Bro. Birchinore is entirely
welcome to our defense of him
against the unwarranted charges
of the Edgctlcld News. As we
stated, we always take up the

that we took it up for him.

Reasoning with Ins usually
bright or dull light, The Mes
senger of this week cannot un
derstand our position on the
liquor question. Queer, but some
people never could read by a
auiokey light. The one we use
is clear and bright, and we use a

We reasoned the recent, dis
pensary election according to
ihe light of truth and righteous
ness and common sense, and not
according to mawkish sentiment.
That common sense, together
witli what wo kuoto, not dream, of
conditions in w<H-dry counties,
caused us to lliutily oppose the
scheme for bogus prohibition.

The editor of this paper lias
always been in a class by him

however, and will take any other

people will enjoy basking in the

BIG SUM REQUIRED BY
ARMY IN CUBA.
Two and a Half Million
Besides Ordinary Ex
penses,
Washington, Aug. 2I5. It cost
1he American government
551,070, in addition .to the regu
lar ordinary expense, to keep
the American army of Cuban
pucilic.?tion in thai island (lur
ing the Hscul year of l'.)07. This
fact is shown in the annual re
port of (?en. Aloshire, quarter
master general of the army.
Of the amount stated $l,01i'>,.'?s;j
was spent for transportation.
The above figures arc tremend
ous, and for the life of us we
cfinnot see why the American
government should pay one dol
lar of the expense incident to
the keeping of an army in Cuba.
It is there solely in the interest
of the Cubans, and there by re
quest, so why should not. the
Cubans pay Ine cost of its main
enuuee? It is of no bcnctit to us
that our soldiers maintain peace
on the island, as it only defers
the period in winch Cuba will
become a part of the possessions |
of the United States. Withdraw '
t he troops. Let those people i
have a little revolution or so,
auil then let Uncle Sam step in'
1 |
and annex the country. No
thoughtful man will question fori
u moment that this is the final j
and logical outcome, so let it
come quick.
We take occasion also to ex
press our opinion again on the
Philippine question. There is'
Ho question in our mind that the
Philippine islands are costing us
a great deal more both in blood
and money tliau they are worth
to us in either. We ought never
to have acquired them, so if any
other country wants them, let (
them have them, rcserceing for
ourselves two or three coaling ;
ttutions. It is said thut .Japan).
wants them. If so, wo believe
tlmt it would pay us to promptly
dispose of them. Trye tliey
hayo already cost us a great
deal, b.ut we ' are not one of
those who raind tn rowing good
inouey after bad. to say nothing
of the priceless lives of our
young men that have been sacri
ficed to the Juggernaut, "Never
haul down tne Flag." Tl^se
are not thoughts thrown out at
random, but are the sestled Cou
victions of years.
Attention, .Merchant* mi<l Other
A<lvertiM4M-s.
i no iui!o\\ ing items are eli pr?ed
from a very tine article on ad
vertising that appeared in The
Southern Printer of August.
1 he will appeal to the business
sense of every ousiuess man
whether merchant or not:
?'Quite recently the publisher
of a paper in a town T always
considered a pretty progressive
coin m uuity complained to me
that the business men there did
not patronize him as they should,
and added that they seemed to
cousider money paid him for ad
vertising as an expense very
similar to their contributions to
the foreign missionary society."
Smile here.
"Advertising matter should
be made as interesting as news
matter."
So St I If wc.
\\ hat can be of more impoi
tance and of greater interest to
a paper's readers than informa
tion about the things they must
purchase every day ?"
Absolutely uothiny.
"When advertisements are
properly written, they are read
as carefully us t|ie bodv of the
paper. "
Correct, but few tire.
Smith, (presumedly a mer
chant) and his name is legion,
knows nothing about ad- writing
and the proper display of his*
announcements. It is the busi
ness of the printer to leuow about
such tilings."
Never were truer words written
Wc know.
1 here are three things in ad
vertising that are of prime im
portance and that should be
figured in the display: The
thing advertised, its cost, and
where it can be had. Jifvery
thing eJse may be subordinate."
Prospective, advertize rs, set up
and take notice.
The above should be taken
seriously ??d acted upon uc
cordinsly. There is meat in
every line of it

| said Kov. N. A. Cleaves yester
day as ho prouounced a few re
marks over the body of Wesley
KulT in the funeral services at
Sidney Park church.
And it was an occasion which
well might have elicited such an
expression from the preacher,
f ins negro was respected by
white men and was honored by
his own race. The pallbearers
were white men and the escort
of honor consisted of colored fra
ternal lodges.
Wesley Ku IT was a member of
the old Independent fire engine
company in the clays of the volun

bearers were the members of
that company ? Geo. H. UadclifTe,!

