“Weil, good fay, Aunt Maria; lin
off- Good by, Billy.”
A nice-looking, web-grown boy bad
been aiming toward the barn door,
sad, is doing so, Lad heard a little of
the conrernation between Billy and
bis mother.
“You really are going to take the
next train V said mother.
“Y’ea, I aught a* well a* break into
another day,”
“I must get you a lunch, dear."
*aad mother, hurrying towards the
bouse. Hugh, BLly'g cousin, lingered
a moment to admire the s moots sees
of the croaa gun stock.
“But F?e got to quit work on it, -
said Billy. “Mother want* me to fuse
with her sweet pee*.
“You're a lucky fellow,” sald
Hugh.
“Not half so lucky as you are,
said Billy, looking with admiring
enry at his cousin Hugh waa a high
school boy is the city some distance
away, for which reason, asd for hie
good clothing and his superior age,
he was held in great respect by Billy.
“If I was a chap that had as good
clathes as you, and could lire in a
city, and go to high school, and play
foot ball, I’d think myaelf the luckiest
fellow in the world.”
“You wouldn't if you had to do
without what's far better than every
thing else in the world put together,”
said Hugh, soberly ; “something you
have and I haven't—and never can
have again.'’
“What’s tnat?" asked Billy.
“You have your mother."
“Oh !” There was a little pause.
“Time was," went on Hugh, “wheD
I didn't think it made much difference
whether I pleased mother or not. 1
thought it a bother sometimes, when
■he wanted me to do things for her.
Now I shall never, in all my life, hear
her voice asking anything of me—no
matter how I long, long for it Good
by ; Fll come again in the summer
vacation.*’
Billy followed Hugh out of the barn
to watch while he, with graceful
thanks, took the offered lunch,
his small valise, and struck out in the
direction of the station.
“He’s a dear boy,” said mother,
sha-ling her eyes as she also looked
after him. Then she crossed the bit
of grass in the front yard to take a
bok at the sweet peas just showing
the ground, and Billy could see
her smoothing the earth about them,
and pulling up a stray weed. He saw
the smile which came upon her pa
tient face as she bent lovingly over
the tender shoots.
Some how his high-echool cousin’s
words seemed to have opened Billy’s
eyes, for he noticed things which he
had never before thought of noticing.
There were few pretty things, sure
enough, and how mother did love
pretty things. She was fond of flow
ers, but could have so few because of
fences being carelessly kept, and
gates liable to be left open. The lit
tle gate leading into the front yard
was always out of repair, and Billy
had more than once seen tears in her
eyes when Carlo had gotten in and
amused himsely by scrapiDg up her
freshly planted seeds.
“Yes, I’m always sorry to have him
go; he’s so kind and thoughtful”
Mother said it as she went into the
bouse, and the Bound of her gentle

He went around by the back of the

Without obserration- And on goirg
to bed that evening spent at least a
half hour of wakefulneas in thinking
aver his great plan.
“I'll make it awful pretty. And I

chuckled himself to sleep at the
thought
For two or three days be worked
at Lis fiawer frame every spare Lour,
often stopping to give a jump and a
whoop at seeing bow the delicate
things shapwd tnemaelve* under his
land*, almost of themselves it
- kerned sometime*, as if knowing of
the love which belonged with the
offering, and glad of Laving a share
m its sweetness. Short bars at the
bottom, loen a bit of dainty lattice,
hen more cross pieces, and, with t
dual triumphant inspiration, som*
wire twined defiiy between, for th*
ioettor holding of the delicate tendrils.
Billy sat and gazed with delight tu
the last nail went carefully in. Then
came anew and bolder idea.
“It ought to be painted. *’
In the twilight he carried it down
to the unfinished house, and going
again early in the morning, mad# an
other exchange of work, this time fer
paint.
“White, or green * asked the
painter. “Folks mostly has green
for garden things, lately.”
Bat Billy feid white. His mother
liked white thing*, and white seemed
somehow more like her. White it
was, dainty and delicate, as it finally
-.tcod in the back porch of the new
house to dry.
Ia going out the next morning,
Billy's eyes shone at perceiving that
mother, evidently discouraged in
waiting the support for her rapidly
growiog treasures, had stuck in a few
laths.
“Poor mother—she's give up on
me,” he said, with a smile.
“I wish some of them was out,”
said his sister Hetty, following him,
and standing near the peas.
“Why?” asked Billy.
“'Cause it’s mother’s birthday, and
I wanted to put some of ’em on the
dinner-table—just to show her I re
membered it, you know. There’s a
few other flowers, but she does love
sweet peas so.”
“Whoop!” cried Billy, with a jump
over the laths, Hetty giving a little
scream for fear the sweet pea vines
would be ruined.
Two hours later Hetty began the
carrying out of a deeply laid scheme
of Billy’s by calling out:
“Mother, Billy's took away All the
laths you had your sweet peas on
Pulled the vines off 'em P
“Dear me!” said mother, in a trou
bled voice. “How could he! What
could he have wanted ’em for ?”
“Come out and see,” went on
Hetty.
Mother came. Billy was standing
at one side of the yard, near enough
to see the flush of surprise and de
light taking the place of the troubled
100k —near enough to mark the smile
and the glow through a little mist of
tears, as before her arose the graceful
mingling of shining white and dainti
est green.
They took but a little time—her
steps over the grass plat and those
which brought Billy to her side. But
plenty long enough for a crowd of
resolutions to surge up in the boy's
heart that often and often, in many
ways, would he taste the sweetness
of bringing joy to his mother’s face.
He put hss arms close about her.
“Happy birihday, mother. Many,
many happy birthdays.”

