THE NOBLE FIFTY-Slx.

Iue IOuttu oI July, TUE anniversary
Of American independence. brings to
mind the glorious and immo rial docu-
ment whice gave us our liberty. j. d.
Sweeney in the Red Bluff News says,
I'VE know too little of those noble men.
the noble ffty-six-who dared to
sign the declaration that shook from
center to circumference the established
order OF government and set the Star of
Liberty high in the zenith.
They were men who had nothing to
gain aud everything to lose in the
struggle. Many were rich for the
times. George Washington was the
richest man in the Colonies. being
worth $3.50, 900; Charles Carroll was
second, with a fortune of $500, 900.
John Hancock was the wealthiest man
of Massachusetts, and Lewis Morris of
New York.
Forty-nine of the signers were born
in the Colonies, two in England, two in
Ireland, two in Scotland and one in
Wales, so all were thoroughly versed in
the rights and privileges Of British
subjects. Their average age was As
years. Benjamin Franklin and Stephen
Hopkins were the oldest, being 20;
Edward Rutledge aud Thomas Lynch,
Jr., the youngest. q. John Hancock
was 40 and Thomas Jefferson 33.
There were seventeen who, like Benjs.
min franklin, had became famous in
science and letters; sixteen were law
yers, nine merchants. five physicians.
five planters, three farmers and one
clergyman.
Eighteen were graduates from Ameri-
can universities, three from Cambridge,
q from Edinburgh; twenty.one had
q liberal education, eleven were self
taught, but by no means the least
learned. Among them was Roger
Sherman, who was the ablest lawyer
in the Convention, and a man of excel.
lent judgment.
None had titles, none were states
men as then understood. They sought
no fame by speeches. but sat with closed
doors.
Three, George Washington, John
Adams and Thomas Jefferson, became
President. Many served long and we'll
in the Presidents Cabinet, the Senate
and the House of Representatives.
Forty-seven lived to see independence
an accomplished fact seven years later.
Forty-three were alive when the Con-
stitution of the United States was
adopted. Three lived more than fifty
years after the memorable Fourth Of
July of 1776. Thomas Jefferson and
John Adams died on the same day.
July A, 1926. Charles Carroll lived six
years longer. He it was who signed his
name CHARLES Carroll. of Carroll
town" that there might be no mistake
in case of failure. He died at the age
of rs, the last Of the immortal fifty six.
Little did these heroes foresee of the
liberty enjoyed and the greatness
achieved by the little bark launched
one-hundred and twenty-seven years
ago. Let us not bring discredit to the
work they 30 we'll began.

Builder. of the state.


who builds the state? Not he whose
power,
Rooted in wrong. in gold intrenched,
Makes him the regent of the hour;
The eternal light cannot be Q~uenched-
This shall outlive his little span;
Shine fierce upon each tainted seneme'
Shall show where shame blots all the
plan,
The treachery in the dazzling dream.
he builds the state who builds on truth.
Not he who. crushing toward his aim,
Strikes conscience from the throne ana
ruth
To win a dark. unpiteous fame.
Not he, though master among men
Empire and ages all his thought
Though like an eagle be his ken;
Down to the ground shall all be
brought.
For this 1 hold and shall for aye.
TIL heaven sends death. that they who
SOW
Hate and the blood Of brothers. they
Shall harvest hate and want n woe,
The curse of earth's dread agonies
Whereto they added in their hour
And all the UNDECIDED tears and cries
They caused In lust Of lawless power.
He builds the state who to that task
Brings strong, clean hands and purpose
pure.
Who wears not virtue as a mask:
He builds the state that shall endure
The state wherein each loyal son
Holds as a birthright from true sires
Treasures of honor nobly won
And freedoms never dying fires.

Declaration
Of independence
Cannot be Saved.

