All patriot hearts beat high
with one accord.
Exulting in the splendid need
Of praise
Spoken of one h an whom no worth

Hath trod our land. Though CEN
turtles have fed
Since on the fair green shore he
knelt to God
And begged a blessing on the new
found world
All souls attuned to noble things
and true
Have felt the greatness Of hat

In whom nor greed nor baseness
had a part.
Fair Spain. clasp hands with US
across the seas.
To thee we owe this valiant prince
OF men.
Who through thee braved the deep
and gained a world
And lit the lamp Of faith where
night had reigned.
Columbus, knight of God. thy name
shall live.
Aye, on and on throughout the
eternal years.

KINDNESS. .

With beauty sculptured DER.
All me. tits true l haven't much
OF this worlds gilded store!
Yet l can help a needy ono
x Who may come to my door.
I would give half my food and drink.
I've done that oft before.
What are these forms. these monuments.
These pillars great Of stone?
Do they give cheer when life IL drear
To those weary o
An, no! They cannot shed kindness,
Stay burning, rushing tears.
Their forms arc most Indifferent
To cruel, crushing fears.
! can give smiles to warm the heart
Zen though dark clouds hang low.
No greater gift hath any NJ
Than kindness to bestow.
i can speak with a softened voice
Or sing a song of glee.
These are my gifts to freely spend
Mercy and sympathy.

It may be that we are stupid, but for the life Of us we cannot under stand why it would not be as equit- able for the government to issue $250,000,000 in 4 per cent bonds of small denomination to be exchanged with farmers for 5.000O00 bales of cotton at 10 cents per pound, as for the government to spend millions in irrigating alkali lands of the Wes;
 building railroads in Alaska, paying $2O,000,O00 for the Philippines ol doing some of the other absurd things with money that has characterized Republican administrations. It may be that we are not only stupid, but that our views is distorted, for frcn the way We see it at this distance from the national capital. the invest ment of e50 millions in cotton at 10 cents would yield a profit to Uncle Sam. If the United States has ever quit putting money into any of the other projects mentioned, the news has no. percolated this far South.

THE IDLE NEGRO,

"One thing that should be absolute ly stamped out throughout the South, declares the Houston (TeXas) Post, ..is the habit of negro women feeding a, host of trifling. negro males at the expense of employers. This Is ,nn- portant not only because it has an important bearing upon the cost of living, but because it is of the high est importance to the negroes them selves. A negro living in idleness and living in the kitchen of white people at the invitation of an employed serv- ant is not only nuisance, but he is public menace He is disgrace to the negro race and both law and custom should scourge him into the only thing that can ever save him, which is useful industry"
 These are the kind of negroes who find so much time to spend Ill barrooms and dives, either conceiving michief or being led into mischief Pine Bluff is no exception in this re- spect. The greater part of it's negro population is composed of good. law abiding industrious negroes. but there are enough of the other kind to 3e g menace.
 The black who hangs out in sa(lch! and gamble is as bad in his way as the white man who does the same thing. Both prey on the working man; both defy the law; both are careless as to methods of getting
 money if "hard up. In addition, the negro of this class seems to seek te incite others against law and order and the rules that obtain in this land regulating the places of the whites and blacks.
 Not many days since, one of three officers watching a negro dive heard a mouthy black deprecating and slandcring him aud other officers. and telling what he would do if they at tempted to arrest him. When mouthy black received the tbrashing he de- served, he hurried with his complaint to his employer, who made the r!s' take of taking the negro's side wlth- out investigating. A good negre should be protected from bad white men. but good white men arc only storing up trouble for themselves by taking the part of bad negro, or a bad white, for that matter.

The Dawn of Christianity
As Described in THE NEW TESTAMENT Translated from the Original Greek.

secretly for fear of the Jews, be- cought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and P1late gave him leave. He came therefore, anu took the body of Jesus.
 39. And there came also Nlcode- mus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture oi myrrh and aloes, about an hundreu pound weight.
 40. Then took they the body or Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spieces, as the manner or the Jws is ot bury.
 A. Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, where in was never man yet laid.
 42. There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews' preparation day; for the sepulchre was night at hand.

PRESS OPINIONS
PRESS COMMENT.
"TlIe Dread of Disease"

