Martha Washinston's Bible.

A Philadelphia special to the
Baltimore American says:
Martha Washington's Bible, which
had been in the Custis family for
generations and which was lost by
the family of General Robert E. Lee
forty three years ago, is now the
subject of dispute which may be
carried into the court for settlement.
The preseut owner, who is George
w. Kendrick, Jr., of this city, refuses
TO turn it over TO the Ices aud does
not recognize their claim to it. An
attorney has been consulted by a
member of the family with view to
finding out whether legal proceed
ings can be instituted. Mr.. Ken
drick, in speaking of the matter, said
"While have had the Bible for
over twenty years, | am willing to
give it either to the ladies of Mount
Vernon Society or to the Smithsonian
Institution. Such relic as this
should be placed where the public
can see it. j do not admit that
General Gusts Lee ia entitled to il
more than any other descendant OF
Martha Washington aud hence am
unwilling to turn it over to him"
Mr.. Kendrick said that he bought
the Bible % years ago from man
named Stein, who is now dead.

LatImer's Road Scheme.

Senator Latimer made journey
out to Iowa months ago, speaking in
favor of good roads. He appeared in
the Congressional District of Representa-
tive Hedge, who seems to take little in
terest in the proposition. Mr.. Hedge,
however, is a friendly man. He intro
duced the Senator to a large audience, at
the same time explaining that he would
not be responsible for what the Senator
had to say.
The giories of an appropriation of
$40,000,OOO by the Federal govern
ment were eloquently set forth by
the South Carolinian. The Iowa
farmers present were delighted. The
district Is one of the largest in the
State, has thousands of miles of high
ways, and the residents from the country
were greatly pleased with Mr.. Latimer's 8
advocacy of Federal appropriations.
But Mr.. Hedge, who is a very practical
man, had turn later. Proceeding on
the assumption that the government
should appropriate $40,OOO,0O0 for good
roads, to be distributed pro rata among
the States, he figured out that his district
would receive as its quota enough money
to build about three miles Of good high
way.
"And now," said Mr.. Hedge, after he
had explained how far the appropriation
would go, "where do you want those
three miles of road built?'
He declares that some of those farmers
are still discussing which part of the
district shall have the benefit of the
money. Washington Post.

count of the decision of the Court oil
Claims az to the dispensary license
case, which was decided against the

The case was elaborately argued

Of the utmost Importance, both to the
United States and the State of South
Carolina, and will be appealed to the
Supreme Court of the United States.
Since the inauguration of the dis
pensary system in the State of South
Carolina, it has come to be quite
profitable to that Commonwealth,
yielding profit of over 100000 per
annum, which materially decreases
the direct taxation for school and
other purposes.
The decision rendered does not af-
feet the validity of the dispensary
system in any wise, and will only re-
suit in requiring the payment of a
license tax of 800 per annum for
the wholesale dispensary and $25
per annum for each retail dispensary

point of view, therefore, does not
seriously affect the State.

Six Stitches In Mans Heart.

Thomas Emerson, a Philadelphia ne.
gro, who was stabbed in the heart by his
sweetheart, has been the subject of an
unusual operation. His heart was lifted
out of the body and six stitches were
taken to close the big cash made by the
negro's knife. The organ was replaced
and Emerson is recovering. After the as
sault Emerson walked without assistance
to the hospital five blocks, and was under
the influence of ether as soon as the
wound had been examined On the
operating table the heart was exposed,
necessitating the breaking of two ribs.
The heart was lifted out, being drawn
clear out of the trunk. The cut was a
large one, requiring six stitches The
pleura was opened and gathering of
blood removed.

"a whole.souled Child Of Cod"

