Thirty years ugo John IX Rocko
fellor was hardly worth a dollar, and
now he Ih tho richest man in tho United
HtatoH. Whon ho was a poor, plod
ding bookkeeper hin best friends would
not accord hhn any credit for industry
' or sugaolty. What .lohn 1). Kockc
* feller does not know about biu own
wealth would at present make rich
men of those very friends. Ho prob

how much money he is worth, without
extonslvo figuring, says tho Now York
Herald.
John U. Rockefeller Is of Scotch
parentage. His parents carao to this
country shortly boforo the birth of the
future great magnate. Tho family
settled in the western part of the
New York State on a small farm
near Moravliu iloro tho Rockefellers
rapidly iucrcusud until tho family con
sisted of father, mother, two sons and
two daughters.
From Moravia tho Rockefeller family
moved to a farm near Oswego. At
thlB time John D., tho eldost son, was
a tall, slondor lad nlno yoars old. Tho
farmhouse occupied by tho Rocke
fellers at this time Is still standing.
It was then and is still ownod by Mr.
C. M. Lamonto, a woll to do furmor.
It was in his service that young Rocke
feller earned his first 25 conts, hoeing
potatoes. According to a statomont
made afterwards by Mr. Lamonto, tho
boy did tho work slowly, but well.
Among tho neighbors young John
Rockefeller had the reputation of being
a rather lazy boy, but even ut this
early ago ho showed signs of tho
strong will, calm judgment and per
severance that have since made him
famous. Who shall say that oven
while he was hoolng potatoes or plow
ing corn his mind was not so active
that his muscles performed their al
lotted task lazily and mechanically ?
' Endowed with mental activity and
capacities that wero perhups still un
dreamed of by himself, young Rocke
feller began to long for a wider field
of action. It was only a dream as yet.
His idoas wero crude, his character
unformed, his habits unetublo und un
settled. " John is too much of a
dreamer," said tho neighbors. " Ho
will never make a good farmer. While
sowing his wheat ho will be counting
upon the profits of tho coming harvest.
Ho will have it all in the market before
a blade is In sight."
Tho mon who spoke In this wiso are
still planting their corn und sowiug
their wheat about O3wego. Some
havo prospered; othors havo failed and
fallen into poverty. But tho boy who
droumed of unharvosted wheat and
unhatcbod eggs could buy all their
farms rolled into oho for a double price,
and thou allow tho land to lie idle until
tho ond of time without inconvouienc
ing himself in the least.
The father of John D. Rockofellor Is
said to he still living in Cleveland,
although ho has never occupied the
same house with any of this children.
Ho lived and labored in Clevelund
while his family were yet in Oswego.
One day many years ago ho suddenly
mude up his mind that Cleveland was
the best place for his family. At this
time John D. and William Rockofollor
was attending school at the Owego
academy.
The neighbors in Owego regretted
the departure of tho Rockefellers for
Cleveland. Mrs. Rockefeller was a
strong character, woll liked by all,
and a strict disciplinarian of tho old
school. Sh? hrought tho two boys up
religiously and well, and when, after
a six yoars residence In Owego they
started for Cleveland, both John D.
and William wero well behaved young
sters of 14 or 15.
Instead of being ruined by the bustle,
turmoil and temptations of a large
city, the young Rockofellors thrived
under tho new conditions. As for
John, tho older, It was tho very thing
for which his soul had been yoarning.
It was a realization of tho dream that
bad stricken his muscles with lassltudo
in tho old farming days.
Throe years later wo lind Master
John ?. Rockefeller grown Into u
strapping young man of 17. Bis ambi
tions had outgrown the narrow limits
of a public school, and ho made up his
mind to do and daro for himself. Bo
told his mother about It, and then went
his way, looking for a job. It was not
an easy thing to tind a position that
fitted him. ,
SO It was that young Rockofellor
wandered away to St. Louis. Was it
blind cbanco that led him to accept
tho position of bookkeeper for a small
produce commission firm In Water
street V Nothing hotter could havo
been dovised for a thorough training
in business methods. 5 Neither did it
take Rookefollor any length of time to
master everything thore was to bo
known about tho commission business.
He worked early and late on his books
and lo tho study of tho methods of his
employers. He saved his money, too,
and heroin lies tho dilTerenco botween
John D. Rockofellor and many of his
contemporaries, who are still keeping
books in Cleveland.
