BILL ARP'S LETTER.
HE SATS
INGERSOLI. WAS
WHEN HE SAID
WRONG
He Would Give a Divorce to Every Wjman
Who Asked for One Whether Her Hus
band Violated His Contract or Not.
"Is marriage a failure ?" We see
that question going around and being
discussed. II I knew what particular
marriatre thev are talking about
maybe I could answer. I know sev
eral that are failures. But as a gen
eral proposition they might as well
ask, "Is man a failure, is woman a
failure, is creation a failure?"
But suppose marriage is a failure,
what are you going to do about it ?
Mr. Ingersoll says untie the knot.
Let a man untie it lor a cause and a
woman without cause. His precise
lansruaee is, "I would give divorce to
every woman who wanted it, whether
the man had violated the coutract or
not." Surely he didn't mean that.
He didn't reflect on the consequences.
It is a kind of "free love" that we
thought was abandoned even in New
England. Ij shocks the judgment of
all mankind. What would become
ol the children if the mother was per
mitted to change husbands at her
pleasure ? Maybe in her caprice she
would want some other woman's hus
band and would destroy the peace
and happiness of that family. Mr.
Ingersoll's theory is to let every
woman float around loose until she
found her affinity, but sometimes a
woman loves a man who doesn't love
her; what then? The poor fellow
would have to run away, I reckon,
and il he was uncommonly good
looking another woman would grab
Btrn on the run in fact, two or three
might grab him and fight over him,
for the scriptures do tell us of a time
when seven women shall take hold of
one man. Good gracious ! From
such a calamity good Lord deliver us.
Mr. Ingersoll ought to write a book
on "Divorces made easy," and tell us
what is to be done with the- children
the poor litde innocent things who
wouldn't have any lather to speak of,
and hardly any mother ; no happy
home, no parental training, no com
fort for you see their mother might
be living with another fellow. Mr.
Ingersoll says that "parents make a
mistake in bringing up their children,
instead of letting them grow." Was
there ever such theoretic nonsense
uttered by a learned and intelligent
man? We have all admired his
beautiful expressions, his tenderness,
his sympathy, his exquisite pathos of
thought, but his utterances in his late
lecture in Chicago would indicate that
the man has lost his reason. In his
desire to obliterate the Bible and all
its teachings, he makes a stab at
marriage and training up children and
at the Christian Sabbath. He says
that "a man who says the Columbian
fair should be closed on Sunday is a
momument of impudence." He is
welcome to his company, for every
immoral woman, every anarchist,
every lawr breaker is on his side. On
the other side are all. the great and
good men of the centuries that have
passed from Milton to Shakespeare
down to Macauly and Gladstone.
All the greatest philosophers and
poets of the past 200 years stand as
firm as a rock upon the Bible and its
teachings, and it does not become
one man, however learned, to array
himself against them. To do that a
man must be a "monument of im
pudence." Dr. Samuel Johnson, the
profoundest thinker and philosopher,
says :
"Religion, of which the rewards are
distant and which is animated only
by faith and hope, will glide by de
grees out of the mind unless it be
invigorated by external ordinances
and by stated calls to worship." One
man cannot destroy the sanctity of the
Sabbath. It is strange that he would
wish to. I heard a Jewish rabbi say
in a public lecture : "I do not believe
in your Christian religion. It is not
my faith nor the faith of my fathers,
but I would not live in any but a
Christian country, under Christian
laws and Christian rulers. A Chris
tian civilization has done more for
humanity and liberty and progress
than all others, and offers the best
protection to my children any prop
erty." I do not believe that an agnostic or
infidel or gambler or cheat or swin
dler, if he has a family, would tear
down the spires of our churches or
muffle the sound of the Sabbath bells.
Every man, however self-debased, has
a hope for the welfare of his children.
Mr. Engersoll lectured on "Liberty"
and in his enthusiasm over his subject
he wants every man and woman and
child to do as they please, especially
the women and children. He says
that "men are slaves, and women are
the slaves of slaves, and children are
something worse." If men are slaves
who are the masters ? If there is any
slavery at my house Mrs. Arp doesn't
know it, and every morning at day
break my rooster crows, "Woman
rules here," and I hear it echoed over
at Judge Milner's and John Akin's
and Dr. Kirk's, and even old Uncle
Simon Peter's ducks say, "Quack,
quack, that's a iact." Solomon said :
"Train up a child in the way he
should go for when he gets old you
can't."
And Pope said "Just as the twig is
bent the tree's inclined." To my
opinion there is most too much liberty
everywhere in this land of freedom. I
am certain the boys have too much
for they shoot my pigeons in my own
trees and Mrs. Arp says we mustn't
! say anything about it for fear of hurt
ing feelings.
