THE DANGERS IN WHICH OUR REPUBLIC STAND, ANU THU SAFEGUARDS TO BE RAISED UP AGAINST THEM THROUGH EDUCA TION. 11l attempting to . write this article 1 have felt that I am not w ithout something to say— something that has to do with your duty and mine as citizens of this great republic of ours, our duty as thinkers to direct its policies and shape its pur poses, to guard against the many dangers that threaten to subvert its principles, todestroy the seed of decay that ignor ance would sow down among the people, to spread and to teach what the workings of this government mean, and what it needs to insure its existence, and to pave its pathway onward and upward to the summit of its course. The dangers that, threaten American liberty are here among us and not elsewhere Here is that popular ignorance which is lead by its inflamed passions, by prejudice, and by partisancy. Here is that cor rupt and fraudulent politics which debase public morality and destroy patriotism. Here is that strife for popular opin ion that, lays aside truth for the sake of private ends. These with others are the diseases that threaten our liberty, and to the cure of which we must ever turn to the virtue and intelli gence of our people, begotten of the true methods of educa tion. The fool and the deiiui gogue are more dangerous to the security of our republic than would he all the allied powers of the world. Over against these we must raise up the scholar and the patriot as he hope and anchor of safety. As the world was fabled in an cient times to rest upon the shoulders of Atlas, so the ex istenceand maintenance of this great republic rest upon tin shoulders of the intelligent cit izens. Then, to educate young men is the surest, plan for per manent liberty in this free land of ours, for upon the intelli gence of the citizens depend al ways and forever the existence of the republican form of gov ernment. In our form of government, the laws are enacted according to the wishes of a majority of the people, and if a majority of the people be ignorant, it is possible that the laws are the result of the wishes of the ig norant Ilian those of the intel ligent. But for the fact the ignorant are always lead by the intelligent, this would always he the case. However, the eaders are intelligent, and some one has said the scholar is the fair rose and expectancy of state, and in his keeping rests the mighty' issue as to whether this great experiment of the people's self government shall be preserved, or whether, unbalanced by ignorance and folly, it shall full from its high estate and in weakness shall go to the tomb of nat ions. We the citizens of this Amer ican commonwealth are too se cure in our belief in its stabili ty; our affection for our country is too blinded to be intelligent mid healthful; we ure too much inclined to regard our govern ment as eternal. But we must rememlier that there have been brave men before Agamemnon; so before this Union there have been great, nutionul (lowers, re publics and democracies us greut in their day as we are in ours, and yet one hy one Uleir lights have been quenched and each ind all have gone down to the universul sepulcher of nature ttead the history of uations, and we lind that like men they liuve their cradle and their tomb, their birth and their death, their rise, growth und decay. The Grecian republics, the very mother of civil liberty, bus long since dropped the schepter of its temporal power, and even the language spoken by its people is dead and heard no more upon the tongue of man; the city of the Ciesars, “eternal Rome,” though she seheptered the world and threat ened immortality itself, has dropped lilts' a star from the Zenith, and its history is the history is the history of the past. And so, to i, this great republic of ours, the latest born on earth,the embodiment of the loftiest principle*, may through causes that corrupt and debase its people, if uot stayed by the baud of intelligent Citizenship, LAWRENCEVILLE, GEORGIA, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7th 1897. go down to destruction. The young men will of neces sity soon furnish the executors, the legislators, ministers and instructors of the people; and, therefore, the prosperity of the future will be proportioned to the effort of the young to ac quire knowledge. Every man who casts a ballot studies the public question, contributes in some degree to mold the ten dency of the times. It. is every citizen’s duty l<> study and un derstand the needs of our insti tutions, to engage in politics, and to stand not aloof from participation in forming public opinion. To say that, politics have become corrupted is to plead guilty of criminal neg lect, and to now stand aloof and attempt no reformation is but to permit, the evil to grow greater, until the Upas tree of corrupt politics has spread ils branches of death over the land J.A. BagYvei.l. | TO RF, CONTINUED NEXT WEEK. ] FROM VICTORY ACADEMY, Editor Herald: If yen will allow us space in your valuable paper, we want to tell you some thing about tlie history of our school at old Victory Academy, for the past two years under the management of Prof. W. H. Thomas. > Prof, Thomas commenced his first term at this place January sth 1890, with a v.ery small at tendance, but by perseverance, energy and honest effort suc ceeded in winning the confi dence of patrons and students. And the first term of this school was by far the best ever known at Victory. Before the expira tion of the first term the en rollment stood at 77, with a fineaverage for the .entire term. The community secured the sei* vices of Mr. Thomas for 1897, and the school lias grown be yond the expectations of stu dents, patrons, teachers and friends. To your scribe this has been a school of schools. 