H. Winter that ought 10 DO placed on the
retired list and pensioned literally. He has
been at work for the Georgia road forty
years Feb. l. He arrived in Charleston, S.
c.. in December, 1913. aud on Feb. /, 1S49,
he began work on the Georgia road as q
track hand under his brother, John, be-
tween Union Point and Greensboro. He
worked there seven months, went on a ma
terial train and laid iron several months
He was then made track boss at Crawford
vile: from there he was moved to BUCK
head to fill like position, and in 1853 moved
TO Winterville, where he has remained ever
since in the faithful discharge of duty.
During the whole term of his connection
with the road he has never been discharged
or suspended for a single day, and in all
arbitrary matters coming up against the
road he has always been found supporting
the claims or rights Of the road more
strongly than he would for himself in his
own personal matters The engineers and
other railroad men say that he keeps the
best track that there is on the Georgia rail
road to-day, and all of them seem to think
a great deal Of Uncle Henry, as he Is ia
miliarly known. He is widely known as
one of the most hOspitable men living. He
will be ~ years old next July.

THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY. MARCH IS, 1889.

Capt. Joseph Haddock of Tampa has in
his possession copy of the last speech ever
delivered in the United States by the late
Senator Ben Hill of Georgia. This was ON
Dec. IL, 1881, and was on the SUBJECT OF
civil service reform. II is printed In pam
phlet form for distribution, and bears the
caption: "Beware We of the leaveu or the
Pharisees, which is hypocrisy" The con-
Guiding sentences are Of peculiar interest
just now. and will we'll bear reproduction:
What is the trouble? An, the senator
from Massachusetts told one great trutH.
The trouble at last is with the people Ii
the people would visit thGr condemnation
upon the political party, and upon every
individual of every political party that
thus degrades and debauches the civil ser
vice, the abuses would soon cease. But how
can you expect the people to do 1T when
their leaders do not advise them to do It'll
The remedy at last in q government OF the
people is with the people" Capt. Haddock
knows the whole speech by heart, He
prizes the little pamphlet very highly and
once lost it for q year or two. de was
inconsolable till be found it again. He was
great admirer of the Georgia senator, and
says he intends to hold on to that scrap of
paper till the last trump sounds.
Tarpon Truth: D. P Burden of Sanford
has recently visited the Gulf coast with a
10" w dAOuSlllG I'LL lhbtiCob III bhC ~ wins
OF the maguey plant. Mr.. Burden has in
vented a machine which successfully and
economic ally reduces this plant to strong
fiber. He claims to be able to do this at an
expense of ~ cents per pound. Speci-
mems of the fiber, prepared from plant
growing in farpon Springs, have
been exhibited at that place, and
have excited great interest. Sc 'eral par
| ties along the coast are ready to plant the
maguey as soon as moro is known about
the matter. The plant is no stranger TO
this section. 1t has been growing for years
in door yards along the coast thriftily, and
without especial care, and the cold Of 1886
had no effect upon it. 1t multiplies very
rapidly, and thrifty plants will easily
yield ter pounds of leaves the first year.
With 5000 plants to the acre this repre-
sents yield of $4,000 pounds the first year,
for which Mr.. Burden is willing to pay S.
per ton at the mill. This is a modest esti-
| mata because the plant at Tarpon Springs,
which is year old will readily cut thirty
pounds. Unless something should occur to
materially affect the result Of these calcula-
tions, it is extremely probable that the next
year will see a considerable acreage of
maguey put out in the vicinity of Tarpon
Springs.

WHEN 1T is TOO LATE.
How Much We Do for the Dead We
Might Have Done for the Living.


Might Have Done for the Living.
From Harper's Weekly.
1t is an odd thing that no sooner has
death claimed our friends for his own than
we begin to say and do a multitude of
things of little use at all then in compari-
son to which they might have been had
they come in advance of death. Then out
of hand we flock to the house with offers of
assistance and proffers of friendship; we
rob our gardens and our hot houses and
send cut flowers in .profusioR, and funeral
wreaths and crosses and pillows and anchors
and stars to encumbrance, and do all we
can, though late, to hide and disguise and
sweeten fate. But if we had fiocked to the
house while the dead could have been aware
of it how much pleasure and excitement
and relief from monOtonous or lonesome
hours our sick friends might have enjoyed
when all was a tiresome round of day and
night and medicine and solitude, when a
bunch of flowers brought in would have
brought a light to the dull eyes of joy both
over the Gift and the giver, joy which no
broken column of tuberoses and ivies, costing
small fortunes, can bring to the eyes of the
dead!
Even could we not have been admitted to
the sick room itself, we could have brought
bil6F6 bu0 Ol Lu6 Ouublu6 WOTlu DO
the mere knowledge given to the patient that
we were with in the gates, some break, some
cheer, some good.
Then, too, how profuse we are with our
good words after the ears are stopped with
dust. We do not hesitate then to say ali
that is true, or sven more than true in praise
of the departed. 1t is as if we had suddenly
discovered in the sand jewel fit for kings
to wear; we make an outcry and hold it up
to the light and turn it this way and that
and excinim and marvel and admire and
call on others to do likewise. There is
nothing to say about this person now that
the plsce once filled is vacant. But if we
had Esaid "a tenth of it ell when it might
have boen heard by the living person, of
how much more worth it had been! What
joy and satisfaction it might have given!
The subject of it all might have felt as if
satisfied to leaye life with such apprecia-
ton. But it was not spoken. life went
on without it; and now we regret it, and
do the same thing over with the next
friend.

Enemy of the Human Race.

Strong drink Is q dreadful enemy
OF the human race. 1t has destroyed
thousands in civilized countries where
it has long been in use, but its effects
seem to be still more deadly among the
inhabitants of some lands where it has
recently been introduced. 1t is said
that the traffic in liquor has practi-
cally cut off six-sevenths of the in
habitants Of the Sandwich Islands
within the last century, and the Brit.
ish rum has actually 0bliterated the

which escaped the lips Of Keshub

the warden Of the Sioux Falls peniten-

eighty five convicts in that institution
not one would have been there but for
the rum traffic.
One Of the special journals devoted
to the liquor traffic says that the OBJ.
ject and expectation of the liquor
leagues is to render the position OF
liquor-dealer as reputable "as it is in
Europe" If that be their purpose,
they have undertaken task too great

be as low down, socially, as he now is
in America. But never will that day

LAST summer the proprietor of
large building being erected in Omaha
had large tank filled each morning
with iced oatmeal water for the use Of
workmen during the day. The men
testified that while they worked there
they had no desire for beer or whisky,
the oatmeal water satisfying them,
and they could walk right by saloons
without feeling tempted to enter them.

Women ON the Way to the Gutter end
Destruction.
An intoxicated woman Is, ! think.
the most hideous sight in the world.
She is so repulsive that 1t is almost
impossible to be charitable and pitiful

Yet it would do some women good.

depths toward which they wander.
You. for instance, Bridget, who, good

the fourth makes you sick.

There are beautiful young wives whose
