A Hundred Years Ago.

One hundred and ten years ago there
was not single white man in Kentucky,
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. Then what
is the most feurishing part of America
was as little know. as the country
around the mysterious mountains Of the
moon. 1t was not until 1867 that Boone
left his home in North Carolina to be-
come the first settler in Kentucky.
The first pioneers Of Ohio did not settle
until twenty years after this time. A
hundred years ago Canada belonged to
France, and the population did not ex.
cted million and half Of people. A
hundred years ago the great Frederick
of Prussia was performing those grand
exploits which have made him immor-
tai in military annals, and with his lit.
tie army was sustaining single-handed
contest with Russia, Austria and France,
the three great powers of Europe com.
bined.
Washington was a modest Virgin;an
Colonel, and the great event in the his.
tory of the two worlds, in which these
great but dissimilar men took leading
parts, were then scarcely foreshadowed.
A hundred years ago the United States
were the most loyal part o, the British
Empire, and on which, within score
of years after, was established the great
republic of the world. A hundred years
ago there were but four newspapers in
America. Steam engines had not en-
tered into the remotest conception of
man. When we come to look at it
through the vista Of history, we fad
that to the century just passed has been
allotted more important events, in their
bearing upon the happiness Of the
world, than almost any other which has
elapsed since the creation.

Thank God some of US have an old.
fathioned mother. Not woman Of the
period, enameled and painted, with her
great chignon, her curls and hustle,
whose white jeweled hands have never
felt the clasp OF baby fingers; but a
dear, old-tashioned, sweetvoiced moth.
er, with eyes in whose clear depths the
love- light shone, and brown hair, thread
ed with silver, lying smooth upon hei
faded cheek. Those dear hands, worn
with toll, gently guided our tottering
steps in childhood, and smoothed our
pillow in sickness, even reaching out to
US in yearning tenderness when her
sweet spirit was baptized in the pearly
spirit Of the river.
Blessed is the memory of an old.fash-
Toned mother. 1t floats to US now like
the beautiful perfume of some woodland
blossoms. The music of other voices
may be lost, but the enhancing memory
Other faces will fade away and be for
gotten, but hers will shine on until the
light from Heavens portals shall gloriiy
our own. When in the fitful pauses of
busy life our feet wander back to the
old homestead, and crossing the we'll
worn threshold, stand once more in the
low, quaint room, SO hallowed by her
presence, now the feeling Of childish
innocence and dependence comes over
US, and we kneel down to the molten
sunshine, streaming through the west
ern window-just where long years ago
We knelt by our mothers knee lispiug
"Our Father" How many times, when
the tempter lured US on, the memory of
those sacred hours, that mothers words,
her faith and prayers, saved US from
plunging into the deep abyss of sin |
Years have filed great drifts between
her and US, but they have not hidden
from our sight the glory of her pure,
unselfish love. ST..

Cards are suspected of having partici-
pated ir the deliberations Of good
many American juries, and of having
performed an important part in deter.
mining their verdicts; but it remained
for Paris under the Commune to furnish
case Of an officer to decide with the
assistance of the pasteboards whether q
man should live or die. Such an incl
dent came to light during the trial Of
CASTOR Dacosta by oourt-martial at
Versailles. Dacosta was private secre-
tary to Rigault, the bloodthirsty Prefect
Of Police. The prisoner claimed that
his had only been ministerial function
in the outrages perpetrated by his chief;
that he had only signed the bloody de.
crees by order of his superior. II ap.
peared, however, that Dacosta sat at the
right Of Rigault when the hostages we're
condemned to death, and one witness
swore that during this terrible massacre
Rigault and Dacosta played . pleasant
little game of ecarte with the life Of one
Of the hostages for stake-just to
make the game interesting, of course.
After tiis development, it will not ex.
cite very great surprise that the court
martial found Dacosta guilty and sen.
fenced him to death.

