Letter From Vernon Thach, Son

The following is letter from Yer
non Thach to his father, Dan Thach,
of Kimball. He belongs to Co. NJ,

Dear Homefolks:

march to Macon, Ga. and return. We
had pretty tough time and a right
good time too. We passed through
about five counties between here and
Macon. We went down on the South
ern Railroad, or on its route, and
came back along the Central. We
made the trip there and back in sew
enteen days, actual marching. We laid
over one day going, one day return
ing, and two days in Macon. l guess
you have heard all about Indian
Springs, Ga. We camped one night
there. 1t is small spring, only runs
about one gallon per minute, and the
water smells and tastes bad, but the
people say that it is the healthiest wa
ter for miles around, and that many
who are sick come there every year tC
recoup their health. 1t is located
about half way between here and Ma,

PHONETIC
SPELLING
DOUBTFUL WHETHER CHANGE
WOULD PAY, SAYS GOOD
WIN SMITH.

Ithaca. n. Y. March Tn let
ter to the current number of the
Cornwell Era. Goodwin Smith at
tacks simplified spelling and sharply
disagrees with those who believe that
a change in the spelling will even
tually make English the dominant
language OF the world He thinks
that it is very doubtful whether the
change will pay Among othe, things
he says
How far would the simplification
OF spelling OF a few hundreds of
words go toward making the English
language the dominant language of
the world? Surprising even that 1t
would make the language perfectly
phonetic, are there not more serious
defects than spelling? Would there
still not be a lack of power OF de-
clension and conjugation, of the pow
er OF forming compounds OF cognate
forms for cognate ideas? Worli
there not still be a scientific and
philosophic vocabulary almost en-
tirely, borrowed from the Greek, and
to all those who do not know the
Greek language totally inexpensive ?
The language of Shakespeare, Mil
ton, Bacon, Burke and Macaulay has
its qualities. and very high qualities
they are, in a way, but regularity,
either structural OF phonetic, never
can be one of them. You can not
cancel effects OF English history
"Simplifed spelling might in way
be gain. Simplification OF the no
tation of time might very likely be
a gain. But It would have involv-
ed a great confusion for some years
and jettison OF our clocks. Simph-
fcation of spelling would involve
temporary confusion and a jettison OF
our books. 1t surely is doubtful
whether the change would pay"

LEGISLATURE
AFTER Sc DAYS.
IS ADJOURNED
REGULAR SESSION PASSED But
ONE IMPORTANT BILL AND
TT MAY BE NULLIFIED

Charleston. March 6.-'Tis finish
cd: the thunders are hushed on the
flooS and the bodies that knew them
once may know them no more.
That is. the extraordinary session
of the West Virginia legislature. con-
vened by the governor eleven days
ago, terminated its work at $50
o'clock last evening adjourned sine
die. and amid handshaking and good
wishes. without the farcial third
house. departed to their various stop
ping places. to get ready to leave the
city, some on early trains and 9TH
ers on succeeding trains-trains go
ing to every point of the compass.
The adjournment OF this session
was marked with unusual good feel
ing. and while every member and
every attache were glad TO get away,
glad TO get to their homes. yet a
feeling of sandess prevailed. for
fourteen of the thirty senators
terms have expired by law, unless
another extra session is called
while no member of the house will
return again unless he is reelected
II was a, parting OF the ways-the
. parting Of many men who have form
ed strong attachments I'm the past
fifty-six days, who may never see
each other again.
The legislature that adjourned
eleven days since passed no measure
OF special state Importance, except
the two-cent fare bill, which is now
declared unconstitutional, not on ac-
count of its classifying railroads.
but on account OF its discriminating
feature, and 1t is authoritatively
stated that it will be tested by the
c. e. o. and n. & w. as soon as the
law becomes effective and in opera
ton. TTVHN
The extraordinary session. which
adjourned last night passed a bill
fixing the license year on the first
day OF July, instead Of May l, as at
present 1t passed an appropriation
bin which calls for the enormous sum
of $3,323. 1000 for the years 1907
and 1908, while the revenue bills
passed will only produce the sun
of $2,51O,OOO which will leave a de.
felt in the state treasury at the end
of 1908 of $4,000
The only way this can possibly
be kept out Of the printed financial
statements of the auditor is to jug
gle the funds, as IS done at times in
bank statements Be this as it may
the deficit above, varying only as IT,
cense taxes vary, little more or a
little less, will confront the next
regular session OF the legislature.

SWEDEN M0URNS
HER DEAD KING
NATION BOWED IN GRIEF WHEN OS-
CAR SUCCUMBS AND NEW
RULER ASCENDS.
WAS MOST BELOVED MONARCH
Prince Gustave a Strong Minded Young
Man Upon Whom All Factions in
Kingdom Will Unite.
NO FUNERAL PREPARATIONS YET.

STOCKHOLM, Dec. 9.-Oscar IL,
King of Sweden. died at 9:1O o'clock
Sunday morning. The death of the ven
cradle monarch occurred in the royal
apartment of the palace, where, sur
rounded by the members of his family,
including the aged Queen Sophia and
the crown prince, Oscar Gustav, and
high ministers of state, the inevitable
end had been awaited, while outside the
palace great crowds stood with bowed
heads and fearful eyes long after the
announcement came of the death OF their
well loved sovereign.
The whole country is bowed with
grief. When the flag on the palace was
dipped to half mast there was moan
of anguish from the assembled multitude
dead"
Son Becomes King in Fact.
The succession to the throne of Swe-
den has already passed to Oscar Gustav
Adolphe, duke of Vermland, the oldest
son of the late King.
At a meeting of the council Of state
the new King took the oath of allegiance
under the title of Gustav V. and adopted
the motto, with the People for the
Fatherland."
The princes then took the oath of al
legiance and the new monarch accepted
the homage of the state officials.
The last hours of the expiring mon
arch were passed in Inconsistencies and
up to the end he gave no sign of recog-
nizing those about him. The Queen was
grief-stricken because he could not bid
her farewell.
In the palace courtyard in the dim
cold gray mist stood a crowd of school
boys, King Oscars most devoted friends.
Here they had stood for hours, blue and
CHI tohi
There also gathered many old men and
women in rags, whom the King had al
ways stopped to comfort with mild words
and generous aims when he met them in
the parks or streets, their faces tear
stained because their beloved King and
benefactor was dying.
Flag Falls as King Dies.
Suddenly the flag dropped to half mast
and a wall of misery and sorrow arose.
