Bill Arp Talks About the Malice of North ern Literature Toward the South Some Facts Not Generally Known. Please let me say something about our press and our literature. Rev. VV. J. Seott in his Paragraphic Pen cilings in The Constitution, says that the great want Of the South is. a first class magazine that will reflect the soul and sentiment of the Southern people. Mr. Scott is perhaps the ripest scholar that writes for the Southern press. His contributions are always entertaining and instruc tive. He has had experience in magazine work and gave us while it existed the best monthly that has ap peared since- the war. Hut he was ahead of the times and his labors were not sustained. He is right in believing that now is the auspicious time. Our people are tired with the injustice and unfairness and the malice of Northern literature. Judge Gunby, of Monroe, La., said to me the other dav that it was a shame that we did not have a great monthly a stand ard of Southern literature and that if a first-class experienced man could be found who would undertake to establish such a monthly in Atlanta or Nashville or Memphis he would be willing to furnish the money or go in with a syndicate for that purpose. He even named the sum of $25, 000 that he thought would be neces sary. Well, now, why not ? How long shall we be constrained to swallow a little slander with every feast that we get from the Northern press ? Here is my nabor who takes The New York Sun. and he says it is a great paper a wonderful paper but that it is tainted with the chronic malice toward our people, and be pointed out a paragraph in the number he was reading w hich was apologizing fordynch law under peculiar circum stances, and said: "But, of course, this does not apply to the South, where the negro is lynched without proof 'iipon a bare accusation, and it makes 110 difference whether he is guilty or not guilty." Not long ago there was an article in I he Tribune which said the war w as brought on by the slaveholders, who were in such a majority that those who did not own them were handicapped and. had to submit. They did not go into war until forced by conscription; That is the common idea at the North that it was a war by slave holders to perpetuate slavery. The fax-books of our State show that before the war not over one citizen in nine owned slaves, and the eight were more eager for the fight than the one. It was emphatically a rich man s war and a jxxr man s hgnt, so lar as numbers were concerned, for every owner of twenty slaves was exempted from military service. He was needed at home to raise provis isons for the army. Colonel Robert H. Jones, of our town, says he took into the field a full company of nine t v-six men and not more than half a dozen of them owned negroes In some of our Northern counties there were hardly any negroes not one to a hundred whites but their soldiers swarmed to the front. It used to be saifl that there was but one negro in Dade county and he was kept in a cage as a curiosity, .and yet Dade sent score's of her mountaineers to the field. Then what were they fighting for is the question. Because the North and the South had been quarreling tor titty years and the fight had to come. , . ' -. Quarreling about the tariff that gave protection to the Northern man ufacturer and made the Southern farmer buy their goods at a higher price. Ouarreline about the extension of slavery into the territories and about the admission of Texas and Missou ri. Quarreling because the statesmen of the South controlled the govern ment, for it is a tact that during the first sixty-four years Southern Presi dents were ig office, fifty-two of them. Quarreling llecause the Puritans were naturally opposed to the cavaliers. they didn't like each other, and they don t now. 1 be Puritans were selt- nghteous. They wouldn't tolerate a fit-lit between a bulldotr and a bea not because they cared anything for the dog or the bear, but because it gave pleasure- to the spectators. They couldn't tolerate slavery not because they cared for the slave, but because he served and waited on a Southern master: audit is the same way vet, for riefht now Boston is shipping to Africa nine-tenths of all the rum that is made in the United States. But the main cause of the war was because a President was elected by a 'sectional party, pledged to shut up slavery and pen it in and give it no outlet into public territories. And here it must stay and fester and en danger our section by its own in crease until it became a stench, for our people were ready and ripe for some mode of its gradual emancipa tion if the North had been kind and had ever proposed any compensation. EnglanJ had not long before emanci . . .. . . 