Fort Madison, January 19.-Editors Courier: I see the little aptitude of Newry, who calls himself H. a. Bogga, is still champing his bits.' In his last arti cle be bas gone over the State and county and over tho United States, up and down the Hudson, iu Now York, and alopg the Rhine, lu France, juat to tell tho people who Juke Cook is, what bo is and where he lives, but tho people know mo bett- r than bo d ies. Ho speaks of the space that has boen devoted to my pen in Tho Courior and then writes a communica tion for tho same paper as long as tho Declaration of Indepeudenco, filling up about ouo-third of a pago of tho paper, aud then closes by saying ''Yours with Charity." I suppose tho editorB think thia a peculiar kind of charity. Mr. Bogga, if you want to know whe ther my teuauts aro in debt, or whether tboy havo any corn, bogs, cattle or horsos-I will say that they havo plenty oorn iu their cribs, hogs in thoir pens and tho cattle and mules aro fat. As to thoir debts: I Rec them selliug corn lot cash, aud suppose by that that their debts are not pushiug them. Mr. Boggs seems very auxious for us to know thnt tho people go to tho cotton mills of thoir owu freo will. Ile made mention of this in his first article nod again in his lust. In his Hist letter he gets up something like this: "I will say, without fear of successful contradiction, that no mill mnn has ever gono out in tho country and compelled any ono to como in and work for him. They come of their own free will," etc. What must wo think of a man who will adduce such an idea HS that? Hero wo havo a great school teaoher, ono of Uncle Sam's post masters, boasiing of having dono noth ing that was simply imposai bid* for any man to do. Who ever heard of freo peo ple being compelled to do a tiling? (Jo out in Hie country among tho farmers and make a . roposition that looks like intimidation, and you just as well stick your head in a hornet's nest. The dovil himself, that great dragon wo read aluin I, dans not undertake to compel us to submit to bim. If so, wo would rebel against him at once, ami probably servo tho Lord just for spit e. Ho can oatoh us mauj' as ho wants witli less trouble; ho can caleb them on set hooks, baited with different kinds of temptations. If ho wants tho common class of peoplo ho baits willi dispensary and blind tiger booze; if ho wants gentlemen ho baitB with gnmbling saloons and fallen women ; if bo wants cotton mill combinations and ti lists he baits with cotton and money. But, thank God, ho can't ca'.ch old .lake Cook with any of tho foregoing baits. No, Mr. Buggs, you ?lid not cc mp "1 any ono, because it was an impossibility, but you have only to got tho combina tion together and bear down tho juice of cotton, so the farmer can't live, and he is obliged to go somewhere to support his family. This is the method by which you got the farmers to work in your mills. Let the price of cotton con tinue as it is for a fow years and you will seo where tho farm labor goes. It will return to tho farm like pigs to a slop trough. I was requested to write something in regard to tho cotton crop, and in our first article we wer? drawn a little off tho lino by our sentiments, and wo hap pened to strike a very soro place, but we can't help it now, ard, Mr. Boggs, if the cap fits too tight you aro not obliged to wear it. We aro ready to admit, as we havo done boforo, that there aro some good men-interested in tho c> tton millBof our stair. Wo also admit that cotton mills are a good tiling to build up a country. They not only furnish a mark it for our products, but employment for our labor, and I am as much in favor of cotton mills as Mr. Boggs or any othor man; provided they will toto fair with tho t'annri s. Supposo your cotton mill men abandon their combinations and trusts and lot SIMM.ly and demand govern and control tho prico of each and every farm product; then wo will bo satisfied. But when wo seo them build a new cotton mill and encourage tho farmers to tako stock in it we get to thinking. They subscribo from $100 to $2,000 each, and thon it is managed so as not to mnko anything as long as tho farmers have an interest in it. But just as soon as ibo farmer can bo discouraged, so as to got his stock at half prico, tho big fish swal low tho little ones, and the mill begins to pay from 20 to 40 per cunt dividends. Then tho promoters havo mado their jack-got half the farmers' money by thoir dishonest methods, and they cnn build a lot of fino houses and Improve ments of all kinds. Mr. Boggs, do you oxpect tho farmers to bo satisfied under snell conditions as these? When a largo crop of cotton is being made wo RCO tito combination get together, bear down tho prico of cotton to about half its value, and buy in tho crop. Hy this method tlioy got half tho farmers' labor for nothing. They only have to repeat this for a few years and they havo ail tho money they need to build the fino houses Mr. Boggs speaks of, iucreaso tho capac ity of their mills, employ tho farmers' children, work them like slaves, and bonst of giving them three squaro meals per day. But whoso monoy is paying for all this? lt is money that justly bolongs to the farmers-the fathors of tho slav ing children. Their honest living has boen taken from thom by dishonest methods. I suppose Mr. Boggs would call this charity, but can wo expect the farmers to bo satisfied with such condi tions? Again, wo havo a cotton