4 Tetterine Works Wonders.
Rev. 0. P. Laboury, Centerville, R. 1.,
writes-. “I enclose two dollars to get some
of your Tetterine. It has done wonders on
three persons to whom I had given a little
of my small supply. They were radically
cured of Eczema."
Tetterine quickly relieves skin diseases in

HOW IS MILLENNIUM TO BE
SPENT.

tion follows close upon the destruc
tion, and that blessed state of peace
prevails, when “violence shall no more
be heard in the land.” Isa. 60:18. The
light of the sun and moon have been
dispensed with also, which shows that
they have been destroyed, but the
Lord is now the light of Jerusalem,
showing its rehabilitation. Again the
time is declared in Isa. 11:11, when
such conditions shall obtain, “And it
shall come to pass in that day, that
the Lord shall set His hand again the
second time to recover the remnant of
His people.” And when was the first?
When Christ was born into the world,
“I come not except to the lost sheep
of the house of Israel.”
But one passage perplexes us. When
Satan is loosed again, he goes forth
once more to deceive the nations, and
to array them against the “beloved
city.” And we thought the wicked ut
terly destroyed at Christ’s coming, and
that the sword would be abolished.
No, a sixth part of Gog and Magog is
left (Ezek. 39:2), after the great bat
tle where beast and fowl are called
to feast on kings and captains. This
battle and feast are depicted in Rev.
19:18, in the selLsame way, the oc
casion is the fall of the “false proph
et” before Christ Jesus. So, when
Satan makes a muster a thousand
years later, this “sixth part” has mul
tiplied, for they appear as “sands of
the sea.” Fire from heaven devours
them. Still this don’t look like peace,
or that the sword had been sheathed.
Understand that peace and a cessation
of arms are extended to Christian na
tions, but not to the heathen. Which,
however, were nothing but a personal
opinion without the Bible to sustain it.
See Isa. 57:19-21, “Peace, peace to
him that is far off, and to him that is
near, saith the Lord; and I will heal
him. . . . But there is no peace, saith
my God, to the wicked.” Yet He holds
out to them the hand of entreaty (Isa.
45:20): “Assemble yourselves and
come; draw near together, ye that are
escaped of the nations.” Then in
verse 22, “Look unto me and be
saved, all the ends of the earth.*’
THE SWEETEST SINGER IN THE
WORLD.
Who is it? The mocking bird, of
course. The sunshine of Dixie scintil
lates in its liquid notes. The sweet
singer of the Southland, famous the
world around, knows no competitor in
the softness, purity and melody of its
musical notes.
And what the sunshine of the South
has accomplished in softening and
sweetening the tones of the mocking
bird, has its parallel in the field of in
strumental music, for it was a South
ern piano house that is responsible
for perfecting the superb Ludden &
Bates paino, claimed by critics to
possess the sweetest tone of any piano
that has yet been built. Professional
musicians pronounce its notes abso
lutely free from the “metallic quality
which piano builders have found so
much difficulty in avoiding.
It is this “Mocking Bird of the Piano
World,” the peerless Ludden & Bates
Piano, which is eliciting so much
praise from the members of The Gold
en Age Piano Club. A beautifully il
lustrated catalogue describing the five
different styles will be sent free on re
quest to any reader. Address Ludden

The interchangeable mileage book regulation re
quiring the exchange of coupons for tickets has been
the subject of criticism. Much of such criticism
arises because the exact facts and conditions are not
generally known.
In order that the public may be correctly informed
the railway companies make the following state
ment, having full faith in the fairness of public
opinion when the matter is thoroughly understood.
An interchangeable mileage book, as its name in
dicates, may be used for obtaining transportation
over any line party to the interchangeable book ar
rangement. The coupons from these books are equiva
lent to cash, and to safeguard their transmission to
the Treasurer of each railroad company, the require
ment is made for the exchange of the coupons at
ticket windows for transportation, thus causing the
mileage coupons to be placed in the hand of bonded
ticket agents who must account to the Auditing De
partment of each line for their value.
No one will claim that it is unreasonable for a rail
way company to require a traveler to purchase a
ticket instead of paying the money on the train.
The object of this requirement is to have one man,
the ticket agent, handle the money and sell tickets,
either for cash or coupons from an interchangeable
mileage book, and thus make a record of what the
Company has sold; another man, the conductor, to
collect the tickets, and thus make a record of their
use, and thereby have an additional check against the
agent, who must account for the purchase price
either in cash or coupons.
The coupons from interchangeable mileage books
represent cash, for the reason that they are the only
evidence of a claim against the railroad selling the
mileage book, and the Company accepting such cou
pons for sale of ticket is paid by the road selling the
mileage book only upon presentation of the actual
coupons. This is not always possible where the con
ductor lifts the coupons on the train, because he does
not have the same facilities for safeguarding such
coupons, and should they become lost, the railroad
honoring the mileage book would have no means of
securing proper compensation for the service per
formed. The necessity of preserving each coupon is
therefore apparent.
Every well organized business concern adopts
regulations to insure the safety of its cash.

