BILL ART Costly I funerals.--A.] Ex tr? i vacant Atlanta C Solomon says: "A living ?log is bolter than a dead lion." That may bc KO in a worldly sense, but the dead lion costs the wost money.

If a member from California or Oregon dies the cost ?d' transportation for the remains ami es cort runs up into the thousands. Ab, my country! Where thc carcass is tue eagles will bc gathered together. That is the reason I reckon why tho eagle is our national emblem, for the treasury is tim carcass. 1 was ruminating about this grand parade over thc burial of public men . -the expense of it-thc glitter and galore and show of it, for at thc last it is a junket, a frolic that members of Congress like and they scheme to get on tho grand excursion. Booker Washington says that thc negro is never happier than when going to a funeral. White folks set them the example, especially in the towDS and cities. Thc truth is that a common man who barely supports his family and is struggling along to educate his children can't alFord to dio. for thc funeral expenses take all be has left and leaves tho faintly penniless. 1'ocr Tom Brumby had no wife or children, but for years liad been supi>orting a poor old mother and educating an or phan niece. Ile bad when he died $700 in bank and it took that-thc last dollar-to bury him. 1 imagine that if ho could have spoken in his last moments bc would have said: "Clive it to mother. Oh! give it to my mother. A $100 casket will do mc no good." The very last letter that lin wrote ber from Manila said: "If I do not live to get back, there are $700 in bank for you." Well, maybe Congress will grant the old lady a pension. Maybe so, but I reckon she will die before she gets it, and as for that prize money I sec that the government ?B fighting it, and that means its non-payment. Dewey's victory is an old song now. I wonder if they would bury him at public expense. It seeuiB to me that tho cost of fu nerals should be proportioned to the condition of tho family. As for me, I feel like a metal casket that would keep out the water and tho worms and a plain marble tombstone would be enough. No monument, and but a line of epitaph. Some grass and flow ers that my unohained spirit would like to see when it hovers over tho plaoe where its prisonhouso was bur ied. Neglected graves are a sign of inhumanity. Costly ones a sign of vanity. But monuments to heroes or to great and noble men are always pro per. Not that they aro of any conse quence to tho dead, but they point a moral to thc living. Let us build that monument to the modest and gal lant Brumby and place it on the capi tol grounds where it can bo seen and where it will speak in silence to the people as they pass. Let tho tribute bc one of love, honor and admiration from the old and the young. Our lit tle grand child who was his niece and laved him will open her little iron "bank when it gets full and send thc $5 to thc committee Every little school girl and boy should have a dime or a "nickel in that monument, for besides his courage and patriotism he was ?.loving and kind to his aged mother. He deserves a monument for that. Several times of late I have read the talks of Carnegie and Rockefeller to .the young men in a Bible olase and their ideas about giving and helping do not please me. Of course, every body honors them for their largo bounties to colleges and libraries, but they say that charities to the poor do no lasting good and that 90 per * cent, of it is wasted, but that rioh men should help poor young men who aro 1 struggling to climb up in the world. 1 My observation is thal those strug gling young men will get up anyhow just like Carnegie and Rockefeller, I ' Inti rather see a hundred poor people relieved from distress than & dozen 'S LEITER. L*p AV.rite.s AJHMU the JG o?' I >eople. (institution. I young men helped un thc way to for ' tune an?! success. Theic is too much prejudice against tho poor. Most of them ar?- women and children who an; helpless and can't pct a start. There is II o v irk for them and so they haye to beg ir starve. Thc oilier day I drop] '1 a quarter in the tin cup of a pour ld woman who was crouched on th." sidewalk ol' Marietta street, and her look of thankfulness paid nie. \ The winter wind was I.lowing and the ? paving stones were cold, but she sal j there and watched fur charity. She ? was old and pale and pitiful and the . skin stuck close to ln-r bony hands. I ero- ed the street and stood mid watched for many minutes and never saw anybody else pul any money in her cup. She may he a fraud an impostor, but I um sun; that sh?! i> I not impoverishing the millionaires or j anybody else. My idea is that a good j Samaritan would stop a.id investigate thal woman's condition and lift lier j up from tho cold sidewalk and see lief : to a warm, :omfnrtablchome, and buy her a pair of blankets and some coal and