112 students for this term! Mr. Thomas and the friends of the school secured the assistance of Mr. T. W. Ethridge, who, by his faithful work,gained the respect of students and patrons. As the school grew larger, Mr. Thomas secured a very nice organ, which adder! to the pleas ure of our duties. Miss Viola Ethridge assisted during a part of the summer term in literary and music, and all who know Miss Viola know her to he a sweet singer and exceedingly fond of music. In April 1897 the Lord took from our school a very bright little girl, Mias Fannie Boss, just entering her teens. Every one that, knew Fannie liked her, and it was sad indeed when we had to part with one of our best little friends and school mates. Her teacher says Fan nie was never known to disobey But the Lord does all things well, aud we should be ever ready to do bis will. To add (o the pleasure of the students and patrons, our teach ers arranged an interesting pro gram for an entertainment on Aug. “7th, hut before the sun disappeared behind tin- West ern lulls, and ere the song-birds had ceased their evening songs, the multitudes begun to assem ble. Some feared we would have bud order, and some of our county’s brightest young men und boys disgraced them selves on that occasion. Young men, take warning and never lie guilty of such again if you wish to lie successful and hap py. The little hoys and girls acquitted themselves with hon or, anil the patrons and friends were highly entertained for !1 hours tiy the primary classes. Jimmie Crow, soil of Mr. Dave Crow, received the prize as the best among the little boys, and Corrine Lowery was the success ful little girl. The prize was a very nice hand bibie. The young man who won the prize for the best speech was your scribe (Pr« ston Simpson.) It is the nicest hihle I ever owned, and is not for sab- at any price. Miss Cassie Boss, daughter of Mr. J, J. Boss, was the success till contestant among the young ladies. On Saturday evening, when the hour came, the largest crowd that was ever seen in Cains dis trict on such an occasion was present, and the order was ull that could lie desired. Mr. Thomas hud a very tine diction ary class, and he gave for the first best a nice dictionary. Miss Lassie Boss lead sh class. Miss Tilda Page was eeond, and was awarded the sail e prize as first. Honorable mention wa < made of Preston and John Cain, Tom mie Biggers, Willie Rociimore, Liza Timms. Emma Patrick, Equilla Page, Willie Boss, Sam Deaton, Amanda Crow and Let tie Rochmore, The prizes were deliv«red by Prof. John A. Pool in a very appropriate talk. On Sunday the 29t.h Rev. pool preached a short but impressive sermon to the students ai.d patrons. Last but not, least was our good-by to our dear teacher. Never before did I witness such a scene. Many of the students wept, bitterly, I went, with Prof. Thomas to the home of Mr. .1. J. Boss for dinner. Sev eral of the students came in, and as the sun begun to sink in the golden West, and we had to part again, I saw again the same spirit manifested as at the school room. Prof. Thomas goes to Har mony Grove Academy for next year. We are very sorry in * teed to see him leave He agreed to stay here if the pat rons would ceil the building add another room and s*at the house with desks, as it should be, but they failed to tin this and Mr. Thomas leaves, well beloved by students, patrons and all interested in the school He arid Miss Anna Bagwell, daughter of Rev. G.T. Bagwell, will have charge of the Harmo ny Grove school, and we bo speak for them eminent success. Preston Simpson. September Ist 1897. DO NOT DREAM. Lives oft times go out in dreaming.

TOMMY WAS A STRAT EGIST. A little boy dropped Ins drum stick into a well. In vain he entreated his pareuts, the gar dener, the footman, the coach man. the cook, the housemaids to go down into the well to re cover his drumstick. In his dis tress a brilliant expedient occur red to Master Tommy—he se cretly carried off all the plate from the sideboard and threw it into the well. Great was the consternation when the plate was missed, and an active search for the robbers took place. In the midst of 111" alums and con fusion Master Tommy run with the news that he had found the plate, “Where?” wus the cry. “Down the well,” replied Tom my. “ 1 saw it right plain shin ing at the bottom —spoons, la dles, bread baskets, salvers and all'” The housemaid hurried to the well, at the’bottom of which, sure enough, the plate wus seen. A ladder was pro cured, a servant descended and the plate was brought up. Just before the lasi article wus fished up Master Tommy whispered to him. “John, pleuse bring up my drum stick when you go down for the soap label.” —St. luiuis Post Dispatch.

Every one knows that Senator Tillman has only one eye, but it is very rarely that he refers to his affliction, says the Wash : ington Post. In fact, the first instance of this kind since he has been in the Senate ocsnrred in the debate when the armor plate was under consideration. In the course of the discussion Senator Tillman asked Senator Hale if he had ever visited the armor plants. “Of course I have,” replied Senator Hale. “I weut to Bethlehem,” said Mr, Tillmau, “and I Certainly watched with all the eyes that one poor fellow bad. I did not have but one eye, but I see a great deal with that.” “It is an all seeing eye,” commented Mr. Hale. “It cannot penetrate steel,” responded Mr. Tillman, amid laughter,'“hut it can penetrate rascality.” GAMBLING IN CRIPPLE CREEK. Out in Cripple creek the gam bling houses are running in overy saloon. They are huge gilded affairs, where the hard w’orking miners, after coining from their eight hour shifts, go to while away their time and money instead of thinking of home and mother and filling their sock with money to pay off the mortgages on the farms back home. The men stand five and six deep behind tho wheels watching the players as they risk their money, the less ad venterous hardly having the courage to make the play till, having seen some man quit a winner, they, too, step and bet on the black or the red. On the t Piles are stacked piles of silver - in and gold eagles, and the iterators of the machines every little while take occasion to show that the game is backed by much more than the thou sand or so that is in sight by displaying a stack of bills in a receptacle behind the table where the notes are thrown when paid in, with a kind of reckless abandon that is quite taking. At other tables a policy wheel will be running with so many drawing a day. In another cor ter of the room a crowd will be shooting craps, a large and in tensly absorbed crowd witness ing the play at each place. Off at one side a stud poker game is running.

