An INSANE ED1ToR.-The editor Of the New
York Citizen raves thus "The man who mar
ries woman whose mother living, is morally
certain to find in the latter foo of his domes-
tie peace. Until the law establishes under
heavy penalties, an absolute suspension Of all
intercourse between the wife and her mother,
so long must we look to see the righteous ha-
tired Of the mother-in-law an invariable fact.
What the penalty attached to the violation of
such law should be, must be left to the dis.
cretion of the aw-makers. If they should
happen to be married men, we may be certain
that it will be nothing less than death" Is
this case of indigestion or dyspepsia? !? Can
man thus write and not banker after the blood
of his mother-in-law? Really, this is encour-
aging revolution, the consequences of which
no man can foresee. 1t is astonishing when a
son-in-law is bilious what things he will write

'NARRow' GUAGE RA1LRoADs.-A compa-
ny has been organized in Ohio with S400, 900
capital, to build three-foot guage railroad be.
tween Piqua and Celina, running through
Miami, Shelby, Anglazine and Mercer counties
The right of way is to be fifteen feet, instead Of
forty, the usual width. The locomotives are to
weigh FIVE tons, instead of thirty, and to be ca.
pable of drawing from ten to twenty loaded
freight cars, each of TWO and q half tons capac-
people. A road of this guage is already in
operation in Ohio, between Akron and Massil-
Ion. An extensive system of railroads of this
width is also being constructed as feeders to the
trunk lines centering at Toronto, and the pro.
jectors of the Buffalo and Springfield Road are
thinking of adopting the same guage 1t is
also being adopted in Russia.

WARNING TO INEBRrATEs.-Dr. McCulloch
gives the following test, which perhaps, may
be innocently tried by all who are skeptical as
to the prejudicial effects of alcoholic drinks on
the constitution:
Hold mouhtful of spirits -whiskcy, for in
stance-in your mouth for five minutes, and
you will find it to burn severely; inspect the
mouth, you will observe that it is. infamed.
Hold in ten or fifteen minutes, you will find
that various parts of the mouth have become
blistered; then tie handkerchief over the eyes
and taste, for instance, water, vinegar, milk or
senna; you will find that you are incapable of
distinguishing the one from the other.
This simple and easy experiment proves to a
certainty that alcohol is not only violent irri-
tant, but also narcotic; for in this experiment
you have objective evidence that it has inAamed
and blistered the mouth, and for the time being
paralyzed the nerve OF, taste, and, to certain
extent, those also of common sensation. Now
this is not an experiment or fact upon which
any doubt has ever been or ever can be thrown;
and ask you, can you believe that the still
more important internal organs of ebody can
be less injuriously affected than the mouth?
s'The moderate use," says DIR. Williamson,
"of such liquors, if long continued, and grown
habitual, cannot fail to have ultimately pre-
judicial effect upon the health, while it may be
confidently asserted that there are no circum-
stances of ordinary character under which it
can be justified as beneficial or necessary"

LETTER FROM SCHOOL BoY.-A young
ster attending school in Paducah has written
his mother the following characteristic letter ::
"Dear Mother: got another licking yester-
day, but lad on three pair o. pants and it
didn't hurt much. I was licked because put
six pins in Mrs chair. I knew they
would not stick him, and I made bet that
they would not. Mr.. - was so mean and
hard that the pins could not go in. I won the
bet, which was dog. He is good dog, and
am training him to bite old 'Hard-sides' as we
call him, some night when he comes home af-
ter dark. He is ofter out after dark, and, ii
Zack is as good after him as he is after cats,
won't get licked any more. Zack and killed
three cats, Sunday, though was at Sunday
school and church all day, and it was not
good day for killing cats either This makes
the third licking got this week. One was be-
cause had bottle of milk in my room, and
the other was because wrote composition on
negroes that old Hard-sides didn't like Isaid
that a negro was dark subject to write On. 1t
was like dark African going down dark
cellar on dark night without light to look
for a black cat that was not there. Old Hard
sides stopped me and then licked me for that.
Send me some more of them pies. I made
good trade with some Of them. If you will
send me i've dollars I will stop all my bad hab-
its, except cursing and swearing and chewing
and drinking and one or two others. You had
better make the trade. Give my love to Julie,
and tell hsr to send mo that little fiddle ] left
in tho old trunk.

