Vice President Roosevelt said:
The history of free government is
in large part the history of those
representative legislative bodies in
which. from the earliest times. free
government has found Its loftiest eN-
preston They must ever hold a pc

by him who. with feariessncss and
honesty, with sanity and disinterest-
edncsS, does his life work a. mem'
Der Of such a body. Especially is
this the case when the legislature IN
which the service Is rendered Is a
vital part in the governmental ma
chinery of one of those world powers
To whose hands. in the course OF the
ages, is entrusted a leading part IN

the churches of the Lord Jesus
Christ may procure pure and
unadulterated wine within the
limits of the State? For where the
spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty,
but only tyranny and ''strife, confu-

world, the flesh and the devil hold
joint sway. Ye shall know them by
their fruits.
Gallations V, 10 to %: "Now the
works of the flesh are manifest which
are these, adultery, fornication, un-
cleanness, lasciviousness, idolatory,
witchcraft, hatred, variance, emula-
tions, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
envyings, murders, drunkenness, revel-
lings and such like. Of the which I
tell you before, as I have also told you
in time past, that they which do such
things, shall not inherit the kingdom
of God. But the fruit of the spirit is
love, JOY, peace, longsuffering, gentle
ness, goodness, faith, meekness, tenn
perance: against such there is no
law"

"The exact test of Mr.. McLaurin' S
status in the Democratic party in this
State must be made in the convention
which meets to order the primary next
year, and there will be abundant op-
portunity for settling the question
then and there. In fact the real is
sue will be made prior to the meeting
of the convention, and delegates from
the several counties will be sent to
Columbia with instructions to vote
for or against McLaurin being admit
ted to the privileges Of the primary
election. This is the milk in the
cocoanut, and it is right to decide
McLaurin's political status in ad-
vance of the convention for the simple
reason that his admission to the pri-
mary is an acceptance of the doctrine
that man can act as he pleases when
he gets into Office without being
amenable to party discipline, which
admission is the very quintessence of
party folly. McLaurin's acceptance as
a Democratic candidate will mean that
the door is flung wide open for the en-
dorsement of Republican principles
and policies, and the aborogation of
Democratic tenets and practices. 4
convention that would permit such a
thing ought to amend its constitution
and rules by substituting the word
Republican for Democrat wherever
it occurs. Mr.. McLaurin and his
friends need not lay the fattering
unction to their souls that are going
to deal with the executive committee
about signing the pledge and paying
the the required fee. He has raised
a much more important question, for
the pledge comes under the review Of
his own conscience and judgment as
to its propriety, while his status as a
Democrat is matter of public con-
cern, of which every member of the
party is competent to judge, and has
a right to the expression of an opin-
ion, which can be done in voting for
delegates to the county conventions,
from whence Will be sent representa-
tives to express the will of the people.
In this way Mr.. McLaurin is apt to
receive his dismissal from the Demo
cratic party, if he does not go hence
prior to the meeting of the conven-
tion At any rate 1t is useless to dis
cuss the probable action of the ex-
ecutIve committee. which will receive
its instructions from the people indi-
rectly, it is true, but none the less
efectually. Observation-Disclosures

man, North or South, talks IN mel
low way of his love for his old enemy,
watch him. He is getting ready to
ask for something. Watch him. There
is something pathetic in the picture
of the north and south clasped in
each others arms and shedding cur
rent of hot tears down each others
! back, but the aged mothers on either
side have not yet learned to love the
foe with much violence. Nor does the
crippled veteran love the adversary
who robbed him of the glorious youth
and left him in feeble ruin, nor have
the patriot soldiers on eiher side de-
serted the cause for which they
fought.
But think of Virginia-the glorious
Old Dominion-the mother of States
and statesmen. Her domain extended
from Carolina to Canada and from the
Atlantic to the Pacific oceans. Born
upon her generous bosom was Wash
ington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe,
Lighthouse Harry, Robert E. Lee, Joe
E. Johnston and Stonewal Jackson.
Who would not be proud to be Vir-
ginian? Who can wonder at the patrl-
otic pride of those two venerable Sis
ters, Miss Judith and Miss Anna
Thomas, of Southampton County, now
passed their eightieth year, the only
sisters of General George H. Thomas,
and who, ever since 1861, when he ac-
cepted Office under Lincoln, have uni
formly declared that they once had a
brave and noble brother of that name,
and that he won renown in the war
with Mexico when he was major in
Colonel Robert E. Lees regiment, but
that he died in 1861, and now they
have no brother. Ever since Virginia
seeded they have pathetically de-
clared their dear brother died in the
spring of 1861. Every Virginia officer
of the old army, save George Il.
Thomas promptly resigned and volun-
teered to defend their state. These lone
ly old maidens seem really to believe
that their brother did die The county
of Southampton had presented to
Major Thomas on his return from
Mexico beautiful sword and after our
civil war he wrote to his sisters and
requested that the sword be sent to
him. They replied that they could
not part with it, for it was the only
memento OF very dear ,DrOIner VINO
died in 1861. They still live alone
and in poverty in the same old man
sion in which they were born, but
neither friend nor neighbor ever pre-
sumes to mention General Thomas in
their presence. These venerable and
venerated ladies are but a type of the
old Virginia aristocracy. Well may
they be proud of their State and their
ancestry
P. 81 do not know Colonel Gus
sons nor the price of his little book,
nor have any interest in advertising
it, but do wish that every veteran
and every veterans son had it. His
address is Glen Allen, Va, and he is
the publisher. I suppose that 81 will
buy it postpaid.

stranger who supported him, the un-

An Awful Picture Of Burned Dis
tries. Touches Of Human
Sympathy.

The suburbs of Jacksonville stand
out like oases in the desert OF desola
ton, rest to the eye and a comfort
to the heart. From Bridge to Laura
thin fringe three blocks deep STANDS
uniniured along the river front, but TO
the eastward of Hemming Park, an
unbroken bed of ashes meet the eye,
in which gaunt chimneys rear them
selves ike monuments in some forgot
ten city's cemetery. Over all stands
sentinel our bronze Confederate sol
der on his lofty pedestal OF marble,
facing undismayed and with erect
front, picture equal in sadness to
that his prototype saw all over our
section after Appomattox. But he
knows. God bless him, that Jackson
vile Will rise from its ashes, as did
the south; he has but gone on before,
but our hope is his certainty, our
faith will be justified.
Over this field Of ashes lately
struggled seething mass OF people
battling for life and that which must
sustain life, but always kind and con,
siderate to each other, always helpIul
10 the verge of self-sacrifice. The
members of the staff of this paper
were everywhere, and they can recall
no instance Of unkindness, While
they saw thousand instances Of
where the poor helped the rich with
out money and without price where
the rich gave of their means with
open hand and as lavishly of that
sympathy which is sweeter to the
heart. This is true of both races and
of every condition. Out of dread mis-,
fortune a new chain has been forged
to bind our hearts together.

Under the old testament dispensation
of Moses, the people were forbidden
to offer IN sacrifice to the Lord any
animal that was diseased or manned,

it would not be accepted. Can Chris