Mr. Ingersoll wants them to grow
up as they please and frolic every
day and on Sunday to wake up and
sing:
Welcome, sweet day of fun,
That saw the Fair aiise ;
The gates are open and I'll run
And feast my longing eyes.
Or that other hymn now changed
to read :
Thine earthly Sabbaths, Lord, we love,
And to the Fair my feet I'll shove.
Now I don't belieVe in penning the
' children up all day on Sunday with
the shorter catechism, but 1 do be
lieve in training them to have respect
and reverence for the Lord's day, and
to go to Sabbath schools and church
and read stme in the Bible. The
devil has a good chance to work on
them all the week days, and it is well
to fortify against him one day in seven
and repair the breaches. I look
around me wherever I eo, and I find
the best people are on the side of the
church and the Sabbath and the
preachers. May our children all
stand or fall with them.
What a contrast to those senti
ments of Ingersoll were the old
lashioned, impregnable admonitions
of Dr. Stickler and Dr. Candler at
the dedication of the Agnes Scott in
stitute last week. What a feast of
reason what a comfort to the par
ents who have daughters here. I am
thankful that I have lived to see that
day and hear those sentiments
breathed out by the noble, christian
men great-hearted, broad-minded
educators, who are leading our people
in the only road to happiness. I am
thankful that I have lived to see this
splendid memorial to a good woman
a mother in Israel who raised up
her children in the fear of God,
and taught them to love and fear
Him and keep His commandments.
We used to have such women and
their sons were heroes and their
daughters heroines in the time of
trouble. As Dr. Candler said, I am
glad that I have lived to see one man
who in active life gave of his first
earnings $1 1 1,000 to build and es
tablish such a school as this for our
daughters. Such a grand success
as the Agnes Scott has never been
known in Georgia nor in the South,
for it has sprung up as by a magi
cian's wand or the rubbing of a genii
lamp. One year ago it was not
heard of, and now it is complete with
all its admirable equipments the
best heated, the best lighted, the best
ventilated and the best furnished
building in the South, and as an
educational institute has no superior
in the character and accomplishments
of the teachers. It is a home, a hap
py home lor our daughters as near
a perfect home as can be outside of
family circle. Other institutions have
been laboring for years for the pat
ronage this one has now and by an
other term the Agnes Scott will over
flow and have to decline many ap
plicants. There is no effort here for
show or fashionable polish. A di
ploma from the Acmes Scott will
mean all it contains. I go there fre
quently and live for a time in its sun
shine and take note of the sweet com
panionship of teachers and pupils and
am proud of its. high standard of
scholarship and morality and purity
of thought and conduct. II I was a
young man and was looking round
lor a helpmate and a helpmeet, it
would be credential enough, and but
little risk, to woo and to win and to
wed a sweet girl graduate of the
Agnes Scott if I could. I'll bet that
a man' can't run away with one of
them. They will be hard to please
and harder to deceive, and when
they marry it will not be done in
haste and repented of at leisure
Uean bwiit said that the reason
why there were so many unhappy
marriages was because the girls spent
so much time in making netts and so
little in making cages." They attach
more importance to catching a lover
than keeping a husband. That may
be so, but the men are worse. They
cease to be lovers too soon after mar
riage, and the trouble begins the
trouble that Ingersoll would try to
remedy by a divorce, but try in vain.
Every wife knows her duty and so
does every husband. Let them per
form it and be happy and make the
children happy. There is an old
gander at my house who for many
days has stood bv his mate while she
sets on her nest. She plucks
down from his breast and covers
eggs. When she leaves them
food he escorts her to the grass
escorts her back with a dignity
a devotion that are impressive.

POLK'S PROGRESS.
THEY
SAY HE WILL BE A CANDI
DATE FOR PRESIDENT.
A Shrewd, Capable Leader and Organizer,
He is Looking Forward Many Years
Hence ; But Does He See The End ?
President Polk, of the National
Farmers' Alliance, left the city yester
day for Indianapolis, where the an
nual convention of the order is to be
held, beginning next Wednesday.
For several days past the colonel had
kept very closely to his room at the
National preparing his message,
which, as head of the Alliance, it is
his duty to deliver at the grand con
ventions. Some days ago he stated to a Post
reporter that he was not a candidate
lo re-election to the Presidency ot
the Alliance in the sense ol seeking
the office. It had come to him be
fore without effort on his part. Nor
was he ambitious of any political pre
ferment. It is an admitted fact that
Col. Polk is an organizer and leader
of men of no mediocre talent. As an
effective speaker he compares favor
ably with Jerry Simpson and the best
orators in the Alliance movement.
