Ths Rial status OF ihS Cass-what the
Democrats Bluster About the Admlnla-
tratlon Policy Msans.
Charleston Mail; When the Republic
cans came into power last spring they
were aware that Mr.. Chiffon had not yet
made complete settlement and with
official Difference, they allowed him due
time to close up his accounts. When the
Democratic press began to howl about
Thieves" and the like, the board of pub
lie works made a statement OF the
amount yet due the state, and nothing
was withheld. In fact, the records are
public property and any one who desires
has the right to make an investigation.
But, with their usual tactics, the DEM
ocrats have continued to circulate
charges that the Republican state adj
ministration had attempted TO shield Mr.
Chiffon. There was nothing 10 withhold,
The report of the board OF public works
states that the amount due on initial
charter fees, about $4,000. should have
been paid to the auditor. This being
true, Mr.. Chiffon can lidHdate that
amount II he desires, but is not compell-
ed 10 do so. The other $4,000 is indemnl-
fed by bond which by an oversight
was not acknowledged nor properly GER
tilted, Therefore legally speaking, the
bond Is worthless. Such being true, 1t Is
Incumbent upon Mr., Chiltons honor
whether settlement is made or not The
Republican state administration is as
powerless TO enforce the paymept OF the
amount as the weakest subject in the
state.
The Republican officials have done
their duty in making public statement
Of the condition of affairs in the secretary
of states office when the books were
turned over TO Mr., Dawson. They can
do no more Like ourselves they are
not so hide-bound, politically, as 10 Inn
pute dishonest motives TO Mr.. Chiffon.
He has SEATED publicly thar all he desires
is a sufficient amount OF time 10 get his
business affairs in shape and every cent
win be paid. We have faith In Mr., Chill
ton and we know he is making every eff
fort TO settle in full at an early date And
we also know that the present s,ate adj
ministrat!on is doing everything within
its power to protect the statea interests,
In few words, all this bluster is Moth
Ing but a Democratic scheme to injure
Governor Atkinson and dethrone Mr..
Chiffon.

The word Joyous lis the keynote TO
the epistle. 81 rejoice" My Joy" Re
jolce ye." Strange that letter fairly
trimming with felicity should have been
written by Il prisoner whose chance of
justice diminished as Nero drirted from
Seneca to Poppea. Generous Burrus
was dead The hired house was ex-
changed for the pretorian barracks.
Martyrdom became increasingly prob
able. But the apostles Joy, instead OF
diminishing, actually augmented. -. :.
The secret of this joy Is in the complete
ness OF Paul's devotion TO the cause and
person OF Jesus He had substantial
evidence of the thorough charac-
ter Of the church he had established at
Phllippi in three donations and the visit
of its pastor, Epaphroditus He found,
also, that the things that were happen
ing TO him in Rome were falling out to
the furtherance rather than the hinder
Ing of the gospel. 4 so TO one to whom
Christ and life were synonyms, there
we're causes Of JOY entirely outwelghing
those Of grief and fear. The churches
planted, thrived and converts were
making even In Caesars palace. :. :.
Again, the example of Christ inspired
the apostle. The superlative instance OF
seTf-abnegatton was in him who was
not tenacious OF his divine honors, but
let loose of them TO such an extent as I'd
appear in human form, as a serving
man, and TO die even the slave-like
death Of the cross. The via Dolorosa
has no terrors for Paul. since Jesus has
trodden 1t. He will take that way also
II II be for the honor Of his Master and
the good Of his fellows And having imi-

forcefully call the Philippians to the

and serviceful. Paul also has in
view the browning Chrlsts humill-
alton was followed by an eXaltation, so

they suffer with him, they shall reign
with him. Prlson-wall can not hide
from the apostle the crown which the
righteous Judge will give him In that
day.

If an act ever was constitutional Just

Morgan county has more land had at
