There is another side to this
dark picture, thank God. In the
middle of our great sorrow, we
realize that ^ir loss is his gain,
that while blooming on earth,
our flower was subject to cruel
chilling blasts that might blight
or stain its purity, but now it is
sheltered in the arms of Jesus,
shut in from winds and storms or
harm of any kind—“Saved be
yond the shadow of a doubt.”
While his stay on earth was
short, God in His infinite wis
dom saw that his mission was
complete, ond that by lifting him
above, our heartB and affections
would be drawn after him. Where
the treasure is the heart will be
so henceforth let us seek to have
less of earth and more of Heaven
less of self and more of Christ
and to lay up for ourselves treas
liras in Heaven, where moth and
rust do not corrupt, and where
thieves do not break through ancl
steal. Da Ma.
Race Question a Local Issue.
Savannah News,
That the negro question is a
local question is one phase of it I
that has not been considered in '
the discussion thqt has been go
ing on sinoe the negroes were
freed. This question presents
different aspects in different
states and even in different sec
tions of the same state. In Geor
gia, for instance, in the moun
tain districts there are soaroely
any negroes, and, therefore, there
is no negro question. Strange to
say, in the mountain counties
where the papulation is almost
purely white the Republican par
ty is almost as strong as the
Democratic party. Occasionally
it is stronger.
Iu Middle Georgia, from an
eaat-aud-west line through Oco
nee county on the north and Pu
laski county on the south, the
great ootton-raisiiig section of the
state, the negro is so badly need
ed that any one who tries to en
tice him away is roughly treated.
An instance of this is afforded in
the “Peg-leg” Williams case.
The plauters want the negro.
Without him their lands would
suffer in value, for there would
not be labor enough to work them
In South Georgia negroes are a
more shiftless lot than they are
in Middle Georgia. In the south
era section they work awhile and
idle awhile. The easier life is
for them the better they like it,
and the standard of ease to which
most of them bow is idleness. In
the southern section they are not
wanted as badly as iu the middle
section, because of their charac
teristics and because of tin ha
ture of the work that is demand
ed of them. This can be done
far more quickly and much better
by white mep, who, as’ a rule,
make better citizens.
The life of negroes at the South
is an easy one. Loving ease as
they love it and recognizing in
ease idleness, emigration from
the South will' never amount to
much until white immigration to
this section has rendered it more
difficult for negroes to lead the
life that the majority of them
now lead. Then, and' not until
then, will negroes begin to think
of other fields for their inactivi
ty. As it is now, the negroes have
solved the question of living on
the least possible amount of work
The Southern states and the
Southern people' suit the negroes.
If they were not suited they
would, soon leave the South, as
they now leave places where they
are not well treated.
How the Command Was Moved.
After it had been settled that
the command was to be moved
from one post to another, an in
quisitive citizen asked an officer
how it was planned to do it, Bays
the Brooklyu Eagle.
“The orders from headquarters
are for the men to march,” was
the reply.
“Pretty long march under the
ciroumstances, isn't it?” was ask-
ed. V.Viv
“O, yes; but I gueBsl they can
stand it.”
‘The cavalry has a little the
bast of it, then?” * '
“Well, hardly. The cavalry
marches, too,”
“But the horsesr—"
“0, the orders are to ship the
horses and marbli the men.”
“The horses ride and the niep
walk.”
“Certainly, That’s the usual
way.”
“But why should—” ,
“A new horse would cost the
government money,” interrupted
nhe officer.
A Story About ’Stoddard.
A story of R. H. Stoddard* re
cently published, has been told
before, but is good enough to re
peat, says the Boston Post. It
concerns a midnight luncheon
which the poet was getting for a
friend, after Mrs. Stoddard and
the servants were in bed. The
luncheon was to be graded by sar
dines, and Mr. Stoddard tried to
open the tin can with a jack
knife, Presently Mrs. Stoddard

A Chicago man has observed
that, “Good deeds are better than
real estate deeds—aome of the
latter are worthless. Aot kindly,
and gently, show sympathy and
lend a helping hand. You can
not possibly lose by it.” Most
men appreciate a kind word and
encouragement more than sub
stantial help. There are persons-
in this community who might
truthfully say: “My good friend,
cheer up. A few doses of Chaim-'
berlain’s Cough Remedy will rid
you of your cold, .and there is no
danger whatever fr6m pneumonia
