BILL ABPI LETTER.
, "Sorrow.endureth for a night but
joy cometh in the morning." I started
to write my weekly letter last night,
but I war not in a calm and serene
frame of mind and concluded to put
it off till morning. I bad read the
morning paper that was unusually
full of crimes and sin and misery and
when the evening papers came there
was another cwtalogue of calamities
and I felt sad and depressed. When
wilt these things stop? But J am no
weeping prcphet nor does the public
care to read the lamentations of Jere
miah as amatter of choice. And so
have waited until sleep and rest
revived me and the bright, sun. of the
morning dispelled the mists and the
gloom.
But how can an old man help com
paring the present witn ine pasir
Memory is his capital stock and his
best recreation. If I was now in my
teens I would be better reconciled to
things as they are to modern map-
ners and customs and to the sin and
crime of this fast and reckless age.
Our young people cannot realize that
there ever was a better time and a
better people. Therefore they .give
the morality of the past no thought
and the crime of the present no great
concern. They look upon the fearful
catalogue in the daily papers as our
normal condition and many join in it
to keep up with the procession, i
Some apologists say that there is
not much difference between now and
then, but that it appears so because
of the telegraph and the ten thous
and newspapers that spreadrlhe news.
The records of the courts tell the
trujh and they prove according to the
white population of our, state there
are ten murders to where there was
one fifty years ago. There are twen
ty-five divorce cases to one and in our
cities there are forty time as many
burglaries, larcenies and shooting
scrapes. The numer of suicides does
not appear in the courts, but the in
crease is not less than a' hundred to
one. Jefferson said that the influence
of great cities was pestilential to good
morals. . Jusl think of it. In the
little city of Atla'nta there were over
10 000 arrests during the past year.
The nineteenth century leaves us
this record as a legacy and our great
concern, is wnat are we going to uo
about it. Our lamentation is that
the. people have gotten used to it and
reconciled to its continuance. It is
looked upon as the normal condition
of public morals aid human affairs.
Old men, old editors and old preach
ers cry aloud and spare not. but the
young generation do not seem to be
greatly concerned. Young men,
young women and even old women
commit suicide somewhere every day
and the editors tell us of it in the
press dispatches and pass on without
comment. What an awful condition
of mental distress it must be that
provokes the deliberate sacrifice of
fine's own life. I fear we are getting
hardened to the presence of crime
hardened by daily contact with it;
hardened like the rich of New York
are to the misery and crime in her
tenement houses and to the miserable
beggars on her streets. They see
them every day and pass them by
without a sign, but they send large
monies down here to educate a lot of
lazy negroes they have never seen
What a tool, what a fanatic, what a
hypocrite is human nature.
'This reminds me to answer a letter
of inquird from an old Democrat who
lives in New Hampshire. He wishes
to know who was responsible for the
slave trade that peopled this country
with negroes. Some of his neighbors
insist that the South did, while the
North protested against it and New
England was especially hostile to it
"How lone, oh, Cataline, will thou
abuse our patience?" How long will
the descendants of the Puritans cover
up their own iniquity? My friend
will find , in Appleton's American
Cyclopedia, fourteenth volume, the
best history ot slavery and the slave
trade ever published. In that he will
find that slave traders from Portugal
brought the first cargo of twenty ne
groes and landed them at Jamestown,
in Virginia, in j 1620. Shortly after
this most of the northern colonies en
gaged in it, and Indians were enslaved
as well as negroes. The son of King
Philip was sold as a slave at Plymouth
in the year 1696. The slave trade
between the northern colonies and
Africa was carried on with vigor un
til 1776. In that year it was re
solved by the continental congress
that no more should be imported.
In 1788 congress extended tha traffic
to 1808, but the state of Georgia re
fused to ratify the extension and in
1798 enacted the most prohibitory
laws against it.
The feeling against the traffic was
stronger in the southern states than
in the northern. Some of the north
ern states continued to cairy it on
long after it had been prohibited .
