NO BOUNTY FOB THE SOLDIERS. According to Circular Issued by Auditor of War Department, Bounty Story Was a Pain? ful Delusion. The following "Special Circular Letter," sent to a South Carolinian who applied for blanks on which to file claim for a "bounty," as a Span? ish-American war soldier, seems to effectually crush all snch hopes: Treasury Department, Office of Auditor of the War Department., Washington, D. C., Oct. 8, 1901. A special dispatch was published in several of the leading daily papers on or about Sept 29, 1901, in regard to an alleged discovery of some old laws by a Brooklyn lawyer, granting $84 State and $192 federal bounties to soldiers for services in the recent Spanish American war and stating that it would cost the State about $2,000,000, and the federal government about $5, 000,000. It was also alleged that some thousands of cases -were uow before "At? torney General Knox at Washintgon for his decision, and that the matter is expecetd to be settled within the next ten days. This dispatch is very vague, and so far as the United States is concerned is incorrect and misleading. No such cases are before the attorney general of the United States for his action or decision. Furthermore, no law has ever been passed by congress grating any boun? ties whatever to any soldiers for servi? ces in the late Spanish-American war of 1898 and 1899. Certain laws were passed giving extra pay to such sold? iers in certain cases, in lieu of a fur? lough or leave of absence. But in nearly all such cases the soldiers who were entitled to such pay have arleady been paid it. In regard to bounty due to soldiers from the United States for service in the Civil war of 186?-1865, no Tecent bounty laws have been passed. The last general bounty law enacted by tho United States was oh April 22, 1872, and nearly all soldiers entitled to bounty under that act, and also under previous acts passed giving bounty . to soldiers for service in the Civil "Wari' have already been paid all the bounty due them. It is only necessary to say iii con? clusion, that there is ito foundation whatever for any such statements as set forth inrsaid dispatch, so far as the United States is concerned, and it is hoped that those who are interested this matter wilTnbt be induced to file worthless claims7 on account of such misrepresentations.

And this .makes us still prouder, for all of you together constitute a world. This good will is natural on the part of the nations of Central and South America on account of the similarity bf origin and the identity of speech. Our custom, our racial ideas are the. same; the languages of Brazil and: Haiti are at least of the Latin stock;' all of us have the same feelings, the same way of thinking; the same aspiraaions and if the language is the living token of the' independent life of the people, the common parentage of our speech ought to constitute a solidarity -of autonomy.

For sale by Dr A J China. Who Will Pay the Margin ? The last report of the agricultinal department of the United States, in referring to the corn crop, presents some suggestive figures. The south is a corn consumer. In 1900 the United States produced 2,105,102,516 bushels of corn. The south bought its proportion of this at the prevailing market rates. In 1901 the United States produced but 1,133,713,000 bushels-a shortage of 871,389,516 bushels. The west will make up this differ? ence in the charge it will bring against the south and other points of consumption. In this event what will become of the anticipated profit in cotton? It is idle for the man who lets an? other fix the price of his living to talk about prospering in business. The highest price ever obtained does not justify corncrib or smokehouse in the west. " The prosperous man is the one that lives at home. Again, oats was produced in 1900 to the extent of 809,125,989 bushels: in 1901 onlv 660,757,000 bushels. Here again the southern man is in the field as a buyer. Can he read a lesson in these figures?-Atlanta Constitution. Two Mormon elders have been warn? ed to leave Saluda county by the citizens. The Bible as a Text-Book. We were much interetsed in the re j marks of Rev. Dr. R. P. Kerr before the Richmond Education Association on Monday night on the subject of reading and teaching the Bible in the public schools. We believe that the children of this land should be taught the Bible, for, as Dr. Kerr says, it contains the only code of morals, j Moreover, we have but recently ex I pressed the opinion that the Bible is I the remedy for anarchy. The Bible is the book of law, and the Ten Com? mandments, which were delivered to M?ses, lie at the very foundation of I all civil law. If the people of this country believed one and all in the Bible and followed its teachings, we should have a land of perfect law and order, perfect justice and honest deal? ing between man and man. But we believe that i% is impractica? ble under our form of government to teach the Bible in the public schools of the land. If that should become a requirement and a rule of the pub? lic schools, according to Dr. Kerr's plan, teachers of . the Jewish faith .would be required to read the Sermon on the Mount and to make at least a tacit confession of the divinity of /Christ, in which they do not believe. Moreover, the children of Jewish pa? rents would be required to listen to the reading of the New Testament from the Christian's point of view, or else they would be retired from the schoolroom while the reading ' was in progress, and - that would be a se? rious interference with discipline and would cause no end of complications and confusion. - ' But that is not all. It would be simply impossible to prevent some very bigoted teachers from reading the Bible and teaching"it from "a sectarian viewpoint, and as surely as the ex? periment should be tried there would b? cl?sh?s" between the denominations. Nor is that'all. There is something abhorrent to-ns in the thought of having the children of this land taught religion by the State. We think that the great ? danger in the free-school system is its tendency to? ward socialism. The prime object which the founders of this Govern-: ment had in view was to develop* in? di vidnaHsm-to* promote independent manhood. ' They did not design that the citizens of this ' country should look to the Government for support; but/that, thev- should rely upon their own brain and" "brawn."" Anything like Government paternalism was ?e ncranced and discouraged by Thoma's Jefferson ana* his ?ssociates. ' r?e' believe in the public-school sys? tem, but within- -.limitations.

