/ elevation of human suffering and devO-

/ loOeed, "the golden bowl was broken, "
and another old-time Southern christian
gentleman was ushered from the busy
walks of life TO the "pale nations of the
dreamless dead" Inanimate clay that
soon will return to elemental dust is All
that remains OF the loving parent, devot-
ed husband, enduring friend and skilIiul
physician whose vigilance never relaxed,
whose attention never waned as long as
the pulsing heart OF our loved ones warm
ed him that they still retained q feeble
hold on lies brittle thread. He was a
phlanthropist and a benefactor. No or
phan ever sought in vain for home be-
meath his hOspitabe roof; no man was
turned hungry from his door; no friend
sought his aid and counsel but that it was
given freely; no friendly hand held out
forsuccor was passed unheeded. He vas
a man among men-an honest mantle
nobIest work of God brave, courageous,
and generous to fault Ifhis every kind
deed could become a flower and could be
thrown by loving friends upon his grave
his dreamless dust would be entombed
beneath wilderness Of flowers. He
leaves among other relation a devoted
companion, who has shared his joys and
sorrows, his triumphs and disappoint

smallest national debts in the world.
1t Is equal to only ST. per capita The
per capita debt OF England is S14. Of
France $3.50 andof Australia SOS. Aus
tralia has the largest per capita debt
in the world. The United States debt
was largest in 1866, when the Civil war
had piled up ss.SSl, ,Oco.ooO. or s7s per
capita. The civil war debt was rapidly
paid, and in lSse it had fallen $3.50. Coz, 900
1t was increased to s1,o46, ,000, 200 by the
Spanish war, but has fallen again to
about sssaOOO.OOO.
In 1866 the average interest paid by
the government was IS per cent. Now
half the debt bears only per cent in
terest. and the United States is the
only nation in the world that has been
able TO sell per cent bond at par.
In 1866 the interest on the national
debt was sl5o,OOo.OoO year. or about
s4.29 per capita. And now the inter-
est per capita is only s. cents year