1 1 i 1 , , , paieu ners ana naa .paid tne owners sixty million of pounds for them, but the Puritans pi the North, who brought them over from Africa and 1.1 i . ... oiei mem to ys wouldn t agree to pay a cent. On the contrary, they encouraged the slaves to run away and to fight and burn and destroy William Loyd Garrison organized over two thousand societies pledged to crusn out slavery, and, if necessa ry, destroy the union to do it. Yes, they hemmed us in, and we had to j separate or give up slavery. We j didn't mind giving it up, if we could ! have done it wifli safety to ourselves, i TnHppfl loner hrtore the war one of , our greatest men, Joseph Henry Lumpkin, the Chief Justice of our Supreme Court, wrote some power ful articles upon the subject of grad ual emancipation, and he had thous ands of sympathizers, but the con tinual goadings and threatemngs of the North crushed out every pros pect, and we had to face the crisis when it came, for our people were not to be driven or forced to their methods. When a true history of the causes that led to the war is writ ten the North will be responsible for it. They rebelled against the de cisions of Chief Justice Taney, and William H. Seward declared the law should not be enforced. But the South acted under misap prehension about some things. Lin coln was elected by our desperate and fanatical enemies, but he was not one oi them. He was neither a Puritan nor an abolitionist. He mar ried into a Kentucky family that owned slaves, and part of that family were in the Confederate army. But he was devoted to the union, and said : "If I can save the union without freeing the slaves I will do it." But the Garrison party replied : "Free the slaves if it destroys the union." General Grant has been sainted, but he was a slave owner and his slaves were made free by Lincoln's proclamation. If anybody doubts this let them refer to Appleton's biog raphy. I would place all these facts in history. There was a party North who fought for him and a party who fought for union and a party who fought for the extermination of slavery and a party who fought us on general principles and a million or two who fought for money and they made a trust a combine, and whip ped us, and we stand whipped, but we were right all the same. What the South wants is literature that does not toady to Northern sen timent in order to get Northern pat ronage. I have a history before me now that is asking for Southern pat ronage because it was written by a Charleston man one D. H. Mont gomery of whom w e never heard until now. If he is a Southern man he had Northern prejudices and his book shows it. His feelings crop out on every page of the late yvar. He goes out of the way to say that "the war was brought about by a few political leaders of the South whose aim it was to establish a great slave holding republic of which they should be head." That is not the truth. In speaking of Grant's promotion he says : "At last the right man has been found." He says that Sherman "had a military picnic" in his march to the sea. He does not mention the burning of Columbia or any act of wanton destruction or of inhumanity, but skips the inarch from Savannah to Goldsboro. I wonder where Mr. Montgomery was then. He says "thanks to the financial ability of Treasurer Chase, the government never lacked means to carry on the contest." He gives full page portraits of Lincoln and Grant and Farragut and Lee and many others, but none at all of Mr. Davis, Stephens or Joe John ston. He -says the greatest number of men engaged in the' union army at any one time was 1,000,000, and in and in the Confederate army at one time was 700,000, when the facts are that die sum total of all our soldiers during the war was less than seven hundred thousand, wlnle the union army was 2,776,000. He says that "no greater event is recorded in his tory than Lincoln's proclamation giv ing freedom to the slaves, and that at last it made good the words of the declaration ol independence that de clared all men free and equal." Thomas lefferson wrote that and was a slave owner when he wrote it. He goes into raptures over the re turn and the disbanding of the union armies, numbering about one million, and making a column thirty miles long, and all festooned with flowers "magnificent sight." No such spectacle had ever before been seen in America, and as one enthusiastic officer remarked, it was worth ten years ot a man s lite to say 1 was there." Talmage made a speech about that at the New England ban quet and Henry Gradyr took all the starch and elorv out of it in about twenty minutes. Mr. Montgomery had better peruse that speech and mavbe in his next edition he could say something about the return of the poor confederates. He says that the union bread must have tasted sweet to the rebels alter their long fast He quotes every little triumphant braggadocio of Grant and Sherman and their men, such as "Uncle Billy, I guess Grant is waiting tor us at Richmond." To President Lincoln I beg to present you as a Christmas gift the city of Savannah and 25,000 bales of cotton. W. T. Sherman. If such oonmots are in order why did he not put in the following which are on file in Washington : December 18, 1864. Major Gen eral W.J T. Sherman : Should you capture- Charleston