Southern Questions.

The Jacksonville, Florida, Citizen, hits the nail on the head when it says:
 The issues of the past are now so utterly dead in the south that they have almost passed out of memory and when th=y are called to mind they star tie us like .ehe sudden sight of a tomb stone as we travel a lonely road in the moonlight. Today the business man rules the south, and there are only two questions instead of th@ score that con fronted us a score of years ago. 1t is not usual ito see the fact badly stated in plain print, but it is true, as well as significant, and we may accept it as such The southern questions of today are only two: How can we get mor- business. and How soon can we double our present population? Upon these two hangs the future of the south. To in- crease our business. the first thing es- sential is to develop our resources. Within our boundaries we have every thing that can minister to the necessi- ties of a population fifty-fold that we now have.
 The Age-Herald has printed a great deal on this line all the time. Poli- tics will tak= care of itself, but south ern industries need constant care and watchful attention. The southern peo- pie may be relied upon to maintain good local governments. and with these they are saf-, even when the republicans control national affairs.
 How can we double our business and population; increase the brain power of our people and develop our imperial resources? These are the living quss- tions of the present, and they demand the pest. thought.

At Ocean Springs.

The Rev. N. Keff Smith, focmerly a clergyman of Atlanta, is now resident clergyman of Ocean Springs. He is a man of high standing and well-known conservatism in all things. Whatever he says he believes; and in view of his intelligence and opportunities, his dis patches from Ocean Springs to the A,s- aanta Journal are interesting and trusIt- worthy.
 It is plain from his dbspa tches that Ocean Springs itself Is far from a pan icky condition. There have been few dea ths, and not very many cases of serious illness. Of the thirteen deaths out of 75O cases of illness during the summer, one died from croup, one from laryngitis, one from fecal impaction, one was 80 years old, one had a broken leg, one. 70 years old, died from general de- bility and one had Bright's disease. Mr. Smith asserts, as a matter of personal inquiry and knowledge, there were com plications in the remaining six cases. Surely yellow fever has not been rob bed of it's vigor to this extent.
 The Journals correspondent denies many current statements. For example, the physician that died came from New Orleans in condition bordering on dis solution. The two resident physicians of Ocean Springs are still there, in excel 1ent health, enjoyirg.a large and lucra- tive practice. All of MT. Smiths fam lily, including himself, have had the pre- vailing disease, and they consider their past ailmer:s as "a very strange species of yellow fever" they yielded so readily to treatment. If it was yellow fever, then, in MT. Smiths words, Ocean Springs is the place to have it. Of one thing the Ocean Springs clergyman seemed to be confident-all had one dis ease. If one had yellow fever, all had it; if one had dengue. all had it. But

 Wildly he surveyed the scene before him; great drops of anguish beaded his rugged brow. Then when the horror of 1t all surged over his soul he staggered away and dropped, limp, broken crea- ture, into the nearest chair. buried his face in his hands and groaned aloud.
 And trusted her!' he mu'ttered be- tween closed teeth, "I trusted her! And this is my reward!'
 The silence of the anguished moment which followed was of the kind which scorches and mars the very soul for eternity with it's remorseless, piercing awfulness. The human being who lives through such an instant is Rever again the same-he has passed through Q crisis.

which was earnest and sympathetic.
Dr.. Egbert said: I'VE often think
that death is the greatest mystery we
have, and yet it is less a mystery than
life. The higher we rise the more GER
tain we become that life cannot stop.
There must be completion somewhere.
or else all this wonderful working of
life is a failure Of the most stupendous
character. | believe the time will come
when in the upward growth Of human
intellect and spiritual life we will look
upon death as but the birth of a great
er life; way of passing out of this
school into the great university.
This young man had just begun his
career He was moving upward and
forward intellectually and spiritually
from day to day; all his ties were Joy
full and pleasant. He was looking for
ward to something that was ahead
What strange sort of world it would
be if in such case death could come
in and put a stop to the whole life
and that was the end of it. What an
utter failure of the noblest work of God
we know of! But instead Of that, he
lived, as | hope you all will live, with
that hope ahead that the work here
was part of the everlasting work:
that the thinking and the striving and
the developing of life here are the be-
ginning of an endless life DR.. Egbert
closed with prayer
After the address the quartette choir
sang "Oh, Holy Savior, Friend I'm
