" There is no mark* t on earth j

the popularity of an honc.-t country

Atlanta leads the world. A I<>-
yeur-ohl boy has attempted to kid
nape Acy ; ’ Candler, the coca-cola
millionaire.
Thirty eouritii s have gone dry in
the state of Michigan, ninety-six in
K< ntucky and all saloons close on
Sunday in Springfield, 111. Thus
it will he seen that prohibition con
tinues to make its forward march.
The Ellterton Star says “the
latest machine attachment is a sock
darner, which will make the old
bachelors just that much more in
dependent.” If the inventor de
pends upon the old bachelors for
support, he will go broke. We base
this statement on a conversation
we had with Editor Bacon of The
Madisonian.
“(tipsy” is dead. Someone with
a heart of stone fed glass to the
playful, affectionate pup, and our
little six-year-old boy buried her in
the garden and placed flowers bathed
with the tenderest tears of love upon
her grave. Will there he such
heartaches when the perpetrator of
this deed makes the leap into the
dark beyond? We doubt it.
The secretary of a lodge in which
there was a Dutchman was charged
with being short in his accounts.
The secretary was making a repot t
explaining affairs when the l*m< h
timu excitedly exclaimed: “Dot
vms all'righdt, but. you cend me
dot moneys riglutt bore.” Hoke
Smith says be has saved (lie st ite
$4,000,000, but Clark Howell would
like him to “count me dot
moneys.

A CARD FROM DR. ADAMS.
Since time immemorial, 1 sup
pose, there have* been many people
of many mind*. People invariably
place a cliff* rent construction upon
the meaning of remarks made pub
licly when such a moaning perhaps
as some attribute 1 was never farther
from the speaker's mind. Such has
happened to me. In the few re
marks that 1 made at the Lyric
Theatre last Tuesday 1 made use of
some expressions that caused some
whom 1 thought was better ac
quainted with me to think that 1
\ laced tin* standard secret orders
Wove the church of God. Such a
.bought never entered my mind.
i <lid not mean to place the secret
>1 (lois al>ovc the chinch, and if the
meaning of my remarks was so con
strued it was a misconstruction, all
arguments to the contrary notwith
standing. Respectfully,
R. P. Adams, M. I).
QW fOGY WAYS.
The Dublin Courier-Dispatch has
had two editorials recently which |
struck us with a great deal of force.
One was a reply to the statement’
that rag-timd music was dead, ma le j
by .John Philip Sousa, the great
march king. The editor of I'he
Dispatch took the musician t*o task j
and declared that a rendition of
“The Georgia Camp Meeting ' at j
the (1 rand opera house in Atlanta j
would receive a more hearty resp.m-e
than would the classical singing of
| (laru-o. We agree with The Dis-!
patch, for the theater is'the rightful -
! home of rag-time music, which car
ries with it the sprinkling of sand,
the shuffling of feet and the naughty
little song with the naughty little
] wink: And classical music is all
right in its place-
The second editorial is on an
entirely different subject, but we
| cannot refrain from linking thetwo.
The Dispatch says:
“It is all right foi a church to ad
vertise, but it must have the goods
to deliver. When a man goes to
church he has got to receive some
thing for his time. If he does not
got this lie is not going track very
often.
“There arc not a great many peo
ple who go to church from a sense
of duty. The great hulk of a con
gregation must he entertained or in
structcd. If they are not, then they
will not attend.
“One great trouble with the
churches is that the members are
more concerned with the building
up of their particular church than
the making of a Christian. They
would rather that the sinner join
no churcti at all than one of a dif
ferent faith and order from the
one they are members of.
“Creed is stressed too much. You
cannot pay too much attention to
creed and build up the Christian
faith as a whole.
“The evangelical churches are in
a measure working together,and yet
some of them are mighty wide
apart. Pntil they get closer to
| gether hut little headway, compar
atively, will he made against the
I devil.
: ft, “Let the-churches advertise, hut
they mu h deliver the goods, idler;
j must be no taking-
Had our brother gone a little
further lie would have dt teCt- and an
other hidranee to the making of
i Christians —the absence of those
old-time songs which stir men's
souls.
We have seen consecrated men
preach conviction to the hearts of
i large congregations —you could al
most hear a pin drop in the house —
| mars would he trickling down the
cheeks of hardened sinners, when a
few voices in a selected choir would
raise a good old hymn such as
“Com* 1 Thy Fount of Ever} bless
ing,” to the tune of “Johnny, Get
Your Gun, Your Sword and Your
Pistol,” accompanied by sounding
brass and tinkling cymbals. The
old sinner who had gone the gaits
would dry his eyes and sit up and
tike notice to see if a little soubrette
in red dress was going to jump out
from behind the pipe organ.
We don’t mean to say that one
should mope through life in tears.
But we do say there is a time and
place for all things. Crow-hop
music may he pleasing to the ear,
hut if you want to reach our soul
give us tlu 1 old time songs sung in
the old-time wav. Give us the old-
time religion. tarry us hack to
our childhood, when we were rocked j
to sleep l>v the bump, hump of a j
straght-hack chair to the tune of
“How Happy Is a Child of Grace.”
As for tears, we have heard it
said people should have more con
trol over themseves than to cry in
public. Well, we have not got that
control, and we thank (od for it. '
You touch our heart-strings and we i
will blubber over every time, and
you don't have to go very for to
find them, either. May they never
shrivel up.
But the greatest trouble of today,
Brother Stanley, is the love of p’mp
and show —religion of the head and i
not of the heart.
