f PRIVATE WHITE, C. S. A.
Chief Justice' Appointment Beautiful
Christmas Present to South.
Roanoke Time*.
Suppose 46 years ago somebody
had told Private White, C. S. A.,
| trudging along, ragged and happy
and shooting at the United States
flag whenever he saw it, that he
■ would live to be appointed Chief
Justice of the United States Su
« preme Court by a President from
Oh'o and a Republican. Napoleon
used to enoonrage his men by tell
ing them every private carried in
bis knapsack the baton of a mar
shal of France; but nobody ever
F told a private of a hostil army that
he had in hiahead the Chief justioe
ship of the greatest and most re
|, sponsible court on earth. Really
the Chief Justiceshlp is a higher
| place than the Presidency. It is
the place Mr. Taft ooveted and
(or which he tried to avoid being
President. Tet the Confederate
private, the Democrat, gets it
from the' Republican President
and is confirmed by a Republican
'/ Senate unanimously, except for
I the chronically and constitution
ally and unconstitutional abi
surd Heyburn.
II is one of the wonders of our
y modern progress and development.
It oomesaa a beautiful Christmas
gift to the South and to the former
comrades of Private White, C.S.A:
• message of peace on earth and
good will and justice to all men in
L thia oonntry—men of all sections
and parties and creeds. We used
to have horrible fears of a Roman
Catholic, aa President. Here is a
Roman Catholic rather higher
than the President, appointed by
a Unitarian and voted for by men
of many beliefs. And we had a Jew
in the Cabinet nntilhe declined
father service. In all of which
there is material for some deep
and solemn and joyous thought.
We are getting away from bigotry
and narrowness and sectionalism
and prejudice and disturbing
antagonisms, and getting away
very fast.
Mr. Justice White hss achieved

and character. Yet he would nof
have reached where he is if the
American people had not electee
as Presidents Cleveland, theDem

Washington Letter
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 14.
International Exposition boom
ers for the celebration of the com
pletion of the Panama canal are
at work in Washington. San
Francisco and New Orleans are
the contending cities. The capi
tal of the United States, where
the exposition should really be
held, is not saying much. San
Francisco isflourishingseventeen
milion dollars her claim, while
New Orleans with ten millions
insists that this amount will go
farther owing to the proximity
of that city .o the rest of the world
than will seventeen millions on
the Pacific slope. An, advocate
for Orleans puts it that Con
gress will be responsible in saying
which city is most accessible to
all the people of the United States
claiming that New Orleans is two
thousand miles closer to the center
of population and two thousand
miles nearer to Panama than San
Francisco and that the latter city
is more than three thousand miles
farther from the priucipal nations
which are likely to send exhibits.
It is claimed thai the center of
population of the United States is
near Cincinnati and five hundred
miles from New Orleans, while
San Francisco is two thousand
five hundred miles from this cen
ter. Within nine hundred miles
of New Orleans, it is said, there
are seventy cities with a combined
population of twenty millions,
while within nine hundred miles
of San Francisco are only eight
cities and their combined popula
tion is one million. With Wash
ington as a starting point, it is
said that it take* four days to
reach San Francisco and only a
little more than one day to reach
New Orleans, while the cost
including berth to San
Francisco is $93, and to New Or
leans $33. All these arguments
to the pocket are important but
apply with still greater force to
the selection of Washington,
which is closer to the population
of the United States and to the
world than either New Orleans or
San Francisco. To those who
have followed the social, industri
al and political tendencies of the
Pacific slope for the last five years
a serious objection to holding an
international exposition in San
Francisco is that that city is ran
tankerously opposed to the Jnp
anese, Chinese and other Orientals
who necessarily make Buch a large
part of every internatjno&l exposi
tion and that, should the exposi
tion be held there,there wonld be
perpetual danger of artificial
earthquakes more serious in their
ultimate effects than the catas
trophe whieh destroyed San Fran
cisco a few years ago.
