BILL ARP ^Vri> "Writes ol* the Atlanta C Sixty years ago there was some ex cuse for ignorance; we liad but few schools ia this Southern land and not a dozen newspapers in thc State. There were not half as many reading books in all our town a.-i I have now in my Mimi 1 library of -IUD volumes, in > ir schools wc ha?! a blue hack spell ing book, Smiley's arithmetic, Mur ray's grammar, Smith's geography and the English reader. To master these was considered a good old held educa tion. I have on my shelf a copy of that same old English reader. A-good lady sent it to mc not long ago, and I almost wept over its delightful pages, for there is no school book now published that lias so choice a varied selection of reading both in prose and poetry. I have a letter from an old gentleman in Florida asking where he will Hud a little poem that his mother taught him and some of which he has forgotten. "It begins," ho said, "Pity the sorrows of a poor old man." I do not know where he will lind it, except in the old Knglish reader. It was written in 17?>0 by Thomas Moss, and was quoted by Dr. Johnson and Goldsmith. Both loved tho pathetic, and nothing moro pathetic was ever written. Pity tho sorrows of a poor old mau Whose trembling limbs have born him to your door, Whoso days aro dwindled to the short est span; ? Ah! give relief and Heaven will bless your store. These tattered clothes my poverty be speak; These hoary locks proclaim my length encu j tars, And many a furrow in my grief-worn cheek Has been the channel to a flood of tears. Oh, take me to your hospitable home. Keen blows tho wind and piercing is the cold; .Short is my passage to tho friendly tomb, Fori nm poor and miserably old. These arc sonic of thc versos, and in another occurs the linc often quot ed: "A pampered menial drove nie from tho door." This copy of Murray's English read er was printed in London two years bc foro Queen \'ictoria was born. It was thc text hook in most of thc schools when I was a boy, and from it wo got our speeches and learned how to bow and gesture and give accent and em phasis. This book, with the teacher's aid, gave us an idea of elocution and how to read impressively, and ? wish it was in all our schools to-day. Wo have good scholars, but very few good readers, lt is rare to lind a preacher who can emphasize his text ou a chap ter or a hymn. Every college, and especially every theological seminary, should have a professorship of reading and speaking. I remember hearing an cloque it divine preach a sermon from the text, "My sin is over before mc," and such was his utterance of that la mentation of David aud such his pro found and solemn rendering of tho en during consequence of sin, liial all his hearers wcro deeply impressed. "My sin is ever before mo" still rings in our memories. I said that sixty years ago there was some excuse for ignorance, but nevertheless, that age aud those Schools produced many very notable men. Tho young people were cager for knowledge. A new book was a treasure in tho house, and there was mere time, more leisure, ami Solo mon says that "in lcasurc there is wis dom." But now tho books aro almost in thc way. They crowd us and surround us and "thc cry is still they come.'' Young people read au average of tw( or three a week, and forget the con tents iu a month. There arc maga zincs in every household, and thc} contain our best literature-instruc tive and entertaining; ' newspaper! flood the country by the millions. Th< New York World boasts that it pub lished 2-10 million copies last year Every County in our State has a Coun ty newspaper, and the editor of th< Carrollton paper says that childrer read a great deal more .han their fath ers did and keep up with wars auc politics and murders and suicides am everything. Thou what ia the matter? Bisho] Candler wrote ah excellent and in structive articlo recently on "Th pas?ing of great men." Ile neve writes anything that does not give u food for thought, and I am thankfu ?hat he has not passed. Yet thc da of great men has passed, not only i Georgia, but in all the South. Eic quenco in thc pulpit, the forum an the counoils of tho nation forty an fifty years agc was our prido and ou boast, when wo bad among our preach ors such noble and true mecas Georg S LETTER. ?jciiools und Papers. onst'ttut'ton. !

