In the United States Circuit Court in Charleston Friday morning, Judge Brawley, presiding, overruled a mo tion for a new trial made by Attor ney John P. Grace on behalf of A. M. Arnold, alias William Smith, alias Linnaes Ivy, convicted on April 6th of altering a postoffice money order, and sentenced to be confined at hard labor for two years at the Atlanta penitentiary. The Court, however, ! directed Marshall Adams to defer ex ecution of the sentence for a few days in order to afford the convicted man the opportunity of submitting expected affidavits from the keeper of the Alleghany county, Penn., work house, and from the chief of police at Sharon, Pa., which, the prisoner claims, will prove that he was serv ing a two months’ sentence in the Alleghany county work house at the time of the commission of the of fence for which he was recently con victed.

Former South Carolinian Looking For ward to a Visit to His Native State. Editor Ledger:—Again I ask per mission through tile columns of The Ledger to let my friends hear from me. I feel safe when I say that ail my friends are subscribers to The Ledger. I think that all Cherokee peo ple are readers of The Ledger, or at least they should be, not only read ers, but subscribers. Friends. I am expecting in the near future a visit to my native State, South Carolina, and am looking forward to the time with great eagerness. What a pleas ure, what a consoling power to those away from home to feel, and know, it permitted through the mercies of God, they are soon to visit their friends, and loved ones! After being away from home for a certain length of time, what a pleasure to return, and meet those with whom we have associated and to have the opportu nity of demonstrating our apprecia tion with fond greetings and hearty hand shakes. As is perfectly natural with all of us, the thought of home is sacred to the memory. It always fills my very soul with joy. How grateful we should he; how thankful to the Su preme Ruler of the universe ought we to he for a home, sweet home! We may sometime think it is hard that we cannot always be at home, but when we consider it more sensibly, it is then we realize that it is the di recting hand of God pointing out to us the way of success in this life. Readers, you know that God has promised to be “a husband to the widow, and a father to the orphan.” and sometimes when we are allowed to go from home God is providing in His mysterious way. When we feel that we are doing better in a way that enables us to supply ourselves with the necessities of life, then we must admit that it is a special ful fillment of the Almighty’s declara tion. Home means more than a place to stay, and a place to visit. Home should always he held in fond re membrance, no matter how poor in this world’s goods, no matter how humble the fare may be, it is home just the same. Yes, home is sacred for many reasons. It is where we were given our existence, it is where we were guided, directed and taught right from wrong in our childhood. The precious word teaches us to train a child in the way that it should go and when it grows older it will not depart from it. Fathers and mothers. I appeal to you, let your ex ample. your acts, your influence, and your life he just what you would have your sons and daughters to be. How many men and women come un der my observation today who have entered upon life’s duties, to he thrown into the society of the world, without having had the proper teach ings while under the parental roof. I ask the question: Are not fathers and mothers to a great extent re sponsible for the lives that their children live? I believe so. I attended the launching of the battleship Virginia on the 5th inst.. and as many were talking and laugh ing 1 was thinking that it was anala gous to the time when boys and girls ar set free as men and women to go out on the ocean of life, to success or failure. If the building of that ship was not done properly it will he a failure; if correctly done it will he a success. So it is with men and women. When I say success I do not mean position. I do not mean money, hut 1 mean that which constitutes true manhood and womanhood. I have nothing to say against money, 1 have nothing to say against position; I love to see any one rise. Money is a good thing when used in the right way, hut when it is not, it proves a curse to any man. Young man, let me advise you while you are aiming high, pulling to reach the top round in the ladder of fame, do not forget to do it hon estly. Be honest with your employer, he honest with yourself, he honest with all with whom you come in con tact, and you will come out all right iii the end. Character and princi pal are far better than all the money in this world. It is well to have both, hut if we must sacrifice character and principal in order to make money, then it is far better that we never have any. So many think that if they can only have plenty of money they are all right. So they are in this life; but some day they will have to put down all they [jossess in this world and answer the call of God. As I watched that man-of-war plough through the waves, launching out upon the deep, tears came in my eyes. Just as the last chock was re moved and that monstrous structure began to move toward the wa ter’s edge, every whistle in the har bor began to blow and in every di rection you looked you could see the hand of some one pointing upward waving a flag, applauding the Vir ginia as it floated out on the water to hear the fag of this great nation. When we launch out into life let us be a blessing and not a failure. JT B. King. Pinners Point, Va. II STATE S. S. CONVENTION. Program of the Twenty-Seventh An nual Meeting in Columbia.
