Now. what are the facts in the
se?
Here in the South, and all over the
South, the authorities of tlie public
ichools, and private schools, too, have
rrown to be careless in the selection
)f text books for the children attend
ng those schools. Nine times out of
in visiting the school sot the South
me will find the pupils poring over
some Northern history which, though
It may not be bitter in its denunciation
fef the South, still has the ring about
It to encourage the erroneous belief
that the fathers of these same children
[were traitors to their country', and
[fought for a cause that was wrong,
Unholy.
As surprising as it may sound to
the parents of children now attending
Southern schools this truth must soon
or late come out, that their sons and
[daughters are being taught to view the
late civil war with Northern eyes.
They are being stolen away from the
laltar of their mother’s knee, where the
first lesson of citizenship was taught
them to be love of country, honor to
the Cause that was lost, but which
ehall,never be forgotten.
It is indeed high time to call a
halt
| Southern men and woman are false
- to the memory of our dead heroes
■when they permit such a course to be
pursued in the schools. We want our
I children to be taught the truth Heaven
forbid that the New South shall ever
forget the old. God pity the day
when the youth of our land the hope
°f the Nation, should be led from the
alt.li of patriotism to the cause for
which their fathers fought, bled and
died.
is the duty of Southern men and
women to see to it that their children

Drinking an Improved
Farm.
homeless friend with the chro¬
matic nose, while you are stirring up
the sugar in a-ten cent glass of gin
let me give you a fact to wash down
with it. You say you have longed
tor years for the free, independent
life of the farmer, but have never
been able to get enongh of money
together to buy a farm. But this is
just where you are mistaken. For
several years you have been drinking
a good improved farm at the rate oi
one hundred square feet at a gulp.
If you doubt this statement figure it
out for yourself.
An acre of land contains 43,560
square feet. Estimating for con¬
venience the land at $43 56 per acre,
you will ^ee that it brings the land
to just one mill per square foot, one
cent for ten square feet. Now pour
down the fiery dose and imagine you
are swallowing a strawberry patch.
Call in five of your friends and have
them help you gulp down the 500
foot garden. Get on a prolonged
spree some day, and see how long a
tune it requires to swallow a pasture
large enough to feed a cow. Put
clown that glass of gin; there’s dirt
in it—one hundred feet of good, rich
dirt, worth $T3 55 p er acre.—Bob
Burdette.
A WELL OF FROZEN AIR
Near Dayton, Ga., there is a well
locally know-n as tbe “well of frozen
air.” In drill'inglhe well a stratum
of frozen clay and gravel was en¬
countered at a depth of. fifty-ffive
feet. After passing through five
feet of this, numerous cavities were
encountered, from which cold air
came in guests. The escape of air
which comes from .the subteranean
depths is so frigid that it is impossi¬
ble for anyone to hold his hand for
more than two minutes without hav¬
ing it frozen. A bucket of water set
over the opening will freeze through
and through withm a few hours. It
is needless to add that work was
abandoned on the well when the
cavities of frozen air” were tapped.—

FOUND HIS MAN.
“ Is there a gentleman in this car
from Kentucky ?” Asked a passenger
on the Georgia R. R.
“Yes, sir,” replied a fine looking

“ I am proud to say I am from (hat
State ”
“ Thank you,”, replied the other
passenger, “please lend me your cork¬
screw.”—Chicago News.

THE MILLENIUM.
Curious Calculations in Chrono¬
logy Founded Upon the Scrip
tubes. ..
The widespread excitement of the
North American Indians a few
months ago over the expected coming
of a Messiah for their race by a curi¬
ous coincidence had followed closely
upon a marked reviyal of the dis¬
cussion the millenial doctrine in va¬
rious parts of the country. Now we
have an interesting contribution to
the subject in the calculation just
made by Lieut. Charles A. L. Tot
ton, Fourth artillery, which fixes,
the date for the Second Advent for
March, 1899. Lieut. Tot,ton, who
is detailed as professor of millitary
science and tactics at the Sheffield
Scientific School of Yale University,
has for several years made remark¬
able applications of mathematical
science to scriptures. Recently he
fixed upon the exact date when
Joshua commanded the sun to stand
still; and has also made curious cal¬
culations to show that fundamental
dimensions of the Great Pyramid
are founded on distances in the so¬
lar system, and employed the inch
unit of measure known to our En¬
glish system of long measure. He
has further made studies to show
that Americans are the lost tribes ol
Israel.
It is riot improbable that not, in
one form or another, there may be a
considerable revival oi millenanism.
One of the last noteworthy agitations
ot the subject was that of Dr. John
Cumming, who had fixed the begin¬
ning of the millenial peri od for
about a quarter of a century ago.
But a quarter of a century before
that a far more widespread and
famous excitement was caused in
the United Slates by William Mill¬
er, who had predicted the Second
Advent for 1843. But more or less
important predictions and agitations
can be found during many centuries
The grades of belief on the subject
have varied from that of an ap¬
proaching destruction of the world
at a fixed hour that to of a coming
in of the Golden Age without any
-pyh* ical crash. In various countries
there have been sects that have held
from time to time that the mitien
ium had already begun, and that
they were enjoying its opening
years. Perhaps the greatest period
of modern millenarianism was the'
one between 1600 and 1650, but dur¬
ing the first and second centuries it
was a very generally accepted tenet.
Taking together the Book of Daniel
and the Revelations, the endeavor tr*
find in current events the fulfillment,
or a tendency to fulfillment, of the
prophecies there made, was then
almost univeisal.
The last decade of years of the
present century, on which we have
now entered, is likely to turn specu¬
lation anew in this direction; and
presumably the twentieth century
will see it still more rife, and gain¬
ing in intensity as the year 2,000
approaches. A learned divine of
the Dominion has for some time
fixed upon that date for the Second
Advent, arguing that the greatest
crisis in human history have occur¬
red at intervals ot 2,000 years from
the creation, assuming this last to
be about 4,000 years before the
.Christain era. The same date has
been fixed by those who hold that
the six days of creation signified
o>- typified six periods, of 1,000 years,
each, in the world's history devoted
to toil and endurance, to be followed
by a seventh of blissful rest. But
what is most singular is the variety
of texts and calculations adopted by
those who deal with this subject.
Lieut. Totten, for example, finding
all the material be needs in a chap¬
ter of the Gospel of St. Luke and
another of the Gospel of St. Mat¬
thew. without resting upon the
Apocalypse or the earlier prophets.
The expectation that the list day
of the world would come in the j’ear
1000 A. D. was widespread, as the
history of that period shows. The
approach of the j’ear 2000 is likelv
enough to see history repeating itself
in that particular. The millenarian
doctrine, however, is obviously quite
distinct from any such foreboding
since by its very terms it gives the
world ^another thousand years of
existence, and tinder far happier
conditions than it has ever known.
Lieut. Totten, if he is correctly 7
reported, does not look for the
world sooner than a million vears;
and in any cane the conception of a
millenuim. assuming, as it is not
to be confounded with those who
look for the near approach of the
world’s end.—N. Y. Sun.
