JONES v: kVbat Bev. Sam. IP. * tlie I Atlanta . t half m y life I ran with the I id hau much to do with him '1 little to say against him, but ? litter l'art of uiy life I have been ! , him personally and officially, ^taruingn'ore and more of the -, erv day. I have yet muoh to r' 0f him and h*8 devious ways, l?! Diost men, I once thought the I wa> a monster with hoofs and evl <u;lrp-topped ears and spiked ffirhosc business it was to devour Jlaaod women and children. Kut latterly I have learned some ! ?! of the devil. He is a mean, ^mptible. infernal spirit, whose v f aim is to embody himself in a ,n or woman or child or a horse or a I nogs wou'tlet him gointothem. II' remember that when Christ per iled them to go into the hogs when cast the legion of devils out of the emoniae, the hogs broke for the sea DJ drowned themselves. A Georgia ?or back hog might take him in still. There is one thing about the devil -be never lets you know he is corn ue be never lets you know of his fesence: and when the devilment is one he is gone and all inquiry and -arch cannot find him. I heard a 41ow say the other day that the devil aveled "incog." He did not wire j a head that he was Ncoming; ho idn't order a brass band to meet him the depot and parade him over im; he never wanted humanity to now when he was coming; and if his esence was recognized in the town ; left immediately. Let's see how the devil plays his icks. Here is a good sister just oved into the community. She is a Kuan of intelligence and ehuroh ulities. The first Sabbath she at ads church, presents her letter and kindly commended by the pastor to e love and brotherhood of the lurch. She is soon a member of all e societies of the church, and very on she is running, or attempting to d, the societies and the pastor hiin If, and she runs the whole thing in e ground and breaks itoff. There it is the church is disrupted, the itornmst move, and the devil's to y all round. Aud when we come to ?k around aud say, "Who did all is?" somebody says, "The devil s been among the sheep." Some dyeksc asks, "Where is the devil?" ley reply, "He'sgone." I tell you, ieo the devil gets among the sisters tbe church he can kick up more ? devilment than anywhere this side bis own dominion. When the Sa lur cast seven devils out of Mary igdalene he did a big thing for her. course I was not personally an ointed with Mary Magdalene aqd n't know how seven devils can make roman do; but I think I have seen ne women with fourteen devils. The devil gets into neighbors some aes and gets them to talking about t another and slandering each other, d old friends become enemies and ids are inaugurated and the mis ief's to pay all round. And when s neighborhood surveys the wreck i ruin that something has caused tb one accord they all speak out and "Who did this?" But one au er is given: "The devil did it." Fhere is the devil?" "They all wer, "He's gone." The devil rer is ready for a settlement when iwant him. He don't propose to ne to judgment. He has been ad Iged once and came out so badly the is always gone when you want bring him to judgment, "he devil gets into a preacher some ies? and next to a woman he had her be in a preacher than anybody f- He makes a preacher jealous,j; I envious and narrow and bigoted, belittles the proachcr in the eyes the community; he makes the acher strut like a peacock and look s a mud hen. The preacher begins look around and, sees his power is er his influence over his members i*i that things aire not as they onoe r?. and he begins to ask, "Who did this?" The answer is, "The ? did it." Well, where is the '??" "He's gone." waetimes the devil gets in an edi ; and, by the way, he has got a tap card when he' gets an editor, taakes him a scavenger, a gather of scandals and slops and swills to trout upon a community through columns. He had rather h?ve ?ded meat than fresh meat. He e'8 in rot. And when ?? sees that influence is dwindling, he look* and and says: "What did *1J andthe answer is, 4 "The devil 1'l; ' and then he asks in vain ^fre i8 tho devil?"?but the w'sgone.

