ANGELA. By OLINTON ROSS, (Oopyright, 1899, by Clinton Ross.) The scandal mongers of the wheel are confined mostly to thoso who cannot or do not wheel. Not so long ago women wero likely to make mental faces at other women who rodo, but as soon as they themselves were spinning along with a freedom they never had fancied they straightway wondered at all these allegations. And how indeed does a brisk turn under the sky and between the fields drive away cobwebby notionsI In the old days a canter might do it, but a horse is a lixiury, and, even if you can afford it, it is ever getting out of condition and to be fit must have a modicum of constant exercise. But now all go a-spinning, the horseman as well as the one time long distanco walkers, the sinners and those who strive to ro gain this oil world from the curse. Among these latter no one is better equippcd for the ancient fight than the rector of St. Matthew in the Park, the Rev. Leiue-l Springer. With body and mind attuned to a fine healthful ness at 30, he believes strongly and preaches and acts his belief, and in these days, when clergymen sometimes forget that their duty is but to heal the heart's wouinds amni to preacli the re ward of simple h mnesty ancleanly liv ing. it is it dcligh t to sit of a morning in a pow of St. Ma t thew in the Park and listen to th' direct and human re ligion its athllt ic voing rector ex poinds- I iy, If remember hirn whiin he was 'No. :1 'n tit' varsity crew an1d1i a very g'- at ta n.

J. C. (arlington in Spartanburg lierald. AS11EVIii.:-, Nov. 2.-Tne conven tion just held hero to set on foot a movement to build a park in the moun tains of Western North Carolina, or more properly speaking. to secur. the consent of Congress to preberve the original forests and streams and moun tain crags as nature has designed them, was attended by ove r sixty men from all of the Southern States. These men feel suro that when the real beno [its to the people which this park and forebt r-eservatdon will become is set forth, that Congress will not hesit, to to make the expertient. Leading foresters in evory part, of the Uniteu States give activo aid to the move mont. They point out that the health of the community, the rivers, creeks and branches, demand that the inroads upon the forests at the head waters of these streams thail stip. It is easier and cheaper to preservo these forests now than to replant them later, as European countries nave been forced to do. From the oithusasm with which the movement has been undertaken and the fact that the government has four national parks, not one of which is In the South, there is every reason to hope tl,,t Con gress will at an early date ocquire the wildly picturetque mountain regions of this section and stay the hunter's hand and the destruc tion which follows in the wake of acqui sition by lumher companies. If it, is ever to be done, now is the time. The convention, which met at the 3attery Park, was earnest, thought ful and determinsd. Every phase of the question was discussed, but the ut mobt harmony prevailed and a perma nent organ'.zation cliected which will present the matter to Congress and ar range preliminaries. Geo. S. Powell, a retired merchant and capitalist, of Asheville, was eiected president of the association. D)r. Ambler of Asheville, who has done valiant work already in work~nr up) popular enthuelasm in the enter prise, was eleted secretary and trear urer. 'Twenty-live vice presidents were chosen from North GarolIna, Soutnh CarolIna, Virginia, West Virglnia, GJeorg ia,Tenncence and Kentucky. This list inces men pr-ominont In pro moting suctn work, governors arnd sena tors. South Carolina is represented among tt~e vice presidents by Mr. John H. Clevelanue, Gen. Edward Mlctrady and Mr. N. G3. Gosnzales. Of the 12 di rectors of the association, Mr. J. C. Gar-lington represents South Carolina. Edh~er Gonzalue of the Columbia State was chahi man of the conventiton, and proved himself an able parliamen tarian, as well as foremost edlitoria! writer in thu Sjut... 13ut, unuer 1,bu circumstances it was most amusing to see Editor Gorzales introduce Marion Butler to the convention, and a few moments later read a letter from his particular 1 c' aversion, Ben jamin Ryan Tillmnan. T1'.is letter from Senator Trilimant, which Mr. Gonzhales iread, ought, to be preserved. Nothing like is, i am' surer, wats ever written before. Like a hundred other p~ro milnent men, Senator Tillman was invited to the convention and Maj. MelC s.ick of the Battery Park hotel aided tuno enterprise by asking a number of them to be his personial guests. S.enator Tiillman dc elinedl to come, on tIhc groundi thbat, mrat'(ers on hIsl farm demand hIs per sonal attentIon, but signilienntly added that he hoped to be abeo to accept Maj. M\cIissiek's invittin some~ ttme in the near future. Chairman Gon zailes read his letter with ghoulish glee., and when the clause intimating that the senator night accept the invitation and spend the summer at the Battery Park was read, the convent~ion saw the point and gave a hearty laugh. There was not, the allighest intimation from Senator Till man as to how he stands on the Ap) palachlan Park project, though It, is certain that lie duly applreciates the Battery Park. After the work of the convention was comp~lletod the people of Asheville toiok the delegates In hand ar.d gave themn a delIghtful drive ovei- te Van derbilt grounds. It would take a week to tell all that Is to be seen on these 142.000 acr-es. Maj. McKinsick comp''.nented his friends, E Jitore Gonz tIce', Stovali and Garlington, with a magneiticc t, stag dinne~r last night, tovers being laid for 12. It Is not at, ml necessary to say that Maj. McKissick added to the sue cess of t~he convention by the royal manner In which ho enter-tained the dlelegates, for- that is taken for granted. -The report has reached Richmond from Chase City that RItav.

