General Wade Hampton.

AT the meeting of the Daughters
of the Confederacy on Monday
afternoon, April 18th, it was de-
cided that we should pass re-
solutions of respect in memory
of the late departed and Illus
trious ex-Confederate, Gen. Wade
Hampton.
Whereas, we are an organization
bound together for the purpose
of fostering devotion to the memo
ry of the Lost Cause, to assist the
veterans and to do honor to the
memory of the deceased who
fought for the Confederacy; and,
Whereas, by death we have but
now, lost one of the grandest OF
our old soldiers, a warrior and
statesman without reproach; and,
Whereas, we feel that his death
is an irreparable loss to the South,
therefore be it,
| Resolved, that we, the United
Daughters of the Confederacy,
sympathize with the United Con-
federate Veterans, who now
mourn for their dear old leader,
and who will miss him sadly at
their coming re-union. And be 1t
! further, ......
Resolved, we bow in sub
mission to the Adorable God, the
Father OF all, who has seen in
his wisdom the fitness of things,
in removing from us our beloved
old hero, therefore be it,
Resolved; that these resolutions
be spread upon the minutes OF
our order and that they be fur
nished TO each of our papers.
Respectfully submitted.

Freemen of Vermont.

During the next five weeks you will
be besieged upon all sides and asked
to vote both for and against the adop'
ton of the high license local option
law.
You will hear so many good argu-
ments both for and against the law,
that you will hardly know what is right
or what is wrong.
Under these circumstances would 1t
not be the best course to turn a deaf
ear to all the arguments of the pro
fessional agitator, and listen only to the
commands of your own heart and your
own conscience.
You are probably fully AS competent
to Judge in the matter as is your friend
the politician, or the man who wishes
to regulate your affairs-while neglect
ing his own.
Either of these gentlemen may mean
well; certainly neither one means you
any personal harm. All the politician
wants is an opportunity to hold down
a public position of some sort and all
the other man wants is to manage you
and your affairs, because he thinks you
incapable of managing them for your
self.
This is probably the first opportunity
you have ever had and the last you ever
will have, of expressing your opinion
on the question. 1t would be too bad
not to express it just this once-and to
express it in just the way you have al
ways believed about it-without a
thought of anything except this one
great question: whether it is better to
continue the present prohihitory law
under which there is an unrestricted
traffic in alcoholic beverages or,
whether it would be better to adopt
the high license local option law, under
which there would be an equal amount
of selling, but under proper legal re-
strictions.
In the matter of drinking we do not
believe it will make any difference
which law is on the statute books.
People who drink will be able to buy all
they require under either law. But in
another way it will mean a great deal
both to you and to the coming genera
tions. To adopt the high license local
option law will mean less hypocrisy,
less perjury, less law breaking, and a
proper observance of the law itself
not to mention the increased revenue
and prosperity to the state and the
towns adopting it.
Thereforesit is your duty as citizen
of Vermont to make up your mind as
to which course is right and to go to the
polls and vote accordingly, whether it
be YES or NO.

Vermont's Forward Movement,

/ For several years the churches in this
ress in numbers and strength, aud
there has been an almost entire alb
sence of revival interest. At the state
convention in Springfield last June a
desire for a better state of things was
repeatedly expressed. This culminat-
ed, after an address by Rev. II. r.
Miles of Brattleboro on Recent Revival
Experiences, in the appointment Of "A
committee of seven, with Mr.. Miles a.
chairman, ''to arrange for "A concerted
action seeking a religious revival in the
state -
The committee, composedof some OF
the most prominent pastors and lay
men, has issued letter which il asks
to have read twice in all the churches
After speaking Of the prevailing con.
viction that the work of our churches
has been inadequate and of the sin
cere desire evident for fuller and
better life, il proposes work under
the name of The Forward Movement Of
Vermont, which resembles a similar
movement inaugurated two years ago
in Maine. 1t is hoped that it will eN-
tend beyond denomlnational hounda-
ries and include the larger spiritual
life of the state. A series Of Mis-
sions'' is suggested for January and
February, in which churches shall
work in groups, the pastors assisting
each other and an evangelist being EN-
ployed 1t is also hoped TO have the
assistance of Rev. G. Campbell Nor
gan for ten days at one or two large
centers.
As preparation for this work it is
suggested that half hour of common
prayer be observed on Sundays before
the morning service, that meetings be
held in churches, and THAT the whole
people join in seeking from God the
great gift of his Spirit. y
The plans of the committee seem
timely and practical. The letter is be
fore the churches and can hardly fail
of cordial reception. We look for a
genuine forward movement in our
church life this winter. The Congre-
gationalist.

