brave man Your par tlclpancy In the tragic street pistol duel between Editor Tom Green and politi cian Lou Baldwin was the most unsel fish piece of heroism that have known In my years I witnessed It at short range The smoke was such that you did not see and could not know who the principles were and yet you went In emptyhanded to separate them When the smoke cleared away Baldwin lay dead and Green lay beside him the blood spurting from several wounds and you were shot For that single deed on that spot this State owes you a monument to which would subscribe according to my means more than It does to John Breckinrldge who stands In bronze on Chcapslde I am sorry you used that word mand and do not believe that In all this city there Is an editor or a soldier of the blue or the gray who will say I owe you any apology but If after having enjoyed for 35 years your friend ship urimarr od by word or thoug excepting this possible instanceIiJ-

Judge Parkers court evidence that he would accept as competent to the effect that you ever tasted a drop of liquor In your life I would literally be at the end of my rope I do not remember ever to have seen In you or heard from you anything that Indicated you had used liquor and yet I suppose that like almost every Kentuckian you have sam pled the chief staple product of pur State You make no pretension to being a tin angel on wheels and yet do not remember that ever heard anybody say you had said or dune anything that I would hesitate to say or do today and print It In my paper am not given to eulogyam too much the other way but do not know a man in the whole broad world whose friendship I would not surrender as wil lingly as would yours Even your letter printed above contained the usual budget of extracts that you regularly send me to assist me In the publication of my paper The first copy of the Blue Grass Blade that was ever printed fell from the press at midnight in You were the first man who ever read a copy of the 0 B and your hearty appre- cIation of It wits the first thing that cheered me downhearted then as am now and ever will beto believe It would he a success Your wife and mine were friends and college mates before you and I ever heard of each other and It would be worse than suicide for you and me now to become enemies because I printed an old chestnut that had whiskers on It longer than mine Yours fraternally CHARLES MOORE P SSlnce the above was written have come back to my office and find from Jim that Polks letter Is all a Joke and of course I am gratified to find It so but I am glad It afforded me on opportunity to say sonic things about an old friend that I wanted to say any how You all may think I am a fool for not having seen the Joke In the first place but I have had so many strange experiences In which friends have de serted me that the fact Is I dont know who Is coming next and I was really fooled by Polks letter Its a horse on me

what has happened It would be difficult Indeed to conceive a teaching that could bring about a condition more fa tal to happiness In this life more ruin ous to social purity more destructive of human sympathy more deleterious to health and morals more terrorizing to humanity more disastrous to worldly enterprise more adverse to scientific research more crushing to ambitious achievement and more in jurious In Its effects upon Its followers In general thin the hoaryheaded teaching that we are living for the fu ture life and not the present life that todays reality must be thrust aside for

failure of the pre sent life In order to gain the possible future existence we are content to cross the bridge when we reach It and not before Does C Sproal call Immortality a pretty legend with the

him for the place hes going to and if I dont out live him I want Wilson to give Rucker another turn when he shuffles off the as much our moral duty to roast a bad man Who has died as it isrto praise a good man who has died The most prominent two preachers in America were Talmage and Sam Jones the first a smooth article and the lat ter a rough article but each of them t managed to get the lucre all the same The man who starts out to find any good thing that Talmage has ever said searchIhad money and travel and store clothes and good grub galore and now if Jcknew it all when he got off that

like a fool Talmage knew that that dying words racket was n g that the newspaper boys wouldnt have it and so he didnt get up anything heavenly to snoot offijust before he died and his last words were

