(Charlotte ObsenTer,) We are reminded by The Mont- gomeay Advertiser that .Judge Alton B. Parker, the Democratic candidate for President in 1904, made this statement in a speech in New York October 31 of that year: . . "Congress creates a new De partment of Commerce and La bor. Of that department the President of the United States appoints a Secretary. That Sec retary was his private'secretary. Within that Department provis ion is made for the collection from large corporations including the co-called trusts,' of information which, it ia to ba borne in mind, is to bo submitted to the Presi- bent fot private or public use as he may direct. By grace of the same Executive, this 8ecretary through whose Department this information is collected, becomes the chairman of the national Re publican committee. His chief duty has been and still is to col lect funds for the purpose of se curing the election of the Presi dent. And it is now notorious that there has resulted from this organized importunity-whatever may be the precise way in which it is made effective an overflow- inctreasury to the committee, of which boast is openly and con tinuallymode.". Four days later the President in reply to these charges issued an intemperate personal state ment, in the course of which he said: - "Mr. Parker's accusations a gainst Mr. Cortelyou and mc are monstrous. If true they would brand both of us. forever wit h infamy, and inasmuch as they are false, heavy must be the con demnation of the man making them. The assertion that Mr. Cortelyou had any knowl edge gained while in any official position whereby he was enabled to secure u nd did secure any con tributions from any corporation is a falsehood. The assertion that there has been any blackmail, direct or indirect, by Mr. Cortel you or by me, is a falsehood. The assertion that there has been made in my behalf and by my authority, by Mr. Cortelyou or by any one else, any pledge or promise, or thAt there has been any understanding as to future immunities or benefits, in rec ognation of any contributions from any source, is a wicked falsehood." , ' It has since been demonstrated that J udge Parker's charges were true. If this is not now conceded, we think that at least they are no longer denied; "but," as our Montgomery contemporary says "the President has never apolo gized for his conduct towards Judge Parker. On the contrary, while allowing Cortelyou to re main as chairman of the Repub lican committee, he promoted him to the position he now holds of Postmaster General, and has sent his name to the Senate for confirmation as Secretary of the Treasury." The President is, as was said a few days ago, the strangest of men. . " - New Cure for Epilepsy. ' J. H. . Waterman, of Waterman. O:.

Maclaren; ';-'. , v' ; ., OAOTOniA. v- rriUKDAY : TI10 Swing of.the Pendulum. You have often sat alone and listened to the steady, rnonoto- tick of the clock. Did it ever nous occur to you that every swing of the pendulum, every movement of the minnte hand was bringing you nearer and nearer to the dull inglorious end which has been de creed for you from the moment that your eyes first opened on the light of day? Have you ever stop ped to think that however com mendable your ambitions, all your plans and purposes will some day receive their quietus in an eternal silence? That all your tri als and tribulations, all your grudges and grievances will per ish with you. It is an inherent trait of the hu man race that each member there of plans and plots, hoards and lays up with a sort of instinctive feeling that he is going to live for ever. He will "chase the bubble reputation even at the cannon's mouth," and that fleeting . phan tom known as lame he courts with zeal and energy, never paus ing to ponder on-thefact thahis mingling with the things of earth is but of short duration. Thus being unmindful, he will waste his days and nights in a wild edeav- or to. reach the topmost rung of that flimsv ladder that the world calls "society" and if the climber has enough money he will be wel comed. The sen! of the dollar will hide all shortcomings. But the pendulum swings alike for the rich and poor. Whether it be on cased in gold, or covered with the cheapest product of the forest, it is steadily checking off the mile stones which mark the road to eternity. id sooner or later you will hear it tick for the last time. After that what? No one has yet come lack from the far distant shore to tell us what awaits us thereon. Scientists theologians, philosophers have made an ef fort to'pierce the veil which en shrouds our vision. But they have really told us nothing which would enable us to ward off that va gue, indefinite fear of the Great Unknown. Some bolder spirits have said that thislife will becon tinued in another world, and that all our joys, sorrows, ambitions, and failures, will go with us. But there are few' that accept that doctrine and practically none -who would want it so. All that we know and believe now is that "some day, some time," we will have run our race, the pendulum of life will stop for all time, and we shall then render an account of our stewardship. Gray wrote well in his immortal Elegy when he said: "The boast of heraldry, the pomp of power, And all that beauty, all that . wpalth e'er irave.

