DR.. L. L. Seaman, just back from

ance Ii Hung Chang half a dozen
times in Pekin this winter-some-
times professionally. LIS legs are
hardly bigger than ones wrists, he
says, but otherwise the great China.
mans physical condition was excel
lent and bis mind as vigorous as ever.
The "moral effect" of the capture Of
Pekin has been destroyed, the doctor
thinks, by the atrocities since com.
mitted by the so-called Christian SOL
diery. Our American troops have
the only transportation in China
worth talking about" they have
had to help out the Germans and the
English. Their ration is the finest in
the world for high latitudes, but for
service in the tropics it is too heavy.
Rice, fish, light meats and plenty OF
fruit should be substituted for it
there, DR.. Seaman says.

One must be careful how he chal-

county as an example of the danger
there is In so doing. She has been
tossing back her head and pointing
a finger Of scorn at everybody else all

crime in sister counties. She had
scarcely ceased her boasting Of her
purity when she herself presents to
the world a greater mystery and more
tragedy than even the his.

Dean Farrar of England and Rev.
Lyman Abbott of New York have re-
pudiated the golden rule. That is to
say, they have done SO in effect. Dean
Farrar declares war a "moral tonic
necessary for the health Of the ma
tion." Mr.. Abbott says the first duty
of q Christian country toward one not
q Christian, is to subdue it as barba-
rism has no rights which. civilization
is bound to respect. So England is in
South Africa for her "health." A
"moral tonic" was necessary. If SO,
the tonic in her case must have been
French absinthe, the tonic that does
not build up, but which wrecks and
destroys, These gentlemen must find
their international ethics in the old
testament. Certainly there is moth
ing in the new testament that justi-
fies it. The gospel of peace and good
will does not preach war. Christ
taught the doctrine of human broth.
erhood and no true believer in Him
can justify war.

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects OF the we'll known remedy,

tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one

every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.

habit of arising somewhere about 2 a. m. every morning and he doesn' usually roll in until some where near midnight.
 This practice is followed whether hunting or not. Some times when he starts out with his rubber boots, gun and dog, and when people think he's hunt. ing, he's only fooling. And it may be that these friends who think they have actually seen him at work are also fooled. As we don t get to see MT. Marsh except Sundays at noon we will not give our opinion on the sub ject for we may have been fooled We will say this much however if MT. Marsh has so far given up his hunting as to go to work we feel sorry for him. One of his friends asked him the other day if it was the truth that he had quit hunting and gone to work. MT. Marsh answered by saying, Yes, I got so I couldn t stand the crowd that 1 had to go with sometimes. Whenever a man gets so bad that a dog won't as sociate with him, I'm going to quit him myself. '

A mass meeting of the citizens of McCrory assem bled at the Methodist church of our town, Friday evening, September 9th, at the call of the mayor. Mayor H. T. Raney and Rev. s. l.. Coch- ran made excellent talks on the character of President Wm. Nc Kinley, whose attempted assas- sination was the cause of the meeting. Revs. Raney and Cochran eulogized the president iu very high terms, touching upon his religious life. A mo- tion was made to send a telegram of sympathy to the Mckinley househould, but the motion lost. Rev. Cochran then made a mo- tion that three men be appointed to draft suitable resolutions, to be published in The Woodruff County News, a marked copy of which was to be sent to the presidents family. MT. Rasp- berry seconded the motion and was passed. The chairman ap- pointed Clayton Hailey, E. C.. Kramer and Rev. $. L. Cochran as the committee. Up to going to press the committee has not been heard from.

comes very eloquent and talks of the waving grain, cattle in a beautiful pasture" etc. He can tell more about farming than any man his size in the county. But his main hold is hunting , What he doesn't know about hunting has never been written.
 At one time he purchased a ten-cent fish story book and has been relating them ever since as actual occurance of his own, and although some are as old as the hills he spits them out as if they happened to him yesterday. He believes in a good joke and never gets mad when he gets a good one off on some of his friends. And when they try to get one on him, he always goes home, reads the ten-cent joker and returns with the latest" just off ice, which he rattles off like the fog horn orator at a museum of freaks. The latest joke his friends have on him is that he is at work, and it is sumner. At present MT. Marsh has not found any joke in his book that will equal it and we fear he will have to spend ten cents more for another and later edition. Work? Why he says he hates it worse than a mad dog does water.
