MADE DA TE TO
MARRY BUT He
RENIGGED
YOUNG NEBRASKA FARMER AN
sWERs MATRIMONIAL AD,
BUT FINDS TOWN FULL
OF PRETTY GIRLS.

CHARLOTTE, N. c., Dec PA special
from Albemarle. N. c., says:
some time ago a young woman operative
in one of the cotton mills here got up
a correspondence with a young Nebraska
farmer through the medium Of matrimo-
NAL paper published In Chicago. Photo-
graphs were exchanged and their letters
assumed such an affectionate nature THAI
they decided that they would unite their
hearts and hands. Accordingly, the man
in the case made an appointment with his
lady love whom he had never SEEN he
arrived here last Friday but the marriage
that was scheduled TO take place did not
occur. The man on arriving here saw
so many girls that he thought so much
more likelier ana handsomer than the
one he had been corresponding with that
he changed his mind. And as yet no
marriage has taken place. The vould-bs
groom is stopping AZ the boarding house
OF the would-be bride and they have had
several confidential talks, but II Is given
out as ofleial that no marriage will occur.
The man Is Of good appearance and claims
10 own a farm about 800 miles from Lin
coin, Neb. He is still here and as his
ticket holds good until Christmas he says
he expects to stay here until that time,
viewing the country. lie never saw cot
ton stalk or pine tree until he came to
North Carolina.

SUGGESTIONS FROM
OUR CORRESPONDENTS

Is not OF God. then there is no invariable
rule and truth becomes an accident
The doctor says, IF Christian Science
be Christian, will they explain the coming
OF Christ in the flesh and His pain and
suffering7" Jesus advent in the world,
in the flesh. was TO show mortals who
believe life to be in and OF matter Gin the
fiesa) the way out Of their oarxened hu-
man beliefs. The Christ antednted the
human existence Of jesus when he said
Before Abraham was. 1 am" thus recog-
MIXING His real selfhood as the offspring
OF spirit, created IA Gods image and like
ness. with power and dominion over all
material laws and conditions. He COM
rnnnded hts followers ITO be We perfect,
as your Father I'm heaven is perfect"
Mortals can never be perfect until they
apprehend God. spirit, mind, as the
Father OF all, and hold 70 the perfect
spiritual idea, the Christ truth, as the
only reality.
In Hebrews STA we read. For as much
then as the children are partakers OF
flesh and blood. He also Himself likewise
took mart OF the same, that through death
He might destroy him that had the power
OF death. that f.. the devil" The doc
tor wishes TO know why Jesus cried out on
the cross.
Jesus appealed to God when on the
cross from his human nature, not his
Christliness; the human was in its final
struggle. tempting Him 20 believe that
matter. flesh. had life, but the spiritual
sense. clinging TO God. its Father. its
all-in-all. through the man, Jesus passed
into what the human sense calls death.
The Christ. the spiritual truth, enabled
him 20 conquer the last enemy, death.
He came forth from His own grave, the
victor over all pain. suffering, and even
death. His demonstrations were all in
dividual Like as q pioneer through the
virgin forests. He bieEed away for others
20 follow in individual demonstration.
Thus he proved the way, the life, 10 be
Christ-liseness.
The doctor makes a point OF brains be-
ing intelligence. Recently a surgical op-
GRAFTON demonstrated this belief OF mortal
mind 20 be a misnomer. seven ounces OF
a mans brain being removed without dis
turbing any Of his faculties. The portion
OF the brain removed was supposed TO
control vision. and the muscular action
Of one side OF the body. The doctor says
"everyone knows that poisonous drugs
viii XIII II enough IL put IN the system ="
This should be q warning to the people
against drugs. Jesus said, IF you be-
neve IN me. spiritual sense), IL We drink
any deadly thing II shall not hurt you

A PLEA FOR BETTER
COLLECTION LAWS
ATIANTA. e. D.. 3. ~.

ATLANTA. GA. Dec. 3, 1902.
To the Editor Of The Journal:
IN The Atlanta Journal for December 2,
see a statement that the Hon. Mayor
Mims recommends a standard OF weights
and measures for the people Of Georgia,
for the purpose OF keeping merchants and
others from cheating and swindling. He
says that It is avfuIly important
! have often heard that the only sure
way 20 cure a disease f. TO go 70 the root
OF il with the knife or other instruments.
so the way 10 get at the root OF the mer-
chants swindling is TO pass a good col
lection law that viii compel people to pay
their honest debts. Thus you would re-
move the cause. Under the existing laws
the people are in q position 10 beat the
merchants out OF their honest debts. If
the merchant cheats and swindles. as
Mayor Minis says. with which statement
DO not agree 1t is simply TO protect
himself from being defrauded OF all he
makes.
Use your best efforts. my dear mayor,
to pass good law TO protect the mer-
chant, and there win be no cause to
brand him as dishonest, for, taken as a
whole, merchants are as honest a body
OF men as Is in the state.

Scientific Theorist Declares
Mont Pelee an Electric Volcano

the dust ascend? Really, only mud, hot
water, smoke and bombs were elected.
The material descended as a thin cover
ing OF uniform thickness. And this blan-
ket was the dust precipitated by the elec>
trical vibration, still warm from crystal
lization. Had It been otherwise there
would have been about 100, 0o0, 900 tons OF
frozen mud falling in the neighborhood
OF Peiee. What Pere Mary saw was the
cloud OF decomposed matter caused by the
electric discharges.
cit Is absurd to speak of all this COM
ing out OF the volcano as It would be to
say that the smoke and sitting gases in a
fire caused by an electric wire came from
the power-houss As fuse burned out IN
the circuit. Peiee simply spanked. It set
fire 10 everything between its summit and
the sea and the surface OF the water itself
was made warm.
MAgTODONs BURIED IN ICE.
Now you see how mastodons are found
with hair and flesh intact embedded in ST.
berian lee. II the uprush of an air cur
rent would disturb the cold staturn above
a chimney what would be the effect OF the
upheaval Of a mountain mass with or
without a volcano7 1t is unnecessary to
suppose that the axis OF the earth has
changed.
The ice crop Of the Antarctic Is much
larger than that Of the North Pole, but
the volcanoes OF Erebus and Terror are
in violent activity. There are scores Of
terrestrial and celestial phenomena, from
the double tide to the cold moons that
can be explained by my hypothesis.
TT is high time that Americans. who
have a well-deserved reputation for being
the most easily bullied individuals in the
world, whatever Uncle Sam may be in his
collective capacity, should call halt on
the reckless dissemination Of preposteroua
