today, no matter what the politi¬

are the real war taxes. At this
time they are unnecessary taxes
and they ought to be repealed.
This is the feeling of the people.
The tariff bill introduced by Mr.
Mills appears to be intended to add
to the surplus instead of reducing
it. The duty on sugar amounts to
a revenue duty, but this is re¬
duced, and the revenue from
that source will be
increased. How does this help
the surplus? So with other reduc¬
tions. With few exceptions, these
reductions will add to the customs
revenue and thus increase the sur¬
plus. Was this what the ways
and means committee intended to
do?
We had supposed that their in-
Mentions were to reduce the surplus,
but how can an increase of revenue
reduce the surplus?
The fact of the busines is, that
the ways and means committee are
running a schedule that is not by
any means democratic. It would
be democratic to repeal the inter¬
nal revenue system and make up
whatever deficit that might occur
by a reduction of the tariff. Such
course Would not only be democrat¬
ic, but it would admirably fit
the purposes of the democratic
party in the campaign that it is
about to make.—Atlanta Cdnstitu-

Mukphv, N. C, March 3, ’88—
Editor Herald;
I see that you have made inqui¬
ry as to who is going to run against
A. V. P. Jones for representative
of Pickens county. I can inform
you that he will have an opponent
if I have to make the race myself.
And the present road working sys¬
tem of Pickens county will be made
one of the issues. As the system
now is one class works the roads
and another class uses themr—the
poor man’s work and the rich
man's road, and the good people
of Fickehs county will want to
know if friend Jones is in favor of
public roads being worked by tax¬
ation or not. The present system
of working the public roads of
Pickens county is an outrage upon
the poor laboring man, and it is a
question that ought to be agitated.
1 believe the majority of the vot¬
ers of Pickens county are in favor
of working the roads by taxation,
and I believe nil such issues ought
to he discussed publicly by all the
candidates so that the people may
know how they stand.

fcbAb Bis COMMENTS,
(From Atlanta Constitution:]
A hind lady has sent me ft booh of JJO
pages called “Millennial Dawn,” published
by the Tower Publishing Cot, in Pittsburg,
Pa., which will, t believe, awaken the think¬
ing world. 1 see that its sale it impossible already over
twenty-live thousand. It is W
read this book without loving the writer and
pondering his wonderful solution of the great
mysteries that have troubled us all our lives.
There is hardly a family to be found that hai
not lost sortie loved one who died outside the
chuteh—oUtsida the plau of salvation and If
Calvinism be true outside of all hope and iff-
side of eternal torment And despair. We
smother our feelings ahd turh away from the
horrible picture. \V« dare hot deny the faith
of our fathers, and yet Cfth it be possible that
the good mother and her wandering child aril
forever separated—forever and foreVet ?
I believe it. Is the rigidity of these teachings
that makes atheists and Ihtidels and skeptics--" theif
makes Christians unhappy ahd brings
gray hairs down in sorrow 10 the grave-*-#
lost child, a lost soul 1
Let us see how many lost souls. The gedg'
raphers give the world a present population 0)
fourteen hundred million, of whom only oil#
hundred and sixteen million are Christians,** -
that is, who like in Christian countries; Of
these, only siateeh million are adult member*
of the church; and of these, about one million
walk not after the flesh but after the spirit.
That Is a beautiful picture.—Only one millidrt
of truly good, pious Christian people in all tliS
world, and thirteen hundred ahd itlnety-hln*
millions who are elected to be eternally
damned. Add to these figures ehe hundred
and for,y two billions, Who have already lived
and died in the ages past, and if all these aM
damned, it doe# look like God’s plan of salvd- -
tion was d jhiiserable laiiufe. He gets ofle soil!
tor glory while Satwn captures thousands.
This wonderful book teaches that trial is yej
lu com® —that all are to rise from the dead
when Christ comes, that He will offer His sab
vation to all people l not only to the living,
but to those Who rise from the dead; Hi4
kingdom will be supported by the saints and
by good people tevciy where, ahd the mother
will have another chance to reclaim her Wart 1
iefirtg child atld bring hltri uflto the kingdom-
This wonderful book makes ltd assertions thiri
are rtot well sustained by the Scriptures. 1*
is built up stone by stotte, ahd Upon eiitf fff
none is the text, and it becomes a pyramid
God’s love, and mercy, and wisdom. Thef8
it nothing in the Bible that the author denief
or doubts, but there are many texts that h“
throws a flood of light upon that Seetn5 to tit!'
cover its dark ahd gloomy meaning. I seS
that editors df leading journals, and many
orthodox ministers of differeht denominations,
have indorsed it and have confessed to thil
new and comforting light that has dawned
upott the interpretation of God’s book. Tb*fl
let every man read and ponder and hope. take cbdri TttiP

thinking is done than kver before,—irteh dir#