Young Rockofellor worked with the
Water street commission firm until
he had accumulated something like
$500. ? He was then 1? years old. Time
was flying and Its flight made him
restless. Ho asked himsolf why be
should not go Into business for himsolf
His only inheritance in this world had
boon brains and a good constitution.
With theso ho had acquired tho small
? oapital with which ho proposed to du
wondrous things in tho future
It was in 18f>7 whon John 1). Rocke
feller, then a young man of Hi, mot M.
B. Clark, who is now a moinbor of tbo
, elevator linn of Gardner, Clark 6c
York.
The two young men touted a store
and went Into the commission business
on their own account. They succoeded
Jg a moderate way. Rookefellor con
|^Vnued to save his share of tho profits
Kh ho had saved his salary, and In th
f eight years durlug which tho partner
ship continuod he had put asido some
thing like ?5,000.
Tnen tho young man was again
stricken with a fooling of tho restless
ness. He wua not maU> > money fast
enough. Thocommiss !on business hud
apparently reached it.-t limit. He
looked about him for on investment in
something moro profitable. Dissatis
faction Is sometimes moro ambition
after all.
"Some tlmo before this Rockofcller
had become acquainted with Samuel
Androws, a porter In a commission
store further down the slreot. In tho
urso of a conversation one evening
exprossod his belief that
great future in tho potro
Rookofeller had always
Jiad never beforo oi
conversatlon
Tbo Hrin waa t?orefore dissolved,
Clark buying out Rockefeller's in
terest. Andrews, who had been super
intending tho refinery on a salary, bad
saved u few hundred dollars, and
Rockefeller, knowing him to be' a
pruetieal num. took him In as partner.
Thus tho Standard Oil company
. itnn luto being as a commercial enter
I?rlso, one of its originators a book
cooper hardly moro than a boy, the
other a porter in a commission house
The bookkeeper is now president of
tho company, while the porter lives In
a *:$00,000 residence
At tho time Clark withdrew from
the little refinery the entire property
could not have boon worth muoh more
thuu $5,000. It wus not much of a uost
egg, yet from this humble beginning
has grown tho great Standard Oil
company, with its huudredsof olfsboots
aud its $70,000,000 of capital. So tho
little refinery kept pegging away,
with an over increasing businoss and
an over ambitious management. In
tho meantime, young William Rocko
fellor, who had boon working at a
salaried position In Clevoland, came to
St. Xiouis and took a position In tho
llttlo oil refinery of Rockofellor & An
drews. Tho Investment continued to
I pay a handsome profit, and a year or
I tv/o after beginning business the llrm
had a snug sum in tho bank.
A year or two after Rockofellor and
I Andrews bad joined fortunos they, In
conjunction with William Rockefeller,
established a second refinery, and the
money making business .was greatly
Increased. Tho two establishments
wore finally consolidated, und the
younger brothor, William, was mado a
full fledged mombor of the lirm. A
warehouse for tho sale of refined petro
leum was opened In Now York, aud
William Rockofellor was pluced In
charge of It. John D. was tho business
iicad of the consolidated concern,
while Andrews lookod after tho niaehld
ery and men.
There woro no disagreements or fric
tion. Tho members of tho iirm woro
very llttlo moro than boys, but they
were enthusiastic aud ambitious -to a
degree In their lexicon, as they then
regarded it, there was no such word us
fall. They woro confronted with
failure, however, shortly after tho con
solidation. They had built and pur
chased and planned without regard to
their financial abilities, until finally
they found themsolves In very deep
water. They had spent a great deal
of their llttlo hoard in extending their
business, and were threatened with
ruin boforo they could got returns from
their investments.
Creditors harra3sed them, tholr
funds wero exhausted and their busi
ness was apparently ruined. '' It's no
use," said Andrews. "I guess wo are
in for it. I do not see how we oau tide
things over."
William Rockofellor was gloomily
despondent. One morning Jonn D. ap
peared at the ollico of tho refinery,
carrying a valise.
" Where uro you going ?" asked An
drews.
" I am going to got help," was tho
reply.
Where, ho could not tell. Ho bad
no de fin I to plan. Rut help must bo
had, aud, just as ho hud long boforo
set out to win a fortuno, young John 1).
Rockefeller took his grip and wont
forth to obtain assistance in retaining
tho little ho had already accumulated.
By luck, instinct, good judgment, 07
what you will, he met Mr. S. V. Hurk
ness, a rich whisky distiller, whoso
son-in-law, Henry M.Plagler, was then
doing badly In the salt and lumber
business near Saginaw. Harkncss In
vestigated Rockefeller and the ro
liuory business and made up his mind
that he would take an interest in It for
his son-in-law.