Nixson, Dr. Moulding, and Mu li lawyers and statesmen as For syth, Troup, thc two Cobbs, Jenkins, Tooms, Stephens, Johnson, Walter ? Colquitt and lien Hill. There are twenty names given, and many more ; might bc added, and it is a lamentable j truth that their equals do not exist in Georgia to-day. This decay of great men is apparent in every Southern State, and as for thc North, there is nothing there now but plutocracy who buy their way into public office and de fy trial or criticism. Tuc struggle for money is the curac of the age. It has smothered thc nobler aspirations of our nature. "(Jet money; get mon ey honestly if thou canst, but at all events get money," is now tho motto, j Thc common people want some, and the plutocrats want more. Thc mass cs of thc people arc on a strain. I am one of them, and I know how it ia, for I have been on a strain ever since thc war. It is buckle and tongue to keep in hailing distaucc of society. So many of our class "have a rich man's ways and a poor man's purse that wc have to hang on to thc ragged edge of gentility. There are so many things nowadays that we arc just obliged to have-things that did not exist in our antebellum days. Our boys must go to college to get smattering of hooks and a full text of athletics. Our girls must go to get polish and make college friends and receive visits and return visits after they graduate, and it takes money for clothes and money for rail road fare, and every now und then a girl gets married and chooses her col lege mates for her attendants, and that, takes more clothes and a wedding present, and so forth, and so, fifth and sixth, and so on. Oh, my country! When will this strain stop? There ought tobe a mis er in every family, or a rich old bach elor uncle who carried a big life insur ance, and would die just at the right time and leave a fortune to his impe cunious sisters or his nieces! Why, if 1 lind a good bank account to draw on, I could writo a moro cheerful let ter and take a hopeful view of things ami keep calm and serene; but os it is, 1 find myself lampooning those West Point cadets, and 1 want those ring leaders- Harry, and Dockcry, and Du val-handed down io posterity ns thc champion hazers, and their names put in a catalogue alongside of thc duke of Alva to illustrate human bru tality. Hut 1 didn't mean to say anything hard about the Tech boys who have been suspended. I ha?c great hope for that institution, and admiration for the manner in which the boys re ceived their discipline. Nobody thinks any less of thom, for there was noth ing mean or cruel in their thoughtless conduct, and every outside father sus tains Mr. Lyman Hall and the faculty. Of course their mothers are deeply aggrieved. They always are when their sous arc puuished; that is a na? tura! and beautiful trait in a mother's character. She clings to her boys, re gardless of whether they arc right or wrong.-- She is like a tigress when robbed of her whelps. I have receiv ed several letters from tho mothers of those boy3, and they defend them with earnest indignation. Ono of them conclude with, "Now, I am the , mother of one of those boys you wrote about, and if you wish to play Dioge nes, bring on your cane." But wo have made friends, for she is a lady and a mother, aud the poet says: "A mother is a mother still, Tho noblest thing alive." Hut I am not Diogenes, and it was , not thc mother, but thc father that he ' caned, and I have not received a linc j from any of them.

A tablet perpetuating thc memory i-f .lames (?hn, a ruler of South Caro lina under the Itoyal government, and ono of the moat remarkable men in the history of tli?H State, will be presented to the State bi' a citizen of Spartan burg. No doubt this tablet will be gladly received and placed in position in thc State capitol, where it will bc .seen by all people telling them of a man who did much for the infant State in its days of trouble and trial. The tablet presents tome precious history and the story connected with it is un ique and full of interest. It seems that tho donor of this pre cious part of history intended to keep the matter secret, aiming that the pub lic should not know of it until made public by the officials. John B. Cleve land, of this city, is going to present thc State of South Carolina with a tablet devoted to the memory of Gov ernor Janies Glen, Governor of the province by royal appointment for 17 years. Governor Glen was a great man and his publio acts, among them the treaties with the Indians, were of thc highest importance to tho strug gling people of that day and the flour ishing State of the present. Mr. Cleveland having come into pos session of this copper plate from Gov ernor (?len's collin, and realizing that it concerned a primo man among the rulers of the State, decided to donate it, through the Governor, to the peo ple of thc State, to bc kept in a pub.ie place perpetually. He bought tho plate, established its authenticity, contracted for thc making ot an ex planatory tablet secured several pa pers of historic interest an*7, import ance, at a considerable expense of money, labor and time-and now he has iroffcrcd it to tho people of his State Ile has before doue much for the history of South Carolina and this is a signal stroke. Thc tablet has been finished by Stevens ?Sc McKic, marble contractors, the work being done by