The Pilgrim and the Puritan.
This is the story of William the weary
pilgrim and Jereboam the Puritan, as it
is told in the Detroit Free Press.
"Prithee,” quoted William, "the guer
don of a hand-out, or cold bite?”
"Nay, nay, friend,” quoth Jereboam
"For this is the Sabbath day 1”
"Do unto others as ye would they do
unto you!” quoth William. "Verily, a
good rule, friend I”
"Verily, friendquoth Jereboam,
"And being good it works not upon the
Sabbath!”
Now, tins oonlrt William not gainsay,
for it chanced that he, soo, was brought
up in the strictest sect of the Pharisees,
Concerning the Monument.
Albany, Ga., August 23, 1901.
Editor Herald :
I have so many questions asked me a
to the Confenderate monument that
will say to all: The figure is here, but
the ladies of Memorial Association are
away from home. I can’t say when
they will return. Soon, I hope. Hope
they will order an unveiling early in
next month. The carnival is a jolly
time, but we want the monument long
before then, as the unveiling will be
somewhat of a solemn occasion.

ROASTING EARS.
INDICTING LYNCHERS
In Alabama—Ten Bills Found, and luvcntlia.
(Ion Still Continues.
Montgomery, Ala., Aog. 24.—Nows
has boon reoeived in this city that tho
grand jury at a Bpnoial term of the oir-
onit court of Elmore county, oonvened
by Judge Denson to investigate the re
cent lynohing of a negro in that oonnty
charged with assanlt to murder, has
found indictments agniust ten of thirty
members constituting the mob and is
still investigating the oase.
Several who refused to testify when
oalled as witnesses were placed in jail
for contempt of court.
These are the first indiotmeuts against
lynchers in this Btate in many years.
Governor Jelks declines to disonss the
notion of the sheriff of St. Glair oonnty
in firing on a mob that was trying to
lynch a negro assailant until he gets
additional information, bnt says he is
glad that the mob was thwarted in its
purpose.
WORK OF FOOTPADS.
Prominent Citizen of Lincoln, Neb., Killed
Near His Home.
Lincoln, Neb. August. 23.—John ,T.
Gilliland,one of the most promiuent bus
moss men here and a former member of
the legislature, was murdered here last
night, presumably by footpads. His
body was found within three blocks of
his home and in a well lighted street.
He was shot in tho breast. There were
evidences of a struggle.
The Indians Taught the Early Colonists How
to Cook Them.
The Indians taught the hungry colon
ists how to make use of roasting ears,
says the Riohmoud Dispatch. They
took tho ear in its green shook, covered
it w’lth hot ashes aud coals and promptly
produced the best dish of corn possible
to make. They had no Balt wherewith
to savor the corn,. but they had a sub
stitute in hickory ashes. The colonists
improved npon that treatment of the
ear by the use of salt, pepper and butter.
And so it came about that the nice,
tender ears selected for table use came
to be called "roas’n ears,” though as
time w’eut on they were ofteuer boiled
than roasted. The roasting process had
pretty well gone oat of fashion when
the "rebels” and "Yanks” both found
it convenient to revive it.
Our soldiers were nearly always upon
the verge of starvation after the first
year of the war, and over and over
again they were compelled to supply
themselves with food from the growing
corn; sometimes they ate it raw ; nothing
coaid please them better than to have
time to roast it. There was much sim
plicity in this cookery. No cooking
utensil waB required; all that was
needed was a campfire—and tho ear of
green corn.
The old stager oannot be made to be
lieve that any cooking iB so good as that
which used to be done by the campfire,
or in the spacious open fireplaces, when
a whole log was thrown on at one time.
Certainly they were mighty fine for
barbeoning meats 01 fowls, for roasting
oorn and potatoes, and for baking ash
cakes. Alas I modern bills of fare—
menus”—do not include such dishes as
these. More’s the pity; more’s the
dyspepsia.

His Address at Jackson Yesterday Was Loudly
Applauded by Hearers.
Jackson, Ga., August 38.—Hon. Du
pont Guorry, of Macon, In a spnooh do-
ltvorod in the oonrt house hero today,
created great enthnsiasm among IdR 800
hearers, most of whom wore farmers.
Mr. Guorry paid his respects to Messrs.
Terrell, Estill, Brown and Turner, and
discussed the prohibition question nt
length.
He declared that a lobby infests tho
eapitol in Atlanta, anil on thnt point
BpokeuR follows, in substance :
That onr politics aro corrupt, there is
no doubt. Buying and soiling of votes,
especially at local option elections, is
not only notorious, but has become al
most pnblio. Popular government can
not ho pure when tho elective franchise
is corrupt. The removal of the liqnor
traffic would be a long stride towardB
tho purification of the ballot.
That we have chrouio lobbyiBm in
connection with our legislature, there is
no doubt. Tho destruction of tlte hquor
traffic would be the destrnetion of the
liqnor lobby, which is largely tho nu
cleus of lobbyism in general. If the
general assembly of the state of Georgia
oannot of right destroy tho liqnor
trafflo in cities by direot not, for the ben
efit of the people of the state, oert&lnly
this law making power has a right, as a
matter of eelf-defense, to strike this traf
fic away for self-pnrifloation and self-
protection. With the whisky lobby will
go, the railroad lobby and the other lob
bies, except as they may temporarily
appear, and the representatives of the
people would be onoe more, compara
tively free at least, to oarry oat the
will of tho people. There would no
longer exist the great naolens that now
exists, about whioh the politicians of the
state hare formed a powerful ring, that
seleots in advance of election a controll
ing majority, or an invinoible minority
of onr legislators.
