We desire to express our thanks
for the interest taken in our schools
and for the excellent advice given
concerning boy teachers. We think
the same thing applies also to boy
preachers, only they, they never
"build fires" But we will say no
more of them, for Christ says "Let
him who is sinless cast the first
stone" But we think the writer has
made an error i'm his statments as
boy teachers receiving $25 month
are scarce in Sullivan county. And
it appears that some of the boy
teachers got schools in preference to
those holding permanent certificates.
AS to the taxpayers, Seeing is be-
lieving," so we invite them to pay
us a visit before passing judgment
on ''poOr management" and then it
is time to make greater demands of
the school board.
1t is necessary to start at the bot
tom of the ladder so in this way we
expect to get permanent certificates.
In conclusion we earnestly invite
the writer to call on us as he will be
sure to find good fire, and he will
also see that we can do more than
"build fires"

GEO. ". PLArTE.


Few men have ever left behind them
kinder memory than the subject Of
this sketch. HIS deeds Of kindness and
charity were 20 many and 20 Ostenta-
tiously wrought; his friendship was 50
rcng, 90 snnfaltaring, 90 helpful! his
philanthropy was 90 sincere, ann his
character 90 upright and loyable that
even men who knew him but slightly
are quick to testify TO their apprecia-
tion Of a life ennobled by so many
high qualities and good deeds. His
modesty and unselfishness was SO much
prevailing characteristic OF his na-
ture that II 10 only by the Testimony Of
eye witnesses that HIS deeds OF heroism
and daring in war are known. He him
self could never be prevailed upon to
speak Of scenes in which he bore 50
conspicuous and honorable part.
One Of the first to leave for the seat
Of war, he followed Lee with danntless
bravery through every scene Of the
tremendous struggle, serving mode +
ly as "a private. While he himself
would never speak OF his share In the
battles around Richmond, it is the
verdict OF call who were with him in
those desperate conflicts that no drawer
soldier bore arms ON those fields. At
Charlottesville he achieved the honor
to be the first man who scaled the
height. At the Wilderness, Spotsyl-
vania, the Seven Days, Malvern Hin.
Sharpsburg, Harpsr's Ferry, and ali
the great Virginia and Maryland bat
ties which are histories Of gallant
deeds, he distinguished himself, sur
rendering at last with Lee at Apo
mattOx.
But It was chiefly in the pesti lence
OF yellow fever in 1878 that he won for
himself an enduring place in the honor
and affection Of the people Of Green
vile. There was NO reason why he
should risk the sacrifice Of his life iii 4
working to succor others during that
fearful time. He had no family-was
bound by no ties Of obligation to any
one; yet during the months in which
the town was scourged by the pestil
lence no devoted kinsman watched az
the bedside Of sick and dying with
more tender faithfulness than George
Plat. No one Of the few noble men
and women who battled with the
scourge for the lives of others was
more tireless, more DEVOTED, more self
sacrificing than he. The work was
done for all nwho needed it alike.
Whenever need and helplessness and
pity called him land the calls were
many he was found.
Had he no other claim to the love
respect and honor Of the people than
this, it would be enough. And it did
not fail. When the end OF his solitary
life came it did not come as to one
and alone. BY his bedside
we're gathered many who remembered
his good deeds and comforted his last
days even as he himself comiorted as |
many. May he have eternal peace.
His best epltaph Is the gratitude Of
hose whose lives he comforted, and |
The deeds Of charity silently done here, |
'ut trumpeted on high.

DESPERATE FIGHT
 AT YLAKFONTEIN
Fifty British Soldiers Fell at the First VoIIey from the
 Boers Nr>',

London, June 5.-Details regarding the fighting at vlakfontein show that 1t was one of the most desperate engagements of the war. General Dixon's column was traversing the district and establishing posts when 1t was attacked by 1,2oo Boers under Commandant Kemp. The Beers were so close that fifty British fell at the first volley. The yeomanry held the po- sition protecting the guns until they were nearly decimated. and then finding 1t i'm possible to save the guns, the artillerymer shot the gun horses to prevent the Boert moving the guns. The column quickly re covered from the shock of the unexpected attack. The Derbyshires charged with bayonets, and after a short, desperate fight, drove off the Boers and recovered both lost very heavily.
 It is asserted that while the Boers had temporary possession of the guns they shot two artillerymen in cold blood for refusing to work them against their own comrades. The appointment of General French, who has been recruiting his health in Capetown, to command the operations in Cape Colony indicates that Lord Kitchener attaches considerable i'm portance to the invasion
 The recrudesence of such fighting brings further demands for the sending out of endorsements. The surrender of Jamestown is regarded as a disagreeable incident because it has provided com mandant Fritzinger with a fresh supply of the sinews of war.

WHAT NEXT?
Chicago Unionists Will Demand Dis bandment of Employers Association.

Chicago, June 4.-For the first time in the history of Chicago unionists a labor body is about to present the unique de- mand that It's employers organization shall disband.
 The International Association of Ma chinists through it's local officers. will insist on the dissolution of the Chicago Association of Machinery Manufacturers after Thursday unless the members of that organization show some disposition to settle with their striking machinists. More than 2000 of the latter are now out, and supported by the working union members who are determined to compel the local employers to come to terms.
 Five large manufacturing concerns, em- ploying nearly 200 members of the ma chinists' union, have withdrawn from the Chicago Machinery Manufacturers Association and four of them have already signed agreements with the offi- cers of the union despite the resolutions passed by the association binding them to refrain from arbitrating with their employees.
 The firms which have withdrawn from the association are Winslow Brothers, Gallagher & Shack, Eaton & Prince, Herman & Co. and the Garden City Fan company.

SENATOR M'LAURIN
 ON DEMOCRACY
Writing to a Republican HeSays Democrats Have Always
 Been Consistent

Columbis, S. C., June 4.-Senator Me Laurin, in his letter to Clayton, outlines the difference between the Hamilton and Jefferson policies, the victory of the lat ter which subsidized the Collins line or steamships to England and under Jack son made the first reciprocity treaty. He continues: "The Democrats never failed to correct their errors. They lose no op- portunity to build up merchant marine Once opposed to internal improvements Democrats were the first to advocate I'm proyements of the Nicaragua canal ant Pacific railroads. They declared for free trade in 1s4s, incidental protection IT 1868. tariff for revenue in 1880 and went further in 1884 and 1SSS The party has been consistent but never stutihed itseir' It changed with the times.
 "I believe" he says, 'the Democratic party does not exist for the mere pur- pose of opposing what the Republican party man suggest"
 Senator McLaurin goes at length into the financial methods of the two parties. He refers to the fight in the Kansas City Convention against the 16 to plank made by John w. Daniel of Virginia, and other strong men of the South because it was suicidal
 "When,' he writes, "such men as Vest, Hill, Cleveland and Dickinson urged re- organization, Bryan considering himself the party, declined to be reorganized. Old line Democrats declined to be driven from their position by a man who, in ten years, has been a Democrat, a Populist and a Socialist
