Is it “the Atlanta spirit” that causes

AP IL THE THIETIETH
Robert R. Livingston declared on
April 30, 1803 that with the pur
chase of Louisiana th • United
States to >k th ir place atnoi g the
powers of tho first rank. “The
treaty with France,” he said, “was
n»t brought ab ut by fiaeaae, nor
dictated by force ” It was equally
advantageous to both oontn oting
pirtiHH. The result of the purchase
was far reaching.
Charles M Harvey in the World’s
Work declares that the effect was
to prevent forever tho erection of a
hostile power on the wist bank of
the Mississippi and to mike inevit
able the annexation of Texas and
California and the expansion of a
nation into continent .1 proportions.
Thomas J< ffi-rson’s idea was to get
New Orleans in order to control the
mouth of the Mississippi river.
Monroe got the town and all the
territory west of the Mississippi.
“Ixjoking for a city, Jefferson had
an empire thrust upon him.” Amer
ica was willing to help France fight
England and France was anxious
to help America keep England out
of the Louisiana territory.
The writer in the World’s Work
declared that April 30 is a great
event, not only in the history of
America, but of civilization and
humanity. The wilderness which
Jefferson's enemies ridiculed him
for buying comprises five States.
One of t hese provinces, Missouri,
alone has more people than then
made up the original thirteen
States. These States produce 264,-
000,000 bushels of wheat, more than
one-half of the wheat crop of the
United Spates. They raise over
1,000,000,000 bushels of corn, one
half of the country’s product.
When John Law organized his
French land company, based upon
the province of Louisiana, the
world thought him a fool, but the
world sees today that he was a
prophet who realized that there
was an empire belonging to France
in the new world. Had Napoleon
succeeded in conquering Europe he
might have come over with this
lodgment in Louisiana and tried his
hands in subjugating the American
commonwealth.

TIRED OF SLOPPING OVER.
There was a meeting of manufac
turers in New Orleans last week.
According to the Manufacturer’s
Record, of Baltimore, the feature of
a smoker was the speech of Mr. W.
8. Parkerson. It was so strong and
self-reliant and so far out of the or
dinary that the Record takes occa
sion to commend it heartily.
The speaker informed the meet
ng that New Orleans was glad to
have the convention, but declared
the day was over when the South
desired either she sympathy or pat
ronage of the North. Southern peo
ple d’d not need any one to keep
time for them as they march on.
“We will be glad to have any North
ern people come down and oast their
lot with us, aud if they bring capi
tal needing investment Southern
people would help them put i t where
it will pay handsomely, but the
South has passed the stage where it
needed petting and sympathy.”
Mr Parkerson informed the dele
gates that “there was a time when
the patriotism and wealth of the na
tion was centered in the South, and
that time is corning again. Our
proluotive fields are throbbing c nd
bearing fruit under the hand of in
dustry, and thOHtiioka is rising from
myriads and myriads of factory
chimneys. We have the fuel and
the raw material and the ideal site
for distributing manufactured pro
ducts, and we are going to make
the most of them.”
A staff correspondent of the Bal
timore Manufacturer’s Record,
writing to that paper, declares in
his letter about the New Orleans
meeting : “It. is getting to be a very
musty chestnut for the South to be
told 'there is no more South, no
more North, etc. Everybody down
South knows that, know it at. least
as long ago as the Spanish war, and
ttie unsophisticated exuberance
which springs such trite and every
where conceded truths may well
•take care—some day you go too
far, ’ even among these ever amia
ble and courteous peoples.”

YELLOWSTONE PARK’S BIG GAME IN WHICH PRESIDENT
ROOSEVELT IS MUCH INTERESTED.

These are tho words of Hon. W. P. In

interest in furthering the movement for
the proposed great Presbyterian Uni
vereity in Atlanta, for which purpose
more than $250,000 has already been
subscribed. That’s what we told them
all the time—but it will probably not
worry a good many of those subscribers.

Deafness Cannot be Cured
By local applicationa, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the tar.
There Is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed condi
tion of the mucous lining of the Eusta
chian Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed,
Beafness is the result, and unless the in
flammation can be taken out and this
tube restored Its to normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed cond.-

A Sure Thing.
It is said that, nothing is sure ex

altogether true. Dr. King’s New

Thousands can testify to that. Mrs.
C. B. VanMetre, of Shepherdtown,
W. Va , says : “I had a severe case
of bronchitis and for a year tried
everything I heard of, but got no
relief. One bottle of Dr. King’s New

Preacher Refused to Officiate Because
Bridegroom Was Divorced.
Hartford, Conn., May 2.—With the
bridal party approaching the chancel
and the church filled with fashionable
people, the Rev. Dr. James J. Goodwin,
of Christ Episcopal church, refused
to perform the ceremony and dis
missed the guests because in reading
the marriage license he found the
bridegroom had been divorced ten
years previously. The wedding was
to have been that of A. Lincoln Chase,
manager of one of the largest depart
ment stores here, and Miss Gladys A.
G. Geer, daughter of one of the oldest
residents of Hartford and prominent
socially.
Mr. Chase and Miss Geer had start
ed up the center aisle, when, suddenly
at the rector’s call, the party stopped
within a few feet of the chancel rail.
After a hurried consultation, Mr.
Chase and Miss Geer, each embar
rassed, turned and hurried out of the
church. Advancing to the altar, Dr.
Goodwin said:
“Friends, the wedding has been post
poned.”
Later, Dr. Goodwin said:
“The laws of the Episcopal church
ferbid me to marry a divorced
person. I did not know the circum
stances until I read- the license while
I was in the church ready to perform
the ceremony. I am very, very sor
ry to have caused the party any em
barrassment, but I could not act other
wise.”
When reference was made to the
wedding of Mr. Vanderbilt and Mrs.
Rutherford in London recently, Dr.
Goodwin said he could not discuss that
but that he knew he was right in re
fusing to marry a divorced person.
Miss Geer and, Mr. Chase, after leav.
ing the church were driven to the
home of the Rev. H. H. Kelsey and
were married.
