Those Two Boys
Chauncey and Will
IJUST saw a nice write up and
Chauncey Depew’s picture in all
the papers where he told,of his first
watch which was an Elgin. Said he
kept it for years and somebody stole
it on a New York Central train.
(That’s what he gets for riding on
his own Railroad.) What does he
need a watch foranyway, time means
nothingto him. He wasinThe Follies
the other day, and I introduced him
and made him make a speech, he
said, “I have been entertaining au
diences for 91 years and have never
found it necessary to use a Lariat yet”.
The old rascal hung one on me.
Now the moral of his story as I
could gather it is don’t have an Elgin
Watch, somebody will steal it. So my
story is carry ‘Bull’ Durham, they
may borrow it, but nobody will
steal it.
Now after looking at this I don’t
know whether it is an ad for Elgin
Watches, Chauncey Depew, The
Follies or ‘Bull’ Durham.
Well, they are all good.
P. S. I’m goingto write some more pieces
that will appear in this paper. K»ep look

Another Hartwell Case
Time-tested by a Hartwell Resident.
Just another report of sickness and
suffering relieved by Doan’s Pills.
Another Hartwell case that tells of
lasting benefit. What can be more
convincing? Thousands recommend
Doan’s for backache, rheumatic pains,
headaches, dizziness and distressing
urinary disorders. Doan’s are a
stimulant diuretic to the kidneys.
They have helped thousands and
should help you. A Hartwell case:
R. L. Ayers, Justice of Peace, Ath
ens St., says: “ have used Doan’s
Pills frequently and beneficial re
sults have always followed. They
have a strengthening effect on the
kidneys and to all who seek a reliable
kidney remedy, I can advise the use
of Doan’s.”
Mr. Ayers gave the above state
ment June 7, 1917, and on March
12, 1923, he said: “Since Doan’s
Pills cured me, I haven’t had the
least sign of kidney trouble.”
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Pills—the same that Mr.
Ayers had. Foster-Milburn Co.,