Avenue Presbyterian Church Ioul vllle Ky on March 2- 3Rev1 Kinsey Smiths subject was Jonah The subject Is not a new one The Bible gentleman Jonah and the Bible character the whale whom he was most Intimately associated with have been stars on the theoloj cal stage for centuries rivaled only by Adam and the talking snake who the foundation stone of theology Jo nah was an Indispensable and able as slstant In perfecting the scheme salvation for If Jonah had not mained In the whales belly three day and then been thrown up on dry lam how could It be proven that Christ lay dead In the grave three days accon lug to the Bible Christ lay In the grave 1twonights and one day and then came up from the grave alive and with strength to leave the sin curse earth and ascend to his Father In Heaven How can any credulous mind fall to see that each of these miracles proves the other It has al ways seemed strange to me that the Inspired writer In giving the hlstor of Jonah did not plainly state that Jonah being swallower by a whale and turning against the whales stomach came to earth again was a typ of a crucified Savlor of the race win should be put to death by Gods chosen people sleep three days In the bowel of the earth and then come to earth again If this had been done It might not have added tothe prominence and t Immortal fame of Jonah but it might have resulted in a general acceptant of Christ without the devices design and pleadings of orthodoxy for 200 matter how this fish story Is disposed of Jonah Is a gentleman that orthodoxy cant keep down any more I ban the whale could The LouIsville rimes said that Dr Smiths sermon on Jonah was Interesting Why not Any human being who had passed through such experience as Jonah Is tinteresting both In or out of a ser tIL 7mobDr Smith said that the Book of Jo fortI andbrfqt for the only thing on this earth that 7JtI1nnot be ridiculed Is the TRUTH proceeds in his sermon as 1 follows Various schools of thought have applied themselves to the book One holds that It is a pure work of fiction another that the story of Jonah is legorical after the manner of the parables of the New Testament and In tended to Instill the lesson of Gods goodness forgiveness and mercy The evangelical school however explained Dr Smith held to the strict line of the Inspiration and truth of the Book of Jonah It teaches that Jonah was actually swallowed by the great flsh and lived within it until cast up It Is no more difficult to believe that Jonah was swallowed by the fish con tinned the preacher than to believe that Christ expanded the loaves and fishes Into enough to feed the multitude or that he turned water Into wine The acceptance of a miracle Is an actor faith Why is It harder to accept one miracle than another f One tnlng Is certain the story of Jonah is a pure fiction an allegory or a FACT Fiction and allegory are twins A parable Is defined as a moral fable an allegory like a parable Is al so a table so both are pure fiction The Bible abounds In parable arid allegory They ride roughshod over truth common sense natural law his tory arithmetic geography and as tronomy The Bible allegory Is recog nlzed at once because It Is always pre posterous impossible and incredible yet we are taught that it is but an am huscade for the truth Strange that the Divine Author should not bring poor mystefied hu manity face to face with the truth up on the questions on which It Is claimed the Immortal destiny of the race writers albne employ meta phor allegory and parable to puzzle Ibe reader fEven in Esop the Arabian Nights Munchausen Josephus and Confucius in their ornate decorative style made the meaning of their allegories per fectly clear If the whale really swal lowed Jonah to give to the world a type of Christ lying In the grave It was hard on the whale 1threeday Jonah and the haziest allegory ever presented to the human J Kinsey Smith in his sermon said he believed that Jonah was actu ally swallowed by the great fish and rived wtudQ1t until cast up Dr j iT Smith fuither said that It is no more difficult to believe that Jonah was swallowed by the flab than to hellen that Christ expanded the loaves and fishes Into enough to feed the multitude or that he turned water Into wine It is in fact very difficult to believe either of these so difficult that the world at large rejects them and they are believed or preached only by the unevoluted clergy and their cred bus flocks But It is more difficult to believe the Jonah story than that Christ multiplied the loaves and fishes and changed water Into wine Neither Jonah nor the whale were God and it is claimed that Christ Is God and the Christian teaching Is that all things are possible with God Certainly It cannot be claimed that the man Jonah and the big fish could perform such wonders as God The Rev Smith says the acceptance of a miracle Is an act of fait Why It harder to accept one miracle than another It Is not to those who accept on faith all that la preach ed torn the pulpit as truth A big miracle or a little one Is entirely ceptable to the mind that Inherits Its on Jonah has been written by a noted theologian and in It he says that while Jonah was a guest at the marine hotel he could hear the seaweed scraping the sides of the grdat fish and a picture has been painted showing Jonah sitting at luncheon with a mermaid In one of the private dining rooms of the ocean hot telry And this it Is claimed forecast the Last Supper of our Lord held in an upper room at Jerusalem Do we believe these things Why not It Is all a matter of faith as Dr Smith truly says Could the most obtuse mind fall to recognize that nah while In the whales stomach ing lunch with a mermaid is a type of the risen Savior Instituting the Eu not if faith Is strong enough The Bible teaches that faith can remove mountains It never has done so up to date Old Ararat and all the other mountains are just when they were when Moses was In the bull rushes Earthquakes may have giver them a shaking but the combined faith of the ages has never moved one ol them Of course we dont know what faith may do hereafter as it is young yet only a few thousand years old But now listen to DrJ Kinsey Smith In his Jonah sermon and here Is where he beats an ungraceful treat fJ 1nlilelnCall1bI1lt and Pies byterlan orthodoxy He says tuut In the spirit of caLIcLd frankness desire to say that I should not attempt to read a man out of the church who after consideration and re flection came to the conclusion that the story of Jonah is an allegory That Isa matter for his own conscious No man can prove or will ever be able to prove from evidence outside of the Bible whether the story of Jonah is really history It is an act of faith and belief whether you accept It as his a person does not have to believe the Jonah part of the Bible to be mitted to Dr Smiths church Poor old Jonah after his rough experience if being evicted by the Whale now or thodoxy knocks him out of the Bible Ike Noahs weary dove he can find no lace to rest If conscience can reject the Jonah miracle how about the other miracles of the Bible The firth and resurrection of Jesus are stupendous miracles and as Dr Smith says of the Jonah story No man can prove or will ever be able to prove hem outside of the Bible can science decide these things by reject- Ing them along with Jonah and net the rejector not be read out of the church If not why not The truth Is the church does not are what men or women believe or refuse believe so they put their names on the church roll fill the pews amI cast In the coin wish Dr J Kinsey Smith or some ther learned divine would preach a sermon on the 37th chapter of Eze Idel It contains the champion mIra- cle of the Scriptures Jonah and the whale have to retire in disorder ore this miracle Wonder It the evangelical school hold to the strict line of the inspiration and truth of the 37th chapter of Ezekiel or will it How conscience to accept it in a ickwlcldan sense as Dr Lyman bott says he accepts the book of Jonah The position of Dr J KInsey SmIth Is that belief In the Inerrant Bi ble Is not necessary to obtain memI ersbip in the

