NY lIleuuS Will permit lie TO
leave unnoticed the insolent re-
marks signed "Uncle John" in
last weeks PRESS. They were ex-
ceedingly ill-advised. l enjoy
controversy but cannot stoop to
mud-slinging. Uncle John has
hopelessly besmirched himself,
and the exhibition was literally
disgusting. He is in sore need Of
intellectual guidance and in
struction, but / trust there is a
faint possibility that he will yet
build up self respect. The coarse
utterances, the cruel reply, the
unmanly remark-of such is the
unclean brood that nestles in the
soul, tainting the springs of ac-
ton. must firmly decline to
notice "Uncle John" further.

"The old adage that, All is fair
in love and war has been accep-
ted by many men as true, and a
certain class of politicians have
added politics to the list of events
in which all is fair. The PRESS
does not accept the saying as lit
orally true in either case. The
man who is willing to sacrifice
sense of honor in order to win any
cause is dishonest, and he will
prove dishonorable in other
things
This is from a recent issue of
the PRESS In the main, all
forms of dishonesty arise from
desire. Necessity may prompt
an act seemingly dishonest, but
more often it is mere greed.
Money, as the world runs, is
might, and he who asserts that he
despises it, is either an idealist,
an imbecile or hypocrite. For,
is it not written, Man shall not
live by bread alone" There is
that which is too sacred for sale.
Principles should be above price.
To him who would seek to pur-
chase or sell the one or the other,
the reply should be that of the
apostle to Simon Magus.
To woman it is absolutely in
comprehensive that a man should
have his price, should ever sur
render his manhood. In a sense,
mans principles are his natu-
raj characteristics, even as the
dog holds a reputation for fidelity
an ass for perseverance, lion for
nobility, etc. But, no animal
can be paid to surrender it's char
acteristics, save "homo sapiens. :"
Catch a half-wild, hungry dog
and feed it, and you will, in all
probability, have a faithful COM
panion for life. Nine cases out
of ten, you may catch a barefoot
ed, ragged tramp, help him with
the meager contents of your
purse, feed and clothe him, and
give him start, and when he be-
comes sleek and fat he will ride
rough-shod over you, asperse your
character, financially ruin you,
and sacrifice you upon the altar
of his aspirations.

Oh, for a return of the faith

U. ID. c. Memorial Exercises.

At a o'clock Tuesday, June Bird,
the U. d. G. held services to
commemorate the birth of Jeffer-
con Davis, and to place their
tribute of flowers on the graves of
the Confederate dead. The Cum
berland Presbyterian church had
been fittingly decorated with pot
plants and Confederate flags.
Here the following program was
rendered:
Praise God.
Invocation-Rev. A. L. Barr.
Quartette-A Tear for the Com
yades.
Recitation
Trio--Set the Flag on Their
Graves.
Reading-Lines from Father
Ryan. Tenting Tonight on the
Old Camp Ground.
Address-Rev. f. X. Starr.
Benediction-Rev. A. l.. Barr.
Special mention must be made
Of Mrs. Walter Robinson, the
sweet singer, whose subdued,
sympathetic voice touched a re-
sponsive chord in the hearts of
her hearers. DR.. Starts address
was a eulogy on the memory of
the matchless statesman, Chris
tian, soldier and citizen, Jefferson
Davis, the first and only president
Of the Confederacy, whose only
offence was that of being loyal to
bis people and true to his princi-
Piles of local self government, as
ordained by our forefathers to be
the corner stone of our govern
ment. He showed how Jefferson
Davis had made some of the
brightest pages in American his
tory. How the splendor of his
valor brought him renownd on
the bloody plains of Buena Vista,
Honor wreathed her brightest
laurels for him while he sat in the
counsils of the nation; and when
be was ruler of the new Confeder-
scy, fame reached out her imper-
jshable hand and placed a crown
Of glory there. DR.. Starr told of
his visit to the chieftain after the
close of the war, and how he,
Davis, became a sacrifice to all
the misfortunes following defeat,
Offering himself as scape-goat to
bear the so-called sins of his
people, suffering for years the ig-
pominy of political ostracism,
rather than bend the knee"
Thus, when the summons came to
depart this life, he died, "a man
without country, a man without
o home" following in the foot
steps of Him who had gone before
to prepare a place for him, a city
which hath foundation, whose
builder and maker is God. In
conclusion, DR.. Starr told of the
glory of the Confederate soldier
and spoke in glowing terms of the
heroism of the noble women of
the South. After the benedic-
tion the U. ID. G. and friends re-
paired to the cemetery. Here
Rev. e. B. Witherspoon led in a
brief prayer, commencing the
living and dead to the keeping of
the Father who doeth all things
well.
With reverent step they passed
from grave to grave, leaving a
silent token of fond remembrance,
for would it not be blame for us,
if their memories part from our
land and heart; and a memory to
them and shame to us?

Criminal Executions In Prussia SEN

Seventeenth century methods still
prevail in Prussia in the matter of the
execution OF criminals. The man sen
fenced there to suffer capital punish
mcut is led to the fatal block, and his
head is chopped Off with identcally the
same sort Of Ak rs that which was
uscd to put a period TO the career OF
Charles |. in the Tower OF London or
that fatcful 30th of January 2J2 years
age. Practically the only difference
between the twentieth century execu
ton and that of the time OF Cromwell
is that the condemned Is not put &c
death publicly.
In many parts OF the German empire
the guillotine has taken the place OF
the galiows and the block. but in Prus

ciously TO the old fashions. and not
the rope nor the automatic knife noi
the power of electricity has been able &c