About a month after ho had started
out on his still hunt for money Rocko
fellor returned with Harkuoss' Michi
gan son-in-law and $(10,000 wilh which
to continue the business name of
Rockefeller, Andrews & Flagler.
This was the pivotal point iu tho
fortunos of John 1). Rockofollor, as
well us of Henry M. Flagler. The
money of 11 nr knees and the methods
of Flagler were just what tho petro
leum refinery needed. Previous to
the advent of Flagler tho company
had boon conducted In a somi-seuti
mcntal way. John D. Rockefeller's
heart had not yet hardened Into
granite iu his business dealings, al
though ho was tho principal schemer
in the firm.
It was different with Flagler. Al
though he hud been far from success
ful as a maker of salt aud a sawyer of
logs, he developed remarkable, talents
when it came 'to petroleum. In deal
ing with opposing refiners ho wont au
far as the law would permit. Ho argued
that there was uoithcr friendship nor
fooling in traffic Consequently, when
ho got his businoss onomy in a hole be
squeezed him.
Under these tactics, tho firm of
Rockefeller, Andrews ?Sc Flagler thriv
ed apace Their businoss was extend
ed amazingly, and in a sort of geome
trical progress*on. In 1870 the firm
had become so imposiug and their busi
noss so immense that it wus thought
boot to Incorporate under the &tylo of
" The Standard Oil Company," with a
capital of $1,000,000. Moro consolida
tions followed. They resembled tho
consolidation of tho bird und tho worm,
but they v/eio within tho limits of busi
ness ethics.
During the days when he was a com
mission merchant Johu D. R>ckcfcllcr
had married a Cleveland school teach
er, Miss Lucy Speliman. Tho union
proved a very happy one, and at tho
time of tho incorporation of tiie Stan
dard Oil company he had two little
daughters, Bessie and Alta, who havo
sinco bocomo lovely young women.
Altogether tho Stundard Oll magnate
has had four children. Tho oldest
daughter, Bossie, is the wife of Pro
fessor Charles Strong, who occupies
tho chair of proSSSSOr oi* psyebo'ogy 1 n
the Chicago university. The. youngest
of the four is John I)., Jr., who is now
21 years of flgo. A year or two ago
Ekllth bedamo tho wife of ouo of too
McCormlek boys, of Chicugo.
Mrs. Rockefol/ei is a slight llttlo
woman, with grayish hair that was
once jot black. Her lifo has been do
voted almost exclusively to her hus
band, her oblldrcn, und her household.
She has never figured in the society
columns of the nawspapots or in prent
social events. She has beon giving
money away in charity continually
since her marriage. The idea of one
great concern that should control all

Standard Oil company wad alrondy an
Immensely wealthy corporation whon
this Idea w nri evolved. Shortly after
the company had begun to swallow tho

He still reinainod at tho refineries in

So Andrews, after thlrking the matter
over, offered to eol) his interest., ffc
claimed to be a common, practical
man, while John I). Itookefellcr con

After tho retirement of Andrews
from tho Standard Oil company, the
" consolidations " and extensions con
tinued without cessation, until practi
cally all the petroleum output of this 1
country was under its control. Then
it began to reach abroad for tho con

ORIGIN OF THE CUSTOM.
How the Decoration of Soldier-.'
Graves wus Instituted.
It is a matter of history that Mrs.
Charles J. Williams, of Columbus, Ua.,
instituted tho beautiful custom of do
corating graves with llowors?a custom
which hua boon,adopted throughout tho
United States. Mrs. Williams wus thu
daughter of Major John Howard, of
Columbus, Ca., and was a superior
woman. Sho combined the loveliest
womuuly traits of oharacter with that
8olf-rollanco and determination gen
erally'attributed to tho storner sex.
