his time and trouble in reading the

the check it is needless to say anything.
Another admirer wrote to him the 9TH

Two Prodigals.

one that got back and the other that did
not get back. In Richmond there is a
very prosperous and beautiful home in
many respects A young man wandered
off from thu' home. He wandered very
far into sin. They heard of him after,
but he was always ON the wrong track.
He would not go home. At the door Of
that beautiful home one night there was
a great outcry. The young man of the
house ran down to open the door to see
what was the matter. Ii was midnight.
The rest of the family were asleep.

THE SEABOARD AIR LINE.

1t Was Bought for New York Syndi-
cate With the Understanding That
1t Was Not for the Southern-To Be
Operated as an Independent System.
General John Gill, of Baltimore, who
was concerned in the recent purchase
of the Seaboard Air Line, is here at
tending the examination of witnesses
and experts in the case of the Farmers
Loan and Trust Company against the
Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley railway.
A Messenger representative yesterday
asked him if it were true that the sale
had really taken place aud whether the
purchase was made for the Southern
railway, aud he said:
Il purchased for New York syndi-
cate the controlling stock in the Sea-
board and Roanoke road. which con-
trolls the Seaboard Air Line. The pur-
chase was made with the understand
ing and agreement that it was not for
the Southern. The purchase has no
connection whatever with the South
ern. aud the Sea board Air Line will be
operated as an absolutely independent
system, in connection with the Port
Royal and Augusta, and the Port Royal
and Western South Carolina railroads.
As to the management of the Seaboard
Air Line, that is matter for the pur-
chasers to decide upon. w ilminSton

In MemOriam,

In writing OF the life and work OF Mrs
Salle Elizabeth Goodrich, wife of Mr.. J.
Hiram Goodrich, an account of whose
death appeared in the GOLD LEAF of
October 18th, one need hardly fear being
accused by any who knew her of over
estimating her worth. Her piety was
questioned by no one; her self-denyng,
self-sacrficing for Others showed much
of the spirit of Him who came not co be
ministered unto but to minister. Her
faith was inspiring. Her experiences
were much mole than ordinary. The
Master manifested Himself unto her us
He does not unto the world; as He does
not unto an average disciple-indeed as
He cannot to one of less faith and less
devotion.
During the last months of her yet busy
and useful life, though an invalid, one
coming into her presence and hearing
her modestly speak of remarkable rxpe-
riences, seemed to breathe Heavenly at
mosphere and to dwell for the time in
the very borderland. Before the end
came she evidently had passed through
the valley of the shadow of death and
feared no evil. for she went singing on
her way-literally sang songs when she
was too feeble to speak above a whisper.
In all this it was noted that she was
faithful unto death, not shrinking in the
least or dreading. Indeed, she was
faithful into death, and we believe
through death; requesting that nothing
doleful or sad be sung at her funeral.
This was to her an hour OF triumph and
victory.
AS to the usefulness of this unselfish
life let those whose lives have been
cheered, whose hearts have been glad
dened, whose faith has been strength
ened, whose piety has been deepened
speak. 1t seems incredible that one SO
feeble hysicaIly-though at times this
physical weakness seemed strangely
turned into strength-could find SO
many ways to keep up church work, to
be of actual and material assistance to
Others. and to attend to her own bust
ness affairs.
Those who did not know Mrs Good
rich perhaps are ready to say: "This is
a way the world has, praising people
after they are gone" Those who knew
her are ready to say, "The half has not
been told" Much more of truth could
be said. Her modesty would forbid say.
ing this much but for the inspiration it
may be to others.
The husband, children and brothers

But many Others sustain great loss in

A MAN
Does this Apply to You?

The following from an exchange hits
every community: ''Some men take it
as an insult if bill be sent to them.
No matter how long the account may
have run, the moment the creditor
sends bill, the ire Of the person owing
the same explodes. How silly this is.
Why, if business men did not send out
statements, and even in many cases
demand prompt settlements, the bust
ness of this world would soon 60 to the
bow vows. The way to avoid getting
a bill is to pay what you owe in rea-
sonable time. Custom has made Il
reasonable time thirty days. If you
can't pay all, pay what you can. If
you do this you won't receive any
bills''

The DESTROYER OF Life.

stated two years ago that there we're
approximately one million six hundred
thousand persons who use spirits to ex-
cess in the United States. BY excess
mean all persons who drank to in:oxica-
ton continuously or at long intervals.
These figures were reached from study
of the statistics of persons arrested for
intoXication in the lower courts: also the
general opinion of persons with wide
acquaintance among business men, who
assert that less than two per cent. of all
drinking men come under\ legal notice.
OF course, wide differences of opinion
will prevail until some accurate statistics
are made. Two attempts to make "a
census of drinking men in Eastern
towns" revealed many difficulties and
the intensely morbid desire to conceal
the drinking customs OF people. Both of
these censuses indicated one drinking
man to every eight persons and produced
strong conviction that this was n very
low proportion. There are many reas-
ons for believing that the estimate of a
million six hundred thousand persons
who use spirits to excess in this country
is minimum Qaarterly JJur-
mai Of Inebriety.
1t is further estimated that of this
number 100000 die annually As the
vast army OF inebriates shows no signs
OF diminution: the in-roads of death are
made good by fresh recruits drawn from
the ranks OF sobriety, but more especially
from the boyhOod and budding manhood
OF our homes. These figures are appalI-
ing. As Il destroyer of human life the
liquor traffic bears off the palm. War.

idea of having SO little respect for him
