T11K GLORIOUS FOURTH OF
JULY,
jlow Uncle William Arp Spent
the day. He talks
ou Other Matters!
About Vari-
The 4th of July ia a big thing
v e bad forgotten that It is so
big and it is a good sign that
oar people are waking up to it
again. The first rebellion gave
it birth and we were proud of
it but the last wad such a fail
ure and brought bo much
trouble that rebellions were at
a discount and we quit celebrat
ing we hung our harps on the
willows ana like the Jewish
captives, refused to sing the
lord's song in a strange land,
but we are all harmonizing now
and it is a good sign to see our
people celebrating the same old
Fourth, The first rebellion was
against the old ma 1 and the
boys whipped- him but when
the boys got to fighting one
another with no ocean betwe'en
it was a different thing. s The
first declaration of independ
ence that great secession docu-
. ment was conceived at lyil
liamsburg, Va., in the old Ka
leigh tavern, but it had to go
over to Philadelphia to be born,
because there was a big bell
there, I reckon. Williamsburg
was the seat of government of
the Virginia colony, and the
declaration was read there on
the 1st of June, by Thomas
Jefferson to the house of bur
gesses, and a mere solemn
scene was never witnessed.
There waj no hilarity, no gush,
' no enthusiasm. The whole thing
was like a funeral. Love, for
the fatherland and fear of her
. power were mingled with a
, burning sense of her tyranny
and oppression. The older
members dreaded to cut the
cords that bound themxand had
the declaration been left to a
1 quiet vote it never would have
carried, but, when Patrick
Henry closed his immortal
speech, the house rose np as one
man, and with quivering emo
tkm indorsed his closing sent!
ment Give me liberty or give
me death. History says that
one of the delegates said an
hour afterward that he would
give five hundred pounds to re
call his vote. It was a terrible
, trial, and reminds ns . of the
solemn passage of the ordi
nance of secessson iu 1861
John Adams and Patrick Hen
ry wera the oca tors and carried
the day by storm. There was no
resisting their patriotic elo
quence. It was like a great
tidal wave and overwhelmed
everything. The like of it had
never been heard before, and
Daniel Webster said would nev
er be heard again. Let the young
men of this age read that his
tory and it will do them good.
In soul-stirring emotions it sur
passes all the romances ever
I written. It is far mote sublime
tban Burke s impeachment of
Warren Hastings, for the cause
was greater ana tne men were
greater. The old independence
bell was rang until it cracked,
I and strong men met npon the
streets and wept.
Well, now, what was this all
, about ? Nothing very much oat
side of principle. We would
not call it a very great oppres-
eion now. The bigarest thing
was a little tax on tea a sort
I of tariff that did not protect.
1 Nobody drank tea but-the New
England yankees. The stamp
act had beeu repealed two years
before. But all the Southerners
' from Maryland down were just
' as mad about that tax as if it
had been on whisky. There
was no whisky here, but New
England rum was all the same
thing to them. . Everybody was
fighting mad--even the citizens
of the city of brotherly love.
They went to fighting, and they
whipped the fight, and it was
glory, and we are all proud of
it ; but if they hadn't whipped
it and had been forced back
under old Johnny Bali it would
have been treason, -and there
would have been more amend
jnents; made to the English
constitution than you could
tote on a stick. When these
rebels made a constitution af
ter the war was over, 1 Patrick
Henry and old Ben Harrison
refused to sign it for ' a long
time because it did not secure
the rights of the States as
. strong as they wanted. At the
last they signed under -protest,
aqd the .historian says that
Henry never recovered from his
fears that some day the States
would lose, their separate inde
pendence. ' ' . . ' " ?
I heard an old whig say not
long ngo that Jefferson was
more of a - demagogue than a
statesman, and that the declar
, ation of independence was no
extraordinary document, and
most any b in art . school boy
cuum write a more gram
matical composition. ". 'For in
stance,' said he, 'take the first
eatence wherein he says, 'a
decent respect for the opinions
-, 01 mankind.' Now what kind
of respect is that ; who ever
heard Of an inrlnf.Anfc rnnnnnf
Why dident he say 'respect for
the opinions of mankind.'
What made him put in that
useless and inappropriate ad
jective.' .
I heard another man say that
Jefferson didn't compose much
of that declaration, nohow, but
got it from old Mecklenburg, in
North Carolina, where secession
had its birth two months be
fore. That is what a tarheel
told me. I was talking to a
Scotch Presbyterian yesterday,
and he said that Jefferson got
the general bang of the thing
from the confession of faith.
Well, it don't matter. It is a
lively old document, and is
still good reading on the Fourth
of July, or any other day, - ?
Last Wednesday I ran over
to Tallapoosa to see how those
imported yanks were getting
along and how they were going
to celebrate the day. They did
it np in style. They hoisted a
flag pole 110 feet high and
floated a j splendid streamer of
stars and stripes from the mast
head. Gay bunting adorned the
stores and hotels and dwellings.
Five, thousand people filled the
streets. A regiment of men
marched arm in arm in pairs
a rebel on one side and a yank
on the other, just as they did
at Gettysburg. Splendid music
filled the air and the olar
Spangled Banner alternated
with Dixie arid everybody
shouted and cheered for both.
Patriotic songs were sung by a"
choir of fifty trained singers.
Then came the reading of the
declaration, and lastly the ora
tors were on hand and disting
uished themselves and made
the turkey bumps rise on the
spinal columns of every pat
riot son and daughter, Col.
Hanson, the great apostle of
protection, made a splendid
speech as he always does, and
he captured the audience, es
pecially the yanks by his wit
and his wisdom. George Adair
never faUs, and General Young
was in his glory. I didn't catch
all of George's thrilling speech
fori was too remote, but he
told me himself that he made
a splendid one. He began with
Bonaparte's great speech to his
army in Egypt. "Soldiers, forty
centuries are looking down
upon you from the heights of
those pyramids." t But there
are no useless pyramids here to
mark the tyranny of kings or
the downfall of a mighty na
tion. There are no soldiers here
and no forty centuries eithe.
But only about forty weeks are
looking down upon ns from the
Tallapoosa hills hills that are
nature's peaceful monuments
and that are to-day smiling
down their smiles upon this ex-
hilerating scene. j
Tell me ye winged winds
That round my pathway play,
Blow ye on ary sbot j
Like our own Tallapoo -say.
And the winds said, nay. In
due time he got warmed up to
his work and put .in lively on
Marco Bozaris.
Strike for the green graves of your
sires, . k
Strike for your . altars and your
nros. t
as lively and as happy as a jay-1
bird. , Three yankee girls : are
here teaching school, and I'll
bet that some of our widowers
will marry them before the
year closes. Away back before
the war, when . yankee girls
used to come South and teach
school, our widowers married
them as fast, as they came.
They were- smart, self-reliant
and economical, and that is the
kind of a wife a widower
wants. .. ' ' :"' :
There is a law saw mill plant
and a big planing mill that
were brought from Michigan by
Michiganders. They are grad
ing streets and boulevards, just
like they do in Atlanta or any
other pretentions town. There
Is not a drone in that bee-gum.
Everybody works. If one of
our home made mechanics goes
there to work he soon learns to
take a livelier lick for be has
got to keep up with the yanks
or quit. These people have
come to stay and our people are
giving them a warm welcome.
They will help us in many
ways, it tney nave not got tne
iron for their furnace they just
step over to Bartow and buy it
and by ani by they will be sel
ling to Bartow their wagons
and wheelbarrows and glass and
all sorts of contrivances. I
wish that more of these yanks
would leave that blizzard coun
try and come down to this
blessed 1 land where they can
spend the rest of their days in
comfort. If they want to break
up the solid South and have a
national brotherhood that is the
way to do it.

