BILL ARP’S LETTER
Philosopher of Bartow Writes In
terestingly Anent Mythology.
MORAL LESSONS FROM ANCIENT TALES
Delves Into Old Traditions of Past
Ages and Draws Some Interest
ing Conclusions Therefrom.
In all age® mankind has felt the need
of a God. There is a feeling of help
lessness in our nature and if man can't
find a God he will make one. It is cu
rious how strangely similar are all the
heathen mythologies to the Bible relig
ion. St. John says: “And there was
war in heaven and Michael and his an
gels fought against the dragon and his
angels and hurled them down. That
old dragon, which is the devil, was
cast down unto the earth.” Just so
ln Grecian and Roman and Scandina
vian mythology; there was war in
their heaven and the good deities pre
vailed and the evil were cast out, but
not destroyed. Jupiter had war with
the Titans and dethroned them. Oden,
or Woden, as he was called, had war
with Loki and dethroned him and gave
him Hela, or Hell, for his kingdom.
The Scandinavians had a serpent to
figure in the dawn of their creation,
and that serpent was ever gnawing at
the roots of ine tree of life—a tree
that grew by a spring and was kept in
perpetual bloom by the water of the
spring. This spring was at one end
of the rainbow and the home of Wo
den and the gods was at the other end.
and as often as the rainbow appeared
Woden and his retinue made use of it
as a beautiful bridge over which they
passed to the spring to drink and re
new their youth and hold their high
court and sit in judgment upon offend
ers. Just so our religion tells us of
the tree of life and the water of life
and the leaves of the tree which are
for the healing »f the nations.
This Scandinavian mythology was t
beautiful and fascinating religion and
the Norsemen, including the Danes and
Swedes, believed in it as piously as
we believe in our Bible and Christian
ity. Indeed, it took centuries to over
throw it and plant Christianity there.
For centuries it held sway over all
Germany and even to this day all
Christendom uses the names of the
days of the week that came down from
the Norsemen, for Wednesday was Wo
densday and Thursaay was Thorsday.
Thor was Woden's son and was the
god of the clouds. When he wished
to make it thunder and shake the rain
out of the heavens he took two great
mountains, one in each hand, and clap
ped them together. Friday was Fryga
day. Fryga was Woden’s wife. Just
so we got the names of the months
from Roman mythology and we got th<
constellations in the heavens from
the Egyptian mythology and it remains
unchanged to this day. But I wish the
young people to know and remember
that in all mythologies their religion
was founded upon a faith that truth
and justice and virtue must prevail
over evil. The good were rewarded
and the evil were punisued, not only in
this world, but in the world to come.
The difference is that our religion is
founded upon love and mercy rather
than justice and we have but one God
instead of a hundred.
Now it seems that Jupiter and his
brothers, Pluto and Neptune, after
they had whipped the Titans, proceed
ed at once to divide their great do
main. Jupiter was the eldest and
smartest and so he gave the seas to
Neptune and hades to Pluto and kept
heaven for himself. Smart, wasn’t he?
Hades was not hell at that time. The
spirits of the dead, both good and bad,
mingled together in hades until Pluto
concluded to separate the unrepentant
anil incurable ones for fear they would
usurp his kingdom, and so he estab
lished a hell and called it Tartarus and
shut up all the hardest cases therein.
Now Pluto married a daughter of
Ceres and she had a son named Plutus
He was the god of wealth and that is
where the word plutocracy came from.
Our millionaires belong to it. So it
seems that the god of money is broth
er in law to the god of hell. Pretty
close kin and dangerous, but it is ac
cord lug to scripture, for it says that
“the love of money is the root of all
evil,” and "it is easier for a camel tc
go through the eye of a neeme than for
a rich man to go to heaven.” Now this
Plutus began to give his riches to the
good only, but Jupiter didn’t like that
and struck him blind so that he
couldent tell one man from another,
and so he gropes his way about slowly
tWl he finds a man. Then he gives him
a pile of money and suddenly opens
his wings and flies away.
