OF And Change For the Pat Twenty Tears How Time Ik Drawing Sectional Ani mositiesOther Topics. It was good to be there. Twenty years ago a reunion of the soldier boys was a lively gathering-. They greeted one another with loud hilari ty. They stepped around with a double quick and joked and laughed and cheered immensely. Most of the boys were 'then between thirty and forty, but now they are nearing sixty, and these twenty years make a difference. Rolling years will change a man. Anno Domini will tell. The years are all coming this way, and every one gives us a lick somewhere. I used to think that General Young was the finest looking man in the State, and was getting the best of the fight with old Father Time, but I noticed him at this reunion, and he carried a; cane and limped. Old Anno Domini struck him on the hip, they say. Most all of the veter ans looked older than usual a little stooped a litde stiffer in the joints. As they sat together in front of, the speakers' stand they made a goodly picture. It should have been taken. How solid, how thoughtful, how se rene they looked. A consciousness 01 duty done was set in every feature no shame, no repentance, no fear, no boasting they went through the fires and were refined. You can tell a veteran when you meet him in the road. It is said that Jerry Simpson, the sockless statesman, looked upon a gathering of (Georgia farmers and said: "My friends, this is the fi st time in my life that I ever stood up before a native American audience . ' ' Where he came from more than h df the people are foreigners. If the in stitution of slavery did our region no other good it did that. It kept the foreigners away and it is doing it yet. We are all one people the descend ants of revolutionary sires. Senator Ingalls has been down here and pro fessed conversion. He ought to have been baptized just as soon as he finished that speech so as td make his conversion stick. It was such a sudden conversion that our people are dubious. If a northern man will come down here and live awhile ne always gets converted. I never knew but one exception, and that was William H. Seward. He taught school in Putnam county when ie was a young man, and old settlers told me that he courted a pretty girl, and her plantation and nigge: s, and because she wouldn t have mn he gave up his school and went back and began to write us down as b - barians. Because he couldnt get fee niggers he didn't want anybody V i have them. But all the Other yankee schr. ' teachers that I. ever knew becai'i good, warm-hearted southern men. Dr. Alonzo Chucch, the time-honor ! president of our State college, and mram warner, tne cniei lustice (,i 1 -wr . 1 t - our Supreme court, were two of them I have before me now The Nev.s Democrat, of Canton, O., which has a marked letter written by a citiz n of that town and State, who says he came to Georgia in 1839 and taught school in Danielsville, Madison coun ty, for two years, and then studi d medicine, and in a few years his per sonal advantage called him back to Ohio, where h is now practicing medicine. But even the two years in Danielsville implanted a love for those people and his letter is tender toward the South, and this last spring on his return from Florida he went to Athens and rode horseback from there to Danielsville, eighteen miles, just to see the old place that had lived in his memory for fifty years, and to enquire after his pu pils. What devotion, what affection is that to come from a stranger, a northern man who came South with prejudices and went back without them. Strange to say, he did net find a man, woman or child in the village who lived there when he did. He heard of four of his new pupils who still live, only four. Sad an 1 lonely he walked about and repeated to himself the old song: "I feel like one who treads alone, etc." He says he visited the same old Court House, where he used to see Garnett Andrews presiding- and where he heard Toombs and Stephens and Howell Cobb and Bill Yancey speak. He attended the old time barbecues and heard the band play Old Dan Tucker. He went coon hunting with the young men and helped to hold the dogs while the darkies were cutting down the tree. He defends our people from the slan ders that have so long been heaped upontnem and says, "My relations to the school and its patrons and the outside public were most pleasant and agreeable. There is a quality of Southern blood whether derived from Huguenot or Cavalier which gives them a hospitality unknown in the North a cordial wel come and socially to which we are strangers. In speaking of slavery he savs. I have seen them sold on the block and at administrators' sales for division but I never witnessed any such scenes as are depicted in Uncle Tom's Cabir and kindred work of fiction. Th internal sup-frestions of htimflnitv and self interest were as rife in slave as in free territory." , Whilst this happy reunion was go ing on it occured to me that it h;:d been about two hundred and forty years since Milton said, "Peace hath her victories no less renowned than war." It has been over one hundred years since Ben Franklin-said, "There never was a good war nor a bad peace." This seems to be the com mon verdict of mankind, and yet as long as the devil runs loose there will be wars. In fact, I don't know but what there would be it the devil was dead, lor we are taught to be lieve that there is such a thing as original sin, which the devil nurses into total depravity. Nevertheless it is our duty to get all the good that we can out of the evil that befalls us. In fact, we would hardly know what good is if there was no evil. We wouldn't enjoy health if there was no sickness. We wouldn't enjoy prosperity if there was no adversity. And so if there had been n war we would have no reunions of th old soldiers, no pleas ant greetings, no campfire anecdotes, no thrilling recollections; in fact, we wouldn't be here at all, and there wouldn't be any eloquent speeches, and worst of all, nothing to eat. Very frequendy we are asked ques tions by our children or by the youths of this generation concerning the war that we cannot answer. How many soldiers did Georgia send to the war? How many were killed in batde or dered in the servicer How many many have died in prison? How since died? Most of these things are guessed at. Only a few months ago our Legislature determined to pen sion the Confederate widows and the committee had no data to go by and guessed there about six hundred and fifty, and so they voted them $100 apiece and appropriated $65,000 to pay it. But most of the committee were youngish men who didn't know how long a Confederate widow lived, especially if she lived in Carroll and only half the county heard from. Now there is some explanation for this. Those were gam ; women who sent their husbands to the war. 