It is tolerably certain that his voice
and influence will be thrown at In
dianapolis in favor of the formation of
a third party. True, the Cincianati
convention Which gave birth to the
so-called People's party, will at its
meeting here on the 23d of next Feb
ruary have the final determination of
the matter, but the prime movers in
that convention know that unless
they have the support of the Alliance,
the People's party would be a very
slim affair. The outcome of the
meeting at the Indiana capital, there
fore, is being watched with eager
ness all over the nation. Polk has
had such bitter contention with some
of the Democratic leaders in his own
State that he will in all probability
strongly advocate a third Presidential
ticket.
He is pronounced in his hostility
to ex-President Cleveland, and says
in the event of his nomination North
Carolina could not be carried by the
Democracy. That the advice of their
President will have great weight with
the Alliance delegates is not to be
gainsaid, and it is quite within the
range of probability that before the
meeting at Indianapolis disperses the
third party movement will have as
sumed definite form. It is also not
at all unlikely that the Alliance men
may arrive at the conclusion that the
man best fitted to head the new tick
et in the struggle of '02 will be
Leonidas L. Polk.
Post, Nov. 16.
-Washington
On Wednesday following Col.
Polk was unanimously re-elected
President of the National Alliance.
The Post of Nov. 26th says :
Col. L. L. Polk was being con
gratulated at the National last night
on his re-election to the presidency
of the National Farmers' Alliance at
the late Indianapolis convention.
"The partisan press, as usual, misrep
resented our meeting," he said. "I
have about come to the conclusion
that the Washington Post is the only
newspaper of a political sort in the
whole country that is willing to do
the fair thing by the Alliance."
"Was the Indianapoiis meeting
harmonious?"
"Thoroughly so ; and it will be pro
ductive of vast benefit. There was
no effort to carry the order into any
political party. The Ocala demands
were indorsed unanimously by all of
the thirty-four States represented,
and also by the delegates from the
F. M. B. A., which practically merges
it and the Alliance into one harmo
nious organization."
"Is there to be no political action,
then, next year ?"
"Well, the meeting of February
22d will decide about that. It will be
a grand convention, composed of
twenty-five delegates at large for
each order or organization repre
sented, and one additional delegate
for every 10,000. members of. each
order. The delegates at large will
be selected by the organization, but
the others by a direct popular vote.
The convention will probably be held
atSt. Louis or Cincinanti.
".I don't care to anticipate its ac
tion, but something of importance
will come out of it. The old parties
seem to be on the verge of coales
cing. Read the editorials in the
Democratic newspapers 'favoring the
return of John Sherman to the Senate.'
Doesn't that look like coalition ? I
suggest that the Democrats should
nominate next year Cleveland and
Harrison, and the Republicans Har
rison and Cleveland. In that way
Wall street would be certain of com
passing its ends, lor both parties are
under its domination."

GHEES GOODS AND GREEN-HORNS.
An article is going the rounds of
the press to the effect that "Nathan
Boyette, a well-to-do Wilson county
farmer, was swindled out of $300 by
a new York green goods man last
week. Other farmers of Union
county are out $1,000. They went
to New York Wednesday to pur
chase counterfeit money but when
they returned home on Saturday
they found by opening their pack
ages nothing but saw dust and paper."
Commenting on this fascinating
game of chance the Charlotte Chroni
cle says :
"What New York crooks and
counterfeiters lack in furnishing green
goods, North Carolina seems to make
it up in furnishing greenhorns. It is
surprising how many of our people
are being taken in by these green
goods counterfeiters in New York.
The other day our Monroe corres
pondent noted that a number of men
in Union county had sent $1,000, to
New York with the old saw dust
story at the end.
"Union county has sent $1,000 and
Robeson county $i,8oo and other
counties are to be heard from. In
the mean time these rascals are flood
ing the State with their bogus letters
No doubt many other green horns are
parting with their money and keep
ing silent. This is not only a reflec
tion upon the honesty and intelligence
of the people, but an imposition upon
.1 . 1
tne communities ana counties in
which such green horns dwell. The
motive which prompts these people
to buy counterfeit money, is to circu
late it among their neighbors. ' This
act of sending their hard earned
money out of the community and re
ceiving nothing for it, deprives the
communities of that much circulat
ing medium. Money is too scarce
in North Carolina, if rnorals are not,
to be doing business on such losses
" w e reckon there will be lools as
long as the world lasts, and rascals
too, but according: to the above in
stances, there are more of the com
bination in North Carolina than there
ought to be. The need of a larger
circulating medium of both money and
intelligence, is made more manifest.
Tariff reform, more good money, and
the multiplication of the public school
teachers will save the State. These
are the lines the Chronicle is fighting
on."
