ssGUESSING SCHEMES.o
Papers May Continue to Advertise the
Guessing Scheme for the Soldiers

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Oct. IA.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. IA.
Mr.. ". 9. STRoNACH, SECRETARY OF THE
CONFEDERATE VETERANS ASSOCIATION,
RALEIGH, n. O.
MY DEAR SIR:-1 have your letter of
the 10th instant, responding to mine of
the 7th. relating TO the plan that you
had adopted for the purpose of raising
means to build a home for ex-Confeder-
ate soldiers.
Your telegram asking ne to rule upon
the question as to whether q guessing
contest" to assist in the erection of the
hoase could be advertised in newspaper
without rendering the latter unmai!able
under the lottery act was about the first
question of the kind that came to Us Not
realizing the extent to which the ques-
ton would become applicable all
over the country, | gave that haSty
railing, which | may say, however, l
still believe to be a fair construction
Of the letter of the statute But so
many applications from various news
papers reached me that [ deemed it wise
to refer the whoie question to the Attor-
ney General, that we might have rul-
lES up III IL iiOA JIG ulSuSSt LAW OluCoE
of the Government. Hence, the ques-
tion III all its phases was sent to the
Department Of Justice few days ago.
No decision thereon has yet reached u.s.
| In the meantime | have stated to all
newspapers that apply for ruling that
they might continue to publish all such
advertisements unmulested until the
opinion Of the Attorney General shall be
received Believing that the object you
have 10 view is one Of the most merito-
rious that has been brought to my atten-
ton, now suggest that you can contin-
ue to use the columns Of newspapers fol
your advertisements until the opinion 1e
ferred 10 shall be made. [, Of course
n~ve no knowledge as to wben We vii
receive Is.
have written to the postmaster a
Raleigh to this effrct, and you are al lib
erty to confer with him on the subj ct
hope cid your scheme no h4rm
and assure you that am now ready t
give you the same opportunity to g
your plan before tle public that we ar
disposed to extend to the managers Q
any similar enterprise, CT t tht publish
er Of any new spaper containing guessing
schemes II The Attorney General hold
that these schemes may be advertise
without violating the iaw,you, OF course
will not be interf5-eI with; il, however
!, as be is likely to do, he shall hold tha
they can only be advertised in violatio
Of the law, will give you prompt motto
Of it.

Epoch

The transition from long, lingering
and painful sickness TO robust health
marks an epoch in the life of the indi-
vidual. Such a remarkable event is
treasured IN the memory, and the agency
whereby the good health has been at
tanned is greatfully blessed. Hence it is
that SO much is heard in praise Of Elec-
trio BitterS. So many feel they owe
their restoration to health, to the use of
the Great Alternative and Tonic. If you
are troubled with any disease of the Kid
neys, Liver or Stomach, of long or short
standing, you will surely find relief by
use of Electric Bitters. Sold at SOC. and

Drugstore.

 Never realizing, as believe, the fearful odds against him, believing that he would find the village Ion the run" and that be- tween himself and. Reno he could "double them upn in short order, Custer had jaun- tily trotted dow to his death. It was g long five-mile run from where he sighted the northern end of the village to where he struck its center around that bold point of bluff, and from the start to the moment his guidons .whirled into view and his troopers came galloping 'front into line" down near the ford, he never fairly saw the great village-never dreamed of it's depth and extent. Rounding the bluff, he suddenly found himself face to face with thousands of the boldest and most skillfull warriors of the prairies. He had hoped to charge at once into the heart of the village,

Almighty and eternal God, our heavenly father, we come from thee at the first, and we go to thee at the last. Thou art the disposer of our days and the appointer of our lot. Thou settest our bounds that we cannot pass; and, gathered before thee now, we humbly recognize thy infinite power, thy measureless wisdom and thy transcendent and sovereign grace. We lift up our hearts before thee in. grateful ac- knowledgment, oh Godl that thou art not merely the disposer of our days and the appointer of our lot, but our friend and father as well; yea, first of all, thou art our father. These relationships of life which we call by this precious name are tionship in which thou standest to us, our father in heaven.
 We gratefully acknowledge, oh God, our friend, thy grace and mercy to this house hold gathered under the shadow of this roof. We come before thee now recogniz- ing the goodness and mercy of God toward us and toward them. We lift up our hearts to thee in grateful acknowledge ment for this earthly life which has come to it's conclusion. We praise thee for all the way in which thou didst lead thy ser want, our brother and our friend, during these days of his earthly pilgrimage. We thank thee that thou didst see fit thus to prolong his years and add day to day, month to month, to count up the sum thou didst permit him here to complete. We bless thee for the kindly and watchful providence by which thou hast led him through all the pathway of his earth ly story; and though thou hast from time to time caused him to drink of some bit ter cup, and made him to taste of some of the great disappointments and some of the bitterest trials which are appointed to us here in this world, yet that thou didst not forsake him, and thou didst not suffer his heart to despair; thou vast always present by thine aid and by thy supporting grace, and thou didst beget in him the spirit of resignation and trust; yea, beyond this! Of confidence and of joyI making him to feel that all that thou doest is wise and well,

2 = and that thou dost not willingly aflict or grieve the children of men, but like as a father pitieth his children, so thou dost have compassion upon those that put their trust in thee.
 We praise thee for all the illustration he was enabled to give of the power and suf- fciency of the gospel of Christ to give strength in life's struggles, to give cheer in Ife's trials, and to give peace and hope and assurance as life hears it's close.
 We bless thee for these things in his death. We thank thee that that work of grace, begun so long ago in his heart, thou didst carry on to visible and increasing perfection as the years went by. We bless thee for all the kindness thou didst enable him to manifest toward those who were associated with him in ife-the patience, the love, the fatherly and the constant care which he manifested toward those who were knit to him by those ten der ties; and we bless thee that it was per- smitted to some of them, in their turn, with loving fidelity to watch over and minister to his declining years. And now, as thou hast as we believe called thy ser want unto myself, and unto those who had gone before him and were watching and waiting upon the other side, we desire with one heart to praise and bless thee as the fulfller of thy promises and thy covenant with him in days gone by And now let thy blessing rest upon this circle of friends, this diminished and mar | rowing group who remain behind. The l Lord comfort them and bless them, and speak unto them words of cheer and hope. | Let not their hearts be cast down or be in trouble May they believe the sweet | promises which have been realized in the experience of so many they have loved and which have received fresh illustration in these days just gone. And do thou in years to come attend them by thy blessing and grant that the peace of God, whicl passeth understanding, may keep then l in thy rest continually.
 Let thy blessing rest upon the church ot | Christ, of which our brother was mem Der and an office bearer; and oh, grant that in days to come, as in days gone by thy favor may abide with this. companion ship, and more and more tho blessing O God may be poured out upon these house holds and the children in generations t. come.
 Bless all who are gathered here under
 heath this roof to-day to express thei
 sympathy with those whaTemain and thei | respect for him who is zone. The Lort I grant these promises may be realized unt
 us, and that we may be made partakers 0
 the same hope and trust and blessing il
 Jesus Christ; and grant that, through tn
 infinite providence and grace of God, W
 may be led onward in that pathway whicl
 shall at last gather us with the great com
 pany who are washed from their sins an
 made white in the blood of the lamb, an
 who shall ascribe the praise of their salve
 ton unto him who loved them and die
 for them.
 And now may the blessings of God A
 mighty, father, son and holy ghost res
 upon you and remain with you all forever
