PROF. CHAS. M. NEEL.
A Graceful Tribute Paid, by One
Who Knows Him
Dear Mr Editor: We, the citizen.--
and students of thin ei'y, cannot and
do not realize the greatness, the sin
cerity of purpose, and noble aspiration
that Prof Chas M. Neel has within
his bountions heart for each and cvtirv
citizen and pupil.
Perhaps some of n>y readers may
differ with me, but permit me, “my
dear unknown reader,’’ to say that it
is for the lack of association. If any
one has ever bad the good fortune,
pleasure (for it would be to any), and
honor of bis companionship, he will
have grasped t hat elevation of noble
aspirations which no man can ever
prove more worthy of than he.
What should b> the highest aim of
man’s life? Oh, my friends, would
that each of us could only inclose a
portion of that superla'ive degree of
life! He says that man was not born
into the world to do evil, and lower the
talent which was given him But he
urges his pupils to strive while in the
spring of life, to prepare their bodies
and minds for the summer suns, au
tumn winds, and the cold, bitter,chill
ing winters of old age. In one of bis
recent talks before the school, he spoke
of men and boys that seemed to drift
along through life as if they never ex
pected anything more or less.
He drew the awful picture of a man
who permitted himself to drift in the
paths of lowness. “The man or boy,
who has not the seriousness of pur
pose, should strive to accomplish some
greatness ’’
His example was one of his former
pupils, who had never acquired the
most important part of life ; just drift
ed, drifted and drifted, with each day,
as a chunk floats down stream —being
of no benefit to himself or any one
else.
Where was he found when the sum
mery sun of life appeared unto him?
This man, who once had a bright fu
ture in front of his career, but failing ■
to equip himself for the seasons of life, I
and his future days were dark and
dreary ones, until, at last, his body
was found a corpse in an alley in one
of the cities of this state.
He said lie loved that boy, “for I
love all my pupils.” and there has not
come a time but that he would, and
will, be ready to go to any place to aid
one oFlhefh, should it be necessary.
My friends, as he stood upon that ros
trum and vibrated the rounds of that
young man’s character, with tears in
his eyes, there came to me a deep and
pulsating feeling, that thrilled my
whole body with emotion.
Mr. Editor, though we may never
reach the zenith of true greatness, but
our mark in life should be placed
among the elevated places of living.
If we never reach that point, our aspi
rations, efforts and time, will not be
lost, for the higher the mountain, the
harder to climb. So it is with the
mountain of life ; if it should be high,
and we are striving to reach its sum
met, every day brings us higher and
higher toward the end of our journey.
But only hoping to climb a sufficient
number of cogs in the wheel, so at
last, when the angel of death appears
at our cottage door, to escort the soul
off into eternity, that it may be pre
pared to go, and it may be said “well
done thou good and faithful servant;
enter thou into the joy of the Lord.”
After scouring us around with the
turtles, he turned to those beautiful
and bright morning stars that illumi
nated old C. M N. 1,, with an aspira
tion to become worthy of their admira
tion.

Where Will the Profit Be?
Former Governor Stone, of Missouri,
was in New York the other night and
had himself interviewed on the politi
cal outlook. In the course of the in
terview he said :
“William J. Bryan will be the next
Democratic nominee for the presi
dency. As to the platform, Ido not
know what better we could do than
I re-affirm that of Chicago. Nothing
| can be gained by the change lithe
i silver plank is left out, away go the
Populists and the Silver Republicans,
who flocked to Bryan, «nd in their
stead would come the gold Democrats
of the east, whose number is inconsid
erable.”
Governor Stone is figuring upon the
strength of Populists and silver Repub
licans to the Democratic party ; is this
not exactly the mistake that was made
three years ago? Did the Populists or
silver Republicans come to the party
in sufficient numbers to make up for
those Democrats who left it? The
sound money Democrats hold tbe bal
ance of power in every pivoial state in
the uni n and they will have to be
reckoned with, if party success is ex
pected again. They are not as incon
siderable in number as Mr. Bryan’s
friends may think. They should re
member that two or three million men
voted the Democratic ticket three
years ago for the sake of party regu
larity and not because, deep down in
their hearts they bad any respect for
the platform or regard for the men
who were running upon it.
What will it profit the party to win
over some Populists and Republicans,
if in doing so, it must lose enough
regular Democrats to bring overwhelm
ing defeat to the party again?—Val

Another great discovery has been
made, and that too, by a lady in this
country. “Disease fastened its clutch
es upon her and for seven years she
withstood its severest tests, but her
vital organs were undermined and
death seemed imminent For three
months she coughed incessantly, and
could not sleep. She finally discovered

us a bottle of Dr. King's New Discov
ery for Consumption and was so much
relieved on taking the first dose, that
she slept all night; and with two bot
tles, has been absolutely cured Her

GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, MONDAY EVENING, MAY 15, 1899.
io Merely a Political Move
ly li is now s’ated that the pre.-iden
■ • has practicH iy decided to c.i. an < x'n

le October 20th Th* niw.-rr b.» beet
id carefully discussed in admii.istr itior
circles and the cabinet members ar 1
e ’ rived at the conclusion that the calling
id of an extra session would be a shrewc
)- political move and one that would helf
,e McKinley and the republican party
»t It does not appear that tbe interest!
Y» of the country were considered to any
great extent in reaching the conclu
o sion to have an extra session.
n Tbe subject was apparently decided
d purely from a political standpoint.
h The president and his immediate ad
tt visers decided it would be best for the
d republican party to have the* govern
8 meat’s policy in respect to the Philip
■** pines and the currency disposed of
y before tbe national <n*>v< ntioiis meet
a next year. 1 here ate other minor
reasons, no doubt, why the president
e wishes congress to conve: e in October
d instead o’ December, but the consider
n ations mentioned influenced the de
e cision in favor of tbe ex.r.i session,
o Should the meeting of-, congress ope-n
e in December, the pngdent fears the
session might be prolonged far into the
summer, leaving some of the questions
the administration is anxious to have
r out of the way still undecided when
j the conventions meet to nominate
candidates for the presidency.
e The plans of the administration are
i, all made, apparently, with a view to
? helping McKinley to another nomi
nation and election. Just how they
will succeed remains to be seen, but
the democrats will certainly make the
fight interesting.—Columbus En-

The Right Resolutions.
General Stephen D. Lee's resolution! l
( introduced at the reunion in Charles
ton, were, and very properly too,
t amended. His resolutions accepted
, tbe suggestions of tbe president that
. the federal government take charge of
. and care for tbe Confederate dead*
. While the sentiments of the president
, were fully appreciated by the Southern
, people, a general protest went up all
over the South against any other than
, the women of the South caring for our
dead. And this sentiment is clearly
expressed in the amended resolutions,
. as adopted at Charleston. Here they
are :
“The United Confederate Veterans
, in annual reunion assembled, desire to
. place on record their sincere apprecia
, tion of the utterance of the president
r of the United Seatea in Atlanta, in
( December last, concerning the aasump
tion of the care of graves of our Con*
! federate dead by the national govern
ment. We appreciate the very kind
1 sentiment expressed and we shall
, welcome any legislation which shall
result in the care of the graves of cur
comrades in the northern states bj’ our
government.
“In regard to our dead, whose re*
mains are resting in the states which
1 were represented in the Confederacy
s and Maryland, the care of their final
r resting places is a sacred trust, dear to
1 tbe hearts of southern women and we
3 believe we can safely let it remain