Drinking wine lie habit; 30 is drink.
ing spirits, ale, cider, coffee and water.
The last is thought necessity; but to
drink much is q habit. Some people
drink little-not because their consti-
tutions require less than others; it 10
their habit. These people never per-
spire 80 much as those who drink more.
The more that is drunk, the more water
passes away, or the system would suffer.
As it is, the strain affects it. The skin,
the kidneys, bowels, lungs, all are
drawn upon. The result is, as may be
naturally expected, exhaustion. For
this reason, the man who drinks much
water, particularly during the summer
and in the hottest weather, is less able
to endure fatigue. The water is of no
benefit to him-that is, the excess. It
must pass away, and this requires an
effort Of the system, which is the sweat
ing process. Had he not used the excess
of water, he would not have perspired
90; it would not have been there for
the system TO expel. It is nabit to
drink water 90 much; a false thirst is
created. We should drink only what
is needed. The habit Of drinking more
will soon he overcome, and the person
will feel much stronger and more capa-
BILE of bearing fatigue. In winter, little
fluid is needed beyond what our food
furnishes in summer, some more but
not much. Country Gentleman.

BURKEvILLE, VA,
September &c, 1872. !

september 70, 1917.
To the Editor of Tie State Journal!
have just returned from trip through
the counties of Dinwiddie, Brunswick
Nottoway, Cumberland and Amelia, and
as to political affairs, can safely say the
regular Republican ticket will receive a
heavier vote than ever polled in those
counties before. A Conservative meeting
was held in the courthouse, at Brunswick
on Monday, 23rd inst, and was addressed
by Capt. Mckinney Conservative elector)
and +. X. Harris. | was informed that
Capt. Mckinney declined dividing time
with the Republican elector (Ion. Ross
Hamilton) and both he and Harris made
very vindictive speeches, the most uncom-
promising have heard since the war.
Hon. Ross Hamilton and Senator G. w.
Graham addressed the Republicans in the
courtyard in telling speeches, advocating
the claims of U. s. Grant, Wilson, and
Stowell, and were loudly cheered by the
audience, with one single exception.
"Aunt Joe Humphreys was there, and
was terribly anxious to advocate Porter's
claims, finally took the stand, and was al
most Kissed down for advocating tue bolter.
He was replied to by Senator Graham and
Mr.. Hamilton in short, decisive speeches,
which made "Aunty" look decidedly bad !;
and as only one Porter man could be found
in the county, the six loud cheers for Grant,
Wilson and Stowell before adjourning,
can easily be accounted for.
Captain VIM. l.. Fernald met Porter at
Olive Church, in Dinwiddie county, the
same day, and literally skinned and tanned
him on his record in q mastery speech.
The sight was said to be the most ludicrous
of the campaign. Porter and his friends
are entirely forsaken in Dinwiddie, and
from what could see, Grant, Wilson and
Stowell are good for all but about twenty
of the entire Republican vote. | found
Major A. j. Terry laundering away in
Cumberland for the regular ticket, well
backed by Mr.. G. J. Malord, and by their
untiring efforts the foundation of sand"
is sliding so fast from under the "Hon.
Charles" that few days more will finally
redeem Cumberland from the bolter's
clutches. Indeed, Major Terry did noble
work in Nottoway and Prince Edward for
our ticket, and by his untiring energy and
ability as canvasser, has won hosts Of
friends in our district. He dislikes Porter
as steady drink. Nottoway is all for the
straight ticket, and Amelia is more than
half for Grant, Wilson and Stowell.
Colonel Stowell addressed meeting at
Amelia G. II. yesterday, and his speech
was pronounced second to none made this
year on the Southside, by numbers of the
audience. He has steadily won his way on
in the affections of the people, and will
sweep the district by rousing majority in
November.
| also noticed on my trip that fruit has
been usually abundant in these counties,
and the tobacco crop is the finest | have
ever seen in the State. Corn is looking
very well, and in Brunswick the cotton
crop is fair. w.

Substitute for the Ku-Llux Order.

Washington, Sept. 2G.-The officers who
were sent to the Southern states by the De-
partment Of Justice, to examine into the
condition of affairs and to detect any organ
ized attempt to violate the revenue laws and
enforcement act, have submitted voluminous
reports to the Attorney General.
From these it appears that the Ku-klux
order IS giving away to a new organization,
similar to tie former in many respects,
but having different mode of accomplish
ing the same ends. This new organization
is spreading rapidly through all the South
ern States, and IS intended TO be made very
effectual for Greeley during the present
campaign by intimidating voters in locali-
ties where the Republican element is not
in the ascendant.
The order has established lodges in near
ly every county in Mississippi, Alabama,
and Georgia, and is rapidly extending itself
to other States. Several officers Of the
government succeeded in getting initiated
into the order and observing fully its work.

steps to PREVENTS plans from being success
