From the Atlanta Constitution

We have just returned from a sum

We have come to the conclusion

We were ever Ill; but We don't know

UNEQUAL TAXATION.

1t is a generally accepted fact that
the burdens of taxation are not
equitably distributed-that the peo-
pie of moderate means pay far more
in proportion than is paid by the
wealthy. In a recent number of the
Medical World, published at Phila-
delphia, we find an article bearing
upon this question, from which we
quote as follows:
eyes, the poor mustpay the taxes;
and, it seems, bear all other burdens.
We saw last month how indirect
taxes bear chiefly on the poor; those
who have read, eff Christ came to
Chicago" see how the owners of
those immense buildings and other
valuable real estate in Chicago,

His Love Never Fails.

From the New York Herald.
The mercy of the Lord is from ever
lasting to everlasting Psalms,
eli II.
We have very seldom referred in
these sermons to the terrors con
nected with theology, because we
cOuraged rather than threatened.
Ii u preacher can make virtue at
tractive he need have little to say
about the consequences of vice.
If the preacher can so depict the
happiness OF heaven that his hearers
turn their faces in that direction he
! need never utter a word about the
other locality.
When the beauty of holiness is
recognized love of harmful pleasures
will be displaced and the appetite for
them destroyed.
1t is a larger and better work to
teach men to do good for goodness
sake than to menace them with
nameless torment if they fail to keep
| the law.
Moreover, d careful study Of
human nature reveals the curious
| fact that tear of future punishment
isl not an operative motive in the
religious life of the majority.
There is more power for good in
one paragraph concerning the love
of God than in a whole blazing chap.
| ter on His wrath. There is actually
| more spiritual influence in q picture
| of the Man of Sorrows placing His
| finger tips on the blind peasant
eyes than in the most vivid descriI :
toD of an angry God that ever fell
| from human lips.
For these reasons we have dwelt
more on heaven and heavenly things
than on the forked lightning of
wrath. There are so many men and
women to be lifted up from the
slough of despond; SO many whose
heavy burdens can be lightened by
pointing to the dear Father whose
| everlasting arm may be their stay
and their support; so many whose
eyes are dimmed with the tears of
! bereavement and whose hearts will
be made lighter if they can catch a
glimpse OF the Celestial City, where
| their loved ones await their coming ;
| so many who are tried and tempted
almost beyond endurance, but who

of kindly sympathy. They are to be
| found in every nook and corner of
the earth. Shall you not lift up your
voice to tell them, one and all, that
thorny paths are all roads to heaven;
that Providence has neither forgot
ten nor neglected them; that God
| and the angels are not afar off, and
| will come with healing in their
| wings" for all the SORROWS and trials
and troubles of earth?
Because we do7this, do we fail to
recognize the facts of punishment or
the seemingly inexorable law of
retribution? Is it not true that the
larger number of US know by hard
experience that penalty and guilt
| are effect and cause, while only the
smaller number have actual personal
knowledge of Gods love and pity?
Punishment? Alasl it abounds
everywhere. Who has not been
stung by it? No one can ignore it,
and no one can evade it. One shud-
ders to think how much punishment
there is on the earth, what wretched-
ness and suffering prevail on account

Chorus of 1000 Voices.

i here will be some chorus singing
at the Tristan Endeavor Conven-

5000 singers from Boston and the
surrounding towns who will com

chorus Boston has known since the
days of the Peace Jubilee. 1t is
likely that no convention has ever
had such inspiring music. The sing
ers have been selected with some
care, and include many teachers and
choir singers. As it would be impos