DEVIL. ?Jones Knows -A-bout Devil. Journal. robbed of happiness, he looks about and says, "Who did all this?" Echo answers, "The devil did it." He He asks, "Where is the devil?" "He's gone." The devil in a politician is the devil at home. He loves to get in a politi cian. He can laxy around and do nothing and yet see his work go on. Sometimes he gets into the Democrats and gets them to run off into pop-ism and free silver and so on; and when the party is tranded and national ex istence nearly blotted out they look around and say, "Who did all this?" "Why, the devil did it." The politi cian asks, "Where is the devil?" "He's gone over to see the Republi cans. He is - not with them for the present." Sometimes the devil gets in a nation and they get fussy and mean like Spain and will starve and murder a whole province until other nations must take it up; and when her navy is sunk and her people conquered and bankrupt and the nation ruined, they look about and say, "Who did all this?" "The devil's done it.' "Where is the devil?" "He's over in France and Germany and Austria try ing to get up another fight." Gentlemen, I believe there is a devil and all sorts of a devil. I be lieve in the devil in the deacon, in the preacher, in the politician and in the editor. I believe in the devil getting in his work upon nations and churches. I believe the devil goes dressed in silk and satin. I believe the devil goes in broadcloth; drives spanking teams, lives in fine houses, lives in huts. The devil's is rich and the devil's poor; the devil's sober and the devil's drunk; the devil's honest and the devil's dishonest. I' believe he is pretty and I believe he is ugly. He is just anything, gentlemen, to get in his work; and his work is to disrupt, to debauch andto damn. Oh, how he has gotten in his work in all this Christian land. Sometimes the devil will get in a book agent and make him send the funniest telegrams; and afterward when Congress declares it has been deceived and the church goes mourn ing over the deeds of her officials and the mischief's to pay, we look around and say, "Who did all this?" "Why, it was the devil." "Where is the devil?" "He's gone?" But he got in bis work all the same. The best thing we can do is to look out for the devil. He may be in the next man you meet or the next woman. He may be in your preacher. He is very likely in your congressman or legislator. If he ain't, perhaps he has just stepped out for a few min utes. Look out, gentlemen, when things don't go straight. Take no hand aocLhave no part or lot. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Be courteous to him and he will visit you daily. By the way, we have got into a good big war with Spain. They tell me it is costing a million and a half dollars every day. Wars are always bigger than we think they will be. We fel lows down South thought we would lick Y&bkco doodle in three months, but they fought us for four years and licked us at last. I don't believe Spain is going to lick us, but it is going to take us some time to lick them. $f com so they will soon have no navy, for if Watson crosses over and gets a lick at Camurn's fleet Spain ****1 bo utterly out of it so far as her ?.? y is concerned. But on the land they fight stubbornly, and T have no doubt that our forces have been worst ed outside of the entrenchments of Santiago. Of course it is only a question of time when we shall utterly route and conquer Spain-, but it is going to take many a man to do it. We will spend much money and lose many men. I reokon after our experience with the insurgents under Garcia we are not fighting so much now to help the in surgents. Gome one has truthfully -said they would rather hear a dinner bell than a bugle. They want to live to enjoy Cuba Libre, but they don't care to die on the battlefields; and they are the very fellows who ought never to have a Cuba Libre. - As time wears on it seems to be more apparent that we will take in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines under our wing and take care of them. I was not in favor of war, but am in favor of the CTuii?u Stales, and I am everlastingly in favor -of the extension of the Christiau civilization to every continent and island. ; Spain has shown herself utterly incapable of Christiau civilicatioo, and God him self may he behind the guns of Ameri ca; and if ?o woe be to Spain! It is sad to read of the dead and wounded of the brave Amerioan sol diers in