A LETTER FROK THE PHILIPPINES.
Clmp LaLoma Church, Luzon,
P. L Jan. 11, 1900.
Mr. J. G. Vose, Lawrenceville,
Ga/ My Dear Friend: No doul't
you will be interested in hearing
something regarding the journey
ofxhe 42nd from San Francisc< to
thfe Philippines, and our experi
eipes since our arrival here
IvVe sailed from ’Frisco on No
vim her 80th, 1899, at 8p m. It
4is a Thanksgiving day long to
remembered. The regiment
yas formed at 10 a. m. and inarch
ed to the wharf, where the trans
ports were in waiting. We board
led them and were assigned to our
quarters. The march was six
miles long, and when we got to
the transports were all tired and
hungry, but still no dinner in
sight, nor did we get any until
after we were out of the bay and
at sea, and then very few of our
stomachs were iu condition to eat
anything, but a few days sufficed
to cure the feeling of seasickness,
and nearly all the men were in
condition to enjoy the ocean voy
age
We arrived at Honolulu, H, 1.,
Dec. Bth, at 9:80 p. m., and the
next morning started out on a
short march to the “Punch Bowl/'
from which an elegant view of the
city and island is obtained. 1
think the island would be a de
lightful place to live. We sailed
from there on at 4 p. m.
Nothing of interest occurred out
side the regular routine of drill,
etc., until Christmas day. The
ship was decked with flags from
stem to stern, and looked fine.
We had a good dinner, and in the
evening had a minstrel show,
composed of local talent from the
various companies aboard; con
sidering the disadvantages under
which we labored the show was a
grand success.
We, in imitation of the only
Dewey, sailed into Manila bay
under cover of the grey dawn of
early morning, up past the guns
of Cavite frowning down on us,
and anchored in the bay close to
the war ships that were made
famous by the Spamsh-American
war, the Oregon, Nashville, Balti
more, and Broo'klyn", which is at
preseut Admiral Watson’s flag
ship.
We passed New Year’s day
aboard ship, and early on the
morning of the 2nd landed in light
launches and marched to LaLoma
Church, a distance of six miles,
where we are at present camped.
Our company is the headquarter’s
guard, which are in LaLoma
Church; the balance of the regi
ment occupies what is known as
the “north defensive line,” ex
tending Irom Caloocou on the
north to the Manila water works
oA the south, a distance of eight
miles. Our company is having a
hard time at present; we have to
go on guard every other day, and
that, together with other camp
duty, keeps us very busy. Each
of the other companies throw out
two outposts about 2000 yards in
advance of the main body, and
that is about all they have to do.
The general opinion of the peo
ple here is that the war is about
over. It is impossible to get into
a stand up fight with the insur
gents. You may go out ou a scout
with a company and run against
a band of from 20 to 50 insurgents
and they will fire four or five
shots from the magazine, and
then run, and it takes a sprinter
to catch them. They live on noth
ing, and can hide in holes in the
ground like animals, and it is al
most impossible to catoh them.
This is a beautiful country and is