It seems that the demands of the living present are for young men for oflice of public trust. Our young men ure fust forging to the front.

[This column is devoted to the missionary cause, and ised, ited by the \v. F. M. Society, \ Lawrenceville auxiliary.] HOW CATHOLICS EXPECT To BE SAVED. There is a great deal said nowadays about liberality to ward all kinds of religion. There is an idea abroad that if a person believes he is right he will be saved whether there is any truth in what ho believes or not. The Romish Church has profited greatly through this er ror. It lias become fashionable to enlarge on the goodness of Catholics; and sometimes the question is asked; “Now, when they are so good and so self sacrificing, why should they not lie saved?” But people are not saved because they are kind hearted, self-sacrificing, ami charitable. Only those who, through faith in Christ., have become now creatures have any well-founded hope of eternal life. No one can iove Catholics much better than I love some Mexican Catholics with whom 1 have lived. I was with them in their home while I was yet a stranger in a strange land, try ing with stammering tongue to speak a strange language. I re ceived from them every gentle courtesy that kind hearts could suggest; they were to me as father mid mother and brother aud sister; they still have a, warm place in my heart —all of. them, from the parents to the] rosy, dimpled, cooing baby in cradle. Because I love Catholics I want you to realize the fact that there is no hope of salva tion for them in the Romish Church. They trust in Mary for salva tion; they do not look to Christ for it. He is a very subordi nate figure in their religion; In* can do nothing unless Mary per mits it, or, rather, unless she suggests it. God and Christ are always represented as angry judges, whom Mary must pro pitiate. For this reason they address to her such petitions as the following: “Health of the sick,” “Consolation of the affliction,” “Help of Christ ians,” “Bray for us,” “Be thou my Mother and my help in this life and in the hour of my death.” Many a time have I stood in Catholic churches and heard the kneeling worshipers re|ieal over and over a thousand times, till it seemed that the monoto ny of it might drive them dis tracted; “Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and in the hour of death. Amen.” Wlumi they go over t heir rosa rite they repeat ten prayers to Mary and one to Clod. A Cath olic theologian, whose works are standard among those of hi* Church, declared: “Many things which are asked of G->d are not received; if they art asked of Mary, they are obtain ed.” He ulso says: “Some times we shall he more prompt ly heard and saved by having recourse to Mary, and calling on her holy name, than by in voking the name of Jesus, our Saviour.” In view of tln-se facts one of their leading theo logians has admitted that the liomish Church is the Church of Mary, and not the Church of Christ. They believe that they are saved by their baptism—that is, tiy the sprinkling which the priests administer, together with the spittle, salt and conse crated oil. A Mexican will say: “Mrs. So-and-So did not have her baby baptized! How dreadful! If it should die, it would he lost!” Hut no Catholic has that peaceful, restful feeling that one has who feels that his sins are pardoned by Christ. For this reason they have several ways of obtaining salvation. They do [reliance to secure the pardon of their sins. There is a house of penance in this city that will accommodate fifteen hundred [ample at once, and several times during the year it is fu 1. They scourge their hare shoulders till the blood Hows, and they till the house with screams and groans, ti«- '•00 PER ANNUM, IN ADVANCE sides this, they do penance in the churches and in private. 1 hey crawl along the floors i f the churches, ar.d kneel for hours with extended arms. Not only the ignorant ppople do these things, but all classes do so, They expect to be saved by good works. It is more diffi cult to introduce tho idea of freedom of salvation into the mind of a Catholic than any other, perhaps. You may talk to them for hours, and tell them all tho Scriptures that you know on the subject, and at the end of it all they wil turn to you and say: “But won’t He save me for my good works? How can He let mo be lost if I do good works?” This explains why nuns M ill go on battlefields, among the flying balls, and nurse leppers on the lower Mississippi and in the islauds of the Pacific. They are buying their salvation. You ami I have seen the day when even those things would have seemed easier to us than just giving up our own way and trusting in Christ. But after doing all these j things and many others to se cure salvation, including the last confession, extreme unc tion, and the absolution of th> priest, every one of them (lie trying desperately to cling to the hope that thousands of ypars of suffering in tho flame* of purgatory may so purify him that he may at last enter heav en—provided, of course, his friends w ill pay the priests suf . tieient money to secure his re ' lease.
