COLLEGE EDUCATION.
"Old Gorgan Graham" to His Son
 Who Is at Harvard.

Dear Pierrepont: Your ma got back safe this morning and she wants me to be sure and tell you not to over study, and 1 want to tell you not to under-study. What we're really send ing you to Harvard for is to get lit- tie of the education that's so good anc plenty there. When it's passed around you don't want to be bashful, but reach right out and take big helping every time, for l want you to get your share. You'll find that education's about the only thing ly- ing about loose in this world, and that it's about the only thing a fellow can have as much of as he's willing to haul away. Everything else is screwed down tight and the screw driver lost.
 I'm anxious that you should be a good scholar, but I'm more anxious that you should be a good clean man. And if you graduate with a sound conscience, l shan't care much if there are few holes in your Latir. There are two parts of college edu- cation-the part that you get in the schoolroom from the professors, and the part that you get outside of it from the boys. That's the really inn portant part For the first can only make you a scholar, while the second can make you man.
 Education is a good deal like eat ing-a fellow can't always tell what particular thing did him good, but he can always tell which one did him harm. After square meal of roast beef and vegetables, and mince pie and watermelons, you can't say just which ingredient is going into mus cle, but you don't have to be very bright to figure out which one started the demand for the painkiller in your insides, or to guess, next morning, which one made you believe in per sonal devil, the night before. And so, while fellow can't figure out to an ounce whether it's Latin or algebra or history or what among the solids that is building him up in this place or that, he can go right along feeding them in and betting that they re not the things that turn his tongue fuzzy. It's down among the sweets, among his amusements and recreations, that he's going to find his stomach ache, and it's there that he wants to go slow and to pick and choose.
 Does college education pay? Does it pay to feed in pork trimmings at five cents pound and draw out nice, cunning, little ''country'' sau- sages at twenty cents pound at the other end? Does it pay to take steer that's been running loose on the range and living on cactus and petri- fled wood till he's just bunch of pdlpeu Wire ana sOle-leather, and feed him corn till he's just a solid hunk of porterhouse steak and oleo oil?
 You bet it pays. Anything extra that trains a boy to think and to think quick pays; anything that teaches the boy to get the answer be- fore the other fellow gets through biting his pencil, pays.
 College doesn't make fools; it de- velops them. It doesn't make bright men; it develops them. A fool will turn out fool whether he goes to college or not, though he'll probably turn out different sort of fool.- From 'Letters from aSelf-Made Mer- chant to His Son." by George Horace Lorimer.

to claim a single victim. Surely the
Northern cause, in the mind of this
historian, was blessed by the God of
Battles to a greater degree than even
the most fanatical abolitionst ever
dreamed of claiming.
I'm all fairness, from the records
compiled by the United States govern
ment, from sources. of information
whose accuracy cannot be challenged,
without passion or prejudice. let us
look at this question and see df the
historian has not, unwittipgly, per-
haps, brought cruel and groundless
charge against a whole people. At the
outset allow me to say that no man
who has the love of truth in his heart
will deny that there was suffering and
privation among the prisoners of war
held by the Confederate government.
Aawhole people was in travail"
Then Mr.. Wright dealt with the his
tory of the exchange and pa
role of prisoners, and their
treatment in both Southern and North
ern prisons. He cited history at
length, showing the condition of the
men who fought during the long years
of the sanguinary STRUGGLED in captivity.
No Intention TO Engender Bitter
"If have left the impression on
your minds" said Mr.. Wright, that
it has been my intention to revive
the bitter animosities engendered by
those four terrible years which fell
as a blight on the Southern people,
then, l have signally failed in my pur-
pose. 1 am proud of the steadfast
devotion to principle and unfaltering
purpose exhibited by men on both sides
of that great struggle, I am proud of
the fact that our government despite
its many imperfections still cherishes
those great principles Of liberty which
is the heritage of the Anglo-Saxon
race, / am proud of the fact that this
country of ours is great and power
full and respected among the nations
of the earth. But proud as / am of
these things l have never yet deemed
ii incumbent on the Southern people
to stand mute under any charge which
falsifies their history and traduces
their honor.
IAN impatient and a material age
cries. Away with these memories and
groupings in the pasti But who knows,
old soldiers, when the day may come
when the people of this nation will
have to turn back to the sufferings
and 'heroism of the Confederate SOL
dier as an example to rekindle the
tagging fires Of patriotism and to teach
anew the doctrine, which they so glor-
iously exemplified, that there are
things higher than the acquisition of
wealth. that there are things better,
even. than success itself.
God grant that as each recurring
year brings to us this day, in every
city and town and hamlet in this grand
old commonwealth there shall be as
senbled such an audience as this,
bearing witness to the fact that MEM
Dry of the valour and patriotism of
the Confederate soldier shall never die,
shall never fade away"