a huge olive branch and sworn
tq bury all their qnarrels. The
Democrats were warned that
hereafter, in that State they
would have to meet a united
foe, and that her electoral vote
was in danger. It transpires
that the basis for rumor was
the fact that Mahone and Rld
dleberger have united in an
effort to bury Wise. As long
as there was a friendly Nation

a chance that the Vlnrlna
Republicans would , hold to

takeu away, they promptly fell
to quarreling. They are not

Our Tell Tale Eyes.
Black (dark brown) are a sign
of passionate ardor in love. -
Dark blue, or violet, denote
great affection and purity, but
not with much intellectuality.
Hear; light blue, with calm
steadfast glance, denote cheer
fulness, gcod temper, con
stancy. Pale blue, or seal colored,
with shifting motion of eyelids
and pupils denote deceitfulness
and selfishness.
Russet brown without yellow
denote an affectionate disposi
tion, sweet and gentle. The
darker the more ardent the pas
sion.
Blue, with greenish tints, are
not so strongly indicative of
these traits but a slight pro
pensity to greenish tints in
eyes of any color is a sign of
wisdom and courage.
Gray, or greenish gray, with
orange and blue shades, and
every varying tints, are the
most intellectual, and are indi
cative of the impulsive, im-
impressionable temperament
the mixture of the . sanguine
and bilious, which produces
poetic and artistic natures.
Light trown or yellow denote
inconstancy ; green, deceit or
coquetry. Eyes of no particu
lar color (only some feeble
shades of blue or gray; dull, ex
pressionless, dead looking), be
long to the lymphatic tempera
ment, and denote a listless,
feeble disposition, and a cold,
selfish nature. Exchange.

that he had no right to eman

abolish slavery even in the
District of Columbia and the
platform upon which he was
elected President in 13G0 declar

did not propose to interfere
with slavery in the State. Iu