Andrew Fletcher of Saltoun, immortalized
his name with two utterances. He it was who
said "Give me the making of a nations songs,
and 1 care not who make its laws" And when
it was proposed to him to take the oath of alle-
glance to the British Government, the Scottish
patriot, who never accepted the union of the
two Kingdoms, responded: 81 would die to serve
my country, but would not do an ignoble ac-
tion to save it,"
"A gentleman crossing narrow bridge,
said to a countryman whom he met 81 think
this narrow causeway must be very dangerous,
my honest friend; pray, are not people lost
here sometimes ?" "Lost no, sir, I never knew
anybody lost here in my life; there were seve-
raj drowned, but they were all found again."

The COLUMBIA PosroFFrcE. I'm the United
States Senate, on the last day of the session,
Senator Robertson succeeded in carrying
through an amendment appropriating $4,000
for the erection of Postofice at Columbia S.
G. This was the only amendment adopted by
the Senate out of the one hundred and fifty
amendments which were offered the night be-
fore the adjournment The Washington Patriot
gives the following report of the remarks made
relative to the appropriation:
Mr.. Robertson moved an amendment appro-
priating S65O0O for the erection of United
States postofice building at Columbia, S. @.
Mr. Salisbury expressed his surprise that
Southern senators, who were so constantly ar
raigning the communities which they professed
to represent should offer anything for their
benefit
Mr.. Robertson said the assertion that he had
ever said anything derogatory to the commune
ty he represented was false. Sensation.
Mr.. Salisbury did not mean any personal al
lusion.
Mr.. Cole moved to lay the amendment on
the table, which was not agreed to-ayes Z,

Firearms and WhiskeY.

There is no doubt but that the carrying o.
firearms has led to consequences of the most
fatal nature, even when they were not absolute
ly necessary for ones protection, but which
were, under the heat of excitement and anger
used prematurely, and often without any real
cause. Pistols, even in the hands of the most
cool and even tempered, are really dangerous
We are all more or less given to flashes of an
ger, and it is known fact, that few men, when
in anger, are cognizant of their actions, but
will, under the spur of the moment, do that
which may cause them regret and sorrow for
ever afterwards.
Whiskey, too, is another dangerous rival to
the law, and to mans peace and welfare. Ii
deprives us of health and wealth, and 80 de-
moralizes our moral and intellectual natures
that we lose all regard for selfrespect and self
government and gradually slide into a condi-
ton more deplorable and depraved than the
dumb brute.
z And vet these two great evils, firearms about
the person, and whiskey in the brain, are often
found together. No wonder we 30 often hear
of atrocious shooting affrays, nearly every one
of which can be traced to the carrying Of pfs'
tols and drinking Of rum. There 10 hardly .
community, bat what, like ours, has had o
striking and lamentable veri6cation of this
fact. Jeremiah Bailey, who was recently exc
cuted for murder, at New Madrid, Mo-, made
q speech upon the scafold, which coming from
a man standing upon the brink Of an unknown
world, should cause every young man addicted
to Incorporate habits, to stop and consider, ere
he allows himself to be swept further down
ward towards the great whirling vortex Of deg
radiation and ruin. He said:
IT am young man, and am dying but for
what? will tell you, and want my words
sounded until they ring into the ears of every
young man in America, that it was the carry
ing Of firearms and the drinking of whiskey
that has caused this ignominious ending to
what once promised to be useful and happy
life"
For the sake of heaven and our common hu-
manity, let us strive to do away with these two
great evils, or if we find the task too hercu-
lean one, let US endeavor to disconnect the
two, for by SO doing we will do away with a
great part of the evil arising from the two
combined. Let those who think they cannot
let whiskey alone, never carry frearm, and
those who will persist in carrying them, never,
oh never touch drop of intoxicating liquor.
The union of these two habits is manifestly
incompatible with personal safety and longevi-
ty. Let us take the counsel of poor Bailey,
who, in the awful presence of an angered God,
told us never to carry q irearm, or TO drink q
drop of that which at the last biteth like q
serpent and stingeth like an adder.

