LiqiOKAXDTIIE SYSTEM.
Wlij- Aleoliol Kills Some Heu
Ami Others Thrive on it.
Washington Star.
There have been scores of chapters
written in the medical books as to why
alcoholic liquors undermine and ultimate
ly destroy a man's.system, or, in other
words, 'drink killed him,' bat the precise
reason why they kill one man and not
anot'ier is not satisfactorily explained,"
said a prominent specialist.
"I noticed a dispatch recently of the
death of a centenarian who had been a
s eady drinker all his life. -I have had
patients- who were moderate drinkers
succumb in from five to ten years. The
mystery lies in this: Two men of ap
parently, equal physical strength, for a
nan's soundness cannot always be de
termined, will each drink an equal quan
tity of .liquor daily, say half a pint to a
piutol whiskey, or from five to twenty
averaged-sized drinks distributed through
the day and evening until the 'night cap,'
just ' before retiring. Tens of thou
sands of men average this quantity
tiaily.
"One of the steady drinkers will die
inside of ten years, perhaps five, and the
other will live to be 80. The death of
tlte first can be traced by a medical man
directly to the use of liquor, that is, but
for the effect of the steady doses of alco
holic poison npou the heart, stomach or
kidneys the man would not hav died of
the disease given in the death certificate.
It Tiay truthTGlly be said.hen, that he
died of drink, though the immediate cause
of death was heart disease, apoplexy or
any other of the sudden or lingering-diseases'
The other man may die an- ac
cidental death at -a ripe old age.
"The central effect ot alcohol" upon the
organs of-the human system 13 too well
known tojje.iled. but it is the opposite
WAyJiraffects the systems" "-4ijfereutJ
men thai (Constitutes the interesting point.
My theory of alcoholic death, aa it were,
is the deadly effect of tne poison upon
the excretory organs, especially the skin.i
which it clogs and destroys, both its lite
and that of the muscles and the organs it
encases. In fact, its continued eff-Ct is
to practically decay the human system,
aud the bndies of the 'old soaks,' or men
who have diad of alcoholism m the great
cities, and which have afterward been
cuf up in the dissecting rooms of the
medical xjlleges, are practically a' mass
of putrid organism. When, therefore,
alcohol attacks a certain weak "organ of
the body, that prgan succumbs tp the
attack, as does also the patient, to put it
iu untechnical terms, and he passes.
"Since men will continue to drink to
the end of time, I'd say this to the steady
drinker. Let up entirely at stated occa
sions. Go for two weeks, or longer
without a drop, to give the system a
chance to rest. It becomes tired of oft
repeated defense fforts to overcomes,
c unteract aud fight against the assaults
of the stimulant and ihe corresponding
strain. Many.men who are hard and
steady drinkers are conscious of their ul
timate self destruction, but are powerless
to resist temptation. They make it a
practice to let up, as they say, and when
they begin again" the system has been
rested and strengthened, and renews the
battle of counteraction and recovery with
added vigor, and the, man's life is pro
longed. Just so long as the vital organs
can right against and oyercome -the de
structive effects of alcohol a man will
live. When tuey cease struggling in their
desperate efforts to maintain their normal
condition, the death certificate may as
well read 'heart failure' as any other
cause. 1