An Absolute Necessity
in Many Cases.
A DECREASE IN WEIGHT
FREQUENTLY INDICATES
A DECLINE.
Our Modern Rebuilder, VinOl,
Will Help You Do It.
THE WAY 1T ACTS ON A DE-
PLETED CONSTITUTION Is
SIMPLY MARVELLOUS.

Are you getting thin? If you are
you had better watch yourself. Take
Vinol. 1t will build you up quickly
and surely.
A healthy man does not vary much
from year to year in his weight
This is as it should be. Vinol enables
the organs of the body to renew flesh,
muscle tissue, bone structure, and at
tends to purifying the great vital cur
rent of the human system, the blood.
Vinol contains the active curative
properties of Cod-Liver Oil in highly
wonderful tonic that we have ever had
anything to do with.
Vinol acts upon the stomach in a
beneficial way, enabling it to obtain
for itself the necessary ingredients
from the food that is taken into it to
build up the pure healthy body and in
crease the weight.
Mr.. d. M. Stufell, who is a WELL
known passenger trainman on the
Boston and Maine Railroad, suffered
rs many railroad men do, with kidney
and other troubles. He writes as fol-
lows:
"My kidneys troubled me a great
deal, my bowels were very irregular,
had great distress in my stomach, suf-
fered with bilious headaches, had no
appetite, could not sleep nights, and
was losing flesh rapidly. 1 began to
take Vinol, l am now on my third bot
tie, and it is doing wonders for me.
My kidneys are better, my bowels are
again regular, my stomach no longer
troubles me, and no more headaches,
and as for appetite, don't speak of it /;
/ sleep like a top and have gained
thirteen pounds. You can count on
me always to recommend Vinol as the
king of medicines"
With many such testimonials as
the above coming before US, 1t is not
strange that we endorse VinOl as
strongly as we do. We unheSitat-
iAgly agree to return to any one
who has taken Vinol and is not
satisfied that it has accomplished all
that we claim for it every cent that
they have paid us for this remedy.

After an exciting contest the Chat

Hussars in the third and deciding
rife match of the series last night.
The score at the end of the match
stood: Chatham Artillery, 1,156; Geor-
gia HussaTs, 1145. the artillerymen win
ming by the narrow margin of II
points, in a total of more than a thou
sand.
The match was shot in the Hussars'
gallery, and was witnessed by a large
crowd of friends of both teams. From
first to last it was interesting and at
almost every stage it was arybody's
match. The excitement toward the
end of the match was high, and the
interest When it was learned that
the Chathams had piled up the high

gave three luSty cheers for the victors,

men each, ten shots being fired by each
man. German ring targets and Pc
tiers cartridges were used. The scores
made were good, averaging somewhat
higher than those in the previous
matches. The utmost good feeling
prevailed, and it is probable that other
matches will be arranged for the flu
ture, and that the trophy won by the
Chathams may yet be wrested from
them by the troopers, who have not
yet been fully convinced of the supe-
riority of the Chathams in the matter
of craftsmanship.
The scores made in the match follow:

ARTILLERY TO BATTLE.
Chathams and Fort screven to Meet
Saturday Afternoon.

1t has been finally determined
that the Chatham Artillery of the light
artillery of the Georgia State Troops
and Fort Screven of the heavy artil-
lery of the United States army will
meet next Saturday afternoon for a
battle. The arrangements have near
ly been perfected, and both sides seem
anxious. Just what chance the ex-
perts of the field guns will have with
twenty-one feet disappearing artists is
not known, but the light battery folks
think they have the best of it.
Inasmuch as they will leave their
guns at home, it is hoped, and are go
ing to fight it out on the ball diamond
there will be no dead and wounded,
and no doubt the game will be an in
teresting one. The Fort Screven boys
have pretty good team and have DEM
onstrated that recently. The Chat
hams think, however, that they can
put on a few touches that the Y. M.
c. A. boys did not have, and will make
the results entirely different. The
clash ought to be a good one, If all
that both teams say is true. When the
smoke clears away there will be a dis
appointed ball team of military men.