'Go and fight and whip them yankees," they said, "I'll run the farm and take care of the children until you come back." Game women are like game chickens they live a long time and as to Carroll having so many it was because Sherman ran all the women and children out of the region, and they just dropped over in Carrroll, where there was no railroad and a heap of hiding places, and after the the war they were too poor to get back again, and they are there yet. The trouble that now concerns the legislature is how to get out of the scrape, for they have pensioned these widows $100 apiece, and it will take half a million dollars a year to pay it Now there some facts that we do not have to guess at. For instance we know that there were sent from Georgia to the war 66 regiments of infantry num 56,000 25 battalions of infantry num. . . .22,500 11 regiments of cavalry num 9,350 34 battalions of cavalry num 10,200 66 companies 01 artillery num. . . .4,300 Making a total of. 92,350 These were the original volun teers, and there were added to them by recruits, 25,000 making a total of 1 1 7, 60. Not including: home guards. Now this is about "one-sixth of all the Conlederate army. Georgia showed her faith by her works. But what proportion ol all the sol diers still survive is a question where guessing is in order, but it is one record that over 30,000 of them fell or died during the war, and 4,200 of these died in northern prisons. It is probable that 40,000 have since died, and if that be a fair guess, then about one-third of the Confederate army still lives. The veterans are passing away very rapidly now, and we see before us many an old soldier who will not attend many more re unions. We have no pension rolls to tell us from year to year how many have fallen before the reaper. I be lieve that pension rolls would tell us down here, though they do not seem to show any deaths up North. I was talking to Dr. Headen about it yes terday, and he said that men wno lived on pensions and the bounty . of A the government and had no care or apprehension about food and cloth ing, did naturally live a long time Well, that may account for their not dying, but how does it account for the number increasing. They have now about seven hundred thous and on the rolls, just about as many as the confederacy had soldiers, and their records say they lost about seven hundred thousand during; the war. Good gracious, what a record These veterans helped to do it. They did their full share in swelling these pensions to $160,000,000 for the year r8oi. Thev ought to be ashamed of themselves for saddling such a debt npon the country. But they keep opening the pension door wider and wider. A man can now get a pension if he can't see as good or hear as good or walk as good as he used to, provided he will swear that he believes it came about by reason ol his service; in the war. The Youths' Companion, of Boston, told us not long ago about a man ap olvine for a pension because he had recendy cut his foot with an ax that he brought home from the army. And another paper told of a soldier who recendy died and had been drawing three pensions for eleven years. He volunteered as John Tom6on, got sick and was discharg ed; got well again and hired as a substitute, and put his name down Ijohn Thomson, got wounded and discharged and hired again as substi tute with the name of John Thomp son, with a P. He soon became an invalid and drew three pensions un der three different names, and they never found it out until his widow ap plied and got things mixed up. But enoutrh of that. It is all mighty bad, but the good of it is they have to pay more of it than we do, and they are getting awful tired of it. Our reuuion was of the survivors of the Fortieth Georgia, commanded by Colonel Abda Johnson, and Phillips's legion, commanded by General William Phillips. Colonel Johnson is dead, but General Philips was present in the flesh, and looks like he is good for many years to ! come. It is said that the rproeth Georgia is the only regiment that never changed many times. Indeed, there were six different lieutenant colonels, four majors and four adju tants. I remember that the Eighth Georgia changed its commander four times, and that Company A. in the First Georgia regulars, that went out under Captain H. D. D. Twiggs, changed it captain eleven times dur ing the war. Most of these changes are marked "k. i. b.," killed in bat tle, but some are from resignations and some from promotions and some from transfers. The privates did not change much. Death was their main chance. Sometimes the com pany fought down to the ragged edge. I heard Captain Neal say yesterday that one company in his regiment fought down to one man, and he had to stack his arms with another company for one gun won't stand alone. This reminded me of Jonas poor faithful Jonas an Israelite indeed, whom any town boy could slag around before the war and he never resented it. But he joined one of the Rome companies, and never lost a roll call or missed a battle or straggled on a march. I never remember that after a hard days march Colonel Towers called up his companies to see -hoav many men he had, and when he called for Company I., poor meek -hearted, sore-looted Jonas stepped forward and saluted the colonel. "Where is your companv?" said the colonel. Jonas gave another salute and meek ly said: "I ish der kompny. He aid not go to the war from cour age or for glory, but from a sense of duty. That duty he performed. Bill Arp. Guaranteed Cure for La Grippe. We authorize our advertised drug gist to se.i you Dr. King s New Dis covery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds, upon this condition.