The New York World publishes a letter from Havar., stating that United States officials, after months of secret investigation, have discovered that the battle ship Maine was blown up by gun cotton torpedoes planted in the bay for the purpose. The gun cot ton, 700 pounds of which was used, was sent from Barcelona to Admiral Man torola, commanding the port of Ha van,and was tciber stolen from the ma gaz'ne, where the stuff was stored, or taken away by the ofiloials in charge. Admiral Manterola's records will un doubtc-dly show the nalnes of his sub ord inates who had direct control of the explosives, and in that way the idinity of the authot s and executione-s of the plot to destroy the Maine 'nay be dlecovered. Two or three men were engaged in the destruct o i of the Maine. A steam launch of Spauish make. and now used by the United States Government, in Havana harbor, conveyed the two tor pedoes, according to Oho now evidence, to a point within a few feet of the berth of the Manne and anchored them. The torpedoes worn kep- in position by means of buoys, floating cleven feet under water aud ten feet above the anchors used to prevent them from being swept away. The torpedoes wore exploded by contact with the koci of the Maine as she swung at anchor. MUTUALLY ARUEEABLi.-On one of the recent warm days a sourvisaged, middle-aged, fussy woman got on one of the smoking seats on an open car in tho subway, says the Boston Trans cript. Next, to her sat a man who was smoking a cigar. More than that the woman suilliog, made out that the man had been eating onlous. Still more than that, she had the strongest kind of suspilon that he had been drinking boer. The wuman fussed and wriggled and grew angrier, and looked at the man scornfully. Presently she could endure it no longer. She looked equarely at him and said : "If you were my husband, sir, I'd givo yo'l a dose of poison !" The man looked at her. " If I were your husband," said he, " I'd take it 1" -The Senate bas always bcen con trolled by lawyers, and )slaine was at a disad vantage because he did not be long to the profession.

Hie loses heart and courage and~ flesh; pretty soon he feels badl yin his lungs. The doctors~ call it consumuption andl prescribe luing spe-cificq. Bunt what the maini needls is a medicine to go deep down into the foundatiouis of the trouble; clear the p~oisonl out of his blood; wake up his liver, purify, revitalize and buiild up hisa systemi fromt the foundation - stone. Re needs Dr. P'ierce's Golden Medical Discov ery which has curedl innumierable cases of obstinate liver conmplainit which the doctors ding nosedl as hopeless conisumlption. The work of this masterful " Discovery " begins at, the very corner-stone of life in the stomach and nutritive organism. It gives appetite, nourishment, rich blood, healthy solid flesh. A cough is only a sy tupltomi; there are other thin gs that make the cough; tihe)' must bec got rid of first, the cough may lbe the laist thing to go away. Does Dr. P'ierce claim to cure consump tion ? 'Tlat qttestion isn't worth arguting. Look at ikr record. 'Take a case in point. Here is a man (or woman) with a hacking cough, a hectic flush, igh~lt-sweats, great emuacia tion or wasting ofi feshI, spitting of blood, shortness of breath anid all the other symup tomts. After every remedly and every local physician has faile~d lie, as a last resort takes "' Golden Medjical Discovery " and the cough vanishes, the cheek gets back its natural color, ske becomes sotuid amid re freshinig, the spitting of blood stops, flesh and muscles hecome firm, wveighit increases, anld life goes along in quiiet and comnfort to the full limit of the three score years and teni. Int may lbe it wasn't consumption after all ? Mav he it wasn't. You know' it wvas somtethinmg that was attacking the very cit adel of life, and It was something that was cuired by the tuse of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. And Dr. Pierce is cur lng such "'somethings '' right along with a recordl of over a quarter of a million cases, and~ not miore than three per cent. of failures. One fact, at least, is well established. That the "Golden Medical Discovery" does cure weak lungs, bleeding fromn lungs, obstinate, lingering coughs, lary ngit is bronchitis, throat disease, and kindred affections of the air - passages, which, If nieglectedi or badly treated, lead up to con suiptioni, can tie longer be doubted in view of the many thousands of well estab hislied cures of such cases repiorted by the most trustworthy citizens. Maniy of these cases have been pronounced constum ptlon -and incurable-by the best local hysi clans before the sufferers commenced the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden MedIcal Dis More than half a muillion copies of Dr. Pierce's Comumon Sense Medical Adviser were sold at $m.5o each, but a free paper bound editIon is now issued of which a copy wIll be sent absolutely wIthout-charge for the bare cost of mailing-2x one-cent stamps.

