A Printer Greatly Surprised.

Il never was so much surprised in
my life, as I was with the results of
using Chamberlain's Pain Balm" says
Henry T. Crook, pressman Of the Ashe-
vile On. c. Gazette. Il contracted a
severe case of rheumatism early last
winter by getting my feet wet. I tried
several things for it without benefit.
One day while looking over the Gazette,
I noticed that Pain Balm was positive
ly guaranteed to cure rheumatism, SO
bought a bottle of it and before using
two-thirds of it my rheumatism had
taken it's flight and I a not had a
rheumatic pain since" Sold by r. r.

Will Erect Monument To Jefferson
Davis.

Richmond, Va, Nov. 2l.-The
design Tor monument to Jefferson
DAVIS was selected at the meeting
of the Jefferson Davis Monument
Association In conjunction with the
Daughters of the Cont ederacy, i'll
session at Charleston last week.
The design is the work of Mr..
holland of this city, who was select
ed by the ladies to draw it, and
Edward Valentine is the sculptor.
The design consists of a tall central
column encircled with colonnade
comprising thirteen columns, one for
each of the thirteen seeding States.
The statue of Mr.. Davis Will be of
heroic size and stands on a pedes-
trail of its own Immediately i'll front
of the central column. A heroic
figure of Virginia will surmount the
column, aud the " hole viii form a
paved court in some central spot in
Richmond not yet definitely de-
termIned.
The contamination of this long
cherished idea, conceived by the
United Confederate Veterans or
ganization, is due to the work of
the Daughters OF the Contederacy-
At bazaar IN this city last spring
they added S15, 900 to the fund, and
now have on deposit 500, 600 for
the purpose.

Our New Leader In Congress.

John Sharp Williams, the Dem
ocratic leader in Congress, is not a
Kentuckian, but received in part
his education and married there. lie
is native of Tennessee and in his
tiftieth year. His father, who was
Colonel of the Twentieth Tennessee
Confederate Infantry, was killed at
Shiloh. After attending the Ken
lucky Military Institute, near
Frankfort, he was student at the
University of the South, Sewanee,
Tenn; the University of Virginia
and the University of Heidelberg,
Germany. He was educated for the
bar and practiced law in Memphis
until 1878, when he moved to
Yazoo City, Miss, which has been
his residence since. He was elected
to Congress in 1875, and is now
serving his sixth consecutive term.
His advancement to party leader
ship has been gradual but steady, as
the result of dilligent work, backed
by a strong character and well-dis-
ciplined mind. Few men have a
frmer hold upon the confidence of
their associates, and every indication
favors the assurance that the Dem
ocrats in Congress have made a wise
selection. He is courteous in de-
bate and judicious in the line of his
opposition, but has shown himself
firm and able in the debates which
have arisen. In recent discussion
with Mr.. Payne, chairman of the
Committee of Ways and Means,
who charged that he was against the
reciprocity treaty, he effectively
showed that lie was not against the
principle, but objected to few de-
tails which he sought to remedy by
amendment. After enumerating
number of reciprocity treaties in
the past executed or approved by
the Democrats, he concluded his
remarks on this topic with the fol
lowing broad expressions of Dem
ocratic principle and policy, well
worthy Of reproduction:
"These are precedents. Let us
have more of them. Let us goi

Several years ago, little girl by
the name of Virginia O'Hanlon
wrote to the editor of the New York
Sun as follows:
Dear Editor-I am eight years
old. Some of my little friends say
there is no Santa Clans. Papa says,
If you see it in the Sun, it's So
Please tell me the truths there a
Santa Clans?"
To the above the editor Of the
Sun replied at once:
Virginia, your little friends are
wrong. They have been affected by
the skepticlsm of skeptical age.
They do not believe except they see.
They think that nothing can be
which is not comprehensive by
their little minds. All minds,
whether they be mems or children's
are little. In this great universe of
ours man is a mere insect, an ant,
in his intellect, as compared with
the boundless word about him, as
measured by the intelligence capable
of grasping the whole of truth and
knowledge.
Yes. Virginia, there is a Santa
Claus. He exists as certainly
as love and generosity aud
devotion exist, and you know that
they abound and give to your life
its highest beauty and Joy. Alas!
how dreary would be the world if
there were no Santa Claus! 1t
would be as dreary as if there were
no Virginias There would be no
childlike faith then, no poetry, no
romance to make tolerable this ex-
istence. We should have no enjoy
ment, except in sense and sight.
The eternal light with which child
hood fills the world would be ex-
tiDguished.
Not believe in Santa Claus! Yon
might as we'll not believe in fairies!
You might get your papa to hire
men to watch in all the chimneys on
Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus,
but even if they did not see Santa
Claus coming down, what would
that prove? Nobody sees Santa
Claus, but that is no proof that
there is no Santa Claus. The most
real things in the world are those
that neither children nor men can
see. Did you ever see fairies
dancing on the lawn? Of course
not, but that's no proof that they
are not there. Nobody can conceive
or imagine all the wonders I'M
seen and unseeable in the world.
You may tear apart the baby's
rattle and see what makes the noise
inside, but there is veil covering
the unseen world which not the
strongest man, nor even the united
strength of all the strongest men
that ever lived, could tear apart.
Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, ro
nance, can push aside that curtain
and view and picture the supernal
beauty and glory beyond. Is it all
real? All, Virginia, in all this
world there is nothing else real and
abiding.
No Santa Claus. Thank God!
he lives, and he lives for ever. A
thousand years from now Virginia,
nay, ten times ten thousand years
from now, he will continue to make
glad the heart Of childhood.

The Atlanta Constitution of the

The Atlanta Constitution of the
18th inst. made some good suggest
ions for the democratic platform fol-
1904. Ii may be little difficult to
shape a platform to meet the needs
of the time. But. isn't it about as
difficult to find a man to fit the
platform? This, in our opinion, is
the most important thing. If a
mistake be made in the platform ii
can be remedied. If a mistake be
made on the other hand we'll be in
it. Make haste slowly.
The above is from the Crockett
County Sentinel, which seems to
think the man more important than
the platform. The nominee, of
course, is supposed to be consulted
in the formation of platform, and
he is in honor bound TO carry out its
provisions. The platform is dec
laration of principles for which the
party stands, and the agents to car
ry out those principles should be of
secondary consideration. The plat
form 3 the thing. If you haven't
got a sound one to stand on you're
in bad shape to win, however pop
ular your candidate may be.
