THE CONFEDE] What a Yankee I?: Charleston a: Yonkers West Pride is not always a vice. Even the atmosphere of this Southland warm by day and cool by night-the redolent perfume of her pines and flowers, the springtime fruits, and the very songs of these Southern birds are to-day permeated with it. And, after all, is not pride one root of that civic virtue we call patriotism ? The United Confederate Veterans of 1,300 Southern camps blew the ! bugle that attracted 25,000 or so I strangers, May 11-12, to Charleston, S. C., that still boasts that she was "The Cradle of Secession." Of re unions this was the ninth. Let nie tell you of a half dozen manifestations of pride seen with a Northern pastor's eyes : First. Pride of Family.-More than the pride in the Southern City by the Sea, more than the welcome by Mayor and civic .committees, is the pride in Southern family. These Charleston ? families, whether Huguenot, Cavalier, j Scotch, or what not, have within them j the soul of a genuine American hospi- ? tality never seen anywhere else than i in our Southland. The "welcome" j printed on bunding and banner was i more deeply felt in every Charleston ' heart and home. I have been to many great gatherings, but from the capture of the city by the Confederates to its evacuation never have I seen so little "desire to make.1 ' Entertainment has been, for the most part, free, and cor diality everywhere supreme. Neither j wealth nor magnificence, good paint j nor fresh walls are essential to royal welcomes. The roses everywhere bloomed in welcome hues. Second. Pride in State.-From Maryland to Texas, and Missouri to Florida, the Southern States have been generously vying with one another, waving palmetto, the red, white and red, Southern battle-flags and State banners. Upon every breast*, have been badges galore. Every Charleston office, store, and nearly all the homes) have worn Southern colors for Reunion week, and the Southern gray has been the popular suit-color of th* hour. The word {t*ebe?" is tabooed except in the indescribable "rebel yell." The real "yell" lias not been heard, but some of the outbursts ot enthusiasm for hero, song, OT story must have been close approaches to it. The Empire State of New York-, with all its riches of 'glory, could never be stirred in its cosmopolitan population, from shouting infant tb "piping old man eloquent, from women in teens jto women zn eighties, as Carolina's fes tive week has moved the pulses. Whether "Maryland, My Maryland,'' ox "My Old Kentucky Home," and always "Dixie," even* Northern man . - became enthusiastic for "our State," ao each, in turn, came to the front. Third. Pride in'jtVriotism.-There has been a healthful national spirit growing in the "South in these later years, and one readily discernable. The Stars -and Stripes have floated here and there, even at a Confederate Beunion, {hough many of the older generation of Sontherners^-^especially women and among the Vets-still have the inborn hatred to the national colors; as to them they mean "Federal" or "Yankee," and the memory of losses of slaves, carpet-bag rule, etc. Ti will take time, more than a-genera tion, and more than a Spanish war, or even more than the presence'cf one of Dewey's cruisers-the 'Raleigh-fly: -g these colors in the'harbor of Sumter and Moultrie, to make a Southerner, especially of the Carolinian type, enthuse for "Old Glory" ^ he does for hi3 local flag. The wise words and conciliatory 'spirit'of "President 'Mc Kinley ?s to "the care of the graves of the patriotic dead of the South" do much, as this 1 Convention has wit nessed, to eradicate sectional bitter ness. "What ' is 'your ' feeling as to the civil War?" 'I said to the head of an old-time "Southern family. i;We were right in statesmanship, but, as * brothers, we'should hate waited and won success for our principies in leg islative halls, and not attempted to win our victory on the battlefield." ? Fourth. Pride in Memory of the Past.