Working Uncle Sam
A Virginia Banker Says the
North Has a Scheme to
Defeat the South.

Major James f.. Dooly, a prom
inent citizen of Richmond, Va,
declares that the North is setting
trap for the South THE
South was an agricultural sec
ten. The North went into the
manufacturing business and pro-
cured the passage of tariff laws
which compelled the Southern
people to buy goods from it at
very high prices, thus paying an
enormous annual tribute to the
Northern people.
AAfhie North obtained large ap.
preparations from Congress for
great public buildings and for
improving it's rivers and harbors.
after the war, the North had
the pension bills passed, by
which the South pays $50, 900. 600
year for the support of North
ern and Western people.
Then the North got Congress
to give to Northern and Western
people millions of acres of the
public land for the construction
of western railroads. The rural
mail delivery is putting millions
of dollars annually into the North
and West against few hundreds
of thousands expended in the
South. g
The proposition to place the
making of rates. that is, the fix
ing of prices for our goods in
competitive markets, in the con.
troll of the North and West,
comes before us In the guise of
a patriotic effort to protect the
people against the impositions
and exactions of the railroad
companies. That is not the real
object. The true purpose cam
not be avowed. The talk of pro-
tecting the people against the
railroads, is an attractive veneer
ing put on to popularize the
movement. The real question is
not so much between the people
and the railroads, as it is be.
tween the ports and cities of the
South and the ports and cities ct
the North. The North and East
have taken alarm at the rapid
strides which the South has been
making in manufactures and
com merce. The great and i'm.
portant design which underlies
the rate proposition, is to con-
troll the trade and commerce
which now flow in an ever-rislng
tide to Southern ports and cities,
and to divert them to the ports
and cities of the North and West.
"With the aid of the railroads.
the South has put the New Eng
land iron furnaces out of busl-
ness, irrapidly closing its cotton
mills and is taking its export
business away.
THE North and West are
smarting under the loss of trade.
They now want to get political
control Of the railroads so that
by making rates favorable to
their sections they will recover
their business and dominate the
South. They know they can
count on four and may be five
votes out of seven."

RUMtND RUIN!
A Discourse by Rev. I. G. Davis,
at the Gospel Temperance
Meeting on Sunday
Afternoon.
Published by request of hearers.

Published by request OF hearers.
I think this question is being
agitated along the right lines. 1t
is non.partisan and non-sectaian.
I have come to the conclusion
that the domination of party pol
itics as now run means the
domination of the saloon. While
there many things on which we
do not and cannot agree as de-
nominations l thank God that all
christians can agree HpeH the
tempeance question. All church
members do not agree on it but
all christians must agree upon
the fact that the saloons must be
opposed.
There are many church mem
bers who are loud in their oppo-
sition to the liquor traffic until
they come to the polls and Vhen
they fall back in line with party
politics and vote contrary to the
way they pray.
It is said that the word of a
saloon man has more influence
over the average politicians than
the word of FIVE business men or
of ten preachers and teachers.
The reason is in the fact that
behind the saloon man there is
an organization that support him
in his demand and when the bus
mess man speaks he represents
his own opinion and they know
that the preacher cannot do any
thing more than create senti-
ments for them to destroy in
their campaign arguments. We
need to be so strongly banded
together that when we make de.
mand it will be respected and
considered.
The SALOON men are organized
into what 10 known as the Saloon
League" Every saloon man is
taxed a certain amount which
goes into campaign fund to be
used to influence legislation in
their favor. When the legislature
meets com mittee waits On such
members as they believe can be
influenced and inform them
where 10 go to get free drinks
for themselves and their friends
during the session of the body.
This institution is set for des-
.potic sway. 1t is heartless and
deaf. The cries of the hungry
aud the walls of the distressed
makes no impression upon it.
This traffic tracks the unthink-
ing youth until he yields to its
charms. 1t dogs the steps of the
husband and father until he falls
.in it's hungry jaws. Its influence
is, felt ia the gorgeous halls OF
the rich as we'll as in the novels
Of the poor. It Mas devastated
larger areas than war, or famine,
or pestilence.. There is no hor.
ror that has driven happiness
from more homes and broken
more hearts than this legalizzed
monster which is supported by
the votes of the members of our

churches. It exists because we
tolerate it and the churches
must share the responsibility
Of it's evils perpetrated upon us.
If we sell home, society, fathers,
and sons for political favor we
must reap the harvest, For
whatsoever a man soweth that
shall he also reap"
We thought it an awful thing
that 27O americans werekilled by
Spanish bullets during the Span.
ish-American war but we have
not walked up to the enormous
fact that 279 victims go down to
Christless graves every day as a
result of the open saloon. If we
could uncap hell and see 100000
of our people plunging into its
flames annually as the victims of
this hellish traffic surely our
eyes would be opened to our nat
ionai crime In the face of all
this there are those who will say,
xThe saloon don't hurt me. "
God pity the poor deluded hypo-
critic who can see no farther
than, that. IF you will let the sa-
loon alone twill let you alone, "
some one will argue. 1t won't let
you alone no matter how little
you have to do with it. Sam
Jones tells a story about a man
who was attacked by vicious
bull dog and when the dog APP
preached him he pinned the dog
10 the ground with the prongs of
a pitchfork. When the owner of
the dog came up he said. why
didn't you take the other end of
the fork to the dog?' Because.
said he, he didn't come at me
withthe other end. AS long as
the saloon comes at US with the
destructive end we must take
the destructive end of the pitch
fork to it.
lam opposed to the liquor ira
fic because it is opposed to good
government; the salooa or the
government must SOONER or late
err go. Whiskey and money flow
freely in every campaign to buy
votes for corrupt men that they
may perpetuate this business.
This evil, like its master, the
devil, is aggressive and is always
at work. They are never idle.
1 am opposed to it because it is
opposed to the home. If it con-
tinues it must make its way into
our homes for victims. It blasts
aud blights all that it touches.
The home and the saloon are at
war with each other. 1t enters
to destroy and damn. The
homes of this country must fur
nish to this monster every year
500 murderers, 500 cuicides, 100,
900 criminals, 100000 paupers,
so, 600 deaths from drunkenness,
100000 drunkards, moderate
drinkers who will in a short
time be drunkards, 100000
homes broken Up On account OF
drink, and 100000 children
worse than orphans.
am opposed to the saloon be-
cause it is opposed to the church.
They face each other standing
at opposite ends. One stands for
decency and sobriety and the re.
ligion of the Lord Jesus Christ
the other stands for drunken=
ness, disorder and vice of every
character. One stands for the

It's queer what awful small hats
at people with swelled heads.
There's no need to hunt for trouble;

People may love their children for
their faults. but mighty few others.
II makes a man pretty cross to have
his wife act as if he had a good tenn

Singing in a choir is the very bes'
.ay not to make friends Of the rest
Of II.
Hardly anybody would like to get
the cussing a millionaire has without
his money.
when you see a man looking pretty
cheerful I'm town it's a sign the fam
ily is away for the summer.
The meanest man is the one VINO
won't kiss a doll for child when
she thinks IL has been hurt
A very useful thing about an anna
taur garden is it's such "a nice place
for the dok to bury his bones.
There is hardly anything iha'

her photograph look like her.
