THE OLD ANTAGONISM. The man with enemies is not lecessarily a bail man. The man villi main friends is not neccssariv a good man. The truth is that vcr\ man that seeks honestly tn l>i liis. .liit \ w ill liriiiir ilnwn iinor iihead the wrath of evil-minded ndividuals. The mere fact that i mesty and sincerity condemn disloiiesty and insinccritx is sufficient o produce hatred on the part oi he disrcputahlc towards the repuable. It is not always easy to ^and for those things that make or the good of humanity even rlien the many take their stand on hat side: it is even more difficult o stand for the best things when he manv take up the fightj for evil lungs : but in evert ease the maicious and vicious will vent their rrath upon the head of the fearless tefender of right. It is in the nail re of things that this should be he ease. And yet. there is this omfort to the man that does take lis place on the side of righteousless: Sin is a cowardly thing. It annot fight in the open. It preers to fight under cover or to run way and await the coining ot larkness to renew the battle. In he struggle for the good citizenhip these same conditions prevail. n the war being wag*?\ against lie whiskey curse it i> manifested diall the man. therefore, whe lands f<>r good citizenship an< igainst the whiskey curse shut hi? nouth because to open it mean! hat he will call down upon hi< lead the wrath of the lawless and he intemperate? Not so. There s strong consolation in the inert act that one's life is projected up?n the higher ideals. A fellow feels leaner and his heart rejoices ir he comfort that comes from seekng to do right, whether thai :ause brings scorn or approval up>11 his head. PRESIDENT SPENCER. The death of Mr. Samuel Spen cr. president of the Southern rail vay. in a rear-end collision on the nainhne of Ins own railway, is a alamity which has shocked am listrcsscd especially the whole southern country, For with tin levelopinent of the South Mr spencer had been intimately conlectcd. The sad occurrence took place 11 the early morning of Thanksgiv ng day at Lawyers. \ irginia. Mr spencer's private car. which waf ittached to one of the Florida)ound trains, beimr telescoped l>\ In- jjront engine which ?lre\v tilt \tlanta-honnd "vcstihulc." so lonjj he pride of the threat system. Samuel Spencer was a native o ieorjfia and. like most railway feninses. had worked his way uj roil) the bottom, and had come t< >e recognized one of the ip'catcsi ailwav presidents in America. Tens of thousands of Southerns is the news of the calamity tlashet lown the lines of the road, thous mds who had never seen Mr spencer, felt a sense < >f persona oss ;.t his death. The death of ; nan in his position un<|uestionabh neans more to 111v* country at larip Itan that of a private citizen. ( ol. \. I'.. Andrew s. the hon<>re< itst vice-president of the system 111<I a vet .-ran and shrewd railway ;eniu? himself, was tendered lh< ?residency. but it is understood rinsed it rather than move from hi kalvi^h home. 1'he distinguished dead was lab 0 rest in the faniih vault at ( )al 1 I ill cemetery in W ashington, jrcat number of prominent poo >le in railway and other circle hrott^hout tile country honore< lis memory l>v their presence. LOOK AT FHE JIGS." To all those who are constant \ harping upon tin- "jn<; tracic hat is jfoinj* < >n in I "ni??n and win iff therefore seeking to helittl >nr present prohibitory laws, w >vish to put this question: I )i< fon ever know it to happen in I n on. in all the histoix ??f tin- past I tliat a circus canu* to town and on that day not a single arrest was made? It never happened before the last circus. Hut it did happen then! Did you ever hear of a man advertising his town by saying: We have whiskey shops ami gambling dens to offer as inducements -to people seeking a place to trade? You hear men say to the prospective settler : We have a good town ; good schools, healthful climate, good water, good streets, churches and public buildings, ami a citizenship noted for its hospitality. That is the way men put it. They do not dare to say that whiskey; s.dling mak *s a good town. Some i 'few do sav that selling whiskey makes "business" good. Hut these deluded souls f irget the condemnation their own words bring upon : their beads. If it did make "trade" i better the eternal question of right and wrong would still be to reckon with. > Doings at Lockhart. 'i ? i I.ockhart.

Last week in! my communication 1 spoke of tax icing raised so much this year, and j I will now give some evidence of j tho difference: One man's tax last \oar was $5b.75. this year on the same property it is $05.00: another man paid $28.00 last year, and this year it is $*15.00: while another paid $25.00. and this year it is $75.00.
