WHAT SHALL, WE HEAD?
Paul once stirred up Ephesus with
some lively sermons about the sins of
that place. Among the most import
ant results oi these sermons was the
faot that the citizens brought out
their bad books and papers and in a
publio place made a buntire of them.
One of the wants of this community
Is a great bontire of b'-d books and
newspapers. We have in this vicinity
enough of such fuel to make a blaze
600 feet high. Take forth this trasti
and put it into the tire, and let it bc
known in the "^Asen?** o' God stii?
, angels and ~e_rJliat you are going to
rid your homes of this curse of profit
gate literature. We believe it is in
tended that the printing-press shall
be a means for the world's rescue and
evangelization. The great last battle
of the world will not be fought with
swords and guns, but with types and
presses, a puritied literature triumph
lng over and crushing out forever
that which is depraved. The great
est blessing that ever came to this
nation is that of an elevated litera
ture, and thc greatest scourge has
been that of unclean literature. This
last has its victims In all departments
of life. It has helped to till Insane
asylums and penitentiaries. The
London plague was nothing to lt.
What books and papers do you read?
A newspaper is onlv a book in a
swilter and more portable shape. In
selecting your papers do you make no
distinction between the tree of life
and the tree of death? Cherish good
books and newspapers. Beware of
the bad ones. Renjimln Franklin
said that the reading of Cotton Math
er's essay on "Doing Good" molded
his entire life. May not the reading
of this Home Circle Column, crude
though it mayjbe, have an ?nlluence
upon your children in molding their
lives while they are yet easily Im
pressed. We strive hard to keep the
columns of this paper clean and pure
so it can be warmly welcomed into
the best homes of this community.
In our next issue we will have some
thing to say about novel reading.
?
FOND OK CONTENTION.
As individuals, as families, commu
nities and even as nations wo seem to
be coming more fond of contentions.
It ls contentions more than any other
one thing that takes from the Home
Circle its every charm. Russia and
Japan at the present time are only
samples of the contention that can bu
found in too many homes. In this
country where our blue skies are full
of robins and doves and meadowlarks,
we select as our national symbol, the
tierce and filthy eagle. In Great
Brittan where they have lambs and
deer their symbol ls tho merciless
lion. In Russia, where from between
her frozen north and blooming south
all kinds of beasts abide, they choose
as their smybol the growling bear.
So fond are we of contention that we
climb out through the heavens and
baptize one of the other planets with
tho spirit of battle and call it Mars
after the god of war. Wc suppose

The Democratic National Commit
tee needs money and is not ashamed
or afraid to say so. George Foster
Peabody, the treasurer of the commit
tee, would be glad to receive contri
butions, large or small. He would
welcome sums as small as half a dol
lar. Mr. Peabody encourages the mak
ing of amah contributions. He, would
rather receive $100 from one Uindred
persons in sums of one dollar-, each |
than the Uko sum from a single indi
vidual. Mr. Peabody hopes io be fav
ored with many small contributions
from the south. Himself a native of
Georgia, he says it would please him
immensely to have the D?mocrate of
bis old home state evince their inter
est in the cause In this practical way.
He would be glad to have the Dem
ocrats in other southeru states join.
And why not? No portion of the
country would receive greater benefit
from the election of Parker and Davis
than the south; no portion bas so
much to fear from the election of
Roosevelt as the south. It would be
a handsome thiug for Orangebuig
County to raise at last one hundred
dollars to blip the good cause along.
The Times and Democrat expects to
make a small contribution to the
Democratic campaign fund and would
gladly receive contributions from
others for the same purpose. All con

Lost in Terrille dale.
A dispatch from Chatham, Mass.,
says a small part of the forward sec
tion of thc hull and a slanting fore
mast stood as mute reminders of the
tragedy enacted there Friday night
when the three-masted schooner
Wentworth of Moncton, N. lt., struck
on Chatham bar during a raging north
erly gale and all on board perished In
the terri lie seas. With the exception
of the loss of the steamer Portland In
November, 181)8, the wreck of the
Wentworth is the worth dlsi.ster that
has occurred on the Cape Cod coast
during the last decade. Of the 12
persons who were on board the strand
eel vessel, not one reached the shore
alive, although two bodies were res
cued from the surf Friday morning,
one of them that of a woman, be
liever! to be the wife of the captain.
With ber three children she was ac