Stastitics show that our exports
to China have declined from fifty
eight millions five years-ago to
one half million in 1010. The
Chinaman is frequently referred
to as an enigmatical creature, but
those who have studied him in his
own habitat realise that there is
• groat deal of human nature tn
.him and that he has abundant
shrewd common sense. The Chi
naman la not a first class fighting
man, but he la not unresontful of
wtong. He has been outrageously
treated in this country and especi
ally on the Pacific coast aud
organised into unions as a Euro
pean army is int. regiments, the
average Chinaman or to the China
man much above the average, that
this ooantry remitted some mil
lions of the Boxer indemnity.
That was a btate affair, and
there is no word In the Chinese,
language for patriotism because
the idea is totally non in
the Celestial kingdom.
It la beginning to be realised that
we are building the Panama Canal
for Germany, Great Britain, Jap
an and other nations that carry
freight by sea. It is evident that
the trading shlpa of other nationa
will use the waterway to a much
greater extent than will the peop
le of thia country. How eaa it be
otherwise. O or ships, owing to
the tariff and the high price of
labor, ooet 80 percent more than

AN APPRECIATION. 1
. •' —]
Editor Gleaufer, Dear Sir: 1
fore taking my Mvi'TOm the
town of Graham, I wish to say a ■
few words in appreciation of her 1
citizens.
THE PASTORS.
My fin>t word is for my breth
ren in the ministry. We have la
bored together for the bringing in
of the Kingdom and for the
strengthening of Zion. It has
been our privilege to mingle in
the hoiue, in our Pastors' Associ
ation, in special meetings for soul
winning, in my church, and in
theirs, in special services in the
court house, the opera house, and
in the open air.
In nil of these meetings our re
lations have been pleasant. With
an open heart I can say that I
have nevdr been associated with
a more, congenial group of pastors.
THE CHURCHES.
1. My own. For nearly five
years these brethren and sisters
have shown their love and loyalty
for an imperfect under shepherd.
Some of the "Lord's aunointed",
some of the "salt of the earth",
have soood by me, encouraged me
in many a dark hour, cheered and
buoyed mo up when almost ready
to despair.
The church has gone forward
nobly. The records show the
material, but spiritual gain can
be measured only by the willing
ness and ability to do. We have
not been torn asunder by any in
ternal divisions. I believe that
many have done the best work of
their lives, so far, within these
years. Their many kindnesses,
their loving sympathy, their
brotherly fellowship have given
to many a dark cloud its silver
lining.
2. Other churches. It lias been
a source of much satisfaction to
me that the various churches have
shown themselves so universally
kind and appreciative. In works
and in deeds, they have manifes
ted the spirit of the Master as they
"passed through Samaria" with
their evidences of love and good
will.
TH£ PROFESSIONAL MEN.
Here kindness has been multi
plied beyond expectation.
1. Teachers. My work haa been
contemporary with three superin
tendents of the Graded Schools. I
regard them all as christian gen
tlemen, and educators of a. high
order.
2. The Bar. During these years
I managed to keep* out of the
courts. lam free to say that my
esteem for the legal profession
has been elevated greatly.
i Without exception the lawyers
i of Graham have shown me every
' courtesy that I could ask at their
hands.
3. The Physicians (including
Dentist). I have not been so for
i tunate as to keep ut of tho hands
of the physicians. Out experience
has been quite unlike the wonfan
i who suffered many things of many
i physician*, however, During
- our stay we have had the services
i of every physician in town, be
i aides Drs. MqPherson, of Haw
i River, and Dr. Anderson, of Bur
i l.ngton. These men have been
• among our best friends. They
; have helped us when we could
' not help ourselves. We do not
' hope to be so fortunate in a u y
• other community.
1 , BUSINESS MEN.