Cicero. A Young IU an 'g Fancy. Large allowance is to be made for the sweeping assertion of the poet that "In the spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love." It certainly is not true of the malarial young man, whose fancy if he has any, is of the dull and heavy variety. The malarial young man marches around as the captive of General Debility. The readiest and most oovious means 01 escape are afforded by S. S. S., which, without any flourish, routs General Debility and his malarial allies. What is true of the young lady, and the whole host of sufferers. S. S. S. is a specific for malaria. Reason is to our passions, what the rains are to the coachman's team.

GOVERNMENT NOW IT WHILE YOU WAIT. MAKES Here la a New Departure Success Crowns the Efforts of the Texas Experiment With Explosive. Dallas, Aug. 16. A special from Midland, Tex., to the Dallas News says : The rainfall expedition from the United States Department of Agriculture reached Midland, Wed nesday, and have so far made two successful experiments. The News reporter interviewed one of the party who said : "Saturdav and Mondav last nart of the rain-making apparatus only was set up and the preliminary trial made simply ,to test the efficiency of the special blasting powder, which is being manufactured at the grounds from material brought with us. Sev eral bombs were exploded by means of electrical dynamos. Although the powderis very powerful, we were by no means confident that the explosion would have any practical effect upon the meteorological conditions. How ever, about ten hours after the explo sions clouds gathered and a heavy rain fell, extending many miles. "We do not thmk the explosions actually produced the storm, as they were not on a large enough scale, but they were undoubtedly instrumental in precipitating the moisture which the clouds brought to that locality and gready increased the intensity of the storm and the quantity of the rainfall, which was greatest in the immediate vicinity in the place of operation. We will continue to cau tiously make tests as to the density of the atmosphere in this particular ocahty, so that our bombs may be adapted to meet every possible con dition, and when we have sufficientiy satisfied ourselves upon these smaller points the decisive experiment will be made, which will not be for several days." The News reporter did not witness the experiments referred to above, but can testify to the rainfall in Mid land, over twenty miles from the spot of operations, the first good rain for several months. Midland, Tex., Aug. 19. The first octohydrogen balloon brought here by Gen. Dyrenfurth's rain-mak ing experts- was explooed yesterday on the ranch at an altitude of one quarter miles. There were a few scattered clouds in the sky at the time. The experiment was made at about 3 o'clock. There was no indi cation of ram, however, previous to the explosion. The balloon was exploded by elec tricity, and the report from it sound ed like a heavy clap of thunaer. Tne unusual sound coming from a clear sky stampeded a herd ol cattle near the ranch headquarters. Several kites with dynamite attached to their tails were sent up immediately after the balloons,, and the dynamite was exploded by electricity. Rendock powder was distributed lor a distance of two and three-quarter miles Irom the headquarters, and also exploded by igniting dynamos. It made terrific noise, and sent up great vol umes ot white smoke, which rose onlv a short distance however, and then were beaten down by the rain which at once began falling, and con tinued for four hours and twenty minutes. Incoming ranchmen and trainmen say the ram extended many miles. Prof Curtis, meteorologist for this rainfall expedition, estimates that the rain covers an area of not less than 1,000 miles. The explosions were easily heard twenty-five miles away and were mistaken for thunder by the natives. The delicate instrument for ascer raining the barometrical conditions showed the atmosphere immediately before the experiments to be extreme ly dry and not more than bo per cent of humidity. The explosions were followed by a rapid falling of the barometer and the rain came down in torrents. Be tween the ranch and this town, a dis tance of twenty -five miles, the roads were badly washed out by the heavy rain. As this dispatch is being written late this afternoon the sun is shining in a cloudless sky, but heavy claps of thunder are heard in the Cranch and there will undoubtedly be more rain shortly.