I hope that by some accident the place may be de stroyed and a little salt be sown upon its sight. H. W. Halleck, Chief of Staft. Reply. I will bear in mind your hint as to Charleston and do not think salt will be necessary. Ihe fifteenth corps will be on the right and they generally do their work well. The truth is the whole army is burning with an insatiable desire to wreak vengeance upon South Car- Olina. W. 1. onbKMAN . A few remarks upon the horrors of yvar would not be inappropriate on general principles, and Mr. Mont gomery could have found them ready in Alex. Stephen's history and in the account of the burning ot Columbia and the night of horrors, written by William Gilmore Simms, a Carolin ian above reproach or Cabelism. Mr. Montgomery goes out of his way to say that "Henry Wirz, who com manded at Andersonville, was con victed of cruelty to union soldiers and was hanged as he deserved." Plow does he know ? Wirz was convicted on false testimony and on but little of any sort, but the North thirsted for blood and a yictim. Our Ben Hill refuted all that Anderson ville business in his reply to Blaine, and it was so admitted and accepted y the public both North and South, and even by Blaine himself. We begged for an exchange of prisoners upon the ground that we could not get sufficient food, but Stanton re fused. This execution of Wirz was as foul a murder as was that of Mrs. Surratt. In his commentaries on freedom this philosophic historian might have ound even m Boston a mentor in the person of Rev. Dr. Mayo, who said : The colored people must be told that no 6,000,000 of people in any and was ever so marvelously led by providence as thev have been for 200 years. All the good there ever was in slavery was for them. It was that severe course of discipline which they got from Southern masters that every barbarous race must get some way to raise them to civilization and South ern slavery was but a charity school when compared with the years of war and tyranny and oppression by which other nations have reached their present civilized condition." That is truth and philosophy from a very high source. We commend it to Mr. Montgomery and all others of his narrow prejudices. But a few years before the war I saw some native Africans in Columbus who had just been brought over in the Wan derer. They wanted their meal raw and were but little above the brutes in intelligence. In a short time they were reclaimed from barbarism and noyv they and their children are civil ized, intelligent and well-to-do citi zens. What would our 6,000,000 of negroes be now if their fathers and forefathers had not gone through the iscipline of slavery. What a pity that all Africa could not be put under humane masters and thus put a stop to w hat our latest news tell us of the horrible state of affairs in that be nighted country. Mr. Montgomery makes no defense for us against the monstrous lies in "Uncle Tom's Cabin's," but, on the Contrary, says it was yvritten from the heart to the heart, and left its millions of readers in tears. Indeed, his whole book shows that it was written to satisfy the North, and with a hope that by a praise of General Lee and Stonewall Jackson, and the courage and endurance of Southern soldiers, he might possibly get the South to adopt in their hools. But its tendency is to leave upon us the shadows of two sins secession and slavery we confess neither. . I have noyv made public some of the objections to this so-called histo ry. Its omissions are as prominent as its unfair and untruthful statements and insinuations. His publishers, Ginn & Co., of Boston, say that it is satisfactory to the New England schools, where it has been adopted. Of course it is, and that is reason enough why it cannot be satisfactory here. The preface gives thanks to Brown's university and to Harvard and the Boston library for valuable assistance, but no thanks for anything Southern. And so we part compa ny with Mr. Montgomery and his publishers. Let us stand on the watch towers and guard our own citadels. Let us receive no book, whether history or reader or speaker, that does not do the South justice and pay as high tribute to Jefferson Davis and our leaders as it does Lincoln and Grant. Bill Arp. Eternal Vigilgnce Is the price of health. But with all our precaution there are enemies always lurking about our systems, only waiting a favorable opportunity to assert themselves. Impurities in the blood may le hidden for years or even generations and suddenly break forth, undermining health and has tening death. For all diseases aris ing from impure blood Hood's Sarsa- parilla is the unequalled and unap proached remedy. It is King of them all, for it conquers disease. Big steamships use 466 pounds coal a minute. of Who yvould be so cruel, so unnat ural, as to refuse to buy one bottle of Shriner's Indian Vermifuge, when he knows that worms are destroying his child ? This is no trifling matter. Women are ticket clerks on Irish railroads. James