Sho was liborally educutcd In tho best
schools of Charleston, S. C, and Phila
delphia, and was accomplished in
music, painting und languages. She
married Major C. J. Williamson his
return from the Mexican war. Ho
was a lawyor of high standing and
Speakor of tho House of Representa
tives about tbo time tho war broke,
out. Whllo colonel of tho First Georgia
Regulars in tho army of Virginia he
contracted disease from whloh ho died
In 1802 and was buried in Columbus,
Ga. Mrs. Williams and her little
daughter visited his grave every day,
and of ton comforted themselves by
wreathing It with llowers. Whllo tho
mothor sat thinking of tho loved and
lost ones, the llttlo girl would pluck
tho weeds from the unmarked soldiers'
graves near bor father's and cover
thorn with llowers, calling them "her
soldiers' traves," and say thoy had no
ono elso to caro for them. After a
short while tho dear little girl wus
summond by the angols to join her
father. Tho soroly-boroaved mother
then took chargo of these unknown
graves for the child's sake, and as she
cared for thorn thought of tho patriots'
graves throughout tho South, far
from homo und kindred, and in this
way tho plan was suggested to her of
setting apart one day in each year that
love might pay tribute to valor through
out tho Southern Statos.
In March, 1866, she addressed a com
munication to the daily paper of
Columbus suggesting our "Memorial
Day " custom. Sho then wrote to tho
Soldiers' Aid Societies, aud thoy
responded and reorganized. She lived
long enough to see her plan adopted as
a religious custom of the South, aud
observed from tho l'otomuc to tho Rio
Grande.
Mrs. Williams died April 15, 1874,
and was buried with military honors.
Tho following is tho original eom
inuuieiation written by Mis. Williams
to tho Columbus (Ga.) Times, suggest
ing tho memorial day custom :
COLUMBUS, Ga., March 12, 18(51).?
The ladies aro now and havo been for
several days engaged in tho sad but
pleasant duty of ornamenting and im
proving that portion of tho city ceme
tery sacred to tho memory of our gal
lant Confederate dead, but wo foci It
an unlinishcd work unless u day bo set
apart aunually for its special attention.
Wo cannot raise monumental shafts
and incribo thereon t'ooir many deeds
of heroism, but we can keep allvo the
memory of tho debt wo owo thorn by
dedicating at least ono day iu each
year to embellish thoir humble graves
with llowers. Tbereforo, we beg tho
assistance of the press and tho ladies
throughout the South to aid us iu the
effort to set apart a certain day to be
observed, from tho Potomac to tho Rio
Grande, and bo banded down through
time as a religious custom of tho b' it'
to wreathe tho graves of our mart;. ;< ?
dead with (lowers: and wo propose th
2(ith day of April as tho day. Let every
city, town and villugo join in tho pleas
ant duty. Let all aiiko bo remember
ed, from tho heroes of Manassas to
those who expired amid the death
throes of our hallowed cause. Wo'll
crown aliko the honored resting places
of the immortal Jackson in Virginia,
Johnson at Shiloh, Cleburno in Ten
nessee and tho hosts of gallant privates
that adorned our ranks. All did thoir
duty, and to all we owo our gratitude
L-;t the soldiers' graves, for that day at
least, bo tho Southorn Mecca to whoso
shrine her sorrowing women, like
pilgrims, may annually bring their
grateful hearts and iloral offerings.
And when wo remember the thousands
who aro hurled " with thoir martial
cloaks around them," withoutChristian
coremony or interment, we would in
voke the aid of tho most thrilling
eloquence throughout tho land to in
augurate tho custom by delivering or.
tho appointed day this year a oulogy
on the unhuriod dead of our glorious
Southern army. They died for their
country. Whether or not their country
hud or had not tho right to demand
tho hacrilloo is no longer a question
for discussion. Wu loavo that for na
tions to decide bereufter, but that
theso men laid their lives upon their
country's altar, and aro ontitled to
their country's gratitude, nono will
deny.
The proud banner under which they
rallied in defense of the holiest and
noblest cause for which tho horocs
fought, or trusting women prayed, has
been furled forever. The country, for
which they Buffered and died has now
no name or placo among the nations of
tho earth. Legislative enactments
may not be' made to do honor to thoir
memories, but the veriest radical that
ever traced his genealogy back to the
deck of tho May Flower could not re
fuse us tbo simple privilege of paying
honor to tl oso whodled defending the
life, honor and happiness of tho South
ern women.

PURITY IN POUTICS ANO POLITICIANS.
MKN WHO ABE NOT WANTED IN
HIGH PLACES.
irthe Country Would Prosper It Muse ;
Wipe Out Prevailing Practice* mid i
Heek a Higher Plane.
Rev. W. G. Neville, of Yorkville,
?preached the following sormon recent
ly In the Presbyterian obureh of that
town :
" Righteousness oxalteth a nation ;
but sin is a roproaeh to any people."?
l'rov. xlv, 34.
