SAM J0NES'S REPLY.
Comes Back at DR.. Massey in His
Own Peculiar Style.

ATLANTA, Ga, Dec. 6.-Rev. Sam
Jones replies to Parson Massey's
letter as follows: 81 see he says he
will not5charge me with SANDER in
what I had written of him. Rev.
Mr.: Massey is a gentleman, a
scholar and a Christian. He is a
magnificent debater. He has the
respect, love, and confidence of
every man, woman, and child in
Virginia. Now he can't say I
haven't slandered him.
"I thought the old thing was
dead (discussionally) and buried.
The fact that he lives is proof of
the grand doctrine of the resur-
rection of the dead. He was GER
tainly sown in corruption. I trust
he has been raised III interruption.
He was sown in dishonor and l
trust raised in honor.
"Talk about misstatements. If
I had sat upon the platform dur
ing the discussion and swallowed
two whopping lies like be did on
the day of his and Sam small's
discussion I would let mistakes on
the part of other gentlemen pass
by unnoticed. His lie was so ridi-
culous on Sam Small that Sam
told him that minister Of the Cos
pei that would tell such a lie on,a
brother minister was not fit to hang
on the back door of hell"

His Wit Saved Him.

Although it is familiar saying
that an Irishman is always spoil
ing for fight, still there is one
kind of fgh ting to which even the
brave sons of Erin are sometimes
averse-that is duelling. The fol-
lowing story we'll illustrates this
fact.
A certain Irishmaa, having been
challenged to fight "a duel, accept
ted the conditions after much per-
suasion on the part of his friends,
who felt confident of success. His
antagonist, a lame man, walked on
crutches.
When the place for the shooting
had been reached, the lame mans
seconds asked that he be allowed
to lear against a milestone which
happened to be there. The privi-
lego was allowed, and the lame
man took his stand.
The Irishman and his seconds
drew off to the distance agreed
upon-one hundred feet. Here
Pats courage suddenly failed him,
and be shouted to the lame man:
GIVE q small favor to ask of ye,
sor."
"What is it2" asked the cripple.
Pat answered:
81 told ye thot ye might lean
agin the milepost, and now I would
the privilege of leaning agin the
next one."
The laughter which followed
spoiled everybody's desire for a
fight. and the whole party went
home without a shot being fired.

SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY,

EDIBILITY OF ANTs.-The formic
acid of ants is said to impart to
them an agreeable flavor. An en-
tomologist recollects when himself
and boy companions relished a
"lemon de" of crushed ants mixed
with sugar and water; and cor;
respondent of Insect Life refers to
a man who is in the habit of eat
ing large black ants from rotten
wood. Another man traced to little
red ants pleasant acid taste of a
piece of pie eaten il the dark.
DUALITY OF THE MIND.-The
idea is held by DR.. B. W. Richard
son that the two lobes of the cere-
brum give every person two dis
tinct brains; and that any congre-
CATION of human beings must be
reckoned at twice it's individual
number before its mental constitu-
tion and strength can be properly
appraised. The two brains are
never exactly balanced. They
sometimes work together, some
times diversely; and when one is
disordered there may be tendencies
to insanity: with lucid intervals if
the other is sound. Complete
change of personality may result
from weakening the stronger or
strengthening the weaker.
GLASS BRIcKs.-Experiments
with glass building bricks were be-
gun in 1891 by M. Falconier, all
architest of Lyons. These bricks
are hollow, being blown like bot
ties, and are given forms-such as
cubes, hexagons, etc.,-that per-
NIT of ready laying. A bitumin-
Gus cement, with base of asphalt,
is used with them. The bricks
serve as double windows, giving
protection against both cold and
heat; they are good insulators of
humidity and noise; and they lend
themselves readily to the decora-
tion % buildings either by their

Every man has a religion.
Would that every man had a Christ.
Be right with God, and it will
not take much to make you happy.
Many a mans religion boiled
down, would be found to be- moth
ing more than notion.
1t will not help your own crop
any to throw stones at your neigh
boris truck patch.
No one can have a deep trust in
God who does not read his word by
the help of the spirit.
If noise was religion Chinese

holiest places on earth.
The trial that God sends us is
always a blessing, whether we
know it at the time or not.
1t is about as wise to sit on a
limb of a tree, and saw it off as to
worry about things we cannot help.
Tendency forecasts destiny. A
tree leaning east never falls west.
A tree not only lies as it falls, but
it falls as it leans.
A besetting sin is like the flaw

posed spot in which Satan lodges

armor of God.

RECEIVING THE GUESTS.

RECEIVING THE GUESTS.
Before the special train on the
Port Royal road from Columbia
via, the South Bound, had arrived
at the union depot the committee
of directors of the Augusta Ex-
position Company had all the
legislators decorated with the
badge of distinction that entitled
them to the freedom and the
courtesies of the Exposition.
at the depot they were met by
the officers and directors of the
Exposition Company, and headed
by the Exposition band were es-
corted to Broadway and from there
cars took them to the Exposition
In the Music Hall a crowd gathered
to hear the words of welcome and
the hearty response. On the stage
were Lieutenant Governor E. B.
Gary, Hon. Ira Jones, Speaker
of the House Maj. w. T. Gary
and President Patrick Walsh
besides a large gathering of the
senators and representatives
After selections by the band
President Walsh received the
visitors in few words and IN.

delivered the address of welcome
Mr.. Walsh said:
Ladies and gentlemen, Lieuten-
ant Governor, and Gentlemen OF
the General Assembly Of South
Carolina: AS President of the
Augusta Exposition Company, it
is my pleasing duty to welcome
you to the city of Augusta and

BLEEDING BREAD.-Considerable
dismay was caused in England
during the recent hot weather by
the appearance of blood stains in
bread, and also in boiled potatoes,
rice, and other farinaceous SUBJ
stances. In superstltious times,
this somewhat rare phenomenon
was regarded as miracle, but mod
ern science has shown that it is
due to the growth of a microscopic
plant. The true explanation of the
terrifying blotches was first point
ed out by a Paduan naturalist in
1919. The same production was
seen near Berlin in 1S4S, at Rouen
by DR.. Camille Montague in the
same year, and was first recorded
in Britain in 1858. About 1885 an
epidemic visitation on the Cont
nent was attributed to this source.
Carmine-red patches. capable of
staining the fingers, appeared on
cooked meat during the n; hit, and
various articles of food wer. SINH
larly affected until after about
three months, the epidemic sud-
denly ceased on the advent of a
lower temperature.
VOLCANOES OF THE U. Sex
Guiding Alaska, the United States
may be said to be non-volcanic,
states Mr.. Ralph S. Farr, but it
has not been so long. A chain of
volcanoes extends from southern
South America into Mexico, then
there is u large break, and the in
terrupted chain begins again in
Alaska, curves southwark, and
Joins the chain of Japan. The in
termediate non-volcanic area has
just emerged from an area of stu
pendous activity. Future resump-
ton of such activity is not i'm
probable, for in the West are vol
canoes so recent as, like Mt.
Shasta, to retain their conical
form, and some of these perhaps
are no more dormant than was
Vesuvious before the fateful year
10, when it buried Pompeii and
Herculaneum beneath the most
terrible storm Of stones and ashes
ever known to man. In the Canon
of the Colorado, in the deserts of
Nevada and Utah, and in New
Mexico, exist small lava flows that
must have been erupted in recent
years, probably since the white
mans discovery Of the continent.
These seem to record the death
throes of the country's latest vol
canic giants. The eruptlons have
played part in bringing up stores
of metals, and the richest mines
are found in the volcanic districts
of Tertiary times.