-The opening day of the ?'?fie usion was the anniversary of the death of Ston?wall "Jackson-the Southern Memorial Day-and tbe heroic exploits of every "Southerner from the days of Charleston in 1860 to the Keunion of 1899 have been in order. Most notably" ierson Davis. Kobert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson, of the recent past, with the living generals. Wade Hampton, Gordon and Wheeler, have been the heroes of these three days. 'The new Auditorium was so large and had such poor acoustic ef fects that the best speakers could no: :.e heard back of the centre. The spectacular effect, however, kept up the enthusiasm, and the nest day the stirring and eloquent passages were read :s the paper?. The best stories of war experiences were not told-on the public platform. Historic places. KATE REUNION. reacher Thought of nd the South. minster Tidings fireworks and excursions kept the ; crowds amused. The great procession ! of the gray, on Wednesday afternoon, j many of them one-armed, others hob bling along with one leg, some in the rough, worn, treasured gray of over thirty years ago, marching under rid dled and battered flags, behind the old gun "Secesh," that fired the first volley for secession in 1861-was pa thetic, and many a tear fell as well as cheer rose. "We think this may be the last of all our Reunions," was often said before this Charleston af j fair, bat, in matter of fact j Louisville i was chosen for 1900, with no diminu j tion of zeal or enthusiasm. Fifth. Pride in Heroes.-To be brave in danger, to give all for the South, to suffer, to fight, to die in battle, hospital, or prison-or to be ready to-were the strains that in spired the orators and the poets of the occasion. When little fighting Joe Wheeler was introduced as the hero of two wars, and the well-known story ! was told of how he, forgetting his I environment, shouted at San Juan hill: "The Yankees are on the run," grey-haired men cheered till they cried, exhausted; and the Southern women became themselves diamonds of radiance in their devotion to the hero of the hoar. Old Wade Hamp ton was, however, the hero of t.he Re union of 1899, and the loss, within a month, of his South Carolina home by Sre made the hearts of all tender toward the bravest Carolinian of them all. Sixth. Pride in Women.-Many felt that the Reunion of 1899 might Tell pass for a sort of Inter-State display of the handsome women of the South. Instead of one for a State, many camps this year sent sponsors and maids of honor with new, bright silk banners. Miss Winnie Davis, "the Daughter of the Confederacy," was the heroine of the memorial ser vice^ and Miss Nannie Randolph Hath, of Washington, was chief sponsor. On what other occasion could Gen. Gordon have literally "embraced'' Mrs. Stonewall Jackson on the stage, "for them all," without offending propri eties? After expressing appreciation of President McKinley's attitude, the Veterans voted that "the care of the final resting places is a sacred trust, dear to tho hearts of Southern women, and we believe that we can safely let it there remain." GEO. R. CUTTING, Summerville, S. C., May 12,1899. Bad management keeps more people in poor circumstances than any other one cause. Tc? be successful one must look ahead and plan ahead so that when a favorable opportunity presents itself he is ready to take advantage of it. A little forethought will also save much expense and valuable time. A prudent and careful mau will keep a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy in the house, the shiftless fellow will wait until necessity compels it and ?hen ruin'his best horse going for a doctor and have a big doctor bill to pay, besides; one pays out 25 cents, the other is out a hundred dollars and then wonders why his neighbor is getting richer while he is getting poorer.

