THE ANSWER.

A rose in tatters on the garden path,
Cried out to God and murmured 'gainst His wrath
Because a sudden wind at twilights hush
Had snapped her stem alone of all the bush.
And God, who hears both sun-dried dust and sun,
Had pity, whispering to that luckless one
SISTER, in that thou sayest did not we'll
And voices heardst thou when thy petals fell?"
And the rose answered, 'In that evil hour
A voice said, Father, wherefore falls the flower?
For 10, the very gossamers are still
And voice answered Son. by Allahs Wilt"
Then softly rainmist on the sward
Came to the the answer of the Lord:
SISTER. before smote the dark in twain,
Ere yet the stars one another plain,
Time, Tide and Space, bound until the task
That thou shouldst fail and such an one should ask.
Whereat, the wthered flower, all content,
Died as they die whose days are innocent;
While he who questioned why the flower fell
Caught hold OF God and saved his soul from hell
-Rudyard Kipling

THE INFLUENCE OF ALTITUDE.

Altitude counts when it comes TO the development
of higher civilization, to superior type of man
The sea level descendant, however successful COM
mercialy, is not in the same class with him who
boasts ancestry of greater altitude 1t probably
intended that humanity should not live from genera
tion to generation in the low places Of earth Degen
GRAFTON follows. Kansas averages about the proper
altitude The latest United States census gives us
some data upon which We may calculate the iniu
of high and low places of domicie upon the
public health this country only onethird Of the
white population live within 500 feet of the level
of the sea- On the contrary, more than two-thirds
CT all the negroes of the country live at that low
level As for the high elevations for domcile it is
found that nearly nine per cent of the whites and
only per of the negroes live at altitude
more than I 500 feet above the level Of the
AS a consequence than twothirds Of the
whites live where the mean annual temperature is
under 50 degrees Nearly thirds of the negroes
live where it is 60 degrees 1t is curious fact
that majority of all the people of the United States
live in the region draining into the Gulf of Mexico
A large majority of the negroes but only about
third of the foreign-born population, live in the
region. But taking the population whole
it is found that the highest civilization lives in the
highest places. There is question but that
were naturally made to live on the hills.
Some individual authorities assert that the
only places fit to live in the earth at high
elevations where fevers and malarial troubles
unknown. Unfortunately, We cannot all live where
we would like to.

BILL ARP"

The thousands of persons through
out the country who for thirty-fve
years have enjoyed the writings OF
Mai. Charles H. Smith, c"Bill Arp,")
the gentle humorist, sage and philos-
opher, will be panied to learn that he
is critically i'll at his home in Carriers
vile. Ga. He has been in a semi
conscious state several days, from
which he can be aroused only for a
few minutes at a time, and the end is
momentarily expected. A serious
operation was performed on the pa
tient last week, this being resorted
toas alast expedient, but the chances
OF recovery do not appear to have
been increased. The Atlanta COnsti-
tuition OF Sunday says OF him:
The entire Southland stands, meta
phorically, by the bedside of its great
ly beloved "Bill Arp" hoping and
praying he may come out victorious
in his gallant struggle for life.
1t is no mere tribute to his genius
this tender solicitude and sympathy
which is manifested on every hand
but genuine love for the man who has
impressed his personality SO indelibly
upon his generation. The keen humor,
the homely philosophy, the rare good
sense which marked his writings in
the stress of war and during the Bit
ter days of the reconstruction period
won him fame, but it has been his
kindly and genuine humaneness in
the latter days of the peace and pros
perity, to which he contributed in no
small degree, which has done most
to make his placein the hearts OF the
people.
From one end of the South to the
other the prayer goes up that he
may be spared.
LATER-Maj. Smith is dead, the
end coming at twenty minutes to ten
o'clock Monday night.

A Palm for !. Shelton Williams.
Atlanta Constitution.

AllitHld CONSTITUTION.
In the midst of the wonder and
congratulations following the late
Seaboard Air Line deal it should not
be forgotten that the one man who
brought to pass the conditions that
permitted and promoted it is Hon.
j. SHELTON Williams, president of the
Seaboard company.
When he started to build the first
road of what he afterwards developed
into one OF the greatest of the south
eastern systems he was faced by
strong adverse interests and most
discouraging predictions. required
man of steel nerves, stolid faith
and tireless energy to battle with
such enemies. But the fight that Mr..
Williams at once put up and has
continued with the persistence of a
zealot has been the admiration of the
railway world for years.
In the history of his progress he
has had to meet, compromise with
or conquer some of the mogul inter
ests OF modern railway financiering
and yet he has won more battles
than he has lost and now stands
where his ancient foes cannot touch
him and where the magnates of his
world give him victor's welcome.
Mr.. Williams deserves from the
southern people in particular their
unanimous vote of thanks for having
built up a great developing railway
system by his own skill and now for
Joining it to the mastodon railway
combination Of the globe.