fail to see them. There isn't n way
fariDg soul on the planet who does
not recognize in his own life the dire
full effects of broken laws. We do
not need to be told that vice brings
misery, for we are ourselves an
object lesson illustrating that fact.
But we do need to be told again and
again. until we are convinced of the
glorious truth, that there is weeping
in the upper world on our account;
that the hosts of heaven are sOlici-
tous about our welfare; that God
loves us with fathomless love and
pities us ''even as father pitieth his
children" and that there isn't a
constellation in the sky that would
not shine with brighter glow if we
would turn our faces from the dark
ness toward the day.
The most solemn fact in this world
is that men and women feel friend
less. They know that they are pay
ing penalties, but they do not know
that the great God has any interest
in them, or in what they are doing
and resisting and suffering The
| mex Orable nature of consequences
! they are forced to recognize, but the
truth of providential love is as
| unreal to their spiritual conscious
I ness as the figures that wander in
| dreamlaDd. This may be a bold
sta tement. but if you analyZe your
own feelings and by introspection
explore your own inner beirg you

most of all? The thunder of Sinai
or the gentle sayings of FIN who
preached to the multitude on the
stone or shall we whisper into
wondering ears the words of hope
and love, "He shall give His angels
charge concerning thee?' Shall it
be stern danunciation or the voice of
sympathy and brotherly kindness ?
Shall we call attention to roaring
clouds or to the rainbow with which
the e nervous sun spans the firma-
| ment?
Look at the long procession that
is slowly marching to the grave
There are bowed heads and broken
hearts and soiled consciences. God
help them, we pray, for we know lie
pities them. If there is a word Of
encouragement, let us say it; if we
can do anything to cheer, let US do
it; if we can calm the troubled soul,
or point the erring to the paths
which make for peace, in the name OF
he dear Lord, who walked through
Via Dolorosa to Calvary out of in
finite love for US, let us open OuI
arms and take IA wicked world TIC

HOME PRODUCTION.
Our Farmers Should Raise Their Own
Meat and Stock
From the Wilmington Messenger.

Meat and Stock
From the Wilmington Messenger
The people-the farmers ought to
grow very proud of beef, mutton and
hog meat they consume at home in
the wear and make some also for
market Last year North Carolina
showed marked Improvement in hog
raising, but it was not half done
North Carolina in fact ought to
raise three or four times as much
pork as it does. With plenty OF
bread and meat-hog and hominy-
bacon and greens, there can be no
lack of food, no complaining fathers
and husba nds because of empty
stomachs and no fire ami tow dis
plays around the tireside or a table
over scant supply and DISSATISFIED
appetites.
The point is to raise Your hog
meat and at the very est possible
advantage. The Messenger has
given examples in this dir, elton from
Virginia. Georgia and South Caro-
lima. The best table meat for the
family is not the round, fat hogs,
/ The hogs in the past. The hams of
| tOothsome and are the best thought
of hy those of epicurean tastes
But what is the best, the surest
way to realize we'll rom hog raising?
! Is it to keep hogs II year or fifteen
months or two years and let them
eat their heads off more than twice
make them cost in feeding what they
would sell for in market? To ask
! that is to answer it. No calculating,
observant farmer or hog raiser will
do that. 1t is an act of financial
suicide. What then? Let us draw
our answer from the greatest news
paper in Georgia-the Atlanta Con
stitution. 1t says pertinently and
practically:
"The great trouble with the hog
| raisers in Georgia is that they are
following in the footsteps of their
fathers. They keep the hog until he
eats off his head before they make
bacon out OF him.
The hog raisers OF the West have
demonstrated the fact that the most
money can be made by killing hogs
not over six months old. They
select good, rapid-growing breeds o
hogs, then push them rapidly and
market them. Many of cur farmers
keep hogs until they are two or three
years old, running the risk of losing

READ the vigorous protest of
Justice Walter Clark against the
decision of the majority OF the
Supreme Court with reference to the
assignment act. The conclusion OF
the majority is, in effect, that any
law, however Objectionable it may be
and however much fraud may have
been practiced in connection with it,
is valid and Of full force if it bears
the signatures of the speakers OF the
two Houses of the Legislature. This
is a dangerous precedent and is an
incentive to futher rascality, such as
was resorted tc in securing the sig
natures to the assignment act. We
are glad that the Democratic mem
bers of the mon partisan judiciary"
solemnly protest against this invita-
ton to commit high-handed fraud.

Each House OF the Legislature
