SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES

They Commend the Former General
Manager of the Seaboard Airline

the incident of The Change, but He
Prefers Not to Talk--But the Letters
Are Given to the Public.
Mr. John II. Winder arrived from
Baltimore Sunday, and yesterday he
left for Norfolk.
lie was asked for an interview, and
gave to the News and Observer this
statement:
II greatly dislike to say anything for
publication at any time, but in view of
the fact that SO much interest is mani
tested by the public in the matter, !
think it due it that the facts be given
ms they actually exist. ] received no
communication from the president or
the vice-president advising me Of the
proposed action, but on the 18th inst,
| was advised by "a director of one of
the roads that he had had an interview
with the president in which the latter
said the committee of the boards OF dl-
rectors would not confirm his appoint
ment of me as general manager, the
reason being that there was non-co-
operation and non-support of the man
agement by me, and that / was out OF
place when wanted, and saying they
did not propose to give any notice OF
their proposed action, but it | would
voluntarily resign it would relieve
the situation.
Il Immediately went To Baltimore
and requested an interview with the
president. 1t was accorded me,
though he said he saw no good result
to come from it. demanded anoppor-
tunity TO deny before the committee
any charges made, declaring them
false so far as | was concerned. /
then demanded that the charges be
withdrawn.
s'He then denied that there were
any charges, and gave me two letters.
The first is as follows:

The murderer who, at dead of night,
creeps, stealthily out to bury the dead and
mangled body of his victim inspires men
with horror and dread. There is murderer
abroad who yearly Stays one-sixth Of all the
human race who go down to untimely deaths
This dread monster is called consumption.
The approach of consumption is slow and
insidious First there is slight disorder
of the digestion. The appetite is poor and
the nourishing properties of the food are not
properly assiinilated. The blood becomes
thin and impure. The body begins to starve.
Old tissues of the body are not properly re-
placed by new The lung tissues are not
properly nourished and are inert and half
dead. In this condition they offer good
soil for the germs of consumption which
invade and attack them.
This operation is promptly reversed by
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. 1t
invigorates the digestion and appetite and
makes assimilation perfect. It builds up
and purifes the blood. 1t makes new and
healthy tissue to replace the old, inert mat
ter which it causes to be carried off 1t
drives out all disease-germs. Thousands of
cases given up as hopeless have been cured.
Miss Laura Piersel, of East Bethlehem Wash
ington Co., Pa, writes IL must write you tel
ling you of the great benefit derived from the use
of your Golden Medical Discovery Last sum.
1ner my friends thought was surely going into
consumption, and having tried doctors with no
satisfactory results and hearing your medicite so
highly spoken Of l took one bottle. My cough
left me together with all the distressing synp-
toms, and in fact the cure seemed almost mirac-
nlous to all who saw me-"

sugar-coated granules that are an unfailing
and permanent cure for constipation.

When the World Is Free.

Far through the future shines the golden age
OF brotherhood. A new humanity,
Foretold by prophet, poet, saint and sage,
Will work together when the world is free.
Then science and religion will join hands
And follow nature to divinity.
Then strife will cease between united lands
And peace will prosper when the world is
free.
Then those who toll will be the ones who own.
The slave no longer then will bow the knee.
The king will then be driven from his throne.
The people regnant, when the world is free.
Then greed and poverty will pass away,
And all will share true prosperity.
The god of Mammon, with his feet Of clay,
Will be demolished when the world is free.
Then will be little law. The golden rule
Will be enthroned the law of equity.
The priest will vanish, with his creed and
school,
And truth will flourish when the world is
free.
Then will be happy homes and happy men,
And happy women freed from slavery,
And happy children. All that dark has been
Will be forgotten when the world is free.
Oh, when the world is freel. Transcendent
time!
The golden age of Dreams the years to bel
From better unto better men will climb
Until the highest when the world is free

Yet now, yet now that hour is drawing near
pause reluctant, finding you 80 dear.
All joys await me in the realm of God.
Must you, my comrade, molder in the sod2

Your prisoner, yet obedience you gave
To all my earnest wishes and commands.
Now to the worm / leave those willing hands
That toiled for me or held the boolss read;
Those feet that trod where 'er wished to tread
Those arms that clasped my dear ones and the
breast
On which one loved and loving heart found
rest;
Those lips through which my prayers to God
have risen
Those eyes that were the windows to my
prison
From these, all these, Deaths Angel bids me
sever.

With Joy that only the freed soul can know,
Yet in my spirit wanderings trust

Weed and Rose.

A little weed grew at the foot Of rose.
And they both breathed the soft summer air,
But the little weed sighed as it looked at the
rose,
For the rose was SO tall and SO fair.
At sunset the little weed tremblingly spoke
And told Of its love to the rose,
But the rose did not hear, for the language Of
weeds
Is q language a weed only knows.
Then the little weed wept, washed the fair
roses feet,
And the rose was refreshed for the night.
The songs Of the morning birds opened hei
heart,
And she lifted her head to the light
And taller she grew, and her green leavel
spread wide
Till they shut out the sunlight and air.
So the little weed died at the foot of the rose,
And the rose never knew it was there

Beyond.

Beyond the crimson and the gold,
Beyond all things both new and old,
Beyond the sunsets flashing light,
Beyond the stars that sparkle bright
Is natures power.
Beyond the false, beyond the true,
Beyond mans power to construe.
Beyond all hope and clean desire,
Beyond the music In the air
Ring memory's bells.
Beyond all loss or sordid gain,
Beyond the turmoil and the pain,
Beyond lament and falling tears,
Beyond mistakes of misspent years
Fate's molding power.
Beyond the first, beyond the last,
Beyond the milestones Of the past,
Beyond the old love and the new,
Beyond the debts time owes to you
Is loves lament.
Beyond the ebbing Of the tide,
Beyond the oceans that divide,
Beyond the lights along the shore.
Beyond the logbook's written score
Is safety's harbor.
Beyond all passion, pain ard strife,
Beyond disorders that are rife,
Beyond the cypress and the pine,
Beyond the battle swell fought line
Is victory's banner.
Beyond the pearly gates that shine,
Beyond the light that seems divine,
Beyond the tint that nature paints,
Beyond the passing Of the saints
Times revelation.
