Six copies of his address oh Stonewall Jackson were sent me and have ibeen disposed of. So'many more calls have reached me and continue to reach me for copies that I must request correspondents, to write to K. E. Lee camp confederate veterans, Richmond, Va., or to Dr. McGuire, who, no doubt, will gladly send copies. Inclose stamp, of course. confederate veterans' camp cannot circulate letter literature and no doubt will be pleased to do it. It is an honor to want it and an honor to "send it. like mercy, "it blesses him who gives ; and him who dost, receive." v r. .. And now there seems to be another war impending and somehow I can't keep from ruminating about it j It is a blessed; thing to help the starving Cu- ban8, I recall the time when hundreds of our people were starving no help came Inora the north. When the fowl invaders took every cow and calf and horse and mule and . hog and chicken and all the corrt and wheat and burned down the tovftis and left desolation behind them, and, like Weyler, said that the quickest way to end a war was toj make it horrible. The deadly parallel is always unwel come, but we can' f help drawing it sometimes, l,he Cubans are trying to dowbat we tried to do to dissolve a union and the -(people of these United States seem to think they are right. And they are, if they can succeed.. Jf they fall, why, of course, they are guilty of treason and ought to be hung gov ernment is a curious paradox. But "every body who can help ought to leip and do it. quickly. -.We old men remember well when the -first train load of corn came to Georgia from Missouri a gift from the yood people of that state, and how the hungry gathered at the depots along the lines to get a share. I remember when a check for ?3,000 was sent to me unsolicited by the gooa people vi Liberty, in (Jhiy county, and I indorsed; it to Governor Jenkins and that, too, was. invested in corn for the starving. . I remember when bread, cornbread, was all we asked for or hoped tor ana we sept a boat liOO miles down the river and -got-200" bdshela for" a hundred dollar' a bushel and my share was five bushels and I dident dare to keep it in town, but kept it hid out at Rowland Bryant's, six miles in the country and he. brought us in a little meal once a week and we were thankful Anything is better than war and my fear is that, the jingoes will "precipitate one without just cause. I see that the talk nov is about enforcing the Monjroe doctrine and ordering Spain to take hands off of Cuba. If the Monroe doc trine applies to Cuba now it did seventy rive' years ago when Mr. Monroe en un ciated it. Spain has owned -it-ever since Columbus discovered it 400 years- ago and it i3 absurd to apply the doctrine to it now. Let us go on and relieve the distress, of Uiose miserable people. Spain says we may and humanity says we must What a blessed thing is peace peace at home and abroad. While working in my garden today I felt conscious of its blessings and thankful, fcr I knew that Aunt Ann would have turnip greens and boiled ham for didner and eggbread and rice and potatoes and buttermilk and some kind of a dessert, and I knew that my wife and daughters and two or three grandchildren would be there. 1 realized that we were at peace with our neighbors, .white and black, and that the town was at peace, no quarrel8 or tights, and there was peace all oyer the county and the people generallv-were contented and reasonably happy. 1 .remembered that for years we had not locked our doors by day or by night, nor our chicken house nor barn. We have even torn away our front fence; any body can walk through our grove and lawn who wishes to. We have good schools and nice churches near at hand and our wives and daugh ters can go to meeting on Sunday and to the missionary on Monday and the aid society on Tuesday a'nd the literary I club on Wednesday, and the Daughters of the Revolution on Thursday and the Daughters of the Confederacy on Friday and the park committe on Saturday, besides the Epworth league and the Old Maids' Club and the musicale and some other entertainments thrown in. Then there are s various reception days and calling days and home talent shpws and bazars and so the women folks of this town don't have to stav at home any hardly if they don't want to. .

