the preacher. sends us some of his fine
ones every few days. His Crimson
Whirlwind is the fienst variety | have
ever seen. Verify the lines have fallen
to us in pleasant places. Day unto day
uttereth speech and night unto night
showeth knowledge. Miss Stone will be
rescued. | reckon. not because she is a
missionary in barbarous country,
but because she is an American wom-
an. The best opinion is that she had TO
business going there. Our people have
not more sense and are not drumming
uD women for missionaries to unciil-
liZed countries. II is strange waht I
passion some people nave for long dis
tance charity. The statistics show Co.
900 arrests in Boston the last fiscal
year and yet Boston sends misslona-
ries to Turkey and preachers and
teachers for the negroes in the south.
Georgia has only $50 white convicts in
her penitentiary, while Massachusetts,
with only a little larger population,
has 500, and New York state with but
three times the population of Georgia,
has 3.G00 convicts besides numerous re-
formatories with several thousand in
mates. The truth is that every state
and every large city has enough OF the
lawless, the ignorant and the destitute
10 care for and it is mistaken charity
TO overlook them and hunt for misery
afar off. But we are getting along fa!rly
well in this blessed land and nave
much to be thankful for that our nor
thern brethren have not. May the good
Lord bless and guide the president IS
our prayer. The south does not expect
him to TyleriZe his party on the pro-
tective tariff or any other republican
principle. but it does expect him to ap-
point the best men to office regardless
of their politics. And if his party KICKS
and threatens as the wings did John
Tyler, let him say as Tyler said to Z ay
and others. Gentlemen, you cannot
scare me. My back is against the wall
and | will veto those bills ly!er was
noble man and a conscientious state
sman. but he was too pure man ID
please either party, and, CT course
was rot nominated for the next pres
idency. That may be Roosevelt's fac.

stitution.
