sThats good advice aud I wish that We
could all take it. TRY to, but some-
a,imes it is hard work. When itrain-
j ed all the month Of juno and we had 5
2burnipg sun all the month Of Septem-
8ber, I couldent "oarpe diem" When
j I ponder upon the cruel, useless Fhii-
Sippine war and the Porto Rico steal
and the Chinese muddle aud all the
4otber deyilment that this admiaistra-
Stion has brought about. I cant be
7reconciled. When / hear these Mo.
aKinley men shouting prosperity it
4 makes me hot under the COLLAR. They
q remind NE Of gang Of highway rob-
hers who murder helpless travellers
land rob them and then go dH and CRY
|aprosperity. Manufacturers of army
aaud navy supplies are getting rich on
eonsract and army officers in Manila
sud Pekin are taking in the foot and
S,ry prosperity. War always brings q
show Of prosperity, butitis'at the cost
!of blood aud tears.
But still VIC hive in hope that there
N;aill come change. IIfIBryan is elect
i ed know there will, and If he is not,
)sIve will be 40 worse off than nc are
st
bow. We can't'be worsted, and so
,Ee will try to be reoonoiled. Whom I
s3was young mani =as q democrat be-
cause my father was, but I cast my
vote for " w. Clayton, who was a
vhig. I wis college boy at Athens,
5hnd Mr.. Clayton was kind to us and
Eve all voted for. .hini FOR State Sena-
3or. knew Mr.. Clayton for many
years aud always respected him, for
DE had bind heart and was gentle
nan. Afterhhis election he gave tho
follege boys party one night and was
especial'y kind to me, and I havs new
Sr forgotten it. ~

Before the war, when I was in my
4 prime Of manhood and had more vital
6SiEy thar sense, Mwas strong parti-
an and really believed that if my par
a3y did aet,succeed, the country would
M p ruined. NY father used to laugh
y tiny zeal and say ..Oh, no, my con,
be eouutryis safe; dom let the poll
isians snd'newspapers alarm you.''