That, too. is symbolic of what scrip
ture says. Riches take wings and fly
The love of money seems to hava
been accursed in ah ages. The wedge
of gold not only cursed Achan, but af
flicted all Israel. Miltoa says that
iuammon was one of heaven's gods—
“one of the spirits that fell. His looks
aud thoughts were always downward
bent, while he admirea the golden
pavements in heaven’s streets and
never looked up to aught divine. Then
let no one wonder that riches grow
in hell. It is the soil that best de
serves the precious bane.”
No wonder, then, that Mr. Carnegie
became alarmed and hurried to dis
gorge. What a world ot care he is now
going through in distributing his
wealth. He receives thousands of
pleading letters, I know, for many
have been sent to me to be forwarded
to him—many piteous appeals for a lit
tie charity. Of course, 1 forward them
and that Is the last of it. They are
perhaps read by proxy and then de
stroyed. Dr. Samuel Johnston wrote
truly when he said, “Riches fortify a
man against but one ot the ills of life,
and that is poverty.” Cresus had no
monument. I know of one that was
erected to a very rich bad man—an old
bachelor—and his executor, a man of
unflinching Integrity, had chiseled in
the marble these words: "He began
the world a poor boy and died a etti
zen of large estate. This is his best
eulogy.'
He might as well have never lived
and doubtless would be better off now.
How many of the rich deserve a simi
lar eulogy on their tombstones. Old
Agur’s prayer was a safe one—“Give
me neither poverty nor riches.” These
great accumulations impoverish same
body. They generally come from the
sweat and toil of the poor. Carnegie,
The New York Herald says, was worth
not less than $500,000,000, and nc
doubt is the richest man living or that
ever lived. According to human law's
and human morals, his wealth was
honestly earned, more honestly than
that of most millionaires, but in the
sight of heaven he wronged his fellow
men. No good, Christian man can ever
become a millionaire except by inher
itance. He can’t earn it, and comply
with the which “Do
justly, love mercy and obey the Lord
thy God.”
But the poets and preaeners and
philosophers have from time immemo
rial written and spoken enough on this
subject to encourage the liberal and
alarm the greedy, and yet most all of
our rich men are struggling for more.
The Peabodys and Peter Coopers are
rare exceptions in philanthropy.
Yesterday I received from a friend i
late copy of The New York Sun, in
which a whole page was devoted to a
review of “Maclay’s History of the
United States Navy,” which has just
been published in three vommes by
the Appletons. I read with deep inter
est all about the destruction of the
Maine and the fight at Santiago, when
suddenly I came to a merciless, scath
ing criticism of Commodore Schley,
which made me hot and fatigued my
indignation. I had thought that whole
controversy was settled and partially
harmonized, but this will cause it tc
break out afresh, for The Sun lavishly
indorses all that Maclay writes. He
tells what Admiral Philip told him
about Schley’s disgraceful conduct
(Philip is deau now), and that he act
ually turned tail and ran away from
the fight, and that his contribution tc
naval strategy throughout the campaign
was “Avoid as as
possible, and if he makes for you,
run! ” Hobson is not mentioned in this
review. Who is this Mac-lay, anyhow?
But today I am comforted, for I have
been eagerly perusing Dr. Curry’s last
and best book. "The Civil History of
the Confederate States,” published by
B. F. Johnson – Co.. Richmond. It is
a small book; a calm, considerate re
view of the past and full of his per
sonal reminiscences—his contact and
communion with our noble men—Da
vis, Toombs, Stephens. Ben Hill. How
ell Cobb, I>ongstreet, Judah Benjamin
and others. It is almost an autobio
graphy. It does not seem to be a
schoolbook, but I wish that every
young man in the land would read it
It would take but a few hours and es
tablish him in the faith—the true faith
our Dr. Curry
is now almost alone. Ail his contem
poraries who figured in the scenes he
has narrated are dead. All but one—
Judge Cabell still lives. How fortun
ate we are that the good doctor lived
to write this book, for what he writes
is respected at home and abroad. He
has long moved in an atmosphere fai
above envy or malice or distraction.
Long may he yet live.—Bill Arp. in At

Brief Bnt Interesting Summary
of Happenings in the State.