W. Lancaster, Hawkinsville, Ga., writes: "My wife was in bad health tor eight years. Five doctors and as many more different patent medicines had done her no good. Six bottles of B. B. B. has cured her. "That tired feeling" is entirely overcome by Hood's Sarsaparilla, which gives a feeling of bouyancy and strength to the whole system. A HERO. tHLlMLKI.r SACKIFCE IS ADMIRED BY ALL 11 It AVE MEN. v Kir--t r . A HM Sort of Courage Wan that PmmwmI ! My this Man. H in Story in Well Worth Heading Especially So, as it is True. It was a scene that no man can fittingly describe, that no man who witnessed it can ever forget. Fifteen brave and well-armed men had start ed out from Bannack City in the early days of April to search gold, and near the middle of May, with their numbers sadly reduced by death from the arrows and bullets of Indian foes, they had only one thought to fight their way back to civilization or die as befitted the high code of chivalry recognized by the pioneers of the West. They might have njde a dash for it and. cut their way out by very boldness, but to have done that would have been to aban don Henry Bell, who was fearfully wounded, but for whom there yet re-" maineda hope. So he was placed upon a horse and the little cavalcade moved upon its forlorn way. The Indians were all around them, wait ing for a chance to rush in and give the finishing blow with the least pos sible danger to themselves. They had moved twenty miles since daybreak, slowly picking their way over the snow upon tbe moun tains. At four in the afternoon. weary and cold, they halted to give Bell needed rest and to prepare sup per. Pickets were thrown out and the other men had begun to unpack, when one named York gave the alarm that Indians were approaching. Each man sprang for his rifle, when suddenly a shot was heard in their very midst. A glance at Geery told the story. With a deadly pallor up on his face, but with head erect, he stood leaning upon his gun. He said: "Boys, r have foolishly ended my life." In his haste he had grasp ed his rifle by the muzzle, the ham mer had caught in a blanket and had been drawn back, and the ball had struck him in the breast, shattering his shoulder and making a mortal wound. His comrades helped him to a sit ting pesture. He then calmly open ed his shirt, and pointing to the wound told them that he could have only a few hours to live. "But that is too long for you to remain here, he added. "The sun is going down and the Indians will be upon you. It would be impossible to defend yourselves in this place.4' Then he turned his brave eyes to Captain Stuart and said: "Jim, tell the boys I'm fatally. wounded." His comrades saw what was in his mind and begged him to take no thought of them, except to let them make him as comfortable as they might during his final hours. But all the answer he made was to reach for his pistol, hold it fimly in his hand, and give them warning that any en deavor to take it trom him would only hasten the inevitable end. No one made the attempt ; but with tears in their eyes and forgetting the dangers hedging them in, his comrades attempted to reason with him, and to persuade him that with help he might pull through, as Bell was already doing. But he knew as well as they that the end was a mat ter of a few hours at the most. Turn ing again to Stuart, he urged him to tell the boys how desperate was his case, and "Captain Jim," with tears in his eyes and a choking voice, could only say: "Never mind, Geery, we will stay by you; all the Indians in the world couldn't drive us away." The decision of this plain frontiers man was made, and nobody could shake his heroic resolve. "I know you would all stay by me," he said, "and die for me, and remember that I am not committing suicide. It is only for a short time, in any case. I am only shortening my own life by a few hours to prevent you losing yours. God knows I don't want to die; I fear death, but I have a hope beyond it." He held the muzzle of the weapon to his breast. "Remember where I am buried this gorge in the mountains. Des cribe it to my friends if you live to reach them. God bless you all ! I must die, and in time for you to bury me and escape before dark." He was about to pull the trigger, when the voice of Stuart came from the group of pale-faced men who could hive calmly faced anything but this : ' For God's sake, Geery, don't but it you must, don't shoot your self there. It will only prolong your agony. Place your pistol to your temple" The change was made. "God bless you all and take you safely out of this." The men turned and walked away; none of them could face the final scene. The finger came, down upon the trigger, the cap exploded, but there was no shot. Sam T. Hauser, afterward governor of Montana, step ped forward and said: "Geery, for God's sake desist this is a warning." To this he merely made answer: "I don't know what to think of it ; it never snapped before." Again cock ing the weapon, he engaged a mo ment in silent prayer, again