A Labor of Love Which Has Been As signed to the Women of the Mouth. The following address to the Daugh ters of the ConieJeracy In South Car olina has juist been issued by the presi dent of the South Carolina division. It will doubtlce result in accompisehing much for the cause so earnestly advo cated: To the South Carolina Division, Un ited Daughters of the Confederacy: Dcar Ladies and Friends : Wit h the purpose of furthering the true aim of the Daughters of the Confederacy, and sending forward a message f.'om the heart and mind of our women, I ask your indulgence for the first words I address to you from the ol110e of honor to which you have called me. If my mind were not so full of the dignity and splendor of the project whic's I present to you for considera tion,, in this letter, I might stop to speak of the personal estimation I have for the position I occupy by your good will and choice. I will allow myself to say that a statesman once remarked to me that a public honor is greater op portunity for more thoroughly serving the public. I believe I shall be doing this in placing before you my conception of the strongest, most enduring and far reaching work in which the Daughters of the Confederacy can engage until it shall be completed. The Jelferson Davis monument has been accepted as our work. I would recommend that we make it The work of the Daughters of the Confederacy. The flowers we throw upon mounds, the medals we bestow in~ kchools, the crutches we put under the soldiers' arms are our wayside flowers. These services relax the heart, engage sy m pathies, enlist many workers. They gratify all, and are right claims upou us. E'very stroke of the artist's brush tells in his picture--not one, light or heavy, but would impair perfection 1i mnissed. Our sweet charities, our local interests, our home monuments, our dear little care of graves are the deli cate shadings which enrich and com plete our wonderful picture-The Con. federacy. Still we must have in it thc big, strong tone which is idealized b.3 thehe tender touches. That is the foun dation of thbeir excellence. Bearch in all directions, a&mong th< gr aces of feeling, or into tho " deopas deptb " of thought, and we find belon the sea of general endorevor, the cable. upon which we rely to send c-.r mes sage into the lives of future men an< women. What is the mescage ? Not to tell them that mnen died an< wongen suffered, but to toll them wha1 they died aud puffered for, and thaL w< pass States' Rights on to them for therr to live for. How shall we ensure the enduranct of our message? How secure it again 4 the hazairds of time and defeat of ob livion ? You shall not alwua be herc to decorate graves of heroes, but wc can leave behind us a witness in ston< -reared to face the whole world which would testify our reverence foi our statesmen and our coIldonce ir their creed. The Jefferson Davis monument is no' the rnemorial of man, but it, is the con crete record of the political faith o the Southern people exemplified ii that one man.

Johnson, of Mul berry, Igdiana, once passed through this unique experience. While suffer ing from an attack of catalepsy Mr. Johnson was declared dead, and as he was lying in his cotln he hoard bis fun oral sermon preached by a brother minister, lie was conscious of what was taking place about him, heard the physician pronounce him dead, and witnessed the preparations made for his burial. The spe11 was broken just after the eulogy had been pro nounced and his restoration to health followed. PITT'S, Antiseptic lnigorator! FOR The Stomach, The Liver, The Bowels, The Kidneys, The Blood.
