T« Subscribers. Ail subscribers to this paper should have already received or will receive within a few days statements of their accounts. A number have already made settlements, and we hope that others will respond promptly. The accounts are all in small sums nnd each one can be settled without mat erial efforts on the part of those in debted to us. The large number of these accounts due makes the aggre gate sum quite large and it Is important that we make collections. car. Statements of this kind do a great deal of ham and produce discontent, and what makes the mat ter worse is the fact that they are nearly always untrue. If Mr. Dixon wants to live nnder a paternal gov ernment, we suggest Russia as a gx>d place for him to live. He would be a shining light in tho ranks of the Third Party. He would be welcomed with open arms. Judges Izlar and Gary, in recent decisions, have agreed with Judge Hudson that the Dispensary act failed to provide punishment for the liquor ssellers. The Governor will hardly accuse Judge Gary of being prejudiced against the present ad ministration. Let It Werk Beth Ways. Fu man University has thrown open its doors to female students and it is reported that Wofford Col lege contemplates doing the same. We trust that the Greenville Female Coliege and Converse will show themselves abreast of the times and open their doors to the boys. It is ? of air that the girls should te given a monopoly in the study of art and music and the boys should certainly bp allowed a chance to*cul- tivate their taste in this direction. When the strong minded young woman of the twentieth century goes to call on the object of her adoration he will need all the help that can come from a knowledge of how to manipulate the piano or gui tar, especially if he is bashful. By all means the boys should have a chance to make themselves accom plished and fascinating, in order that they may make use of their ‘ Chaims to beguile the members of what will soon be the sterner sex. Seasatleiallsm la tke Pulpit. Dr. Talmage has for a good many years enjoyed the distinction of being the most sensational preacher in New York, but his laurels have been taken from him by Rev. Thomas Dickson who has recently made him' self conspicuous by delivering politi cal harangues under the guise of ser mons. Mr. Dixon has ability but is painfully lacking the knowledge of what the utterances from the pulpit ought to be. The duty of one who is called to the high work of the ministry is to preach the gospel and point the way to that higher and pur er life that comes from a better un derstanding and practice of the pre cepts of christainity. With the set tlement of economic and political questions he, as a minister, has noth ing whatever to do, and when he yields to the temptation to discuss them from the pulpit, he not only impairs his own usefullness and in fluence but retards the work of the church as well. Political and finan cial problems can be better settled by those who have made a study of them and who not only have wisdom and experience, bnt are conscientious as well Jnst to give a specimen of Mr. Dixon’s style of preaching we men tion a statement he made a few weeks ago, in which he said that it cost some young men, from New Jersey ten Dollars each, to go to the World’s Fair in a box car, whereas in Hun gary they could have traveled the same distance in a palace car for five Dollars. The reason for this he said was that the government owned the railroads. It is only the nobility and very wealthy people who nse first class cars in Eurepe and the young men would have made the trip, had they been in Hungary/ in a third The Atlaitic Ceast Llie. There was a blizzard up north and the New Englander was in a hurry to snuff the roses at Charleston and Savannah and see the alligators and pick oranges in Florida. “I’ve studied these guide books till I’m blind,” he said “I wish some old traveller would tell me in a word how to go South easy.” “I’ll tell you,” I said; “I’ve been (here a thousand times.” “Well, how?” “Why, jnst throw that guide bodk away. There isn’t, and never been, nor ever will be, but one great straight coast line to Florida, Havan nah. New Orleans, Galveston and Mexico.” “What’s that?” Why, the ‘Atlantic Coast Line.’ Now, yon just go into any ticket of fice in New York or Boston and ask for that coast line ticket Then pin it onto your coat collar, jump onto the Pennsylvania road and you’ll be in St Augustine picking oranges or at Tampa, Florida, walking onto Havanna steamer in twenty-four hours. “What will I see on the way ?” “Why you’ll slide through Wash ington and see Arlington Heights, Alexandria, Fredericksburg, where Hooker and Burnside tried to cross the Rappahannock. You’ll glide through Richmond, see Petersbnrg and the Wilderness fortifications. You’ll see Goldsboro and be within a few miles of Appomattox and then drop down to Wilmington on the ocean. On you’ll go sniffing the ocean breezes all the way to Char leston with its palmettoes, and vannah with its beautiful live oaks and hanging moss. You aie in the tropics from Wilmington down to Jacksonville, Palatka and St. Au gustine, or around on the Gulf o: 1 Mexico to New Orleans and Galves ton. “And no trouble at all ?” “Not a bit You step into the Pnllman at Jersey City and walk out of*it in Florida.

It is the Sea Island cotton line, the rice and the palmetto line. It is the antipodes, and that is what the live Yankee is looking after.” “Does the Coast Line make time ?” “Why, it destroys time. It kills it dead: Trains on time. Well, when the Atlantic Coast train pulls into Jacksonville over the Plant sys you will see the mayor and common council standing there waiting to set their watches by the train, and if the train is five minutes late the whole State of Florida waits for it.”—Eli Perkins’ Syndicate Letter.
