Of little white lies, society lies that
have to be told for eivility's sake
lies that aattsr and please the visitor,
the customer or the patient. All
these are spoken lies, hn. there are as
many autvd lies in trading, such as
concealing the truth and putting the
best on top. In fact, everybody lies
more or less except children and fools,
though most of us mean no harm By
it. My Old partner used to say that
some mighty clever men would be
shut ont Of heaven FOR swearing lie
to their tax returns, for David says,
"Lord, who shall abide in Thy taber-
nacle; who shall dwell in Thy holy
hill-he that speaketh the truth in
his heart and sweareth to his own hurt
and ohangeth not.
Withholding what is due to the
state is as bad as stealing from it.
And withholding what man ought to
g;re to the church he belongs to is
almost as great sin as that of Ana
MAS. It is stealing from God. Moth
ing that member Of the church can
do so readily fixes his character as q
Christian as his Willingness to give ell
that he can according to his means.
Tithes and offerings have come down
to us from Cain and Abel in an un-
broken line. Cain was bad man, but
he paid his tithes. He was the first
liar on recora-the devil excepted.
Then there are the lies published
every day in the great daily papers
political lies, commercial lies and
medical lies TO catch the ignorant and
unsuspecting; some reporters lie to
show their diligence in business.
High coloring, veneering, varnish-
ing are essential qualities in repor-
ter, whether his journal be white or
yellow. He must lie little, even
though it has to be taken back or
modified the next day. And 30 the
world wage on and the people have be-
come so accustomed to lies that they
make allowance for everything they
hear or read. When the historian
wanted to cap the climax of General
Washington Q noble character he wove
in that little story of the cherry tree
and made the boy to say: Father, I
cannot tell. a lie." And so hope
that all our little boys will grow up to
be truthful men. Don't go behind
the barn and smoke a cigarette, for
that is telling lie to your father.
You can tell lie by winking your
eyes or pointing your finger or con-
cealing what you do from your parents
or your teacher. Ifyou do wrong own
it like gentleman and you will have
their respect as we'll as your own.

Memphis May 29.-The Sons of Confed-
crate Veterans closed their convention in
one of the stormiest sessions in the his
tory of the organization. IL all arose over
the choice of a commander-in-chieft to sue
coed Biscoe Hindman, who declined to
become candidate for reelection. Judge
r. B. Haughton of st. Louis was finally
declared elected by reclamation, but the
decision was reached after hard parlia-
mentary battle.
There has been a spirited rivalry over
the position of chief of the Sons of Vet
Grams ever since the delegates began to
pour into Memphis The foremost can
didates from the beginning were Judge
Haughton of St. Louis and Edwin p.
Cox of Richmond. Considerable wirepuII-
ing had been done and both
sides felt confident of success. 1t had
been hoped that the election of officers
would be reached at the morning session,
when there was a full representation
present, but other matters crowded the
session and precluded the possibility of
disposing of this important matter. Other
attractions claimed the attention of
number of the delegates in the afternoon,
and when this order was reached only
about one-third of the delegates We're
present. The Houghton men had fore
seen the advantage of remaining, and
were anxious to take an early vote. The
Cox men endeavored to postpone until
their men could reach the hall, but after
a series of motions and a considerable
wrangle the motion to postpone was de-
feated and the election of Haughton fol-
lowed.
The other officers elected were:
Edwin p. Cox, commander of the De-
partment of Northern Virginia.
w. A. Collier. Jr., of Memphis, COM
mander of the Army of Tennessee.
w. NJ. Kavanaugh OF Little Rock,
Ark, commander of the Trans Mssissip-
pi division.
James Mann, chairman of the Memo
rial Committee, submitted report, show
ing that 500 had been collected for the
monument which the Sons of Veterans
propose to erect in honor of the Confed-
crate women. He made a strong plea for
support for this object and the roll of
each camp and subscriptions to the
amount of Sc, 1000 were raised. This makes
s.. 700 pledged to the committee.
The convention adjourned sine die to
meet in Dallas, Tex, in 1902.

Douglas, Ga, May 29.-Last night the
large store house and contents at Nichols.

parently on the inside of the rear end of
the store house, and an oil tank in this
end of the house added fury to the
flames.
Mr.. Howard and wife lived up stairs,
over the store, and were awakened bare
ly in time to save their lives. On awak-
ening Mr.. Howard rushed to the door; on
opening 1t he was enveloped in flames,
singing his hair and eyebrows. Seeing
every avenue OF escape cut off by the in
creasing flames, he gathered up his wife,
ran to the front porch and let her down
to the ground a distance Of twelve or
fifteen feet. He following by sliding
down one OF the columns He lost every =
thing, and himself and wife were left
with their night robes as their only pos
sessions.
The entire stock of goods, worth about
5000, Is a total loss. Dr. Parker does not
know just how much insurance, II any,
there was. Since his purchase of the bust
ness he was endeavOring to have the in
surance of II. Meeks & Co. transferred
to himself, and knows that one policy was
refused and cancelled. but does not know
the result Of the other application.
The new postoffice, standing forty feet
from the large store caught on fire and
was also burned down. Postmaster Mon

ROckefeIIer-GouId Syndicate Work.
Ing for an Eastern Outlet.
New York, May 29.-The World to-mor-
row will say:
That the Rockefeller-Gould syndicate Is
making a determined effort to get control
of the Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern as an eastern outlet for the Missouri
Pacific trans-continental system is ac-
cepted as a fact in Wall street. 1t was re-
ported yesterday that George Gould has
made an offer to the Moses Taylor estate
to take over the entire 40, 900 shares of
stock held by that estate at $3.50 share.
The Rockefeller-Gould interests are said
to own outright 1900 shares of the stock
of the Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern Railroad. If they succeed in pur-
chasing the Moses Taylor holdings they
will have 5000 shares. This will give
them the largest holding in the road,
though not a majority. William X.
Vanderbilt owns 1900 shares. while the
other large holdings are as follows:
Frank Work, 5000 shares; First National
Bank. 10000; the Higgins estate. $4,000;
w. e. Dodge, 1900, and Samuel Sloan
about 1000 shares.
1t is said that the First National Bank
is willing to sell its shares to the Gould
Rockefeller syndicate for the same prices
that the Moses Taylor estate sells at.

four stops were made, the longest at

the train remained for twenty minutes to

her sister, Mrs. M. c.. Barber, and her
niece, Miss Ida Barber Quite a number
Of the Presidents old friends and neigh

Lon Livingston Exercises a Strong
Pull in His Behalf.

Washington, May 29-Representative
Livingston called upon the Secretary OF
War in behalf of Lieut. Cleveland Will
coxon, who was recently appointed in the
regular army. Col Livingston urged the
promotion of Lieut. Wilcoxon to the rank
of captain from the grade of second lieu
tenant, his present rank The secretary
explained that 1t was impossible to grant
the request at this time, but when fur
Their urged by Col. Livingston the score
tary said he would recommend the pro-
motion of Lieut.. Wilcoxon to be a first
lieutenant and assign him to a branch of
the service in which there are COMPARE
lively few officers ahead of him, so that
he may reach the rank of captain sooner
than otherwise. This concession was sat

coxon will be examined for a first lieu
tenancy instead of second. The secretary
added that he was not making an excep-

pointed second lieutenants, are to be ad-
vanced to the rank of first lieutenant