To Hold your It is the experience of the best Wilson county farmers that they get better prices for cotton sold as soon as ready for market. We have heard many so express themselves. Those wno held their crop last ia-i lost money. As a rule this is always true, and will remain so until there is some concert of action among; tne producers. Tne Statesvhle Lan( mark says: The News says a Mecklenbui farmer brought a bale of cotton I Charlotte recently that weighed 750 pounds. Last December he was ot- iered f)xt cents for it. The bale was so rotten that he was glad to receive $10 for the whole of it. Another farmer havmg one weighing 60s pounds. Only 307 pounds of it was ht tor market and for this he got 6m cents per pound after being docked for light weight. "A string ol 35 wagons hauling 140 bales of cotton to the depot, was a spectacle whicn at tracted considerable attention on the streets Tuesday. The cotton belong ed to Dr. J. H. Yount, of Shiloh township, and was being shipped to the C. E- Graham Manufacturing Company, of Asheville, to which had been sold at Tc. around. Some of the cotton was ot Dr. Yount's own raising but much the greater part of it he had bought last fall and winter on speculation. He sustains a loss ot about si soo on the lot, ana his selling at this time and at th fieure given is a clear indication ol his opinion that there is no ear probability of cotton going higher. "It is estimated that there are yet 2600 bales of last years cotton re maining unsold in this county. Some of this, which was last fall worth $40 to $45 per bale, is now not worth $10 owing to decline in price and to the cotton having rotted through like of attention. A farmer who was last fall offered qc. for two bales ot his cotton on the Statesville market hauled it home and sold it here Mon day at 6, and none 01 the uuyers were eager for it at that price." Everybody Knows. That at this season the blood is filled with impurities, the accumula tion of months of close confinement in poorly ventilated stores, workshops and tenements. All these impurities and every trace of scrofuia, salt rheum, or other diseases may be expelled by taking Hood's Sarsa parilla, the best blood purifier ever produced. It is the only medicine of which "100 doses one dollar" is true. Kansas All Right. The chigger may chig with all its might, and the mocking bird mock and sing, but the Kansas crops take the cake, and corn, you bet, is king. The cricket may crick and the frog let frog, and the farmer can chant his strain, for the Kansas crop is always on top when there's plenty of rain. The chinch bug may chinch and the grasshopper hop, and the hot winds made you tire, but if anyone says there are such things here, just call him a horrible liar. Oklahoma may boom and Texas howl, and Missouri shoot off her chop, but this is the place' to get a home and raise a great big crop. Marysville (Kans.) News. Why he Joined the Alliance.

WHAT CONSTITUTES A GOOD MORAL CHAKACTEK STILL UNSETTLED. Many Men or Many Minds, Many Opinion of Various Kind Our Good Friend Judge Armfield Seta np a Standard. Judge Armfield, in his charge to the grand jury on Monday, said that it was the duty of county commis sioners to grant liquor license when the applicant proved a good charac ter did not mean that he must be an elder ,in thefYesbyterian church. Taking couyage from this charge Mr. S. L. Phys Thursday morning reopened his saloon, which had been closed since last Thursday. States ville Landmark. So Mr. Tays admits his character is not as good as that of an elder in the Presbyterian church should be. And where does Judge Armfield get his law for the charge he gave, and the standard of good character he has erected? His charge sounds much like the slang of the grog-shop, and was no doubt very pleasing to the liquontes who heard it. Mr. Tays will probably be indicted for selling without license, and he may be surprised to hear from the udge who tries him that the Su preme Court, m Muller vs. The Commissioners of Buncombe, said: While the county commissioners have not the arbitrary right to refuse tc grant license at all, they are not bound to license an applicant if he oves a good character. The com missioners have a right to consider all the facts and circumstances sur rounding the application, should it be remsed, their action is final and can not be reversed by any court." This decjision has been referred to and ap proved in Jones vs. Commissioners, 106 N. C. Reports, page 436, which savs: 1 he issuance ot a license to il liquor by a board of county com missioners is a matter ot discreuon, and a mandamus will not issue to compel them to do so, it not being alleged and shown their refusal was bitrary." This law was reaffirmed in commissioners of Maxton vs. Com missioneis ot Robeson county, in 107 Reports, a case "on all fours with The town of Maxton had a local option election and voted for license Application was made to the county commissioners for license to sell in Maxton and was refused. The ap plicants used the town commissioners as plaintiff to strengthen the suit and then laued. The Supreme Court said: "When county commissioners reiuse ..cense to retail on the ground that the applicant is not a proper per son (not that he was not an elder in the Presbyterian church) a manda rrras will not issue to compel them to 00 so. I udge rmheld knows this law as weli as any man in North Carolina and we are mortified to learn he erec ted the ridiculous standard credited to him instead of following the decla rations of the Supreme Court.