LABOR'S LO. WAR.
Arp Wants to Know When the
Conflict Will Come to an Eud. .
Bill Arp in Atlanta Constitution.
: Labor and Capital. When will the long
protracted struggle cease. Away back in
history there was a war that lasted thirty
years, ,iut this war has lasted longer
Ulan that and seems to growmore bitter
as the years roll on. In the good old
times it did not affect the saath, but like
a pestilence it spjeads and there seSms
to be no remedy. All ot the women
most all of the men, outside of the capi
talists have heretofore sympathized with
the .toilers in their demands for less work
and better pay. They have bit'.erly de
nounced the heartless - managers who
would wear out the life of a child before
it gets grown who would keep them
caged in factories from early morn fill
lamplight, with not an hour f r recrea
tion. No May day, no play day, no ball
game, nor marbles, nor fishing, nor frolic
of any kind for the boys; no hunting wild
flowers or blackberries for the girls, no
youthful pleasures, no recess.no Satur
day; but liom year to year Tt's
"Work work work, in the dull De
cember light.
And work work work, when the weath
er is warm and bright."
How sad it is to see them toil as if in a
treadmill, and to hear then siah as they
glance from the windows ot their daily
prison, and with longing eyes, whisper
"Oh! but to breathe ttTe breath of the
woods and flowers sweet.
With the skyaboye my 'head and the
grass beneath my feet."
And this is sad, patheiic, and but for
heartless legislation and legislators, would
hAye long.8ince been remedied. " It is the
goorlTJje ot human nature that arouses
sympathy for the poor, Leigh Hunt
never wrote a sweeter line than tM.
Abou Ben Adhem's plea for entrance into
Paradise: v f:
"Write me as one who loves his fellow
man."
"In ruminating about the wants of the
poor I have often thought that the great
est want and the best boon to a tiierwas
a home. Home one of the sweetest
words in any language. Its best defini
tion is in the heart, for language fails to
express it. Indeed there are some lan
guages that have no word for it no syn
onym.' The French has none and substi
tutes only an abode or dwelling place.
The best definition is found in the old
Sanskrit, the sacred dialect of the Hin
doos and Persians.. TI13 word 13 Kshema
and means a permanent place of rest and
security. WoUld that all the poor, all
the toilers, all the women and children in
the land had that a permanent abode
a place ot rest and security. No land
lord to call for rents no expiring lease,
no uncertain title; but a home where the
good wife can plant her own vines and
adorn her own yard with flowers and
feel that they are hers and her children's.
Why didn't Mr. Carnegie - think of this
and give homes to the poor, instead of
books. Fifty millions of dollars would
haye given comfortable homes to one
hundred thousand poor families and
given a permanent place of rest and secu
rity to at least half a million of theltoilers.
The time was when a Methodist preacher
was not entitled to a home no more than
a Roman Catholic priest was to a wife,
tie must abide for a year in any house
that was cheap and vacant. He must be
the exemplar of humanity and unselfish
ness, for they said that the Savior was
bomiu a manger and his softest bed was
hay. But there is some more scripture
that demands the best of everything lor
the priesthood, and that says: "Touch
not My anointed, and do My prophts no
harm." A better civilization now pro
vides a good, comfortable parsonage in
almost every town and village and I am
glad of it, not so much for sympaty for the
preacher, but for hU good, long suffering
and patient wife and her growing chil
dren. Woman loves her home and loves
to adorn it with fruits and and flowers.
When the Methodists get strong enough
to build a parsonage Jhey should not stop
at the finishing of the house, but have a
permanent committee" of ladies to plant
vines and roses and make gravel walks,
and establish a garden with such things
that do not pass away and perish with
the year. Plant fruit trees, make an as
paragus bed and donjt forget the straw
berries and raspberries, and here and
thare plant some ot the old time garden
herbs, such as sage and balm and parsely
and calamus for a sweet breath and mint
lor the children's colic. Fix the place up
for a home and when the good wife
leaves it, of course, she will leave it clean
and leave it with regret, and her successor
will be happy aud talk about her to her
nighbors. It I was a bishop I would al
ludeto this at 'he general conference,
and lay much stress on what John Wes
ley said, that "Cleanliness was next to
odlii,ess."
That is not in the Biljle, but might have
been and done no harm.
Yes, the kindheartefl people haye gener
ally Been sympathizing with the strikers,
uui the case at Dayton, O., has discouraged
them. We see that Mr. Patterson died
suddenly this week. He was only sixty
uine years old and the opinion is that bis
grief and mortification over the great strike
caused bis death. a nobler rich man never
lived or died. He was Ihe president of the
National Cash Register Company, that em
ployed 2,300 men and women . For seven
years be has sought to make his extenshe
woiks a model tor all the manufacturers of
the world and a workman's paradise. From
time -to time he- has reduced the hours of
work aud increased . the compensation.
The cottages for his people were models for
comfort good gardens, nice flowers a
skilled man sent-there to show them how to
plant and grow flowers, a free library of
well selected books, hospitals for the sick,
good nurses, good beds, all free and no lost
time charged against theui; bath rooms
with hot and cold .water and time given to
bathe; clean towels and1 soap For the
women and girls be bad toilet rooms anil