Geo. Geddes. It is a slab of dark blue marble, and the famous copper plate is to be placed in the center. It is all in good taste and is neat and durable Under the royal dispensation Jame? Glen was appointed Governor on Dec. 22, 1738. Ho arrived iu the province Dec. 19, 1743. James Glen was born at Linlithgow, Scotland, in 1701. He iuherited from his father two estates, Bonnington and Longcroft. Ile belonged to a set of young Scotchmen who held political olliocs in London and in America. He himself was inspector of Seignories in Scotland, and retained that office foi several years after his appointment tc thc governorship of South Carolina, lie was described as a man of nensid erable knowledge, courteous and polite exceedingly fond of military parade and ostentation. Among Governor Glen's most nota hie acts was his treaty at Kort Prince George, now in Pickens County, on Nov. 24, 1753, with "Corone the Raven of Toxawa," aud "many of the head men and most of tho beloved men ol thc Nation." This treaty gave uearlj all the up country to the paleface. The inscription on thc marble tablcl is as follows: JAMES GLEN, ESQ. GOVERNOR OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1738-1755. "He found them in ashes and lefi them fair, fortified and flourishing.' ''James Glen, Esq., of Longcroft, late Governor of South Carolina, ObiitlSth July, 1777. Aetat, 76." This Copper Plate was found severa years ugo in the grave of Governoi Glen, at Linlithgow, Scotland; a Platt with the sanio inscription is upon tht inner leaden Casket containing hil remains. Presented to thc State of Soutl Carolina by John B. Cleveland, 1901 The following statenieut will shov thc history of the copper plate, whicl is about 8x10 inches aud beautifully iuscribtd in antique lettering: About twenty-live years ago, Simoi K.

No Cure, N Pay. Prioo 25 cents. Ground. lt is un interesting eoijcideucc that j thc first call upon General Fitzhugh ? Lee, since he assumed command of thc department of the Missouri, should be for tho suppression of an Indian uprising on the Indian Territory bor der, exactly the same strip of country where, about forty years ago, the gen eral engaged in his Grst active battle as an officer in the United States army says a Washington correspondent of Thc Richmond Times. General Lee was fahot by Indians and iicverely woui ded during thc en gagement. In 1H5S General Lee was a second lieutenant of cavalry and under Major Van Porn, who, in after years, becauiG a general in the Confederate army, took part in the Commanche war in Northern Texas and tho western part of the Indian Territory. Fifty years ago campaigning in the territory was a different affair. Hen rietta, now at a junction of two rail roads, did not exist. The nearest out post of civilization was Fort Sill and Fort Gibson, to the northeast. This territory, now in the department of Missouri, was then in the department Texas. Under Major Van Dorn the cavalry started out to chastise the Commanches, who had been commit ing depredations in that territory. They marched over thc present site of Henrietta, crossed tho Red river, and pitched their tents on the south sido of the Wichita mountains, wost of Fort Sill. Here they met the Indians, and in thc fight which followed killed over fifty of them. In that engagement General Lee was wounded with an arrow, which passed between thc ribs on his right side and penetrated his lungs. He was carried 200 miles on a mule litter, and a gadfly nearly caused his death. The general entertains a lively remem brance of that trip over the plains. A mule litter was one of the insti tutions of the old army, and was used as auxiliary to thc ambulance. It possessed thc merit of being easily made and was fairly effective. To make it,* two poles were out about six teen feet long. Between thc poles, placed three or four feet apart, slats were nailed as in a ladder, leaving four feet at each end of thc poles bare. Auger holes were boared in thc top of thc poles and saplings were bent in the form of wagsn bows, reaching from one pole to the other. Over this tent canvas was thrown to afford the wounded man shelter. On top of the slats was placed a mattress com posed of blankets. At the end of the poles, where the slate were left off, straps were attached which were desi gned to be suspended across thc baok of a mule. The man was placed upon the litter with his feet forward and his head below the canvass, directly under the head of thc rear mule. When General Lee was being carried from the fight in one of these litters the lu r je-flies were bad, and one of them had persistently bothered thc surgeon's horse. Finally it lighted on thc rear litter-mule and the doctor struck at it with his whip. The mule jumped backward, whilo thc forward mule walked on. The result was that tho head of the litter fell to tho ground This scared the forward mule and it ran away, dragging the litter several hundred yards across the prarie, un & I til the troopers could capturo it. In ternal hemorrhage was induced by the fall, and when thc surgeon got toGen eral Lee he thought his chance for re covery slim. But he got well and as sound as a dollar. It was right over tho same ground that he made hts last campaign on the soil of tho United States, as an officer in the United States army.-Atlanta Journal. Rheumatism-Catarrh in the Blood.