Seien Sanctified Sisters. They say that the best hotel in Texas is to be found at Belton, a town un the Santa Fe road, and is kept by "seven sanctified sisters," as the proprietors are properly called. Several years ago, says the Chicago Record, a woman in that place and her husband quar reled over the best way of expounding the scriptures to a Sunday school class, and were so stubborn that they separated and were finally divorced. The family controversjT was taken up by the town, which was soon distinctly divided between the adherents of the husband and the wife. The result was a large crop of divorces, and seven husbandless women, including the origiual cause of the commotion, join ed together and rented the town hotel. One of them did the cooking, another was parlor maid, and the third made up the beds, and so they divided the work among them, and ran the estab lishment on the co-operative plan. They would not employ a mau about the place, although the most of the patrons were men, of course. People say that women travelers preferred to stop elsewhere, and that would be a woman's way. One of the seven "sanctified sisters" used to drive a big carry-all down to the railway sta tion three or four times a day to meet trains, but she let the regular transfer company handle the luggage. The hotel prospered from the begin ning, and-there was no reason why it should not, for everything was neat and homelike and the cooking was the best in Texas, which is not saying much, perhaps, but is a good reason why it was appreciated. Every Sun day it was crowded. The drummers used to swarm there from all the northern-central parts of the State, and every passenger on the Santa Fe trains was an advertisement agent. The "sanctified sisters" made money, as they deserved to do; they enlarged their establishment and started a laundry in connection with it, where the drummers left their soiled clothes to be done up while they were out during the week. Then the "sisters" bought a hotel at "Waco and started a laundry there, with equal success, and now they are talking of starting one in New York. Don't Want a Whaugdoodle. A New York man who caters to the entertainment of interior towns has received this letter from a committee in Connecticut : "We are going to tear up the earth in our town on the fourth. We are ali in it. The churches began to do the oyster racket last winter, and have quite a sum for our fund. The mis sionary offerings have also been turn ed over to us, tc use as we see fit. Everything in town is a benefit ; our merchants give 1, 2,3, 5 and 10 cents, according to the article, on all they sell, and that has grown to he con siderable. "Some of the best society women in the town have agreed to . do without certain extras for the summer, and have contributed the amount to oui fund. "The street car company has offered to give 1 cent of every fare collected 'the last week before the fourth, so loti of people are going to ride who nevei rode before. "What we want you to do is to loo!? around for an orator for the occasion We have everything else.

"But we are goiog'to have a nev Fourth of July-one right up-to-date starting in with Santiago and stretch ing over to the Philippines. We an going to bring out what St. John saw or what he said he saw, on the islam of Patmos-something new. ''Don't send us any talker who can' fill the bill, or who will play th< whangdoodle, or we will take him ou and shcllroad him if you do. "Here'sthe chance of his life for ? new orator." This committee backs up its propo sition by offering to pay the price i the right article can bc found, and th manager is now looking up what i wanted. W. M.

D., June !).-The re turn to this town ol: a man and woman divorced live years ago, but who are again husband and wife, adds the last chapter to a romantic story of love and war. Five years ago Henry Ballantyne and wife of this place agreed to sepa rate. They had been married not quite twelve months. Ballantyne was a prosperous grain buyer, and owned several good farms near Highmore. These he deeded to his wife. The few hundred dollars he was able to scrape together in cash he put into his own pocket, and left to begin life afresh in a new location. As soon as he had gone his wife sued for a divorce. There was no defence and a decree was granted. The land given her by her husband she sold to advantage, and by shrewd reinvest ments accumulated a comfortable for tune. The past winter she spent in South ern California. On her way home a month ago she stopped temporarily in San Francisco. On the street there one day she met an emaciated figure in army blue, hobbling about with the aid of a heavy cane, in vain search for employment, lt was Ballantyne, dis charged from the United States volun teer service and invalided homejfrom the Philippines after a fever. Ballantyne was about to pass his former wife without speaking to her, but she, when she saw his wasted form and miserable condition, spoke to him, and took him to her hotel, where com fortable quarters, good food, and the services of competent physicians soon produced a marked improvement in his health. Last week the [two were re married, and have just returned to Highmore together. ! What is Kodol Dyspepsia Cure?

Call for nice Calendar Will Wear Divided Skirts. Ten women of Syracuse, in western Kansas, have decided to renounce cus tom and fashion and will in future, during the stormy season, wear di I vided skirts. The women who live on thc plains of western Kansas have long hoped that some community would declare against long skirts du ring the season when the wind sweeps over that region at a velocity of thir ty-five miles an hour. It is certain that many other communities will in augurate this new custom. Editor Henry Black, of Syracuse, says the women of that town will hereafter appear in divided skirts during the windstorm season, and that those who have not the new style skirt will not hesitate to wear the .trousers of their husbands and brothers, without regard to the comments and jeers of those who foolishly follow custom and fash ion.-FJxcItangc. - During the last 20 years the American Bible Society has put into circulation in Mexico 600,370 Bibles, Testaments and portions of the Bible. ?sus - DEALERS IN - Fine Buggies, Phaetons, Surreys, Harness, Lap Robes Whips, and All kinds Buggy Fixtures.