C, THURSDAY, APRIL 7, " - ment of the United States. i " . i The Famous Missionary Deliver an Inter. ; eating Discourse in Atlanta.. Atlanta Journal, March 28th. Revi Dr. Young J. Allen delivered an interesting discourse on mission work in China yesterday at Trinity church. It was not so much a review of mis sionary work as a statement of the great changes which are being wrought in the Chinese civilization by the leav ening influence of Christianity and the new ideas which of late are beinsr in-; troduced from tlxis country and Europe; Dr. Alien was introduced tn very complimentary terms by Dr. J. W. Roberts, the pastor of Trinity church, wno referred to nim as greater-tnan a president or a crowned head, and said that he was laying broad and deep the foundations of a future civilization in unina. 1 he speaker ixan his discourse- in a very striking way. ' Reading from the Acta the passage where the Apostle Paul had a vision in which a man of Mace donia stood and said, "Come .over into Macedonia and help us," he said that was the beginning of Christianity in Europe. , i "About the same time," he said. "the emperor of China had a yision. in which it was revealed to him that a Savior had appeared in the west. The emperor sent a commission of wise men to the west, along the road which, if followed straight would have led through Asia Minor to Antioch, hich was the headquarters for Pauf's missionary journeys. The commissioners took the wrong road where it forked southward, and instead of going to Antioch, their course deflected iuto India, where they met a sage whom they supposed to be the Savior. Instead it was a Buddhist philosopher, from whom they learned that religion. So it came that t!hina learned Buddhism instead of Christi anity, and there was the point ot de parture between the civilizations of the east and the west. Europe learned from Christianity light, life and liberty, and started on the path of upward pto- gress to. a higher civilization. Chiaa was benumbed ana shackled by super stition, which has clung to her people to this daw . ii Dr. Allen said there had been a grat change since the Japan-China wr. The work of writing a history of that war in Chinese had fallen to his bt, and in going .to the bottom of the origin of it and the causes that effected the ie- sult, he was obliged to make an ana lysis of the Chinese civilization, lais he outlined briefly to the audience. The Chinese, he said, are bound and helpless. They are the most helpless of civilized rjeoDle. They are bound - la many wavs. One of these is their idea that they are the superior nation. Jhey have been unwilling to look beyond their own horizon, or to learn anything from other nations. . They are educated people in their way, Hn the learning of the Chinese classics and think there is no people that can com pare with them. The result is that they for ages refused to admit outsiders at all. Until recently there were no mis sionanes in some of the interior pro vinces, lhey nave tneir own ureas about nature and would not, learn any- thing of natural philosophy from other nations It needed some manifestation of the power and wealth of other civilizations to open their eyes, and this came , in the war. Then they began to see that there was a civilization superior to their own. Their educated men had traveled abroad and had written back to the emperor but the letters had been sup- pressed and the people knew nothing of their contents. In the meantime the Chinese who come to this country and go "back are dbintr much to onea the eyes of their neoDle at home. They may be poor . and humble, but thtiv have eves to see and ears to hear. and, when they go back thp.w tell what thev have seen of the rivilization of the west. Dr. Allen said thai the Chinese have the rudiments of eveaything, but these ideas are undeveloped. "The Chinese," said he. "are like a winter scene. Ine buds and the roots of life are there, but it is all frozen up. By and by, when the life-giving sun shines on that sne. the buds will swell .and break forth into flower and frmt. Now the grass is brown and appears to be dead, but after the sun has warmi?a it, the hill sides will take on a , beau tif ul ver dure. That is the conditio.n of the Chinese. They are in darkness and all frozen up. .When they have leen .en i:Vfs1 Kir lha lrnnwlpHorft nf i -rOfl fln.l wlrmed bv His love, these : ru diments they have will begin to develop The speaker showed how the domin ion of man over nature, whicit is so striking a feature of our civilization;" is promised in the hrst chapter of Oenesis whereas the idea was . rejected by , Con fucius. -There was a great point of dif fArence' between the civilization of China and that of the western n ations He also showed that they had no ade ouate 'Idea of God, though the nam of God appears in i their books. They look forward to an al mostehdle8S series of transmigrations v,tr which the soul is at last earned to Nrirvnna. a nlace Of rest from the dis tresses of this life. Dr, Allen said that three years ago the emperor of China ordered that new subjects should be given in the civil ser vice examinations. ; inese sumecis were foreiem relations, nature studies or science, and several'other things 6f that .. - . kind. ' When tne examiners propouna- ed these subjects the candidates,; could not take them, and there was. great unknown in this section; to-day Cham murmuring at first.