pr. Goldwater, the New York com missioner of health, has recently pub lished an article advocating "the in auguration of universal periodic medl- cal examinations as an lndlspensaple means for the control of all disease. As an illustration fthe need and lm- portance of such a measure. he cltes the recent examination of the em- ployees of a New York bank. Every one of them was found abnormal. and "on the sure road to disease oI heart, lungs, kidneys or blood ves- sels."
 Possibly that discovery may have been useful and beneficial to a rew of the men, that it was so to all may reasonably be doubted. It may nave enabled some of them to ward orr cAc diseases that Threatened. In the cases of others, however, impaired health must have been owing to the condl- tions of, life and work, conditions beyond the individuals control or power to remedy. To tell such per son about the damaging but unsus- pected processes going on within him is to do him no kindness. His latent 1 malady is far less likely to be pro- gressive while he is unaware of it; 1 ignorance acts as stay of execution. 1 The danger of such universal medi- cal examination as fife health commits sioner pleads for is that it would transform innumerable happy and to II intents and purposes healthy per sons into melancholy watchers of their own symptoms, who would never again dare to exert themselves hope ; fully and eagerly in the business or
 life. So far from prolonging life, inl- parting such dire knowledge of them
 selves to people would be the means of shortening their term and of limit
 in gtheir happiness and their useful ness.
 4 A healthy mental attitude Ts the
 grCitest of all helps in preserving ! physical sanity; break dow healthy
 mental attitude, and the baleful germs
 that are in all of us will riot uncon-
 trolled. If all the employees of a
 bank are, according to the medical ex- aminer, pathological eases, what num-
 Der of the employees of af actory or a
 department store would be pronounc-
 ed entirely sound? Virtually all of us go through life with engines that
 arc more or less imperfect, but that dc their work satisfactorily enough as long as we do not watch them, tinker over them and fuss with them. A compulsory, universal medical ex-
 animation would proDably result in
 widespread depression and despair.- Youths Companion.

Tie Pine Bluff Chamber of Con-
 merce wired Senator Clarke that tae business men of this section appreci- ate his, determination to secure fed- seral aid for the Southern cotton grow Eers at this time. If every commercial body in the South would do likewise, sthe administration would be impress led with the fact that the Democratic South is solid for federal assistance
 to the cotton industry. And with this light, the administration might see
 things differently.

 ROePERITY
SIGNS OF PROSPERITY.

The makers of a popular small nrice automobile report selling ll,4'9 more cars during last month thah during September, 1913, the total num- her of cars sold and delivered dur ing September, 1914. being 2l,s1o. Each of these cars cost the purchasers $500 or more, showing that nearly Il million dollars were spent by 2l,oto people with this one manufacturing firm. Considering that there are many other auto manufacturers working their factories at full speed, it IS evident that the amount of money spent for autos during September was enormous.
 This doesn't indicate there is a dearth of money in the land. People do not spend millions for pleasure during hard times." The European war staggered America for little while, but the yankees are regainlng their confidence no wthey perceive there was never occasion to lose 1t; that tho war will really create more business for America.
 Agents of the countries represent ed in the triple alliance last week placed orders with American manu- facturors for 500 motor trucks. This is small order, but it helps. Each one of these trucks will probably bring at least $500O ill gold from Europe to America.
 Reports of tho department of com. mcrce show that the exports of wheat are larger than normal. We get god for the wheat shipments. The steadi- ness of the wheat market and the gradual upward trend show that traders are confident that prices are not going to recede. The longer the war lasts the stronger the prices for cereals will get.
 There are said to be in New York more than fifty buyers of supplies for European armies, who are placing or dcrs for blankets. uniforms, under clothing, tents. hospital supplies, ccmmissary supplies, quartermaster stores, arms, ammunitions and all sorts of army munitions.
 They are placing orders for mill lions of woolen blankets for imme. diate use. Materials for uniforms are being purchased in vast amounts. It is reported that one Baltimore firm has contracts for millions of shirts alone. The raw material for them will consume vast amount of cotton.
 There Is shortage of materials for

tents. and factories are busy max ing up huge orders that will consume large amount of cotton.
 Indiana factories have orders fol 100 .OOO saddle trees, with others of similar volume for harness and equlp- ment for cavalry, artillery and bag gage wagons.
 2 The provision and canned goods trades are beginning to feel the ef- feet of the large demand caused by the war.
 The greatest benefit to accrue to tine South from the war is the aglta- tion in favor of substituting cotton for materials now imported. This agita- ton will result in the utilization Of millions of bales of cotton for pur- poses to which cotton has never been put, This means there will be a greatly increased demand for the chief product of the South; that 1t will not be many years before the South can dispose of all the cotton 1t can produce at good price.
 All those things indicate that a wave of great industrial activity and prosperity is rolling toward us, and ali that We must do to obtain our share is to be prepared to ride the wave when it reaches us. This is no time to be standing idle with a coun- tenance that portrays thick gloom. It is q time to be. busy planning and making ready for the commercial de- velopment to follow. In the mean time. push your business. If you are a merchant put on your good clothes, don smile, offer attractive goods and attractive prices, advertise and reap in the schekels.
 There is money ill the land. That people can spend millions for autos proves it.

Hurrah for Hoke Smith and James P. Clarke! Three cheers for BoB Henry! They are the boys who have the courage to rise and tell the pub- lie money grabbers fYom the West and the North to their teeth that the South has been contributing long enough to projects to enrich them, and that the time has now. arrived when the South demands little of the treatment the remainder of the country has received at the hand of Uncle Sam.

With all it's optimism, the Beaumont (Texas) Enterprise finds it is im- possible to overlook some evidences Of stringent money, referring as an instance to the case of poor little Miss Helen De Witt, a New York heiress who is attending modest boarding school. Her niggardly guardians al- lowed the poor child only $12,O00 a year for pin money, and she had hard work forcing them through the courts to increase her allowance to a beggarly $2O.0OO a year. But maybe they are bunch of old tightwads who begrudge poor girl a lit'le spending none, and their skimpy al- lowarce may not mean that they haven't got the money.