Wo are taught by revelation, history
und common sense that good govern
ment is ono of the greatest and most
valuable blessings which we eau pos
se.-s. it is something for wblob every
person should pray and labor. With
out it, nothing iu this world can bo
securo. iLlfe, liberty, property aud the
pursuit of happiness aro all dependent
on it. Without it thero oun bo no
real prosperity. Even the progress
and welfare of the Klugdom of Godin
this world are, In a sense, dopendent
on It. Without It, thore can be no
pormunont basis upon which to build
the-social, commercial and moral In
terests of mankind. Without it, theVo
oan be nothing but disorder, confusion,
uncertainty and anarchy.
Thoroforo, wo cannot shirk tho re
sponsibilities of citizenship. "Govern
ment is ono of tho means of God's
righteous administrations among men,
and loyalty to God demands that tho
obligations of citizenship bo discharg
ed." " For thero is no power but of
God ; tho powers that bo aro ordained
of God." Such is tho teaching of Di
vlno rovolatlon.
You aro required by tho Bible to
pray for those in authority. But you
must back up your prayors by your
works. It Is your duty, thoroforo, to
put men In office who will rollout right
eousness both In their characters and In
their lives. What guarantee havc-you
that your prayers for wicked, worth
less rulers will bo answered whon you
dollboratoly put this kind of mou lu
olllco ?
Two things are essontial to good
govormcnt.
1. Good laws. You must havo thoso
as a basis upou which to build <?ood
government. It matters not what you
have, without good laws, you oauuot
have good government; without good
and righteous laws, your government
will nocossarilly bo built upon a foun
dation of sand.
2. Compotont men to administer and
enforce loose laws. I uso this word
competent, in its broadest sense. A
good law which remains on tho statute
books as a doad letter, to all practical
purposes, is no better than a bad law.
lu order to havo good govornmont, we
must not only havo good laws ; but we
must also havo men in olllco who will
see to it that these laws aro vindicated
and enforcod.
When wo look around us and seo tho
corruption that prevails In politics and
tho low piano upon which our politi
cal campaigns aro projected and con
ducted ; when wo seo tho scramble for
oJli^o and tho unscrupulous methods
whieh aro used to securo olllco; when
wo seo how many Incompetent mon aro
put in ollico, the moral obliquity
which pervades their sentiments and
tho corruption which is practiced In
thoir oiliciul acts, it must bo evident
to evory right minded and thinkiug
man that thero is an urgent demand
for a change all along the Hue; It is
high time for tho people to riso up in
their sovereign power and bring to
right these things which are wrong.
Tho troublo is not in our laws. As a
rulo, they are good, wise and whole
some. Tho troublo is in their admin
istration. Wo ought to bu moro care
ful us to tho kind of men wo put in
otlico. The people aro responsible for
tho character aud conduct of their
rulers in such a government as we
havo. It becomes us, thoroforo, to
make a practical application of our
religious principles in tho selection of
mon to till the ollicesin our govorment.
"We ought not to take politics, in the
technical sen.-e into our religion : but
it is very certain that wo ought to
, tako practical souse, into our politics."
Why is it that our campaigns uro
conducted upon suCh a low moral plane
?where profanity, slander and drunk
enness seem to bo at a piomium? Why
is It? Is It becauso the candidates
\ iv not tho ability to discuss ques
; ich bear directly upon tho
interests of tho nation';' Is
truu statesmanship a lost art? Aro
all of our statesmen doad ? Or, is it
because they lind such foul atmosphere
more congenial to their natures? Or,
is it becauso they are telling tho truth
on each other? It matters not what
the reason may be, it Is high time tho
peoplo wero taking somo aggressive
steps towards lifting politics out of
this dirty hole and putting them upon
a piano of moral decency and true
statesmanship. It is time for this
blatant blasphemy and debasing de
bauchery and scurrilous slander to bo
eliminated from our politicul cam
paigns. Tho Christian public ought
to spoak In no uncertain bounds on
these vi?,al matters. " Righteousness
exalteth a nation; but sin is a roproaeh
to any people."