And as late as 1841 Judze Storv. of
Massachusetts. : charged the grand Sleeplessness, Melancholy, Fainting and
j ury ol Boston that their people were Dizzy Spells when thousands have prov
"steeped up to their eyebrows in the J ed that Electric Bitters will quickly cure
infamous slave trade with Africa."
But New England could not make
the service of the slaves profitable and ; Cherley, of Peterson, la., "and a lame
so sold them to Virginia and the Car- j bask pained me so I could not dress my
olinas and to South America as late self, but Electric Bitters wholly cured
as imv. vv nen ner snips could no
longer dodge the pursuers from Eng-
land and France arid traffic came to
an end and then began; the howl "of
the abolitionists against the south
for keeping them in slaveiy the very
negroes whose lances ors they sold to
us. This is history and it is also his
tory that after 1776 never did a slave
land on a southern coast save once,
and that was the case of the "Wan-,
derer," who tried to land a cargo of
300 near Savannah and was seized
and confiscated.
This is enough of slavery and those
responsible for it. The nineteenth
century has left us some good, some
signal blessings, and chief among
thena is the . great . advance - in ; the
social condition of woman and the
general recognition of her equality
with man in j most all civil rights.
Unless she chains herself to a brute
she is no longer a slave; but stands
up side by side with her husband.
Her. demands for herself and her
children now find a respectful aud-!
ience in courts and legislature (ex-!
cept, perhaps, that last miserable
abortion called the Georgia legisla-i
ture). and no great, newspaper could
pass without giving a good part of its '
columns for their pleasure and com-!
fort. . Woman is fast coming to the!
front as misstress of the situation. In '
every calling she has proven herself
as intelligent and as progressive as
man infinitely his superior in public
morals and private virtue. When she
does come fully to the front she will
control legislation and the'n whiskey,
the curse of the country, will be for
ever banished. Whiskey is woman's
greatest foe, the, cause of nearly all
the tyranny, infidelity and crime
that makes her existence miserable.
She will not have to beg a legislature
to protect the factory children, for
then the children will have solder
fathers to protect them.i
A good mother writes me from
Atlanta about the mutinyof the Tech,
and says that the trouble 'with the boys
of this day is the lack of discipline at
home. They are not taught obedience
in their early youth and they grow up
without restraint and imangine they
know a" much asparents or teachers.
That is so, of course, and evry parents
knowB it, and every parents knows it,
and that accounts for ma"y ofthe
crimes and misdeeds that bring trouble
to parents. IoHtead of chiidien fearing
their pareDts moet pireuts fear their
children, and dread to have a rupture
with them. , Bat they get piid for it
sooner or later. Diogenes heard a boy
swearing on the street and be hurried
off with his cine and found the father
and mauled bioi, If he was living here
now be would be kept, busy mauling
parents, and I reckon tne fitfberj of
those Tech boys would catch a few
strokes. If a teacher has not the hearty
co-operation of the parent tha boy hid
better be s?nt home. Bill Akp.

The Inaugural address of Governor
Aycock, of North Carolina, delivered a
Rileigh yesterday, was eloquent, prac
tical and conservative. . He draws s
graphic picture of the deplorable con
dition cf affairs which prevailed at the
time the State was redeemed by the
Democratic party in 1898. He explains
and defends the educational clause in
the new Constitution and shows that it
is a fair measure, adopted in the inter
est of a bettei aad purer State govern
ment. He says the honor of the State
is pledged to universal edacation and
he urges the General Assembly to make
provision for the education of the white
people. "The safety of the State and
the liberty of the citizen," says the
Governor to the members of the Gen
eral Assembly, "depends on your action
on this question." The Governor also
urges the adoption of an election law
"which shall be so fair that no jast
man can oppose it." The Governor
pledges to the negroes that "their every
right under the Constition shall be ab
solutely preserved; they will fiad se
curity in right conduct and certain
punishment for failure to obey the law."
Altogether Governor Aycock's address
is an admirable one, and he may be
depended upon to carry out his policy,
for he is one of the firmest and brain est
men in" the Old North. State.