INTERESTING ARTICLE ON FAMOUS
SOUTHERN GENERAL ROBT. E. LEE
Near the close of his great book,
“Robert E. Lee: Man and Soldier,”
Thomas Nelson Page says: “And
i now, having endeavored to picture
I Lee during those glorious campaigns
' which must, to the future student
of military skill, place him among
. the first captains of history, I shall
1 not invite attention further to Lee
the soldier—to Lee the strategist—
to Lee the victorious, but to a great
er Lee—to Lee the defeated. As
glorious as were these campaigns,
it is on the last act of the drama,
the retreat from Petersburg, the
surrender at Appomattox, and the
dark period that followed that sur
render—that we must look to see
him at his best.”
Fame and adversity are the two
severest tests of character, and Gen
eral Lee was subjected to both at
the same time. When the war clos
ed—just sixty years ago this year—
the cause for which he fought had
failed, and yet, so exalted was his
character and so great was his mili
tary genius, that his fame had spread
far and wide. Professor Worsley
of Oxford, voiced the sentiment of a
great multitude at home and abroad
when he referred to General Lee as
“the most stainless of living com
manders, and, except in fortune, the
greatest.”
Many in Lee’s position would have
yielded to the temptation to show
bitterness toward the victor, or to
be puffed up with pride because of
the fame he had won. But how was
it with him? “Hardly anything in
the man’s character is grander,” says
a Northern writer, “than the way
in which he instantly adapted him
self to new circumstances and began
to work as a loyal and devoted citi
zen, even when the United States
still refused him the rights and
privileges of citizenship. The im
portance of his influence in this re
gard, over his friends and family,
over his old soldiers, over every
Southern man and woman, cannot
"be exaggerated.”
After the war, “he counselled that
all bitterness be put aside, advising
old soldiers and others to submit to
all authorities and become law-abid
ing citizens.” When a lady cherish
ed some bitterness toward the Gov
ernment, he said: “Madam, don’t
bring up your sons to detest the
United States Government. Recol
lect that we form one country now.
Abandon all these local animosities
and make - your sons Americans.”
Referring to these noble words,
Gamaliel Bradford, of Massachusetts,
author of “Lee the American,” says:
“Abandon all the local animosities
and make your sons Americans!
What finer sentence could be in
scribed on the pedestal of Lee’s sta
tue than that? Americans! All the
local animosities forgiven and for
gotten, can we not say that he, too,
though dying only five years after
the terrible struggle, died a loyal,
a confident, a hopeful American, and
one of the very greatest?”
Lieutenant McKim, author of the
“Soul of Lee,” says: “The story of
Lee’s life after the war is an epic
in itself. Those five years are radi
ant with a serene light undimmed by
one word or act which his devoted
people would wish to blot from the
record. As a commander, though
the greatest of his time, he had made
mistakes, which none would be more
ready to acknowledge than himself;
but as the uncrowned king of a de
feated people—as the exmplar and
mentor to whom the people of the
South looked for guidance and in
spiration under the cruel conditions
of the Reconstruction period, he com
mitted no error that any keen-eyed
critic has yet been able to dis
cover.”
No wonder the editor of the New
York Herald said, announcing Lee’s
death: “Displaying neither bitter
ness nor regret over the irrevocable
past, he conquered us in misfortune
by the grand manner in which he
sustained himself, even as he daz
zled us by his genius when the
tramp of his soldiers resounded
through the valleys of Virginia."
After the war Lee desired retire
ment and quiet, and avoided, as far
as possible, everything connecting
him with the war. “This does not j
mean that he had any occasion for
regret; simply that a chapter of ter
rible agony was closed forever, and
he wished his people as well as him- j
self to look forward and not back.”
As Mr. Page says: “Happily, as we
know, his serene soul, lifted too high
to be disturbed by any storms of
doubt, was untroubled by any ques
tion born of his failure. ‘I did noth
ing more,’ he said to General Hamp-1
ton, one of his gallant lieutenants, I
‘than my duty required of me. 11
could have taken no other course
without dishonor, and if it were all
to be done over again, I should act
in precisely the same manner’.”
In his farewell address to his sol
diers he said: “You will take with
you the satisfaction that proceeds
from the consciousness of duty
1 faithfully performed, and I earnestly
pray that a merciful God will ex
tend to you His blessing and pro
tection.”
Many tempting offers came to Gen
eral Lee after the war—some even
from abroad. An English nobleman
, offered him a country seat in Eng
land and an annuity of $15,000. His
, reply was “simple and worthy of his
' noble soul: ‘I must abide the for
j tunes and share the fate of my peo-
I pie’.” To another attractive offer
jhe made this sublime reply: “I am
grateful, but I have a self-imposed
' task which I must accomplish. I
have led the young men of the South
■in battle. I have seen many of
(them die on the field; I shall devote
' the remaining energies to training
young men to do their duty in life.”
And this he did, accepting the pres
idency of Washington College at a
< salary that, was a mere pittance. He
was tendered the presidency of an
insurance company at a salary of
C 50.000 a year. He declined, saying
he L.- ew nothing of the insurance
b .s. ess. “But, general,” said the
THE HARTWELL SUNJIARTWELL, GA., APRIL 24, 1925
l- • 1
GENERAL ROBERT E. LEE
gentleman who represented the in
surance company, “you will not be
I expected to do any work; what we
j wish is the use of your name.” “Do
| you not think, said Lee, “that if my
name is worth $50,000 a year, I
I ought to be very careful about tak
ing care of it?”
Relating this incident, Thomas
Nelson Page says: “Amid the com
mercialism of the present age, this
sounds as refreshing as the oath of
a Knight of the Round Table.”
He had settled down quietly in
Powhatan county, Virginia, when
“duty now appeared to him to send
her summons from a little mountain
town in which was a classical school
which Washington had endowed, and,
Lee, turning from all offers of wealth
and ease, obeyed her call.”
He gives us his motive in ac
cepting this position: “I accepted the
presidency of the college in the
hope that I might be of some ser
vice to the country, and the rising
generation, and not from any prefer
ence of my own. I should have se
lected, and should have preferred a
small farm where I could have earn
ed my daily bread.”
And what a wonderful college
president he made! “He threw him
self into the task of building up a
little college with as much zeal as
he had given to the creating of a
great nation. What counted with
all these young men was his person
al influence and he knew it. In
point of fact, he was creating, or
recreating a great nation still.”
Thomas Nelson Page gives us this
eloquent paragraph describing Lee
as he entered upon his duties as Col
lege President:
“On his old war horse he rode into
Lexington alone, one afternoon in
the early autumn, and, after a hush
of reverent silence at his first ap
pearance, was greeted on the streets
by his old soldiers with the far
famed rebel yell which he had heard
last as he rode down the lane from
Appomattox.
“Ah, ride on alone, old man, with
Duty at thy bridle-bit: behind thee
is the glory of thy military career;
before thee is the transcendent fame
of thy future. Thou shalt abide
there henceforth. There shall thy
ashes repose; but thou shalt make
of that little town a shrine to which
pilgrims shall turn with softened
eyes so long as men admire virtue
and the heart aspires to the ideal of
Duty.”