In the partition, where each oj the great powers seek a sphere of action, England is exerting her influence for the freedom of trader United After Thirty-five Years. A little more than thirty-five years ago a iamily consisting of three persons, a widow and her two sons, resided in Worth county, Ga. The widow's name was Rogers, and her two sons were Cal vin and W uey, aged respectively twelve and thirteen years. Some time during the year of 1S63 Mrs. Rogers had occa sion to visit Macon and died there. When the war ended the two brothers had lost track of each other. Wiley himself was so young that'he soon for got be (even had a brother In course of time he faced the world on his own account, married, and, after living in several places, finally drifted, at the age of thirty-eight years, to Worth county, settling bn a farm near Sylyester. Mean while J. Calvin Rogers had becomev a man of family, and at the age of forty seven years was a prosperous farmer and highly respected citizen of his na tive county, living in the eastern sec tion, not far from the line of Dougherty. It was not long before partiee began to notice a remarkable resemblance be tween J. C. and W. Rogers. At first neither of them paid much attention to the remarks of friends on the subject, attributing the resemblance to a mere coincidence, but the eldest of the brothers resolved to investigate and sat isfy himself. The result is that the two brothers are reunited after a separation of thirty-five years. Wants Congressional fusion. Salisbury Sun, 22nd. The; Raleigh correspondent of the Charlotte Observer says in this morn ing's paper : '. 'A Populist said to-day (yesterday) that Senator Butler wants Congressional fusion, but does not want it nearly as bad as National Democratic Chairman Jones does." It will be observed by this that some of the Populist people as well as many of the Democratic people construed Na tional Chairman Jones letter to indicate his desire for Democratic-Populist fu sion, iioweyer, it is to be oDservea again, and witfr a considerable degree of satisfaction, that the Democratic Ex ecutive Com nittee have disclaimed this idea of the address, as has already been stated in thesecolumns. Hon. TheO. F. Klutz's inverview, published in the Sun, is conclusive that the address was not understood to mean fusion. Mr. Klutz is one of the State Executive Committee, was present at the committee's meeting February 22nd and !hould know, if anybody does, the feeling and opinion that prevailed among the committee at that time. The Democrats of the State, it is quite evident, do not want fusion of any kind. Mill Hands Coming: South. There arrived in New York Wednes- day, on a Fall River steamerfive fam- dies on their way to Charleston, for transfer to other cotton mill points in South Carolina. The pioneers in this new Southern movement tell the New York Mail and Express that others are to follow shortly, as a result of Southern advertisements in Eastern papers. This indicates, that paper thinks, the deter mination of the manufacturers in the South to secure a larger percentage of New England skilled labor as a basis for the training and direction of the colored worker. In addition, on Saturday dispatch from Rome, Ga., reported that hve new mills are in course oi erection i .. . ., . . , near mac city, tne loiai capacity oi which will be -30,000 spindles, with , main production of common prints and sheeting for Unentai markets, as tne Mail and Express has contended for the past two years, "the sooner the JNew England cotton mill capital seeks and finds investment in the South, the bet- tenor that capital. The Mail and Express may be consid- erably mistaken in it? explanation of the mission of these New England workers, but it issouna on tne conclusion wmcn it says, it reached two years ago Forty Tears in China. ' Probably the best-known white per son in the Chinese Empire is Dr. Young J. Allen, who reached San Francisco re cently. Dr. Allen has been engaged in missionary work at Shanghai for the Pa8t 40 years, and during the greater part of that time has devoted his efforts to the dissemination of knowledge in printed form among the Chinese. The mission with which be is ldent- fied was established '50 years ago, and he is now on his way to attend the semi centennial of that event, which is to be held at Baltimore during the month of May. After that he expects to return to China to resume his literary labors among the Chinese. ( The patriarch of Methodist missions is one of the best Chinese scholars in the Empire, and all of his literay efforts are in the Chinese tongue. . During all his years of work among the Chinese he has written something over lo0 volumes, most of which have found their way to every corner of the earth where Chinese are now living. Two years ago R. J. Warren, a drug- eist at Pleasant Brook. N. Y.. bought a small supply of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, hie sums up the result as follows: "At that time the goods were word."

Then he was given a thorough Turkish bath nis cnair in tne sweating room was placed in h shallow basin of zinc, so that the perspiration that poured down from his body ivouul all be retained: He was afterward nished through the re maining.features of the bath and put to bed Wlien he awoke he was found to 1 ,rLl .... nave entirely recoverea irom tne nitner to unaccountable stiffness of his limbs, his flesh being soft and pliable as an in fant's though his mind was still' affect ed. " . The next thing done was to examine the content of the zinc basin in "the sweating room. An assay of its con tents shawed that the mercury, admin istered ih the form of pills, had .passed off throngn tha open pores of the skin carrying with it the flour gold with which Boyle's body had been'saturated An assay by Superintendent, M: A Grant, if the Keystone mine, showed that the valueof the flour gold drawn from Boyle's body by means of mercury approximated $20.

