THE MANNING TIMES. Maninig, s. c. WEDNESDAY, APRIL I, 189!. BILL ARP Has Something to Say About the Two Hundred New Doctors Who are Turned Loose on the Country. Over 200 aew doctors turned loose upon the country-200 from Atlanta alone and a big lot from Augusta be sides. I went down on Monday to see ou boy graduate. His mother went, too, for she believes he is a natural born doctor and can cure any body of anything whether he has got it or not. When be comes home she will get sick just for him to have a patient. Old Uncle Sam was com plaining, and she told him to wait until the doctor came. She has con fidence in his technical words, all mixed up with Latin and Greek and other foreign languages. And then, there is his diploma, this is in Latin, it was presented by Col. Hammond in a Latin speech. I suppose this dead language is used as a symbol of the doctor's work. Col. Hammond spoke in a grave tone of voice. He -said that the prophet Jeremiah ex _claimed, "Is there no balm of Gillead -is there no physician there?" If he had lived in our day and witness ed the scene before us, he would not have asked that question concerning Atlanta. Here are eighty-six just made from one college. And he ad vised them all to emulate St. Luke whom Paul called the beloved physi cian. Colonel Hammond knows a power of Scripture, but he did not mention King Asa, "who was diseas ed in his feet and his disease was ex ceeding great, yet he sought not the Lord but sought physicians and he slept with his fathers." Nor did he mention that "certain woman that had an issue of blood for twelve years, and had suffered many things of many physicians and had spent all that she had and was nothing better," but rather grew worse. Col. Ham mond is an optimist and looks on the bright side and encouraged the young doctors. He looked at the beautiful bouquets that were sent upon the stage, and said: "Young gentlemen, these flowers are very beautiful and very appropriate for the occasion, but they are before you. Let your zeal, your study, your skill, so inspire your professional life that you can look back and see the flowers behind you. Flowers of praise and confi dence from your patients and your patrons." He then presented the doctors with 'their sheepskins and called each one by his Latin name, and some of them were so peculiar and unique they brought down the house, for Joh was Johannes, and William was Gu lielmus, and Ralph Radulphus. It reminded me of a lawsuit in a justice's conrt that happened a long time ago when Mark Blanford who recently re - signed from the bench of the Supreme' court, was a devilish young lawyer. A doctor sued a man for his medical bill of $15, and the man employed Mark to fight the case, for he said the doctor was no account and had dis srged him. Tbe doctor swore to his account and M1ark called for his license or his diploma, and made the point that no doctor had the right to practice without one, and he read the law to the 'squire. And so the old 'squire told the doctor he would have to show his sheepskin. He said he had one at home and asked for leave to go after it. It was six miles to town and he rode in a hurry, and re turned all in a sweat of perspiration. With an air of triumph he handed it Sover to Mark, and said: "Now what have you got to say ?" M1ark unroll ed it and saw it was Latin. The doctor's name was John Williamson Head, but the Latin made it Johannes Gulielmus, filius, Caput. That was enough for M1ark. He made the ~p6int that it was not a diploma, but was an old land gratnt that was issued in old colony times to a man by the name of Caput. He said he had read about the Caputs, and one of their ancestors, whose name was John Se asti Caput, discovered America, an hsland gr ant was a bounty from the king of Spain. The doctor raved furiously, but MIark stuck to it that there was no mention in the doc ument of John William Head-that Sit was issued to one Johannes Gunliel mnus, filius, Caput-a very different ison, and then he asked the doctor please read the thing to the court. Icourse the doctor couldn't do it, rad he lost his case. The old 'squire ~aid he didn't know whether it was a land grant or a diploma or a patent for some machine, and if the doctor couldn't read it he wasnt fitten to use it. And so I think those eighty-six doctors had better get Colonel Ham mond to transalate their diplomas, and then learn the English by heart. Professor Lane gave the large audi ence a rare treat-a combination of wit and wisdom, that only Charley Lane can make up. He rested his manuscript on an hour-glass about four feet high, and all his serious, scholarly thoughts were there, but ever and anon he stepped to the front and illustrated his wisdom with hu morous anecdotes that kept his hear ers' eyes open, and their mouths, too. He was hard down upon patent med idines, and told how Tacob Straus got up a nostrum and hired a fellow to certlfy: '-This is to certify that I lost one of my eyes and two of my legs in the late war, and after using six bottles of Yacob Straus's medicine my blind eye come again, and so did my legs." Openheimer had a drug store, too, and a patent medicine, and when he sawv the certificate that Straus had gotten up, he hired a fellowv to certify some, too. "I certify that I was unfortunately born without a liver or lights, and suffered untold miseries until 1 took four bottles of Openheimier's medi cine, and now I have as good a liver as anybody and electrie lights." Professor Lane advised the doctors to use common sense in their practice, and said it was not called commion sense because it was common, but be cause it was comm ronly needed. Then we had a beautiful valedicto ry by Dr. Path, and the presentation of medals by Rev. Dr. Anderson, and last of all the boys called