Why To We Iducate?
Craig, Ga., Fab. 17th, 1900.
We place an artificial restriction
upon our field of usefulness if we
limit our educational work to the
school room only.
The child is much iu education,
but not all. Methods are vaff
uable, but they do not include
everything. Iu fact, methods are
not worth much unless we have a
broad and clear conception of the
ends to be gained through educa
tional efforts. Education is uni
versal. It is a common property
and a common heritage. Men dif
fsr on religious questions Poli
tics divide the people and produce
organizations that contend for dif
ferent ideas and principles of gov
ernment. Reform has many
schools and the recognized leaders
of public opinion are far from
unanimous on the reform move
ments of the day. But when it
comes to education, there is no
conflict, no difference. It unites
instead ot divides. It is a unify
ing and uplifting agency. All
recognize its wholesonio influence.
I can think of no avenue of life
and no phase of work where educa
tion does not find a legitimate
place. Accepting this view of ed
ucation, we have a right to expect
great results from our educational
efforts and if these results are not
forth-coming, it is fair to presume
that something is wrong iu our
work and in our Bystem of educa
tion.
We educate in order to develop
honesty ot purpose in the lives of
men and women. Honesty of pur
pose is a consecrated effort to live
and woi k’for that Which makes
the world better. It is a dedica
tion of our bpst energies to the ad
vancement of all that is pure and
good. It is to live for a broader
and fuller life. It is the courage
to dare and to do. It is to outline
for ourselves a definite line of ao
tion along the path of duty and
then to follow that line of action
without fear or favor. An emi
nent authority has well said,
“There is no one quality that gives
so much dignity to charactor as
consistency of conduct.”
Duty and well-doing are always
pleasant companions. They nev
er get mixed. Whero honesty of
purpose exists, there duty is al
ways recognized, and respected.
Honesty of purpose leads on to
that higher and broader life where
good results come as a distinct
product of good and faithful work.
No man can be greater than his
purpose. Toe unrealised is always
greater than the realized. “In
every human life the unrealized
self is the unseen but all-powerful
force that brings into subjection
the will, guides the conduct and
determines character.”
Since this is true, it is the plain
duty of educators to impress upon
the growing mind the importance
of building a broad, deep, earnest,
honest purpose as a basis for ac
tion. Study the life of any man
who has achieved pre-eminent suc
cess in business, law, education
politics, reform or in any
ble pursuit of life, and yoi? will
invariably find that his purpose
has been high and pure and clean.
No man can accomplish anything
of a permanent character
he has a great purpose in viSw.
It is said of Henry Ward Beech
er that “be was truly incapable of
making a speech unless he balk a
purpose to accomplish.” I doulv
not butßeecher’s source of strength 1
was found in the exalted purpose
into which he fitted his life. The
men who do things, the men who
are leaders in thought and action,
the men who inspire, guide and di
rect, are the ones who aim to ac
complish results. The doers are
the makers of nations and the
builders of civilization.
It must be evident to all of us
that the supreme mission of edu
cation is to give to the individual
ag broad a view of life as possible.
In no better way can we sperform
this mission than by teaching the
boys and girls to be honest with
themselves and with the opportu
nities of the present.
Let us not today dream too
rouclj of the future, for then we
may lose sight of the rich oppor
tunity of the present. There is no
time flftter or richer than the
present. The purpose of our ex
istent is here now. It iB this pur-
wo must understand and
I believe each period of
life represents a distinct purposo.
The child’s life has a purpose pe
culiar to the child. Let the child
liifout this purpose during the
child period The boy is a boy
and has a purpose of existence pe
culiarly adapted to that. life. Do
not try to make the boy a man,
sos the understand the
purpose of the man life. Teach
the boy to use honestly the oppor
tunities of his day and to live a
and well-rounded life
a boy, and he will be better
■fffepared for the greater duties of
the years ahead of him. This is
what I mean by honesty of pur
pose in its practical sense. The
success of the individual aud the
welfare of society demand that the
purp jp of existence peculiar to
of life shall be recog
nised and realized as a result of
correct educational training. Fur
thermore, wo educate iu order to
develop strong moral characters.
Too much emphasis cannot be
placed upon morality as a force in
education.
Plato recognized the value of
moral education when he said;
“Youth should be kept strangers
to all that is bad, and especially
to things which suggest vice or
hate.” It is true that it is diffi
cult, if not impossible, to form an
ethical creed Ujat will meet all de
mands of oi«®ducational life.
Ai.d yet, there is satisfaction in
the thought that mora ity is a
bommon property. All men rec
ognize it as the only basis forhon
orkble work.
(Jm| of our eminent educators
has said: /FThere is a body
of morn tswffnqiou which all good
men, of whatever sect <-r opinion,
are agreed; it is the business of
the public schools to deliver to
this common fund of
moral truth.” *
In line with this sentiment Dr.
Harris says: “Moral education is
ivsviore iwlcdgtid to be the
most important part of all educa
tion.”,