Further on in verse 23, “I have sworn
by myself, the word is gone out of
my mouth in righteousness, and shall
not return, That unto me every knee
shall bow, every tongue shall swear.”
Yet it appears at Satan’s release
from chains, that all mankind have
not accepted Christ. To the contrary,
those refusing to bow are there by
numberless thousands. How, then, is
the prediction above to come true?
Turn to I Cor. 15:25, “For He must
reign, till He hath put all enemies
under His feet. It is a matter of sub
jection, then, and not of acceptance.
Then, in verse 28, “And when all
things are subdued unto Him, then
shall the Son be in subjection to Him
(God),” showing that authority is
meant and not salvation. So, Brother
Haynes concludes war to be necessary
to reduce all to subjection, hence,

Interchangeable Mileage
Facts Worthy of Careful Consideration
through His reign or the thousand
years, war continues. And his opinion
seems fortified by Satan’s final at
tempt against the Holy City. But such
a position contravenes the declara
tion “nation shall not lift up sword
against nation,” that which is to re
sult on His rising to “shake terribly
the earth.” And all these things must
be reconciled, for the Lord hath
spoken them, and they shall in no wise
fail, not in one jot or in one tittle.

A GREAT FORWARD MOVEMENT.
Every true Southern man rejoices
when any Southern industry takes a
great forward step. Life Insurance
experts, the world over, have agreed
that small life insurance companies,
while perfectly secure, could not com
mand the confidence and hence could
Attention is invited to the check system in depart

other devices for the purpose of proper accounting.

They are good on a greater number of railroads.
There are no restrictions as to the passenger trains
on which exchange tickets purchased with inter
changeable mileage coupons can be used.
They give the passenger the benefit of short line
mileage where it would not be practicable in many
instances if mileage coupons were honored on the
train.
The exchange regulation is of benefit to the rail
way companies for the following reasons:
It insures proper accounting.
It safeguards the accurate checking of baggage.
It relieves the conductors of much detail labor,
thereby permitting them to give more time and at
tention to the operation of their trains, thus insuring
to a greater degree the safety of passengers.
It makes it possible to ascertain the volume of
passenger travel from each station and to determine
the facilities necessary.
The exchange regulation has been the subject of
judicial review before Railroad Commissioners and
State Courts, and the reasonableness of the require
ment has been sustained.
The regulations were called into question in a case
before the Interstate Commerce Commission, in
which that Commission said: •
“IN A WORD, THE RIGHT TO USE EXCHANGE
ORDERS AND MILEAGE BOOKS IS IN THE NA
TURE OF A PRIVILEGE, VOLUNTARILY AC
CORDED BY CARRIERS, UNDER THEIR
TARIFFS, AND MUST BE ACCEPTED BY THOSE
WHO USE SUCH SPECIAL FARES WITH ALL
LAWFUL AND NON-DISCRIMINATORY LIMITA
TIONS THAT MAY BE ATTACHED TO THEM.”
not do the good that the larger com
panies could. It is well understood
that until life insurance companies
get twenty millions of insurance in
force, the stock holders get no divi
dends, and this fact makes the con
tinuity of management uncertain.
Therefore the consolidation of the
Greensboro Life Insurance Company,
of Greensboro, N. C., the Security Life
and Annuity Company of Greensboro,
N. C., and the Jefferson Standard Life
Insurance Company of Raleigh, under
the name of the latter company, and
with headquarters at Greensboro, N.
C., giving the policy holders of the
three companies a company with over
thirty-seven millions of insurance,
and over three and one-half millions
of assets is a matter of congratula
tion to these policy holders. It is a
great forward step.
