Wednesday, December 21. 1898 TWO SIGNIFICANT UTTERANCES. Two of the most prominent men in ths United States have Ween quoted in tbe dailv papers <ir.r:?>g the la.-t few dive- ami ihe utterances of eaeh aiej fall of significance. We refer to j President McJunley's Atlanta speech, aod Col. Wm. J. Bryan's interview on the expansion craze that has taken possession bf a large element of our people. The appearance of Mr. McKinlev, a Republican Presideat, himself a soldier on the Union side, in the South, to celebrate a peace over which both: North aud South rejoice, withont any reference to what the President said, would be an unusual incidem, and especially so when one of the {honored guests at the celebration?Joe Wheeler ?was a gallant Confederate General, and equally as gallant in the fight which bonght the peace now celebrated. But the surrounding circumstances are not by auy means the most significant feature of the Atlanta celebration. , It is what the President said in his address to the General Assembly of Georgia. . "Every soldier'* grave made daring onr unfortunate civii war is a tribute to American valor. And while, when those graves were made, we differed widely abont the fatnre of this government, the differences were long ago settled by the arbitrament ot arms? and the time has now come in the evolution of sentiment ai:d fteling, u-i- erthe providcnce of Gjd, when, in the spirit of fraternity we shonld share with you in the care of the graves of the Conieder&te soldiers". "The cordial feeling now happily " ** *?2 Cnnth ex:suag oecweeu iuo xwibu auu wum prompts this gracious act, and, if it needed farther justification, it is found in the gallant loyalty to the Ut>ion and to the Sag so conspicuously shown in the jear just passed by the sons and grandsons of these heroic dead." "What a glorious future awaits us, if unitedly, wisely and bravely we face the new problem dow pressing upon us, determined to solve them for right and humanity." Such was the sentiment the President brought to us of the South, and we hope that it will be accepted as sincere. When a Northern man meets a Southern audience with such a sentiment, warm hearted as ouf people are, it i3 not surprising tkat we read that the audience made the building ring with the Southern yell. Mr. McKihley's sentiment is tastefully expressed. It was "an unfortunate civil war," its heroes were "Confederates," not rebels; thoir gravss are not only tributes to Southern, but "American valor." Surely just at present we could not reasonably ask. for much greater concession. The other important utterance is from a Democrat, and it is significant on account of bis prominence in his party. He is opposed to the policy of expansion, and his influence in shaping'the policy of ihe party makes what he says on the subject very important. Mr. Bryan puts the situation well: "I may be in error, but, in my judgment, onr nation is in greater danger just now than Cuba. Our people defended Cuba against foreign arms; now they must defend themselves and their country against a foreign idea? the colonial idea of European nations. Heretofore greed has perverted the tjovernment and us^d i:s instrumentalities for private gain, but now the very foundation principles of onr Government are assailed." We are glad that Mr. Bryan will defend us against this new enemy. Continuing he says: "The imperialistic ide i3 directly antagonistic to the idea and ideals which have been cherished by the American people since signing the Declaration of Independence," because *e hold to the ^doctrine "that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed." li We may believe that governments come up from the people, ^ or we may believe thit governments come down to the ^eople from those who possess the h?c.7ie8t cannons and the largest ships, bat we caunot advocate both doctrines." Tbis nation can not endnre half Republic and half colony, half free and haif vassal." ? EXPANSION TREATY. Tho Treaty of Paris marks a new departure in oar national policy, and it is snch an inovation tbat the whole theory of our government may be changed by it. It may now become a serious question whether indeed our end shall be a Republic or an Empire. At no tim* in tha history of the country was there greater need for far seeing and able statesmen in Congres*. i/UriL'g l UC UCAL ICY JCfti?} Vi bap* for many years, we believe tie arrest strnggrl* between the great political parties will be en the questions growing out of the Spanish-American war. Tbe Republicans will naturally *5 a general ruie ?lign themselves along the liae of expansion and imperialism. The cardinal doctrines of the party logically lead them as an eas-- step to thi? position. The argument that "protection to iqfant in dustries" naturally aud logically leads to paternalism in all of its forms is now familiar to every leader who is well informed on the fundamental diaTe?euces between the Republican ?ud Democratic parties. Paternalism as naturally and logically leads to the new doctrines of expansion i?nd imperialism a# "protection u?r protection^ sake" bas led to <?GVit u.ueijla) bounties in all shapes, and forms. Why should it not delight a Republican's heart, bettering