TWO MORE FELLOWS BLOWED UP.

Having noticed in the last issue of the Free
Press the lamentabe fate of friend Levi who
got blowed plum up a few days ago and it hav
ing produced such a stir in this section of the
country have been induced to add few
thoughts in connection with the same by record
ing the cases of two more fellows blowed up
recently. But the fate of friend Levi has called
fourth our sympathy and we would solicit the
public generally to aid in restoring him to his
former position. In the present sketch will
have to introduce three characters; Billie johnny,
and Jimmie. it to he distinctly understood
though that Billie and JOHNNY are the fellows
blOwed up, while Jimmie acted very conspicu-
Gus part in the blowing up, that is he done the

to the parties concerned without giving any
clue to the circumstance whatever, and leave it
to those fond of conjectures to picture in
their own fancy the case Under consideration.
Billie says he did not understand that he was
going to play that sort of game pitch in,' as
he calls it. Billy takes this method of inform
ing Jimmie if that is the hand he is going to
play. he will be with him the hest six in eleven
for the next three weeks or longer, if he feels
disposed to risk his chances. Johny gives it
up as he is of the short stock and not very long
neither, but says he would take hand rather
than be called nice. But as he don't consider
himself much "pumkins no way" he leaves it to
Billie to work him through with that sort of a
game which he saws he will do the next time he
meets him at the "hatters shop" But l think

IMPORTANT TO BANKS.

The Swedish papers bring accounts of very
important invention which has been laid before
the Commissioners of Banking at Stockholm
BY certain Count P. A. Spare. The inyen.
ton is two fold; he counter;cits with incredible
exactness the bank rotes in use, but prints others
which he himself cannot initiate. An editor
who has witnessed the process, remarks:
"When one sees Count Spare with his simple
MACHINERY, which any one may manage with
the greatest ease and facility prepare in few
minutes the hank paper i'll use which is made of
three different lamin1 and in this give, without
TIE slightest difficulty or even eXertion of arts
tic SKILL the finest water-marks in perfection,
and then follows the preparation Of the paper
by simple and merely monentarv process. but
which gives again the printing and engraving
absolutely prrfect-he feels a strange sensation
at the thought of being participation in the Sc
cretS of the art which, in less conscientious
hands, might ruin all our hanks and produce
utter and extricable confusion in our credit
system"
Count Spare in his memorial, states that
his process, iii does not render counterfeiting
utterly impossible, at all events increases its
difficulty to almost that decree and offers to
furnish the Rank with all its notes for the sum
of $4,000 thalers (SlS,000) per annum, which
is about one.half its present expense for paper.
The Commissioners have referred the question
TO committee of scientific men. In the mean.
time, Count Sparreis to visit England and other
countries to bring his invention into the notice
of the mercantile Pnblic.

A frightful attempt was made by negro man
to blow up the gas works at Richmond, Va,
last Saturday morning. 1t appears that he was
a blacksmith and worked in the building, but
was dissatisfied because he had been recently
sold to gentleman Of Mississippi. Regardless
of the consequences to himself and the lives
and property of those around him, he watched
an opportunity when every body else was absent
from that portion of the building, and applied
lighted match to one of the purifiers. The lids
of both purifiers were blown of, and when found
the mutilated remains of the headstrong negro
were lying several feet distant with fragments
of the heavy lids upon them. His head and
breast were crushed, and both his legs broken.
Fortunately he was the only victim of his dia-

TIE FORGED BONDS OF THE TERR

TORY OF FLORIDA.
In virtue of an act of the Legislature of the
Territory of Florida. passed in March, 1899 one
hundred bonds of S 900 each were to have
been issued by the Governor of that territory,
hearing his signature and that of the Secretary,
to raise money for territorial war purposes
They were issued accordingly, and five add
tional Cues were issued, tina. number having
been stolen by an assistant quarter master of
the territorial service called Col. Robert Arm.
strong, after being signed by the Territorial
Secretary and Treasurer but before the Govern
OF had signed them. The fact of the theft be-
came known to the Treasury Department here
in 1912, and watch was KEEP. for them some
years; but they we're not presented at the treasu-
ry for mpton-Congress having ordered the
redemption ofthe 100000 which had been raised
ed for military purposes. That is, they were
not presented until the theft had been forgotten
here. Last year, however, one of them turned
up having been forwarded here by New Or
leans banking house, with whom it had been
left for collection. 1t was duly paid principal
and interest, amounting to more than $4,000;
subsequently, two more of them have been sent
on for the money. The third auditor had rea-
son to believe that they were the missing bonds
and having duly Investigated the affair by cor
respondence with the present Governor of
Florida, has positively scertained that they are
portion of the bonds stolen as above described
Means have therefore been taken to recover the
amount already paid from the treasury on &C.
count of them and TO arrest those who have been
knowingly engaged IN perpetrating the fraud.

