THE PUBLIC.

A casual glance at the floors
and walls of the court houses,
depots, and other public build
ings of our state, or any other
state, will show the regard in
which public property is held by
most people. The man who
would not pollute his own house
by splitting on the floors, or who
would not permit a guest to do
so, does not hesitate to expecto-
rate freely upon the floors OF
a public building, provided the
law does not reach him. Even a
woman, who is neatness persona
fed in her housekeeping, will
recklesly scatter peanut hulls or
paper in the streets, or over the
floors of a public building, with
out a thought of the inconveni-
ence to which she may put the
public custodian.
1t is because we do not recog-
nize the fact that the public is a
part of each of US, that we disre-
gard its rights. The truth is, a
proper respect for public rights
is the root of true patriotism, and
should be instilled in the youth
of our land by both precept and
example. 1t is the duty of the
highest as we'll as lowliest citizen
of any community to share the
public veal or woe, and not only
to respect and protect public in
terests, but also to hold public
officials to conscientious and eff
ficient service. Look upon the
public as a part Of your individu-
al belongings, and as such claim
and defend them.

As We SEE 0URSEL FES

1t is wonderful how different
things seem when We do them
ourselves, and when Others do
them. We drive shrewd bar
gains, and think We have done a
good days work in getting the
best of the ignorant, yet we rise
up in arms when We find some
one trying to get the best of US.
We boast and brag of our own
honors and achievements, and
call everybody to note how great
and glorious we are, but the vani-
ty, conceit and egotism OF our
neighbors, who brag likewise,
overshadows their genuine worth.
When it comes to losses and
crosses, what we have to bear
seem heavier than any one e%lse's,
and we claim the prerogative of
Igroaning and kicking as much as
we like.
In fact, most Of US look at our
selves and our rights through a
magnifying glass, and fondly
imagine everybody sees us as we
see ourselves.
A persistent course of rubbing
against the world viii disillusion
US, but only a determined and
continued fight against selfish
ness can free US from its bonds.

A little later heard the clarion
chant of the first born, herald of
the keenest joys and bttterest
griefs that ever stimulated or de-
pressed the human heart. I saw
the light of a new experience in
the parental eyes, the growth of
divinity, the ecstasy of heaven.

led with chubby palms, and the
white dove of peace and joy
lowered reverentially over the
hallowed scene. | saw the child

the warm seasons of parental
love, and strenuous manhood and
charming womanhood going in

Senator Moneys War
Record.

1t seems that some currency
has been given to a statement by
some irresponsible person, that
Senator Money escaped service
in the Confederate Army by TAX
ing advantage of the Twenty
negro law
1t is a matter of astonishment
that any credence could be given
to a campaign falsehood so utter
ly and palpably at variance with
all the facts.
Is it possible that a soldier who
stood faithfully and valiantly to
his oolors for nearly four years
of that struggle and sacrafice and
suffering lives to hear his char
acter assailed by citizens of his
own State?This is a sad common
tary on the reward that awaits
the patriotism of the veterans.
fernando Money and myself
enlisted as privates in the same
Company, the first that was or
gained in Carroll county, the
Carroll Rifles" commanded by
Capt. P. F. Liddell, who became
Col. of the 18th Miss, to which
his old Company belonged, and
was killed at Sharpsburg, where
the Regiment lost all its field
officers. About the time / was
commissioned as Surgeon, Mr..
Money was transferred to caval-
ry service, was elected Lieuten-
ant and remained in active SER
vice till near the close of the war
when he was discharged in con-
sequence of broken health and
serious disability, having been
severely wounded and captured
in Tennessee. He and his horse
were shot at the same time, in a
charge, and he came near being
killed in the fall; in fact, his
comrades, who rode over him,
supposed him to be dead.
Under Army Regulations Mr..
Money could have claimed ex-
empuon from military duty at
any time, from the day of his
enlistment, by reason of physi-
cal disability, or he could have.
had, for the asking, a comforta-
bic position in any of the Depart
ments, but he declined everything
for active service.
Not much Importance is at
tached to such an empty accusa-
ton, but as l am a living witness
to his fidelity and intrepidity as a
soldier | write this to silence, now
and forever, this falsehood and
leave no possible opportunity for
the REPETITION of a calumny so
odious to every true Confederate
soldier.

ter of the 18th, asking you to

viii say that fail to find an an

ed at Kansas City at the last Ma

of the party and that you voted

your views on the other subjects
which you have been discussing
in the present canvass? Is it not
fact that the Philippine ques-

wish injected into this canvass?

you because you did not appoint
