Pinto diagnosed the case and said that
the poor fellow was heart sick from
having to look into that bag so much:
that his sins were ever before him, and
so he advised Jupiter to swap the bags
around and put the mans sins behind
and out OF sight and his neighbors in
'front.'. This was done and the man goi
we'll and has been we'll ever since.
But we will not fuss about the hall OF
fame as long as they leave ont old .Io''T
Brown. When he is put in we want
Lee taken out. Speaking Of John Mar
shall being 4 fedcralst reminds me q
say that Lee was not, for he declared
when he resigned from the United
States army that his highest allegiance
YVES due TO his state. Many great men
have differed over that question. Dam
iel Webster differed with himself and
in his last great speech at CapOn
Springs admitted that a state had n
,iph; TO secede when there was sufTi-
ciert cause and that the state mus; be
the Judge Of the cause. That was what
Whttiel lampooned him about in those
malignant verses.
| am revellng now in old things and
holding converse with some good old
poo0lp. received letter TODAY f~o'"
an old gentleman Of Atlanta WHO had
written mo fourteen pages in lag
loud handwriting, for he knew | was
deaf. lie says he is in his ninetieth
year and just wanted TO write about
the good old sch oolboy days and about
the great men we used 10 have. lie
went to school to George White, who
publ shed the statistics ANA "Historical
Collections OF Georgia" over fifty years
ago. and Charles Wallace Howell was
l. school mate. My frienG is blind,
buC writes his own le,ters-thc lines
are about an inch apart and about four
words 10 the line-and yet he writes in
'lo>t cheerful vein and tells how
good God has been TO him all his long
LIE. His name is a r. Wright. and he
was born and reared in Savannah. His
favorite AZ school was
'Locheil. Lochoil. beware of the day
When the lowlands shall meet thee in
battle array"
i expect there are Il thousand living
men who spoke that speech, and the
other one, ON Linden when the sun
was low" My neighbor Rev. George
Marlborough, 4 man OF memories, too
He is our Methodist Episcopal preacher
nov and it is a luxury to talk 10 him.
He helps me abuse the yankees and
says he loves his enemies but cannot
suppress a feeling OF holy indignation
at their conduct. He has curious old
book printed in 1926 called The Won
ders of Nature and Providence" That
part devoted to Indians and their
mounds and the Lost Tribes OF Israel
is full of interesting data. 1t
seems 10 ne that the older a man
grows the more he learns and about the
time he gets full of knowledge and be-
gins to run over he has 20 lie down and
die. What a pity he could not live on
and on for the sake of the children and
grandchildren. But as Pope says.
Whatever is is right. Bill Arp in
Atlanta Constitution.