Will you give me space to testify
publicly my grateful appreciation of
Mr.. Garrison's courage and fidelity
in rebuking in The Republican of 26th
instant DR.. Edward Everett Hale's
gross offence to good morals, not to
say religion, in his eulogy in the
Senate Chamber of the late Senator
HANNAH
The column of newspaper com.
ments on Hanna's death which you
reproduced in The Republican of the
18th instant was surely melancholy
enough reading; for out of the whole
number only two spoke the truth
the Boston Herald and the New
York Evening Post. But none of
these struck 80 low a note as DR..
Hale, the dean, in some sense of our
Unitarian clergy, the man, who, by
age, position and experience, ought
to have spoken high and resound-
ing word for public morality and
civic conscience. I, for one, am in
expressibly shocked to find it possible
that an eminent clergyman of the
liberal faith can be so ignorant or
80 misguided as to call Hanna ga
whole-souled child of God. ] say
ignorant, for does not DR.. Hale
know-what all the rest of the world
knows-that this man was simply
the most accomplished political
trader our century and more of par
tisan politics has produced? Did he
not know that his advent in our ma
tional politics was rs the unblushing
purchaser, for cash and for Offices, of
the greater part of the Southern
delegates at the ST. Louis Convention
which nominated Mckinley in 1896?
Bribery and corruption are always
vile, but their. vilest aspect is seen in
the buying of ignorant colored dele
gates, who, of all men, most need
the protection and guidance of men
who engage as leaders in our politics.
Was ever crime deeper or hypocrisy
more glaring than when this man
went with bribes to debauch the rep
resentatives Of race and people
whom he was loudly proclaiming
were the victims Of Southern white
prejudice and injustice? Hanna's
one only conception of politics
was business, the business, of
making money by politics, of car
rying conventions and elections by
money. And yet DR.. Hale, repre-.
sentative, to degree, of Boston
culture, of Boston morality and re-
ligion, holds this man before the ma
ton, and especially before the youth
of this country, as ga whole. souled
child of God {" If more shocking
or debasing word has ever been ut
tered by professed teacher of
morality, cannot recall IT'D. II.

Would Not Ride In lin Crow Car.

Recently, according to the Chicago
Conservator, the bishops council of the
A. M. K. church met in Mobile, Ala, and
a taste of the bitter race question was q
prominent feature of the occasion.
When Bishop Arnett reached Cincinnati
on his way south he decided to make the
journey in Pullman sleeper. The
company refused to let him ride in a
sleeper where other passengers were to
ride. The bishop was informed that he,
being negro, could not get into a
sleeper unless he took and paid for q
whole car. Being shut up to this or to
ride through the South in a Jim Grow
oar the bishop chose the former and paid
$50 for his car.
When the council had adjourned the
bishops and ministers present agreed
among themselves to throw in to charter
a sleeper. This they did and moved all
their traps to the sleeper, which stood
on the side track of the road. The hour
for retiring having arrived before the
train that was to pull the sleeper out
from Mobile, the men all went in and
went to bed. When the train arrived
and the train crew learned that "niggers"
were in this particular sleeper they re-
fused to haul it out and the agent con-
fessed his inability to force the crew to
do it.

Defective Legislation.

So far as discovered there were about
five acts passed by the Legislature which
were defective in some particular. There
IL no telling how many more may be
found when it comes to putting them
into operation. Why all this careless,
ness in legislation ? Was it because
members we're thinking more of politics
this year than public business ? Or were
they so interrupted by lobbyists that
their attention was distracted from the
purpose for which they were assembled ?
Perhaps both had something to do with
it. Certain it is that in great many re-
spects Legislature in primary years is
political caucus. Add to that an active
and ever present and persistent lobby,
and perhaps no surprise should DO had

this would not elect him, but it

and said

"What, for you Democrats ?"
"No, as Republican"

the party, and there are other

Somebody Blundered Again.

Basing their expectations upon an In
creased income of about 100000 from
the corporation franchise tax, the Legis-
lature Increased the appropriations about
$4,000 over last year. Now the
added to the extra $4,000, will make O
deficit for the year of somewhere near
$4,000. That would have been offset,
with something To spare, with the ex.
pected 100000. But it looks as if the
franchise tax cannot be collected this
year. Comptroller General Jones seems
to take that view of IL and hassubmitted
the question to Attorney General Gunter
for his opinion. The Legislature ought
certainly to have seen that the act would
become operative this year or else kept
the approximations within the INCOME

Mr.. Towill was Baptist-he is not
one now, for we do not believe that q
true Baptist could 60 into the whiskey

Mr.. Towill has done the proper thing,
however, in quitting his church if he had
made up his mind to accept a place on
the dispensary board. He can certainly
do no good in church while in this
business.
But his conduct points moral. Why
is it that some people who have made
up their minds to serve the devil insist
upon remainining in the church ? We
know men who are constantly drunk
and yet they are church members. The
decent thing for them to do would be
to quit the church. ch.-Greenwood Journal
