The above article from the Duluth
News Tribune of recent date very fairly
states the case by explaining that the
opinions concerning Cook county ore
are undoubtedly influenced in a large
degree by the interests of the person
giving the information, We venture to
say that all statements which give as
fact that all ore in Cook county is titanic
are made by those interested in other
ranges.
No honest han who has examined the
Gun Flint ranges can claim that the
ore there contains titanium, the fact is
that there are two distinctly separate
ranges, one in which the ore carries no
titanium and in the other it does, the
johnson company 10 working on the
latter.
OF the quantity OF ore on the Gun
Flint range there may be doubt ex-
pressed as it has never been proven, but
OF tho quality there is no doubt, it would
seem as though these men who receive
their salary IN part for keeping this
country back would express doubts as
to quantity for atpresent that could not
be proven. Any one desiring to get con-
WINGED as to quality has only to 20 there,
get a piece of ore and have it assayed.

In conclusion, | will add as my
humble opinion that the people Of the
South, and especially of our own Caro-
lima, should speak the name Of Timrod
with pride. We should familiarize
ourselves with his life and works, and
ever associate him with the great pro-
moters Of the "Lost Cause, y for surely
his war poems, how stirring in those
unsettled days, must have fred the
bosom of many Southerner with a
burning patriotism and filed his soul
with an unconquerable desire to right
his wrongs in the only way then pos
sible, on the battle field.
When South Carolina erects the pro-
posed memorial to the memory Of
Henry Timrod she will honor herself
by thus honoring this son of genius.

What Think Ye Of Christ !

'Thc charge is pretty frequently
made by agnostics, free thinkers and

and large proportion Of the leading
public men are either infdels or rapid

Herald, and in order to "test the
truth Of this charge" that paper re-
Gently sent to the President, members
Of the Cabinet, Supreme Court, United
States Senate, commanders Of the
army and navy governors Of the vari-
Gus States, the following questions ::
I. Are you friend Of Christianity? !?
II. Do you believe that Christianity
is the friend Of mankind?
III. Does your belief extend to the
recognition Of the Supreme Being, to
the Divinity of Christ, to the surpass-
ing potency of Christianity as civil
izing influence?
Hundreds Of replies were received
and all were in the affirmative. Many
Of them have the positive ring Of the
true metal and many are Of a hesitat-
ing nature. Some Of the Senators
failed to answer and some Of the gov
ernors failed to answer. This failure,
if intentional, can only be taken to
mean that they dare not say no to
any Of the questions, and this, more
than anything else, goes to prove what
force they recognize the Christian
religion to be.
President Mckinley replied My
belief embraces the Divinity Of Christ
and the recognition Of Christianity as
the mightiest factcr in the world S
civilization.
1t is the custom Of the members Of
the Supreme Court to decline to an
swer questions of any kind but all
the same Chief Justice Fuller declar-
ed, II am friend to Christianity. y
Hon. George Shiras said, II am a
Christian, Of course. The other
members of the Court refused to be
interviewed; but the Christian Herald
thinks that all of them are Christians.

Yes

Christianity is very rare thing even
in the Churches, and he would be a

ence of the Christian religion upon

1t is an unusual sight to see men weep,
but as we pressed forward to grasp the
Admiral's hand every one of us was
blubbering. l did not hear Of a single
man that left the camp that night to
go West to continue the fight, but
next day every name on our roster and
muster rolls was handed in for paroles.
II took several days to issue these,
and received mine on the 5th of May,
1865, and Immediately started South.
not, however, until I had paid my re-
spects to the Admiral, who, on my
leaving him, made me promise if I
ever came to Mobile to hunt him up.
The next time [ met him was in Mo-
bile that fall, where he had opened a
law Office in connection with his sons,
and was enjoying lucrative practice.
Although Admiral Semmes's name
was submitted to Gen. Sherman along
with the others for parole, and with
full knowledge Of all that had been
charged against him, Gen. Sherman
included him and gave him parole,
guaranteeing him the full protection
of the United States Government so
long as he obeyed the laws in force
where he resided. Shortly after his
return to his home in Mobile, Ma, he
was taken from his home at night and
carried to prison, where he languished
for, several months, and from which
he ~ss released without explanation,
and without being confronted with any
charges. All Of which was in direct
violation Of Uncle Sans parole, a

lection to his citizens.