One hundred years from now the
parchment on which the Declaration of
Independence is written will be a blank.
The precious writing has not only
half disappeared already, but is steadi-
" containing to fade. Though nov
locked up in a steel box. where not SO
much as q ray of light can get at it, the
most interesting and valuable docu-
ment in the National archives is DOOM
ed. The Committee OF the Academy OF
Sciences which examined il the other
day expressed to Secretary Hay this
view, while notwithstanding any pro-
ject of restoration"
Nevertheless, it is by no means GER
tain that an effort to "restore" it will
not be made before long as a choice be-
tween evils. Hazardous though such
an experiment might be, it would be
preferable to a certainty of absolute
loss.
The Declaration would be in as per-
feet condition to-day as when it was
written but for an outrageous assault
that was committed upon it's precious
text in 1923. In that year a copper
plate was made from it, aud from which
all of the authentic extant replicas Of
the Declaration have been printed.
The copper plate copy, which every
body has seen, vas admirable. 1t re-
produced the document to such per-
lection that not a shading nor a whisker
of a letter was missing. Bnt it ruined
the original. The wetting dissolved, to
some extent, the ink, and. incidentally,
the parchment itself was seriously
damaged. Hence the progressive deter
i~oration which has followed.
How far the process of copper-plste
reproduction above described was re-
sponsible for the trouble is proved by
the fact that Thomas Jefferson's rough
draft OF the Declaration is as good as
new to-day. the ink in which it was
written being perfectly black. The
Articles OF Confederation of the Colon
les likewise look almost as if they were
written yesterday. They are on q long
roll OF fine ~sheepskin parchment, the
sheets of which are sewn together with
the utmost delicacy.
The text of the Declaration is even
now fairly legible in most OF it's parts,
but nearly all Of the signatures have
vanished. This circumstance necessari-
ly gives great value to the original and
perfect copper plate. which is preserved
in the archives of the Department of
State. Not for any ordinary considera
ton, however, would the Government
permit ever one more print to be made
from it. It has been reproduced in the
shape of an electrotype. from which
any future copies that may be required
will be struck off when Congress
chooses so to direct.
The original Constitution OF the
United States is in an excellent state OF
preservation, though the edges of the
paper Oh which it is engrossed are
somewhat broken. owing TO the fact
that the document used to be kept roll
ed 10 a cylindrical tin box. To prevent
further damage from this cause 1T was
transferred, abont ten years ago. TO a
portfolio. expressly made for il. TIE
text of the Constitution is to-day per-
feet in all respects. save that the ink OF
the words I'VE. the People," 10 great
letters, with which it begins. is some
what crumbled by the rolliDg.-New
York Press.

Semitic. and there Is this ground for the
stat ment that he has been charged in
certain quarters with anti-Semitism, and In
others with exhibiting too great bias in
favor of the Jews. That IL the fate to be
expected by an attempt to give an i'm
martial account of holly controverted
subject. Mr. La2are's position Is this,
that. while he considers anti-Semitism

in history, still the view must have had a

nti-Semitism, or, az il may more accurately
be termed. anti-Judaism, the author con-
siders at length in fourteen chapters, the
purport of which is summed up in Il final
chapter,
What specific virtue or what specific
vice, II any, has earned for the Jew uni
versal enmity? Why was he ill-treated
and disliked equally and in turn by the
Alexandrians and the Romans, ny the
Persians and the Arabs, by the Turks and
the Christian nations? Mr. Lazare thinks
that he has put his finger on the right answer
when he asserts that everywhere up TO our
own day, the Jew was an unsociahle being.
Why was he unsociable? Our author
answers: because he was exclusive, and
his excusiveness was both political and
religious, or rather he held fast to his politi-
cal and religious cult, to his law" Now

all through history we see conquered people
submit to the laws Of the conqueror, though
they may guard their own faith and he

OBITUARY.


OAASpSS
Thomasville. Ga, April 27.-Rev. A.
w. Clisby died at his home here this
morning at rs years of age. His death
was the result of a fall at his home a
few days ago, which gave him a very
severe shock. He has been almost to-
tally blind for several years.
DR.. Chsby was pastor of the Thorn
asville Presbyterian Church from 1856
to about 1870, when he moved to Ma
con, where he was pastor of the First
Presbyterian Church for a number of
years. When too far in years to con-
tinue that work, he came back to
Thomasville and preached to several
small churches in the neighborhood as
long as his strength permitted.
At a member of the board of direc-
tors of Columbia Theological Seminary,
championing the cause of DIR. Woodrow
when he was prosecuted for his teach
ing on the doctrine of evolution, he es-
tablished his reputation as the greatest
ecclesiastical lawyer in the Southern
Presbyterian Church. His champion
ing what he thought was right in the
face of all the odds that could be ar
ranged against him was a character
istic of his life.
DR.. CliSby was a very thorough He
brew scholar, and his comprehension OF
the great fundamental principles
taught in the Bible enabled him to be
what Judge A. H. Hansell says of him:
THE most instructive minister l have
ever listened to-" His style was in
structive, rather than persuasive, and
he said of himself that his work was
that of sower and not a reaper. His
theology was pre- minently what is
called sound, and the dominant idea
with him about the Savior and His
kingship, His majesty and the rever-
ence due Him as such, as contrasted
with the familiarity which character
ICES so many of the Sunday-school
songs that are popular. He had a
thus saith the Lord for every word
and act of his life, and his character
being thus founded and his thoughts
thus guided, made him, indeed, one of
the strongest of men.
Mr.. Clisby was a native of New
England, but came South while boy,
and was intensely Southern in all his
feelings and sympathies. His nieces,
Mrs. Kennedy and Mrs. Herbert Brown
of Macon and Mrs. Eta Mckay of
Thomasville, were at his bedside dur
ing his last hours. He will be buried
here tomorrow by the side of his wife,
who died some years ago.
