IEEsBURG. GA, FRIDAY, APRIL Is, 1904.

at this time the most vital campaign
issues should be given the greatest
prominence and should be announced
in such a way as to exclude all doubt
as to their meaning and all appear
ancs of compromise.
in other words, there are certain
lines Of battle which promise, better
than others successful results.
These lines having been carefully
selected and plainly marked out,
should be followed persistently and
with faith and enthusiasm.
Il earnestly hope that our platform
will be short-so that the voters of
the land will read.
II hone that - this platform our
party will say precisely what it means
and that every word it contains will
bear it's share of meaning in declaras
ton of principles free from doubt, eva
sion or disingenuous compromise.

A POINTER FOR CARNEGIE.
Fearing to Die Rich, Miser Gives Away
Property to Deserving poor.

Clark Ridley Of Newmarket, Mass,
having reached the age of IS, has de-
cided that it is a disgrace to die rich
and announces that he will at ones
give all his property to deserving per-
sons of his own selection Already he
has disposed of three houses and lots
and says he has several left, together
with other property valued at SIS. 900.
Ridley has been known for many
years as miser. "The rich men give
property to some institution" he said.
THAT is not really deed Of charity.
If man has got something to give
away he should give it to somebody
that will appreciate It and do them
some good"

Former President Cleveland
FayorS Judge Parker
AS DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE
Interviews Published In TWO New
York Papers are the Subject Of
Much Comment by Demo-
cratic Leaders.

The published interviews with for
mer President Cleveland, which APP
peared in two New York papers Of
Wednesday morning, in which he vir-
tually comes out for the nomination
of Judge PARKER, proved the political
sensation Of the day in Washington.
Most of the friends of Judge Parker
are of the opinion that this utterance
of Mr.. Cleveland will prove of value
to his candidacy, particularly In New
York and the east. They argue that
it not only finally disposes Of the talk
that CleVeand is himself a candidate,
but that 1t also disposes of the charge
that Parker is. David B. Hills man. MIR.
Cleveland says
"The recent movement looking to q
concentration upon Mr.. Parker's candi-
dacy Afforded me the greatest possible
relief and satisfaction, not only so far
as my personal comfort is concerned,
but as a democrat anxious Ter my par
tvs supremacy and delighted with the.
prospect Of its return to sanity and
patriotic effort.
II do not see how any one profess
ing to be a real, intelligent democrat
can hesitate to help Mr.. Parker if he
should be nominated, as a fit repre-
sentative of safe and conservative
democratic principles entitled to hear.
ty and unreserved democratic support.
Some of us may have been Of the
opinion that another nomination might
be more expedient But that should
be a mere matter of opinion which
should pass OIL tot sight Immediately
if the choice Of the convention should
fall upon Mr.. Parker
Feeling assured, as I do, that
nomination will be made representing
true democratic principles, I am only
concerned about the platform which
will be presented to the people with
our candidate"
1T should be remembered that the
more unobjectionable the candidate
we select, the more will our oppo-
nents be driven to search for campaign
material in our platform declaration.
Il do not believe that can be mis-
taken in my conviction that in this
campaign, of all others, our platform
should be short and to the purpose.
"There have been campaigns in
which platform-makers have INDUCED
in useless, foolish vagaries in safety.
There may be such campaigns
again, but I know this is not one of
them.
There are certain democratic doc
trines believed in by that eonserya-
tive element Of the party which will
control at st. Louis.
These doctrines should, in no event,
be evaded.
Such of these as appear to furnish

Over the desert and over the plain.

Under the thrilling sky,
The voice Of mighty peoples,
And the tocsin OF IF and woe
From East to West tits sounding.
And man must rise and go.
He must leave the hearth Of his mother.
And fare to the Northern zone,
Traverse the waste and dare the dearth.
Know the moods Of the desolate earth.
Live In his tent, alone.
For the century bids BIN hasten
To find her hidden wealth,
The lore she guards and the treasure
She only yields by stealth.
A man must fear no peril.
He must ride like Knight Of old;
To tourney and tilt, with good right hand,
That cleaves to the hilt Tor the love of the
land,
And here's to the soldier bold!
Who is pure of thought and action,
Who Is ready to serve his age,
Who cares for the thing he doeth,
And not for the soldiers wage
Deep unto deep. 1t calleth,

Splendid and strong is the centary's song,

And it may not pass you by.

HOW THEY GOT HIM OUT.
Lone-Winded Caller Was Sucker,
But Resourceful Mother Gave
Him q Start.

Young Thompson never knows when
to leave If he calls on young lady; he
likes the sound of his voice so well that
he talks on and on, while the poor girl
grows light-headed with the tax on her
strength, and wishes the mantlepiece
would fall on the tiresome caller, relates
London Tit-Bits.
There Is q young lady-one of his
victims-who made up her mind to give
him q lesson.
So one Sunday night when he called
she was as cordial as possible up to IL
o'clock. Then, having had . four-vol-
ume history of Thompson's life, with an
extended account Of his influence in the
football field and business, she began
getting dizzy and to have a ringing in
her ears.
At that moment her brother rushed
into the room and said hurriedly, PA
wants the morning paper, SIS"
Look in the letter box, Willie" she
answered, gently. II think I heard the
boy leaving it some hours ago."
Thompson never took the hint, but
drawled on about the dancing season,
and what figure he cut at Waiting.
The next interruption was from the
head of the house, who entered, brisk
ly rubbing his hands.
Good morning-good morning" he
said, cheerily. "Ha! Thompson, you're
out early. Well, early bird, etc. It's
going to be q fine day from present ap-
pearances."
Thompson was dazed; but he con-
cluded that the old man had been out
drinking, and sat back with an air that
was decided and convincing.
Halr an hour passed and the mother
hurried in. ",>
Dear me. I'm too late," she said. a.
she entered. II smelt the coffee an hour
ago. and knew breakfast was waiting,
butch! Good morning, Mr.. Thomp-
SOM"
Then the sweet youth took the hint,
and drawing himself together he got
out into the hall and opened the front
door Just as the servant girl rang bell
and the small boy yelled breakfast"
over the balustrade.