seed oil mill trttBt. Agents aro placed in ench vicinity to buy Becd. Tho trust then rr' ?ea ar rangements witli othors in tho samo locality not to buy seed. Thus tho tniRt brings tho price of seed down to 00 cents per hundred pounds, about half the value of thom. After tho seed are ont of the farmers' hands, they nt onco raise the price 100 por cent and charge us tho raised prico for meal and hulls. Can wo expect tho farmer to bo satisfied with that? Again, wo soo the great oil king, Rockefeller, raise tho prico on oil one oent on each gallon, and mako a million dollars in one day. Ho then makes a big donation to somebody that doesn't need it, and they call that charity. But what kind of oharity is lt? Mr. Boggs speaks of meeting mo at Mr. Frioks's houso some months back. I very well remember on one occasion of walking ont to Mr. Frlcke's and meeting J % roan by the nemo of BORK*, lt seems i h;?? he had been above our place on the Tugaloo, looking after some water power for the Courtenay Manufacturing Co, I suppose I was io his company about 80 miuutes and during that time he had built a rook di? m across the Tuga loo river, near Capt. Deatou's, at the Bult Sluice, 00 fest bb?k and 800 feet thick at tb 3 bare and 50 feet at the top, whioh cost him eometbiug like half a million dollars. He also built, four big cotton milla-three at Tocooa and' ono at Fort Madison, and wheu I left {at the expiration of HO minutes) he waa run ning all four mills by electricity from Bull Sluice, twelve mlle? above here, aud sblppiug his mill products to China by the train load, and he was about to declare war with Russia to make her opon the ports of Mauohuria for his spe cial benefit. Of courso everybody knows the quality of this work and how it was done, but a man that oan do all this in thirty minutes is certainly a hustler. ' Mr. Bogga says: "What a pity it was that Mr. Cook did not live when Thomas Jefferson and others were writing the Constitution of the Uuited States, so he muid have advised them how and what to write." Now, Messrs. Editors, it does not appear that Mr. Beggs wa8 thinking much about Thomas Jefferson, the great author of Democratic principles, when he was accepting, aud is now holding the office of a third-class postmaster under a negro-loving Republican administration. Mr. Bogga has been trying to tell the people who Jake Cook is. Now we have a fine ploture of B. S. Boggs, a forerun uer of the cotton mill millennium, who imagines that lie has a monopoly on the contents of the kuowledge box, just to tell some Democrat something about Thom us Jefferson. Holy Jesus! What shall wo hear next? He commands me, with tho authority of a king, to "stand up," but I cau't stand any longer. Let us all pray. Yours, etc , J. A. Cook.

Oordon, whose death ooourred last week at Miami, Fla., waa one of the South's greatest soldiers and statesmen, lils death closed a very active and honorable life. Ills publio and military life covered a long period of years, and ia partially as follows: In 1862 <Jiodon, as colonel, led hie men into the famous battle of the Soven Pines, during wbioh two thirds of bis oommand were either killod or wounded. When Oen. Rodes was wounded he re linquished bia brigade to Gordon. ' The battles before Riohmoud and at Malvern Hill followed, and tho gallantry of Gor don's brigade waB oonapiouous in each. During Lee's march into Maryland Gor don was the first to oross the Potoraao and for bis coolness, bravery and skill was highly complimented by Gone. Rodes and Hill. He also achieved groat dis tinction at Sharpesburg, Va., whero his regiment ocoupied the salient position iu tho Confederate line. He was wounded flvo times during the engagement, and but for the heroio attentions of his wife would havo died. In speaking of this battle Gen. Hill oallod Gordon tho Chevalier Byard of the army, a cbaraotor given the la mented Kearney ou the Federal side. Upon recovering Gordon was made a brigadier general and invested with tho command of the Georgia brigado. A month later ho waa in command at Marye's Hill, in front of Fredorioksburg, whore he captured tho hoighta by a bril liant charge. In 1864 ho won his richest laurols on the stormy linos of the Rapidan. Tho Con federate troops had been obliged to re treat after a long engagement. Gordon saw tho condition of affairs and, sud denly turning his mon, ho charged upon the Fedoral troops, broke thoi<- lino nud captured the ontiro rogimont. Immediately after mitering York, Pa., bo met a largo body of excited women and made thom as gallant a speeoh as was over spokou by a conqueror, con cluding with tho assurauco: "I pledge you that uot ono private dwelling will be burned or robbed. So well do I know these mon, I can safoly promise the head of any one of them who insults a lady." lu 18(17 Gen. Gordon was tho Demo cratic candidate for Governor of Georgia. His party olaitned his election by a large majority, but Inti opponont, Rufus B. Bul lock, wits declared elected. Ho was a member of the National Democratic Convontiou of 1808 from Georgia, and a delegate at largo to the convention of 1872. He was olooted to the United States Senato in that year, and took his seat in March following, succeeding Joshua Hill, Republican. His noblo, untiring and successful ef forts in behalf of South Carolina during tho great campaign of 1870 and tho mo incut nous mouths that followed can never bo forgotten