sEeGARs HURT SOUTH.
Bishop Lays Failure to Get lmmi-
grants to Them. 81.


"Mischievous mendicancy Is re-
sponsible for the failure Of the i'm
migration tide to turn southwark, ac-
cording to Bishop Warren Gambler OF
the Southern Methodist church. In
an interview, the bishop said:
More than the failure Of the rail-
ways to advertise the resources OF
the south and more than the race
problem, there are certain groups OF
southerners who have injured the
south at the north and in Europe by
a mischievous mendicancy.
These are they who have been
ready to run to northern millionaires
for money to endow our colleges, and
even for money to cure the alleged
diseases of some of our people. There
by they have advertised the south as
a section teeming with ignorance,
stinginess, mortal diseases and degen-
crates who were made degenerates by
their ailments.
They have secured a few hundred
thousand dollars by their mendicant
pleas, but they have damaged us to
the amount of millions, not to speak
of injuries worse than financial loss
es. Their readiness to ask and receive
any sort of gifts has presented the
south before the world as a poverty
stricken, disease infected, ignorant
people, among whom no intelligent
immigrant would wish to live, how
ever rich and cheap the soil OF our
section may be. 1t Is time to call
halt on all this persistent mendicancy.
Our people are able and willing
to solve their own educational prop
lens. We do not need to beg any
man to pay our school bills, or teach
us how to conduct our educational
institutions. A Asuper-serviceable .South-
ern association may as we'll dissolve
or direct its missionary efforts TO some
other section.
Much ado has been made about
the hookworm In the south, and
Rockefeller has seen fit to give
large sum to be used In purging
southern people of alleged lazy bugs.
1T Is enough to say that any ana
all Of our people are quite. able TO
pay their own doctors bills We are
able to treat our own patients and
we would be still more able to care
for them If our section were not so
constantly advertised to its hurt by
our mendicant theorists and reform
ers.
What the south needs very much
Is to be let alone. She has been the
clinical subject for all sorts of theor-
lists and reformers long enough"

Tho "IIiad" Not a Myth.-The fall

Tho "Iiad" Not a Myth.-The fall
of Troy after ten year siege by the
Grecian princes about 1854 B. c. has
Ions been considered as a rather
mythical foundation for Homer's i'm
mortal epic, the 'Illiad." But in 1876
the excavations of Schliemann on the
reputed site of Troy brought to light
under the ashes of two superincum-
bent fortress cities the remains an
swering to the descriptions of Homer
and a hidden vault containing goblets,
bowls, vases, gems, jewels, armes de
luxe and like articles in gold, silver
and bronze. These treasures are now
generally acknowledged to be the ver-
table remnants of the once vast riches
of Priam, which, although depleted by
ten years of costly warfare in the pur-
chase of supplies and mercenaries
and the final sack of the ruined city,
were thus preserved to enrich the mu-
seums of Europe and greatly increase
our realization of the wealth and art
of that ancient Ilium, which we have
hitherto been disposed to consider a
