A Day with Rev. Cha mbcrs.

MOOD, ulu ola age are steps IN the
pathway of time, which ooly few
fellow pilgrims are permitted to
take. The inspired writer says
"the days of our years are three
score years and ten." Compare
lively few men reach this advanc.
ed age. Nevertheless the golden
days of fou" SCI re years, are en-.
Joyed by some fathers and moth.
ers. What picture TO survey (!
January 9th, the undersigned
and part OF his family, by the
courtesy of friend. had the priv
ilege of spending little while
with our beloved brother, Lewis
Chain bers, of Big Cove Taunery,
Pa, who has passed his four
score and six years. Itls both o
pleasure and profit to associate
with man of such years, and es-
pecially one whose life has been
consecrated to the work of the
Lord.
Bro. Cham bers was born IN
Chester county, Pa, January "a,
1920, and was one of Z children.
He has one brother hvlng in Neb.
who is 1 years his jnnior.
Thirty five years agn, the sub
ject of this article came to Fulton
county, with his family, and pitch.
ed his tent near the spot he now
occupies, awaiting the bidding of
the master. Al present he has
3 children, Is grand children, and
B great.grand- children living. Af-
ter his beloved companion bad
completed her earthly pilgrimage
he made his home with his daugh-
ter, Mrs. JacC b Pott, who tender
ly administers to his needs.
The active ministry of Brother
Cham bers covered the greater
part of If a century. During
that time he served congregations
at Chattanooga, Tenn Laurel,
Del; Philadelphia, Westchester,
Lancaster, Gatchellville, and var
lous parts of F'ultof county, Pa.
During the war of the rebellion,
he aided his congregatlou at Lau
rel to build church, using some
material from a structure, erect.
ed to the worship of God III the
days of the Revolution. In Catch
ellsvllle he organized a congrega-
ton which has renovated and en-
larged It's temple of worship
mum ber OF times. Atlts last ren.
ovation this congregation showed
it's appreciation of his faithful eff
ticient labors in Its behalf by
adorning its sanctuary with VIM
dow to the memory of it's beloved
Pioneer. Doubtless this was
well deserved honor. The con.
gregatlon has manifested, not on.
ly IN this particular act, the spirit
of the apostle, wherein he SAID,
"We beseech you, brethren, to
know them which labor among
you, and are over you in the Lord
and admonlsh you. And toesteem
them very highly in love fer their
works sake"
Though the weight of years has
left its impress upon the body of
Bro. Cham bers, yet his mind is
clear, vigorous, and stored with
happy thoughts and precious
truths; his heart Is peaceful, hap
py and joyous with the presence
of the never-fa falling Friend.
Blessed be his day, happy be
his night, and glorious be his life.

SATURDAY, MAY 5, 1906.

The High School building is soon 10
be in course of erection at the county
seat and, it is hoped, it is to be the
best not only in architectural beauty
but in its interior arrangements and
equipment on the Shore. To that end
an admirable site, with ample grounds
and centrally located has been secur-
ed. An up-to-date building though
with modern improvements, impor-
tant as they are, do not suffice. The
people of the town by their action on
Wednesday night, having entered
into the race for better schools, must
not be satisfied with any but the first
place in the efficiency of their school.
1t should be the model for all others
in the county. The old town deserves
that much at our hands and we must
see to it, that it is in the lead III
everything pertaining to the schools.
1t is gratifying to note in this connec-
ton that our labors in that direction
will be easy for the reason, that our
school is to be continued under same
management for another year as at
present. With the increased facilities
which will be given them in the future
there can be very little doubt as tc
the position we will occupy among
other schools of the county.