Ono of tho representatives from the
commonwealth of Kansas iu tho United
States Sonato, it Is said, gave uttor
anco to these sentiments : "Tho puri
fication of politics is an Irredesoent
dream. Government is foroo. Politics
is a battle for supremacy. Parties arc
tho armies. [Now listen.] The deca
logue and the golden rule havo no
placo In a political campaign." If this
sentiment is true, then political cam
paigns aro sinful, or tho Bible is false
in its teachings. When l hear suoh
sentiments, 1 fool like saying what ao
old gcntloman said in open meeting
ono day. Uo was accustomed to speak
out his approval or disapproval : cn
ho was deeply Impressed. Ono Uaj a
strange preacher came along and in
his sermon gave utterance to a sonti
mont whieh this.old brother th night
very herotical and dangerous, He
arose boforo tho congregation and said
with earnestness: "Thank tho Lord
that Is a Ho." So whon a man says:
"Tho Ten Commandments and tho ser
mon on the mount havo no placo in a
political campaign," l fool like say
ing, "Thank the Lord that is a lio."
Unscrupulous politicians would have,
tho peoplo to divorce religion from
everything that is commuted with tho
management of tho govornmont. Tho
Blblo says : " Whatsoovor ye do, do
all to tho Glory of God." But too
many pooplo aro following In tho foot
steps of tho politician . Thoy aro
leaving roltglon out of thoir everyday
llvos. It is rolated that a llttlo girl
who was about to leave Now Jersey for
a summer vacation in Now Bigland,
said In her prayer tho night boforo
her journoy: "Good-bvo, Gol, IVn
going to Maine." "That is wh\l
many men and women practically say
when thoy p"opcso to do anything not
definitely religious. Thoy believe that
God and business, God and politics,
and God and pleasure aro and must bo
dlvorcod. This Is why tho buflness
operations of Christian mon aie so
often in violation of tho dccaloguo ;
why polities appear to'many to bo so
godless; why plouwre Is so worldly
and antl-splrltual." Ah ! I toll you,
there is a crying demand for some
revolutionary ohangos in tho senti
ments, principles and nraotlcos of
many who profess to be governed by
the- truths of the Bible !
Why is it that politics have boeomo
so corrupt? ,Tt Is because tho peoplo
havo left morality out of thorn and
havo turned their management over to
unscrupulous politicians and dema
gogues. And this vory thing Is one aL
tho porlls that oonfront us a natltSI
today. The people ought to have tluRS
candidates for office to understand that
uuIobs thoy do what thoy can to con
duct the campaign on a plane of moral
deoency, taat they need not expect to
receive tt elr suffrages. The people
ought to ..-undomu in the strongest
terms tho use of intoxicating liquors
In oluctlons. Wo ought to resolve that
wo will support no man and party that
will use whiskoy In political campaigns.
It is said thero Is a certain county in
North Carolina where tbo two great
political partlos were aoout of equal
strength. No ono could toll bow the
nlootlon was going until it had gone.
Each party used a groat deal of whis
key to oarry the election. Tho thing
became a public disgrace. Thero was
a roltglous body In the county who
became so thoroughly disgusted that
they determined to right matters, if
possible. They took upon themselves
a solemn vow that thoy would support
no party whieh used intoxicating 11
qqors to carry the election. Thoy wero
strong enough to hold the balance of
power. What was the ro*ult? They
woro tho cause of ruling this infernal
agency out of tho campaigns. No man,
no party, darod, after this, to use it.
Sometimes, f think it would ho well if
wo could form in this State a uuiou of
some kind which would sot its face to
wards tho defeat of auy man, or party
that resorts to dishonest methods to
carry tho oleotion.
Wo nood never expoct to havo tho
vory best government until thero aro
somo radical chunges along tho lines
which I havo just iudicuted.
What kind of mon should ho elected
olllco V
1. Men of good, upright, moral char
acter ; mon of integrity ; men of high,
noble purposes, who will not stoop to
do mean, questionable things. One
trouble with us as a nation 1ms boon
right bore. Wo havo boen putting
mon Into ofllco regardless of their
moral oharactor ; and tho consequence
has been In some instuncos our highest
ullloos havo been Oiled with men who
havo boon rot ton and thoroughly cor
rupt In their lives. Wo have put them
in tho highest ofliees who have beou
just as guilty, and of tho sumo sin us
?rcckonrldgo of Kentucky, though
they may not havo been as bold and
bra/. >n. Yot, it is an open secret that
mon who havo occupied high places In
our State havo boon habitual adulter
ers. What an example to tot to the
rising generation ! Wo soud a man to
ropresont us at Washington, o. g., and
wo know his moral oharactor is rotten
and his life full lowdncss ; and then wo
ask God to bless him in his work. We
put a man in oflico who is to all prac
tical purposes an atheist and an inli
del; and then wo ask God to bless him
in his work. I tell you, this is one of
tho borderland of sacrilogo.
