Past her sufferings, past her pain
Cease TO weep, for tears are vain,
Calm the tumult of thy breast,
For she who suffered In at rest.
How often has that sweet tongue
Put thoughts of grief aside,
But now our hopes are blighted
Since our dear Mollie died.

cure the nominatiou-which politicians
regard, with reference to him, only as
a very remote possibility-but to form
a combination of enough votes to con-

come when twenty or thirty votes could

1fr. Editor: The farmers of this section are
preparing for another crop, and from the
way euano is being hauled, think there
will be big crop Of cotton planted. One
more year like we managed last year, would
set us straight There will be very little
corn and bacon to buy here this year, but IT
we plant big cotton crop and neglect our
corn crop, we will have it to buy another
year. Then we will be in as bad fix as we
we're in previous 10 last year.

Letter from Heriot's K Roads.
McD. F.

Some time since l promised to write you
something about the fever which has been
affecting this region for several years. After
careful inquiry am satisfied in nv own
miud that it is largely, if not entirely, due
to the drinking water. | think 1t WAS IN
1892. that the heavy rains filled up number
of ponds or savannahs-some ten or twelve
or more--commeucin near the Gross Roads
and running through the Colclough plan'a-
ton. They have held water ever since and
are full now Some of them are very ctten-
sive, particularly about sunset. This water
has been gradually sinking into the earth
with all of its poisonous impurities, until all
the streams uader the earth are polluted.
There is not enough money power IN the
community to draiu them without help and
the fever is here to stay until something can
be done. One reason why | say it is not
a, atmospheric, is that cold seems 10 have no
etfec, upon it and when one has been afflicted
once-he is continually subject to relapse
without any special cause. | have known
persons to relapse four or FIVE times. Jas. b.
Heriott who lives within one half mile of the
cross road aud nearhe first pond on the pub
lie road, has had sick family all the year.
He has two driven pumps on his premises,
but they are not deep enough 10 go beyond
surface water. There are cases of fever now
| ~ oror +bo conntrv hnt the cases are not
as fatal as they have bean.

HUNGER is AN ANARCHIST
Rabbi Voorsanger Lectures on
Workingmen and
IdleneSS.
He Believes Cities Should Establish
Schools of Industry in Self.
Protection.

Rabbi Voorsanger delivered lecture at
the Temple Emmanuel last night on
"The Moral and Social Relations of Work
ingmen."
Without announcing any radical views
or making any specific attack on existing
institutions the speaker took the broad
ground that the workingmen of this coun-
try are as moral and patriotic a class as
any other in the country.
''There have been three great revolu-
tions affecting society in modern times
the German revolution of the fifteenth
century and the French and American
revolutions of the eighteenth century.
''The result of these great revolutions
was the destruction of classes and the
opening of opportunities for the masses,
and since these revolutions ability rather
than birth has been the test of mem right
to advancement. In this age brain rather
than birth gives men the right to promo
ton.
''In the great republic of usefulness, :"
said the speaker, ''Drains may raise the
humble shopkeeper to the position of
king, and the only aristocracy now is that
of mind"
The speaker argued that the chief solu-
ton of industrial troubles and social evils
must be sought In wider ethical and
general education. "If the moral tone
and mental ability of the masses FAIL"
said he, there will be general trouble.
There must be culture and there ought to
be schools for the education of the idle
and vicious in cities, places that are open
nights as an opposition to places of vice.
The education of the masses is our safety.
There is no greater anarchist than hun
ger and no greater teacher of nihilism
than idIenessn