Marrying u woman for hermun ny is a vera mutch like setting a at trap and baiting it with yure own finder, It is hidilv important, when a man makes up his minde tew be- kum a raekall, that he shud amine hisself clusly, and see if he ain't better knostructed for a phool, I anrv in this way. if a man is rift-ht lie kan't be too radical, if he is roi: ?"T he kant be conserva- tiff, I beleave in the universal sal voshim ov men, but I want tew pick the men. The pure don't grow old enny more than a mountain spring dus. Rize arly, word, and late, live on what you kan't sell, give noth ing awa, and if yu don't die ritch and go tu the devil, yu may sue me for the damages. Marrhr for lov'ma be a little risk', but it is so honest that God kan't help but smile on it. I think i had rather have a now 7 inches and a half long (in the clear) than tew be thehansumest man in our county; for in the fust case i should work hard tew shorten mi noze bi some other case i probably should never lie told bi my looking glass that 1 was a phool. Awl human happiness is consor vatiff; 2 thirds ov the pleasure in j sliding down hill consists in draw ing the sled back, I don't serpoze there Avould be enny fun in slid ing down a hill 34 miles long. Aul ov us komplain ov life, yet we all waste more time than we uze. That some people are fond uv bragging about their ancestors and their grate descent ia jist what's the matter ov them. "We are told "that an honest man is the noblest worker ov God" but the demand for the work has been so limited that i have thought a large share ov the fust edishura must still be in the author's hands. I never bet anny stamps on the man who is always telling what he would have did if he had bin there; I hav notised that this kind never git thare. Success in life'jz very apt tew make us forget the time when we wusn't mutch. It iz jist , so with the frog on the jump; he kan't remember when ho waz a tad polebut other folks kan. I always advise short sermons, espfshully on a hot Sunday. If a minister kan't strike ile in bor ing 10 minntes, he has either got a poor gimlet, or else he is bor ing in the rong place. There is 2 kinds of politeness, the rip, and the too much rip po liteness; a goose has a great, deal Of this last kind ov politeness; i have seen thorn lower their heads while gone into a barn door that was 18 foot high. . God save the phools! and don't let them run out, for if it an'nfc for them wise men conldn't get a liven.' Pudden and milk is a good thing tew get happy on, but too mutch pudding and milk, even will worry a man. .

If the next Legislature does nothing but provide a place for youthful criminals separate from the hardened criminals, it will have done enougn to uesene a . , 1 - good page in history. Ifanemng ex-'grown person who is naturally possessed of sufficient ambition and energy to succeed and become I a useful citizen is sentenced to the chain gang or peunenu.M.y never now courage enougn to ny to out-live the odium and shame that such sentence carries with it, and he nearly always comes out of his punishment a dwarfed and cramped fellow, if he is not even worse in principle than he . . 1- J- X . was before serving the t-entonco. There is no chance for him to take an honorable position in society, and feeling this deeply he is humiliated Jind his energy is st ifled. Knowing how true this is, judges frequently show mercy to a young man for first offense, and properly so. If it is hnposible for a developed man to out-live the effect of a chain gang or pen itentiary sentence, can you ex pect it from a boy whoso char acter is undeveloped, who comes off the chain gang or peniten tiary where the State now shame fully places him, during the em bryo period of his" life, associat ing him withthe vilest characters in the State? We believe in giv- ing the boysj a chance, if they de part from their better training, and go wrong. A father or mot li er who would try to kick their sons down lower instead of try ing to redeem them, would be worse than the brute creation. The State not only refuses to give them a chance, but gives them a kick down hill. The next Legislature ought to rise boldly and bravely to the task and do its duty. The man who will measure the value of a youthful reformatory on a money basis and growl about the cost, could on the fsam? principle refuse to b u y 1 medicine for a sick child because it cost money. This thing of esti mating everything on a commer cial basis is sickening and dis gusting.
