GENERAL BRAGG.

This faithful old servant, this eX-
Confederate soldier and unrecOn-
structed rebel; this dyed in-the-
wood Democrat, old in years and
stricken with paralysis lies a help
less bed-ridden invalid.
In the rush Of business will we
forget Old Bragg? In the selfish en-
ioyment of our we'll filled larders,
will we permit him to suffer and
starve? Mol No! The people of
Columbia will not do that. All they
want to know is to whom they must
send their contributions; all that is
needed is an organized, well directed
plan, and Old Bragg's mind will be
put a. rest and the distracting fear
of the poor house need disturb him
no more.
We suggest that the Daughters of
the Confederaey make this special
work that some of them call upon
the old mans friends for contribu-
tions in money, payable by the
month so long as he lives or remains
helpless; and that this fund go not
into their general accounts, but be
set aside as special fund for his
use.
1t is a charity we should all de-
light to participate in; it is debt
we owe the old negro for his loyalty
to the south, to democracy and the
white folks" it is what we who
have known him from our youth up
who have laughed at his idisy ncra-
sizes and played with his humors
have always said we would do, SC
now lets do it with liberal hands
and loving hearts, ungrudgingly
It is no more than Old Bragg would
have done for us, if misfortune haC
come to one of us and better fortune
had favored him.

FOR CONGRESS,

In this issue of the HERALD Sena-
tor L. P. Padgett makes formal au-
thentic announcement of his candi-
dacy for Congress.
To speak of his peculiar fitness for
the place, his ability to discharge
the duties of this office, his loyalty
to Democracy, its principles and or
ganiz2tiOn, seems as superfiuous as
the repeating of an already twice
told tale.
He stands as one of the best law.
yers at this bar, and is admittedly
one of its strongest advocates before
either court or jury. Whether in Grim
inal or civil practice, in chancery or
law, he is a master of his profession,
and at home before any court or
Justice. He is no better lawyer than
he is Democrat. For twenty years,
whenever the bugle sounded he has
responded to the call. Never cam
paign has been made that he has not
been called on to speak; never a
call has been declined or re-
fused. III this county and in all
the counties of the district, his
services have been more in de-
mand in political campaigns than
thos of any other man; and without
money or price or reward he has
given his time and his talent to the
service of his party and the advo-
cacy of its principles. Neither in
zeal, ability or loyalty has he ever
been found hating or wanting.
He is no better lawyer or Demo-
crat than he is a christian gentle
man. He is an officer in his
church, an active worker in its
ranks, "A progressive citizen, a lib.
eral, charitable, broad guage man;
aud as such the HERALD endorses
him and commends him to the De-
mocracy of the Seventh Congress
sional District.

CLASS PROSPERITY,

The advocates of the single gold
standard attribute the increased
business activity of the country to
the administration at Washington.
They are parading the revival Of
business under the name Of general
prosperity" and the statement has
been extensively made that the re-
newed life in trade channels was
the result of the election of Mr.. Nc.
Kinley; and furthermore that it
would be towering barrier Ia the
pathway of Democratic success in
1900.
But is it true that the people are
prosperous? Is it not true, rather,
that Mr.. McKinley's fostering care
of the trusts and combines, while it
has multiplied the millionaires has
likewise pauperized its thousands?
Such are the unparalleled resources
of this country aud such the un-
paralleled opportunities of this adj
miuistration that il is a reflection and
no credit to the government that un
wise and partial laws haye made
such unequal distribution of wealth
as would make a period of general
prosperity an utter impossiDility.
There is practically no limit to the
resources Of the United States. The
conditions are favorable naturally
to every branch of industry and
every line Of trade. The broad ex.
panse of fertile country. the diver
sity of soil and climate, the prairies
and forests, the great mineral wealth,
the oceans, lakes and rivers, the
energy and inventive genius of the
American people, all designate the
United States "a country capable
of sustaining people, prosperous,
in the trua sense Of the word.
But into these splendid natural
conditions the government thrusts
itself, and by class legislation diverts
IN blessings from the homes Of the
masses and 'mpties The resources Of

So FAR as we have yet been able
to observe. not single paper in the
State is supporting the candidacy of
Judge Snodgrass for the Senate; but
number of them are demanding
that he shall resign his judgeship.
The announcement of his candidacy
for the legislative office has simply
served to show his unpopularity in
his judicial Office.

A SHAME UPoN COLUMBIA.

The senior class Of the Columbia
Public School is composed eXclu
sively of girls; the middle class cOu-
tains three boys and the junior class
only four. That Is the plain state.
ment of facts in regard to the higher
education of the boys Of this city.
Out Of population Of seven thou
sand, the high school department. of
the city Public School contains but
seven boys all told. And there is
not even a respectable showing Of
boys in the grammar school depart
n4ent, for most of them stop school
in the lower grades.
The boys of Columbia seem to
have a contempt for education.
They appear to scorn the appear
ance of school boys after they don
their long pants, and they soon
thereafter appear in the ranks of
business.
Columbia is exceptional in the po-
sition of allowing the boys to have
their own way; and by almost
unanimous consent the parents and
guardians Of the boys agree to
whatever suits the juvenile tastes
They seem to be entirely obedient
co their authority. No other town
has appeared as arrival to Columbia's
advanced theories of the educa-
tional status, and it is not likely
that she will ever have a rival.
Even the villages of Maury county
support boys schools, two of them,
Mt. Pleasant and Spring Hill,
having fiourishing institutions for
the higher education OF boys, and
nearly all other towns are alive to
the Importance of education, but it
is reserved for Columbia to rear the
illiterate men of the future.
1t is shame to our community
that the boys are allowed to drift
from school before they know the
value of education. BY what pos
sible chance do their parents expect
them to successfully compete with
the educated class of men who will
ere long gravitate towards Colum-
bia as place where there is room at
the top? "Send US trained men" is
the demand from every branch of
business; educated mechanics, edu-
Gated farmers, educated merchants,
educated men for all lines of work
There will probably always be subor-
dlnate places which these boys OF
Columbia can fill, if their parents
and guardians are content that they
shall be the "hewers of wood and
drawers of water" for the men who
will occupy the honorable and more
lucrative positions of the future in
the citizenship of Columbia, but il
is contrary to reason to expect them
ever to rise much higher than the
little clerkships and small business
where hey may now be found
when they should be still in the
school room, preparing for higher
better and nobler things. The only
cloud upon the futuro of Columbis
is the lamentable lack of education
of its boys.

A REMARKABLE feature of the Brit
ish- Boer war is the fact that which
ever side stands on the defensive in
any particular battle is sure to win
the victory. AS the British have
made most of the attacks they have
lost most of the engagements; but
the assaults that the Beers have
made upon the defenses of their
enemies have been no more success.

Gus attempt to storm the fortifica-

The improvement of modern guns
and the use Of smOkeless powder is
tue explanation of the uniform fail
ure of offensive tactics. Armed with
long range guns and having the field
unobscured by powder smoke, troops