eHow BLESSINGS BRIGHTEN AS THEY TAKE
THEIR FL1GHT"-Our attention was directed
few days ago by one of our merchants to a five
dollar bill on the York PENN National Bank
On its back was written sentence which called
vividly to mind the above quotation. 1t seems
to have. passed through the hands of some un-
fortunate spendthrift, who, when too late, be-
came sensible of the folly of his. course, and in
medtating upon it, thus expressed the theme
of his thoughts ''This is the last of fortune
of seven thousand dollars, left me by my good,
old father, that 1 have spent since the surren-
der. D. c." The poor fellow, no doubt,
parted with this last sad memento with feelings
Ear different from those experienced in the out
set of his career. What useful lesson to
young men just entering life with q patrimony
of few thousand dollars. Seven thousand
dollars seems to many an inexhaustibe sum,
while the bitter experience Of Others has taught
them that it is an amount much easier parted
with thanaaccumuated-e specially after habits
of Incidence, dissipation and reckless extrava-
gance have been acquired.-Air Line Eagle

Judge c., of Memphis, was recently
called to preside as chairman at public meet
ing in that city. During the proceedings an
exciting discussion sprung up, and amid the
confusion of loud speeches, motions and cross
motions, one speaker called out impatiently to
have his motion put to the meeting.
"Has your motion second?" inquired the
chair.
speaker-"Yes, sir; it has fifty seconds, at
least"
Chair-"Then let it have ten more, and the
chair will make minute of it."

DEATH OF BISHOP ANDREw.-The death OF
Bishop Andrew, of the M E. Church South, oc-
CURED in Mobile on the 2Sth of February last.
He was en- route from New Orleans, where he
preached on the Sunday previous, and where
on Tuesday he was paralyzed, and Immediately
returned to Mobile, when his death occurred a
few hours after his arrival He was one of the
most brilliant lights Of Methodism, and among
the most remarkable men of his day and gen.
Grafton The Columbus (Ga. Sun thus briefly
sketches his life:
James Osgood Andrew was born in Elbert
county, Ca, in 1793-hence he was seventy
eight years old at the time of his DEATH He
commenced preaching when he was eighteen
years of age, and entered the ministry in the
South Carolina Conference, which then en-
braced Georgia and Alabama, in 1913, at the
age of twenty. The now venerable DR.. Pierce
the young licentiate for the ministry. DR..
Pierce was eight years the eldest. The deceas-
ed Christian was ordained Bishop in 1882. In
1914, after the division of the Northern and
Southern Methodists, he was continued Bishop
of the Church South, and has been Senior
Bishop since that date. His place of residence
was Summerfeld, Alabama.
An action of his led to the division of the
Methodist Church. He married lady who
owned slaves. At session of the Conference
In New York, Bishop Andrew was requested to
resign by many of the Northern ministers on
this account. The Southern men deeming the
request an insult to them, submitted PROPOSE
tion for q Christian parting and division of
property, which vas accepted. The separation
was effected A year elapsed, and it was found
the North wanted all the property. Suit was
commenced by the South for her share, and
both the Courts below and the Supreme Court
of the United States decided in favor of the
Southern Church 1t was at this time that
Henry Clay, warm friend of Bishop Andrew,
remarked with the spirit of prophesy, that the
Northern fanaticism of that church was the
entering wedge TO the dissolution of the Union.
= The Southern ministers met in Louisville,
KY, in May, 1916, and established the Church
South as distinct from that North. Bishop
andrew presided over the Conference.
