tions of a long article bv a preacher
describing the sad condition of a pro- jy
pie lie has recently visited. Out of tit
one hundred and sixty-eight towns in | t'1
the State he visited seventy of them
that are oil' from the railroads, and all ,
of these have decreased in population an
since 1890. None of these towns have
settled pastors or preachers and the
churches are abandoned or have ,j0
preaching at irregular intervals and y,
the attendance hardly ever exceeds vj(
twenty-live persons. The Sabbath y,
schools are equally deserted. The j,,.
once busy plants of small industries
are dead and the people farm only for j-()
the bare necessities of life. Houses, jyj
barns, and fences are going to decay y,
and the little mills that were on the (.j,
creeks have tumbled down and the y,
dams have washed away. Here and 0j(
there you will see a stately mansion yu
sheltering some degenerate family in y,
the back woods while the vacant front ()|(
greets you with the silence of the
tomb. Sometimes you will tiud an old j,,'
man and woman alon in an old ances- y
tral home. I found a mother and her .()
two sons and two old maids in op* >p|

" Where Js all this?" said my wife. iu|
"I don't believe a word of it. it is jj
some newspaper lie a fake made up v
by some reporter." 1 read on. In on
one town I found the usual Saturday a ,
night dance going on in an old vacated !in
tavern and they danced and (levelled
and drank until Sunday morning. ,'m
Sunday is no more observed than it is W(
in Chicago, for they hoc and dig and t.|j
gather hay all the same as on week Cl
days. Illiteracy, insanity and imbc- an
cility are very marked! 1 found one 1^,
family in which both parents were a
idiots and had raised up a family of wj
idots. In another home or house I
found a poor father taking care of , ^
three motherless children, all Idiots. W(
"1 don't believe a word of it," said ra
my wife. "There is no such people tj,
in this country. What paper are you ln,
reading from?" wj
One can hardly conceive of the tilth Ml
and vice reigning in these country a ,
places called homes?a barbarism dif- aI]
fering from the city slums only in its
stagnant Inertia and touched as little
by church influences as ir in the heart an
or Africa. The conntry people all h,
r?able to read or w^^^^oosetn their j);
family relations, socially corrupt, giv- wj
en to drink, and some to the opium
habit. And these are the towns wliere
half a century ago, lived the best fam- ,,e
ilies of the State. Among them the
Fields (Cyrus and his brother), the
Abbotts, the Barnes and Donald
Mitchell and others.
And now let me tell you, my dear
wife, I am reading from The llartford
Times and this is only a short portion (
of the report read in New Haven recently
by Rev. Mr. Hutching, a Bible
colporteur, of Connecticut.
This report Is fully accredited to he ()
true and l he editor of The Times tries "J.*
to tone it down by saying, "The same =
conditions described by Mr. Hutebins
for Connecticut are common to all the 1 '
older States." Be v. George Horr. of J'
of Massachusetts, is also a Bible col- '
porteur for that State and he said in
Boston the other day, '1 have driven l,
nil nvpr N'nw Vnirlinul with mv fiwn
horses and my conviction is them is
no immortality in any western mining ^
town that will compare with what you ^
And a few miles from any New EnKland
town. Mr. llutehins' observa- ' =
tion corresponds exactly with my
own." ()jj;
(IckmI friends, kind friends, what is '
to he done about this. Hut the editor j '
of The Times Is mistaken when he (
says the same conditions are common ,t
to all the older States. We have no j
such people in (leor^ia. In some of '
our mountain counties the people are
illiterate, but tney are honest and t(i.
moral and attend church and observe
the marriage relation and obey the (,
laws of the land and make the best un
soldiers the world ever saw. They ,)('j
have courts twice a year and it takes a(
only a half a week to clear thccrimi- '^r
nal dockets.
Now, I was thinking that as Ilos- ?
ton and Hartford and New Haven had ^
sent a bit,' lot of money down here to 'r*
educate and reform our negroes It
would lie nothing but fair for us to I('(
send a lot of the graduates up there l(jr
to do missionary work in Connecticut
and Massachusetts. These neuro
graduates couldn't teach them the t||(
lost art of making wooden nutmegs. (
but they could teach school and preach
and the New England people could pir
pay them for it and keep their money ' ^
at home. Something must he done ri s
and done quick, or the old Puritan '.
race will become extinct. I reckon

he Bli'nd Tigeraln Charleston Clawa
^ the Chief of Police.
A dispatch from Charleston to the
.ugusta Herald says war against the
lind tigers of Charleston has develop1
quite a sensation in which some
Utrtllng assertions against the
Intruder of Charleston's chief of poise
have been made by means of plucig
placards In the- window of one of

lie tirst of Ills administration Ooveror
Heyward has been keeping the
jnstabulary moving actively a gains',
lie blind timers, of Charleston. The
evelopnienlR in the Chicoo afTair were
proud broadcast and read with con
iderable interest in a great muni
ewspap^rs, but tiu* latest "affair" is
lie lirst of a really sensational type so
ir. Several days ago a blind tiger
1111 by It. M. MeManus was raided by
rderof Mayor Sinythe and ever since
here have been placards placed daily
i the window knocking on the
haracter of the chief of the police
epartment to stare pedestrians in the
ice. The day following the raid this
tie appeared:
"This business was closed by
orders of a drunken, ii.c 111 pet en t
Chief of Police."
No notice was taken of the placard
y the otlicials. but it was reau by evrybody
that passed the place. The
rilowing day an even more sensationi
placard was exhibit* d in the willow,
reading as follows:
"Why don't this drunken Chief
of Pol ire lie as active in closing
other places as he has this. The
Coventor could then call in the
constabulary."
The alTair did not stop with this
lacard, nor was it allowed to remain
ing in its plaee. Apparently not
atistied with the effect a single pla
arc! was having, the advertisement
.us changed this morning, and intead
of one card, the show window
.as decorated with an array of cards
hat was calculated to stop anyoac
.ho might lie passing, and could not
elp hut have some resting place in
he minds of the readers. The signs
isplayed are as follows:
"What the community wishes
to know is why this Chief of Police
disgraces the uniform that the
taxpayers put on his back. Who
pays the rent of No. .'17 Coming
street? Who runs that den? Let
him answer that, too."
"Closed by order of that I >ehaucher.
impostor upon the taxpayers
;us the Chief of Police. Had
he been sober instead of a state of
beastly intoxication on the night
of the murder of Young Pinckney
the perpetrators of that foul deed
might have been apprehended."
"Who but tliis rotten Chief of
Police is responsible for the robbery
of tlie old Veterans during
the reunion in the year 16518? A
privilege was granted an imported
gambler and ex-convict, at the
cost of $:>,OOU to do the work.
Why was suclia privilege granted?
Not Tor the love of this convict.
Who got the privilege money?

"This drunken Chief of Police
occupied the time of the special
detectives in hounding down
those that are distasteful to him,
while the thieves have their own
way and the taxpayers pay the
c? >sts."
it is tlie chief of police, W. A.
toyle. who is refered to in the sign:
r cards that appear in the window
nd everylKjdy in Charleston expect:
hat some serious trouble will lie tin
suit of what many of the best peole
here are referring to as "a dirt\
iece of work" on the part of a "hlinc
iger keeper" meaning McManus.
Vhile Chief P.oyle has taken in
etion in the matter, treating it appa
ntly with contempt, it is plaiulj
;en that the manner in which lii.?
ame is being handled by the hlinc
iger is not at all appreciated by him
'lie chief of police is pretty well likec
