president Arthur T. Hadley)
Almost every evil-political, social,
or commercial-which constitutes a
serious menace to the permanent
prosperity of our country can be
traced directly to our tolerant accept
ance of selfishness as a basis of mo-
rality.
Do not be blind to this truth-that
if you have no higher motive than
your own personal interest, it means
that your soul is for sale if the price
be made sufficiently high. 1t is for
you to show in your own lives that
the honor of a gentleman is not for
sale. the faith of Christian some
thing more than an empty form of
speech.
The really fundamental thing in a
mans life is his choice of relig-
ion. Two religions are today strug-
Cling for mastery. There is the relig-
ion of Mammon, whose dominant
purpose is selfishness and whose creed
is Indifference to moral consldera-
tions, except so far as they may be
regarded as instruments of individual
advancement. There is the religion
of God, whose purpose is service and
whose creed is loyalty to something
larger than yourselves.

THE ASSAULT UPON DIR. BROUGH-
TON.

There was indignation expressed
yesterday by the friends of Rev. DR..
L. G. Broughton at the attack upon
him by the chief of police at Albany.
Ga. They were relieved to know that
the preacher sustained no injury. The
Atlanta Constitutions special gives
some additional particulars as fol-
lows:
CDR. Broughton was in a BARRIERS
chair. Chief Westbrook made sew
eral Inquiries as to which of the
several gentlemen who were being
shaved was the Atlanta divine. AS
soon as he identified DR.. Broughton
the chief produced a heavy rawhide
whip and struck him three or four
times, but owing to the interference
of a dozen persons the blows did not
take full effect. There were several
side fights precipitated by the excite
ment. 1t is charged by a number of
persons who were present that DR..
Broughton had pistol and threaten
ed to use it. He assumed the defen-
sive with heavy iron cuspidore, held
tightly in one hand, the other hand
being thrust deep into one of his coat
pockets Chief Westbrook used some
unprintable language in denouncing
DR.. Broughton, who did not reply.
The chief said:
81 will beat you to a frazle if I
have to follow you to Atlanta
'The affair has created intense ex-
element and further sensational de-
velopments are predicted"
In a telegram to the Atlanta Con-
stitution DR.. Broughton said
II was attacked in a barber shop
here this afternoon by the chief of
police and struck over the head with
something like the loaded butt end of
a whip. Friends protected and mob
was threatened. Albany's good peo-
pie, including the mayor, are enraged
at such a cowardly attack. No wound
from the lick"

HARDER TO BEAR PROSPERITY
THAN ADVERSELY.

An exchange asks how the defeated
candidates took their defeat. They
bear it as brave men bear all the vi
cisitudes of life. But it is great
mistake to be wondering how men will
bear adversely or disappointment. 1t
is easier to face poverty than riches,
failure than success. To the thought
less man this statement may not be
accepted at first blush, but it is the
truth. 1t is hard to bear disappoint-
ment or misfortune. Some natures
sink under them, and they give
pang to the strongest and to the
noblest. But there is something of
what we call stuff in the true man
that gives him power to rise superior
to the ups and downs of life, and to
build character than endures upon
the foundation of an ambition that
has not been realized.
Rather let us always ask: Will the
successful man, flooded with congrat-
ulations, and praised and petted be
able to play the man as we'll as his
disappointed opponent? Few men
comparatively bear themselves well
under the calcium light. Dewey
could sink a Spanish fleet, but he lost
much of his glory because he was
not wise enough to keep out of poll
tics Hobson immortalized himself at
Santiago, but cheapened himself by
promiscuously kissing pretty girls
from New York to San Francisco.
How many men have gone into high
stations with popular acclaim who
seemed to lose their equipoise and to
drive off their friends by unwise ac-
ton and foolish speech? How many
poor men have been injured in char
acter by becoming rich?
1t is a greater strain on character
to win and stand in the limelight than
to lose and work in the unobserved
places.

Spirit of the Press,
The Negro as Weapon or Cats Paw.