Who Killed Wyatt?
TarbOrO SOutherner.

TarbOrO SOutherner.
When Col Beasley made his talk
to the Confederate veterans in the
court room on the 10Th, he stated
that Gen Agnus, now editor of the
Baltimore American, said that at
the battle of Bethel Wyatt was kill
ed by Colonel. afterwards General,
Fitzpatrick, OF Ku LUX fame. Ac-
cording to Gen. Agnus, Fitzpatrick
was wounded and left in the church
which Wyatt, r. H. Bradley, Geo.
Williams andJ. H. Thorpe volunteer
ed to burn. He, Agnus, had gone to
rescue Fitzpatrick. When these men
started on their mission, whose i'm
port he and his wounded companions
realized, Fitzpatrick said, you load
and I'll fire. This he did as the men
advanced and one dropped.
Fortunately, when Col. Beasly made
this statement there were present the
two surviving members of the volun-
teer squad, Messrs. Bradley and
Thorpe, and they expressed their
dissent.
W iiCl1 was oNtl GU C1IC SuS-
gestion of several, the Edgecombe
Guards were assembled and Capt.
Thorpe, with Mr. Bradley recounted
the fight at Bethel. Wyatt. he said,
was not killed from the church, but
from the bushes or low timber on the
right of the opening; that there could
be no doubt about this; the wound,
the direction they were moving, their
own observations all proved this;
that he and his other comrades had
more than once talked over their
charge to the church which they were
to fire, and each and every one of the
survivors of the volunteers called for
on that occasion had agreed in that
the fatal bullet was fired from the
right.
When it is remembered that Wyatt
and his companions were all members
OF the Bethel Regiment and also of
the Edgecombe Guards, designated
as Company a in that regiment, the
appropriateness as relating to the
same organization, but of different
men and of another generation is
readily seen.
The Colonel should disillusion his
friend, Gen. Agnus, of the American.

TURNER FOR GOVERNOR.

While the Landmark isn't the
authorized mouthpiece of States
ville's candidate we make bold to
say that he is running because he
wants the office and because the
people want him to have it. He is in
line of promotion, has laudable
ambition to go up higher, and has
the capacity to fill the place. And
while We bear no i'll will to any other
candidate, wishing them all well, we
think it our duty to give their friends
the straight tip that Statesville's
candidate is going to win.-States-
vile Landmark.
The West is entitled to the Gov
ernor next time and certainly no
ADLER or worthier man could be
named than Wilfred D. Turner.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

By local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infamed you have a rumbng
sound or imperfect hearing. and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and I'M
less the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condition.
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by Catarrh which is
nothing but an iuamed condition of the
mucous services.

Enforce the Vagrant Law.
Atlanta Constitution.

The amended vagrant act is now
the law of the State and imposes sol
emn duties upon the constabulary
and judiciary of the State, under
their oaths, and which they ought to
perform with every diligence and inn
partiality.
The law is plain and easy to under
stand by every peace officer in the
State. 1t defines who are Migrants
to the eye OF the careful officer and
puts the burden of proof Oh the sus-
pect to satisfy the court that he is
not subject to the law. The law is
almost automatic in it's operative
character and only needs the initi-
ative of fearless official to set it in
motion.
The manner of the passage of the
law shows that the people of the
State are dead tired of supporting a
mass of measly Migrants. few or more
OF whom infest every community in
the Commonwealth. And first of all
it must be understood that this law
is not wholly aimed at the negro
loafer and tramp. 1t was enacted and
intended to apply to the Migrants of
any race without discrimination.
There is less excuse for the white
vagrant than for the nomadic or
parasitical negro. We rather expect
the negro to shirk work when he can
subsist in any other way, but we also
expect white men to have the self-re-
spect of their race and prefer work
rather than the common repute of
being drones and dead beats.
Loafing white men are an excuse
for lOafing negroes and it would be
neither honest nor lawful to wink at
the white vagrant. no matter ii he
should be sort of privileged char
acter about town, and put the screws
of the law to the equally recognized
| negro roustabout who fetches and
carries for the white loafers.
In this matter the city and county
officials throughout the State should
knuckle down to their obligations
and get busy. Large enterprises in
the State are crying for labor. In
the meantime able-bodied men para
sites are in every town living from
the wages and home-earnings of wives
and children. Hunt them out and
tell them that the new motto OF
Georgia is ''work or walk" There is
a job for every man in honorable
labor. Ii he refuses to take it, let the
State furnish him work at dishonor-
able labor and keep him at it until
the lazy itch is sweated out Of him.
| The Constitution feels that the
time is opportune to urge municipal
and county officers to vie with each
other in cleaning out the Migrants
and let it go abroad to all the world
that Georgia is not runninga loafer'
louisiana. Then the vagabond will
hunt for and catch up with the jol
he has been lodging for many years
and the tramp will take notice and
keep off our Georgia grass.
