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 RHEUMATISM CURED. After eminent physicians and all other known remedies fail, Botanic Blood Balm (B. B. B.) will quickly cure. Thousands of testimonials attest this fact.

I tee no reason why it should not be as healthy as the States, The average temperature seldom rises above 90 degrees, and during the rainy season falls as low as 55 degrees. The labor of the island is all done by Chinese Coolies, and they are not at ail reliable, but have to be worked under guard at all times. The riativePhilippino, or “Gu Gu,” as they are called here, is not to be on at all, and will not work any more than is necessary to keep him alive. This church is where the 10th Pennsylvania won fame last Feb ruary during the first of the na tive outbreak. At one time the church has been a beautiful one, but now it is sadly marred by the occupation of American troops.

We were all in hopes that we would be sent to the south Hue, the only place where they can strike any fighting at all, but the expedition has goue, so we are left out.

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.”, (TO BE COIrtINUED. ) There is no better medicine for the. babies than Chamborlain’s Cough Remedy. Its pleasant taste venting pneumonia or other seri ous cousequences. It also cures croup and ha* been used iu tens of thousands of cases without a single failure so far as we have been able to learn. It not only cureß croup, but given as soon as the croupy cough appears, will prevent the attack. In cases of whooping cough it liquefies the tough mucus, making it easier to expectorate, and lessens the sever ity and frequency of the parox ysms of coughing, thus depriving that disease of all dangerous cou sequences. sale by Bagwell Drug Co., Lawrenceville, Ga.

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. J.

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 follow the suggestions herein contain ed may rest assured that in every es sential feature MAnti-kink” will be I found to be a most excellent article, ' and sure to achieve sucoess where dl- I rections are faithfully followed.

Nkw Yohk, Feb. 16, —Charles B. Bairne, eleven veAre old, and Martin Loefler, 9 years old, up to Wednesday had been missing from their homes, at Nos. 115 and 119 Edgecombe avenue, respectively, for more than six month*. The father of Oharles Boirue and the parents of Martin Loefler believed tint their boys had been drowned. The' discovery was made Wed nesday that the little fellows had 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.

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.