FOREIGN MISSIONS
HAS RAPID GROWTH
Ten Years of Dr. Love's Administra
tion Has Been Unusually Suc
cessful Period.
Suggestive of the growth that has
come to the foreign mission work
of the Southern Baptist Convention
in recent years, a survey of that work
just completed by Dr. E. P. All
dredge of the Baptist Sunday School
Board, shows that during the ten
years administration of the affairs of
the Foreign Mission Board by Dr.
J. F. Love, corresponding secretary,
the receipts have been $16,149,-
994.64 whereas the receipts for entire
78 years of the Board's history have
amounted to only $24,915,704.86.
Indicating the larger results in
every phase of foreign mission en
deavor which these increased receipts
have made possible, it is pointed out
that when Dr. Love became secre
tary ten years ago the Foreign Mis
sion Board was operating in seven
fields whereas now the number of
fields has been increased to 17. Oth
er advances of the decade include in
crease in the number of churches on
the foreign fields from 380 to 1,095,
mission stations other than churches
from 43 to 308, number of baptisms
per year from 5,252 to 12,856, mem
bership of foreign churches from
29,991 to 111,872, houses of wor
ship from 247 to 819, Sunday schools
from 542 to 1,511, Sunday school pu
pils from 22,022 to 76,504, annual
contributions by foreign churches
from 91,159.69 to $444,568, Amer
i ican missionaries on the field from
278 to 544, native Christian workers
I employed from 634 to 2,494, mission
I residences owned by the Board from
66 to 129, number of mission schools
from 339 to 860, number of pupils in
these schools—from which 50 per
cent of all converts won, come—
-9,376 to 35,106, American medical
missionaries employed from 12 to
19, and number of medieal treat-
I ments given per year from 74,829 to
I 294,422.
The Foreign Mission Board will
have before it at its June meeting
at least 100 applicants for appoint
ment to the foreign fields and is in
correspondence with 1,000 college
students who have dedicated their
lives to foreign mission service.
EVERY BAPTIST IS
ASKED FOR GIFT
Cash Offering by Every Member of
Every Churcb Sought On April 19
That every one of the 3,500,000 '
white Baptists of the South may have
an opportunity to make a cash con
tribution to the support of the world- 1
wide program of missions, education |
and benevolence fostered by the 1
Southern Baptist Convention, an ef
fort is being made to enlist all the
28,000 Baptist churches in taking
special offerings for the 1925 Pro- >
gram and causes embraced therein
Sunday, April 19. Some other Sun
day in that month may be substituted I
by those churches having no services I
on that day.
State, home and foreign missions, '
Christian education, ministerial re- |
lief, hospitals and orphanages are i
embraced in the general cooperative I
work known as the 1925 Program,
and the headquarters committee is
urging the churches everywhere to
supplement their regular contribu- |
tions to the general work by special
cash offerings at this time in order
that every one of these interests may
be more adequately provided for. A
minimum of $4,000,000 for these
causes from January 1 to April 30,
when the Southern Baptist Conven
tion year closes, is imperatively need
ed, it is pointed out, and the cooper
ating churches are being urged to
adopt as their goal for this spring
a distinct advance over what they
did for the same objects during the
first four months of 1924.
Many churches have not as yet put
on the 1925 Program and many oth
ers which did put it on did not enlist
all their members. It is in the hope
of enlisting every member of every
church in having a definite share in
supporting every phase of denomina
tional work that this special day for
extra offerings was suggested. While
the occasion was provided primarily
to reach those Baptists who did not
subscribe to the Program, if the reg
ular subscribers desire to make an
extra cash offering at this time it will
be received.

A Farmer Boy
who became famous was Dr. R. V. Pierce.
After graduation at college, Dr. Pierce

success in alleviating disease. He early
moved to Buffalo and put up in ready-to
use form, his Golden Medical Discovery,
the well-known tonic for the blood. This 1
strength-builder is made from a formula
which Dr. Pierce found most effective in
his large practice for those who were
anaemic, or pale and weak. It contains
no alcohol and is an extract of native roots
with the ingredients plainly stated on the
wrapper. Good red blood, vim, vigor
and vitality are sure to follow if you take
this Alterative Extract. Dr. Pierce’s
Golden Medical Discovery clears away
pimples and annoying eruptions, tends to
keep the complexion fresh and clear. This
Discovery corrects the disordered condi
tions in a sick stomach , aids digestion,
acts as a tonic and enriches the blood.