was made as much like home as a loving
mother- would have provided. " Halt of
every Saturday was theirs. Mr Patterson.
was happy, lie believed be had solved
the problem of capital and labor. But
about three years ago a labor union was
formed and its committee began to hunt up
devilment. Not long ago they discovered
that the 2,000 towels that were furnished
the batjj rooms free were washed every
week by some poor woman who did not be
long to the union, and they demanded of
Mr. Patterson that be have bis washing
done by union folks. He refused and the
committee ordered a strike. Then he de
clared that his men were not charged for
the baths nor the towels nor the soap, and
he would stop the whole business, which
he did. Next they ordered the discharge of
his superintendent because he was not a
union man. This was refused and they
struck again. They also ordered that two
union men who bad been discharged for
bad wi rk should be restored, lie restored
them and paid them regularly $15 a week
for each, but gave them no work, saying
that tbey were not competent, but be would
pay them. Aud so they huutedround for
other tilings and finally ordered a big strike,
and it has been on for weeks and no settle
meut. Up to date the loss to workmen in
wages amounts to $120,000 and all these
poor families are in distress and would go
back if the union eomrnittee would let them

"1 told you so. 1 knew it would not last!"
It made me right sick to read about it, for
it is much worse than 1 have told it. Is our
sympathy for the poor all wasted? No bo!
It is.those contemptible leaders who got on
the committee aud wanted to make a big
fuss out of nothing. With the great com

strikers on the other side, we, the unpro

by our wits, are in3 a bad fix. But thank

A Petrified Apricot From the
" Philippines.
Statesville Landmark.
Mr. R. J, Croaker, late of 'the 29th vol
unteer infantry, United States army, and
on duty in the Philippine Islands from
November 2, 1899,10 March 23. 1901, was
m Statesyille this week on a brief visit to
bis sister. Mrs. E. W. Culbreth.- He went
from here to his home at High Point. '
Mr. Croaker brought with him from the
Philippines an) interesting and valuable
curiosity. It :s a petrified apricot and a
perfect specimen. It was given to Mr.
Croaker by a Spanish lady at Catbalogan,
province of Samar, P. L The lady's
great-grandfather had an orchard oa the
spot 103 years ago. The place is now a co
coanut grove. Twenty-three years ago
the apricot was found. It is in as perfect
a state ot preservation as the day it tell
from the tree and is as heavy a lead.
Mr Croaker says he was offered $25 in
gold for it by a traveling mau at Salt
Lake City, Utah, but declined. - He
wrote to the Smithsonian Institution in
Washington and was told if the specimen
was genuine it was worth $6oo. He ex
pectsp send it to this institution. -
Mr. Croaker was a member of the sec
ond North Carolina regiment during the
Spanish American war. While in the
Philippines his regiment was ordered to
China but it was not sent. He was with
Qen. Lawton when thejatter wAs-'if'Jied
Jfc7SYffipiiios'' His regiment was mus
tered out at San Francisco on the ioth of
May. " ', " " :"
Mr. Croaker says there are good op
portunities to make money in the Philip
pines aud the climate and conditious are
not so bad. The temperature averages
from 103 to 106 degrees but the nights
are cool. If one takes proper care of
himself as to diet, etc., he may be assured
of lairly good health.
Mr. Croaker does not think the pros
ptct is bright for the entire subjugation of
the Filipinos. They can keep up a guer
rilla warfare almost indefinitely and he
thinks they will do so. .
Carnegie's Girt (o Scotland.
London,- June 7. Andrew Carnegie
signed a deed to day, transferring $10,
000,000 In 5 per cent. United States Steel
Corporation bonds to trustees for the
benefit of the universities of Scotland.
The amount becomes immediately avail
able. The next installment of inter
est can be used for the October term.
The deed contains a preamble saying
that Mr. Carnegie, having retired from
active business deems it to be his duty
and one of his highest privileges to ad
minister the wealth which has come to
him as a trustee in behalf of others, en
tertaining the confident belief that one of
the best means of discharging that trust
in providing funds for improving and ex
tending the opportunities for scientific
research of the Universities of Scotland,
his native land, and by rendering the at
tendance easier. A constitution, as it is
calied, is attached to the deed, directing
that half the income be devoted . to" in
creasing the facilities for study. The
other half is to pay fees and assist stu
dents. . Enormous Cost of Empire.
Baltimore Sun.
The official figures of the cost of ' the
South African War from 1899 to 1902 are
given by the British Chancellor of the
Exchequer as $714,035,000. This total
embraces all that has been spent up to
the present time aud all that will be spent
according to recent estimates, to the end
of the fisical year in 1902. The war in'
China from 1900 to 1902 is estimated to
cost, $ 28,300,000, the aggregate of two
wars carried on at the same time with
$24,250,000 of interest added being I766,
585,000. This does not include the cost
of two other "small" wars begun and
ended while fighting was in progress in
South Africa and China namely, the
formidable war in Ashanti and the mili
tary expedition iu Somaliland. These
together can hardly have cost less than
$9,000,000. From which it appears that
the burden imposed on British taxpayers
by actual fighting in three years, is over
$775. 000,000. Empire is doubtless a bril
liant thing, but it comes high a this price.

