7 'IITION OF STATE TREASURY. / that while there is ■ > money 111 the state » is very 1 i is general expenses — the expenses of the , for instance. It j all belongs to special > sinking fund and ds. But we don’t see tov. Smith is to blame condition of affairs. He spend any of the money sn’t appropriated, and, as we are informed, his ad- j ration wasn’t- guilty of any uilar extravagance. It mav at the Legislature during his iof ollice wasn’t careful in ling appropriations as it might /e been —that is, all the money appropriated may not have jen in sight —but there is no barge that it was guilty of ex travagance. The trouble seems to be that j Mr. Smith undertook to make it appear that he turned over to his successor a treasury that was in a particularly good condition, and that when Gov. Brown got the figures he found that/ he hadn t enough money at his command to pay current expenses, to say noth ing about the expanses of the Legislature. It doesn’t appear that he got the figures for the purposes of discrediting the state ment of his predecessor, hut to get the Legislature to pass a reso lution releasing some of tile state’s money that is t ied up. Therefore there doesn’t seem t.o be any need for efforts on the part of anybody to make it ap pear that Mr. Smith left the treasury in a bad condition or that he left it in a particularly fine condition —much hotter than it was when ha took ollice. It is all a matter as to how you look at it. There is no doubt that there is a big sum of near beer money /.bat can lie made available by a involution of the Legislature,' twnu’e that $200,000, hut it may go against thf grain of the average prohibition member to have to j take his per diei* from a fund jraised bv a tax on near bee/ 1 . '/’here is no doubt that this pie-ai .W,c fund comes in handy at this t-jififi. Without it the Gov ernor would have to borrow mon ey not only to pay tkfi school /.euchors, hut also the expenses u( j (Oh* Legislature. It there werej v .. 0 such fax the treasury would] ii«£e«4 be in £ bad way.

The regular Wesleyan Camp Meeting held annually at Ash burn, Ga.,will be run this year as an United Free and Wesleyan Methodist Camp Meeting on July 22 to August 1. There will lie min isters present from both adminis trations, and as both stand for the same doctrines the preaching will be as usual on the line of “the old paths.” A thorough re pentance, that need not he repent ed of, a definite conversion, a walking in the light and a subse quent. sanctitication that makes growing m grace easy and natur al will be emphasized and set forth as the purchase of Christ s blood for all mankind. 11 you need any of the blessings, or want t.o help others in obtaining them, COME ! There being so much loose and erroneous holiness teaching abroad in the laud these latter days, it is proposed to conduct a Bible Ins titute each morning of the ten davs at the Camp Meeting, at | which Scriptural Holiness andoth er neglected Inble themes will lie expounded and taught, therefore it is urged that every Wesleyan and Free Methodist Evangelist pastor and licentiate in the states of Georgia and Florida lay all other business aside and make sure to be present. Herein, by the help of God, fail not. For these preachers and other invited workers, free hoard will be pro vided. It is required, however, that each bring along t.lieir own bedding—-just put some cover, a I pillow and on empty bed tick in your trunk or valise and bring it along as baggage; there will lie plenty of straw on hand to fill the tick. To the public generally and all who are not entitled to free hoard, there will lie a hoard ing house open on the grounds where board and lodgings can be obtained at sixty cents per day.

THE ELGi:C MARBLES. 1 1 History of tha Greek ArC.Tr««*ures In the S.itish Museum. I Thomas Bruce was descended 1 from Ring Robert Bruce of Scot land and was only a chibl when he , ] succeeded to the title*of Lord Elgin. His preparatory btuJ.es were made •] at Harrow and at tLe Westminster . school, and he thsui went to the Scotch university of St. Andrews. ! From here he went to Baris to study ; I international law and then prooeed • j cd to Germany to learn military sci j once. This long and careful education . ] to lit him for his high duties was then considered as completed, and 1 : Lord Elgin entered the army and - rose to the rank of general. But , his studies had developed a ts te for diplomacy, and he left the army and went to Brussels as envoy, ilu n to Berlin and finally, in 1799, to Con i stuntinople as envoy extraordinary I at the porte. At this court Lord Elgin remained for three years. During this period the idea suggest '' ed itself to him of getting .posses -1 sion of some of the treasures of I Greek art at Athens to transport j them to England. At an expense of more than $250,000 lie \ias able to get many of (he most beautiful and valuable 1 of the original marbles of the Par thenon, the work of the great sculp . tor Phidias and his pupils. The English nation bought this remarkable collection, paying the Earl of Elgin only SIBO,OOO, so he practically contributed $70,000 to the British museum, where these 1 marbles were placed in a special apartmeftt known as the Elgin room. There was a great deal of bitter feeling when these were taken away from Athens, and the earl was called ' a “vandal” and almost a robber. Many English people deplored their removal, and Lord Byron was par ticularly sarcastic in the matter. At the time these were taken j from Athens the splendid ruins were j being sadly neglected. Their re j movql created a desire in modern i Athens to preserve her monuments, ] and since that time the Greek ar- I cluieologieal society has made ev ery effort to guard and protect the precious remains of the glorious period of their country’s history. While there is a distinct loss in not seeing the Greek marbles in their original pqsitions, it is cer tainly a privilege for fho English ppoplp and visiters from nil parts of the world to study them in the Brit ish museum and to have the v&lua | hie plaster ousts of them which we! ! have in our art museums. The horses of the frieze in the El j gin collection are marvels of light i riess and lifelike form. The veins i on their faces and legs seem to be | actually distended with the blood in circulation. They seen) to fliOY* and to roll their eyes, So long as there is a love for or-: tistie work and a reverence for j genius the Elgin marbles will be counted the chief treasures of the j British museum.—Boston Globe. Not by th» Acr«. A farmer living in a wet and late district in the east of Scotland found times and seasons so against him that he decided not to renew jug lease. Meeting his landlord the other day, lie rani j “1 can mak’ nothin o’ sic wat and sour land, and I’m no’ goin’ 05 wi’t, or I’ll lie ruined.” “Well, John, take time to think o’t ” said the landlord; “no doubt we'll be able to come to terms. 1 might let yog have tlm farm at a re-j duetion on the acre. 11 “Ah, laird,” replied the farmer, “your land should he let by the gal-! lon, no’ by the acre!”—London !