The Nobility of Labor.


Under this head the Southern Patriot ceremo-
Misses in All excellent article, which we have
marked for publication. The theme is worthy
of his pen, it is text on which eloquence may
dwell and argument sound and serious be dedu
ced. II is a fact, lamentably true, too triie we
fear for the good Of the country, that there is a
feeling continually on the increase that manual
labor is ignoble, and worthy only ola slave.
Gentlemen too frequently are judged by the
texture ofthe coat they have on their back, by
the deicacy Of the hands, the fairness of their
skin, while in truth, it is the heart that eonsti
tutes the true gentleman, and the raimenta man
wears is no more test of his gentility, than
the beard is an index of manhood. Tie mea.
ming of the word gentleman is meek man,
being composed Of the adjective gen te, and the
noun man. Society has so corrupted this word
that its definition now depends upon the tastes
of those defining it. Labor and gentiiity are
not anta2onistic. The connection between
them, in their true eignifcations is so strong
that they are ALMOST inseperahle. Every man
who labors is not gentleman, but no man can
be gentleman without labor in some way
though the spheres in which men labor are as
various as the human face. Some of the great
est men were the hardest workers. 1t is by this
means that they become great. Who would
think of having fruitful crops without labor?
The soil must be cultivated or it will not pro-
60
production Of nature, but they are formed by the
severest toll, the strictest self denial and the
most active energy. Mechanics, Laborers, and
Farmers are often snari>d at, because their
these men reflect that it is those very Mechan-
les. LabOrerS and farmers who mainly contribute
to sustain the government. 1t is upon them
that our safety or honor rests; they are the strong
arm of the State, the Notifications ofthe Bepub-
lie. The man who sneers at them, because of
their calling in life demands manual labor and
toll is no honor to the race Of humanity, a mere
popingay, whose mind u cramped by the fool
ish whmS and caprices of fashion. Has one Of
these mock gentlemen ever contributed his mite
TO the support of the great mass of humanity?
Is The world benefited by his existence or is he
burden and curse to it. All must come 10 the
latter conclusion.
Labor is one of the great commands Of God.
Idleness IS deprecated in the Holy Writ;the one
is honorable, the other dishonOrable. Labor
strengthens the physical costitution,t gives pow
er to the mind, 1t enobles the feelings. anL ma
kes great men and good citizens. Idleness on
the contrary, impairs the body, enervates the
mind, DESTROYS natural integrity, promotes dis
sipation and is source Of incalculable evil.
1t will on examination be found, and in many
instances of crime. 1t wrecks the physical sys-
TEN, debases the mental faculties fills our priS-
ons and Poor Houses and cumbers the earth
with race Of beings who live upon the sweat
of others brows, and pass off the state of life,
without beueftting others, developing them
selves. Is not Labor then more genteel than
Idleness?

The Abingdon Virginian says, on Tuesday
last, the engine crossed New River on the
bridge, and came as far as Newbern, % miles
east of Wytheville. Next week the passenger
train viii commence regular trips to that
point. From Lynchburg to Newbern is LOG
miles, and from Newborn to the State line, by
the road, is, we believe, SO miles. Thus we
have little more than half the whole line en-
tirely completed, the balance nearly all graded.
The most of the work TO do is the Is miles be-
tween Abingdon and Bristol, and the heaviest
sections of this are already graded With such
contractors as we have in these parts, and such
overseers, mountains melt away and valleys
swell up to plains, as imperceptibly almost
as dissolving scenes succeed each other.

This address to jug of Rum" was frs
published in 1915. 1t is as applicable now a
when it first appeared:
Here, only by a cork CONTROLLED,
Ard slender walls of earthen mould.
In all the pomp of death, repose
The seeds ofmany bloody nose;
The chatterng tongue, the horrid oath,
The fist f'r fighting nothing 10th;
The pass on which no words can tame,
That burst like sulphur into fame;
The nose carbuncled, growing red,
The bloated eve, the broken head;
The tree that bears the deadly fruit
Of murder. manning, and dispute,
Assault that Innocence assails,
The images of gloomy jails;
The siddy thought on mischief bent,
The midnight hour in riot spent;
All these within this jug appear,
And jack the hangman, in the rear.
