A Few Lucky Farmers Get SC For
Their COfton-Deafh of An Old
Confederate Soldier.

LocKHART JUNCTION, March ii.
Farmers have been using the pretty
weather the past week. Some few
finished selling cotton last week at
l5c per pound, but there were few
lucky ones, for nearly all sold at a
lower price.
Death has again visited this com
munity. Mr.. A. G. White died at his
home in Jonesville Township March
II and was buried Sunday at New
Hope church, the family buryipg
ground. He was an old soldier.
He lost leg in the Confederate
War for the cause he thought was
right. He was good soldier, a
good neighbor, and honest in all his
dealings with his fellow man. He
leaves one sister, two brothers, one
in the far west, and many relatives
and friends to mourn his loss.
Pardon, please, l will relate this
the fourth death in this neighbor>
hood since January 1st: Mrs. Nancy
Pickens, an old and respected lady,
Mr.. Thomas F. Gault, Mr.. Allen
Vinson, and Mr.. A. G. White, these
all old soldiers. They all lived in a
quarter of mile of each other, and
have no doubt been a great help to
each other as they walk down the
path of life.
q ~ And one by one, we all pass away
and the places that now know us
will soon know us no more. So let
us strew one roses as we 90 down the
pathway of life. MoxY.

PCl.ITENESS.
pen. -

At this day and time, politeness
seems to be lost art, if art it can be
called. In the hurry and rush for
the goal just ahead, people stride and
swagger along life's pathway unmind-
full and inconsiderate of the common
courtesies due to each other. This
is a loud, whistling, jostling, push
ing, crowding, get-out-of anyway gen.
GRAFTON, regardless Of age or charac-
ter. We admire push, energy and
activity; at the same time we like
gentility, civility and decorum. True
politeness is born of love, self-respect,
noble impulses, a generous, genial
nature, alive and awake to the pleas
ures, comforts and conveniences Of
those with whom we come in daily
contact. 1t is trite saying, but
nevertheless true, that politeness is q
cheap commodity, and among busi-
ness men it may be but an acquired
habit, but it is none the less telling
in its effect.
In being polite you will be happy,
in being happy yourself you make
others happy.
Example is wonderfully catching
and contagious, for you may tell q
person whole year what should be
done, but unless you do it you have
nine times out of ten wasted your
breath. We should erect standard
Of politeness, and have ever before us,
"as others see u.s." and should vie
with others, never let any one be
more polite than we are. Alas! we
fear that the days Of the old school
gentleman have passed; gone, forever
gone.

THE MORMON SENATOR.

The contest of Mr.. Reed Smoot for
a seat in the United States Senate as
a member elect from the State OF
Utah is being widely and variously
discussed by the press: not only OF
this, but Of other countries as well.
The investigation now being made by
the Senate Committee on Privileges
and Elections is awakening a new and
lively interest in the Mormon State
affairs. The protest which gave rise
to and necessitated this investigation
begins by stating that Mr.. Reed
Smoot is one OF self-perpetuating
body Of men who, constituting the
ruling authorities Of the church OF
Jesus Christ of latter day Saints, or
Mormon church, claim, and by their
followers are accorded the right to
claim supreme authority, divinely
sanctioned, to shape the belief and
control the conduct Of those under
them in all matters whatsoever, civil
and religious, temporal and spiritual,
and who thus uniting in themselves
authority in church and State do so
exercise the same as to ipculcate and
encourage belief in polygamy, who
countenance and connive at viola
tions Of the laws of the State prohib-
iting the same, regardless of pledges
made for the purpose OF obtaining
Statehood and Of covenants made
with the people Of the Uniten States,
and who, by all the means in their
power, protect and honor those who
with themselves violate the laws Of
the land and are guilty Of practices
d estructive Of the family and home"
Mr.. Smoot formerly and persistently
denies these charges, The testimony
taken before the investigating COM
mittee so far is very damaging to Mr..
Smoot, establishing the fact that Mr..
Smoot adheres to Mormon priesthood
according to the doctrines OF that
church, is vested with supreme au-
thority in all things temporal and
spiritual. That he as one has not
abandoned the principles and prac-
tice of political dictation, so also he
has not abandoned belief and practice
in polygamy. The supreme author
tiles in the church Of whom Senator
elect Reed Smoot holds the first pres
idency and twelve apostles not only
connive at violations Of, but protect
and honor the violators of the laws
against polygamy. 1t will be seen
by the foregoing that in the State OF
Utah the Mormons are almost as pro-
nounced in their adherence and prac-
tice Of polygamy in open violation Of
the laws of the land as they were be-
fore this State was admitted into the
Union. This Is shocking state OF
affairs, a menace to good government,
and blot upon the fair name Of this
Christian and civilized people.

1861. He had leg crushed by a
shell at the battle of New Market,
Va, and his leg was amputated,
which put him on crutches for the
rest Of his life. His name may not
be inscribed upon the roll of fame,
but he wore two badges, either of
which is more honorable than the
golden eagle or the Roman garter,
and these were a pair of crutches
and cross of honor, conferred bv
the daughters of the confederscy.
Last Monday he drove to Jonesville
in his buggy, and had me to write
his will, remarking at the time THAI
