.Jackson's lifetime, there was no
question as to who would have
been his successor.
''It is not to be expected that
the general public will be i'm
pressed by all this as the writer
was impressed. but SO far as we
are concerned, that is our estl-
mate of Stonewall Jackson, and
no writer of novels or history,
living or dead, can change that
impression in the slightest par
ticular-" "-Yorkville Enquirer.

TEMPERANCE.
Condemn! Eradicate! Extern
mate!

Condemn! EraQlcate! EAtelill-
mate!
These are three strong words,
but none too strong when applied
to the liquor traffic. The strang-
est thing in ali the world is that
Christendom does not rise en-
masse, and do all that the three
words signify. The supreme
enemy of the working man is
the liquor. It robs him of his
hard-earned wages, and give
him nothing in return. When
the leaders of the labor unions
open their eye to the facts in
the case, they will find that
the graspipg avarice of the
worst combinations is not to be
compared with the injure
wrought upon labor by the NAL
ignant liquor traftice. 1t may
we'll be conceded that the time
is not far distant when organized
labor will demand the condem-
nation, the eradication, the ex-
termination of the liquor traffic,
and may God speed the day.
Again, this abominable traffic
is the enemy Of the home.
There is enough Of wretched-
ness and sorrow incident to a
world where none are exempt
from hardship, suffering, pain
and death, but the misery
brought into millions of homes
as the result Of drink is the su-
premist misery that crushes and
breaks weary hearts and turns
these homes into gloomy, grief
filled, hopeless caves of death.
Then, again, the liquor traffic
is the most persistent and deadly
enemy Of the church of the liv-
ing God. It is the mission Of
the Church and of Christianity
to alleviate human woes, to
improve the condition of life, to
elevate the human race. to en-
rich mankind, with all good, to
open before the poorest, the
weakest, the most forlorn and
sinful, the doors Of immortal
hope. Who is there so utterly
blind and insensible as not to see
and know that the liquor traffic
increases and embitters human
woes. Drink is the source Of
the most aggravated woes that
aflict humanity. If it We're not
for drink, half the woes of earth
would be done away with.
Surely, it is the grandest
work of the church to lay hold
of those who wander from the
paths of righteousness, and lead
them back to virtue and peace.
Or better than this, in the very
beginning Of responsible child
hood, to hold them with the
hand of love, and guide their
feet in the way of holiness and
save them from the folly Of sin.
But, alas, and alas, the saloon,
the liquor traffic is the foe of all
this! It is the liquor traffic that
ruins more precious lives, and
turns more men and women
away from the paths of life unto
the path of death, than any
other agency. Why not ex-
terminate this outrageous busi-
ness2 Why not sweep it from
the face of the earth? Why not
rise in the name of our God and
make and end to this source Of
destruction?-Pittsburg Chris
tian Advocate.

Do you know that the money
spent for drink in the United
States would meet all the ne1
expenses of the government
and not only pension the dis,
abled soldiers and give old age
pension of twenty dollars q
month to all persons over sixty
years of age, but would also pro
vide for the education of each
child in the United States from
five to eighteen years of age!
Do you know that license fees
do not meet the cost to the
government for the liquor busi
ness! The liquor business Of
Chicago pays to the city sever
million dollars in license fees
but it costs the city nearly
seventy million dollars to main.

spends nearly two and a hall

300 Mormons From Salt Lake
Visit the Joseph Smith Farm
at Palmyra.

party OF 3OO Latter LAY odlhVs
from Salt Lake City arrived at
PALMYRA this morning in a
special train over the West Shore
Railroad and held Special re,
ligious services on Mormon Hill.
The pilgrims were under the
personal direction of @. ?. Pypel
of Salt Lake City and the tou1
was arranged by G. Albert
Smith, a grandson of Joseph
Smith, the founder of the Latter
Day Saints.
The weather was inclement
when the party arrived, but
every auto9pbile and hack in
Palmyra was in line and the
pilgrims were taken out to Nor,
mon Hill. Arriving there at lC
O'Clock, the Tabernacle choir OF
200 voices sang several selections
and prayers We're said, with
other exercises.
Returning from the sacred
mount from which Joseph
Smith dug the Golden plates
from which the book of Mormon
was written, the party viewed
the Chapman farm, which was
the boyhood home of Joseph
This farm was purchased recent
ly by the Mormous and it is
said that a memorial building
is soon to be erected there, At
ter inspecting places of interest
the pilgrims We're taken to
Grange Hall, where they were
received by Pliny T, Sexton,
president of the First National
Bank, who brought out for in
spection the original proof sheets
of the Mormon Bible, in the
handwriting of Joseph Smith.
These sheets were purchased
years ago by Banker Sexton
from Major Gilbert, who set up
in type the first Mormon Bible
for Joseph Smith.
These sheets are priceless in
the eyes Of the Latter Day
Saints. Even to this day when
questions of doctrine come up
the disputants have recourse to
the original handwriting Of the
founder and lawgiver of the
sect. Banker Sexton keeps these
sheets in the bank vaults. He
refused a fabulous sum of
money for them.
The visitors were close mouth
ed and would have nothing to
say about contemplated build
ings upon the Chapman farm.
It is understood, however, that
the Mormon church is negotat-
ing for the purchase of Mormon
Hill, which is owned by the
Sampson family, and contem-
plate erecting a temple upon the
property.

