ment to act as his private secretary In

tax eater and burden on the people, for
the purpose Of manipulating the negro
voters aud Of the debauchers Of the negro
voters He makes himself useful only
to a small set Of Senator Higgins's party
II Senator Higgins would not do the
things which his private secretary does,
and upquestionably be would not, then
he ought not TO have such private
secretary. The object Of his presence
here Is admitted to be sosndalous, even

local. disreputsble work for a small fac
tion Of his political party here. Senator
Higgins is the only Senator who allow
his private secretary to use his opportuni

r1eIroae Abbey.

Scotland's celebrated ruin, Melrose ao-
boy, was founded in ll96 by David l and
completed in ll46, and dedicated to the Vir-
gin Mary. In 1922 it was destroyed by the
English army of edward II, but it was soon
rebuilt by Robert Bruce in style Of mag
nifcence which ranks it among the most
perfect ecclesiastical constructions IN the
best age Of Gothic architecture. In 1895,
and again in 1915, it suffered at the hands
OF the English armies. and during the Ref
ormation MANY Of its choicest sculptures
were mutliated. In later times many OF
the stones have been taken away 20 use in
other buildings, bat the church remains
and part Of the cloister and choir. These
show plainly the original beauty Of the
building. AS an abbey the history of Mel
rose is but moager. It's first occupants
were CisteTcian monks In its line of alb
botsthere WAS but one saint--St. Waltheof.
King Alexander II was buried within its
walls et his own request. Bruce left IL the
legacy of his heart.