Hon. W. T. Atkin*on the Third
Party Platform.
Below we publish extracts from
Hon. W. Y. Atkinson's frpeecL deliv
ered at Fayette rille on J uly 12th. We
regret that we are not able to famish
oar readers with the fuil text of the
speech, for it ia well worth the atten
tion of every voter. We command
■what he aye to the thonghtfol c.c
iideration of the people of this county
Colonel Atkinson began by epeai
ing of the bad effect* of division
among the people of the South, all of
whom should work together, and pro
ceeded to tear the mask from Third
partvkm, dissecting the party’s plat
form and principles, and showing that,
instead of being a party of the people,
it more clearly represent* the idea of
centralization of government than has
any other party since the days of
Hamilton. Elaborating the idea of
centralization as compared with the
rule of the people, Colonel Atkinson
went cm to say :
“The Third party people tell you
they are standing by the principles of
Jefferson. They have gone so far as
to claim that they are Jeffersonian
Democrats. Why, if old Thomas Jef
ferson were to hear that he would
turn over in his grave. Now, isn’t it
true that Hamilton represented the
centralization idea, while Jefferson
represented the other idea? Those
were the great defining lines. Where
does the Third party stand ? Do their
ideas and theii principles and their
teachings lead to the centralization of
power at Washington, or do they leave
that power with the States?
“Under the old order of things the
States had the power of creating
banks of issue. The Third party is
against that. It advocates a policy
which leaves our people and their in
terests entirely at the mercy of the
National government Under the
Third party idea, the State has no
right in times of financial stringency,
to step in and relieve your people by
creating banks which have the power
to issue currency. I believe the States
should have all the powers under the
constitution which they have not spe
cifically delegated to the National gov
ernment "With the right to create
banks of issue the State has the power
to relieve the people in times of finan
cial stringency, such aS we had last
summer, and the effects of which we
are still feeling. "We have sense
enough to enact laws which will pro
tect our currency and make it just as
good as any other currency, and when
the States has that power it will be
impossible for the money interests of
the country to absorb the currency
and place the people and their inter
ests absolutely at their mercy Now,
the Third party is against these State
banks and has proclaimed its position
at every opportunity. Their position
on this question shows clearly the
trend of their party doctrine. It is
away from Jeffersonianism and toward
centralization.
“Then take the railroad pl&Lk of
their platform. Estimate entirely the
question of purchase of the railroads,
how much they will cost, and wLere
we are going to get the money to buy
them wish, and study the situation as
the Third party would like to see it.
Why, their government ownership of
the railroads would give to the Na
tional government the greatest power
you can conceive. Just think of it
I?, is a pawer never dreamed of by
Hamilton himself. It is the very
quintessence of centralization. First,
it would give to the government the
appointment of a perfect army of office
-hoLdei-, most of whom would owe
their petitions, net to their ability,
bit to their political friends. Then
there is another serious phase of this
matter to consider. The Southern
peoole are more or lees a sectional
people. Give to the government all
this pjwer which the Tnird party peo
ple would give to it, and wouldn't a
sectional party on the other side take
every opportunity to discriminate
against ce ? To make rates that would
cripple oar industries in order that
they might farther their own? Pat
a lot of partisans in power who would
have nt interests common with ours
and they would ia every way possible
operate against us. That ia the log
ical result—or si me of the logical re
sults—of the position of the Third
party on this question of tie railroads.
Why, my friends of the Third party,
you cannot have seriously considered
these matters, or you would not, I am
sure, stand to any party which advo
cates such principles for a minute.
“Now, those Third party fellows
are trying to draw off some of you
Democrats by Eaying that you ought
not to support the Democratic party
because it hasn’t dace anything.
Why, that’s all moonshine. Tom
Watson and the rest of those fellows
were urging you to leave the party
just as Lard a year ago, when Con
grass hadn’t even met They’re just
against the Democratic party, that’s
all. And when they say that they are
not going to support the Democratic
party because the party, through its
representatives at Washington, had
not done anything they are simply
trying to fool you. They were just
as strong against the Democratic
party before it hsd any opportunity
at all to act as they are now.”
Colonel Atkinson reviewed at leng h
whnt the Democratic party has
since it assumed control of the gov
ernment.
“Wnen the party went into power,”
he aail, “it found the government
resting under the impetus of thirty
years of Federal legislation. It weLt
in at an unfortunate time, for the
shadow of financial depression,
brought on by the same influences,
hung over it.” He went on to show
that the odious Federal election law
had been repealed; that the tariff bill,
which takes a long step in the right
direction toward which we finally aim,
had passed both homes; that the
Democratic Congress had shown that
it was not in the hands of the mon-y
power by pacing the income tax;
that the revision of the pension laws
already accomplished would in four
years save $100,000,000 to the tax
pay et e.
“Now, I’m frank to say that Con
gress has not done all that I had
hoped, or all that you were anxious
that it should do,” continued Colonel
$4.95.