Cuba. It is glorious to read how Dewey and Schley didn't leave a ship at. Manilla and off the coast of Cuba. What a-pity Sampson didn't word his message - go a9 to' give iSchley his proper place in that great victory! As it is, Sohley got the vic tory and Sampson hao got a black eye. i'oor Human nature! Jtlow frail it is. Selfishness is generally the dominant clement in man. If all men knew that selfishness was disintegrating, that it always defeated its own ends and ambitions, it would play a lesser part in motive and conduct. But it is not my purpose to write on war. I hope it will soou be over. By the way. they arc getting up all the surplus boys about Cartersville, and it is true largely all over the country. There is many a fellow going to the war because he is out of a job. But I reckon when they get in line of battle they will be as patriotic as Wheeler, or Shafter, or Sampson. I am too old to go to war. In my travels through the west and northwest I found the crops not near so good as they were a year ago. The constant rains have flooded the coun try; tens of thousands of acres of wheat have not been harvested, and a great deal of that whioh was harvested has beeu badly damaged. The corn looks small and sickly, and the weeds aie as high as the corn in many fields. I think the next estimate of the wheat crop will place it at not over 600,000, 000. But that is enough to do us and leave a large surplus. Very likely the price will not range beyond 65 and 70 cents, and I don't think it will get lower than that. Sam. P. Jones. No Southern "Manana." To a suggestion by the editor of the Manufacturers' Record of an under taking for the advancement of the South, a well-known gentleman of the South, largely interested as a capital ist and as a railroad man in the ener gies of his section, replied that there was no use taking any steps at present, hut that it should be delayed until the war was over. The state of mind dis played in that answer is one of the most discouraging elements in South ern development. If the Manufac turers' Record and all other influences for Southern progress had acted upon the prinoiple of a more convenient sea son, the wonderful strides made of manufactures and commerce during the last fifteen years would still be matters of the future. Back in the seventies the South was told that it could not manufacture cotton in com petition with other sections of the country, which was an old story ; then the idea of the South as an iron and steel manufacturer was derided in some quarters, and the fact is that nearly every accomplishment of the past decade had its Jeremiahs at its inception. In the panic of 1893 the cry of the halters was again heard, to be reiterated in the early days of the campaign of 1896. The Manufacturers' Record is no Cassandra. It is conduoted upon the principle that no time is better than the present for directing attention to the natural wealth of the South and encouraging the movements whereby the capital may be applied to it for the upbuilding of the manufacturing, rail road and commercial interests of that section. It believes that when the outlook is most gloomy then is the time for hopeful utterances, based upon the known qualities of the South and upon the conviction that all things come to him who strives. Acting upon this principle at the outbreak of the war against Spain, the Manufac turers' Record urged upon its constitu ency the maintenance of undertakings then in progress and the reaching out into new lines. It endeavored to show that there was no vital reason in the war for hesitancy about invest ments, and that the best time for pre paring to reap the benefits of a return of peace was during hostilities. In some quarters, particularly in the cot ton-mill industry, there has been a re markable disregard of the threats which timid minds discovered in the war, but elsewhere the apprehensions have had a decided effect upon the purses and the minds of men who are usually in the forefront of develop ment. It is not too late to urge upon these.the advantages of freeing them selves from unnecessary restraint. The plight in which Spain now finds itself is largely due to its policy of "manana." "To-morrow will do" is a fit motto for a declining power, and it is the explanation of its decline.' For the South, pulsing with energy and laden with riches yet to be devel oped, there should he no "manana." Now is its accepted time.?Manufac turers' Record. ?

