A LETTER FROM ACROSS
THE WIDE ATLANTIC.
THE OLD WORLD AS VIEWED
CLOSELY BY AN INTELLIGENT
OBSERVER.
Editor County Record:?
To the American student a visit
to Europe is the realization of a lifetime
dream, for it really means a
journey through classic lands. Judaism
and Christianity in their origin
1 ' 1 ovn inconornhlv

connected with the lands and places
visited,Spain, Puteoli, Rome, Naples.
Florence. Yenice.etc,represent a mul;
titucle of interests from the early
dawn of. human history down to the
present time; but to many in our
party, mostly teAchers, their charm
Krows out of their relation to literature
and history.
We sailed with a party of seventeen
Texans and twenty-six from other
States, from New York on the
"Berlin," the most elegant steamer
in the Mediterranean trade. The
voyage was a fine one?the finest
ship, excellent fare, good service, a
smooth sea, cool breezes. Some from
your State sailed on smaller steamers
.
and had a longer voyage on their
slow boats. On our voyage we
,
called at the Azores, which were a
welcome sight, with coast towns,
r
vine-clad hills and snow-capped
r&; f.
mountains. A few days later Portugal
and Spain, then a stop at Gibral,"
1
tar, the greatest fortress in the
world, forever linked with the name
of Nelson, argus-eyed with 365 cannon
to stand guard over the narrow
strait through which so much of the
commerce and travel of the world
mast pass. Paul in the 24th chapter
of Romans, and 24th to 28th verses,
speaks of a journey to Spain. We
were here on Sunday and some of
our party visited the Spanish national
game, a "bull fight," where four
bulls and five horses were killed and
one man seriously gored. Over
20,000 people were present.
Algiers, the queen of North Africa,
which, the Arab says, is a "diamond
set in emeralds," the city be|
ing the diamond and the green hills
the emeralds. Here European culture
has trampled over Moslem life,
as was evidenced by what was seen
in Gibraltar. As we steamed toward
Naples,we passed between Sicily and
Sardinia, where we had a fine view
of houses on the Sardinian coast especially.
Early on Wednesday morning
we entered the far-famed Bay
of Naples,landing not very far from
Puteoli, where the great Apostle
Paul landed on his journey to Rome.
Apart from the charm and beauty of
Naples is that wonder of wonders,
Vesuvius, and Pompeii. The proverb
will ever remain true: "He who has
1
not been in Naples has not seen Ita
are covered with brightly painted I
pictures. Here are a number of old 1
wine rooms and many surgical instruments
which are used at the
present time. We felt like saying,
"There is nothing new under the
sun." The bodies in stone of those '
buried, giving their expression of ,
agony in that fearful hour, horses, ]
dogs, mice and too many things to <
mention in an article of this kind, (
were found.
Rome, "the Eternal City," once ,
the metropolis of the world and afterward
the spiritual empire of the
Popes,is situated on the Tiber. It 1
dates back to 754 K C, probably beyond
that time. Thousands of objects
interest us in this ancient city
which it would be impossible to '
crowd into a ewspaper article. The '
Roman Forum and the Palace of the
Caesars now being excavated, the ;
Coliseum, St Peter's Cathedral, the
Vatican, the seat of ecclesiastical :
power of the Roman Catholic church,
St Paul without the Gates, St John
the Lateran, the Pantheon and other
points can but be merely mentioned.
I drove down the Appian Way which
St Luke mentions in the last chapter '
of Acts,where Paul met the brethren
I
from Rome. I also went into the
prison where Paul was probably con- i
fined. In one of the churches the
guide showed us the footprints of
Jesus, in stone,where He stood when
talking to Paul. In another church j
he showed me the real feet of Jesus j
in an iron cage. I said to him in re- ]
ply to these tracks of Jesus and His i
feet: "Well, Jesus must have been a <
very heavy man to leave such deep j
tracks in marble, and then, too, if <
Christ is in heaven He is there with- 1
out His feet and therefore His en- i
tire body haa not been resurrected i
from the dead." In another church i
you are shown a skull of Jesus and
in another church a second one. A 1 c
member of the party remarked to 11
the guide, "I see this is a verylj
large skull and the other a very' i
small one; how is that?" "Well," j t
replied the guide, "the other one t
was when Jesus was s. little boy." , f
What miserable superstitions the c
Popes have fastened on these people! \
1
In the church of St .John Lateran I
these Romanists claim to have the c
twenty-eight marble steps from Pi-1
late's stairs in Jerusalem. They are t
placed before the great altar in this t
church and by crawling up them on 1 c
your knees and repeating prayers1 c
and counting beads you get remission
of sin for nine years. While
crawling up these steps the monk |
Martin Luther had his vision of the (g
ridiculousness and sinfulness of such , s
an act. He arose disgusted with Ro- I
11
manism, walked down and began his
, c
wonderful Reformation of the six- j j
teenth century. j 1
Florence, the city of Dante and . ?
Savanarola, is marvelous and seems,'
c
to be created for poets, artists and
all those human souls who love
beauty. The beauty of her sky, the
mildness of her climate, the mag- J c
nificence of her surroundings, the. t
grand and numerous artistic monu-' r
* ? ii-i r i I
ments, wmcn recait me giory ox nor ; j
past,concur to make Florence one of j j
the most charming cities of the e
world. It is called another Athens. c
Renan said that whilst Athens dif- s
fused culture among the ancients, c
the modern world is indebted to r
Florence for its civilization. ?
We leave for Venice and Switzer- \
land tomorrow. Some of our party r
are already planning to return with t
me next spring to visit the Holy *
Land. L D Bass,

For months Kingstree readers t!
have seen the constant expressions
of praise for Doan's Kidney Pills, ?
and read about the pood work they
have done in this locality. Not another
remedy ever produced such u
convincing proof of merit. ,,r
W R White, S Boundary St, Manning,
S C. says: "I can confirm the s|
statement I gave regarding Doan's p<
Kidney Pills in March, 1(.K)8, and l,r
again say that this remedy acts just ?
as represented. I use Doan's Kidney
Pills occasionally when in need
of them and they always help me. I
At one time my kidneys were so n
weak that I had but little control
over the kidney secretions. I sulfeied
constantly from backache and
pains across my loirs and morr.ings

the other symptoms of my complaint."

ly." The inost characteristic street
scenes may be witnessed here. Street
cooks have set up stoves and carry
on a brisk trade in macaroni, fish,
potatoes, etc, while chatting, shouting,
gesticulating crowds pass
through these streets from the early
morning till midnight. While vendors
of fruit,boiled tripe and sweet-meats
cry out their wares, quack doctors
extol their remedies,long processions
of fat priests or monks are seen in
contrast with the tattered and parentless
street-unchins who look out
with keen eyes for something to allay
their hunger. Quarreling women,
deafening cries here and there and
fighting boys amused our party. Naples
is the noisiest city in the world.
Pompeii, with a population of
30,000 people,was buried during the
eruption of Vesuvius in 79 A D. A
few years ago it was discovered. The
excavated part is about half of the
city. Here the Forum, several tem??-u:
pies anu public ounuiuga, mw u,vBtres.many
large dwelling houses and
the amphitheater are to be seen. In
the streets can be seen the deep ruts
worn in the rocks by the wagons, indicative
of heavy traffic. At the corners
of the streets are public fountains.
Most of the Pompeiian houses
are entered from the street by a
narrow passage leading into a court.!
The wall decorations have a peculiar
charm. They still show traces of
Greek art. The walls and columns