ShelbvStar. ' Daniel Root, of No. 1 township, is a very eccentric old gentleman, .but withal a clever man. lie has peculiarities and 8$me of them would make interest ing reading. He is an old man, about 80, aid has owned a white horse all his life bot the same horse, but always a white one. He ia now living in the house in which he was born and the Are ip the fire-place has been burning for seventy-five years. No matches or kerosene oil haye ever been "used in this house. Mr. Root is hale and hearty and a. thrifty farmer. He has alway raised his supplies and never did buy any bacon, corn, wheat, etc., and all of the clothing worn by the family, is home-spun, Hard times don't affect him in the least he don't buy, and sel dom sells anything. He is independent of ikis surroundings and neither the oil trusts, stock gamblers or even the rail roads disturb his peaceful slumbers. The Same- Old Sarsaparilla. That's Ayer's. The same old sarsaparilla as it was made and C sold by Dr. J. C. Ayer BO years ago. In the laboratory it is different. There modern appli ances lend speed to skill and experience. But the sarsapa rilla is the same old sarsaparilla that made the record SO years of cures. Why don't we better it? Well, we're much in the condition of the Bishop and the raspberry : " Doubtless, " he said, " God might have made a better berry. But doubtless, also, He never did." Why j don't we better tne sarsapamiar We can't. We are using the same old plant that cured the Indians iand the Spaniards. -It has not been bettered. And since we make sarsaparilla com pound out of sarsaparilla plant, we see no way of improvement. Of course, if we were making some secret chemical compound we might.... But we're not. We're making the same old sar saparilla to cure the same old diseases, j Yon can tell it's the I same old sarsaparilla De f cause it works the same old I eures.

It is as this paper: said last Sunday the success of the Mormon missionaries is exaggerated. In almost every com munity there are a small number of ig norant people alwayB ready to run" after something newt This handful are now with the Mormons.; Next year .they would just as readily, take up-with the Mohammedans, the next with the Bud hists, or any 'other crowdwi preaching something new. ' They joio all the Pro testant churches by turns, And stay no where. , . -." i ; - ; ., The Presbyterian reported a Mormon church near Cameron of forty members and said : ; - ; ' ' jj j!'"r"'-M '-. "If, iu this Scotch Presbyterian sec tion, where parents will deny themselves the last of comforts for thejeducation of their children, the Mormofns can find their dupes what successj must they meet with among our quarjer, of a mil lion white people who are unable to read and in those sections where illiteracy is the rule and not the exception," The Sanford Express has been lnves- tigaing this statement and finds that tne Mormon church near Canieron "has only about eighteen or nineteen mem ben, only two of which left the Presby terian church. The people who belong to this church are the most ignorant class in the community and their parents didn t deny themselves the least of com forts for their education. " ; - The Monroe Journal j was not far wrong, when it said that the class that becomes converted to Mormonism is quite useless for propaganda purposes and is not woith losing i sleep over. Half of them expect the Mormon elders to support them and most' of the others expect to find some way to have a plurality of wives to support them in their idleness and wickedness. Spain's Appalling Uebt. 7 London', March 27.-"Th'e Economist'.' to-day presents a summary of the Span ish finances. The three Cuban loans aggregate 80,930,000, and the float ing debt is 14,000,000, jwith a monthly war expense of 1,000.000. Appalling as is this exhibit, the Madrid govern ment seems to be always able to squeeze more millions out of a bankrupt nation; it has arranged a fresW loan from the Bank of Spain. , It is undoubedly true that millions can still he raised in Spai 1 for war with America, it is the last resource of a desperate, resentful, prond-spirited pa triotism. Neither a Carsist movement nor a military ahsolutismj under Weyler is possible so long as iSagasta is willing to take the gambler s last chance, such as sending a torpedo : flotilla and fight ing ships with guns for bombarding the American seaboard dtiest 4ven if 1 Cuba be lost, after all. 1 r loss of energy which leads finally to con sumption is not always, very rapid, but if it isn't stopped it (will presently begin to saw its way into the most fcital part of the body, the lungs. ( There would be very little consumption if every family would keep Dr. Pierce'Sx-Golden iMedical Discov ery in the house, and use it whenever feel ing "out of sorti." " It keeps the entire body in such a high condition of health and forcefulness that wasting diseases have no chance to get a foot-hald. A teaspoon ful or two before meal9, Sn a little water, gives the digestive organism power to as similate the blood-making, nerve-toning, strength - building properties .of the food. It enables the liver and excretory system to clear the circulation of bilious poisons and remove all waste matter from the body. It replaces worn out tissue with hard mus cular flesh, and changes weak "ss and debility into active power and nerve force. The originator of this great V Discovery." R. V. Pierce, M. D., is jchief consulting physician to el great Invalids' otel and Surgical Institute of Buffalo, Nj Y., at the head of a staff of nearly a. score of eminent associate physicians and surgeons.
