Since I have been termed a '‘re
ligious dyspepstc’ by my highly
esteemed b-other and elder, C. S,
Hawkins, it might be in order lor
me to state what my readme mat
ter has consisted of, bo others
might avoid danger.
He intimates that what I have
read has deranged my religious di
gestive faculties. I learned to read
in Webster’s Spelle r and from the
Cumming Clarion ana its success
ors., on down t the North Geor
gian. I have read them all. My
first book to read was the New
Testament, and finding so many
references to the Old Testameut I
soon fell in love with it, and these
have been my favorite books ever
since. I next read Pilgrim’s Prog
ress and the life of Ch-rist, by
Goikie, This naturally lead me on
to Josephus.
I was always fond of history, so
I have read Swinton, Egglestone,
Whits, Stephens, Mcube and Ban
croft.* Finding so much said in
those histories concerning the per
secution of the church, I desired
to get familiar with church histo
ry, so I purchased those histories
that began back in the days of the
Apostles, and 1 have studied cen
tuiy by century down to the pres
ent I have read the “Iron Wheel.”
I have also read “Brownlow’s Re
ply.” I was never content to see
ju t one si e. I want all the evi—
Ji'jice. 1 read TANARUS, O. Summer on
baptism just as anxiOusiy as I read
I\ 11. M 11. The Life of Splirgeop
lies in the case w ith that ot Sam
Jones.
Orchard’s Baptist history and
the Calviuistic Confession and the
Disc pi me of the Methodist church,
South, and the history of the Geor
gia Baptists, and su rh works as 1
have on the Life of John Wesley,
are all anxiously read by this dys
peptic drone,
My newspapers include botn the
religious and secular. The secu
lar have included the democratic,
the republican, the populist and
the independent.
1 have ao far as possible re id
both sides before condemning or
approving. The books and papers
I have read are my servants ; I am
not theirs. The Bible is my guide
and I am daily trying to follow its
teachings as best I can. lam no
man’s servant, politically, relig
iously or otherwise.
Your readers have requested me
’to he plain and not use such big
-words, lam going to do that just
as much aB po--Bible. So let every
body be like Job.
I will answer brother Hawkins
fu.ther on. 1 may have to con
tinue. It may take i hat full of
little words.
Let me tell you something you
don’t hear every day about this
tnissioQ business. Now notice,
there is raised each year sixteen
million dollars for the purpose of
having the gospel preached to all
nations. This is raised in the
United States Now let us get
this sixteen million in a shape so
we can comprehend the amount.
Suppose this money is in silver
dollars of which 16 weigh a pound.
We would have one million pounds
Now divide one million pounds by
two thousand pounds and we have
five hundred. Thus you see it
would take sOO wagons carrying
one ton each to carry this pile of
silver from Cummiug out to Duck
town. It would be a foad for one
thousand mules. This goes out of
the United States each year.“And
yet they say more ! more ! !
MOKE! ! ! And we have heard
the same piping and trumpeting
voices since our boyhood, remind
ing the Lord and the people of
their combined obligations toward
the heathen.
For what does this money go—
for what is it spent? It was beg
gtd for the purpose of spreading
the gospel. It goes to pay officers
for handling it and for furnishing
free sch oling, including books,
houses, gymnastics,medicine, dent
al work, teaching negroes Eng
ish, mathematics, music and alge
bra, and how to farm and to em
ploy snrgeons, doctors, dentists
and gold leaf to plug their rotten
teeth and to buy negro babies. It
goes to keep those missionaries in
luxury, living sumptuously. The
money that you boys and girls dig
out in the cotton patch g*es to
toach lazy negro children grammar
The money you good hard work
ing women around Pisgah contrib
ute for foreign missions goes to
hire the missionary’s wife three
servants to do her cooking, wash
ing, etc., not that she needs them,
but she must keep in style with
the upper tendum.
(Continued next week.)
Look Out!
For the overseers are after Rogers’
scalp, judging from th* present
commissioner of Gumming district.
I suggest that H. V. Jones get a
commissioner that knows when a
road is in go'fod shape and what a
day’s work is You can give some
men the high office of road coin
tnissioner and lie will get so big
that he can’t stay off the people
long enough for them to get their
mattock sharpened, till he wai ts
a tine, lie is not interested in good
roads so much if he had to be a
hand; lie just wants to seethe
other follow work, because lie has
got a little authority.
I think it would be imposing on
In disorders and dis
eases of children drugs
seldom do good and
often do harm.
Careful feeding and
bathing are the babies’
remedies.
Scott’s Emulsion
is the food-medicine that
not only nourishes them
most, but also regulates
their digestion. It is a
wonderful tonic for chil
dren of all ages. They
rapidly gain weight and
health on small doses.

human nature to send any crowd
of hands to work their roads in
such a time as we have had this
spring. It has net been any time
fit to work the roads ; it has been
too wet or too dry. and I, for one,
will not call my hands out to work
the roads in such a time, and if
you had come up here and brought
that beef we would have had a
time. Try it and you will find it
so.
Just so I keep my road in good
condition as possible, I have got
this year in which to fix my road.
\.ny many with an atom of road
judgment knows that that there
hasn’t been any suitable time to
work the roads in this country
this spring and you wait till your
turn comes and you can talk. It
sounds just a little too smart to get
out to telling what you are going
to do, It is common for a state
officer to advertise what he is go
ing to do for the state, but it
sounds mighty big for a road com
missioner to say that he is going to
have so and so done by a certain
time. It must be something that
you eat that makes yeu talk that
way, But you have such a high
office that you can eat beefsteak or
fresh fish and wear king quality
shoes, for bacon is too strong to
eat and bulk is too high to buy at
2o cents a pound, and a few fifty
dollar fines will buy fresh steak or
fresh fish and sit in the shade aud
see the boys dig and eat bread and
milk and go barefooted. Dig,
boys, I am a big one; I can make
you do as I say. That is the reason
we have no better system, because
we have such men to fix the sys
tem that is so smart that they all
do something and do nothing but
blow a little. There is suefi a thing
as a road getting
thrown overboard by getting too
his hat. It has done.
K* fe- 1 work my work in half a day
it is nobody’s business, akid if it
takes a month it is the overseers’
and hands business as to Ijow long
it takes them to work ttje *r©ad,
and the best thing for you' 10 do is
to stay at home and keep your
mouth shut till time to look over
the roads, and if it is no 1 in lawful
condition, or good shape, send
them hack till they work it. \ou
can make a man work or pay a fine
but when you try to make a man
pay a fine and work besides, you
may strike a knot somewhere that
bring® on more talk.
I will stop for tnis time.

We always feel complimented
when we are taken to the family
sitting room instead of the parlor
when we call upon our neighbors
and Btill more pleased if we are
giveu the privilege of going where
our hostess is engaged, if at the
time of our call she happens to be
busy. With what pleasure do we
remember the homes where we
are welcomed almst as members of
the family, feeling free to go to
every parr of the hou-e. What a
delight it is to visit where our ad
vent is altogether a source of plea
sure and where we do not feel that
our hostess is anxiously thinking
“What shall we eat aud what shall
we drink?”
