BILL ARF? Eill Still ^Pegging A. Atlanta Cc The Constitution says there is a rowiDg sense of justice in tho North that will hereaftqr be heard fiom in negro officials over southern ^ }y. *r flerald has opened a rift in the clouds by rebuking the president, etc We hope so, but now that Roosevelt has appointed a Boston coon to a high office, The Herald may change front and say he is consistent. That growiog sense of justice is a chamelion of *j0y colors. It was quite visible a little while after Grady made his charming speeches in New York and Boston, but the preaohers withered it and McKinley made more appoint ments and kept making them as Ion? as he lived. This growing seuse does not seem to flourish in many places. The fact is, we have almost despaired 0f ever seeing justioe grow at the north. Lately I have reoeived three letters from up there that indioate the growing sense, and I have read and re read them with comfort. One of these is f rom an old Mezioan veteran who says that of the fc,700,000 soldiers who fought against us, one million were from the east fighting to free the negroes, Grant's included. One mil lion from the west fighting for the union and the other 700,000 were the riff-raff and scum, the* flotsam and jet sam of all nations who joined the army for bounty and booty and beauty, and they were the element that Sherman employed to make war hell. He speaks of the war as unholy, unright eous and unjust. Another letter is [from Portland, Oreg., and says tho writer recently got hold of one of my letters which said that General Grant was a slave holder and hired out his negroes up to the close of the war and lived off of their hire. He says: "I didn't believe it but was induced to examine his biography and I found it was so." He says that nobody in that country ever heard of it and it is amazing and aston ishing that Lincoln would appoint a slave-holder to be the head of the army. The writer of this letter was brought up to believe that the South brought all the negroes from Africa. Another letter is from a New Hamp shire man, a veteran, who says that he and seven others from his town joined a company in 1862, and only ono be sides himself got back. Ever since |then he has been reviewing his folly and the folly of the war and is asham d of his people and says that I do not score them in my letters as hard as they deserve. He has Hinfeon wan Helper's famous campaign ' book, in which ho says: "We are going to free your slaves nd arm them with pikes and torches md butcher your families and burn pp your homes." This book is indorsed by sixty-seven ?embers of congress, inoluding John iherman. Appleton says that 167,000 opies were sold in three months and t preoipitated the raid of John Brown, it whose exeoution all tho church bollo New England tolled a requiem. And so I have found three northern ers who have this growing sense and I Bare heard of one more who is a sus pect. I am keeping a tally sheet and ? soon as I hear of any moro growing enee I record it. My Oregon friend's eoeration came up since the war and Jever had time to bother themselves Jbou| the history of the war of slavery, jf lie South was outside of their conoern od Jeff Davis was the arch traitor bat Roosevelt told about in his his J?ry- That is all ho cared to know. Jut he says your late letters have ex iteu our curiosity and if when your >ook is out, you will let mo advertise |Dd sell it in my own way, I will sell 00,000 copies north of the line. This pan is a big advertiser with head Qarters in Ghioago and sent to me a >? lot of his cards and literature. Well, Mr. Byrd will see about that, Qt to my opinion his northern cus mer9 don't oaro a baubee about me r Grant or his niggers. They remind of two fellers who went off to mP meeting, and as they were stand I by a tree one of the brethren oame IP ?nd invited them to go up to the J* ?d jine 'em in gittin* religion. kp men seemed somewhat indignant j* replied: "You must ezouse us ,r? we don't lire in the county." But I did find a rift in the olouds hlJ gave nmeh comfort. In tho 'elfth volume of John Lord's 4<Bea (Rights of History" I find a sketch A?beri E. Lee by Dr. E. Benjamin Andrews, that is a loving tribute to MF* great soldier. 