Jt is healthful, at times, to get within sound of a strong man's* voice, and tb hear "good, old fashioned ' ideas stated without5 apofogyv ? Such tr man is Mr. F. L. ' Sold?n, superintendent of the public schools of Si'L?uis: 'He is in favor' pf miking the teacher the center of; authority, and initiating the public into the ?rst principles of obedience1 thereto. ~ He holds the interference cf parents with crank ideas as out of the question. The' - school ~room con tains a . large family. It is just as necessary that these children should be-instrueted . in submission to rule as that they should move forward daily in Arithmetic or grammar. The most powerful agent of authority is the rod, all the more needed in controlling some children because of the absence of it at home. The pampered child grows up into the rebellious citizens, and itv is only a question of time as to when the penalty will have to be administered. Well laid on in youth it might dis? place disgraceful punishment in maturity. "Freak punishment," says the superintendent, "should never be allowed in the schools. A good, old-fashioned walloping such as ob? tained in the times of cur fathers is the thing when severe punishment is needed. We still use it in the St. Louis schools. I believe in suasion to a certain extent, but there are times when it falls flat. Then the switch is mightier than the tongue. The expul? sion of pupils from public schools for any cause is a thing I heartily disap? prove. A change of schools would be much better. It is the disobedient and unruly pupil who stands in need of the school, and educators, have no right to shirk . their debt to the public. " There is no doubt but that plain hard sense accomplishes more good than all the coddling of human pas? sion that can come from dreamers and impracticables.---Atlanta Journal. The officials of the Illinois Central Railroad Company are making special efforts to induce Western people to settle along its lines in Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi and Louisiana.

San Francisco, Nov. 15.-In one of the most unsatisfactory prize fights ever witnessed in this country, James J. Jeffries proved the victor tonight over Gus Ruhiin, the Akron giant. In the fifth round of what was to have been a twenty round struggle Ruhiin wilted and then surrendered to his peer to the disgust of the assembled thousands. No one was more surprised at the outcome than Jeffries himself who asserted that while|be had deliver? ed one telling blow in the second round he did not expect to win the victory so easily. Ruhlin's sole explanation of the outcome of the fight is that he received a chance blow which utterly disabled him and that Jeffries persist? ed in fighting him low. While Ruhiin will make no absolute charge of Jeffries having committed a foul, he intimates that he was unfairly handled and injured as a result. Ruhiin receives the support of his seconds in this stand, who say that his was a hopeless case after the second round. Almost from the beginning of the fight Rahlin appeared frightened. The fight was practically finished in the second round when Jeffries landed left hook on jaw that took all fight out of Ruhiin. His seconds complained bit? terly, but Ruhiin_ij|si^^ *h?^ h?^was the victim bf' ?n^'acc?d?nt; Jeffries walked to Ruhlin's corner, asked what was the matter, then turned in disgust and proceeded, to his dressing room while the ^spectators rose as one man and cheered thech?mpion while they denounced Rnhiln as a quitter ' and fakir. The poKce tumbled into the ring, stopped two fights in which Cor? bett, the referee, and officers of the club were involved.- The utmost ex? citement prevailed, during which Ruh? iin made hisjw?'y'ont of the ring. New York, Nov. 15,-The New Sea? board company, which has been incor? porated in Trenton, ,N. JJ, will take over the controling shares of the Sea? board Air Line system. Under its New Jersey charter the New Seaboard Com? pany acquires large; privileges, includ? ing the' rig?t to build ' and operate railroad lines, -steamship lines, tele? phone and telegraph'lines and to deal in bonds and mortgages. The author? ized capital of the new company is $5,000,000, but for the present, it is said, only $250,000 of capital stock will be issued. In this company will be vested the absolute control of the Sea? board Air Line system. The Children's Friead. You'll have a cold this winter. May be you have one now. Your children will suffer too.

