THE HOPE OF THE WORLD
Bill Arp Talks About Family In.
huences In Good Government.

The family is the most important in
stitution upon the earth. 1t is the
hope of the world. It's influence is
greater than that Of kings, emperors
or cabinets. Parents and children
gathered around the hearthstones in
separate families make up communities,
and they make States and nations and
choose their rulers. AS tho families
are, 80 ls the governmcnt--go' or
bad ---men-unmarried men are merely
individuals and feel no great RESPONSE
bility outside Of their individual com.
fort and welfare. But parents are
concerned for their children. We live
for them and would die for them, con
sequently we want good government
that will protect them. But it is not
every family who feels this deep con-
cern. From my window | see the
homes Of my neighbors and can count
on my fingers those whose presence is
safeguard to the community, and the
rest are Of but little consequence. II

long letter from my old friend
Bishop Turner, concerning that recent
publication of William Hannibal
Thomas; that bill of indictment against
the negroes Of his own race. He de-
nounccs Thomas. Ills opinion is that
some learned white man wrote the
book and paid Thomas for the use of
his name. He says this is the opia
OF those in South Carolina who know
this scapegallows. lie says "I am
well acquainted with him; knew him
during the war in front Of Richmond,
where some Southern hero shot off one
OF his arms, and it is pity he did not
shoot his head of. lie is now rccely-
ing an cxorbitant pension from the
United States government. If there
ever was money paid to a dog, 1t is
paid to him. If the white people OF
the South knew half as much about his
rascality and villainy as he has told
me, they would seek his blood. If
our preachers are so bad as he repre-
sents them, what did he stop for and
join the party of the devil. He was
one OF the preachers of the devil. He
was one of the preachers of my church
and will be until hell opens her arms
TO receive him." etc., etc.
l have been following Bishop Turn
er's course ever since the war, and
have never Known aught against him
as a man or Christian. In the Year
1866, when our people at Rome were
under the oppression of Spanish
captain, one De n Mesa, Bishop Turner
acted as mediator and tried to make
our condition more tolerable. He
made a speech at Rccse's Spring, near
Rome, that we all Commended, and
did his utmost to prevent that Span
lard from exercising his foul domina-
tion and tyranny. Ever since then
his pen and voice has been for peace
between the races. | am pleased to
speak of him as "my friend"

GHOSTS DROVE THEM AWAY
The Occupants of an Old Home
Flee In Terror.

The Richmond Times says that
ghosts have caused Northern family,
who have lived near that city for five
years, to give up theh beautiful home
and go back to Buffalo, N. Y, from
whence they came.
The stories which the former re-
sidents of the old place tell Of the sup
ernatural manifestations are calculated
to shake the nerves Of any one at all
inclined to believe that the spirits of
tho dead revisit the scenes of earth.
The sincerity of the belief of the re-
cent occupants Of the property in the
stories which they told of The wonder
full manifestations witnessed in the
old house is attested by the fact that
on last Friday they fled to the railway
station and boarded northbound
train, not even taking from the house
change of clothing.
Everything-clothing, furniture,
bric-a- brac, books-ls in the house to-
day, and Will remain there for some
time to come. 1t is pretty certain that
the owners will not return to claim
their property.
The whole story is one of the most
remarkable ever heard in Richmond.
II has excited great interest. The
portion OF the city lying nearest the
beautiful old place is naturally most
interested in the strange story of the
supernatural, which, If not true, was
so strongly believed by those who
thought they saw the fearful appari-
tions that they fled in terror, and ere
this have put hundreds of miles be-
tween them and the home in which
they spent several years of happiness.
The story of the ghost Is not very
well connected. 1t was not generally
known until two or three days ago,
when the agent who sold the occupants
the property received an intimaton
that all was not right at the homestead.
The next DAY he was visited by the
widowed mother, nearly seventy years
years of age, and her son and his wife
who lived with her. They were in q
state of great excitement, indeed il
was some time before the agent could
understand the cause of the trouble.
The ladies and the gentleman were
absolutely corroboratlvc in their stories
They said that the former owner OF
the place, a gentleman who has been
dead twenty years, or more, and who
was one of the best known men in this
section, was driving them from the
place which used to be his home. II(
appeared to them every day and every
night. In form he was terrible. Tho
memory Of his eyes as they appeared
to the ladies and gentleman almost
} drove them distracted. They described
them as datting binding fire, flashing
: with light at once dazzling and ter
, rifying.

had the most intimate acqualntanc

The South offers excellent advant-

ATTACKS EXPERIMENT STATION
One OklahOman Angry at Hts Glover
Bulletin.

Guthrie, o. T., Feb ia sharp attack
has been made on the experiment station
at Saltwater by the Perry Enterprise,
which says: recent report from the
experiment station Of the Saltwater col
lege is a fraud and a disgrace to the ter
ritOry, and proves conclusively one Of
two things, namely, that those having
charge thereof are ignorant and tncompe-
tent, or that the experiments were made
on soil Of the most inferior kind. The re-
port complained Of is in regard to the
raising Of clovers and tame grasses, and
the statement is made that in every in
stance these plants would flourish for a
few months and then die out This is
false and misleading and should be con-
demned in the harshest kind of language.
No soil or climate anywhere is Better
adapted to the raising of clover than Of
oklahoma, as was fully demonstrated in
our public square some years ago It was
sown to alfalfa and grew excellent crops
until it was plowed up and planted to
trees, and even then It was almost i'm
possible to kill it cut. Put a competent
man at the head Of the experiment sta
ton, or, better yet, abolish It.