Wo ueod men in olllco who are right
and who will daro to do right, who will
not only do right in their oilicial acts :
whoso privato lives aro puro and ubove
suspicion. And instead of a?kii;g our
question, etc., you had hotter ask the in
how thoy stand on the Ten Command*
monts and the Sormon on the Mount.
I submit the following as au appropri
ate catechism for our candidates :
1. Aro you an honest man ?
2! Do you pay your debts?
3. Are you a profuno swearer?
4. Are yon a slanderer?
5. Are you a liar ?
l>. Are you an adulterer ?
7. Do you got drunk ?
1 think it would be for the highest
interest of the country if tho people
would subordinate for awhile the
money question and emphasize and
exalt the moral question.
Thero is a more urgent demand for
reform in our morals than in our
money. We need mon of character in
our public offioes. Tho moral oharac
tor of a government can't riso above
the character of its rulers. A country
morally degenerate will not long re
main prosperous. When vice increases,
then tho country deoliues. lntidel
rulers cannot Increase tho wealth of
tho peoplo in any respect. National
safety must consist in national ac
knowledgment of the Divine suprem
acy."
2. Men who aro intellectually quali
fied. Mon who aro competent to lill
tho ollicc8. I use tho word competent
hero In its limitcel sonso. It is not
onough for a man to have a good, sound,
moral character : ho must have other
qualifications. " A pious fool may be
as injurious to tho State as a wicked
philosopher." What is the use in
sending a man to the Legislature, it
matters not how good ho may be, if ho
is not competent to do the work which
you send him there to do ? What is
tho uso In sending u man to Congress,
or to the United States Senate, if ho is
not qualified to do tho work you want
done thero? It would ho far better to
tako tho money which you pay these
men and spend It for somo charitable
purpose. Many mistakes havo boon
mado rigt along this lino. Wo havo
put moo into olllco who havo been al
together incompetent to perform the
duties of the olllcos to which.thoy have
boon oleoteel. You need never expect
to havo good government until you put
men in olllco who are competent, not
only from a moral point of view, but
also from an intellectual point of view.
:i. Mon of courage. Sometimes you
put a man in olllco who in a certain
senso is competent both morally and
intellectually; but ho is lacking in
moral courage Ho is one of theso
goody-goody, namby-pamby kind of
men. What ho needs is moro back
bone, moral courage?courage to stand
up to his convictions; courage to elo
tho right regardless of the consequence s
?courage le> enforce tho law, it mat
tors no', who is punished.
Hut how many aro lacking just here!
How frequently is it tho case that
officers of the law aro parties to the
violation of the law ! Thoy aro law
breakers themselves. They have
sworn to uphold and enforce the law :
but they aro a partieeps cri minus to
its violation. Not only aro they law?
breakers, but they are perjurer*! We
dOu't have to go far to seo this. There
is a crying demand for a change just
hero. Wo need in ofllco men of moral
Courage, not, only men of sound moral
character and competent iu mental
training aud attainment., but men who
havo Mio fortitude to stand up at all
hazard-, for the majesty of the law and
see) that it is faithfully administered
anel enforced.
Such ollicers would be a standing ro
buko to lawbreakers and they would
bo a terror to evil elocyrs.
God grant that tho peoplo may make
a faithful effort to get such mon into
olllco?mon e>f sound, moral character ;
men possessed of all the intellectual
qualifications that aro essential, men
of high moral courage. Character,
education, courage?theso aro tho es
sential qualifications for public olllco.
God grunt that tho people may roach
tho point whoro thoy will put princi
ple above tho party, morals abovo mon
and patriotism ubove partisans!p.
Then wo will have a country upon
which will rest tho rlchost blessings
of our God.
It will notcuro every thing. It is not
claimed that it will cure but ono com
plaint, that Is, dyspepsia. Wo cannot
say that It will euro ovory case of dys
pepsia, but it will cure a large major
ity of them. Such cases as aro adapt
ed to its use will derive immodlato
benefit. Ono small bottle will bo
sufficient to test it.

Highest of all in Leavening Power.?Latest U. S. Gov't Report
PrftHl Baking
Powder
kv ans bays IT is a lie.
Ho Denies the Story Circulated About
His Making a Political Deal in
Charleston.
Bpecia! to Columbia Register.
