THE MOONSHINEES’ CREED. The Gang of Which He Is the Head Hold That It Is No‘Crime to Kill 2; Rev- enuelomcer, and They Have Hith- erto Lived Up to Their Belief. MERIDEN, Miss, Oct. 29.——-Bob Sims, the notorious Seventh Adventist moonshiner of Alabama, has written a letter addressed to the peopleof Alabam 1. He recites that three times he has been forced by mobs to leave his home to save his life. He now asks for a fair trial, but says that the state should prove the existence of law by pro- ceeding against the mobs which had driven the Simses from their home. “A law not executed is no law, then,” he says, “all debts are canceled; all goes back to the creator, and no man has any right to claim rent or taxes, and anybody has the right to make whisky and. give it to whom he pleases. “I am not a transgressor, for where there is no law there is no transgression. If you have law, apply it to mobs as well as to mortgages. be exempt because headed by leading citi- zens, then poor men should unite and re sist mortgages.” He asks the press to make his viewa public, promising in a few days revela- tions which will shed light upon “the out- burst of hell fire in Choctaw county.” Sims’ Novel Religion. Some time ago one of Sims’ sons was captured by revenue officers. A party of his friends and relatives rescued him, and in the fight two officers and one of the moonshiners were killed. Robert Sims, the leader of the moonshiners, attracted some local notoriety several years ago by teaching a religious doctrine entirely new, and establishing a sect called the Simsites. Sims taught his few deluded followers. that they must recognize no human au- thority. The Bible was to be their only law, and the leader, Sims, was to interpret its teachings to those who joined his sect. His first teaching was that it was right to make whisky without paying the govern- ment tax. He had no trouble in convert- ing a number of his neighbors to this be- lief, and in a little while they accepted all his teachings. Sims set the fashion of de- fying the authorities, and his band 01 moonshiners has given the revenue officers no little trouble for several years. No Sin to Kill Revenue Ofiicers. Several women joined the new religious order and became very enthusiastic over it. Sims and his family are persons of ordinary education and intelligence, but they managed to establish a weekly paper as the organ of their new church. It is called The Veil Is Rent, and the editor is the eldest daughter of Sims. The paper is read by all members of the organization. Sims became very bold in his defiance ol the revenue officers as his band of follow- ers increased. He cut a wide path through the woods from the nearest public road to his illicit still, and put up placards an- nouncing that the path led to the still of Robert Sims. He made his ignorant fol- lowers believe that they would commit no sin if they killed revenue Officers in de- fense of their illicit business. Sims has for several years openly preached and taught that he and his fol- lowers would not recognize or obey the laws of the land, when, in their opinion, such laws conflicted with the laws of the Bible. The followers of this strange char- acter do not number more that 100, and are confined to ignorant backwoodsmen. Struck for Their Pay. WAVELAND, Ind., Oct. 29,—The train- men employed on the Midland railroad yesterday refused to work, because the company is in arrears of pay. The men should have been paid on Monday, but the money was not forthcoming, consequently they decided to strike. The section men have also struck and no trains are run- ning. The officials of the company here promised to pay the men at Anderson, but when they attempted to run their trains to that place the switchmen Spiked the switches and declared that no train could be run until the men of this section had been paid. Barstow Appointed Negotiator. BURLINGTON, Vt., Oct. 29.——-Ex-Govern01 John L. Barstow, of Shelburn, has been appointed by the secretary of the interior a commissioner to negotiate with the Navajo Indians for the surrender of a part of their reservation in New Mexico. He is also to be the disbursing agent of the commission. Mr. Barstow was governor from 1882 to 1884 and has held many offices of honor and trust. Crushed Dead in a. Flaming House. SHOALS, Ind., Oct. 29.——A farmhouse be- longing to \Villiam Elliott was burned with all its contents.
