most of whom are invalids. / took
most of my time while there ques-

pie one at q time, and they all told
me that they were being well taken
care OF, but that they were crowded,
not having room enough.
1t would make heart of adament
melt to hear these old decrepit in
valids tell their sad story of hard
ship and deprivation since the war.
Their homes and property devasta-

and feeble for want of the common
necessaries of life, no money in cir

none of this world 5 goods left to com

compelled to live on this amount,
with 6 few dimes given them by a

tiers of the Confederacy has done the
good work of starting, and what they
have done and are still doing, with
the help of tolerable liberal appro-

them in a reasonable comfortable

PULL TOGETHER.

The Quitman Globe philosophers
in STRAIN, the application of which
should not be cireumscribed by the
meets and bounds of any one town:
TO be a live up to-date business
town and take advantage of every
good thing that comes along, the
merchants and business men gener-
ally must cultivate and have friend
ly feeling for one another.
Because one man has different
opinions politically or rcligiously
from you is no reason why you should
keep aloff from HIM. Remember al
ways that his friendship is worth
more to you than his opinion. In
friendship there is harmony, and in
harmony there is strength. One
man alone cannot build up a town,
nor can half its citizens do so when
the other oppose them It may be a
bitter pill to pull in the same har-
ness with your neighbor up the street
but ten to one if you pull with him
a while you will fiji out that he is
really better than you thought for,
and If both are pulling to accomplish
the same good end in this way you
will quickly become acquainted with
his good qualities like him better and
soon overlook his faults

WHY EDITORS GROW 0PULENT

Trusting that its barbed irony may
strike home into the sleeping heart
of the careless and negligent fellow
to whom the moral applies, we repro
duce an Alabama editors explana-
nation of Why it is that the local
editor is (?) one Of the joyous COM
pany that ga.ly trips over the Col
den Bridge spanning the stream on
the pathway along which they saun-
ter to the Sunny Sides of Prosperity
Street:
After a great deal OF Study and
work we have at last figured out why
so many country editors get rich.
Here is the secret of their SUCCESS:
A child is born in the h6or-
hood: the attending physician gets
$25 the editor gives the loud unged-
youngster and the happy parents
a send off and gets 10000.
IS christened, the minister gets
so, the editor gets 500 100,
publishes another long winded flow
cry article and tells a dozen lies
about the beautiful and accomplished
bride, the minister gets so and a
piece of cake and the editor gets
10000.
In the course of time it dies and
the doctor gets from $40 to 500, the
minister perhaps gets another SO,
the undertaken gets $25 to 800, the
editor publishes a notice of the death,
and an obituary two columns long,
lodge and society resolutions and a
lot OF poetry and a free card of thanks
ard gets 10000
No wonder that SO many country
editors get rich.

SUCCESS DEFINED.

Not SO long ago a Boston firm Of
fered $3.50 prize to the person furn-
ishing the best answer to this ques-
ton what constitutes success. .
Mrs. A. J. Stanley to whom was
awarded the prize, gave this reply:
He has achieved success who has
lived well, laughed often and loved
much; who has gained the respect of
intelligent men and love of little
children; who has filled his niche and
accomplished his task: who has left
the world better than he found it,
whether by an improved poppy, a
perfect poem, or a rescued soul; who
has never lacked appreciation oil
earth's beauty or failed to express it;
who has always looked for the best
in others and given the best he had.
whose life was an inspiration; whose
memory a benedictiop. -

HOW SOCIAL PoIsE IS coEsER
WE'D.


The wise judgment exercised by
the editorial profession generally IN
deciding what to publish and What
not to Publish, is about as plainly
stated in this article taken from the
Quitman Globe, as we have yet pc
rused.
"The editors of country newspap-
ers are ordinarily among the first to
hear gossip or scandal, the indis-
erection Of men and women, and
things generally unfit 10 print, such
as clandestine meetings, ilirtations
of married women, buggy rides, the
young gone cstray, rumors of mar
ried men and in fact all neighborhood
scandals.
Editors usually know of all the
'doings" IN community, no matter
how secret they are supposed to be.
Were he to publish one half of what
he actually knows, saying nothing Of
what is related on the street coruers
in his daily round for news, we ven
ture the assertion that there would
be divorce proceedings, social ostra-
cism, shotguns, and gore galore,
suicide, Imprisonment, desolation,
humiliation, shame and misery.
The editor also hears much of the
hypocracy of life and it is often
times the case that people who
knock and otherwise abuse him owe
their standing in society to this
same insignificant editor for his for
bearance.
After having been sworn to secre-
cy on matters of this kind it will be
readily observed that the life of the
aforesaid editor is not one of eternal
sunshine and happiness as most peo-
pie are won't to believe and all in all
it is wonder that he has any conf
dence in mankind.