The Senate of Massachusetts has
revoked the insulting amendment to
the bill appropriating money for an
exhibit at the Jamestown Exposition.
Sober, second thought seems to have
convinced the members of that body
what fools they had made of them
selves. The amendment had its
origin, it is now stated, in the anxiety
of one Senator to strengthen himself
with his colored constituency. The
other Senators disclaim any intention
of discourtesy to the South in the
matter.
The assurance is now that Massa-
chusetts will be represented at the
jamestown Exposition by first-class
display and fifty thousand dollars has
been appropriated for that purpose
This is gratifying to all patriotic citi-
zens. In this exposition no state
should be omitted, and it is to be
hoped that everyone will be well re-
presented.

In MemOrlam

la loving remembrance ofmy sister,
BERTHE Finney, who departed this life
February 9th, 1906, aged AZ years.
In silence she suffered,
In patience she bore,
Until God called her home,
To suffer no more.
BERTHE has crossed the river,
She is with the angels now,
She has laid aside earth's crosses,
And the crown is on her brow.
No sorrowing thoughts can reach her,
No griefs are hers to-day,
God gives her Joy for mourning,
Her tears are wiped away.
She is waiting in that city,
Where the saints and angels wait
And l will know you BERTHE,
When l reach the pearly gate.
Farewell dear BERTHE,
God thought it was best,
To take you from this world of sorrow
Into sweet Heaven of rest.
We are parted only for awhile,
Well meet on eternity's shore.
To clasp thy hand and behold thy
smile,
And meet to part no more.
You are gone but not forgotten,
Nor ever will you be,
AS long as life and memory lasts,
l will always think of thee.
By her sister, Alice Chandler.

The papers of the country, North
and South, are discussing the wisdom
of nominating Southern man for the
Presidency, and many of them APP
prove the movement in that direction.
In their opinion, it is time that the
South, which has for half a century
furnished the votes for the Demo-
cratic Presidential candidate, had as
serted the right to supply some of the
leaders. All agree that there is plenty
of presidential timber in the South
Daniel, of Virginia, and Bailey, OF
Texas, being named oftener for the
position than any others. The Wash
ing Post of Saturday submits its views
in the matter in the following:
"What is the South going to do
about it? Will she go to the next
Democratic convention and again do
what she has been doing ever since
1S6S-let the North name the can
didate for the South to elect, if he
is elected? Is it not about time for
the South to do little nominating
as well as a heap of voting?
"True there is some prejudice
against the solid South but for many
long years the Democratic party
found it powerfully convenient. 1t
enabled the party to concentrate its
assaults against New York, Connecti-
cut and New Jersey, of New York and
Indiana. Our Uncle Sammy Tilden
calculated to an exactitude, and if he
had known what they were going to
do he would have shaped things diff
ferently.
1.-THE solid South nearly saved Han
cock in 1880, and did save Cleveland
in 1884; and hence we say that the
solid South is very convenient thing
to have in the political basket.
"It has been fifty-eight years since
a Southern man was elected Presi-
dent, and if the democracy should in
sist on the nomination of favorite
son in 190s-threescore years after
the election of z. Taylor-the elder
sister of the Union might fall into the
humor, and there is no telling what
might happen"

Coming close upon the heels Of the
Garfield report, upon which prosecu-
lions of the trust officials may be based,
the evidence which was adduced, prin-
cipally from former employees OF the
trust, is deemed OF great moment.
The story as it was unfolded BY the
witnesses was replete With the drama
of modern business. For a central
thread it had the alleged j collisions
and connivings, one with the other, Of
the two great organizations of.mOney
the railroads and Standard Oil. Rad1-
iating from this the flaments OF the
plot led to the villages where the
tradesman is ruined by the unseen
hand declared to be the trusts, to
the homes where housewives, are de-
'ceived and made unwilling allies of the
force that knows no staying, and to
the pocekts of public officials bribed to
make the path easy for monopoly:
Facts Brought Out.
In brief, the points brought out dur
ing the day by the witnesses follow:
Independent trade was secured
through fake companies, apparently
working in opposition to Standard Oil,
and Independent dealers were driven to
the wall through systematic price cut
ting on the part OF dealers backed by
the Standard.
Through special secret freight rates,
one-half the open rate, the trust was