Hon a Manier Ballet Feels In tbe Flesh. New Yukk, Ju?y 2<s.?The follow ing will give the reader acletr account of the effects of being wounded with the dreaded Mauser bullet. James Creelman and Edward Marshall were both wounded near Santiago, and what they say is giveu with a knowledge of what they discuss. BY JA MKS CKEKLMAN. When I was struek by the Mauser bullet, which smashed my arm and made a gap in my back, I felt as if I had received a blow with a shut fist. The sensation was no more and no less than tlifl* which might have come from a rough punch. It whirled me half round, but the bullet did not have weight enough to knock mc down. I neither felt the bullet at the point of entry, where the wound is as small as a gimlet hole, nor at the point of exit in the back, where there is a big gap 3} inches in diame ter. It was a very curious thing what little sensation came from the wound at first. The next moment I felt a numbness in my arms and a pain in my hand, and found my arm hanging loose, like an empty sleeve, the bone having been broken. I had a dead Spaniard pushed out of a hammock in the stone fort at El Caney and lay down in the hammock to rest. I bled a great deal. A curi ous thing about this wound, and all the more curious because I did not feel it at the time, is the fact that the tern bio velocity of the bullet actuary burnt the flesh black as it left the body. It left a ring of charred, black flesh. This circumstance was notified by Prof. Joseph Bryant, who cut away a fringe of black flesh from me yester day. The Mauser not only fractured my arm, but disintegrated the bone in a very peculiar way, creating innumera ble fissures all along the track which it made through my arm. This is one of the curious freaks of the Mauser fracture. There are two distinct sounds with the Mauser bullet. Sometimes you hear a sharp "ping." Then, when it gets very near, it sounds "z-z-z." In most cases these Mauser bullets pass through the wounded man's body. They certainly did not have to probe for the bullet in my case. This is a great advantage to a wounded man, and, on the whole, I believe th? Mau ser is the most humane of all bullets. UY EDWARD MARSHALL. I will endeavor to tell how it feels to be hit by a Mauser bullet, my own experience having been gained from one that struck away part of my back bone. When the Bough Riders ran into the Spaniards at La Quasina I first emptied my revolvor at the enemy. Then I began to look around. Sud denly I felt a blow in the back. It was not very hard or at all painful. It was as if somedody had given me a light punch. I fell down, and to my surprise I was unable to get up. I had stopped a Mauser bullet. The air was full of the sounds of these dreadful things and of rapid firing guns brought from the Spanish warships. The Bed Cross people came to me first and bandaged me. After that a surgeon examined me and told me that I was going to die in a few moments, as my wound was mortal. I believed him. At this stage I felt no pain. I simply lay in the long grass without any unpleasant sensa tion. I afterward found many men who had similar experiences. Later, when I began to regain sensa tion, I felt as if red-hot needles were being stuck into my spine all the way from the bottom of my back to my brain. This I have since found was due to splinters of bone sticking in the spinal cord. My observation . in the field and on the hospital ship Olivette, where were 274 of the wounded, incline me to the strong belief that the Mauser bullet is a most merciful implement of warfare, if any bullet can be said to be merci ful._ Sick headache, biliousness, constipa tion and ?11 liver and stomach troubles can bo quickly cured by using those fa mous little pills known as DeWitt's Lit tle Karly Risers Thev are pleasant to take and never gripe.

The Independent has given its read ers a symposium on "The Sunday Question," The contributors are rep resentative men in church and State, both Protestant aud Catholic. It is tho custom of that excellent paper to give a consensus of opinion on current questions, and the writers are usually men and women whose ability to speak is rccogui/.od. No subject has been discussed that we deem of greater sig uilicaucc aud importance than this. It is an honest, intelligent presenta tion of the value of the American Sab bath as a day of rest and worship. Wc are glad to append the letter of Cardinal, Gibbous on the subject : "The desecration of the Christian Sunday is a social danger against which it behooves us to set our face, and take timely precautions before it assumes proportions too formida ble to be easily eradicated. A close observer cannot fail to note tho dan gerous inroads that have been made on the Lord's day in our country within the last quarter of a cen tury. If these encroachments arc not checked in time the day may come when the religious quiet, now hap