the Atlanta and West Point train stopped
at Opelika they watched their chances and
quickly jumped upon the sleeper. and from

of the coach by stepping upon the brake
wheel.

What is money ?' asks a political organ. The answer is easy. Money is the god of all civilized nations. It is a creation of man, destined to prove his everlasting ruin. For money, man de- serts the God of the universe, forsakes his wife and children, robs his friends and murderers his felowman Tn cold blood. Money wrecks the brain and makes man madman; money controls the destinies of nations; money destroys good government; money wrecks society and is indeed the root of all evil And man, poor imbecile, gives up the pleas ures ot this life to get it, and loses the joys of future life by possessing it, and when he dies he leaves it as legacy to his loved ones, who fight over it's divis- ion.-Exchange.