Most Poem of The 20th CenturyCharles Moore The weary sun with wavering throbs- o light- ClOwnel1 by the crimson of Its clouds tad set Upon the vineloved hills of Olivet Leaving them guarded by the stars and Night The patient brook of ICIdron murmured faint Above Its pebbles as It loitered by While peace Incomparable lined the sky And no bird uttered there a wooing plaint The rlew blest rushes bowed as It in prayer No leafy sound perturbed the con scious calm The flowers It seemed gave forth a suaver balm Expectancy most holy filled the air And One the Son of God the spotless Christ Walked thither with Ills Father to commune Then to Gethsemane where roses strewn His worn and wandering sandals had enticed Then to Gethsemane to dumbly pray Amid the birds and buds less pure than He passloqUntil the rosy advent of the day For his reproachless spirit was serene The gross temptations and the fre rqtient guiles That had besot his path with prayers and smiles He had resisted while His soul was clean And following Him unto this quiet glade Came Peter whom He loved with John and James Men of sweet worth dowered with immortal alms 1To watch upon the Purity that prayed And In the shade crepuscular and dim They rested while He wandered o- nialone of sins that He had never known While solemnly they there awaited Him 4 Now Gtd was greatly pleasured bythe sight And when the Savior In contrition knelt To crave His blessings the great Godheart felt That it would spare Him for the world that night Spare Him and lend Him Increase of fair years To preach unto mankind to soothe- to save To lessen the dire terrors of the grave cast forth wrongs and dry afflictTo ing tears He still shall prosper God superbly said With pious touch and with accus tomed zeal The banes and bllghtR of multitudes- to heal To aid the helpless resurrect the dead But ore He give salvation unto men Ere He redeem their perishable dust Before He galneth my unfaltering trust Hla faith unshaken must be tried again Then the blithe birds enraptured by Christs prayer Broke thro the silence with exultant notes For He had ceased and praises from their throats Melodious and sweet refreshed the air And Jesus Christ arose to seek the day While Heaven Itself was dawning in His eyes But as He stirred In wondering surprise A strange shape passed before Him on the way A miracle of loveliness a form Of woman fashioned from no mortal clay creature fairer than creations day With tempting lovelips amorously warm No living thing His Godhead ever made Had fallen upon His unsuspecting sight Ae far as this