as he does in a strong centralized government ' at Washington, to contemplate the Government at Washington ruling aud controlling the Philippine Islands thousands of miles away, separa'ed from the seat ef power by a great expanse of water? Then too he tees iii ii opporiunity to rejoice that the ideal of centralization is near at hand, because be sees the prospects of a large standing army, the natural prodoci of centralization and a neccsity well uuder such a policy, to say nothing of a powerful navy. But the Democrat is more conservative. Be is slow to invite a change. He believes in every neighborh >ud controlling and governing it* own affairs just as far as possible, and he suspect* that every gain of power at Washington is at the expense of his liberty and right in his own neighborhood and State. He believes in the citizen hoping himself aud that the Government ought not to do anything for the citizen teat he can do for himself. Hia faith being in Iccal selfgovernment he is naturailv opposed Hn oil fni-me nf centralization aud Da lernalism, ?nd for these reasons 'aa&ODg -otters we shall not be surprised to find most Democrats opposed to the new theories of imperialism. The av^ra&e j ustice-loving citizen will doubt the right of tbii^ Government to lake the Pbillipines, except by the right that comes through force and might? The relinquishment of all severeignty by Spain over Cuba was tbe object of the war fought to be accomplished, and no one ouNide of a few ignorant Spaniards in Spain p.vftr donbted 'hat this would be ac compilished whei> this powerful conntry undertook the job. It was professedly war for human:ty" and nearly the whole civilizod world applauded us when we declared that barbarity at our very doors must be stepped ftud Cuba is, and by right ought to be free and indepeudent. But now i 'toxi :?ted with oar victory, we like the triomphant political party have jrone into a jrame of grabbing all of the spoils in sight. Wny should we want the Phillipines? Will they not c*st us more than tbey will ever be worth to us? Will the spoliation in which we are Antroorpri nnv ns for the trouble? tr?j ? WALKEK ERNEST CROSBY, Another! 'tis a sad word to the heart, That one by one has lost is s hold on life. From all it loved or rallied forced to part. Oar hopes have been t*rnsd ioto mourning. W. Ernert Crosby, who was sick in Harriabarg, Penn., and whose condition bag been written up several time3 in The ^evvs and Herald, died in that city on Sncday morning, December lltb, from the effects of typhoid fever, in the 27th year of his age. He was confined to his room about four months, and while he was critically ill hope was entertained that he would eventually recover. His father, W. W. Crosby, who had been with him during the greater part of his illness, left him a few days before his d.atb, full of hope that he would soon be a^le to return to his home. But ' aUs for human hopes. The pointed arrow of disease had done irs work and nothing was left but for the grim monster Death to claim its own, and never did h*i claim a nobler or more promising subject from the human lamwy. tie was a member of C??ol Branch Baptist Char ch, a Christian ever mindful of tka dutk3 he owed to God and his church, a *oa confiding, dutiful and living to his parents, a 1 rot her gentle, affecti- nata and kind, h T**nd Hevoted and true, a citizen pa:r.-'iic ai.d alive to the interest of his State and country, a companion genial and entertaining, and as a peace-maker his influence always hid its effect in the home circle, in the community and in the fchool rooja. His life was a life of peace, be loved it and practiced it from childhood till bis bright young life was cut o3 and wafted to (hat land where neacs and jey and rest is promised for evermore. Dead to the world alive to me, Though monibsand years may pass; In a lone boar, bis sigh to me, Comes lit** the bam of some wild bee, And then bis form and face I see, As when I saw him la^t The decvated was the second son of Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Crosbj, who about two years ago lost a younger ton, David. Thus we might say they are doubly bereaved. Ernest's remains were shipped to hi< parents and interred in the Cool Branch Baptist Church csmetery, the funeral services being conducted by Rev. J. n. Yarborough. Our hearts go ont to these doubly bereaved parents vith deepest sympathy, and we commend them to the Heavenly Father who aione can give them the consolation they so much need. Tbey who die in Christ are bless'd? Ours be, then, no thought of grieving. Sweetly with their trod they rest, All their toi's and troubles leaving; So be oars the faith that saveth, Hope that every trial braveth, Lore that to the eod endnretb, And through Christ the crown secureth.

Many of us will soon be rich, and some have mcney left them and will gith it "in the neck," and some will make five to one the coming year. So much for the Gipsies coming. Crackling corn bread is the principal diet of the quarry pesple at this writing. See how we do live. The mad dog scare has about ended at the quarry. It caused many of the residents to put eight and ten-feet fences around their residences. Mr. I.
