F< # VOL. X. ARP ON THE PAST. He Tclks of the Andersonville Stories Now Told Again. HILL'S SPEECH IS RECALLED Bartow Philosopher Declares That All Liars Are Not Yet Dead and Lies Are Repeated. As (ho poot Browning said: "1 thought the lie was deud and damned ' but it seems not. Anderconville has broken out again. We tho.igut that our general?Senator Hill?had killed that whole Andersontrrlle business in his masterly reply to Blaine some twenty-live years ago. He prove! from tin* Scleral records that the suffering of their soldier boys in the.* prison was the sin. the crime, the shame of Stanton who refused to exchange with us ami refuseil to sen 1 medicine and supplies for tie ir sieii. We did the* very best Ave < > <11 tilt ! some honest northern soldiers have so written and publishe : ::i northern papers. But ever an ! anon t'ae same old lie breaks loose. again. and now they have started a new one about a spring? the "I'rovidenee spring," which they say gushed forth from the ground just in time to s ,ve their soldiers from perishing for lack of water. And they are spending money in ini losing and beautifying the grounds around the spring. The contemptible liars. Stores of good old men still live who knew of that spring away back in the -id's when Andersonville was a wilderness and the spring was known as a deer stand. Yes. it was a I'rovidenee spring, for provident o created it. and all the other springs when He made the continent and the rivers an I mountains. Andersonville never lacked water and was sel? eted for a prison because of the abundance of water, and that little spting was of no consequence, for it ran only about thirty gallons an hour, which would be less than hall a gill a day to the prisoners. The spring was covered up by the bands when ditching for the -stockade and its water found some other channel and broke out again after a big rain and that's all there is about it. No i'rovidenee spring! Those everlasting liars are just hunting tip some more devilment. This spring business is another Barbara Krietehie delusion gotten up to keep the northern heart in tune and Arc up (loldr man Smith to write some more historic lies about the south. But 'whom the Lord loveth He elmstcneth." and our faith is .that lie loves our people very mm h or He would not ? hasten us so much and so long with these vile slanders. "And I said in mine haste all men are liars," said David. If he had lived up north in our day lie might have* said it at his leisure. We are Retting so ae< ustoniod and so hardened to their exaggeration and prevarication that we don't believe them when they tell the truth. History says that. Israel Putnam crawled into a cave and killed a wolf. I used to believe that hut 1 doubt it now since (Joldwin Smith has set up Ilenedict Arnold as n hem Providence spring! what ;i l;? ! Hut our veterans are clearing up this history business and our teachers had better he very eareful what they teach. I Maury's geography they teach. 1 never did understand until recently why Maury's geography was ruled out of so many schools and Fi ve's was pu' in. Thoro is some bribery in this school book business. Money is paid to school commissioners, or teachers, or some outside lawyers for their iulluenee. Last year a teacher higu in office at Knoxville was expelled for accepting a bribe and I have heard it charged that a lawyer in Atlanta got big money for booming a book into the public schools. .Money rules the roost in every calling, ami there is a money job behind this AndersonviH." business. Providence spring! Oh. my country, what docs providence have to do with those fellows c\< ept to let them run their course. "I have seen the wicked prosper 1 iU ? a green bay trop." says David. An old darky heard me say. "I wonder what makes the I.ord smile on old Jim Wilklns so. Jim is as mean as a dog. but every trade lie makes and everything he touches turns into money. He is getting richer and richer every year." The old darky said: "Why, boss, do I/ord hain't got anything to do wid Jim Wilkins. Lord haint notlcin him. Lord dun gi\o him up long time ago. l>at's why he gittin rich? old debil ar runuin him." Providence spring.

Those yankees buy WBBm* a F( that just in the nick of time when hope was nearly gone and despair had set in for want of water Providence upheaved the ground and the water gushed forth like it did when Moses struck the rock with his rod. Mr. Pillsbury. of Americus. an honorable veteran, was there on guard and says the whole thing is a made up lie. and it can be proved so by many old citizens of Sumter county. We will have to nail that Andersonville lie to a board and put in up at the forks of the road. We will brand it when we meet at Memphis. I want to meet Colonel John Cussons there and thank him for his little book. 1 want every veteran to have one. The price is only 2!? cents, and it is worth ten times that much to have it in the house and refer to it sometimes when we get cussin mad. Providence spring!

Sometimes, in the rare butchers* shops of old Tokyo, one used to see dead monkeys exposed for sale; and the sight was at first a litt!? gruesome, for flu monkey is so human in appearance. The number of Japanese who ate any flesh at all was very limited, but those who did cat flesh had few scruples. A pathetic story is related of filial affection in monkeys. T'p inthe lofty hill regions of Japan, where foreigners now resort to spend the summer months, a native hunter went out shooting. Catching sight of a verylarge monkey, he took deadly aim and brought it down. He reached home with his prize, and intended at first to leave It outside in a shed, but as it was not vet skinned and might freeze, he took it indoors and hunt? it up by the charcoal fire. In the middle of the night. as he lay huddled in his shelflike cot. he heard a noise. Wondering what it might be. he opened bis eyes and looked around the hut. What did he see but two or three young monkeys toasting their hands by the fire, and then placing their warm fingers on the corpse of the old monkey hanging near! It was a pathetic sight. They paid particular attention to the wounded part, chafing it more frequently than any other, l'oor things: their labors were all in vain.?American Illustrated Methodist Magazine. ^ - jl )RT MILL, 8.
