that the report of Joaquin Millers
death was greatly exaggerated, as
Mark Twain said of his own reported
demise. That was one of the best of

May he live long to honor his church

Retirement of President Williams.


Raleigh Post :;
As fOreshadOwcd for several DAVIS
OF late Mr.. John SHELTON Williams re-
tires from the Presidency of the Sea
board system, and is succeeded bv
Mr.. }. NJ. Barr, the present Vice
President and General Manager. Mr..
Williams will become President of the
Board OF Directors, Il most RESPONSE

with his tastes and business activities.
Mr.. Williams retires from the Presi-
dency with the universal good will
and esteem OF the people of the South
Combating and overcoming Obstac-
les and difficulties which would have
overwhelmed most men, he succeeded
III making great system of the Sea-
board, and building it up to the
point where it must become if it is
not already SO, one of the money
makers OF the country. His special
consideration and strongest card we
may say, was the development of the
splendid territory served by the Sea-
board, knowing that upon such de-
anu tllt llltItiSt VI IIillIC
incident thereto onl Y could he hope
to build up his system upon IA sub
stantial and permanent basis. There
was that which inspired him in his
courageous efforts over and above
the mere business affairs OF the road.
and that is his earnest and patriotic
loyalty to the South. His faith in
his section is unbOunded and ever ac-
tive. and he bent himself in the effort
to make the SeabOard system a
prime factor i'll its upbuilding and
prosperity. He does not leave the
company's service, but his talents
and loyal energy are still to be given
to the objects which first called him
to engage in this field of endeavor
As President of the Board of Direc-
tors his opportunities will still be
great and that he will make the most
of the position no one can doubt.
Mr.. Barr. his successor, has already
made his impress upon the public as
one of the very best railroad mar
ayers in the country. The rapid i'm
provement of the physical condition
of the system of late years is due
more largely to his practical ability
and good Judgment than to any
Other. He will bring to bear in hi.

equal to all the requirements OF thu
great system. and will make it o

him from his church.
As one who upholds the sovereignty
of the churches, speak out. To be
sure the Baptist preacher has blur
dered and the public is stirred against
him. But church. not II political
paper, must call for IL pastors retire
mpnt.
Am ] a fool, therefore, to speak
out OF course that paper does not
in so many words call for his retire
ment. But to create an agitation
calculated to make his retirement
| necessary to the peace and welfare OF
the church is equal to calling for his
retirement. | gain nothing, to be

pendence and the inviolability of our
churches That may be foolish; but
| can be u fool for Chrst's sake. 10

of churches be established would be
foolish indeed.
| Again, | see an editor announce
| that president and a professor must

to make it impossible for these men

and distress the church that supports

You or ruin you

OF the right of religious denOmina
tiOns to conduct their affairs indie

gans. Is that worth while? Is it not
worth everything? College trustee:
and not newspapers must choose anC

with a mouse. OF course, Mrs. Water
man has the same fear OF a mouse
that exists among all ladies. Mr..
waterman's friends are surprised that
be is unable to handle a matter OF this
character, when be goes up against
showmen, who are supposed to have
the nerve OF iron and are usually more
troublesome than oil the mice in the
country.
All kinds OF traps have been tried
and all kinds Of bait used. In fact,
MI. Waterman says that he has gone
hungry for a week, as most Of the
food In the house has been used TO
bait the traps. He says the mouse is
evidently very dainty and he cannot
afford to buy dainties enough to entice
1t. Dogs, great and small, cats, little
and big, and Of various breeds, have
been used-and still the mouse cannot
be captured. In the meantime Water
man lies awake all night with poker
in hand, awaiting the appearance OF
the mouse, while Mrs. Waterman

Dear Sir: No man is more inter

paint on the houses you build than

painter.
And painters sometimes are sus-
pected Of being more concerned for the
look than the wear. What is your
opinion? Which pays BEST Tor a
painter to haye 4Hfs paint last three
years, Or as long as he can? He can
have It last six, If he wants 20.
Lead and oil lasts three; Devot
Ready Paint lasts six. OF course, con-
ditions affect the time of both.
Most painters know that zinc tough.
ems the lead; some use it.
Devoe Ready Paint is thoroughly
ground in oil; the proportions are
right and the mixture is thorough.
No painter need mix; he can't af'
ford TO. Hand-work can't compete
with machine work. He runs no rish

Warning to Country Girls.

From the st. Louis Christian Advocate.
We would be very glad to impress
our brothers of the country press with
the very greatdangers that lie in wait
for the multitude OF young girls that
are fiocking to our cities, especially
st. Louis, and notably at this time.
The country press Is a tremendous
power for good ami If they keep this
matter before their readers, constantly
warning all as to this open door to
ruin, many might be saved who else
were lost. The gateway to st. Louis,
our great union depot, is beset by a
thousand snares for unwary feet. Any
young girl who comes through the
gates into the midway is at once spot
ted and If it be possible the snare will
be spread in her path that she cannot
escape. No girl should come here
unless absolutely certain as to her
course. The many tempting adyer-
tisements are often mere bats for
ignorance and innocence. And II she
comes to the city ready TO enter the
first carriage whose driver purposes to
take her to a good, cheap boarding
house or to accept the first situation
offered where mo experience Re
quired,n she may as well sid adieu t.
! yassli65cence and hope when she leave
home. And, as a matter OF course
the young man is almost equally ex
posed so far as moral or ever physica
safety is concerned. II the countr.
papers will only keep these things be
fore their readers they will serve Coz