pressed his finger and the deed was done. The men gathered around his dead body. Tears were in the eyes of all, and some could not speak for the sobs that shook them. "Waiting some half-hour," says Governor Hau ser, "after he had drawn his last breath, we buried him as he he de sired in his soldier overcoat. We had scarcely finished his burial when the pickets announced that the In dians were within gun-shot, yet there was no firing. After, our last sad duty was finished, 'Jim' directed us to pile limbs and brush on the grave and burn them, so as to conceal it from the Indians and prevent them r r- r u- from digging poor Geery up for his scalp and clothes. We then gather ed our things together as best we could, and packing up, moved on in single file out of the gorge, camping or rather hiding, in the sage-brush some miles away. The sacrifice was not made in vain. The little party made its way back to Bannack City without further loss of life. From Bart to Worse. The ordinary treatment of conta gious blood poisoning is to drive one poison from the system by intfoduc-. ing another. The result, in most cases, has beeri that which usually follows a leap frofii the frying pan into the fire. To put it mildly, mer curial and other mineral poisonings have disadvantages which are hardly less serious than contagious blood poison. In either case the system is wrecked ; and yet there is no reason why humanity should continue to suffer. It is the office of S. S. S., to cure contagious blood poisoning. For that disease the medicine is surely a specific. And it is also its office to cure mercurial and other mineral poisoning. In short, S. S. S., is the great blood purifier. It destroys the germs of the contagious disease, and expels trom the system all forms of mineral poisoning. It restores health and strength to the sufterer.

The History or the Trials and- Successes or an Edgecombe County Boy that Should be an Incentive to Every Boy (Who Reads It. The history of R. Herbert Pittman, a native of No. 5 township shows what a young man can do, and that if. he has the will he can certainly rise. At the age of 17 the little smatter ing of books he had acquired in the few months he was allowed to attend a public school near his father's, in cited him to drink deeper of the "Pi erian spring." He wished to attend one session at A. J. Moore's school at Whitakers, but his father was unable to send him. He told his father if he would consent for him to go he would pay his own tuition. What father could refuse? He studied under Mr. Moore five months. That good teacher seeing what metal the lad was made of, credited him for his schooling. He made wonderful progress. At the end ot the session he prevailed upon his father to let him go to Battleboro and study telegraphy under Mr. An drew Hobgood. Mr. Hobgood also agreed to wait till he could make enough to pay him. 1 When young Pittman had master ed this he was anxious to begin the battle of life. His father's affairs were such that he could ill afford to spare him, but finally the son con vinced, him that he could do him more good working at his profession than assisting him on the farm. 'Let me go to South Carolina where I can get a situation and I will pay by the time I am 21 years old the $350 you owe " He went. In two years, instead of three, that debt has been paid, so also has Mr. Hobgood and Mr. Moore. He is doing the work of two men yvhere he is located, Atkins, S. C. At that place he is express agent, freight agent and telegraph manager. tie is also conductor on the short ine of railroad which runs from At kins to Bishopville. In the day he engaged at the" former place. About 6 in the evening he boards his train for the latter and returns next morning in time to attend to all duties.

Tire Whistling Boy If ever in the course of- events I am blessed with the small boy class I shall teach him to whistle early in his young career and encourage him to warble merrily away throughout the sunshine and shade of youth and age. I never see a youngster with his hands shoved down in his pants pockets, his head thrown back his cheeks swelled out like a pair of bel lows and his puckered hps piping jolly tune that I don't set that boy down i as an innocent hearted lad who would not do anything more harm tul than rob a watermelon patch or such. He would not tell a malicious lie or do a cowardly trick. These are the works of the sly voungster with the averted eye and soft tread, who is afraid to whistle lest he make a noise and attract at tention. Ihe whistling boy never makes the foot pad or the cut throat though he may never be President. can't help having my suspicions about a man who never learned to whistle in his youth. In nine cases out of ten he has a falsetto voice and a bad ditrcstion. and his ideas on many points of morality are question able. - When, by reason of a cold or from other cause, the stomach, liver, and kidneys become disorered, no time should be lost in stimulating them to action.