Like everything else there are gooc
seeds and bad seeds. Seeds that grow
and seeds that don't grow seeds that
yield and seeds that don't yield and a
little thought given now to the selec.
ton of the seed you'll need, will be
found time well spent, though realized
much better at the harvest if you Sc
lect the worldfamed Ferry's Seeds
the kind that always yield. For near
ly half century Ferry's Seeds have
been known and sown wherever good
crops are grown, until farmer and gar
dener alike, have learned to depend
upon their wonderful reliable growing
and yielding qualities, year after year,
to the exclusion of all others.
Unfortunately the seed business
seems to afford means for many un-
scrupulous people, who aim to blind
the unwary to quality, through little
ness of price and boastful claims; who
in reality have nothing to substantiate
their claims, no reputation at stake,
no past record as proof. 1t is better to
pay a little more for the seed and be
assured of a great deal more at the har-
vest by sowing Ferry Seeds. The 1903
Seed Annual, which is sent free, post

ing and instructive Write for it to-

With Axes to Grind.

There are certain influences working
against the referendum bill which may
be properly described as selfish and
unpatriotic. We know several lawyers,
for instance, whose clientage is mainly
among those who sell liquors illegally
or drink to excess. Such lawyers will
be inclined to maintain, so far as they
are able, the present condition of
things, and will be tempted to vote
against the adoption of the local option
bill. Many liquor dealers are perfectly
satisfied with the present law as it is
administered and will urge their pat
rons to oppose the referendum. Liquor
dealers who cannot raise the money to
pay for license and have no friends
to back them would not support a bill
so stringent as the one now before the
people for ratification or rejection. AT
first sight it seems odd that the rum
seller and prohibitionist should join
hands, but in some towns this will be
done February 3. Then again, the old
political ringer will think twice before
helping to inaugurate new regime
under healthy moral conditions. He
has learned the art of exploiting bigot-
ry, credulity and ignorance and he
does not care to 90 to school again.
And yet, after all has been said, the
fact remains that the Vermont people
realize that state prohibition is fail
ure and that radical change in our
statutes governing the liquor traffic is
inevitable. 1t will be useless to dodge
or postpone this issue. 1t will be kept
to the forefront until the disgrace of
prohibition is wiped out. The duty of
local optiouists in this crisis of our po-
litical history is PLAIN. Their organ
ization should be perfected and ex-
banded. They should see to it that
the political leaders in their various
communities declare themselves. The
issue is squarely joined. We have
come to the parting of the ways and
must choose whether to vote to main
tain the old or ring in the new and
better day for Vermont. Rutland Her

Congressional Notes.

There was another hearing in Wash
ington Friday relative to Congressman
McCall's resolution, recently brought
before Congress, allowing foreign yes
sells to enter the coastwise coal trade,
as a measure for the relief of the pres
emit coal shortage. Boston ship owners
and brokers are trying hard to counter
act McCall's action. They try to show
that there is no necessity of letting for
eign bottoms into the matter, but that
there is plenty of tonnage in American
waters now to handle all the coal that
can be obtained. The trouble is not
with the tonnage, but because of ina
bility to get the coal, say the owners
of vessels in domestic trade.