nourish and Way did obey But with a tremulous rustle of scared wings If they had seen an adder mute with stings They only touched the ground and flew away And there within a place that beasts would shun A desolate waste uncaravaned and wild She travailed and gave birth unto a child Her son and Christs and image of Gods s A babe whose beauty earth had never know The fruit of loves celestial and unique Whowalk upon her bosom frail and And yet with all the strength of God his own And the child grew to prattle on her knee A smiling paragon of mirth and grace A seraphlight and glory in his face

The soul of the fair temptress to left her name unsought Her whiteness by His darkness had been gloomed But the sweet spirit of sweet Christ His Son Gods Son so perfect and divine He saved to be the everlasting sign For men to worship and to look upon He spared It for His own allnameless views To blend In many subtile shapes and burn In ways unknown to mortals and return To earth that saw Its birth yet nothing lose And through succeeding generations lie Ordained the Holy Spirit should scend Forever and forever without end Embodied In humanities to be And then He bade by HIs unfaltering

hath nothing more to give And when our earth to atoms has been hurled In the dim future peopled with vague fear It still will live in many another sphere And sway creation In another world Forever and

twenty years ago on a cool I10nesol11IJ Sunday evening In the month I took a walk all alone 1 down the Albany branch of the P W Ry from Pelham In Mitchell conn 1wty to Meigs In Thomas county Qa vast longleaf pine forest of South west Georgia was then an unbroken i wilderness only excepting an occa sional saw mill set or chop or hack o- fF the turpentine hunter with now and then a small clearing and a peeled pole residence and such men as Wllkes r Carter Davis Vlch Mlze Hagood Hu tr her Culpepper etc etc along the way and nround the then new postofllce called Meigs would Insist that the whole of this country nettle from the whole pasturage of the wlregrass and the turpentine and lumber Interests was worthless and that crops of corn oats and vegetables took more value In cost of fertilizer to produce them than r the value of the crops when matured and as a consequence of such a notion as this lands that had been turpentine for miles around could be bought t a song and you could sing It yourself Even J L Hand of Pelham argued f there was no value In the immense crops of crab grass that grew up and f covered every potato patch melon field corn farm or after oats In summer ami fall hat now all Is changed J L y Hand more than ten years ago was selling this same worthless crab kJ grass or after grass cut with a Mc Cormlck mower raked with a spring k tooth snlkey rake and baled with a m- chineby the car load And Albany 4d t merchants Inaugurated the Hay Carnl val Straw Ride Street Fair and t Fall Festival growing out of the cut ting of this luscious fall crop with the machine Instead of pulling and tielng In bundles of hay and sand And now f go over this same ground youll find shalf the whole country cleared up and producing In sugar cane sweet syrup cow peas goover peas rice cotton wa 4 termelons peaches pears plums May berries straw berries sweet grapes ietc as much In clear profit and gross per acre as the rich prarles of Illinois or the blue grass region of Ity Kentucky and they sing a very different song now to that of twenty years ago Then could do the singing and buy at my own price of a few cents t acre now they do the singing and sell at their own price and at almost as many dollars per acre as it was cents then And its just about the same experience here around Moultrie where fir I came and pitched my tent and went to house keeping on a six dollar
