MORNING TONIC.
(Henry Drummond.)

/ know that many of you are puz-
zled to know in what direction you
can start to help Christ TO help the
world Let me say this to you in this
connection: Once j came TO cross
roads i'm the old life and did not know
i'm what direction God wanted me to
help hasten His kingdom. l started TO
read the Book TO find out what the
ideal life was. and | found that the
only thing worth doing In the world
was to do the will of God; whether
that was done in the pulpit or in@the
slums: whether it was done in the
college or in the class room or on the
street, did not matter at all. My
meat and drink" Christ said. lis to
do the will of Him that sent Me" and
if you make up. your mind that you
are going to do the will of God above
everything else. it matters little in
what direction you work. There are
more posts waiting for men than there
are men waiting for posts. Christ
needs men in every community and in
every land: it matters little whether
we go to foreign lands or stay at home
as long as we are sure We are where
God puts us.

dieial denial of such trial by jury:
6 Every person who has kept up with
the case has been impressed by this
fact: Dukes and Kilgo's lawyers
have been fighting strenuously to have
this case settled by judicial construc-
ton that would exclude the real
crux of the matter rather than
by a trial by a jury with all the evil
dence before them. Hour after hour
was taken up in attempting TO ex-
elude evidence that has been heard in
all similar trials in the history of the
State so that the case would finally go
off without regular verdict of

ly manner And now that the case
highest question-as to the admis-
sion of evidence material TO the plain
tiff-the attempt is being made to
create an impression that Judge
Moore's decision lends it,
Nothing is settled until it is settled
right This unfortunate controversy,
due to conversations and speeches and
actions that did not speak we'll for
Christian conduct, will not be settled
until all the facts on both sides come
before an honest jury and until the
presiding judge is not hampered with
judicial restrictions that shut out
much of the evidence.
The great mistake made from the
and DR.. Kilgo was in determining TO
keep out evidence of the plaintiff, re-
fuse to offer evidence tending to justi-
fy the course of the defendants, and
submit everything to the. jury instead
of trying to evade a jury trial of the
case upon its merits. There are many
men who believe that Mr.. Duke and
DR.. eKilg6 ought ITO pay !. nothing in
damages, who believe their case would
have been stronger if the defendants
their witnesses on the stand, and made
a clean breast of the whole affair, CIV
ing their reasons and their justification
for the course they pursued. That's
the way to try cases like this-let all
material evidence on both sides, with
explanations of motive, go TO the jury,
after argument by counsel, and that
is the only way that COMFORTS with the
spirit of our judicial system. No mat

Washington Post.
While it is true that 'in the eye of
American law all are equal, ii is no
torious that in the enforcement of
would be next to impossible to so ar
range social conditions as to put the
rich and the poor on an equal foot
ing in the courts.
The best legal talent is always at
the command of a wealthy defendant,
and his right to employ it is unlikely
TO be abridged by legislation or
changes in court procedure. The inn
pecunious man is not denied a fair
trial; counsel is assigned him, and his
defense, if.he have any, is put before
the jury. AS a rule, he gets his de-
Serts. Complaint of criminal juris-
prudence is not that the poor are UNI
Justly convicted or cruelty punished,
but that the rich too often escape
justice. This is notorious; it is con-
coded by many eminent jurists, and it
is the conviction of thoughtful citi-
zens, with few, If any, exceptions. Not
long ago, a Justice of the United States
Supreme Court proposed a limitation
of the right of appeal, in order to
check the power of money to secure
those delays which are responsible
for many miscarriages of justice.
On every secular day i'm the year the
proceedings in the police courts of
American cities give the lie to the as
sertion that money is no shield to

ably thousands of offenders to prison
in default of payment of fines While
the impecunious are being hustled off
TO Jail or Workhouse, others, arraign-
ed for the same offenSae for which
that penalty is imposed, draw their
rolls of currency, pay their fines and
go free. Is ii possible to convince the
imprisoned contingent of those Offend
ers, or their friends, or the general
public that they are not punished for
having no money, rather than for the
Offense charged?