There i-oo more important subject
among the twentieth century fd and
facts than this character, the . twen
tieth century voter. There it not ta
official in power today in the United
State who was not voted into office,
or else placed in office by one who was
voted into offige. All power of govern
ment at last resides in the voter.
' Aa we come over into the twentieth
century we matt see the fact that the
time has come when we most cease to
kick and "cu" office holders and go
to kicking and 'cussing" the crowd
that voted them into office. There bare
been in the last quarter of a century
many laws passed touching the fran
chise question in the various states. The
qualification for aufferage Is a very dif
ferent thine today to what it was twenty
five years ago even. ; The intelligence
in this country is a unit today on the
proposition that the man who has- no
cash or credit or character haa no more
business at the polls voting than a mole
or dog. Yankee ' Doodle is sitting
quietly and silently looking on at the
southern states eliminating Vice and
ignorance from the ballot box. If this
government is to live and our free insti
tutions be perpetuated, the qualifica
tion fur suflerage must be brought op
to a standard where intelligence, virtue,
and character must determine a man's
right to vote..
As yet we have no bouse of lords. of
pe rs, of dukes, nor ducks. When men
talk blood in this, country the average
fellow understands him to be referring
to Kentucky bred horses or short-horn
ed cattle, and a government of the peo
ple and by the people and for the peo
ple" may be a government for every
body, but not by everything that wears,
breeches and hair.
The twentieth century voter should
be an unpurchnsable voter. A man who
wi!l sell a vote will sell a.priuc'ple, for
a vote represents a principle, acd a mnn
that will sell a principle will sell any
thing that honor holds dear. A man
who will buy a vote will sell a vote, and
is as dirty a dog as the fel!ow whoje
vote he bought. A man who will buy
a vote to get into office will Bell his vote
to the l.q ior dealers' association or to
corporations after be gets in. A man
should be forever outlawed, not only
from .office, but from voting, who has
either bought or sold a vote.
The twentieth ce-ntary votar should
4e an iutellirent voter. The average
Democrat and Republican in this coun
try doesn't know any more about the
principles of the grand old party he
runs with than a rabbit dog knows what
his master's gun is loaded with. This
blind following of party, this ignorance
that whoops up the candidate of his
party, is as contemptible as it is despi
cable. .
The twentieth century voter should
be a courageous voter, not only unphr
chasable, but unbulldczable. The wnite
primaries inaugurated by the southern
states has largely eliminated the broth
er in black, with . his crowd. That
theory intends to muBter and organize
the intelligence and virture, whose pur
pose is to nominate candidates for office.
This theory has worked well , in many
places; in others strange to say, white
primaries have nominated some mighty
lousy, dirty devib, to, say nothing of the
last legislature assembled in Georgia.
They were all nominated by white pri
maries. I have sometimes thought
I would love to see the negroes get. -a
whack next time,with the white voters
eliminated, to see if they Could not
nominate from the white people of the
state a Crowd that would beat the last
legislature assembled in Georgia. I
sometimes think the reason they did
not pass thedepot bill was that the
depot was on the other side of the sa
loon, and they could not pass the saloon.
They say the white primary has come
to stay. If so, intelligenc8 and virtue
must control , the white primary and
nominate in those primaries candidates.
approved by the best people of the
state, otherwise there will be a revulsion
from white primaries that will soon put
an end to them.
The twentieth century voter should
be an independent voter. There has
not been a national election in the last
twenty-five years that the candidates
were not carried to victory by the in
dependent voter. A party does not own
a man, soul and body, and more than
a church does. 1 am a Methodist to
the manner born, but whenever . the
Methodist church takes off after strange
gods ahd forsakes the principles of 'the
New Testament Scriptures I am not go
ing with them any more than Cleve
land and Whitney and Carlisle went
with Bryan and his gang. The princi
ples of the grand old Democratic party
are as well defined and as distinct aB
the tentes and creed of Christendom to
day. An independent voter is one
who stays by principle and does not fol
low his party just to be with the gang.