Atkinson, ‘‘but they Lave accom
plished much. Congress has beer in
session lees than a year. It w:L', I
know, do much more on the line of
the promises which the party Lbs
made to the people. It is not fair uj
jadge the work of Congress by what
we would have liked to Lave seen
dme. but compare its work with tLit
of other Congresses that have gone
before. No Congress has done more
in the same time—none has done as
much. Why. if the G.egress which
you Third party people want to elect,
were made up of the same kind of
fellows as those Western fellows you
have up there now this Congress has
already done more than your Third
party Congresa would do in a million
yeard If the people find that their
representatives in Congress, or some
of them, have not voted in the way
that they had a right to expect, the
people will strike them down and
Bend others. No matter what politi
cal party you aie in, you've got to
trust men. That is something which
all of you will, when you think cf it,
acknowledge. Njw, the question
which piesenta itself to you men who
-have strayed away from the Demo
cratic party and gone to the Tnird
party is jut this: Why leave correct
principles and go to rotten principles!
The thing to do is not to desert good
principles because men may go
wrong—strike down the men. If you
are a member of the church and your
preacher goe* wrong, you do not fire
your Bible into the fire aDd curse
your religioD, but you discharge your
preacher and get another. It is ex
actly the same thing in this matter
of parties, and the men who are
chosen to represent the principles of
those parties. There is not one of
you men who call yourselves Third j
party men who will stand by and en
dorse the principles of your party.
Tne fact of the matter is you don’t
believe in your party—you just be
lieve in Tom Watson.
Taking up the inconsistencies of the
Third party and their leaders, he
said:
‘'Take this silver question. The
Third party leaders tell you to desert
the Democratic party because you
didn't get free silver, and yet they
laughed at it before. It has not been
so very long since they were goirg
over the State hooting at the idea of
free silver and claiming that it only
meant about 30 cents per capita any
how ; now they say desert the Demo
cratic party because the party Las
not given you free silver. Dj they
mean t<o say that you’ll get it by
sticking to the Third? 'Why, as I re
member it, there were eighty-four
free silver Democrats up there from
the Siuth and only nine Populists.
Isn’t it good arithmetic to say that
you have eighty four chances to get
free silver by staying in the Demo
cratic ranks to nine chances by going
with the Populists ? The thing to do
is clear and distinct Stand by those
who are in favor of making silver pri
mary money and restoring it to its
rightful place as money. Send back
those men who have been faithful to
their trust and call on the people of
the other parts of the United States
to Bend to Congress men who will
stand with them.
• L vi at the record of y- ur Popu
i:=: memoirs of Congress! Yon people
favor the repeal of the ten per cect.
tat on State bonks. The Third party
follows voted iigaiort that. Ou the
tariff they were divided, even on the
proposition of free wool, voted to
raise toe price of your blankets and
the clothes ron're got to buy. They
either are divided on evtry question
or they have voted directly agtdmt
the interests of the people. Oo that
same tariff bill every one of the Popu
list members of the House voted with
Reed against taking up the bill
"And what is their re card on other
things! Wnen the seat of Rockwell,
the only free silver man from the
Eist, was contested every last one of
the Tnird party people voted against
him. That doesn’t show very much
friendship for silver, does it! It is
true they voted in favor of the propo
sition of free coinage of silver at a
ratio of 16 to 1. Bat when we Demo
crate —who had no interests in silver
mines and who were willing if we
could not get free coinage at ore ratio
to get it at another—ond-avorad to
secure free coinage at the other ratios,
what did they do! A: the ratio of 17
to 1 they sat quiet and wouldn't
help, aoi at the other ratios they did
exactly the same thing."
A voice from the Tnird party cor
ner, “Didn't some Democrats do the
same !”
“Tea, and Tm in favor of defeating
all who did. That’s why I am in favor
of defeating you Third party people."
Colonel Atkinson then took up the
Congressional Record and told of some
of the bills which the Populist mem
bers of Congress had introduced.
There was one by Mr. Hudson, the
effect of which would be to increase
the amount of pensions by over
$1,500,000; one by Mr. Davis, requir
ing the government to assume all
mortgage debts at a very low rate of
interest, the effect of which, Colonel
Atkinson explained, would be to ena
ble the fellows around the cities to
absorb about twelve billion of dollars
of the government's money and re
lend it out at exorbitant rates to the
people; another one by Mr. Davis
providing for additional pen-ion
which would cost, it waa estinutM,
$4.60,000,000; another to provide for
the enlistment of 500,000 men to be
enlisted as a regular army on works
of public improvement, “which riai
ply means,” said Colonel Atkinson,
“that those Coxeyites and a half mil
lion others like them would be given
soft snaps and that the people would
be taxed to maintain them.'*
“Why," he said “if you Third
party people knew the manner of men
they are and the meaning of all that
they endorsed, there isn't a urn
among you who would stand it two
minutes and a half.”
Continuing, he pictured what would
be the ultimate results of the Third
party doctrine and teaching and
methods, and said: “Why, if you
good people here in the South re
alized all that it meant—not for you
alone, but for your countrv and your
children and your children’s children
—if you realized what those doctrines,
carried to their ultimate results and

