Every State IN the South now under
Republican control is either utterly
bankrupted or on the verge of ruin,
while those States which threw off Res
publican rule since 1870, or never were
captured by that party through the re-
construction machinery, are compara>
lively prosperous. Compare the condi
ton of Georgia, Tennessee, Virginia,
Missouri and Kentucky with South Car
DINA, Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkan-
sas. Read their history TOR the past
eight years, and then say which party
most nearly carries out its professions
of devotion to law, order, and honesty in
public administration
If Tennessee had gone on as she was
going in 1861 she would now owe

the real people of the Sta te got control
of affairs and stOpped-as Dibrell puts it
the "shoveiing out Of State bonds to

agement had proceeded till now, there
would be no quarreling over the fund
ing law. Our bonds would not have been
worth ten cents a bushel; and it would
have mattered little what tax might be
levied, as no body would be able to pay

Not on Civil Rights alone, but on near

Maynard been a studiOus and persistent
misrepresentation Of Tennessee in Con-
gress. From the day he entered the

more faithful or industrious servant,
Looking back over his long career, and
his steady labOrs for the interests of his
native section against those Of his adopt,

all carpet. baggers Certainly he left
New England for New England good,

misrepresenting an agricultural ttate.

MY CREED.
By rnEODoRE rIIros.


(The following poem, first pub
lished about seven years ago, has a
melancholy interest now 1t Is a
creed at once beautiful, pure and no
bic y
As other men have creeds, so have /
mine .r
/ keep the holy faith in God, in man,
Aud in the angels ministering be-
tween /; .4-
1 hold to one true church of all true
souls,
Whose churchly seal is neither bread
- nor wine, '
Nor laying on Of hand, nor holy oil.
But only the amounting of Gods
grace.
/ hate all kings, and caste, and rank
OF birth
For all the sons Of man are sons of
God,
Nor lin limpS a beggar but is nObly
Nor wears a slave yoke car a
crown,
That makes him less or more than a
man.
1 love my country and her righteous
cause . ....
So dare / not keep silent Of her sin /;
And after freedom may her bells ring
peace. Z, rtt n
/ love one woman with a holy fire. !
Whom 1 revere as priestess Of my
house.
I stand with wondering awe before
my babes,
Till they rebuke me to a noble life;
l keep faithful friendship with my
friend,
Whom Loyalty / serve before myself; /;
| lock my lips too clsse to speak lie,
1 wash my hands too white to touch
a bribe: rr
/ owe no man a debt / can not pay,
Save only OF the love men ought to
owe.
Withal, each day, before the blessed
heaven.
l open wide the chambers ofmy soul
Aud pray the Holy Ghost to enter in.
That reads the fair confession OF my
faith,
SO crossed with contradictions of my
life,
That now may God forgive tie writ
ten lie.
Yet still by help of Him who helpetL
men.
l face two worlds, and fear not life
nor death.
o Father, lead me by the hand.
Amen.

rhE VINE QUESTION.
BY Z. p. BuTHwELL.

In the fr.t place those 900
Rabies belong 10 a sect and
10 a nation who believe and
teach that Christ was an i'm
postor, who believe and teach
the story of the brihed soldiers ,
that the disciples came by
night and stole the body of
Jesus while they slept, "and
this saving is commonly re
ported among the Jews until
this day Now what could be
more natural than for those
Jews who claim that Christ
was an impOstOr, than for them
TO explain away The miracle of
turning water into VII e, on
the theory that there were a
lot oI chopped raisins in those
waterpots, and all The Savior
did, was 10 pour in The water
and draw off the steep, thus
making il no miracle at all
Why those jews would go as
far 10 get rid OF Chrisl's mira

wine. Again, suppose for the
sake of the argument that the
Rabbies are correct in regard
to that mode OF making vine
of raisins; what does it prove9
1t simply proves what | have
claimed all The time, to wit:
that they knew no way by
which they could keep the
juice of The grape without fer
mentaiion. But this was not
the kind of wine which the
Savior referred to when he
said @No man putteth new
wine into old bottles II was
not the kind of WINE that he
referred to when he said, "no
man after having drank old
VINE siraiehtway desireih new,

not for drinking this kind oI
wine that the Jews called the
Savior a wlneb'bber. It was
not this kind of wine that
Isaiah meant when he said
GAnd in this mountain shall
the Lord of hosts m AXE unto all
people a feast Of fat things, q
feast of wine on the lees; oil
fat things iull of marrow, ol

/ will admit that there are sew
eral kinds Of wine spoken OF
in the Bible, among which are
new wine, old wine, sweet wine,
sour wine, strong wine, mixed
wine, red wine. etc. And it
was a common custom to have
more than one kind Of wine at
fessts. "Every man at the be-
ginning doth set forth good
wine, and when men are we'll
drunk then that which is worse;
but thou has kept the good
wine until now. John 2: 10
This text shows two things, that
1t was a universal custom to
have wine &C feasts, and also
that it was acustom 10 have
more than one kind OF wine.
| wonder if that worse kind
spoken of was a production
of the devils
On the day Of peptecost the
Jews accused the disciples oi
being drunk on new wine, so
that the term new wine IN
those days did not always
mean unlermented wine, but
in their answer the disciples
did not deny being in the hab
it of drinking wine, as they
no doubt would have done if
theypracticed total abstinence.
hut they merely SAID, "we are
not drunk as ye suppose seeing
IT IS but the third hour of the
day." 1t was common then,
and is now, 10 make two and
sometime three kinds or grades
Of wine out Of the same grapes;
thus, when the grapes are
mashed that juice which runs
IF OF IFS own accord IS kept TO
itself, as it contains more grape
sugar and less acid, IL makes
The pest wine. Then The grapes
are pressed moderately and
that juice will make mIddling
good wine; then they are sub
miIIed 10 a very hard pressure
and this last juice will make
an In eriOr wine, such as was
probably used towards The
close of the least when men
we're well drunk. Red wine Is
made of dark colored grapes
usually iermented partially on
the husk; though white wine
can be, and sometimes is made
Of the first run of the black
grapes. What Mr.. Biggs said
about the manner of making
red and white vine is correct.
The same practice is still in
common use, but what he said
about their keeping the wine
in an unfermenied state is un.
true. and he can not prove The
assertion, from the Bible or
any other reliable source nor
by experiment, other than by
the canning process which is
modern invention. II wine
can be thus kept, why do not
some of The advocates Of that
theory demonstrate the tsct by

few men who believed in arti

of whom have shown their
faith by spending considerable
labor and money IN trying 70

experiment. II those men really
believe that wine can be kepI
without fermentation, why do
they not show their faith by
their works and demonstrate
the TACT by experiment. Fol

may have been, and 20 doubt
were used during the vintage