speak a few kind words and com fort to her children if shu has any. City people get hardened to such things ami pass by and say why docs she not go to the poorhouse. Where is the poorhouse and who will take her there, and would not she he separated from those she loves? I know aman whose charities are more to bc commended than all the munificent gifts of thc millionaires. Ile is not rich nor old, nor young, nor childless, but he makes more than a good living and is always helping some poor young man or wo man or orphan children. Helping them not only with money, but with hope and good cheer, liftiug them up out of despair and planting them on u good foundation. Ile has befriended hundreds in this quiet, unostentatious way and it is not blazoned to tho world nor heralded in thc press dispatches. What he has done is now his greatest comfort in his declining years, for he I has without exception the love and gratitude and loyalty of them all. ! There is no system to his charities, for every ease stands for itself. I knew him on one occasion to send a cheek to a poor young girl with which to purchase her wedding apparel, the dearest thing on earth to a bride, for all her earnings had been expended in support of a widowed mother and sonic small children. We!!, that was thoughtful and gctierous, but who else would have done it? I wish that I was rich so that T could do as they say thc good Prince Rupert did-uo around in disguise and lind out who were needy and deserving and . help them in secret. I would take uote of the poor girls who helped their mothers and tho young men who wrote kind, loving letters home and I would set them up and make them happy. Ves, I would like that sort of fun,? wouldent you? It would beat libraries and colleges all to pieces. But I like Carnegie apd Rockefeller, too, though they don't see through my spectacles, lt is hard for a millionaire to realize that the money is not his-that he ia only a trustee with tho privilege of using it for the good of his fellow creatures. It has been said by phil osophers that uo man ever earned a million honestly-that if ho found a gold mino and it paid him a thousand dollars a day he was entitled only to good living out of it, and thc rest was God's and was put there for his fellow men. Dr. Hedley told a good story about a Persian who bought a piece of land for a small som and when plowing it found a rich vei? of gold. Ho care fully saved all that carno in sight and took it to thc man from whom he bought the land, saying that he did not buy the gold-he bought only the land. Thc mau refused to reccivo it and their dispute over it got so warm they went before thc cadi to havo it decided. The cadi knew them very well and knew that ono of them had a son just grown ano tho other had a pretty daughter a little younger, and they were good, industrious children. So ho had them brought before him and married them and gave them thc gold. Whether true or not, this is a pretty story for the children. Every gM I know will say, "I wish it was BILL A P.P. An Editor's Life Saved by Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. During tho early part of Ootober, 1896, I contracted a bad cold which ? settled on my lungs and was neglected until I feared that consumption had appeared in an inoipient state. I was constantly coughing and trying to ex Eel something which I oould not. I ecamo alarmed and after giving the local doctor a trial bought a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and the result was immediate improvement, and after I had used three bottles my lungs were restored to their healthy state.-B. S. Edwards, publisher of The Review, Wyant, 111. For sale by Hill-Orr Drug Co. > . ? ... . Tili; DRINK QUESTION. i'.<?t,,r.< I ti 11'/1 if/i'it iy i' I'lyasc allow ii-? space in your mi<. -11 i ?te< '.ned paper to say a few wo ni s io regard lo thc perplexing liquor i|iiestiun. A few years agu a law was passed abolishing thc individual barrooms and establish ing the Statt; dispensary. Men would have fought for thc establishment of the dispensary, but now hundreds of these same men are very much dissat isfied with the dispensary system and would give anything to establish something better. Now, I only state this because it is thc truth and to show how utterly im possible it is for men to be satisfied with anything that gives so little sat isfaction and comfort as thc ''world's eurse " - liquor. Men may work and wriggle around and preach and teach, and change one liquor institution for another, thinking to better condition of things from now till they die, and they will still be dissatisfied. Every body knows thal whiskey docs not satisfy. Even those who drink it are obliged i<i admit that the more they drink the mor<! they want. It i-< only by beginning to drink that men's ap petites are given t ? ? liquor. One drink calls fur