C., history that is not yet recorded in biographies andcnciyclopedias. It is, indeed, cafe to say that the history of the war has not yet been written. General Johnson told mc that he and Geo. ll. Thomas were chums in tho army. Thomas was a Virginian of thc Virginians, aud when Jefferson Davis gave Johnson his commission in the army of the Confederacy, Thomas pleaded for a similar appointment. .'Tell him," said Mr. Davis to John son, 'than thero is no place for him just now. Tell him he must wait. As soou as there is a place he shall have it." Thomas's whole soul be came embittered, and when President Lincoln offered him a billet in the Union army rt? eagerly accepted it and became one of the most implacable enemies of the South. Johnson re garded him as one of the greatest sol diers of thc age, and his own career was saddened by the rootless hatred manifested by Thomas toward the South. Gen. John A. Logan, like George Thomas, ?as a soldier of fortune at the beginning of the war, willing to fight on either side for the mere fun of the thing. At tho first sound of tho battle roll he hastened to Ken tucky to organize a regiment to fight for tho Confederacy, and had raised two or three companies when Presi dent Lincoln o flore J him a commission in the United States army. In accept ing this he lined up on the Union side, and as "Black Jack" became as strong a hater of the South as Gen. Thomas. This is a matter of history, though not of record. Pneumonia Can be Prevented. This disease always results from a cold or an attack of the grip and may be prevented by the timely use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. That remedy was extensively used during the epidemics of La Grippe of the past few years, and not a single ease has ever been reported that did not re cover or that resulted in pneumonia, which shows it to be a certain preven tive of that dangerous disease. Cham berlain's Cough Remedy has gained a world wide reputation for its cures of colds and grip.

C., Arnir, 12. 1000. Mn J T. H ARIUS-Dear Sir : I truly feel no grateful for the benefits derived from Harris Lithia Water that, were I able, I would like to erect a monument to cern mem?rate Ita virtues and curative powers. For over thirty y oars I have been a fearful sufferer from what is known aa Cy stitis or Catarrh or the bladder and enlargement of the prostrate gland, caused from exposure and hard horseback rid inc during the war and since, too. My bladder wai constantly in a dreadful state of irritation, causing a constant desire to urinate, par ticularly during tbe night. My urine was of a very dark color, and tblok with ma cos r~id deposite ; sometimes as dark as any strong lye or black copper and of a very disagreeable odor. I consulted my physicians. Some of them, the most prominent in the Sooth, and I believe they did all they oould ; but I never experienced (he slightest benefit from their advice. Old remedies and new remedies were used. Every koown remedy I believe was taken by me and, besides, various mineral wa ters, but to no effect, and for years I struggled along ; and I truly believe that for over thirty years I did not enjoy ten consecutive days free from palo or annoyauca from thin dreadful disease of my bladder, until finally about two or three yean ago I let down and had to RIVG up my profession (civil engineering.) I had about con cluded to "throw up the sponge" and struggle no longer, when friends urged me to try Harris Lithia Springs, which I finally concluded tn dr?, moro by way of obliging interested friends than for any great good that I expected from the waterB. I cam? to the 8prlngs, reaching them about the middle of Jun", tired, sick and with littlo faith, but determined to give the waters a fair and an honest trial, whioh I did.