A SHERIFF REPULSES A MOB.
Saves a Negro From Lynchers
One or the Leaders of the
Crowd thai Invaded ihe Jail
Shot Dead and Two. Mm
Wounded.
Carrollton, Ga., June 7. The ncVve xf
an obscure Georgia sheriff, whose name
is Jos. Merrill, to-day upheld the law of
the State and saved the life of a negro
from a mob. In protecting the negro,
who was saved from the gallows, only .a
few hours before by the efforts of his
lawyers, one life was lost aud two men
were wounded. The arriyal of the State
militia averted threatened trouble to
night and at 10 o'clock a special train
Rearing the negro whose ime was the
murder of a little white boy, whom he
fcui d ;fishing alone, ' and his guard, was
speeding towards Atlanta. The man kill
ed in attacking the j-t.il was George Ben
nett, of Carrollton, and the wonstted men
are-Thomas Smith, also of Carrollton,
and an unknown man, presumably a
farmer. Thomas S. Word, father of the
murdered boy who was in the front rank
of the would be Jyncners, was, strange to
say, not hit. After Bennett fell, Mr.
Word jumped upon the window and ex
claimed dramatically, "Shoot me, Mr.
Sheriff, I would as soon die now as any
time." Only nine shots were fired and
the walls of the iiiil show the markka ot
the bullets. None of the sheriff's posse
was hit.
Williams, the negro, was tried and
found guiky of murdering Otis Word, on
January 1st, this year, and sentenced to
be hanged to-day, beingrefused a new
trial by Judge Harris. This morning his
attorneys filed a bill of exceptions and
carried the case to the Supreme Court. A
large crowd of people had come to town
to witness the banging and wheu it .was
learped that an appeal hsp been takm.to.
the Supreme Court, delay ug execution,
there was much talk, which crysialized
soon after in the formation ot a mob."
At noon the mob made an assault on
the jail. They battered down the out
side iron -doors, despite the warning of
the sheriff, and entered the building.
They made a demand on the sheriff Tor
the key to the ntgro's cell, but were re
fused. . With the refusal, thev becan their
advance.npon the sheriff" and the depu
ties which he had been able to symmon
to his aid. 1 hey were told- to stop, or
they would be fired on, but the order was
not obeyed.
At they advanced down the corridor to
wards the sheriff, the order was given to
fire. Bennett ftll, dying almost mstan-
ly. Thomas Smitb. of Carrollton, who
was in the frout of the mob, was badly
shot, a? was. also au unknown country
man. The unexpected fight of the sheriff
and his posse frightened the mob and they
recreated outside -the jail. Here they
broke and ran and were soon divided
into little groups, discussing the event.

A Debtor's Plea.
Governor MacCorkle, of West Virginia,
is fond of narrating the followiftg story;
"A colored mau was telling awhile friend
about another negro who owed him 2
aud absolutely refueed to pay the debt.
The creditor dunned him, but all to no
purpose. Finally the creditor went t
his white friend, who is a lawyer, aud
poured his tale of woe into his ear. 'Well,'
aid the lawyer, 'if he positively refused
to pay you what reason did ho give!
'Well .boss,' said the colored man, 'he
said he had owed me dat money fo' so
long dat de interest had dun eWit all up,
an' he didn't owe me a cent.' "

cause of backsliding on the part of pro
fessing Christians. He has compiled his
reasons fir lukewarmness of church
members and for the slowness of spirit
ual progress in the Christian churches in
the shape of an Alphabet of Backsliders
in this fashion:
A Ambition to be on equal terms with
others in style of living and dress, and if
possible outstrip them.
B Blaming others for cold noss. Apathy
after giving energies to outside organiza
tions. C Covetcousness, card playing, craze
for pulpit novelties. . -
D Debt, division? among Christians,
daucing, dyspepsia of spirit, so that
neither the milk nor meat of the word
can be assimilated.
E Erroneous views of God's word.
F Frivolity, formality and false teach
ing, v,
C, Gambling and gossip.
II Haste to be rich and scarcity 'of