invited their interruptions. Ile
ed them to down him, and their
uestions only served to elieit his bit
ing epigrams.
"I've got so much devilment in me
tonight, 1 want tc throw out some
heelltire In your direction," he eaid,
and that started things:
"Why should the laboring man vote
or Parkei?" shouted Mrs. Lillian
Forberg, one of the most insistent of
the Socialists present.
"Why," thundered Senator Till
man, "because if you were in he'l
wouldn't you like to get into purga
tory a while."
Again, when the Socialists were
harassing him on all sides, he yelled.
"Any Socialist who votes for Debs in
preference to Parker is spitting in his
own face and is a di nkey."
Ile was proclaiming the principles
of Bryan-it was much more a Bryan
than a Parker meeting throughout
when some one asked him why Bryan
hadn't been elected.
"Because you people didn't vote the
way you whoop. When a man talks
one way and votes another, G id have
mercy on lils soul, because the devil
has a bill of sale on him."
Picking up the pink carri, upon
which the Sjcialists had printed a list
of questions for him to aus wer, Sena
tor Tillman exclaimed:
"Socialism, social equality on the
one side, yes, and amalgamation of
races, and nell and damnation on the
other."
IPs choicest invectives, however,
were saved for President 'floosevelt,
whose policy towards the blacks in
the South be bitterly assailed.
"If a nigger ls good enough for the
President to eat with, he ought bo be
Kood enough for him to sleep with,"
he said.
' Nigger," explained the Senator,
"means a black man, and is the ph ras
used colloquially when spoken. Negr .
ls the term you use when i ou write
and want to be polite."
"Are you going to trust this coun
try again to a man who wants to be
the whole shcotln' match?" was
another of bis phrases to describe the
President.
A man, evidently a loader of the So
ialists pres mt, bavin g requested that
enator Tillman be allowed to' have
his say before he was Interrupted with
questions, the Senator was K it com
paratively unmolested during the
op- ulng of his speech. He was well
aware that there were many Scclalists
present and he commenced with the
remark.
"There is an old adage which says
that a fellow feeling makes us wond
rous kind. Now, 1 have been dubbed
a crank, an Anarchist, a wild mai'
from Bjrueo, and I am sure that no
une here will te any wilder than I
ara. I come from a part of tin coun
try where we have a problem which
dwarfs all other problems, and it is
that which keeps the white men in
the South in a solid line in the Demo
cratic party. You can't tell anything
about it unless you live there.
"The Republican leaders of to day
are subservient sycophants, bowing
and scraping at the While House, and
betiding themselves up to i ne man
who directed and controlled them in
the National Convention, livery last
one of them falls down a whipped eur
before this man in the White House.
1 have heard Republican leaders, talk
ing among themselves, say that they
had no personal liking for Roosevelt,
no not one of them, but they b;>w lo
him because he has the whip hand and
can distribute the patronage.
"1 know you fellows want to vote
fur Debs. UP hi my friend. We have
had many a little confabulation to
gether, and 1 think that bc ls a little
rattle pated, and maybe 1 am, but 1
believe I still nave some sense. 1 want
ed to elect Bryan, but you fellow*
wouldn't vote as j ou whooped. 1 have
been in Chicago befo e, right out in
this district, too, and I beard you fel
fuws whoop for Bryan, and 1 said to
myself, there is nothing to this, 1
have carried the town. But when elec
tion day came 1 found that you didn't
vote the way you were yelling."
"Do you stand for the''equality of
the races?" he thundered.
"We stand for their equality as far
as wages go," carno tho answer.
11 Yuu can't ?land upon one platform
and not on the other," thundered Till
man. "The record of the ages shows
that wherever the while and black
races have conflicted tho whites have
been tho masters. You c.in't tell his
tory that it Iles."
"Has Parker declared himself upon
bbc negro question?" came from the
?ian. I
"My friend, woof the-South are

A Corruption Fuhrt.
The New York World, Brooklyn
Eagle, and New York Times are all
aller Roosevelt and Cortelyou with
sharp sticks for the alleged "holding
I up" of corporations In the interest ot
! the Republican corruption fund.
I These papers charge that a system of
i political blackmail has been adopted ,
oy the Roosevelt managers and that
railroad companies, banks and other
corporations, some of which are legit
la ale business conccn.s and uot In
sympathy with the policies or candi
dates of the Republican party, have
been threatened with the "dhpleas
ure" of the administration if they do
not foi th with con! ri bute large sums
to tli3 already swol'en bank account
of the Roosevelt highbinders. The
Uro iklju Eagle also gets after "Ross"
Udell, and charges him with having
admitted to a friend tbat he had ar
ranged to spend *800,0?0 In an effort
to elect the Republican state and na
iional ticket In New York. The
Etgle, wiiich ls ooe of the most con
servative and truthful newspaiere in
the coun!ry, and responsible fur its
utteraucis, g'vts details in making
this grave accusation, and calls upun
"Boss-!' Odell to make specific denial
if he dare. That the Republicans have
wiu g an enormous amount of money
fruin the trusts a?d corporations bs
bey< ni question. Tuat they will use
mi lions of this blood money corruptly
no honest man doubts Rut they have
dune the same things, though in lesser
di grce, in previous years, and yet lost
the election. A vigilant and unpur
chaseable press has heretofore aroused
the public conscience and prevented
tie deigned theft of the Presidency.
Th's is the only hope of electing Par
ker and Davis. If the- Republican
1 arty eau Had the votes to buy they
have the price, and they will carry
the election their way.

A dispatch from New York says
wealthy and influential Republicans
and Independents of Plainfield, N. J.,
Including New York commuters, have
organ I/, ed a Parker Independent club
and will wage a vigorous campaign
there, pleading that the Democratic
candidate for president represents
constitutional government. There wib
t.e no lack of tunc?s to defray the tx
pense of weekly mas meeting in the
Casino, and the distribution of eam
piign litetaHire has been a-ranged.
George S. Cliy, a New Yo k lawyer
and private secretary to Judge Dillon,
bas been chosen president of the club,
Isaac L. Miller and Samuel Hunt ing
ton, bath New York lawyers, are vice
presidents, and Henson M. Van Yleet,
