If there is any doubt in your mind

the risk of cure. and no reader of The

The unwilling in Atlanta on last

highest credit to that city, to Georgia,
to the South, and to the whole Coun-

as Gordon do not belong to a State or

AS statesman, soldier and patriot, he
was an honor to American citizenship.
Few better deserved the term. sans

His hitterest enemies could lay no
blame or stigma on his character. If
one should refer to him as the Chcva-

ideal of Southern chivalry, honor and
manhood. The impressive ceremonies
attending the unwilling showed how
dear he was to the people whom he

honorod and loved him.
While no monument of stone or metal
is needed to keep his memory alive in

How Pabst

Malt is the body of beer. II

Malt is barley-grain,

Most masters force this pro-

Pabst takes the full eight days

result that Pabst gets nutritious,

The President of the Alabama Con-

made two splendid contracts for the
hire of convicts." The Henderson
Boyd Lumber Company agrees to take
l75 convicts and branch of the same
comuany will take 200 convcts. all at
$3.50 each per month. From mer-
cenary standpoint. this looks like good
business. but, as the law regarding the

in the law that convicts shall work

NEGROES As Slave Owners.

Mucon i eleBTapu.
Perhaps The New York Times would
be still more surprised to learn that
throughout Africa there have been
many more slaves than freemen for
thousands of years; that the American
negroes In Liberia also own slaves and
can purchase them at as low price
as ten dollars a head that early in
the last century there were moro anti
slavery societies in the Southern than
in the Northern States. and many me-
Rroes were privately manumitted and
finally. that several companies Of free
negro soldiers from Mobile and tho
country around served in the cause OF
the Confederacy.
These latter, as Is shown in Elem
ing's Civil War and Reconstruction in
Alabama" were descendants of the ne
groes and mulattoes who were left
free under the treaty with France
They expressed an earnest desire to
fight for the Confederacy and finally,
when the war was about half over.
were received into the Confederate ar

of the Alabama Legislature.

car handed the conductor S. bill

order that relieved him from making

deciding that as long as the railway

that it would not accept large bills in

HAS SEEN A LIGHT.

We are told that they that walked
in darkness have seen a great light"
or words to that effect, and now we
are advised that Uncle Joe Cannon,
who was lately one of the stand-pat
test of all the cult Of stand patters, has
seen a glimmering that is causing him
to sit up and take notice. He has an
has announced for him. that he is 60
ing to make tariff revision the promi-
nent feature In his candidacy for the
Presidential nomination next year.
Your Uncle Joseph. you will bear in
mind has line out to catch the NOM
nation, and 1t has been borne in upon
his inner consciousness that tariff re-
vision will be the proper bait with
which to entice the fish to his hook.
He has plainly had his ear to the
ground, and has heard the rumble of
the marching army of revisionists who
are getting to be very much in evil
dence. Out in the great West up in
the busy East, as well as down in the
Sunny South, the sentiment for revis-
ion is growing and gaining strength
every day. The tariff-nurtured trusts
and monopolies may sneer at 1t and
fight against 1t, but all over the coun-
try the level-headed business men are
joining hands with the over burdened
consumers in demanding change.
That's what's the matter with Cannon.
He hopes to take advantage of this
sentiment and ride 1t to a Presidential
nomination.
Just what his chances are Is problem
aticaL Just now they appear very
modelling with the tariff until after the
next election, and unless he changes
his mind and comes over to Cannon
and his platform, the latter's chances
appear to an outsider to be very weak.
The President will not change unless
he sees that such change will strength
en- him and the man he is backing; in
that case, he will flop while you whit.
AS 1t is, he is playing the game of poll
tics at which he Is an adept. He
knows that the subject of revision is
a red flag to the great trusts. and he
knows that without the money which
those trusts will pour into the cam
paign treasure chests the Republican
Party stands a good chance to go down
in 1908 There 1t is in brief form: he
wants the money for his man and his
campaign, and he knows he can't get
the money If he offends the trusts And
that's what's the matter with Teddy.
But Uncle Joe sees--or Thinks he
sees-something that is hidden from
Roosevelt. He has an Idea that tariff
revision will be winning slogan next
year and he proposes to adopt it early
and thus take the wind out of the
Democratic sails and ride to victory.
If that sentiment proves to be popu-
lar and is strong enough to elect
Republican President and Congress
pledged to revision. 1t will be feather
in his cap and things will come his
way Your Uncle Joseph is not fool,
by quite a long way. We hope he
makes things lively among his breth-
rem.

Belief in a personal devil seems to
have passed away from the mind of man
with the generations that are gone. It
was inevitable that the ancient Idea Of
the devil. pictured as he was by the re-
ligious artists. as a monster Of deformity
and ugliness. would have to go The
painters of old probably got their ideas
from the Bible, which. however, never
pictures his Satanic majesty directly
The popular superstitious idea Of the
devil was taken largely from the Revela-
ton OF st. John, who saw "a beast rise
up out OF the sea. having seven heads
and ten horns, AID upon his horns ten
crowns. and upon his heads the name
Of blasphemy. And the beast which
saw was like unto a leopard, and his
feet were as the feet of a bear, and his
mouth as the mouth of lion and the
dragon gave him power. and his seat. and
great authority. There are many such
pictures as that. but none Of them seem
quite to tit the devil
There is a Presbyterian minister the
Rev. 5. 5. Hilscher. who. in a recen;
Chautauqua address. declared that the
devil is "a beautiful and seductive per
sonage, with qualities that attract rather
than repel, and his pronunciamento has
been taken for something novel
As a matter OF fact whatever devil
there is must be attractive rather than
repellant. In one of the Scripture pas
sages. in which the devil really figures in
popTia personae, h. appeared before
Jesus Christ in the wilderness and took
Him up into the mountain. The devil
was seductive enough then
All this power VIII / gige thee. and the glory cf
tAem' Ter that Is delivered unto me; and to

Thus said the devil tempting Christ.
Now. it is plain that whatever form he
took the devil was not then a monster Of
hideous mien
