BILL ARP’S LETTER
Bartow Man Advises That We
Review Each Day's Work.
A STRICT ACCOUNT SHOULD BE KEPT
Each Day Shortens Our Exl&tence and
None Should be Allowed to Pass
Without Some Good Deed
Done or Word Spoken.
There lias been no women rulers of
Russia since the death of Catherine II.
A good merchant will count his mon
ey and balance his cash at the close
of every day. It is a good plan for
everybody to review the day’s work
and count up the good-of it and the bad
of it. Give the Lord credit for all the
blessings enjoyed, not forgetting
health and food and the raiment, sun
shine and shower, good neighbors and
good schools and liberty of conscience.
These are capital stock and do not
vary much with the passing days.
But in every one’s dally life and in
our dally business there Is an ever
changing multitude of little things—
little pleasures and little pains and
these should be footed up and bal
anced. What good have I done, what
pleasure have I received and' given
to others today should he the ques
tion every night. For the poet saith:
"Count that day lost If the descending
sun
-Views from thy hand no worthy action
i done."

people lose almost etyery day. '. No

tlmt selfishness is the most universal
sin of mankind. How Is It possible for
n very rich man to covet more when
there are thousands near him who live
and languish in misery and want, I
cannot understand. It was a sweet
lady who wrote the “Emigrant’s La
ment,” and said:
“I'm very -onely now, Mary,
For the poor make no new friends.
But oh, they love the better far
The few our Father sends.
■ These millionaires deserve little
credit for their gifts to colleges and li
braries, while the poor are starving
In the great cities and are penned up
in garrets and hovels and earning a
scanty living by working for the ruch.
1 was ruminating about this when I
read that Mr. Holderby, that consecra
ted minister ,n Atlanta, was getting up
an ice fund for the poor. What a
blessing that will be to the tired toilers
who can only afford tho tepid water
that comes from the city hydrants.
How refreshing to the sick who lan
guish on hard beds and have no cpm-
forts that the rich enjoy. The poor
wc have always with ns and most of
them will suffer rather than beg.
Mr. Holderby is always doing good
and can balance his hooks every night
and lie down" to pleasant dreams. Ed
ucation Is a good thing and we are
gratified at the recent movements of
northern philanthropists, hut n move
ment to lift up the poor and give them
a chance would be a more blessed
thing than to educate them in books.
Peter Cooper and George Peabody
have a higher seat in heaven than
Rockefeller and Carnegie will ever
reach. George Peabody built whole
blocks of tenement houses in London
for the poor. Tho rooms were all ven
tilated and supplied with pure cold
water and the windows looked out up
on grassy lawns and flowers and shade
trees. There were bath rooms attach
ed to every tenement, and a few pretty
chromos on the walls and the rent
charged was only a pittance—enough
to make repairs and pay the taxes.
This was doing more for the poor
than, education could do.
A clean shirt and a comfortable
home will lift a boy up quicker than
books. It baa been said that a right
hdngry man can’t get religion, and I
reckon a hungry, child can’t study to
do much good. Education Is not al-
WAY? had In the schools. It Is the life
work of every one. Education comes
by contact, by absorption from others,
by reading and thinking, and by expe
rience and observation. Some of the
greatest men in the United States nev
er had a year’s schooling; and my own
observation has been that not more
than ten college boys in a hundred
make good UEe of their education. They
lived and died and made no sign. But
for the sake of the ten we must give
the ninety a chance. The northern
gentlemen who met in Athens seem
intensely in earnest and their speeches
were in good tone and In good temper.
Judge Bleckley’s speech was the short
est and best of all. “We will receive
it. not as a charity, but as a measure
of justice,” and Mr. Baldwin said,
“Yes, sir, that’s It, justice,” and I sup
pose implied that they owed us a debt
and were going to pay it. That came
pretty near being an apology. Well,
just let them shell out the money, and
we will dispense with the apology.
This morning I had a backset. The
old mare got into my garden and
tramped around, and wallowed in
three places—ou my strawberry bed
and on my squash bed and my onion
bed. Digging wouldn’t pacify me.
It didn’t let my choler down. I will
set that down at one hundred on the
debit side. But my daughter, who
went to Charleston and had a two
weeks’ vacation from the care of her
children, returned safe and happy and
refreshed. I set tl-at down at one
hundred to balance off the old mare’s
trespass on my garden. Another mar
ried daughter, who has been sick for
a month, has recovered hnd she cqn
now take up her bed and walk. She
came up to spend the day and brought
her children. Put that down at two
hundred. A dear :ister who lives at
College Park Is coming to see us to
morrow. Thaf news Is worth a credit
of fifty. The- m:rti has brought goon,
cheerful letters from two of the far
away boys. That is worth fifty. A
ood neighbor sent me some fine to-
ato plants; that is ^vo^th twenty-
five; and it is worth twenty-five to Took
at my strawberry garden, and I look
several times^ day. A visiting friend
said It was fioMh twenty-five a day
to se'q thezlQfig fttns go by with their
double 'engimp. 7 can sit on my ve
randa and count the cars, from forty
to sixty on every train, and net strain
my mind. Every" evening after school
is out a dozen or more children gather
!n my lawn Under the big oak trees
and play tennis and hide and seek, and
romp and swing, and it is worth twen
ty-five to sc-e them so happy.
There are three roses in bloom this
morning, the first of the spring, and
that is worth ten. Then again, I read
rather Kelley’s memorial speech in Sa
vannah, and It comforted me to flryl
one man bold enough to tell the two
^lighest officials in the nation what
they had done, and what he thought
of them. I will put that speech and
the pleasure of reading it af one-hun
dred. From the window where I write
l can see the workmen raising the
beautiful Corinthians caps to the tops
of the tall majestic marble columns of
the- new -court house. The building
grows in beauty every day and 1 am
proud of it even though it will cost
me a little moro tax money. I put
down the dally eight of it at ten.
Then there are my strawberry vines
loaded with ripening fruit. I will put
them down again. • One of our boys
wrote me chat he was coming home to
see us, but I must promise not to take
him to see the strawberries more than
seven times a day.
Now, see how the account stands
with all these credits end only one
discount for the old marc. Verily the
lines have fallen to us in pleasant
places.
