the ,urce of many crimes and cnlami-
ties Ill this world, so is it the spring o.
certain misery to those who indulge
it.. His friends will be few, and small
whom he does possess. Believing
Others To be his enemies he will, OF
course, make them such Let his eau
tiOn be ever SD great, the asperity of
his thoughts will often break out in
his behavior; and in return for sus-
pecting and hating lie will incur sus-
picion and hatred. Beside the exter
arising from alienatcd friendship,
broken confidence and open enmity.
the suspicious temper itself is one of
the worst evils man can suffer. 1t "in
oil fear there is torment" how misera-
BILE must be his condition, who. by liv-
ing in perpetual jealousy, lives in per-
petual dread! Looking upon himself
TO be surrounded with spies. enemies
and designing men, he is IL stranger to
reliance aud trust. He knows nor to
whom to open himself. He dresses his
cOuntenance in forced smiles, while his
heart throbs within from appreh hen
ssions OF secret treachery. Hence
the world and all the painful sensu-
tions of an irritated aud imbittered
mind. SO numerous and great are the
evils arising from suspiciOus dispesi-
tiOn that, of the two extremes, it ia
more eligible to expose ourselves to
occasional disadvantage from thinking
too we'll of others, than to suffer con-
tinual misery by thinking always i'll OF
them. 1t is better to sometimes be i'm
posed upon than to never trust. Safety
Is purchased ut too dear rate, when,
IN order to secure It, we are obliged to
be always clad in armour and to live in
perpetual hostility with our fel,owman.
This is for the sake of living to deprive
ourselves of the comforts Of life. The
man of candour enjoys his situation.
whatever it is, with cheerfulness and
peace. Prudence directs his inter
course with the world and no black
suspicious haunts his hours Of rest
Accustomed to view the characters OF
his neighbOrs in the most favorable
light, he is like one who dwells amidst
those beautiful scenes of nature on
which the eye rests with pleasure.
Whereas tho suspicious man, having
his imagination filled with nll the
shocking forms OF human falsehOOd,
deceit, and trcachery. resembles the
traveller in the wilderness who dis
Germs no objects around him but such
as are either dreary or terrible; caverns
that yawns, serpcnts that hiss, and
beasts of prey that continually howl.
\, longer can President Roosevelt
boast OF any social connection with any
true hearted Southern man or woman,
Tor where can there be found one who
would Stoop so low us to invite II
"nlgger, to dine with them! No, ten
thousand times no, not one among the
humblest citizens OF this beautiful
southland of ours, would degrade him
self upon an equality with the descen-
dants of Ham. The President, by his
action. has said that III every respect
the negro should be equal with the
xx-hy ht,C "a i,., Il
what little respect Southern people had
for him. He can no longer claim that
he is carrying out the policies OF Nc
Kinley, for Mckinley never once in his
life stopped so low as to place himself
upon an equality with II member of
this most degraded OF all races. Just

Why don't some one take hold of the
matter and try to get up singing
school at some Of the churches in this
part of the County7 Nothing would
be more beneficial than a normal music

glad of one. All that is lacking is the
proper one at the head.