-|- 0 ni re Expert Detective,
Th e people of DeKalb county want
t jj e murderer of little Berta Jackson
brought to justice, and a fund has
been started to defray the expenses of
a search for the criminal. This step
was taken by the coroner's jury that
met a day or two ago in Decatur, after
a wa|t of near i y three weeks, in the
hope that some evidence might be oh
tained ln that tim e. When it was seen
at this last meeting that there would
have to be an investigation made by a
person skilled in the procuring of evi
dence, the members of the jury started’
a subscription. While there was some
effort to* conceal the fact, it is known
that detectives will be placed at work
on the case and that they will be in
structed to follow every clue to the
very last.
Resolutions By Cotton Growers.
The second annual meeting of the
Georgia Cotton Growers’ association
held in Macon the past week was at
tended by growers from various parts
of the state, and it was a representa
tive body of men. The personnel of
the convention was as fine as the pur
pose of the meeting, and the fanners
went home feeling that they had been
greatly benefited by what they had
heard.
The nominating committee recom
mended the fallowing officers for the
coming year, and they were elected:
William A. Broughton, president,
Madison*; Dudley M. Hughes, vice pres
ident, Danville; jotin Bostwick, secre
tary and treasurer, Morgan county.
The following resolutions were
passed:
“Resolved, That it is the sense of
this convention that the largest possi
ble membership in the quickest possi-
ble time is the essence of our success
in this movement.
“Resolved, That the Cotton Growers’
Protective Association of Georgia
should immediately and energetically
proceed to organize a branch of this
association in every county and militia
distret in this state, and that one or
more able and efficient organizers
should quickly be placed in each con
gressional district, to the end that our
membership may be speedily built up,
of all citizens who are interested in
growing cotton, especially farmers and
land owners.
“Resolved, That the president and
executive committee proceed immedi
ately to put in force the foregoing reso
lutions.”
The following preamble and resolu
tions were also adopted:
“Whereas, the director of the twelfth
United States census has announced
his willingness to make annually a
complete canvass of the cotton ginned
in the United States through the
agency and co-operation of the gin
ners, and
“Whereas, We believe that such an
annual canvass will result in more ac
curate and satisfactory statistics of
the actual cotton crop than have here
tofore been obtained, and thereby elim
inate detrimental influences; therefore
be it
“Resolved, That this convention of
the state of Georgia heartily indorse
the plan of Director Merriam for per
fecting and modernizing the statistics
of the cotton crop; that this conven
tion urge the cotton ginners through
out the cotton belt, whose interests
are identical with tnose of the grower,
to co-operate with the census office in
its efforts to collect true annual statis
tics of the cotton crop, by making
early and accurate replies to their re
quests for information, to the end
that the true interests of the producers
may be properly promoted and pro
tected.”
Sheriff Merrill Commended.
The meeting of the Georgia sheriffs,
clerks of court, police chiefs, marshals
and solicitor generals at Columbus the
past week was interesting from begin
ning to end. The body adjourned to
meet the second Wednesday in July
next in Atlanta.
Perhaps the most interesting thing
done by the convention was the unani
mous adoption ot the following resolu
tion. offered by Solicitor S. P. Gilbert,
of the Chattahoochee circuit:
“Resolved, That this association
heartily commends the brave devotion
to duty shown recently by Sheriff Mer
rill. of Carroll county, in risking his
life to protect a prisoner ia the county
jail from an infurated mob. We eon
gratulatc the people of his county that
they had the wisdom to select such a
man to office, and we feel honored to
have such a man as a Georgia sheriff.”
Father Takes His Son’s Place.
A few days ago Governor Candler re
ceived the resignation of Judge Frank
P. Loogley, cf the Troup county court,
and appointed Judge Frank M. Long
ley, his father, to succeed him.
The resignation of Judge Longiey, it
is said, was due to ill health. It was
not generally known that he would va
cate the office. Pus resignation reached
the executive office in due time and be
fore applicants could submit their
names for consideration as appointees
to the judgeship Governor Candler had
named the successor by placing the
father in the seat of his son.