8uoh a glowing Wjtate was hardly to be ozpeoted T^0111 a northern source. Especially F1? one born in Now Hampshire, located at Brown university and who f'Ded the army while 18 years old * who lost an oyo Tat Petersburg, ?an educator ho rose rapidly in his Zession and beoame president of F ?im? mater. Nezt ho was oalled S LETTER. way at the Yankees. institution. ? to Chicago to take charge of her pub- , lio schools and later on was chosen as ] chancellor of the University of No- , braska, where he now is. Since the j war he has frequently championed the j cause of tLo South and became un- , popular with our malignant enemies. , Of course as he joined the army so \ young and lost an eye, we must let him keep hie convictions, but he is a big* j hearted, brainy man or he would not \ have dared to have Tritten that tri- t bute. I wonder how it happened \ that such men as Andrews and away ( baok, euch men as Webster and Haw- ^ thorne and Emerson and Story and t Ghoate, could grow up and mature ] among the noxious weeds of New j England. I still recall with much ; pleasure a good speech I heard in j 1844, at Amheret college?a com- , menoement oration by Bufus Choate, who was regarded as the most bril- , liant, eloquent and impassioned orator \ of America. . I had a sohoolmate j there, and my Boston unolo said he t would go with me, for he Lad to look ? after Mr. Ghoate, for he was an inti mate friend. I didn't know exactly \ what that meant, but found out later. - The great hall was crowded with , the best p-*tple of New England. My [ unole wr.s witli others seated upon j the plftttorra. Mr. Ghoate's face was \ all nerves and muscles, his large eyes ] and mouth conspicuous. For half an j hour his voioo was almost a mono- j tone with every word carefully ' and distinctly uttered, but this was j but the breathing of a gentle wind be- { fore the storm. Soon he seemed to lose control of his own emotions and ] soared away among the stars, and his \ features took on an unearthly glow, his , arms responded to every sentence, his \ frail body swayed to and fro and his ] audience unconsciously swayed with \ him and held their breath for fear < they wnuld lose a word or a motion. , No, I will never forget, that speech. , He stopped because he had to stop, < for with the last eloquent sentence he j became exhausted and was bodily lift- i ed by my uncle and others to the ante < room where he was stripped and rub- 5 bed down like an exhausted raoe \ horse. In an hour or so he was re newed and revived. This was Bufus j Ghoate?a bundle of quivering pas- 2 sionate nerves?whose eloquenoe no , audience could calmly listen to and , no jury withstand. Bill Arp. \ South Carolina's -'Bed Bones." Bava you erer heard of a class of people called "red bones?" said Lewis < Marshall of Charleston, S. C, to thb Washington Star. "They are the j most peouliar people in the United States. No ?ne living absolutely known the raoe from which the/ sprang or whence the original settlers oame. They live nearly on the boundary line between South Carolina and Georgia, in the northwestern part of the first named state. They aro very clannish, mix very little with people nob of their raoe, and in a manner are quite thrif ty. I am of the opinion that they are descendants of the Basques of South ern Fran0o. Th ey do not laok courage for a oompany of them norvad in Hampton's legion during the late Civil war, and bore themselves bravely at the first Manassas. Their skin is of a swarthy red, resembling that of the Indians, bat at that point all resem blanoe ceases, except it be that they are verp hot of temper. I have often wondered why the ethnologists of this country have not studied these poeple. Surely a monograph on them would be highly interesting."

Wanted?a Husband. _ The many friends in this his native County will read with considerable interest the notioe published below of Lieutenant Louis C. Richardson, which was clipped from the Raleigh, N. C, News and Observer: "Lieutenant Louis C. Riohardson, United States navy, one of the most popular men in the service, is in Ral eigh. Lieut. Rjohardson is a nativo of South Carolina, having been bora and reared in Anderson county. He leaves to-day for Wilmingtoo after having had charge here of tho recruit ing office for Undo Sam's fighting Forces. There are few men in the navy whose living have been filled with more interesting adventure than Ihe life of Lieutenant Richardson. Graduating from the Naval Academy in the class of 1897 ho served during the war on Admiral Sampson's flag* ihip, the Now York. No opportunity tras given here to distinguish him self, but this experience was delayed, until he began his services in Samoa. As an ensign he went out on tho Abe renda and for nearly three years lived aboard the vessel just off Samoa. Here he entered into the life of the people, studying as few men do in the conditions confronting these people. As a "white chief" he became pop alar with the people. He learned their unwritten language, acquired a perfect knowledge of their oustoms md became the friend of all classes of moiety. It is a faot that during the stay of the Abcrendo Lieutenant Riohardson was the object of greatest admiration imong the fair sex of the oountry. Ehe society of Samoa is divided into three classes, the