Z Zeal wanting tor theglory of God

In presenting this to his congregation
the minUter urged his hearers to avoid

He has undoubtedly summed up a good

not be a bad idea for the churches to give

America's Enormous Resources.
The idea which prevails in Europe
that Americanj-rosperity can be checked
by a political or commercial league 01
European countries against the United
States is, in the opinion of the New York
World, the result of foreign ignorance of
America's wealth and resources. Says
the World:
The total wealth of the United States
far exceeds that of any other nation is
at least $ 15,000,000,00 greater tbrfh Great
Britain's audit is distributed per capita
more evenly than any other nation's.
"They have 4i per cent, of the world's
toal railroad mileage and 12,000 more
miles than the trackage of all European
countries put together.
" They produce more gold than any
other part of the world save Africa, more
silver than any other country save Mex
ico and coin annually about one-fifth of
ail the world's metallic money.
"They manafacture every year a great
er total product than England, France
and Germany combined.
"They produce So per cent, of all the
world's coUon, cottonseed and corn, 40
per cent, of all its steel and other mineral
products, 33 per pent, of all its coal,3o
per cent, ot all its iron aud all its grain
and 25 per cent, of all its wheat.
"These aie the pillars ot our temple of
prosperity. Europe could -not even shake
them."

Poison Oaf;
Poison ivy
are among the best known
of the many dangerous
wild plants and shrnb.
To touch or handle them
quickly produces swelling'
and inflammation with in
tense itching and burning
of the skin. The eruption
soon disappears, the suf
ferer hopes forever : but
almost as soon as the -little blisters and
pustules appeared the poison had reached
the blood, and will break out at regular
intervals and each time in c more aggra
vated form. This poison will loiter in the
system for years, and every atom of it
must be forced out of the blood before you
can expect a perfect, permanent cure.

Ivy, and all noxious plants. It is com

is the time to get the poison out of your
system, as delay makes your condition

Mr. S. M. Marshall, bookkeprof the Atlanta

Oak. He took Sulphur, Arsenic and various
other druK, and applied externally numerous
lotions and salves with no benefit. At times the
swelling and inflammation was so severe he was
almost blind. For eight years the poison would
break out every season. Ilis condition was much
improved after taking one bottle cf S. S. S , and
a few bottles cleared his blood of the poison, and
all evidences of the disease disappeared.

Injcalls View of Death.
Exchange.
In the democracy of the dead all men at
last are equal. There is neither rank nor
station nor prerogative in the republic f
the grave. At this . fatal threshold the
philosopher ceases to be wise, and the
song of the poet is silent. Dives relin
quishes his millions, an 1-Lazarus his
rags. The poor man is as rich as the
richest, and the rich man as poor as the
panper. Thecreditor loses his usury, and
the debtor is acquitted of his obligation.
There the proud man surrenders his dig
nities, the politician his honors, the
worldling his pleasures; the invalid needs
no physician, and the laborer rests from
unrequited toil. . Here, at last, is nature's
final decree in equity. The wroogs of
time are redressed, injustice is expiated,
the irony of fate is refuted, the unequal
distribution o wealth, honor, capacity,
pleasure and opportunity, which makes
life so cruel and inexplicab'e a tragedy,
ceases in- the realms of death. The
strongest there has no supremacy, and
the weakest needs n defense. The
mightiest captain succumbs to the invin
cible adversary, who disarms alike the
victor and the vanquished.
Keep It l'p.

You've got to keep on walking.

The plot was Carried out cne morning
while the nierabe-s of the expedition, who
had a body-guan, of 40 Papuans, were
cleaning their riles, which they had
taken apart. Suddenly 80 of the islander