there. In that tre mendous crisis, quitting his homo and laying aside all other duties, Gen. Gor don went to Columbia, aud remained there, working witli Hampton and their leaders until the Palmetto State was re deemed. Ho was re-elected United States Sona tor in 1870, but resigned his seat in 1880. In 1880 he was elected Governor of Georgia. Since his retirement from political activity ho hao devoted much of his time in lecturing, presenting to tho North, as woll as to the South, his lecture upon the "Last Days of tho Confederacy " Since tho organization of tho United Confederate Veterans he has held tho po sition of it commander-in-chief, and his frequent re-elections to that position havo testified to tho warmth of affection in which he has boon hold in the South. Only a few months ago his most enter taining and instructive book of reminis cences of tho War for Southern Inde pendence was published. 11 lias rocolvcd very favorable no'.icos from critics in all sections of the ' 'ni.m. Gen. Gordon was a i-peaker of great eloquenco and was physically and mentally distingue. Of splendid physique, intellectual fore head and a strikingly handsome face, only slightly marred by a scar on one cheek, caused by a wound received in battle, ho would have been selected from among a thousand of his fellows as hoad and shoulders taller th.m all the rest.

"He hasn't exactly hitohed bia wagon to a atar, but he is . t oggling with all hie might to get near enough to ono so that he oan. I'don't know but be will suc ceed, but I doubt it, for though he's a nice fellow, he ian't remarkably brilliant." "Don't you remember," answered Aunt Margaret, "that Lowell says it isn't failure, but low aim that ia crime? And I think it was Gold smith who said : ?People seldom improve when they have no model but themselves to copy after.' Perhaps we are all too prone to aim low. Certain it is no one ever attains any great eminence without strenuous effort. Great truths are dearly bought, great viotorics are never gained without hard fighting." "And yet, Aunt Margaret, think of all those saintly men and women who left the world behind, and gave themselves to prayer and meditation," HUH! Ruth. "What great temptations could they have had away from even the sight of sin and ovil ?" "The tempter came to them in some guise, I have no doubt," replied Aunt Margaret. "1 do not believe we can ever escape him aa long aa we are in the world. And indeed we must needs meet temptation to prove oun 'IVCH, and show what ia in our heart. "There ia a flower in South Amerioa whioh is visible only when the wind blows strongly ; when the air in still, nothing hut the leaves and stem show. Would not our virtue be like that flower if we were never called upon to faoetemptation ? But you must remember that there are manifold forma of temptation, aud also manifold ways of meeting them. 'You kaint keep a wioked thought from enterin' yur mind, but y ur needn't set it a oheer' to quote an old mountain preacher. "I remember reading of a farmer who fell aaleep, as he sat under a tree for his nooning. When he awoke, he found a rattlesnake coiled round bis wrist. For an instant be was terror-stricken, then he caught his corn cutter, which lay by his side, and with one sharp Btroke out off its head just as ho was about to strike his fangs into him. "So the beBt way, and indeed, tho only safe way, if we have allowed evil of any sort an entrance into our hearts, is to force it out as quickly aB possible. And we shall do well to keep Paul's injunction in mind, .Whatsoever things are pure, whatso ever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report, think on these things.' 'An a man thinketh in his heart, so is be,' you know. Think only pure, noble thoughts, and you will be pure and noble. You cannot be otherwise."-Kato S. Gates. * * . Pressing Forward. A race is never won until tho goal is reached, and a life-work should oease only with tho ending of this life. In neither is there any place for standing still. Thorwaldsen, the great sculptor, whose Lion of Lu zerne stands as one of the high-water marks of modern art, was asked in his old age what ho considered his beat work. "My next," was the un faltering answer. That life contains no place for resting was the belief of a great poet, when he wrote : "The low man seeks a little thing to do, Sees it and does it; The high man, with a great thing to pursue, Dies ero ho knows it." CJ.A. BTO X*.I. Bean the T9 Kind You Have Always Bought Alas! Wade Hampton ls Dead. Tho News and Courier of yesterday says : The Augusta Chronicle c.ul believe that there "are not 10,000 people in South Carolina willing to give $1 eaoh for a monument to Wade Hampton. ' The Anderson Daily Mail declares that "there aro twice 10,000 persons in South Caro lina who are ready to give $1 or more for tho monument, but tho trouble has been that the committees appointed for the purposo have never done anything. The people havo just waited for the com mittees to ask for the money. If the committees will doa little canvassing-it won't take long-thoy oan easily raise tho monoy. It ought not to be necessary, howover, for ai committees to have been appointed to -Secure such subscriptions. The simple notico that $10,000 was nooded to mako the appropriation of I $20,000 authorized by the last Legislature j for tho building of a monumont to Hampton available should have beon sufficient.

