PAT is FOR SILVER.
But He Should Not Have Forgotten to
Say Word For Nuggets.

Col Pat Walsh, editor of the Au-
gusta Chronicle, made a serious omis-
sion in his speech at Southern Pines.
lie covered everything except our gold
mining interests, and Sunday Smith,
of Cabarrus, made big kick about it.
After the speech ne went around
hunting Pat, but couldn't corner him
until, walking the piazza, he looked
into an open window and saw Mr..
Walsh at dinner Sandy climbed into
the window and had Pat where he
couldn't retreat. He dropped four
pound lup of gold on Pats plate with
a rattle that made people look around,
poured a handful of nuggets in Pats
empty glass and placed the plaster
cast of the % pound nugget in front
of the orator. Then Sandy gave Pat
some points on gold and gold mining,
and the result was that Mr.. Walsh
promised to make another speech and
do better.-Charlotte News.

SPANISH RULE IN CUBA.

Washington, May 9.--An elaborate
justification for the attitude of the
Spanish government towards Cuban in
surgents from the highest official
source, namely, the colonial office at
Madrid, has just been made public in
the shape of a pamphlet entitled
Spanish Rule in Cuba" which is being
circulated in diplomatic circles and is
being placed in the hands of interested
public men in Washington.
The purpose of the publication is set
out strongly in these paragraphs from
the introduction: $50 many calumnies
have been hurled at Spain by those
who are interested in the Cuban revolt
and by their sympathizers, that their
refutatiOn has become a duty. The
laws of Cuba show that the legisla-
ton of the island has kept pace with
that of the most advanced nationss
They prove that the judicial institu-
lions of Cuba are equal to those Of the
most enlightened countries and that
the liberties of her inhabitants rival
those of the citizens of the most demo-
cratic nations. Cuba long ago ceased
to be colony. She is now an integral
part of Spain. All Spaniards, be they
born in the peninsula or in Cuba may
say: Where Spain has her flag, there
is SPAIN
The pamphlet, as Indicated in the in
PRODUCTION, is devoted to recapitula-
ton of all of the laws that may have
the remotest connection with the well
fare of the inhabitants of the island
of Cuba and are accompanied by gen
eral statements of the purposes Of each
law and the conditions under which II
came into being. All of the pledges
OF the capitulation at Zanjon, after the
last rebellion, are set out with the de-
clared purpose of showing that the
Spanish government has redeemed to
the letter every pledge made at chat
time, and has even gone far beyond
all requirements of the treaty Of capt.
ulation in liberal reforms.

"THY WORD Is TRUTH. !"


To the. Editor: / desire to express
my hearty endorsement of the article
on 1.-THE Future Life" by Mr.. J. c..
Hundley, of Oxford, n. c., which APP
Deared in these columns a few days
ago. Perhaps few enjoyed it so well
as myself, a fact which can be APP
preciated when / have been deyoting
almost my entire time to disseminat-
ing the very same doctrines, both by
tongue and press.
/ am sorry that Brother Hundley
did not GO further and warn those who
are neglecting present light and OPP
portunities, against expecting a sec
,ond trial for everlasting life. For we
will be judged according to- the light
and advantages now enjoyed. 1t is
better to be on the safe side.
The churches and the world in gen
eral hold very erroneous ideas regard
ing not only the ransom" paid by our
Lord, but also as to future punish
ment, the day Of judgment, the des-
truction of the world, the manner and
object of our Lords second coming,

matters, and who would like the Bible
doctrines on these subjects, / shall be
glad to furnish some, in printed form,

/ am glad to be able to state that
this ''meat in due reason" is relished
by many christians in every State in