THE EYRE AND OTHER SOUTH
ERN STORIES by Bette Fresh
water Pool. Decorated cloth, ~
mo. Price $1.0O. Publishers: Broad
way Publishing Company, S35
Broadway, New York.
This new book of Southern stories,
the first effort of the author, gives
evidence of unquestioned talent both
in story telling and in writing dialect,
as we'll as in writing verse. One of
the most popular of the collections
of poems is on THE Grippe" a parody
on THE Bells Every one who has
been racked with that depressing dis
ease will agree that Miss Pool has
made the parody true to life.
The stories deal mainly with South
ern incidents 'befo' do wah" and her
knowledge of the negro character is
perfect. Her dialect is natural and
her stories will please all who enjoy
'the quaint amusing extravagances of
speech with its soft intcnations.'
Here is the dedication:
To the
Memory OF my Brother,
The Late Hon. Walter f. Pool,
This Book is
Most Lovingly Dedicated
BY
The Author.
The frontispiece is a copy of the
Mays Head portrait of Theodosia
Burr. the beautiful daughter of Aaron
Burr, and the story of the mystery
that has long shrouded her fate is
believed by the author to be cleared
up the recountal of the tradition that
she was lost at sea near Nays Head.
The substance of that tradition has
more than once found its way i'm the
press. but Miss Pool has given to the
students of history the story in SO clear
a manner as to attract interest and

investigation. From the chapter THE
Burr the following extracts are ia
ken:
"In the winter of 1912 there drifted
ashore at Kitty Hawk. a few miles be-
low Mays eHad, a small pilot boat with
all sails set and the rudder dashed.
There was no sign of violence or blood
shed; the boat was in perfect condi-
ton. but entirely deserted. The small
table in the cabin had been spread for
some repast. which remained undis-
turbed. There were several handsome
silk dresses, a vase of wax flowers
with a glass covering, q nautilus smell
beautifully carved, and hanging on
the wall of the cabin was the portrait
of a young and beautiful woman. rms
picture was an oil painting Oh poi
ished mahogany, twenty inches IN
length and enclosed in q frame rich
ly gilded. The face was patrician AM
refined: the expression of the dark
eyes, proud and naughty; the mar
dark auburn. curling and abundant.
A white iodine cut low in the neck
and richly adorned with lace, revealed
a glimpse of the dropping shoulders,
and the snowy bust, unconflned by
corset.
"The wreckers who boarded the
boat possessed themselves of every
thing of value on board. The picture,
wax flowers, nautilus shell and SILK
dresses fell into the possession OF an
iIliterate banker woman, who attached
no especial value to them.
This picture, which has since at
tracted so much attention, hung on the
wall of a rude cabin among the North
Carolina hills for fifty-seyen years. In
the year 1869, it fell into the possess

ability and profoundly impressed all
who heard her. The address of Mrs.

duly appreciated it's usefulness will be
widely extended.
Plans were formulated to press for
ward the campaign for lettering the
public schools, particularly In thu
matter of urging every community to-
vote a. local tax. Within the past four
years 280 school districts have voted
a local taX-the only sure and per-
manent way to establish good public
schools. Every other way is a mere
makeshift or temporary help. Tn"

the school districts supplement the
general tax with local tax. In add:-

derived does in giving more teachers

After recounting the progress made,
Mr.. Joyner spoke briefly and plainly
and seriously'of the interest shown by
and the help given by the General
Education Board and the Southern
Education Board. In fact these
Boards are doing almost exactly what
the Peabody Board did under the wise
leadership of DR.. Curry, the chief diff
ference being that the main work of
the Peabody Board was in the towns
while these boards are seeking TO help
upbnild the rural schools as we'll as the
town schools. Mr., Joyner's frank
statement of the actual workings
ought to answer all criticism. North
Carolina is a pretty Independent old
State and as long as McIver and AL
derman and Joyner and Dabney and
such men are in the lead nobody need
fear that 1t will drift from its moor
ings.