I have been a constant reader
of your paper and several other
good agricultural journals, and I
find all of them are giving a great
deal of advice concerning our
next cotton crop, and it is very
good if our farmers would only
take it. I have been feeling around
among the people of this section,
and 1 find there is going to he an
enormous cotton crop planted, if
nothing is done to prevent it.
Now, where is the remedy ? I
want to hear from some of Un
loading farmers through your
paper.
In my humble judgement it
cannot be accomplished through
Farmers’ Institutes drawing up
long resolution* to cut dowu the
acreage; this has been tried and
proved to be a failure, for you
know “Mr. Jones” will be there
agaiu, and he will laugh at his
shrewduess and plant more than
he would have done before. After
it is too lato he finds that his
neighbors have doue the very same
thing. Now, in my opinion, if
you want a cotton crop of eleven
or twelve million bales, let the
Institutes of the cotton belt agree
to such resolutions, and next fall
the farmers will roll up a crop that
will startle the world. This is
the history of the past, and that
is the only way by which we can
judge the future. I would not
have it understood that I am op
posed to organization; every coun
ty, and, iu fact, every community,
ought to be thoroughly organized,
that they might meet aud discuss
things appertaining to their in
terest. The sole object of this ar
ticle is to get the farmer to think
ing where he is at, and if I should
accomplish this purpose, I will
not have made this effort in vain.
The object with the farmer to
day is not. who will be our next
President, but what will bo in our
corn cribs aud smoke houses next
fall. If they are full, we can live
happy, but if they are ompty there
is no Prosideut that cau makqlife
happy for us. We aro frank to
admit that supply and demand
has a great deal to do with the
price of all commodities; the past
year libb proven this beyoud all
doubt, and I hope the farmors
will profit thereby.

MEBITOBIUS PREPARATION.
I
BY AMOS OKAY, II l>.
After exposing and condemning
many of the doubtrul and even injuri- 1
ous preparations for the hair and scalp
which are produced and put on the
market by different manufacturers, it
is indeed a great relief to be able to
make a special report upon so worthy
a preparation as “Anti-kink. ’’ It is a
preparation that will straighten and
take the kink out of curly hair, and is
manufactured and sold to the trade by
Darragh & Rich, of New York City. In
commou justice to these gentlemen, we
as heartily oommend It as we have in
the past condemned many so-called
hair growers and restorers, and other
preparations for the treatment of the
hair and scalp.
For soiuejdays “Anti-kink” has been
the subject of a painstaking investiga
tion on tbe part of the compilers of
these Reports, and a spirit of fairness
impels tbe statement that the most
searching examination brought to
light much in connection with “Anti
kink” that is worthy of the highest
consideration, in fact, it in every re
spect merits our highest praise, and
affords the most gratifying results and
absolute safety in its use.
There is no head of hair that is so
kinky or curly, no matter what the
nationality or color may be, that a
thirty (30) day treatment of “Anti
kink" will not straigeten out in a most
gratifying manner.
If properly and vigorously applied
as directed, it will impart such a lustre
and brilliancy to the hair as will make
the use of all other preparations as
Brililantine entirely unnecessary.
We have devoted much time and la
bor to a thorough investigation of this
truly wonderful hair preparation, in
order that we might intelligently ad
vise our readers all over this broad
land, whose inquiries reach us by
every mail as to its virtues and worth,
and it is with a high degree of satis
faction that we find tbe results of our
investigation warrant us in giving
“Anti-kluk” the strongest editorial
and official endorsement of the United
States Health Reports: Those who