?[no. R Uodgers, 10. A Allwor
den, J no. IJ.Carr, Jno. T. Sloan,
Hm. G. Gaston. Sam L Sweeney
and W. W. Hunter. There were
present representatives of all
the former volunteer fire com
panics and the drivers of the
present paid fire department.
KufT was a fearless driver in
the days of the volunteer fire de
partment and figured in two re
cords that are worth mention
tng. At Augusta, Ga., m t)1(.
hose wagon contest, the time of
."O i l seconds was a world's
record up to that time. He also
figured in a quick hitch aud 100

seconds, another world's record
up to timt time. Ruff was well
'iked by the members of the In
dependent company, whose lives
lie had many times in his hands
while responding to lire alarms.

The celebration will include a
number of spectacular features
in this city, such as an electri
cal pageant, and grand military
aud naval display, a gathering
of patriotic societies, a parade
and ball by the fraternal orders,
a big concert, a night carnival,
etc. 1 here will also be a speciul
pilgrimage to Annapolis on

J he visitors to the capital will

the United States Naval Acade-'

The New Baltimore, which has

THE JAMESTOWN EXPOSI
TION.
(Official Statement.)
The Jamestown Exposiou, bar- 1
riug minor details, will be com
pleted within ten days. It lit
tingly commemorates the great
historical event, which it was de
signed to celebrate, and it re
flects credit on Virginia, the
South and the nation. In the
character of its buildings, the
excellence of its exhibits and
the beauty of location on histori
cal Hampton Roads, it compares
most favorably with any expo
sition held m this country, und
it fully justifies its management
in asking the united support of
the count ry.
A later report, bearing date
Aug. 21th, states that the Ex
position is complete in all de
tails with the exception of the
Q. S. Government pier which
will be completed within a few
days. As very few of us rural*
ists care a snap about piers, or
peers, this is a minor objection
to the visiting of the exposi
tion. ? Editor.
Opportunity.
The following is a very pretty
little poem which is credited to
Judge Walter Malone, Memphis,
Tenn. It is in reply to Senator
Ingall's poem on "Opportunity "
the opening line of which reads
"Opportunity knocks but once at
every door.**' The reply is en
titled "Opportunity's Reply."
Here it is:
"They do me wrong who say I conn*
no more,
When onee I knock and fail lo find
you in;
For every day I stand outside your
door,
And bid you wake und rise to fight
and win.
Wail not for previous chances psssed
nway ;
Weep not for golden ages on the
wane.
Each night I burn the records of the
day ;
At sunrise every soul is born again.
Laugh liKe a boy at splendors that
have sped
To vanished joy be blind, and deal
and dumb;
My judgments seat the dead past with
its dead,
Hut never bind a moment yet to
coine.
Wo clip this from The N. Y.
Times Saturday Review.
A Long Swim.
A tramp has beaten all known
records by swimming twenty
seven miles in thirty minutes.
Me did not mean to do it. He
merely tried to steal a ride from
St. Louis to Chicago on the rear!
of a locomotive tender. When
the train started he fell over,
backward through the open I
manhole into the water lank. ;
The noise ol the train drowned
his cries for help, and he was'
obliged to swim until the tirst
stop was reached at Alton. |
When taken out he was nearly
dead, but the engineer was so
unfeeling as to call his attention
to the fact that the water was
only four feet deep, and lie
might have stood up. The con
ductor, also unfeeling, asked
him for his ticket, but the tramp
said lie had not come by rail,
but by water. ? Youth's Com
panion.

lesson," writes John Pleasant, of Mag