Dr. Johnston, and then the benediction closed the en+erting-exarcies. I was rumi nating about these doctors; how many would succeeed and how many wouldn't: how many would take to drink and go to bad ? How nianv would drift awav from parental moor ings and become agnostics or seep tics or infidels? I thought how much depended on their skil and kindness, and how the loves and hopes of fathers and mothers was cen tered in what the dochr could do for the child or some loved member of the family. They say that d< -tors get hardened to suffering. May'.e they do, but they ought not to. If I was a doctor I would make a show of ten derness and sympathy, whether I felt it or not. It goes a long ways with the sick and the suffering, and with the family. How much depends on the doctor's skill in saving life can never be known, but a friend of mine in New Yoik told me that a very eminent surgeon said to him some years ago, "I am responsible for Grover Cleveland's election. If it had not been for me he would have been defeated. That man Burchard, who made the speech about "Rum, Romanism, and Rebel lion," was about to die from kidney disease. He sent for me as a last re sort. I cut him open in the back and took his old Republican kidney out and cleaned it and put it back again and sewed him up, and he got well and made that speech that drove the Roman Catholics away from Blaine and elected Cleveland. Don't you see that if 1 had made a mistake in my diagnosis, or a miscut with my knife, Burchard would have died and Grover would have got left. Eh?" And there was that poor man Gar field, the president, whom the doctors killed. An eminent surgeon told me that he was probed to death. They hunted for the ball for three days, and bored new holes with their probes until he was lacerated all through, and for no good. He said that pis tol balls did no harm to stay in q man, that they became incisted, and it was better to let them alone than probe for them, and that the present practice in London and Paris was never to probe, but let nature go to work at once to heal the wound. Gar field would probably have lived if they hadn't probed him, and if he had lived Harrison wouldn't have been president, don't you see? But we can't get along without the doctors. They are our comfort and our securi tv byv day and by night. They are our hope and our trust in time of af fliction and peril. Then hurrah for the new doctors. May they live long and prosper. It is a long ways to the goal of their ambition, but they must have patience if they would have pa tients. BILL AR.

Helen stood on the door-step with a very tinv basket in her hand, when her father ~drove up and said, "I am glad you are all ready to go out, dear; I came to take you to Mrs. Lee's park to see the new deer." "Oh, thank you, papa; but I can't go just this time. The deer will keep, and we can go to-morrow. I have a very particular errand to do now," said the little girl. "What is it, dear ?" asked the father. "Oh, it is to carry this somewhere," and she held up the small basket. "Who is the errand for, dear ?" "For my own self, papa; but-oh, no; I guess not; it's a little errand for God, papa." "Well, I will not binder you, my little dear," said the good father ten derly. "Can I help you any ?" "No, sir. I was going to carry my big orange, that I saved from dessert, to old Peter." "Is old Peter sick ?" "No, I hope not; but he never has1 anything nice; and I thought that an orange would look so beautiful and make him so happ.y! Don't yo u think poor well folks ought to ba comforted sometimes as well as poor sick folks, papa ?" "Yes, my dear; and I think we of ten forget them until sickness or starvation come. You are right; this is a little errand for (God. Get into the buggy, and I will drive you to old Peter's, and wait till you have done the errand, and then show you the decr. Have you a pin, Helen ?" "Yes, papa; here is one." "Well, here is a five-dollar bill for you to fix on the skin of the orange. This will pay old Peter's rent for four weeks, and perhaps this wvill be a lit tle errand for God, too," said the gen tleman. Little Helen who had taught a wise man a lesson, looked very happy as her fingers fixed the fresb bill on the orange. An Old Dar'ky's Philosophmy. "Boss," said an old ngro at the court house yesterday to a reporter, "does you know its a fack dat all dese niggers now filling de penitentiary is young bucks dat's growed up since de war ? You seldom sees ady oh de old slavery coons in de clutches oh de law. I saw some oh deC young coons in de court de other day dat laffed when de jedge sentenced denm to seberal years. Dey care no mo' for it dan if dey was goin' to enurch." The od negro seemed to think it was reflection on the young of the colored race, and finished his re marks by saying: "D)ere ought to be er whipping post for dese bucks and do 'em like dey did before de war. Dey would hate de post was dan de penitentiary, were dey "it good grub an' a good place to sleep." The old negro is right. It is a fact that nearly all the negroes sent to the penitentiary are young men, and it is a rare thing to see an "old time dar key" brought up for crime. About the only thing some of the old ne groes have a fondness for is the chick en roost. The young negro, however, has al most abandoned this hankering of his ancestors, und has learned the methods of the white thief. He conm nits burglary, steals cotton and other proert orkills some one. The youg witeman is also developing. fast incriminal matters and, like the negro, is leading his fathers by a big per centage. He probably does not steal, but where he has a penchant for wrong doing, lie gambles and shoots and cuts as quickly us the bor dnre. of years ago. -- t'i' i.dll Gw TiTE JMYSTEIES O l F ALLILACr MAlE PUBLIC.