another. Ami so ono institution that dispenses whiskey to men of the perverted appetite when they want it is no better than an other doing the very same thing, and will give no more satisfaction. Now, we don't want to be under stood as merely upholding a political faction, but as promulgating the eter nal truth of the eternal (?od, because in the very nature of things it is ab solutely right, lt is bard to find a mau that will tell . ou plainly that it is right to drink whiskey, but tbore are thousands of them who do not hes itate to say that it is wrong, but still continue to drink. They seem power less to resist so long as the stuff is where they can get so easily. (?od's word say*: "Wine is a mock er; strong drink is raging, and whoso ever is deceived thereby is not wise." If individuals who are deceived by strong drink are not wise, neither isa I State nor a nation which is deceived ( thereby. Men who are not wisc are foolish, and so is a nation or a State. In for getting right ono forgets (?od, for (?od is right, and the Word tells us that a nation that forgets (?od shall be "turn ed ?tito bell." It is self-evident that the use of whiskey is not right. It is not a food, (at least, it is not a food that builds the system of perfect maubood,) but is detrimental to health aud good morals. Even if it was a food, men are not very economic in buying it in that form, because it is so cxpeusive. And it can't bc of any medicinal val ue, because it is vitally poisonous to life in any form. Very little of it ia assimilated, therefore the already overworked organs of excretion and respiration are more heavily taxed in carrying thc poisonous matters from thc system, and in their failure to do so tho blood is poisoned and conse quently the person is diseased. We are only stating the absolute truth o? the case. Experiments for many years prove these things to be so. The State, in selling liquor to men, sells that which causes discaso and everv evil contained in thc catalogue oi crime. There is nothing too mean foi a drunk man to do. After being be reft of sense and reasou, (a thing that liquor accomplishes), the man is left CDtirely to the leading of the beastly, satanic nature. Something that would not only over throw individuals but even nations bj the use of it, is a thing that wo should certainly not countenance, but should guard against it as against any othei deadly enemy. This, whiskey has done, and no oue can deny it. But it cannot be said that the use of it evei established a nation. Let me quote a few words from t speech of a prominent lawyer of Ne\* York, which was made in behalf ol temperance: "Intemperance cuts dowr youth in its vigor, manhood in iti strength, and age in its weakness. It breaks the father's heart, bereaves th.< doting mother, extinguishes natura affection, crazes conjugal love, bloti out filial attachments, blights parent al hope, and brings down mourning agc in sorrow to the grave. It pro duees weakness, uot strength; sick ness, not health; death, not life, I makes wivos widows, children orphans and fathers fiends, and al} of thes paupers aud beggars. It feeds rhou matism, nurses gout, welcomes cpi domic, invites cholera, imparts pesti lenee, and embraces consumption. I covers the land, this fair and beauti ful world, with idleness, misery an crime. It filia our jails, supplies ou alms-houses and crowds our asylume [lt is the life blood of the gambler, th stronghold of the burglar, the prop o the highwayman and the support c the midnight incendiary. It countc nances tho liar, respects the thief, et teems the bold blasphemer. It vic lates obligations, loves frauds an honors infamy. It incites the fatht to butchor his helpless offspring; th husband to slay his wife; the child t grind tho suicidal axe to take the ii noeent blood. It burns up men, coi sumos women, detests lifo, ourses Oo and despises heaven. Again, it nm - perjury, defiles thc jury bos an<J stains the judiciary. It degrades the citizen, debases thc legislator, dishon or.-- thc statesman, disarms the pa triot, it brings shame, not honor; misery, not happiness; terror, not safety; despair, not hope. It poisons the sweetness of home, kills peace, ruins morals, blights confidence, slays reputation, wipes out all honor, then curses the world, and laughs at its ruin." What horrors arc here depicted! And yet it does all of this. There is no one to deny it. And yet South Carolina, our beloved State, is guilty and responsible for dealing out to men this life-poisoning, soul-destroying ar ticle. Come, readers, come, friends, and let's all set up right and goodness in our beautiful land. Let not our government give legality to tho sale of an article that runs mau crazy, that robs him of his happiness in this Ufe, and cheats him out ol' an eternal home in heaven. li Eternal vigilance. in the ??rice of I Uti rt i/.

