Superintendent Explains System
of Bookkeeping.
Editor Record:?
In view of the fact that there has
been considerable skepticism as to
the published reports as to the cost
of the chainjrsns: camps, and especial
ly in regare to cost of feeding the
men, I would like, with your permission,
to say a few words as to |
how the monthly report is made up.
There is kept at this camp (since
January 3) a regular set of books?
day book and ledger?on which is
placed every item of cost of whatsoever
nature the same may be.
From day book it is transferred to
ledger under its proper head. For
instance, every article of food,
whether regular heavy groceries, or
something bought outside tor a
change, such as potatoes, fresh meat
or vegetables is placed in the board
account. Every article in the hardware
line, from lap link to locomotive,
is placed under the caption,
Hard/rare. Under the caption, Incidentals,
we place soap, oil, axle
? j i- M^
grease ana sucn imngs as nave uu
fixed status and is, therefore, thrown
on this indiscriminate scrapheap.
A bill is on file for every item of
cost and is booked in regular order;
from the book to the report is the
next step and then to the hands of
the County Board of Commissioners
who sit in final judgment as to the
accuracy and justices of each claim
as passed. For the past three
months, under instructions of the
board, the groceries have been
bought from Mr J M Brown, who
has, I think, sold them as cheap as
could be expected; to be explicit,
eight per cent above actual cost.
There is nothing secret or hidden
about the whole camp, except possibly
a fow old torn stripes that
have been thrown out in the bushes.
The bill file is hanging open. The
books are in the desk unlocked and
the latch is on the outside.
Respectfully,
J Z McConnell,
Supt Camp No 2.
Gold Near McCormlck.
McCormick, April 4:?The Sullivan
Mining company ,!which has the Jennings
property of the old Dern mine
leased and is working about two and
and one-half miles beyond the town,
last Friday struck a vein of gold that
after an assay has proven to be worth
from $16,000 to $20,000 a ton.
There is much excitement in the
new county over this discovery.
Something over $1,000,000 worth
of gold has been mined in and around
McCormick during the past, and the
recent discovery has showed that
there is much more here now.

War, Humane and Inhuman
American correspondents wl
have traversed the territory aba
doned by the Germans in Fran
agree that the devastation uf th
region is a worse outrage upon civ
ization than the ravaging of B<
gium. What the difference is b
tween German warfare and Amei
can warfare we may realize by ca
ing up what the Cumberland vall<
of Maryland and Pennsylvania, tl
Gettysburg region, and the who
loyal country of Maryland, wou
have been after General Lee's occ
pation in 1863 if Lee had follow*
the German plan of leaving tl
country a desert.
What did Lee do when he car
into Pennsylvania? Did he lea
the people "nothing but their ey
to weep with?" Did he cut dov
every apple tree and pear tree, b
and little, in the region he traverse
Did he blow up the beds of the roac
and tear up the soil of the fiel
with gun powder? Did he endeav
to leave the country in a conditii
which would make it unproducti
of food, if possible, for a decad
and even to put upon it destructi
transformations that could hard
be repaired? Did he tear down burn
every house, including tl
churches?the churches alone wh<
he had not the time to destroy tl
other houses? Did he seize ai
ship to the interior of the Confe
eracy all the able bodied >oung rn<
and women of the region, to wo:
as slaves in producing food or ar
munition for his soldiers": N'i! v

,e. American sentiment, North as well
rj. as South, has reprobated the ravage
11. that was committed by General Sherry
man on his march to the sea and
northward. Sherman, as we know,
,le had rather a German idea about the
Id purpose and the methods of war.
u. His countrymen do not apologize for
sd the destruction he wrought. But
he ! not even to Sherman did the idea
occur to wreck a *fe)l revenge upon
ne the earth, or to carry a retinue of
caDtive women and children in his
ft
eg wake. Not once in our Civil war
was a hand raised for such ravage
ig and barbarity as the Germans have
d? committed in France. Our history
|g has nothing like it. We have not
ds forgotten that in 1814 the city of
or Washington was burned by the
3n British, with a wantonness of physive
cal destruction. That was an out[e>
rage that stands out to the eternal
ve discredit of British arms. But at
]y least our women and children were
or not carried away as slaves to Enghe
land: the fruit trees of Maryland
?n were not cut down and the highhe
ways were not blown into the air.

