James Madison presided over
the destinies of the country then
while George Clinton. an English
man by birth, but an American
in heart, looked after the desti-
MES of the senate.
The year Of 1911 has been
marked by a readjustment of the
political affairs Of many coun-
tries. The dynasty of the Bra
ganza Of Portugal has been over
thrown. A republic has been es-
tablished. An infant emperor
of China. in childish bliss, is ig-
norant Of the struggle going on
which will deprive him of his
kingdom.
The records of Europe of 100
years ago while not so radical.
were none the less alarming at
that time. The records did not,
perhaps. command the attention
as did the ones of the years i'm
mediately preceding. No nation
fell. One old dynasty was push
ed aside by a newer one. France
and England continued to fight
one another on land and sea.
Napoleon had his hands full in
Spain and Portugal, where the
duke of wellington was winning
victories right and left. There
was no fighting in Germany.
Prussia was still humble and de-
pendent, while Russia kept on a
mask of friendliness for. France.
But the world was making prog
ress 100 years ago. 1t is making
progress today. Step by step
science is mastering problems
thought to be impossible then.
Although a balloon showered the
tidings of the new heir to the
throne of France over the coun-
try, it was one Of the antiquated
pattern. The aeroplane was then
little dreamed Off There were
no electric wires. to. carry mes
sages from country to country
and over the width of water.
People travelled by stage coach
and mail was delivered on horse
back. Yet the world was a busy
world. When we look back ov-
err the yellowed pages of history
we can realize what wonderful
strides we are making now.

: A Railroad Record.

The interstate commerce COM
mission reports that during the
fiscal year ending June 80 last
the railroads of the United States
killed 10. 1876 persons and injured
$50, 159. One railroad employee
was killed to every 458. and one
injured to every Is employed.
This is a fine record. for which
undertakers a NJ physicians
should be duly grateful. and also
lawyers and claim agents. The
railroads surely hslp their bus.
mess and promote the blessings
Of prosperity among them. But
it is just q bit tough on those
who ride and work on the cars,
and those who muster up suffic-
lent courage to cross the tracks.
Perhaps, however, they don't
count. AS mere incidents of
railroad transportation it is cas-
Ter to kill 'em off occasionally
than to be overconcerned about
their safety, and so possibly de-
plete the dividends. True. they
do leave widows and orphans.
but the widows and orphans are
seldom the same widows and or
phans who hold the common
stock. so good business won't
permit one to be too particular.
And besides, the season is at
hand when the railroads may
get out statistics Of their
own, and show with many a
flourish and blowing of trum-
pets that they didn't kill a sim

Letter From Lieutenant Davis.
Blue Springs, Miss,

Dear Gazette
/ see in q former issue Of your
paper an article from E.T. Smith
of Gloster, Miss. on P~ensioning
of the Confederate veterans, sug-
gesting the small sum Of $11.OO
per month. 1t is but reasonable
that this should be done. The
state is due it to them, They
are the ones that fought her bat
ties in the great struggle for
state rights, and then through
the struggle Of reconstruction
and Of throwing off the Carpet
Bag rule. They are the ones
that took hold of the state when
all were in ruin and in bankrupt
cy, brought her through the
struggle for State Government.
They are the ones that rebuilt
the waste places, her cities, her
colleges and in fact made her
the great state that we boast of
today. They have filled the most
important Offices Of the govern
ment. until they have died out, or
!got too old for duty.
Now, let the young and rising
generation show their apprecia-
ton for such wonderful favors
done them: It is true that the
state has p~ensioned a few. indi-
gent soldiers that would conde-
send to ask for it. the pitance
OF about $25. 90. She has built a
nice home for the old soldiers,
which is vel, enough as far as it
goes, but the majority of the
needy will not accept It. !
What they want Is q pension
for all. the well-to- do, as well as
the needy, Ifor they ali fought
the same battles. The ricHean
donate their part to The needy of
his fellowseomrade. orSte his Mid
ow if he sees TT. The Ga soldier
has paid his portion in pension
ing his enemies in the north. why
not the state pay them something
now, when they are old and
needy? This should be dor.e at
once That thou doeth it. quick
ly." while he is alive and in
need, when he is dead he will
not need it, for 1.-THE dead know
not any thing, neither have they
any reward, for the memory of
them is forgotten"
Now, as Mi. Smith has sug-
gested, have every Camp in. the
state call q meeting at the ear
lest possible time, pass such
resolutions as to bring it before
our senate and legislature, that
they may act upon it at the earli-
est opportunity, and if they pass
it by unheeded they certainly are
not true to the South, It seems
to me this should have been done
sooner, for there has been many
!, passed away that could have
been helped.
It reminds me of a family Of
boys, after their father had rails
ed them, gave them a good edu-
cation they marry and he settles
them in q good home, and when
he is old he turns his entire es-
tate over to them, then he be-
comes helpless. he is in the way,
he is refused his favorite corner
where he can chew his tobacco
and spit in the fire place, he is
placed in the back ground, out
Of the way Of society.
Now, fellow comrades of M.
P. Lowery Camp. come together
and attend to this matter at
once. It is true.1 have not been
meeting with you, but my heart
is with you.<
With best wishes, / am your

rope was then rocked with polit.
ical agitations and the spirit OF
unrest was felt everywhere, says
the Commercial Appeal.
In our own country the pioneers
of the West struggled with the
Indians. The great battle OF
Tippecanoe was fought. Gen.
Harrison won his title and clear
ed the way to the presidency by
defeating the allied Indian, tribes
on that memorable morning OF
Nov. Z.
The year closed with the first
of the theatre fires, and Rich
mond, Va, still has the record OF
that awful disaster in the ar.
chives of the city. 1t was on
the night after Christmas The
Bleeding Num- was beng pre-
scented. The theatre was filled
with notable people. The gov
ernor of the state was one who
lost his life, with nearly one hun
dred others. We have had many
theatre fires since, but this was,
no doubt, the most disastrous IN
many respects.
But of greater Importance was
the situation to Europe, for 9
son was born to the great Napo-
leon. That most unhappy OF
princes sa v the light of day on
the morning of March 20. He
was SUCCESSFULLY known as King
of Rome, Prince of Parma and
Duke of Reichstadt. His birth
was the occasion of much rejoic-
ing. It was believed by the ma
jority. that the birth of Napo-
Icons son would be the most eff
fectual guarantee Of the Bona
parte dynasty. The clouds that
hung over it's future it was be-
lieved to be destined to be blown
away. Good fortune seemed to
smile upon the young emperor.
A baby's hand had been sent by
destiny to strengthen the hand
which had so long held the rod
of power.
On March 20 all Paris rejoiced.
Peace seemed certain. Cannons
doomed announcing the birth OF
the imperial child. 1t was pub.
licly announced that if Napoleon
held q girl in his arms twenty
one guns would be fired. The
multitude listened. When tbs
twenty-second shot was hearc
Paris knew that a son had beer
given the emperor and shouts re.
sounded from street to street,
from one public place to another.
Frenzied crowds surrounded the
palace. Austria and France were
united by a tie Of blood. France
was destined to be ruled by Ma.
poleon H., if all went well. All
did not 60 well and there is nc
sadder chapter in the history of
the vanity of human wishes than
that which tells the captive life
and early death of the Duke of
Raichstadt.
If France gloried over the
birth of a babe, in England anx
ious ministers brooded over the
approaching death of a king.
George Ill, at the age of 70, was