Gal and Atkinson then turned Lis
attention to the State ticket nominated
by the Thirl party. He toll of how
loud these same Third party p>ecp!e
had been in den ureing Mr. CltTe
ian i for taking Greehau* into his Cab
inet, and yet they had taken as a can
didate for Governor a man who had
not yet had time to get the seat al
lotted to him in their party councils
warm.
“Why did they take him ! he asked.
‘Til tell you why. They have & lot
of men in their party whom they con
sider good men and whom they like
and they didn't want to have ary one
of them hurt. It was like the farmer
who had one little no account boy
named J isoa. When they wanted to
test a strange “yarb and were tLr&.u
it might hurt, they would always try
it first on Jason, because it wouldn’t
hurl much if it killed him.’’
Colonel Atkinson then reviewed the
figures of tne last campaign to show
the T ird party people how hopeless*
was their cause.
He showed how, while they Lad
poued 68,9CKJ votes iu the ejection for
Governor, they had fallen off to 42,
939 in the November election The
Democrats had carried the State bv
over 1 1,000 in the race for Governor,
and in November, immediately fol
lowing, had carried the State by a
majority of 83,447. “Tee, and we
will make it a hundred thousand thia
time—see if we don't,” he added, and
the Democrats cheered and laughed
at the discomfiture of the Populists.
Then he took up the Tote in Geor
gia by Congressional districts and
ahowe i tha; in the first district Colo
nel Lester got 12,447 votes to 3,800
for Mr. Kemp; in the second Mr
Rosaell had 11,517, Mr. Hand 6,060:

574. Mr. Wimberly, 4,982; in the

in the S;Xih Mr. Cabaniss had 11,628