CB George, Winchester, Ky, writes, ""^Oar little girl was attacked with croup late one night sud was so hoarse she could hardly speak.

In connection with ,the refusal of Gov. durbin tte deliver htfjfylot sad Knley.ttt tte tried for murder in Ken? tucky ?bme "highly >%s^?em?cT coritem poaraies have hastened to " 'assure' the' Courier-Journal that the Governor of Indiana had many precedents for "his action. In support of this instances are cited where ft is plainly intimated that other Governors have come short of their duty by refusing to surrender criminals, or persons charged with crime. ? . . - In the proper sense of the term these are not precedents. No number of failures of duty is sufficient to constitute a precedent. No number of violations of a law operates to abrogate it. Murders are unhappily very frequent in the United Staets. but they do not legalize homicide with malice aforethought. Nor is the acquittal of one murderer, where the evidence is sufficient to justify conviction, accepted as a reason why another should not be put upon trial. ? percedent is an act or decision of such a character as to serve as a model or rule of action in other simi? lar cases. This is the only sort of precedent that merits attention. It is no excuse for wrong-doing that others have done wrong at other places and times and under similar circumstances. These are not pre? cedents to be followed, but horrible examples that show us what we should avoid. There are precedents of another sort in connection with the surrender of persons accused of crime. There is always the question whether the person arrested, or whose arrest is sought, is the person who is really accused. While this is more likely to be a question for a court than for a Governor, it necessarily enters into the inquiry. Then there is the fur? ther question whether the accusation is properly shown and whether the' demand for the surrender is in proper form. All these techinal questions may be considered without any necessary implication of a viola? tion of duty. But it will be observ? ed that in no case where these ques? tions have arisen is a precedent for Gov. Durbin. There was no question that the Taylor and Finley whose surrender was asked were the same Tavlor and Finley indicted for mur? der in Kentucky. The refusal to honor the requisition was not on that ground, nor yet on the ground that no crime was charged against them, or that the requisition was not in due form. Gov. Durbin's objection was simply that Pe did not like the quality of Kentucky justice, which was outside of his jurisdiction. How? ever, there are many others who do not like the Kentucky brand or any other brand of justice. -Courier Journal. Blown to Atoms. Til .

It was known long before the Pan Aniericcan exposition closed that it would not pay out, but there is gene? ral surprise that its expenses exceeded its receipts by more than $3,500,000. The exposition was pitched and carried out on a magnificent scale, and its patronage fell far short of what was reasonably expected. This was due to the fact that so many great expositions had been held in this country during the previous few years. Another reason of the financial fail? ure of this great enterprise was the fact that the countries of Central and South America did not encourage and participate in it as they were expected to, and as several of them had given assurances that they would. The Pan-American exposition, in spite of its big name, was, strictly speaking, a local enterprise. True, it was by far the most comprehensive and magnificent show that any city ever presented, but the lack of any na? tional feeling back of it had a great effect in limiting the extent and variety of its attractions and attend? ance. In the splendor of electrical display the Buffalo exposition surpassed by far anything of the kind ever seen be? fore, not excepting the Columbian ex? position, or the last world's fair at Paris. It is to be regretted that the public spirited citizens of Buffalo who sub? scribed so liberally to the fund for this great exposition and bought its stock and bonds are to lose all they put up, ' but their city and the country at large to some extent have been benefited by the investment. ' It is estimated that $175,000,000 was brought directly to Buffalo by the ex? position, and the people of that city received back ' from many sources a large part of what they contributed to the enterprise. There is talk of ap? pealing to congress to pay the debts of the Exposition company, but little probabiity of the success of such an effort is apparent.-Atlanta Journal.

While the year has had its sor-, rows and disappointments, it also has had its joys and its Victories. Among the temperance, victories of the past: year we gratefully record the action of the senate in ratifying the treaty for the protection of the African races and we are reliably told that for 20 months neither Boers nor English in South Africa have allowed liquors to officers or men. The good effect of England's policy in discouraging the use of liquor in the army is being felt, and we have reason to believe that the soldier boys do not feel de? frauded. The French minister of war bas sent a message to every command? ant of an army corps prohibiting the sale of liquor with an alcoholic basis in barracks, canteen, in camp or field. In view of all this it is not at all strange that the congress of the Uni? ted States decided that the army sa? loon in this country must be abolish? ed. But evidently there is a concerted plan on the part of anti-temperance forces to try to prove that the law is producive of evil results, and testimony galore to this end is being gathered and given to the nubile. Meanwhile, the temperance societies, and others, are likewise securing testimony of an entirely opposite character.
