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

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

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

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?

mighty strange to me that thp northern

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

Affection of Monkey?.
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
