With the passing of Major Charles t H. Smith, of Cartersville, Ga., better 6 ? known to the reading public as "Bill " d Arp," a notable figure of the old n g Southland goes out of the public gaze, b l" and the South is poorer because of his " death. He wa3 a connecting link be- t n tween the periods that marked the v s- ante-bellum and the post-bellum peri- s ods of Southern history. An "unrecon- * ,e structed rebel" he remained to the ^ e last. Yet his sympathies were always 0 > with the young, the progressive, the n e modern. He saw with clear vision the ; ' n ; c f. tremendous possibilities of Southern I a l- development, when others halted on i on threshold of progress, afraid to ut- ' a * ter the talisman, "open-sesame" that ! s t-! promised to unlatch the matchless " e treasure house of the future. j c ? "Bill Arp" was a seer and a prophet, i He was more?he was a philosopher.

From the time tat he asked "Mr. Linkho^ for a ?etle more time" to the present day. 1! have looked to him to express what iiey feel. At first those letters were Titten in the Jcsh Billings style of pelling, but this was afterwards laid side. ORIGIN OF BILL ARP. ine lion oe piume tsm Arp w?j dopted in this way: When President Jncoln called for volunteers at the utbreak of the war, Mr. Smith, who as living at Rome, Ga., wrote a luicrous criticism on the call. He read he article to a group of friends on the troet corner, and after a hearty laugh hey begged him to publish it; but he aid he was not willing to have his ame signed. In the crowd, attracted y the reading, was a country wag Amed Bill Arp, who suggested that ils name be put to ?. At once the ignatiire became popular. The Courier-Journal said of his letrrs to Artemus Ward in 18C5, that "it >aa the first chirp of any bird after the urrender, and gave relief and hope to housands of drooping hearts." Anther paper said: "Hi3 writings are a elightful mixture of humor and philosophy. There is no cynicism in his latere, and he always pictures the uightcst side of domestic life, i?nd enourages his readers to live up to it ml enjoy it." Bill Arp told much about himself nd his family in his letters, which he ont out for thirty years. They were talking letters," as Coleridge would all them. "HOME WITHOUT MOTHER." He bought a farm at Cartersville, la., in 1ST3 and there he lived and rrote until within the last few years, rhen he moved to town. His late omo, "The Shadows," Is situated on 'rwin street.and has a large sloping iwn studded with giant oaks.

Three of the latter are negro passengers. The dead: Engineer H. C. Brickman, Fireman Fred Rhyne, Postal Clerk C. J. Smith and three unknown negroes. The injured: White?Juliu3 John son, of Rock Hill, S. C., perhaps fatally; W. L. Slaughter. Hickory Grove. S. C., seriously; Fred Poag, Lancaster, S. C.; P. W. Spcnce, Roddy's, S. C.; J. N.

C.; Alec Hurdy, McConnellsville, S. C. All the bodies have been taken out, save those of the engineer and fireman. The train consisted of an engine and three cars. It left Rock Hill about 11 o-'clock. with about 40 passengers on hoard. When the train had passed out upon the trestle the entire structure under the cars gave way, hurling the engine and cars to the bank of the creek, about 50 feet below. Engineer Henry Brickman, Fireman Fred Rhyne and three negro passengers were instantly killed. Conductor Ed. Turner suffered a broken shoulder, and W. T. Slaughter, of Hickory Grove, S. C., and Julius Johnson, of Rock Hill, S. C.. were perhaps fatally injured. Marvin H. Morrow, of Blacksburg, S. C.; T. C. Hicks, of Lancaster, and R. A. Willis, of Edgemoor, S. C., have broken bones, while a dozen or more other passengers were less seriously injured. B. F. Willifcrd, of Charlotte, who was slightly injured, displayed rare presence of mind in helping the passengers. Of a half-dozen young men equally lucky, he was the only one to try to assist the ladies and injured men. He told the terrified passengers in the flrst-clas3 coacij that the danger was over, and that he was there to see them to safety. He helped several young men out of the wreck, and tried to get them to help him with others, but they selfishly went off and left him to struggle alone until help came from the outside. Yorkville people went down in buggies and worked for hours extricating the dead and injured from the wreck and affording all possible relief.

If God hath made of one blood the nations of the earth He hath also established unto them the metes and bounds of their habitation. He did not intend that antagonistic races should live together. The prejudice of race is a pointing of Providence and the antagonism of peoples Is the fixed policy by which God peoples the different portions of the universe and establishes the individuality of the nations. The act that it-.ht tionnlo in wit or on th:s continent was a sin of the fathers, a sin of greed, an iniquity of trade? and the sorrow and sutlering of the present is for the sin of the past, a sin against nature and a sin against God. The curse can be lifted only when nature is vindicated and God is obeyed. The problem will be solved only when the negro is restored to 'the bounds of his partition.' "Neither impossible nor impracticable. The elements are willing and the way is in reach. This is not a day of impossibilities. The hand of the Almighty is steadily opening the way. "It may be that the islands of the sea were placed by Providence in our keeping to furnish an answer to the problem of the time. "The South is neither cruel nor unpatriotic and the North knows it. The North is neither immovable nor vindictive, and the South knows it. If either of us is mistaken, and if both of us are misunderstood, we are yet one people, and wo must meet upon the plain of our brotherhood, and our destiny of our mighty race. This i$. our country.