Ga., Banner is respon sible for the following exposition of the valuable seerets connected with the Alliance. In an interview with a proiinent Alliancemtu in that coun IV, lie admitted to the Banner man the correctness of the report, except that the full number of boards were not used on the distinguished candi date for Alliance honors. Gen. Gordon is now a full fledged Allianceman, and will hereafter be made to toe the mark, and address Livingston, Macune, and Harry BrownI as "brother." The initiation of this distinguished gentleman went through without a jostle, and was witnessed by a large and enthusiastic audience of Alliancemen. At the risk of being shot for expos ing the secrets of our order, I will give the Banner a full report of the imn pressive ceremony that snatched Gen eral Gordon from the clutches of the: politicians and made him an humble disciple of the plow. The candidate was escorted into the! ante room of the Allianceinen by a body guard of farmers. He mani-f fested some nervousness when his conductors demanded that he parti ally disrobe and submit to the ordeal of being curried off with a corn cob and rubbed down with a bundle of fodder; the reason for this phantom agricultural bath being that it was necessary to cleanse his person from the contaminating effects of too close a contact with Atlanta politicians. Jef fersonian Democrats, Independents and other unclean elements, and that he might enter the realms of agri cultural bliss. He was then arrayed in a pair of copperas pants, upheld by one suspender, and a hickory shirt, wool hat, and brogan shoes. The Al liance (his guide explained) was no respecter of persons, and every mem ber must be on an equal footing. Three raps were given on the lodge room door, and a sepulchral voice from within demanded: "Who comes there ?" "A poor penitent who is graveling in darkness, and asks that the light of the Alliance be turned upon bhim," was the reply. "Is the candidate a tiller of the soil ?' was the next query from with in. "He says he has always been the best friend the farmers of Georgia ever had," was the e'asive response. "See if there are any corns in his hands or cockle-burrs in his hair?" was the command. "The seeker of light says he is only a farmer by proxy, and the corns are in the hands of the men who work his land," was the response. "Does the candidate ask admittance into our order of his own volition, and is he prepared to pass through the or deal of initiation ?" "He does and he is," was the reply from without. "Let the candidate then remain in darkness until his eves are prepared to receive the great light that the Al liance will turn upon him and he can be admitted into our sacred precints," was the next order. The eyes of the applicant for Alli ance knowledge were bandaged with a second-hand guano sack, the door of the lodge room thrown open, and Georgia's ex-Governor and United States Senator, for the first time in his life, found himself in the inner sanctuary of the farmers' lair. He was marched three times around the room, while the memibers welcome d him with: ''While the lamp holas out to burn, The vilest sinner umyv ret~urn. With a "gee" and "haw" the candi date was escorted to the Grand Ty coon, who used as a chair of state the small end of a bale of cotton. "Our would-be .brother, your hu. miiating entry into this roomt teaches you a useful lesson. A few minutes ago you camne to us reeking with the odor of the politician, and arrayed ini the paraphernalia of a great man. You were stripped of your tine appar-l, which means that you must also leave behind you in your future communi cations vith farmers your worldly dig nitv-, or the Alliance will strip you of your honors, as easily as it did of your tailor-made garments. All men (ex cept the nigger) are free and equal. "The odious bandage that obscured your vision is a necessary attachmentf to the farm; and while it teaches an Allinceman that lie must not expect his pathway through life to be sprink led with attar of roses, will be a spec ial reminder to you of the oifensive manner that you sp~oke of our leaders and friends during your recent cam paign. The conductor will now con vey the candidate to the High anid Mighty Hister for further instruction, while the brethren will p~lease sing: 'On Jordan's stormy banks I stand."' The H. and M. Hister wvas squat ting b~etween the handles of a plowv stock. Without further ado the can didate had an iron hook fastened in the seat of his pants, to which a rope was attached and thrown over a beam above. With a steady p~ull by two sinewy A lliancemen the distinguished gentleman was soon dangling