1. The mill owners have Bhown
> themselves willing to cooperate
■ with the pastors in their efforts to
ido good. We have needed only
• to call their attention to any en
' terpriae that waa certainly for the
I public good, and they were at
i once ready to help.
i 2. The Newspapermen. The
i Tribune daring its life, and the
Gleaner, all through my stay
i here, have held themselves ready
to print any matter that I ever
handed them. In fact they al
ia disorders and dia
bases of children drugs
seldom do good and
often do harm.
Careful .fpeding and
bathing are the babies'
remedies. '

lowed me to publish, at their ex*
pense, any matter pertaining to
my work.
- a,. The Merchants. To a man,
I have found the merchants of
Graham kind, considerate, accom
modating. They have been ex
ceedingly obliging to me. I can
not say of one of them in any
transaction, "You did not do me
right.*" I think that these men,
as a rule, do more work, at great
er expense, for what they get out
of it than any number of merch
ants that I ever saw.
OUR NEIGHBORS.
Into this table I might place the
names of many of Graham's citi
zens, and then extend the list so
as to include the surrounding
country and villages; but for pres
ent purposes, let it mean those
who lived in Our immediate
vicinity and near to us. Our re
lations with them have been ex
ceedingly pleasant.
I once heard the expression:
"When one takes snuff, the oth
ers sneeze". More to the point,
and in many cases literally true,
I prefer to write it; "When one
killed hogs, the others ate sau
sage."
We make no comparisons, for
injustice might be done to others,
but we can truthfully say that
our neighbors are among the very
best. Wherever our future lot
may be, these sympathizing shar
ers in our sorrows and our joys
shall ever be indelibly fixed in
the tablets of memory.
FINALLY.
It has been my privilege both
to weep with them that weep and
to rejoice with them that rejoice.
Many have invited us to partake
with them on festive occasions.
More have asked us to* kneel by
the bed of sickness and to stand
before the open grave. If in
any way good has been done, give
praise to God.
Our greatest joy has been to
see so many giving their lives to
the service of our
Our greatest sorrow has been
the widespread indifference to
spiritual things.
Men who have never Spoken an
unkind word, nor done an unkind
deed to me personally have grieved
me sorely by the utter disregard
for their.obligations to God.
I begrudge their noble lives to
! to the devil, whom they prefer to
■ serve. May they yet turn to God
i and live.
Sincerely,
i S. W. OLDHAM.

To THE PEOPLE OF ALAMANCE
COONTY.
The situation in Alamance is
quite peculiar and to say the
least demands the serious ton
sideration of every honest man
and taxpayer.
The issuance o. bonds for roads,
whether wise or otherwise, is a
fixed condition and wtfas tax pay
ers must meet it. The public was
told during the campaign that if
t e bonds were voted that the tax
would not and could not be raised.
Perhaps those who s(iid so believed
it to be true at that time, and had
the expenditure extended oyer
ten years, or $20,000 used annual
ly and the rest put at interest to
offset accumulating interest on
bonds, it is quite probable that .
the tax would not have required
increasing because the advance i
in property in. the county would t
have kept pace with the increase e
in -annual bond interest. But l
when it was decided to sell the t
bonds and expend all the money t
at once and thereby precipitate
the full ten ihousand dollars in- 1
terest plus the sinking fund at e
once, it completely absorbed the
road fund and left the old board
with nothing to repair or extend ]
the road work of the county. The
Supreme Court has decided that
public roads and bridges ar> a
public. necessity and the county
commissioners must borrow money j
if necessary and keep them in re
pair and make such extensions as
may be necessary to the public I
safety and travel. In consequence i
of this situation the county com- 1
missioners, for two years past, 1
have had to borrow money and '
maintain the roads in that way. I
No one could have done different 1
and the public cannot justly cen- '
sure the old board. Without re- :
lief at this legislature the present '
board will have to follow in the
same course with ever increasing
difficulties and debt.