royal, the chief and the chief and the common. One never mingles with another. In this land 10 one works and the proud race wear 20 clothing other than the loin olothes. Fhe missionaries are making desper ate efforts to give the people a writ ten language. It is a matter of record that on one bright and glorious day the Aborenda was visited by a delegation of princes and high chiefs. The governor sent for Lieutenant Richardson and upon ins arrival upon deck he was informed that the princess and high chiefs de ?ired the officer to marry the princess rf Fungasa, who was reputed to be )uc of the most beautiful and graceful if the Samoan women. It was an nounced as the intention of the dele gation to order ? two weeks, holiday in. Samoa and to give to the groom50 fine mats, and kill BOO pigs for the feast to follow the ceremony. Lieutenant Richardson realized the pride whioh filled the hearts of the 3amoans and he knew that he had a difficult proposition before him to make an exouse and rid himself of the honor thust upon him. He made a brief talk, expressed his thanks to the princess and high chiefs, but told them that he was under the )rders of the "Great White Chief," the president of the United States, md that .^o could not marry the prin )ess without his permission. He ex plained that if he married and took the princess home with him she would freeze to death. Lieut. Riohardson is handsome, winning and popular, but he iB not looking forward to orders to return to Samoa, the land in whioh he is thought )f as an idol. He has often since met the princess and she is one of his best friends in the far away land. Boon for Farmers. Washingtou, D.C., Jan. 14.?There irill be no more dreaded plagues of trass hoppers or of loousts. The De partment of Agriculture has disoaver )d a plague to kill the plague? the germ of an extremely contagions insect lisease that oan wipe out the vastest twarm of looudts or of grasshoppers in % single night. The discovery is the result of years of patient investiga tion on the part of the department en tomologists, and the praotioal value of the discovery has been demonstrated, government agents and private indi viduals aoting as suoh, all over the world. The disoovery is held to be of immense value to farmers in those sections of the oountry, notably the Middle, West and Southwest, where the looust and grasshopper pl&gucB bave for years been one of the most Ireaded possibilities against whioh the farmer has to contend. ?

After her marriage the Senator went to a newspaper office and handed in a no tice announcing the wedding of Jooaie Benton to John 0. Fremont. The ed itor suggested that the groom's name was usually put first, whereupon Ben ton said explosively: "It will go is that way are not at all: Fremont did not marry my daughter; she married him."_^ Stops the Cough and Works off,the ' Cold.

Women must hold up their skirts J and protect their gowns from threat- ( ening nails and sharp corners whilo 1 shopping or marketing. Justice Hur ley yesterday refused the protection : of the law to those who neglect such precautions. It alno appeared that the woman who goes marketing in a silk skirt with a flowing train, made for Derby day, has little standing in his court. On these points MrB. Lucy O'Don nell, 1010 Garfield Boulevard, lost her suit for dao'.gee agaimet John R. Thompson. Mrs. O'Donnoll's skirt, in an unhappy moment, caught on a nail on an orange box in Mr. Thomp son's store at 38 State street and a largo hole was torn in tho garment. She said tho gown had cost $45 and she wanted that amount of money fiom Mr. Thompson. "You were in a great hurry when you entered the store?" asked Adolph Raphael, Mr. Thompson's attorney. 'Of courso I was in a hurry. I had been to meet some friends at a depot and I wanted to do my marketing and get home. I rushed in and hastened to the rear to the meat counter. Sud denly I heard something tear. I was walking so fast I had to take two more steps before I could stop to in vestigate. Then I found my fine silk skirt torn to pieces." Mrs. O'Donnell prooceded to tell how the garment had been made to wear on Derby day and what its value was. "Was not that an expensive gown to go' marketing in?" ouggojtcd the attorney. "That doesn't make any difference," retorted the witness. "And did you hold the train up?" asked the court, taking a hand in the questioning. "No, I did not. If I had the tear would have been much worse." "Those orange boj *s were secuiely stowed under the counter," Justice Hurley said. "Tho fault was with Mrs. O'Donnell. She should have held up her skirt. Let women carry their skirts and not trail them over the floor and furnishings."?Chicago Tribune. OABTOZIXA^ Bean tho -^ 9 Wnd You HaYB ?lwa'fS Ntf* Clubbing Offer.