Darby, Wal halla; Seneoa Pharmacy. Surviving Lieutenant Generate The paasiug awuy of General Long Htreet, followed so abruptly by the death of General Gordon, bsa aroused considerable diaouaeion aa to tte number of remaining officers of high rank who served in the troublous days of the '00s. Though the number of those who illustrated Southern Valoron sanguin ary fields during thia greatest of mod ern dramas is gradually and irrecover ably dwindling and the ranke of the heroic survivors growing pathetically thinner aa the grizzled veterans drop out, leaving gaps that oan never be oloeed ic obedience to any earthly command, there atill remain many who luminously exemplified the patriotism of those regrettable timea that witnessed such sweeping carnage and fell destruction. ! Of the Lieutenant Generala of Ute Confederacy four remain-Stephen D. Lee, of Mississippi J who is now 70 years of age ; Simon . Bolivar Buckner, of Kentucky, now 4tn hie 80lb year ; A. P. Stewart, of Chat tanooga, who ia 82, and Joe Wheeler, who is 67. There are a number of j living Major Generals, ranging be tween the venerable ages of General Hoke, who ia 66, to General Fron eh, now in Iii? 85th y oar. The list com piled in 1000 showed the following to be then liviug who held the rank of Major General at the olose of the war: William B. Bate, Tennessee; M. C. Butler, South Carolina ; John H.Forney, Alabama; S.G. French, Florida ; Thotnaa J. Churchill, Ar kansas; Robert F. Hoke, North Carolina ; E. M. Law, Florida ; G. W. Gustua Lee, Virginia ; L. L. Lo max, Waahington, D. C. ; Fitchngh Lee, Virginia ; Matt W. Ransom, North Carolina, and F. T. Rosser, of Virginia. Sinoe then thia li?t baa been reduoed. The appointments of both General Wheeler and General Gordon to the position of Lieutenant General were made during the last few weeks of the war, General Gordon being the last Confederate officer to receive thia distinction. The formal confir mation of these appointments by the Confederate Senate waa never ac complished. Both men, however, have since the war been universally accorded the dignity of the rank to whioh they had been raised and their occupancy .of this position has always been aa aeoure and generally recognized aa though they had re ceived the inevitable indorsement of the Senate, bound in red tape and adorned with impressive sealing wax. So far as oan be ascertainnd, there are eighty-three Confederate Briga diers still able to answer the roll oall at reunions, Generals Maney, Jackson and Speed having surrendered to the grim reaper during the paat four years. Lieutenant General Wade Hampton, of knightly memory, ia also among the distinguished heroes of the Lost Cause who have recently gone to the bivonao on the other aide. Though forty years of change and progress roll between this happy day and the grim surrender at Appomat tox, and though the South has ac cepted long since that historic ver dict, she yet cherishes iu fondest memory the brave deeds of her eons who then defended her integrity and many of whom have since shed daz zling luster upon the arma of the republic. Though the peaoe bas come for whioh Lee prayed and Grant so earnestly desired, the South cnn and does, with perfeot loyalty and noble patriotism, do honor to tho soldiers of Amerioa who then argued with grape shot and canister the proper interpretation of a national instrument. All honor to the surviving Confed erate soldiers. The nation has no more devoted and solf-saorifioing de fenders than they.-Atlanta Consti tution.

Drigga was not taken to the jail direotly. He does not lose his citizen ship by the oonviotion, but oannot hold ellice again in the Federal Gov ernment. In pronouncing sentence Judge Thomas said : "A man of bonorabia feeling, although he has erred, would abhor the retention of what caine to him illegally, and I believe that such will be your attitude. Yon will find that the measure of rectitude in your past life will join with the private and oivio virtues that you may achieve and maintain in the future and that in the end you will be judged by your whole oareer and not alone by this intervening fault and failure/' RYDALE'S TONIC A REAL CURE FOR It has recently been discovered that the germs that produce Malaria, breed and multiply in the intestines and from there spread throughout the system by means of the blood. This fact ex plains why Malaria is hard to cure by the old method of treatment. Quinine, Iron, etc., stimulate the nerves and build up the blood, but do not destroy the germs that cause tho disease. Rydale's Tonic has a specific effect upon the intestines and bowels, freeing them from all disease -breeding mi crobes. It also kills the germs that infest the veins and arteries. It drives from the blood all poisonous matter and makes it rich and healthy. RYDALE'S TONIC is a blood builder, a nerve restorer, and a Malaria destroyer. Try lt, it'will not disap point you.