I thought that the Israelites kept their womon in the background; but if they did thc Bible, which is their history, doesn't. Husband-Humph! The Isra?lites did well by. keeping their women in the background. That's where women should be. W--But still tho Bible says that H-Oh, I know there are a fow mentioned in the Bible-there was Jezebel, she was a woman. W-Yes, and there was Ahab; he was a man. And there was H-It's no use talking, Mary. The Bible is a history of men. Women are mentioned only incidentally, as they had influence on the actions of men. The book says very little about women compared with what it does about men. W-(musingly)-You may be right, after all, John, now when I come to think about it. There ?s something, at any rate, it says about men that it does not say about women. H-(smilingly)-I thought you would come to your senses, Mary. What is it that the book says about men that it does not say about women? W-(placidly)-It says "All men are liars." Then thc husband rose up and put on his hat and went out to seo what kind of a night it was. - On seeing a notice in the win dow of a country shop that everything was sold by tho yard, an Irishman entered. "Do you sell milk?" said he. "Yes," said the shopman. "Then give me a yard/' said Pat. "Ali right," said the shopman. And, dipping his finger in a milk can at his side, he drew it a yard in length on the counter. Looking np trium phantly at Pat, he asked: "Do you want anything oleo to-day, sir?" "No," said Pat; "but just rowl it up in a bit o' paper, and I'll take it horns wid me*" - Twelve pounds is the weight of the new automatic m&ohine gnn under experiment in the United States army.

As archaeologists continue to un cover longburied cities, monuments, and tomba iu ftgypt, and students of pieturewriting aud hieroglyphs be come more familiar with what these uucovered treasures contain of history and philosophy, we get a more and more exalted idea of that wondrous people in the time of Moses. Even then they were "men of great curios ity, anxious to discover the hidden secrets of the earth, fond of literary and scientific methods, admirable in th? ir delineations of nature, skilled surveyors, with a very fair idea of map making, and economical and me thodical administrators of domestic and foreigu affairs," as Sir J. W. Dawson tells us. It bas long been understood that their knowledge of the heavenly bodies'ond of astronomy was far in advance of that of other lauds many centuries after their day of power; even before the timo of Moses they had ascertained thc move ments of the moon and planets, estab lished thc signs of thc-zodiac, discrim inated the poles and the equator, as certained the laws of eclipse and the procession of thc equinoxes, and, in fact, bad well worked out tho astronom ical problems possible to thc eye, unaided by the telescope. Their ar chitectural skill, the temples aud thc mighty pyramids speak, for; in metal lurgy, knife-hardened copper aud cer tain qualities*bf glass (lost arts to us) prove their ability; the wonderfully fine and durable cloths round their mummies tell of their weavers' arts; aud the skill with which they manag ed the waters of the erratic aud now almost unmanageable Nile, so that a mighty population was fed and their granerics filled, under the manage ment of Joseph, during the seven years of plenty, from which the na-* tions round about were fed, tell of a degree of agricultural knowledge far beyond that found, even to-day, in many civilized lands. Rich in historic records, made un der government control during the times recorded, with a poetic and im aginative literature in abundance, it is easy to understand that their uni versities, even in those far away days of "mystery teacher?," had their chairs of astronomy, geography, min ing, history, theology, languages, and thc higher technical branches. Yes, three thousand years before the lie formation, in nearly all material thiDga Egypt was quite as far advanced as was Europe in the time of Luther; and in that day she seems to have but needed the application of the rules of life, individual and uational, after words given us in the sermon on tho mount, to have held her own supre macy as long as those rules should bo obeyed by her. May her lesson bo taken to heart in our day and land! Forward. - "If you keep on as you have begun, Mable," complained the young husband, running his eye over thc ex pense coluniu, "we shall never be able to lay up anything for a rainy day."

It has been wittily said of the martyrs that they were people who were cannon aded while they lived and were canon ized when tiley were dead.
