WAS THE DoUBTER HoNEsT?-De-
spite all the studied consistency with
which Colonel Ingersoll questioned the
generally accepted authorities on the
immortality of the soul and other
tenets of the Christian faith, there
were few CONSPICUOUS departures on
his part from that line of disputatious
doctrine. Notable among these ex-
ceptions to his life rule were occasions
when he was called upon to say the
final words of comfort to those who
mourned departed dear ones.
All Christendom noted with especial
interest and surprise Colonel IngersolPs
Grafton, about 20 years ago, beside the
bier of bis brother. The gifted orator
said, in his closing sentence on that
occasion
"Hope sees beyond shining star;
faith hears in the darkness the rustic
of an angels wing.
Again, at the funeral of Walt Whit
man, "the good, gray poet" at Cam
den, in 1892, one of Colonel Ingersoll's
most impressive utterances, as he look
ed upon the reposeful features of the
dead poet was: "Old friend, we two
shall meet again We know that
after all life is death, and that out of
death comes much of that we call
life."
But it was beside the open grave of
a dear friends little child that Colonel
Ingersoll's most significant question as
to Immortality was propounded, thus:
"Who knows but the evening of this
little life may yet resolve itself some
where else into glorious, golden dawn
of Immortality ?"-Philadelphia Re-
cord.

TEETH AND FOOD.

James Knight in his Food and 1t,
Functions" says in substance, in speak
ing of the alimentation of old age, that
the disappearance of teeth in advanced
wears indicates a change in the food
taken, since the stomach can no longer
endure the strong food Of former days.
The period of decline is characterized
by several organic changes. The muscles
lose their tone, and this occurs not only
in the voluntary muscles, but also IN
the coats of the intestines, giving rise to
special disturbances. This want of tone
affects also the blood vessels and the
circulation generally, while the digest
i've system becomes weaker, and the
mental powers share in the decreasing
vitality. For healthy old age the body
should be lean and spare, like that of
schoolboy, the fat and rich foods being
reduced in quantity, animal foods re-
stricted, one-fourth less or more, and
the meals small and often. If the decline
in energy is not met by corresponding
diminution of the demands upon 1t III
the form of digestive activity, the result
is sure to be accumulation of fat and re-
tarded and even retrograde metabolism,
producing gout and rheumatism. In ad-
vancing age the food consumed should
approach that of youth, and in second
childhood return be made to bread
and milk at the short intervals of early
days.

STANDARD COTTON TARIFFS.
Railroad Commission Makes Big Reduc-
ton In Rates.

Railroad Commission Makes Big Reduc-
tion In Rates.
The State, Thursday.
The state railroad commission yes
terday made public its new standard
tariff of cotton freight rates, which be-
comes effective August 25. The tariff
provides for reduction of from 25 to
35 per cent. on the present rate, which
was established when the state was
producing not more than 4OO,OO bales
of cotton.
Starting out with a rate of 6 cents
for hauls of 10 miles and under, the
tariff increases five miles at time, the
rate increasing with it one cent at each
jump up to 100 miles. The mileage
then jumps by tens up to 200, the 95-
to. 100 rate being 25 cents, increasing
one cent for each jump until the 200
mark is reached, that being the same
as 170.to.18O rate-34 cents. Beyond
200 miles the mileage jumps are 20 at
a time and the rate increases cent for
each 20 miles, the final 200-to-320 rate
being 40 cents.
This is said to be the lowest local
cotton freight tariff of any now in op-
GRAFTON in the United States. 1t was
prepared and adopted by the commits
sion only after thorough study of the
question and after numerous hearings
accorded the railroad traffic managers.
The new rate will mean much to the
farming and the cotton mill interests.

LET The WAR STOP.
Hoke Smith Gives Utterances to Some
Sound Sentiments.

Sound Sentiments.
Ex-Secretary of the Interior Hoke
Smith was interviewed in Washington
the other day on the subject of the
campaign in the Philippines and said
"Nine-tenths of the people in our
section are opposed to continuing the
war. The. sentiment all over the
south, 1 believe, is overwhelmingly
against trying to retain the islands.
The Filipinos are fighting for liberty
in the same way that we did 100 years
ago, and the American people are al
ready sick and tired of the slaughter
going on there.
"I am not in favor of having our
troops leave the islands with an armed
force lined up against them, but that
would not be necessary. If we would
avow our intention of leaving the is
lands to the natives and abandoning
our attempt at sovereignty the fight
ing would stop at once. Then after
we had assisted in establishing a gov
ernment, if the natives so wished, our
troops could properly be withdrawn.
If the next presidential campaign
were to be waged solely on the issue
of continuing the war, the opposition
candidate would carry the country"
1t was suggested that the insurrec-
ton might be put down in the mean
time. The word "insurrection" seems
to displease Mr.. Smith, who replied:
"There isn't any insurrection. There
is simply an invading army trying to
conquer a spirited people and it will
be impossible, as I believe and hope,
to put them down. We will no SOON
er think we have done it than there
will be another outbreak. President
Mckinley entirely misunderstood the
sentiment of our people on the ques-
ton when he visited the south. He
made a speech in Atlanta before a
great throng, in which he asked the
citizens ifthey wanted to see our SOL
diers turn their backs on the American
