TO PRESERVE PINE FORESTS.
Prof. Herty Brings Subject to At
tention of the Governor.

Professor Charles H. Herty of the
State University called on Governor
Gambler and State Geologist Yates a
few days ago to discuss the subject of
the rapid destruction of Georgia's tur-
pentine forests, and to see if the mat
ter could not be brought to the atten-
ton of the legislature, and something
done to preserve the industry in part,
at least
Governor Gambler was very much
impressed with the idea and said he
would arrange to have the question put
before the legislature in the proper
light.
DR. Herty will devote his vacation
this summer to practical experiments
with a small turpentine farm in South
Georgia for the purpose of showing
the people in actual dollars ard cents
just what they stand to lose by this
rapid destruction of the turpentlne
forest.

The popular view of the relation of
the blood to human character and con-
duct is marked in many a familiar ex-
preston. We speak of there being
bad blood" between people atenmity,
of ''blue blood as indicating ancestry,
Of ''black blood ''as describing treach-
erous nature, AMI in many another
phrases mark our belief that in the
mental, moral and physical man ''the
blood is the life" The one basis of a
healthful, happy and useful life is
pure blood. With the blood pure,
disease has no permanent lodging
place in the system. For this reason
the use of DR.. Pierces Golden Med

A PAUPER CRIPPLE
STAYS 4 FARMER.
MAN WHO USES HIS HANDS ONLY IN
JAIL FOR MURDER.
J. n. Sweat Shoots Luke Foster Down
Then Sets Pack of Dogs on the Pros
trate Form of His Victim.

An unusual state of affairs developed
at the coroner's inquest over the body
of Luke Faulkner, killed near Nash
vile, Berrien county, one day last week
by John H. Sweat.
The evidence showed that there had
been bad feeling between the men for
some time, and during the forenoon
Sweat drove up to Faulkner's gate and
called him out. Faulkner came, and
Sweat paid him s. he owed him on an
account and as Faulkner turned to en-
ter his gate Sweat shot him in the
back with load of buckshot. Faux
ner fell backwards IN a pool of water
and a drove of dogs owed by Sweat
covered him, biting and gnawing him
in his dying moments.
Faulkner was a widower and his
house-keeper was at the cOwpen. only
a short distance away. Sweat called
to the boy standing beside the cart,
telling him to take the gun and ''shoot
the d-n woman so she could not
swear against him." The boy took
the gun and fired at the woman, who
ran for her life across the field, the boy
and the dogs following her until she
took refuse in a swamp near by.
Sweat watched Faulkner until he
died, drove to a neighbors and return
ed the gun, which he had borrowed,
and returned to Nashville, where he
surrendered to the sheriff. The coro-
ner's jury returned 4 yirdict of willful
murder, and Sweat is now in the coun-
ty Jail.
Sweat. the slayer, is county pauper
and a helpless cripple. Fhen he was
six or seven years of age his entire
body and lower limbs were stitfened
by rheumatism and since has had use
of his hands only. He can neither
walk. sit erect or turn his head. He
lies in reclining chair made to fit
his body, and spends his days sitting
in that chair driving about the coun-
try in an OK cart. Notwithstanding
his condition he has family of seven
or eight children. and is said to have a
most violent temper. For fifteen or
twenty years he has received pen
sion of S. per month from the county
He claims that Faulkner was trying to
cut him with a knife when he shot
him to save his own life.
Faulkner has several grown sons and
was a well-to-dO farmer.

THE VETERANS REUNION.

The Annual Reunion of the Col.
umbia County Veteran Association
was held in Bloomsburg Saturday.
Our main thoroughfare had on a holi-
day attire, the merchants and residents
in general complying with the wish
that the buildings be decorated and
all vying in desire to extend to the
old soldiers all the recognition they
so richly deserve. 1t seemed as though
the spirit OF fraternity had caught the
people, as all the exercises of the day
were largely attended.
The program opened with the
address of welcome by VIC. Johnston
Esq, he being substituted tor Mayor
keller, who was out of town DR.. M.
b. Hughes, of Shickshinny, responded.
In the afternoon the Veterans
made short parade, headed by the
Bloomsburg Band, after which they
assembled at the Opera House, where
they listened to eloquent addresses bv
Rev. G. H. Hemingway and Col.
Thomas G.. Sample, of Pittsburg.
Short but interesting talks were made
by Rev. J. D. Smith and Rev. w. R.
Whitney. Many "reminiscences which
the onrush OF time has failed to oblit-
crate were related, and smiles over
spread the countenances of the old
soldiers as their minds went back to
the humorous incidents of those
exciting times. The male quartette
was present aed rendered some very
pretty and appropriate selections.
Officers tor the ensuing year were
elected as follows: President, H. H.
Heller; Secretary, w. R. Price; Treas
urer, J. H. Hughes, all of Lime Ridge;
Vice President, George Lee, Of
Jerseytown, after which committee
was appointed to draw up the follow

IN MEMORIAM.