pily reigning in our well-oidcrcd cities, will be changed into noise and turbulence, when the sound of the church heir will be drowned by the echo of the hammer and the dray, when the Bible and the prayer-book will be supplanted by the newspaper and the magazine, when the votaries of the theatre and the drinking sa loon will outnumber the religious worshipers, and salutary thoughts of God, of eternity and of the soul will be'choked by the cares of busi ness and by the pleasures and dissi pations of the world. The Christian ?unday is not to be confounded with the Jewish Sabbath. It proscribes the golden mean between rigid Sabba tarianism or/ tho one hand and las indulgence on the other. The Lord's day to the Catholic heart is always n day of joy. The church desires us on that day to be cheerful without dissi pation; grave and religious without sadness and melancholy. She forbids, indeed, all unnecessary servile work on that day; but as 'the Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sab bath,' she allows such work wheneve! charity or necessity may demand it, And as it is a day consecrated not only to religion, but also to relaxa tion of mind and bady, she permits us to spend a portion of it in innocent recreation. In a word, the true con ception of the Lord's day is expressed in the wordB of the Psalmist: 'This is the day which the Lord hath made: let us be glad and rejoice therein."'? Methodist Review. A Wood Story. Bishop Wilmer, of Alabama, was t very straightforward man, with a fac ulty for saying good naturedly sharp things to, rather than about, people, and the Washington Post prints the following anecdote in this connection : Soon after the civil war, Bishop Wilmer went to a Northern city to ask aid for a Confederate orphans' home in which he was interested. There was a dinner in his honor, and after dinner the bishop was begg ed to tell a story. He replied that he hadn't a story. "But," he added, "I've got a conundrum. Why are the Southern Governors like Lazarus?" The guests, who were all Union men, suggested many answers. The South erners were like Lazarus because they were poor, because they ate the crumbs from the rich man's table, because? because of everything anybody could guess. "No," said the bishop, "you're all wrong. We're like Lazarus because" ?and he smiled blandly?"because we've been licked by dogs." A rear of laughter went round ai that, for the bishop's utter unrecon Btructedncss was always one of his charms. Everybody laughed but one man, who became indignant. "Bishop," he said, "if you think we're dogs, why have you come up here for our money?for the money ol dogs ?" The-bishopchuckled. "My friend," said he, "tho hair of the dog is good for the bite. That's why I have come." The editor of tho Evans City, Pa., Glob* writes: One Minute Cough Coro Is right ly named.

Thomas was pre siding elder of the Dahlonega district, on one occasion he preached from the text: "Godliness is profitable unto all thiiiKS," and had much to say con cerning cleanliness of house, head, hands and heart. A preacher who was present said, "Brother Thomas must have found a hair in his broad this morning." I do not know what rev elations the breakfast table made nor whether nocturnal marauders had dis turbed tired natu.c in her efforts to woo the needed presence of balmy sleep, but 1 do know the sermon blazed with real gospel light and power, that abides unto this day. The gospel is against all misplaced dirt. There are houses where it is poorly worth while to pray, until the scouring mop is used. Poorly worth while to read the bible until the old, unhealthy dust and germs of disease aro swept from under the bed. Poor ly worth while i - pray for a clean heart until two or three coats of dirt are washed off of the children'.; faces and clean raiment put on. If too poor to afford more than one dress to a child, put them to bed on wash day, for thorc is plenty of water in this "land of the free and home of the brave.'' Hcttct wear patched clothing than embarrass one's creditors, but leteveu the patch es experience the orthodox necessity of immersion. There is no excuse for filthiness. Preachers, who have traveled foi years, bave gone into log cabins, where the floor was clean, and, if the furni ture was scanty, it was neat and clean. They have found white houses where grease and dirt contended like Corbett and Fitzsimmons, for the predomi nance. Why either of them should want to predominate is a mystery to me. Perhaps it will be well to say no re cent occurrence prompts the writing of these lines, but an item from a let ter of John Wesley to the Irish Meth odists, in which he says: "If you do not keep cleaner homes I will never visit you again." Why not visit them anyhow? Sonic one has said: "John Wesley's 'Cleanliness is next to God liness,' has been sweeping away the duBt and cobwebs around the world." j? Will T.
