Chronicle. of PhiIetus phiIoIirus

In the reign Of the great King Grover, there
was q certain husbandman who had been
much land, and many herds OF cattle, swine
and sheep; he had also many bonds OF the
realm, and much gold and silver. And 1t
came TO pass that this great mans end drew
nigh, and he said unto himself: ~ wot not
but my time has come to die; I have been
greatly prospered; yea, verify, have accu.
mulated great wealth, and now shall leave
it in the Kings name, that be may build unto
me an exceedingly great house, and have
much land adjoined thereto, and 1t shall be
for the learning of other husbandmen's sons
in the manner OF tilling the soil, that they
may be able, when they have come to mans
in the small villages OF this great kingdom,
and thereby be made famous and gather to.
gether great riches"
And Il came to pass that this good husband
man died, and was gathered unto his fathers
and the news thereof, and Of the great wealth
he had left in the Kings name, spread into
many cities; yea, even unto that far city,
Washington.
Now. there was a certain kinsman of his
who dwelt in this distant city, but with whom
he had not brake bread In many years, and
whose name was Go-Lee-iah. Now. Go-Lee,
iah had daughter who was knswoman o
one of the greatest Lords of the land In the
reign of the mighty Washington. When Go
Leeiah heard Of the death OF his kinsmau In
the distant city, he spoke and said "Tho'
have much sickness upon me, and have not
brake bread with my kinsman In an exceed.
Ing long time, yet will grid up my loins and
go hence, that may gather some Of his great
wealth unto my Golfers"
Now when he was come into the husband
mans country and found that he had lett al
his riches in the Kings name, for the build
ing Of place of learning, he was exceeding
wroth, and said:
"Wo is me! did not my kinsman know
that my daughter was descended from the
mighty Lord c.; and yet lie left her not a
shekei? will hasten me unto the Court o.
Justice"
And lie went and came unto the High
Priest, and said: "The wealth that my kins
man left in the Kings name, for the building
of place of learning is not sufficient even foI
the providing Of yoke OF fatted steers fol
the drawing of saw-logs to the mill for lum
Der wherewlth to build; pray you give II
me, or my daughter, who Is near kin TO the
great Lord c., and the blessings OF the
people will follow thee"
And the High Priest listed unto Go-Lee-iah
and when he was done, spoke and SAID: "Oh
fool Know ye not that the wisdom Of the
greatest men will be centered on this great
school, and that many wise men shall gel
their learning there? What are yours OF
your daughters claims in comparison TO such
an institution? Go hence!
And Go-Lee-iah went his way sorrowfully
and with much murmuring.

The A6beuille Medium struck note which
was generally responded to when it attack ed
the prevalent and increasing habit OF bleed

methods. The evil lesults Of the persecution
OF the candidates are not confined TO the can.

decreasing the supply of available official
quenty there Is much that is commendable In
the desire for Office. Political ambition Is as
honorable as any other and the man who
asks for position In the public service by
which he may earn honest bread Is doing an
entirely proper thing.
The prevailing tendency Is to make the
path 10 Office as hard and disasreeabe as pos.
sible and thereby to shut poor and sensitive
men out OF political life entirely.

The express and baggage car Of the
Cincinnati, Indianapolis, st. Louis,
and Chicago Railway was boarded by
robbers on the night of June 8. They
shot the baggage master, Ketcham, in
four places; the express agent, Zim-
norman, escaped hurt, though the
robbers fired as many as fifteen shots.
The engineer and fireman probably
killed one that climbed upon the ten
der. Four men who could not satis-
factorily explain their actions have
been arrested. Ketcham died June 8,

gence.
BOSTON, June 6.-Helen Keller Is.
the name of the seven-year-old child
who can neither see, hear nor speak,
and who is in all respects as great a
wonder as the world-famous Laura
Bridgeman. The girl is now in this
city, having come to attend the COM
mencement exercises at the Perkins
School for the Blind, which, found
ed by DR.. Samuel G.. Howe, deceased
husband of Mrs. Julia Ward Howe.
Although deprived Of all her most inn
portant senses, she has been brought
by the agency of the blind alphabet
into surprisingly keen appreciation
of the things above her. She Is the
daughter of Arthur 81, and Kate Kel-l
Ter, and was born June q, 1880, In
Tuscumbia, Ala. Her father was
formely editor of the North american
and he is now United States Marshal
for the Northern District of Alabama.
His mother was great-g randdaughter
of Alex. Spetswood, first Colonial
Governor Of Virginia, and she was
also second cousin to General Robert
E. Lee.
When little Helen was nineteen
months old an illness resulted In the
total loss of sight and hearing. She
had been all unusually bright and ac-
tive child and was fast learning to;
talk when she was taken sick. She
soon ceased to talk because she heard
no sound, but as her physical strength
returned she began to exhibit wonder
full aptitude for learning everything
about her household. She learned to
distinguish the different members of
the family through her sense of touch,
and her parents decided to place her In
charge of the Perkins Institution, In
city, in the hope that her terrible con-
dition might in some measure be amel-
iorated. Miss Annie M. Sullivan, her-
self graduate of the school, was sent
to Tuscumbia in March, 1887. She
taugh Helen the fipger alphabet Of the
blindand after days Of patient work was
rewarded by seeing her pupil exhibit
unmistakable signs ofintelligence. Her
sense of touth being so acute, Helen
was able after awhile to comprehend
the purpose and shape of objects round
about her. An object could he given
to her and after examining it carefully
with her fingers the name Of the OBJ
ject would be communicated to her by;
the finger alphabet.
By the end of August, 1887, she
knew 626 words and almost as many
objects. After this she learned toread
after the fashion of the blind by means
of raised letters and then to write.
These processes were of course intense,
ly laborious to pupil and teacher
alike, and only the gentleness and
perseverance of both could have won
success. Her knowledge of arithmetic
is equally remarkable and she takes
extreme pleasure in feeding domestic
animals and learning their habits and
use. Her power of imitation isstrong-.
ly developed. Her memory is reten-
tive and her curiosity is Unsuitable.

Let us Have n Fair Race.
IFron, the anderson Journal

There Is an uprising all over the State
against levying church contributions foI
public Office. 1t is wrong in principal every
way you look at 1t. 1t is nothing more MOI
less than an offer tosel the votes OF church
members indirectly. and 1t opens q way fol
candidates TO buy their way into Office. We
hope no subscription lists will be presented
TO the candidates in Anderson County this
year, and If such is done we trust the severa
candidates have the manhood to refuse.