in the air, with hands and feet vainly clutch ing at the floor. "Now hold the candidate in that position, where he can better appre ciate the beautiful lessons inculcated by the Alliance," remarked the G. and M. H. "It is needless for the parti ally initiated brother to longer clutch at the floor. He has already had se experience at resigning, and the wis est thing he can do is to put into practice that virtue and be resigned to the position we have placed him in, and not postpone this matter until be gets to Washington again. "That hook," the High Histes ex plainedl, "illustrates the lir~m hold the. Farmers' Alliance has on mankind. Your struggles in the air showvs the folly of a candidate trin g to gain his equilibrium while in the maighity grasp of our order. It also illustrate our political power to elevate or lower a man at will. Your futile clutches in the air is to show the folly of a candidate trying to reach for oilic through politicians.

The Supreme Spanker sat upon a )al of hay. lie ordered the bandage relol(ved froin the candidate's eyes, renarking that he had perhaps Iro grCsS;ed far enough to stand the light of the Alliance; and, besides, he was to go through another Ordeal that rie quired all of a mnan's faculties to en dure. The seeker after light was then led up to a barrel, and in a twiniling stretched over it. "Bring forth the sub-treasury plank," commanded the Supreme Spanker, "and convince the new brother that it is not a rotten one, but made of good, sound timber. Let the High Executioner do his duty like a good and true Alliance man, while we will all sing, 'Once I was blind, but now I can see. Forty times that plank rose in the air and came down with a mighty thum p, before the writthing victim was released and carried before the Supreme Spanker again, to have the lesson he had just received explained. "You have passed through one of the most beautiful and edifying chap ters in the Alliance mode of initia tion. You have publicly asserted that we have only one plank in our platform and that a rotten one. I feel assured that you are now prepar ed to correct this statement, and as sert that our sub-treasury plank is one of the soundest you ever felt. We have several other planks, as we can prove to your satisfaction if so desired. Oh! you say you are satisfied! Well, be careful in the future how you speak slurringly of something you know nothing about. Now carry the candidate, Brother conductor, for other useful lessons, and while he is on the move let the members sing: 'This is the way I long have sought."' The Great Drencher had on the table before him three black feathers and a goblet half filled with what ap peared to be old Bourbon. "After his long fatiguing pilgrim age our brother is doubtless in need of rest and refreshments. Place a chair that be may be seated." This was done, but by some slight of-hand the candidate made a miss, and landed upon the floor. "My unfortunate brother, you have now learned the uncertainty of politi cal campaigns. Just as a man thinks he has found a nice, comfortable seat, the Alliance slips it from beneath him, and painful indeed is his disappoint ment. I spoke just now of refresh ments, and had prepared a nice mess of corn for you; but I now discover in your recent speech you made be fore the Alliance convention, that you have already eaten all the sub-treas ury crow except a few tail feathers. But here is a glass of Jeffersonian Democracy, according to the Epistle of Romans, that you were so partial to a short time since. This is the last of the cask and please swallow the same. Well if you hesitate, I have to order the grand executioner, to show you another one of the planks in our platform. Ah, you find that the liquid is eneased in glass so that it will not wet your parched lips. That, my brother, is Jeffersonian Democracy. It is very nice to look upon, but like Dead Sea fruit, is tasteless. This shows you that to de pend on other classes than the Alli ance and the organized Demnocrac) for ofhice and honor is to partake of a phantomn lunch. This, my newly-made brother, ends the first degree in the Farmers' Alli ance. I trust the great beautiful truths you have seen illustrated to day will make a lasting impression on your mind. The brethren will now'join hands and wvhile they march around the newv member sing: 'Once I was lost, but now I am found.'" Thus ended one of the most enter taining ceremlonies ever p)erformed in our State. It is to be regretted that every Alli ance man in Georgia could not ha ye have witnessed the snatching of this distinguishedl brand from the fire built around it by the polititicians.