TIE SHAKERS IDEAS OF MEDICINE

Nowadays when a man goes to his
doctor, hC is usually told that he has
some unheard Of disease with a long
name, and when ne leaves the Office he
does not know whether it is St. Nitus
dance or consumption that is gradu-
ally undermining his health
1t is therefore refreshing to talk
with the Shakers, for their very sim
plicity commands confidence and re-
spect, and we have the further salts
faction of knowing that they have de-
voted themselves to the study Of dis
ease and it's cure for more than a
hundred years.
The venerable old man whom the
writer saw was only too glad to dis
cuss his pet subject. He said that
strange as it might seem, very few
doctors realized that three-quarters of
the most prevalent diseases were all
attributable to faulty digestion.
He then went on to say that a child
of average intelligence knows that
putrid meat or decaying vegetables
are poisonous, and must be avoided.
and yet these same foods, even if
taken into the stomach in the freshest
possible condition soon decompose UNI
less digested and absorbed.
In such cases the resulting poisons
enter the system, when aches and
pains, weakness and debility soon fol-
low as natural consequence.
1t was recognition of this that led
the Shakers to devote their energies to
the perfection Of a product which
would stimulate the digestive organs
and assist them to perform their pro-
per work.
The first symptom of disordered
digestion is loss Of appetite, and the
Shaker Digestive Cordial is wonder
fully efficient in supplying any def
cheney in this respect, at the same
time it relieves all distress after eat.
ing. Furthermore, as was carefully ex-
planned by our venerable friend, it is
harmless.
Better evidence Of the Shakers con
fdence in it could not be found, than
in the fact that they have placed 10
cent sample BOTTLES in the hands of all
druggists, assured that if once tried
it viii produce such immediate and
marked benefit that il will be con-
tinued.

THE ANGEL OF EyENTlDE.

Thou who dost cover all the land
In silence with thy soul of rest:
flushing with soft and tender hand
Dark swaying pine and twittering nest;
From thy fair, placid. saffron skies
Come gently down with healing flight
And seal with sleep woes weary eyes
Throughout the watches of the night!
Thou upon whom thy pinions fair
Doth bear the sonnds of vesper bells
Upon the holy twilight air,
Ger breezy downs and tlowery dells;
Amidst the loud-tongued. brazen psalm
And silvery songs that sweetly roll
Bring thou heavens healing, perfect calm
To every stricken. weary soul
Thou who upon the quiet graves
Dost calmly spread thy mantle gray;
Bcdew the grass which DER them waves
When kith and kin are far away.
Kiss those who, in the gloom of death.
Through all nights dreary watches
weep:
And whisper with thy healing breath,
HE giveth his beloved sleep!'
Thou who in far-back Hebrew days
Didst smile on Bethlehem's harvest gold
When fair Ruth stood, with wistful gaze
Between the new life and the old,
Deep yearning for the nobler part
Beneath the holy, sapphire skies:
Smile chastely on each maiden's heart,
And fix on Truth her eager eyes!
ThOu who on star-crowned Olivet
Didst leave him in the waning light
Reluctant oft, his fair locks wet
With the cold dews of falling night;
Who oft didst light with kindly sky
His way to sacred Bethany;
Have pity on the weary's sigh,
And lift each lone ones misery!
Thou who, with mystic, tender charm,
Didst bring all weary ones to rest
The folded lambs safe home from harm,
The babe close to it's mothers breast,
The swallows to the sheltering caves,
The lark down to his grassy sod;
Make sweet our dreams which Fancy
weaves.
And leave us in the love of God!

Horrible Torture in Past Ages In.
fiicted by Man Upon Man..

" OpOH V1dus
During the middle ages and. indeed.
down into the last century, torture was
'egularly resOrted to for a variety of
causes, chief among them being relig-
ion. In the early part Of the seventeenth
century we read of a man named Zach
airy Druseman being suspended by the
arms in a torture chamber, while
screws were applied to his feet in such
a tanner as to crush the bones. After
watching him for a while, the judges
went out to supper, leaving him in
charge of the eXecutioner. Druseman
beSought the latter, "by the wounds of
Christ" to let him down, If but for a
single moment, but the officer refused
to do SO except at the judges com
mand. After an hour the judges re-
turned, all of them the worse for liquor.
DruSeman was dead. Little magma
ton is needed to make one shudder at
this story. Satan himself might hest
tate to fill up the gaps of the narrative.
During the struggle between Spain
and the United Netherlands torture
was employed by both parties indiffer-
emily. and became very violent. The
Dutchmen once tied a number of pris-
oners together in pairs and confined
them in a large room. No food was
given them, and in the course of a few
days they were mad with hunger. At
length they began to devour each other.
They were kept in that room until the
last man was dead. Terrible as was the
Spanish inquisition, this affair goes far
to even matters between them and the
Netherlands. Another device of the lat
ter was to strip their victim, and drag
him back wards and forwards on a rope
stretched taut, until he was "a Wn asun'
