industrial unrest which may lead us
to a repetition of the French or the
Russian revolution"
Secretary Lane, of the Depart
ment of the Interior, says:
If Congress will appropriate the
relatively small sum which | have
asked for the construction of soldier
settlements in every State in the
Union, | can offer jobs almost inn
meaiately to 100. 900 of our returned
fig ting men, thus helping to stem
tho tide of industrial unrest pre-
d;e:ed by Secretyry Wilson; provide
farm homes for 25 900 of these men,
thr,s mitigating the evils of tenantry;
and bring into cultivation 800, 900
acres of at present unproductive
LAND, thus helping to make up the
deficiency in the rate of growth of
cult ted land as compared with the
rat OF growth of our population.
There can be no surer insurance for
the Nation than to put its men upon
the soil"

Mayor Thompson, of Chicago, has
been renominated for that office by
the Republicans of his city. There
has been such a hue and cry raised
over Thompson that the country had
an idea that he did not have much
of hold in his own home town.
The Democratic nominee, RObort
Nj. Sweizer. who is not so much OF
cheese" as his name would indi-
cate, received ten thousand less
votes than Thompson. The con
test is likely to be closer than at the
last election when these two op-
posed each other.-Mobile Register.

Only Flag Over Stars and Stripes

One flag alone flies above the
Stars and Stripes. 1t il the FLAG
bearing the emblem which symbol.
ICES the religion upon which the
principles of America have been
founded-and that emblem is the
Cross. 1t is a solemn sight on Sun
day morning to see the deck of a
great battleship with its line after
line of blue and white clad sailors.
all at attention. As they stand
thus, Old Glory is slowly hauled
down from high place of hers which
she has been so proudly and right
fully holding during the week: Then,
suddenly a thrill goes through the
heart of every Christian man aboard
az the Flag of the Cross rises gall
lantly to the place Old Glory had
formerly held. For a moment there
is silence, then as its folds swing
out to meet the sky and the sun
shine, the song. Onward Christian
Soldiers" " rings out across the air.
To the man who feels the signiti-
canoe of it all, particularly in these
days when it looks as though
great new brotherhood was about to
be born, the hOisting of the Flag of
the Cross is one of the most thrill
ing moments of the week. They
know that red cross on its blue field
is an outward symbol of tremendous
things about to be-of great move
ments under way everywhere for the
uplift and happiness of long time
blinded world
One of these mOmentous move
ments that has as its object the
hoisting of the Flag of the Cross
above every national flag that flies
is that of the Centenary movement
of the Methodist churches The NJ
K. Church, South, is today putting
on a great campaign to reviyify the
Church-lining up 100000 mem
bers of the denomination in league |
to pray for the spread of a vital
Christianity throughout the world. |

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot b,
Cured

by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure catarrh-
al deafness, and that is by a constitu-
tional remedy. Cacarrhai Deafness is
caused by an infiamed condition OF
the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube Is inflamed
you have q rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result
Unless the Inflammation can be re-
duced and this tube restored - its
normal conditions, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever. Many cases of deaf
ness are caused by catarrh, which is
an lnflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Medicine
acts through the blood on the mucous
surfaces of the system.

South's Hypothetical Need.

The New York Herald repeats an
often expressed opinion that the
South needs the Republican party:
yet it doubts the success of Chair
man Hays effort to introduce that
party to the favorable notice OF
South Carolina. 1t should appear
to the thoughtful student that if the
South needs the Republican party,
/ it Is no new need, but has existed
from the beginning. since the Re-
publican party is what it has al
ways been, and the South's situa-
tiOn has not changed so that you
would notice it; and. therefore,
there il here a long-existent need
that some how, has not been salts
fed. Is that true? Is it probable
that it is true? A need is like
vacuum: it is a constant appeal to
be filled; and we must conclude that
if it continues to be untitled after
all these years, the law of supply
and demand has ceased to operate.
If so. why? And what does Mr.
Hays propose to do about it?
1t is our own opinion that the
fact that the untitled need continues
to be mentioned year after year for
half a century, and nothing done, is
very fair evidence that it does not
exist. AS far as the South is con-
cerned there is no indication on its
part that it needs the Republican
party.
1t is possible that right on this
point the Republican statesmen
have made their greatest mistake.
They have argued from the top
downward instead of from the bot
tom up. The South may need
something, but the assumptin that
it needs the Republican party is ex-
tremely violent.-MObile Register

IN MEMORIAM.


Editor of the Beacon:
Sunday was sad, sad day for the
few old Confederate veterans in Nox-
u6ee, and not only for them, but for
friends and relatives, when we laid
Ito rest our dear friend and com
rade, Gen. E. D. Cavett, who answered
the last roll call. 1t viii not be many
years before We all will have crossed
over the river, and we know our dear
comrade and friend vii be waiting for
us at the gate. Oh! how we viii miss
nm; SO many Of his comrades sent
words of love and sympathy to Kim
and his dear ones, during the las davs
OF his illness, for he was loved by all.
We have been friends and comrades
1or iiIty-four years, passing through
all the terrible times that confronted
US after the war. God knows l loved
him, but submit to His will He lived
beyond the three score and tenyears,
and ! am constrained with Daniel of
old, know ye not that there is
prince and great man fallen this day
in Israel"
He was a devoted husband and ia
ther and friend; a kind, generous and
helpful neighbor; a progressive, en-
terprslng citizen, always ready to
help with his means everything that
tended to the betterment mentally,
morally and physically Of his fellow
man, He loved his home, family and
friends, and nothing afforded him
more pleasure than to mingle with
them and contribute to their pleasure
and happiness. His home, his heart
and his dreams were always open to
them No more devoted husband, fa-
ther and friend can be found. He
loved nature-he liked to listen to the
rusting song Of praise the grasses
whispered as they grew; and thee
murmuring bees and singing birds in
summer days singing anthems as
they flew; and they sang into his
heart grace and tender love, spirit
divine To him the whistling trees,
the murmuring brooks and shining
pebbles preached virtues and wis
dom's love. To him the whispering
grove was a holy temple, where Cod
drew nearer to his soul and each YER
dant spot was a shrine, where the
wild roses breathed vespers and the
evening dews on strings of fern
counted its beads in alteration of the
God he loved.