Text of the Lesson, John xi, 17-44.
Memory Verses, 25, 26?Golden Text,
John xi, 25?Commentary Prepared
by Rev. D. M. Stearns.
The lesson chapter today is out of [
the regular order, just one lesson, be- '
| cause of Its being suitable for Easter
I This Is the home in Bethany which
[ seemed to mean more to Jesus thau
! any other and to which we were inJ
troduced In Luke x. 38-42, when we
| saw Martha serving, but not restfully.
j Mary serving also, but finding time to
1 sit at Jesus' feet and hear Ills Word
; and commended by Him. We shall
i visit them again two weeks hence
| In Matt, xxvi, 6, It Is called the house
j of Simon, the leper, and we feel like
asking some questions, that we may !
| know the family better. Bnt whom
I shall we ask? Until we can see them L
! and Inquire more fully. If it shall then I
| seem best, let us rejoice with them ?
i that Jesus loved each of the three, as |
' It Is written. "Now. Jesus loved Martha |
! and her sister und Icarus" (verse 5). j
I Many Marthas have been made giad 'I
j by this verse. I ain glad because the |
I Son of God loved me and gave Him- .
self for me and that He loves with ;
| everlasting love and to the uttermost
I (Gal. 11, 20; Jer. xxxl, 3; John xlil. 1. V
j R. V. M.). Why He permits sickness
i and suffering and death to come to those
whom He loves is a constant
question with many, but there is com
fort in the assurance that God is love.
His way is perfect No real evil can e
ever come to His own. and the suffer p
Ings of this present time are not u
worthy to be compared with the glory f
which shall be revealed in uti (I John 8
Iv, 8; Ps. xviil, 80; xcl, 10; Rom. Till, P
I 18). Why He did not go to them as ^
soon as He received the word, but t
abode two days where He was (verse
6), is another perplexity, but we must
have absolute confidence In Him and
keep f.giug. "Just and true are Thy *
ways" tllev. xv, 3). j
It would be well if the last clause of t
j verse 4 held us uuder all circumstances,
i "For the glory of God, that the Son of
! God might be glorified." Glory to God
j in the highest is the first thing, and
j then peace (Luke 11, 14). When He did
; come Martha met Him first and Mary
a little later, but both greeted Him
with the same words, "Lord, if Thou
haclst been here my brother had not
' died" (verses 21, 32). They sound rej
proachful, but He understood and loved
, them Just the same. He spoke to Mar- '
tha of resurrection, but she thought
that He spoke of some far olf event
(23-26). Tbe resurrection of the righteons
should be to believers an ever
present possibility and also the thought
cf being caught up without dying, both
of which He here asserts. See also
I Thess. iv, 16-18; I Cor. iv, 50-53. Not
something in the far distant future,
but a possibility any day. "Yet n very
Little while. He that cometb shall come
and will not tarry" (Heb. x, 37, R. V.).
Wary did not come to Him until Martha
returned and said, "The Master is
come and calletb for thee." Then she
arote quickly and came unto Him
(rer6es 28, 29). I wonder how the
Jews comforted her <verse 31). How
would you comfort such a sad heart? 4
God is the Father of mercies and the
God of all comfort, who comforts us
that we may comfort others, but I remember
only one place where It Is
written, "Comfort one another with *
these words" (II Cor. 1, 3, 4; I Thees. i
lr, 18). Of too many it might be said, *
"Miserable comforters are ye all" (Job i
XTi, 2). In due time they came to the
tomb, and Jesus wept and groaned in ?
Himself (verses 35. 38).
Ob. this occasion, as He entered Jerusalem
and in Gethsemane are the three (
occasions on which it is recorded that
Jesus wept, but He was ever a man of
sorrows and acquainted with grief
(Isa. liil, 3). When He said, "Take ye
away the stone," Martha objected, as
if it were an impossible case, for he
hud been dead four days. His reply is ,
foi each of us and for every day, "Said
I not unto thee that If thou wouldest
believe thou shouldest see the glory of
God?" (Verse 40.) The same truth Is
In Ph. xxvil^l3?I believed to see. The ,
world's not to is. "Seeing Is believing,"
but the Christiun believes in order to
see. Jesus talked a moment with His Father
and then cried with a loud voice.
"Lazarus, come rortii:" instantly ne
wus at the mouth of the tomb, alive
and well, but still bound hand and foot,
with the gruveelothes and his face
bound about with the napkin. The
same word that gave him life brought
him also to the mouth of the cave.
Some day that same voice will bring
forth all the dead, the righteous at the
beginning of the thousand years and
the unjust at the close of that period
(chapter v, 28, 29). ?
It probably gave fear and trembling
to some to see a dead man stand np j
with the graveclothes still on him, but j
Jeaus said, "Loose him and let him go," j
and socai he Is freed from the tabill- j
ments of death. Oh, the wonder working'
Christ; truly a man, for He wept;
truly God, for He can raise the dead,
and He Is ever "this same Jesus." j
.Many who have come to life from be- t
lng dead in sins have not been fully e
freed from their graveclothes, the c
things they did In their former days c
when they were of this present evil *
age, but lie who gave life is able to set k
free from all bondage ami make free
indeed to ve ITiui. If you are free j
by Ills wo . t'i-1 Spirit. lie will u.-eyo i ]
to set so c else free if you will. I