Richmond News-Leader.
The Republicans do not demand
plainly and directly that the negroes
shall be restored to political equality
in the South. They urge that if he is
denied such equality the South shall
be punished by loss of representation
and by increasing the political power
of the Northern States. 1t is the old
game of using the negro as weapon
or a cats paw. Just as Mr.. Lincoln
proclaimed emancipation of the slaves
as war measure, so the Republicans,
accepting his disfranchisement in the
South, propose to use it as an excuse
for securing vast political advantages
for themselves. On that ground the
Democrats can and should meet them.
We can bring before the people the
whole question of the original en-
reimbursement of the negroes and of
the history of the government given to
the Southern States as the conse-
quence of that act. The issue present
ed in this campaign is not whether the
South shall or shall not retain her
present representation. 1t is whether
any section of this country shall be
punished and Inundated because 1t
has adopted the principle of the white
mans rule in the white mans country
as part of the fundamental law. On
that issue alone we believe the Dem
OcratS can win.

Chickens Come Home to Roost.

COlumDla STATE.
The chickens come home to roose.
1t is but a few months ago, when the
independence of the ready-to-w wear
republic of Panama was recognized,
that the Republican party was forced
to defend the principle of secession,
which for forty-four years it had been
repudiating with scorn and denouncing
with vehemence. Now w. e. Curtis,
special correspondent for the good old
Republican Record-Herald of Chicago,
writes from the Philippines that it
would be a great mistake to grant
the franchise to the F'ilipinos when
we remember the appalling expert
ence we have had in the Southern
States in our own country when the
ballot was entrusted to the enfran-
chised slaves" Thus do our friends
the enemy confirm us in our long con-
tested beliefs-secession and the rule
of honesty and intelligence. 1t is

Political Chat .

Under big headlines, ''West Nomi-
mated Capt. R. B. Glenn" the Ashe-
vile Gazette says:
I'm speaking of the nomination Of
Captain Glenn one member of the
Buncombe delegation said: "As much
as | would have rejoiced in the nomi-
nation of General Davidson, I am
frank to admit that Captain Glenn was
the choice of the great mass of the
Democratic voters of all sections of
the State, The sentiment expressed
in this statement is that of the ma
jority of those who attended the con-
vention. The masses were behind
Bob Glenn; they were determined that
his party service should be recognized;
they cared not whether he hailed
from the east or from the west; they
were for Bob Glenn--the man-not
the section, and if the feeling and en-
thusiaSm shown when the last ballot
had been counted is to be taken as
criterion he will be AS loyalty support
ed as any candidate who has ever
gone before the people. And in the
nomination of Captain Glenn any COM
plant from the west-west of the Blue
Ridge-Would seem ill-timed and out
of place, said q Democrat today, for to
this section of he State is due the
credit of nominating the man from
Forsyth. On the first ballot Captain
Glenn lacked seventy odd votes of the
nomination. By reference to the tally
sheets it will be seen that these seven
ty odd votes necessary to make him
the choice of the convention did not
come from the east or even the mid
die section of the State. They came
from the west-west of the Blue Ridge
and while the supporters of Major
Stedman, these stalWart sons Of the
lowlands stood firmly by the Guilford
man on every ballot, the supporters
of General Davidson, the recognized
western candidate, broke after the
first ballot, and cast their votes for
Captain Glenn in sufficient numbers
to bring about his nomination"

expected him to take. He says that
he doesn't consider nominations for
office essential to happiness and this
means that he is the same cheerful,

was before the convention, which is

Corn silage Is a natural food for
milking cows and growing cattle. 1t
is useful in the ration of fattening ami
mails. 1t may be fed to horses with
probable advantage. but it must be
fed With extreme caution.
If fed in regular amounts not ex-
ceeding ten to fifteen pounds per day,
many experiences have been entirely
satisfactory. If fed in unlimited
amounts. and especially if the silage
has been poorly made or has under
gone some further degeneration, it has
proved deadly in its effects. Last Win
Ter in Minnesota a man came to us at
the Farmers Institute with sorrow

frozen corn and there was mold on the
silage. He had no hay His horses
had beer gorged with Stage, having no