RUSHING SOME.


Recognition Of The HERALD's val
ne as medium of discrimination OF
both news and advertising is con-
stantiy coming in and frequently the
case from sources the least expected.
Something written, some policy a.
dopted, some principle advocated.
some article produced, that renders
its possession precious. The most
surprising of these favors came to us
last week, when we received an or
der from one party for two hundred
extra editions, from Society seven
extras, numerous other calls the same
week for samples, special copies etc.
running the entire extras, we will
say in round numbers up to 2a5.
Besides this we have another order
for fifty extras from as distant a
Point as Panama, the new Central
American Republic. This we could
not fill last week, but the order goes
out this issue to it's destination.

HAZING CURE SUGGESTED

pfUrce mas caused along many
mysterious and unexplained
deaths, but has now grown alarming
in the extent to which the lifes of
some OF our best young men are ex-
plated to satisfy it's nefarious cult.
Not only that, but the brute propen-
sity which is given life IN the charac-
ter of the young of the land, who are
sent to these seats of learning to be-
come versed in knowledge; and its
growth is reflected IN and frequently
materially changes a once sweet dis
positioned youth into a vicious bully
OF a man. Stop it we say, if the
petted sons of high places have to
swing from the gibbet to emphasize
the disapproval and determination Of
society to no longer countenance it.

The manufacture of certain goods
here, without the payment of royalty
and of course, without the enormous
transportation expenses, win be very
profitable. These goods can be sold
at prices that will make competition
impossible by the original manufac-
turers and patentees, the latter are
beginning to realize the situation and
already noticeable increase in the
registration of Patents, Trade Marks,
and Copyrights is apparent in the
records of the Minister of Fomento.
However the laggards may soon
be confronted and handicapped by
their own goods, which will no doubt
be marked Made in Panama, in

William Jennings Bryan
At the Old World Centers
Where History is Being
Made.


The great Commoner, one Of the
two Americans most in the universal
eye; is making a tour which will be
memorable in interest an impor
lance. He has already visited Ha-
wall, Japan. Corea and China, and is
now in the PhiI.pp mes. His timer
AIRY will then include India, Pales-
tine Egypt, and the various coun-
tries Of Europe. After crossing the
Atlantic and spending a brief time
at home, he will make a special trip
to Australia and New Zealand.
Feeling that his countrymen will
desire to learn his experiences and
impressions, and daring to tell the
truth as it appears to him, Mr..
Bryan has consented TO write series
of letters covering the various pha-
ses of his journey These will not
be delayed until he has had time to
|prune and polish, but will come fresh
from the scenes OF his study. They
will be timely, vital documents, and
literary sensation. In order that
his views may reach the people
promptly, it has been decided to per-
NIT simultaneous publication in the
leading newspapers of the United
States.
THE PICAYUNE HAS BEEN SELECTED
THE MEDIUM FOR THIS TERRITORY.
Mr. Bryan's reputation lnsures
him opportunities for observation
given to few men. He knows what
the American people want to know,
and he knows, too how to look and
how to describe what he sees. There
! fore his letters will have a human
interest, literary and a news value
above similar messages from almos'
any other writer, statesman or trav
eler.
The Philippine question, the future
Of Japan, the fate of China, the
mighty changes stirring in India, the
renewed sttention to Palestine, be
cause of Zionism, the crisis confront
ing the Russian Empire, the modern
izing of Egypt, are topics all intelli
gent readers are eager to have ligh
upon. All readers may not agre'
with Mr.. Bryan, but all will appre
ciate the chance to hear what he ha
to say They will have the full serie

There is the usual pyrotechnics of
oratory going on in the legislature

is to be allowable, we guess, as part
Of the pay for the position. The

not of a tempting character and