died and been practically mum
mified in a closet in a vacant house
less than half a block from tlfeir
home. Plumbers who had been
culled to stop a leaking water pipe
in the house found the withered
bodies.
The terrible death that the lads
met nud the finding of thair bodies
long afterward makes a nineteenth
century repetition of the ancient
story of Qinorva, the bride who,
on her wedding night, in sport hid
horsolf in an old chest whioh had
a spring lock and was never heard
ot more uutil her body was dis
covered many years afterward.
Detectives from the West One
Hundred and Twenty-fifth street
station arrested Cornelius Abeam,
sixty years old, a veteran of the
civil war, and locked him up in
the station Wednesday night. He
is accused of being a suspicious
person.
There is a chance that he may
be able to clear up the mystery
surrounding the death of the boys.
He was caretaker of the house at
No. 108 Edgeconibe avenue on
August 2, the date of their disap
pearance.
in this house. He lived in the
basement. Complaints filed by
the neighbors concerning his hab
its and his treatment of his own
children, fed Ur hiu tffsetrhrgw early
iit Onto bur.
Ahearn refused to talk when
arrested, save to express ignorance
of tlie manner in which young
Bitrne and young Loefler met
their deaths. He denied knowl
edge of how they had entered the
house, and asserted that iu over
two months, while he was in the
house and the bodies occupied the
closet on the second floor, he no
ticed nothing that would lead him
to make an investigation.
There ure mute evidences of the
puny struggles for life made by
these little boys on the walls and
the door of the closet. Some of
the plaster of the wall is knocked
off. About the place where the
knob should be thero are scratches
on the paint, showing where the
little fellows dug with their finger
nails.
In the lower panel of the door
there is a crack, denoting that
Loefler had kicked with all his
might to force the door open.
The whole surface of the door is
spotted with minute indentations
bearing the appearance of scratch
es. In their desperation the boys
attempted to scratch their way
out.
It was not long that the poor
little fellows were conscious of
their peculiarly awful position.
There was not much air iu the
closet. Beirue was the
succumb. He lay dowu with his
head to the northwest corner of
his tomb, his bare feet braced
against the door. Loefler sat up
iu the opposite corner, his right
leg doubled up, |he other across
the body of his com pan ion. And
so they died.
QUESTION ANSWERED.
Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in)the
civilized world. Your mothers
and grandmothers never thought
of using anything else for Indiges
tion or Billiousneas. Doctors were
scarce, and they seldsm heard of
Appendecitis, Nervous Prostration
or Heart Failure, etc. They used
August Flower to clean out the
system aud stop fermentation of
undigested food, regulate the ac
tion of the liver, stimulate the
nervous and organic action of the
system, aud that is all they took
when feeling dull and bad with
headaches and other aches. You
only need a few doses of Green’s
August Flower, in liquid form, to
make you satisfied there is noth
ing serious the matt* with you.

men If thfe world are not as rich
as they are thought to be.- That
this is tru» I* shown by the size of
the estates left, by some of, those
whose wealth wa? believed to be
almost fftbulo<n|
During his lifetime the fortune
of Cornelius Vanderbilt was esti
mated to be as much as $150,000,-
000., When hi* Estate was ap
praised it was foaud to be about
half that amount. Roswell P.
Flower wastr&ckoned among the
very rich man of New York. Many
times it was stated in the news
papers that he was worth at least
$20,000,000. After his death not
more than a fifth of that amount
could be found. *.
For many years John I. Blair
of New Jersey was said to be
among the very richest men of the
world. His wealth was estimated
to be fully $50,000,000. He died
recently at a ripe old age, and an
inrentory of his estate filed in the
surrogate’s office a few days ago
showed that his estate was worth
about $11,000,000.
Now and then a rich man leave*
an estate that is larger than it
was estimated to be during his
life, but in such cases there was
not, us a rule, any display of
woaltfi. If the truth could be got
at it is probable that there are
very few estates as large as they
are popularly supposed to be.
That is oue reason for thinking
that the amount of personal prop
erty which oseapes taxation is far
smaller than she advocates of
more sweeping and stringent as
sessment laws would have the pub
lic believe. No doubt a consider
able amount of securities escapes
taxation, but under no system of
taxation will it be possible to
reach all securities. More person
al property, would be returned for
taxation if the tax laws were more
nearly in accordance with what is
just. It seems about. pnpowiaie,
however, to get legislatures to en
act tax ? laws w hie fir ao not double
tux properly. —Savannah Nbws.

The young people who indulge

“setting out” a waltz will be more
fashionable from now on than
dancing. The “sitting out” em
bodies the same position as danc

you sit instead of dance. The

holds her right. Her left hand is
placed on his shoulder, while her
bead rests lovingly upon his bos

sit and listen to the music. Now
that is something like it. We
have always regard id it as quite a
nuisance to have to gallop a mile
or two to get a hug or two. A
room full of people sitting on
sofas hugging to music is more to
our notion. This will give tbe
old rheumatic brethren another
good chance to waltz. Men waltz,
not for the dance, but for the po