PlCKENS, S. 0., Aug. 13.?It is a
political axiom that a man novor knows
what a desperate and disreputable
character be Is until ho offers him6clf
for publlo office. Evory candidate has
to devote more or less of his time deny
ing stories circulated about him, which
originate no man knows whore, but
which spread from person to person,
from place to place, growing in pro
portion as thoy swiftly oirculate. Every
candidate In this canvass has experi
enced this, especially those v/ho stand
for tho more prominent offices.
Gov. Evans especially baa been the
target for many of those slabs in the
back. Tho latest one, Originating no
body knows where and which nobody
fathers, is to tho elTect that ou tho
Saturday after tho Marion mooting
Gov. Evans wont to Columbia and at
tho Mansion met a delegation of Oer
I man-Americans from Cuurleston and
was In conference with them until 2
o'clock in tho morning. Tho numos of
tho delegation aro given as Wehman,
Kroog, Ltoesslor aud Stolliug. Tho
story goes that Gov. Evans promised
them that if thoy would form a club of
600 Germans in Charleston who would
vote for him for United States Senator
ho would see that tho Germans iu
Charleston wero given tho benefit of
" private dispensaries," whatever that
may mean. It is said that the club is
being organized or bus boon already.
Gov. Evans was told of tho story and
ho had tho following to say about it:
" Tho whole thing is an infernal lio. I
have not seen those men since the
campuign began. They were In Colum
bia boioro that and called on tno at my
office, but not at tho Mansion. They
asked mo what 1 was going to do about
Charleston and I told them, as 1 had
said before, that if metropolitan polico
proved a failure In enforcing the Dis
pensary law in Charleston, I would re
commend somo special legislation for
that city. It would be foolish to con
tinue to try and enforce a law where it
was impossible to do so. That is all
that thoro is in it. If I had wanted
to make a deal in Charleston 1 would
have not gouo to theso men, but to the
loaders of tho ring there, who came to
mo at the Charleston Hotel and olfcrod
to deliver over Charleston's vote to
mo, lock, stock and barrel, provided i
would give them tho managers of olec
lion audit ho control of the local patron
TnE Cotton Tie Fight.?The ques
tion of the utility of the wire cotton
tie against the Hat steel tie now scorns
to bo pretty thoroughly settled. A
tost of binding a halo or two has also
been made in Georgia, and it proved
oven more satisfactory than that made
In this Stute. These bales aro to be
put through tho cotton compress In
Augusta and will probably be more
favorably commented upon than those
pressed in Charleston, as tho wire useu
is larger and more lloxlblo.
The resolutions of tho Charleston
Cotton exchange, published yesterday,
while, they are not exactly what the
advocates of tho wire tie would have
liked to have, indicato what may be
oxpeotod when tho cotton gees to the
ports tied with wire. The crop is go
ing to bo short, however, and the farm
ers know that tho buyers are not goin<;
to refuse to purchase the cotton. At
the same time they aro not after send
ing tho cotton to market in any im
proper shape. The one thing that thoy
are a unit on is that thoy do not.intend
to give the steel tie trust one dollar ;
they havo determined to li>jht the trust
to the. bitter end, let the light cost
what it may.
Col. D. P. Duncan, tho manager of
tho State Alliance exchange, in ordoi
to get a full supply of the ties on the
market in tho shortest time possible,
will leave tomorrow for tho east, lie
goes on to visit oue of tho largest con
cerns in this country, which has offered
special inducements on tho kind ol
wirejthat tests havo proven to bo nee
essary. This company has offered te
put tho wire up In noat bundles, ami
will do anything that is deemed best
In tho making of a proper catch oi
buckle. Col. Duncan will consult with
those wire people and act at once. He
hopes to havo the tics in hand ready

" Milk and Honey."?Thoro i6
tnore significance in tho Biblical ix
pression uf "a land that il ws wit!
milk and honey " thau is generally
understood. It is a physical or diges
tive so to speak, significance For
there is a connection between uii;k and
htuoy that makes tho latter of muel
more value as a food when the relation
botween tho two is understood. It
exists in the fact that honey in largt
quantities can bo eaten by anyone woo
will drink sweet milk freely at the
same time.
Just what tho naturul affinity bo
tween tho two is, in a gastronomioal
sonBe, wo do not know, but we do know
that sweet milk is a good antidote for
what otherwise would bo an ovordosc
of honey. Whether tho ancients knew
of this huppy connection between flu
two articles of food they have associat
ed In immortal vorse of course is un
known. But from tho fact that milk
and honey unite in tho human systom
without painful or injurious effect, it
is quito probablo that they did.