$4,000 Fire At Laurens.

Laurens, Nov. 3.-A careful canvass
among the merchants and owners of the
buildings burned in the fire here last
night shows that the total loss will
amount to between 100000 and $4,000.
No clue has yet been found which
would lead one to make guess as to the
fires origin, though it is generally he
lieved to have been caused by a defective
lue or rats.

efs4'a'ssssssssn' ssssaa n'11
o .N1occasions.
eN.9rhe first time I eveEsa
Gen, Jackson, the writer once
heard Capt. Grist say, was on
the occasion of the capture of
Manassas Junction in August,
1862. The Junction was a de-
pot of supplies belonging to the
Yankee army, and our men
were almost famished, not hav-
ing had a satisfying meal for
days.
1T was very well understood
that we were to remain at the
Junction but a short time, and
it devolved upon me personally
to see that my company got a
share of the captured provisions.
Under the circumstances the
most practical way to get what
was wanted was to find Gen.
jackson himself. I did this,
coming upon the General by the
sidel of a long train of freight
cars.
There were about him, COM
ing and going, a large number
of officers in full uniform, and,
as far as appearance went, he
was the most inconspicouus
man in sight. He did not even
have a sword. I saluted and
told him what I wanted. Imme-
diately he pointed to a commits
sary house a hundred yards
away, and tola me to go there
and get my supplies.
Accompanied by q half
dozen men I did as directed, re-
,peated Gen. Jaekson's verbal
orders, and got everything that
the members of my company
needed.
There was a plenty for
everybody, and to spare, but so
far as the provisions were con-
cerned, we did not get the bene-
fit of more than two square
meals, because almost every
thing had to be thrown away in
the march to Manassas Plains.
jackson looked to me like
a very ordinary kind of a fellow
until he spoke, and when he
spoke, you not ony felt, but
knew, that you had the law.
1.-The feeling Of the men was,
and I shared it to a greater ex-
tent than / ever shared such a
feeling with regard to any other
man I had ever seen before or
have ever seen since, that Gen.
Jackson was the living embodi-
ment of righteous duty. There
was no selfshness in his make
up. He knew no master ex-
cept Almighty God, and consid-
cred Gen. Lees orders as COM
ing from the Master.
There was never a minute
that Jackson was unwilling to
take any risk or share any peril
that he required Of the humblest
common soldier, and he never
spared himself any more than
he spared his soldiers.
There Were thousands VINO
thought Jackson should have
been commander-in-chief of the
Confederate forces, but there is
no good reason to think that he
ever aspired to or desired such a
position.
He had absolute confidence
in admiration for Gen. Lee, and
even if the authorities had de-
sired to place him over Lee, the
probability is that he would not
have been willing to submit to
the change.
Had Lee been killed during

THE GREAT
COMMANDER
Stonewall Jackson, as Capt. I. M.
Grist Remembered Him.

Miss Mary Johnston's latest
novel, The Lon1 Roll,," is get
ting alot of valuable advertising
because of the authors alleged
ignorant and mendacious mis-
representation of the character
of Stonewall Jackson.
We have not read Miss john
ston's book, but understand that
the row has been raised because
represented the famous general
as a boorish, unbalanced fellow,
fond of display, and dissatisfied
because he did not get the meas
ure of recognition to which his
merits entitled him.
Although the present editor OF
the Enquirer has no first hand
information to offer, he feels as
well qualified to deny this i'm
preston as if he had served un-
der Jackson himself.
This remark is based partly
on the fact that he has read hun
dreds of honest pages about this
redoubtable soldier, but more
particularly on the testimony of
the late L. NJ. Grist, the writer's
father. who was captain of Coz

CONTRACT IS CONTINUED
Freight Rate Agreement in Force
One Week Longer.

Ihe contract between the government
owned Panama Railroad Company and its
co-carriers. the Pacific Mail and Canfor-
na-Atlantic steamship companies. in re-
gard to freight rates from San Francisco
to New York. via the Panama railroad
has been continued by Secretary of War
Dickinson until April so
In accordance with notice given the
steamship companies six months ago the
contract would have expired today. I'm
der the contract which has been con-
tinued the Pacific co-carriers of the
railroad receive 20 per cent of the freight
rate. and tho Panama railroad. with its
connecting Atlantic steamship line, re-
cefves the remaining 80 per cent.
The War Department intends TO make
the division 90 and 40 per cent. The de-
lay in putting this arrangement into ef-
feet Is due to an effort being made to
prevent any action by the government
causing rate war between the Pacific
co-carriers Of the railroad and the Ameri-
can Hawaiian steamship Company, which
are competitors.
