Why Is The Ameri
can Constitution
Great?
1 Gladstone is said tn have ap.
praised the American Constitution
hs the "most wonderful work ever
struck off at a given time by the
brain aud purpose of man.” Re
calling M r. Gladstone’s retnarkabh
cjmmentßrj in.'lines one to re
lection on the futility of our Con
ititution. Why is the Constitu
tion of the United States a great
locumenty
It was framed at a cOuventior
-vnich assembled in Philadelphia
May 25, 1757, and completed its
liborc September 17, following,
latiy of the most noted Araericam
of that time were merr. hereof the
convention. Among these wert
leorge Washington, Benjntnii
Eratikhn, James Madison, Alexan
der Hamilton, Roger Sherman
lob rs Morris, James Wilson, and
'harley Pinckney, Perhaps w
tan see here h cause which .opera
ted to make to Constitution a
treat document—it was the work
>f three and a half months of son e
>f America’s greatest minds.
Briefly stated, the great provis
oes of the American Oonetitutioi
ire— t
1. It tudtea the septtrMe Slaiet
into a Nation, a union for the com
non good ,of all | it sets up a
Government which derives its
just powers from the consent of
he governed.
2. It. sets a balance between cen.
*ral Federal authority and tin
Jtate governments which, though
diaken at times, has been admira
lty maintained for nearly a cen
ury and a half
3. It defines the three branches
•f government—legislative, exe
cutive, and judicial—with such
Manty and effectiveness that seri
'us encroachment by one branch
upon anolher is next to impossi
ble.
4. It provides for the making
and enforcement of laws, not by
‘divine right” of king or by other
superimposed authority, but by
representatives of the people duly
chosen by the people.
5. It provides for a judiciary de
signed to be independent, free
from the hazards and changes of
partisan politics, aud subject to
the least possible undue influence
6. It guarantees to each indivi
dual all the rights of a free man.
and espe ially guaranfets th
tight to life, liberty, and the pur
suit of happiness; it insures reli
gions freedom and freedom of
speech and of the press.
7 It encourages industry and
thrift, promotes equality ofoppor
unity, elevates womanhood, and
fixes on individual citizenship and
the home as the proper found) -
tions of organized society.

''o’clock when the Angel of Death
claimed her gentle spirit nt the
advanced age of eighty.seven years,
fix months and twenty,three days;
for this truly refined lady wan
iorn on Mar, 19th 183(>,
For months the deceased seem
•d to grow more and more infirm,
out she seemed so cheerful and so
Deply inieresied in the progress
'f the other inmates of her son's
lome, that the gradual decline
vas not so apparent, and when
she drifted off 10 sleep after an
illness of three days the members
•>f the family circle have found it
'ard to become reconciled to this,
irreparable loss
Nearly oil of her life Mrs Bodr,
ford has been a faithful earnest
vorker in the Methodist church.
Her Bible, for years has been h
;reat Ooußolation to her.
She is survived by her son, Ci I
orow, his wife, (She has resided
vith them for about fifteen years.)
nd by five grand sous, Messrs J.
M., Dewitt, Smiley I, (Sie) Bill
nd Charles Grow, one grand
'aughter, Miss Battle Kate ‘’STow'"
md one groat.grand child, the
young arm of Mr, and M. J.M,
Grow. She leaves some nephewg
md nieces, among whom are Df
E. B. Baughn of this oily Mr,
Charley Dickenson of Bninbridge
and Mesdames P, E. Wilkin Os
tlns'City aud Mrs. T. R. Perry of
Camilla.
A devoted cousin of hers, Mrs.
E. A. Boykin, also resid's here;
but Mis Boykin's illness is so
severe now, that she has not. been
info-med of Mrs. Boditord’s death.
Tbe funeral services were held
at 3 Saturday P. M. in the
M. E. church the impressive ser
mon being preached Ly her pastor,
Rev. H. H. Heisler.
Tbe interment followed in the
city Cemetery, her body resting
near tbe grave of the late Gerald
Grow, a beloved grandson who
died in the U. S. service, during
the World .Var.
Many lovely fiornl tributes rest
on tbe newly made mound.
No doubt of her being prepared
for the transit on. rests on the
mind of .any out' who came in
close contact with the gen le type
of womanhood, who setmed a link
connecting the pre=ent with tbe
best of the <lid South.
The Liberal shares its sympathy
with the bereaved family and
friends.
After life’s fitful fever she rests
well.
