of 1900 men a little over third

were about 700 in number.
The picture of the heroic block

let in the lungs. ave shall know
better next time But there was
no next time for Braddock. He
was buried in the cehtre Of the
track that for generations was call
ed Braddock's Road, and the
wagons and the artillery were roll
ed over his new-made grave to
obliterate every trace of the spot
where the burly bulldog lay, lest
pursuing Indians should find and
desecrate his corpse.
Ihave ridden over the Alleghanies
200 miles to the south of the old
Cumberland and Fort du Quesne
trail, and been told by mountain
eers, Who could not read or write,
that I was on Braddock's Road, SO
strong is the tradition of that
memorable fight, and none the less
so, perhaps, from the grotesque
displacement of locality. 1t is
said that in his dying hours Brad
dock could not bear the sight of a
red coat, and that with his last
breath he deplored his insults to
the Virginia militia, who under
Washington had covered his re-
treat and lost nearly their whole
number.

Good Lord, Good Devil.

The opinions OF some OF oil

In the course Of the. night he
walked up and began to cry out al
ct the top of his voice, "Good Lord
Good Devil! Good Lord GOOD

and asked him what he was yel-

The Book of Books.

The following extract from a
speech delivered at the laying of
the corner stone of the great
Pythian University Of Gallatin'
Tenn, is a tribute to the inspired
word that is worthy of the man,
the occasion, and The Book of
books:
As the Bible was being placed in
the box w. B. Holmes, of Lebanon,
stepped forward and spoke as fol-
lows: ave stand here to-day in the
MONDAY splendor of the fulfil
ment of Emerson's prophecy, that
the day would soon dawn when
there would be no reason to be
afraid of any knowledge with
which God has enabled man to
equip himself. There is no reason
why we should regard science and
philosophy as an enemy to this
book. They are the Bibles SER
wants going out into their respect
i've fields in quest of truth and,
returning, they lay their trophies
at its feet. The teachings Of this
book are no longer measured by
the standards of science and phil
osophy, but the Bible is the stand
ard by which all truth must be
measured and judged, for it is the
impregnable rock of truth.
The author of this book is the
author of truth. Ono has truly
said, "Truth stands upon the rock
Of ages, it lifts its head above the
clouds, above the stars; it COM
munes with God; it holds sweet
converse with the hierarcbs around
the throne Of the eternal King,
and with those elder sons of light
and with the spirits of the mighty
dead, God spoke apd truth was
born.'

After tremendous mems meet
ing at Waco last night Brother
Sam Jones was thoroughly ex-
hausted, and he felt sick. Brother
Jones is of bilious temperament,
and his sallow complexion tells
plainly that while all is we'll be-
tween Brother Jones and his soul,
there is war between him and his
liver. Brother Jones felt bad at
bedtime and Brother Owens told
him, $50 to God with it, brother /;
he'll straighten you out"
"Take dose of pills." suggested
the reporter; and Brother Jones
followed the advice of Owens and
the reporter, and as a result when
he got up this morning he was all
right and much refreshed.
He said: "Prayer was the thing.
But I must admit that the pills
did much good, and from now on
my prescription for biliousness
will be one prayer and three pills
before bedtime"

Most of the saloon keepers here
say that they will abide by the de-
cision and close their places of
business as soon as they under
stand the situation fully. There is
little doubt that the decision means
just what it says. 1t will be seen
the court goes so far as to order
the prosecution of the man who
instituted the habeas corpus pro-
ceedings before it.
The question is asked if there is
any law for the punishment of
violators section 1874 of the gene
raj statutes imposes a fine of not
less than 5000 or a sentence of
not lss than 6 months in. the
pe1itentiary on all persons who
sell whiskey without license. AZ
the court decides that there is no
power in the State authorizing the
issuing of license, any person sell
ling without license, will be sub
ject to the sentence given.
So far as known, however, there,
is no punishment fer the shipment
of whiskey into the State.
Governor Tillman was asked
today what he intended 10 do
about trying to enforce the prohi-
bition law; he said he would lend
his moral support to it and do all
he could euforce it; but he didn't

He also said that he was glad the
uncertainty about affairs had been
