US a heavy blow.
Our youngest son is already gone and
our adopted son will have to leave the

The scripture must be fulfilled. It
speaks of wars and rumors of war and
the end is not yet. There will be peace
for a season. Rebellion has caused
this war nothing more nor less. II isn't

rebelled against the others till IT has

me beg each father and mother not to

do-for fighting men we must have if IT

The longest cold spell that I ever re-
member in the month of May has been
with us. If the cutting north wind has
not passed over icebergs 1 do not know
why it has been so long continued. The
young cotton plants have had gloomy
time of it. They have been whipped
shank of the young plant has become
so sore and weak that the top falls
down to droop and die. The scarcity of
cotton seed to plant makes the situation
more scary.
If 1 am a judge of prevailing condi-
tions-mucb 4 the cotton ground will
be left ida or replanted with corn and
peas. 1t is fortunate we can thus re-
pair the damage in this way, because
food stuff will be in lively demand from
now on until the war closes.
During the last years OF the Civil
war we were not allowed to raise cot
ton at all. We could raise wheat IN
those days and also corn and peas. The
large plantations were worked by slave
labor and we made food crops every
year, with more or less success. some
times the federal army gathered what
we planted. turning their horses on
wheat fields when the stalks were
breast high, but we did our best, hoping
always, but oftentimes much disap-
pointed in results.
have not seen many fields of cotton
this season but the little plants are
pale and yellow. Unless we can soon
nave warm showers of rain the most OF
these cotton plants will certainly droop
and die I should say we are not sure
at this time of a half crop of cotton in
this section of the state. Old time
farmers would say that the young cot
ton was dying with sore shin" The
tender little stalks have been mussed
and whipped to death with the Icy
north winds that are with US. Late
planted cotton crops will perhaps do
hetter.

SIR WALTER SCOTS DEATHBED.


This great writer, ] might say ma
gician with an active pen. had many vi
cissitudes in his long life. He was at
times very we'll off, at other times great
ly straitened as to poverty. He was
known and loved in two hemisphereS,
and like the most of truly great people
had envious neighbors near his home,
for 1t is recorded that he was actually
Kissed at the polls a few weeks before
his death by some who hated him. But
Death came TO Sir Walter Scott in due
time, and the great writer and poet
understood the end was nigh. He called
his son-in-law, Lockart, to his bed to
give him a parting word, and here IS
what he said when Eternity was beck
oning to him:
BE a good man, my dear; be a good
man. 1t is the only thing that will give
you comfort when you lie here!" Riches
amounted to nothing in the crisis; fame,
to still less; great deeds of authorship
brought small satisfaction, but being
good man made the exit easy and pleas
ant.
1 have stood by a deathbed that was
of this kind, where the dying could say,
at is all right with me now" My time
to go has come and I have no fear"
Nothing will count but right purposes
ana good actions IN that goou-Dye tLHle
of our lives
If there was no hereafter ii will pay
to be good man for the present ex-
istence, for it is safer and better to be
honest and true, to shun evil and avoid
temptation, to do right, because IL is
right, better for health, for peace and
for personal satisfaction
With human passions and embarrass-
ing imperfections, with the conflicts
with bad people and the difficulties that
attend disaster and disease, ii is never
an easy matter 10 walk the daily path
calm and serene; but it pays to keep
ones integrity through storm and
strain-as a preparation for the end
that will surely come to one and all of

THE APOSTLES OF SOCIALISM.

We are hearing a great deal more
about the strength of what Is called
socialism-than formerly-but there are
two distinct versions of what is recog-
nized as the creed of socialism. Some
advance the idea that the Savior or man
kind was a socialist. Nevertheless the
fact remains that Jesus Christ preach
ed directlN against the texts OF proml-
nent and a.thaistical socialists.
The growth of fanatical socialism has
much to do with revolutions in Euro
mean states. 1t has fed the flame of
unrest that forced the present war-oe-
cause it became apparent that Internal
wars were coming-civil strife would
ensue, if the rage of the factions was
not allowed to expend itself on neigh
boring nations-or the outside To-Day
there is more danger to German rulers
I'm the socialist doctrines Of Germany
than from French and English cannon.
There is more apprehension in England
of an Irish uprising and the enmity be-
tween labor and ca-'tal than from Ger
man subnia~:::cs. And there are con-
spirators in these United States. who
foment anarchy by adopting the social
ist tenets-as a cloak to rob the people
who have by thrift and industry accu-
muIated fortunes. Rabid socialism is
only anarchy in disguise. The good that
underlies the real endeavor to shield Ia
Dor from the tyranny of capital is turn
ed aside into a channel of taking away
what other people have earned by zeal
and honest endeavor-to give to assas-
sins.
In my humble opinion-not good for
much as l understandable war in Eu-
rope-if long continued will finally be to
divide out what rich people have col
lected-among those who prey upon the
passions and prejudices of those who
are unhappy and poor.
The French revolution in 1898 was a
revolt against a corrupt monarchy. 1t
soon got to be an attempt to destroy
everybody who had a home and a COM
petence. There are apostles of social
ism that will destroy all law ard all
ownership of property. They are more
dangerous than hungry wolves pursuing
the belated traveller in Russia.
