able to care for the situation among
the poor and unemployed will not be
known until the water recedeS farther
and opportunity is given for inspec-
ton.
The flood eXpanse covers an immense
territory, miles of water extending
from the foot of the Carolina hills into
Georgia Farm lands. crops and live
stock in the valley is not included in
the estimate of losses. The bottom
cotton and swamp corn, an immense
annual product, is ruined. Tonight
there are whole families missing. The
water is going down at p. NJ. tonight
at the rate of half foot an hour, and
except in the very low places, the wa
ter will be out of the city in &c hours.
The city is quiet. Prominent citizens
tonight put the municipal loss at $780,
0G0.
The loss on cotton is not severe. only
$500 bales being damaged. The loss to
railroad terminals will not be more
than 100000 through the loss of the
Southern bridge. That to farming in
terests UP and down the valley is
merely a matter of guess work at this
time.

speakers at a Republican rally held in

Congressman D. J. Foster presided.
During his remarks, Mr.. Shaw said:
Il submit that it ill-becomes man
who brooks no opposition in his domi-

Shall the people rule? Verify they

phatic in November, 1900 and they Will
be emphatic in November. 1908. The
interrogatory raises no issue unless
our opponents intend to change the
method by which the people shall rule.
This seems to be their purpose. They
demand the election of United States
senators by direct vote and expressly
declare that this shall be the gateway
of other national reforms. BY this J
understand. they will ultimately amend
the Constitution so as to provide the
initiative and the referendum. This
opinion is emphasi sized by the fact that
the nominee of the party. who wrote
the platform at Denver, demanded such
provision in the Constitution of Ok

THE fathers created a representa-
tive government and not a pure de-
mOcracy. While jefferson and his cora
patriots believed in the people and de-
clared that governments derived their
just powers from the consent. of the
governed, they very well understood
that the people would be unable to
legislate everything at the polls. They
know from history that intelligent and
thoughtful communities are ever and
anon swept by waves of sentiment.
They therefore provided some metho Is
by which the people might be safe
guarded against these. One of these
safeguards is the Senate, the members
of which are. chosen by members Of
the Legislatures subject to impeach

to protect the people against hastily

Mark and Percy to work upon it, it was NOS
long in climbing up to height which Ed
considered quite sufficient for camp stove.
Then they smoothed off the top OF it care
fully, and set the stove-top on it, and Mark
put on the two lengths of pipe, bracing them
up with long pole stuck in the ground,
while Percy broke up some wood and built
fire in the stove, and Ed stood by as inspec-
tor, and pronounced the draught good and

in the ground near by. with stout pole to go
anything in the big stew.kettle, as. it was
so heavy it might break the stove down. :.
This they did, placing the second "stove"
little to the right of the first one.
Just as they were finishing Il up, Herb came
to the tsent-Opesnaing, and called to them hem tS
The three boys went to the tent and looked
| inside. The "beds" were arranged in the
| further end of the tent, three on the left side
| and two on the right side, with two-foot
space between; This left plenty Of room in
the front for their boxes, trunks and satchels,
and for them to move about without feeling
at all crowded.
THAT'S fnel" said Mark 'T speak for the
bed farthest over in the left-hand corner
there"
II speak for the middle one," said Ed.
That's right; we want you to have that
one" said VIII, $50 that in getting up early
you won't wake the rest of us up. Hes go-
ing to get up at FIVE o'clock every. morning
did you know it, fellows?" turning to this
others.
"Eh?" and the others looked at him ques-
tioningly..
Ed said nothing, but his looks said quite
as plainly as words that when he got up at
five o'clock everybody could look for the
world to come to an end on that same day.
''Well, now let's get at that table" said
WILL starting out Of the tent. you'll have

And, as the others started off after the
door, Ed ppt on large gingham apron and
pitched in" to have dinner ready before they
were ready for it, if possible, and to have such
dinner as would cause them to open their
eyes in very wonder.
He was not successful in carrying out the
first part of his resolve, but in the latter part
in providing a dinner that made the four
boys open their eyes-he quite overreaehed his
aim.

them"
Mark .winked at Percy, and smiled as he
answered:
ri didn't consider you anybody, that's the
reason kicked those stones instead Of hand
ing them to you."
Ed made no reply to this, but examined
the stones Mark had handed him. He had
not wanted them apparently, for all he did
was to look them over, and then throw them
to one side. To Mark it looked as though he
merely wanted his humble servants to be
doing something.
"Want to look at any more Of them" asked
Mark, sarcastically, picking up several more
Of the stones and offering them to Ed.
But Ed paid no attention to the taunting
words, and went on with his task until he
had finished it to his satisfaction. Then, ris-
ing, he said:
aNow, you fellows can go ahead and build
up the stove. 1t wants to be Just the size of
that square. and, where have made that hol
low, you want to leave an open space for a
draught, understand"
Yes, they understood; and, with their
sleeves rolled up to their elbows, they pitched
into the task before them.
"This puts me in mind of old times-doesn't
IL you, Mark" said PeFcy-"when we used
to make forts and castles and hreastworks,
and then shoot them down with our cam
nons?"
"Yes, and it also puts me in mind of the
time got fathers chesamen out and we
pretended they were soldiers, and wounded
a lot of them So that they couldn't be made
to stand up, and father punished me soR it by
making me go to bed without any supper.
And we had company to supper chat night,
and had apple dumplings for dessert Oh,
tell you, I'll never forget thatl I've had
apple dumplings By the dozens since then, but
none Of them ever seemed to take the place
Of those / missed that night. However, I've
never had desire to take fathers chessmen
out since-not even to learn TO play the game"
The stove soon began to take on the ap-
peasance of the foundation Of very small