At first impression or e would be 1
prone to censure the joint Board
for voting to expend all the money
at once, whereby the Highway
Commission was empowered to
make contracts covering the entire
$200,000, to be oompletecj and paid '
for within two or three - years.
Yet, after a more mature reflec- i
tion, it will appear tuat if the
roads are worth the interest on
the money they cost, the sooner
we get the money in roads the bet
ter it is for-the public. But that
is neither here nor there, the fact
is we are face to face with a con
, dition. We have a bonded debt
of $250,000 and a floating debt of
some $30,000. Now my idea is to
ask the .Legislature to allow the
Commissioners to refund the float
ing debt with five per cent, bonds
and then levy a tax sufficient to
take care of those bonds, interest
and sinking fuhd. Tliis will re
quire SIO,BOO annually. As prop
[ erty increases in valuation the
1 rate will decrease. This will take
' care of the bonds.
> The next step lis to take care of
' the roads and extend them to the
1 county limits. Manifestly it vill
7 not be just to all parts; of the
7 county to Stop and build no farth
-1 er. The only thing possible iB to
' put on a road tax suffioieno to con
tinue the work. The improved
* roads built by the bonds perhaps
benefits 3-4 of the taxable proper
»- ty of the county and it is but just
' that this property should con
' tribute to the furtherance ofgood
roads, so that/the outlying por
tions of the county shall all be
* ultimately reached. A moment's
reasoning will convince the man
in the outlying parts of the coun
l ty that this is just and his inier
( eat is to be Hi hearty sympathy
J with such a policy. All must c >n
tribute to pay the bonds., Why
8 not all contribute to extend the
7 roads?
I will suggest a plan, which to
my mind will enable the county to
/ make end extent good roads prac
r tically and yet do it at the mlni
mum of cost in cash to thecounty
. It is thia: Separate roadextenson
; and permanent improvements
J from repairs. Let the County Com
. missioners have charge of the
extension and permanent work
$ and let the repairs be under a
3 township board of three members
e Leu them meet four times a year
and pass on alt matters pertain
ing to the repairs of the roads in
their respective townships and cqr
tlfyto the Board of Cpunty Com
e missioners the amount of money
g in th«^township, whicfT amount
will be levied against the property
\ of the township and spent in the
H township were raised. Let each
, township decide for itself whether
' it wants an all cash system, or a
part cash and part free labor or
all free labor, for repairs. If the
(j repair work is taken off the coun.
ty and the County Commissioners
and Road Superintendent put de
r» finitely and continuously at build
e ing improved roads and extending
y them it will be possible for the
ooonty to build ten to fifteen miles
annaliy of gravel, sand-clay and
L soil roads, and an occasional sec-
I tion of macadam may ,be built. In
) other worbo let the County Com
mission era and the county road
force do nothingbut build improv
ed roads, just as the Highway
Commission is now empowered to
do and bnltd such roads as shall
Intbeir judgment be of thegreat
t- est good and meet the moat-press
d ing needs of the oonnty. This
method will give the county of
Alamance a good system of roads
and do it at a coat whithin the
ld means of the people and not in
-18 crease the debt a penny.
II It behooves every citizen of the
» county to think and act, for some
thing should be done at thia legis
» lature to relieve the Board and the

Rheumatism and Blood Disease*
The cause of rheumatism Is excess
uric acid in the blood. To cure rheu
matism this add must be expelled from
the system. Rheumatism Is an Inter
nal disease and requires an Internal
Temedy. Rubbing with oils and lini
ments may ease the pain, but they will
no more cure rheumatism than paint
will change the fiber of rotten wood.
Cam Rheumatism To Stay Cared.
Science has discovered a perfect and
complete cure called Rheumaclde. Test
ed In hundreds of cases, It has effected
marvelous cures. Rheumaclde removes
the cause, gets at the joints from the
inside, sweeps the poisons out of the
system, tones up the stomach, regulates
tne bowels and kidneys. Sold by drug
gists at Mc. and II; In the tablet form