At two o'clock on Thursday, Sep
tember 10Th, all the church bells in
Bloomsbury tolled out requiem to
the memory of President Mckinley.
AT half past two beautifully solemn
funeral service was held at St. Paul's
P. E. church, conducted by the rector
Rev. ID. N. KirkDy. 1t opened with
the Dead March from "Saul,' by the
organlst, Mr.. DeForest Hummer.
Then the choir entered from the
Parish House, preceded by the rector
who read the opening sentences of the
burial service, as they marched slow
ly up the centre aisle. At the entrance
to the chancel hung draped flag at
half mast, and the purple hangings of
the penitential season were on the
altar, pulpit and lectern. The follow
ing order of services was observed:
Hymn, 80 God our help in ages
past"
Chant, ''Lord let me know mine
end"
Lesson, Cor. XIV.
Hymn, LEAD, Kindly Light"
Sermon
Hymn, "Nearer My God, to Thee"
Creed.
Prayers.
Benedicton.
AS the choir filed slowly out, Mr..
Elwell played Beethoven's Funeral
March.
The sermon was mastery effort,
and is printed in full in this issue.
There was large congregation present
and the deep feeling was shown by the

ing and Travelling of creation, of the
bitter and unceasing conflict. And
what the result Well The repre-
sentative of law and order and relig-
ion, for the time being, is slain. But
in his martyrs death he has kndled
such fame as by Gods grace shall
never be put out. The tragic event
is surely an illustration of the asser-
ton OF the apostle. Ever is there
struggle Till Gods peace shall be re-
vealed.
But the sequel, that, too, is a JUS
tliication of the rest that he has to
say. The very triumphs of the un-
godly are made to bend themselves to
the eternal law of progress which the
Almighty has planned for His crea-
lures. Has anarchy won Its victory
because it has slain its victim2 Nay,
rather it has oyerreached itself and
crystallized the feelings and the re-
solves of the nation TO trample out as
a pestllence anything which besets the
life OF law, of oroer and of religion.
Yes, my brethren, and here it is where
the text finds Its place. These mad
demagogues rise up wildly, crying
Turn to us-7Oe are the saviours of
society. Turn to us-why will ye be
slaves and die2" Well, they cry their
cry and strike their blow, and what is
the response of the world TO which
they dppeal' In its sutferings and its
agony "the earnest expectation of the
creature waiteth for the manifestation
of the children of Cod 1t knows
not the voice of these charmers,
charm they never so wisely. Its own
instinct builds upon It's own hope.
Nothing and no one apart from God
can help US. And so one more, and
this a mighty step, is made in the
progress OF the nation in spite of op-
position, and men turn more and
more to religion-to the sons OF Cod
rather than to men of sin. All
You have not read Alright the story of
these sad days If you have failed to |
see the large place these feelings have
occupied, which draw men to religion |
and to God.
Witness the instantaneous echo and
the profound influence which the re-
llglon of the wounded President, evil
denced by his prayers, has found in
the hearts of men. The prayer, first
to his immediate attendants, in which
well nigh the words, and altogether
the spirit, were by him recalled of our
Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ

ed. Mrs. Holmes oficiated at the

vice played Chopin's Funeral March.
At the close she rendered "Emeror
Williams Funeral March"

state, on Tuesday, September 18th.
The services were solemn and impre ss-
i've throughout.

A GOOD ENTERTAINMENT.
The Wlnona Boys Please a Large Audience.

The Winona Fire Company's 2oth
Century Mnstres was presented at
the Opera House Monday evening,
before large and we'll pleased audi
ence. 1t was one of the most enjoy
able amateur performances ever given
here, and the audience in attendance
showed its app' eciation by liberal ap-
plause. The first part was particu.
larly strong. The orchestra, which
consisted of seven pieces, and under
the leadership of Prof Charles ID.
Breon, of the Normal School, occu-
pied an elevated position on the rear
of the stage. In front of the orches-
ira platform was the odtlme circle.
The stage was very tastefully trimmed
with flags and bunting. The scene
was very pretty one.
The songs were all of this seasons
production, and well rendered. One
or two of the vocalists could not be
heard very distinctly, but this was
probably due to the singers unfamil-
iarity with the acoustic properties of
the building. The jokes were all
good and given in a way that created
a great deal of laughter.
The ollo, or after part, consisted of
"Coonsmoothtalk," or ologue,
by Paul Harman, concluding with a
witty dialogue between him and Silas
Riddle; illustrated songs by d. J.
Tasker; a dancing and singing spec.