The Democratic party for the last 10
years has followed the fife and kettle
drum and music and oratory and for
saken the principles taught by Thomas
Jefferson and the principles that made
Oil Hickory Jackson one of the best
presidents America ever hadt and
makes Cleveland not only the greatest
statesman in Americi today but the
most hated man by the gang that's bsen
following the orators. To be a good
Democratic leader now a fellow must be
a full-fledged cyclone, f unnelshapped
and full of. wind. An independent
voter is not controlled by noise and hur
rah and fads and francies, but he an
chors himself in the great principles of
his party ism, and. like the-, mariner at
sea he looks at the sun by. day and the
north star by night and guides his fhip
by them, with but little notice of howl
ing winds and beating waves and foam
ing whiteaps. -
The twentieth century voter should
be a voter who loves bis country more
than he loves his party ; who votes with
an eye single to the glory of bis country
and the good of bis home. If patriot
ism was the incentive, and the good of
Sally and the children at home the in
spiration, then the voter can be trusted.
I have seen the day in America when
the Democrats were in power, and the
Republican pa'ty prayed and worked
for material disaster financial wreck,
and general shrinkage of values, that
tbey might be forniasied with cmaipalgti
thunder to put them ! In Lower at
the next election. The ioWilirenc of
IhU country have looked on. When Re
publicans have bn ia power the Demo
crats looked with longing, Uatf ol eye,
and listened with brat ears that they
might see or bear of some act or duicr
of the Rejjutiican party that would
furoUh to them ia' the coming cam
paign a slogan that would drive the
Republican! oat of power and put them
io again. There U eo more patriotina
in sentiment and conduct like that than
you will find among a pack of wolyet tn
the mountains of Colorado. Patriotism
is love of country; part vital U lore of
office and power..
: Whenever the twentieth century vo
ter comes to the front with intriligrtc,
patriotiwm, virtue, courage, and the in
dependent spirit of manhood, and rote
and take interest in who is nominated
and work for good government and
good efficiah, like the. average fellow
aya by his store or fchop or farm, then
we will regulate to the nar the little .ot
politician, and brio g to the front men
who will run the country so ihtt the
highest denny may be reached.
With a conscience void of offence to
ward God and man, and sense enough
to know right from wrong, by the grace
of God X will vote for whomsoever 1
gentlemanly please to long as I live.
These are my sentiments, and I
would to God tbey were the sentiments
of every decent man in America.

' t - ' The Crip. '" .
The grip which ia now prevailing in
differents parts of the country is of a
mild type. This ia form n ate, for the
number of people affected exceeds that
of any previous epidemic of this m tl
ady, and were it of a severe"" character,
the number of deaths would be sone
thing frightful. The press dispatches
tell of overcrowded hospitals in New
York, while the situation in Cnicago is
equally as bad. The grip is epidemic
also in Philadelphia and Baltimore.
The doctors .have learned a good deal
ab'jut this disease in the past. few years
and are giving the public liberal infor
mation about it in the papers. Dr. John
S. Fulton, of Baltimore, gives grip pa
tients this advice, which appears to be
worth reproducing:
Remain in a well-ventilated house.
- Keep off the Btreets, especially after
nightfall. ' , '
If you must go the streets don't atop
to shake hands with your friends.
This may not save yjur friends any
thing, but it will save your own lungs
and kidneys.
Don't take remedies, especially stim
ulants, except under medical advice.
Sleep alone and preserve a good tem
per, if possible.
The grip, by itself, is not dangerous
it is the complications liable to follow
that are to be feared. Unless the pa
tient is careful" during convalescence
there is a liability of contracting pneu
monia, typhoid fever, pleurisy, kidney
trouble and other dangerous diseases,
which the grip patient, with a weaken
ed system is ill prepared to withstand.
There is probably no disease that racks
the nervous system as does the influ
ecz poison.
The Chicago doctors give the opinion
that the cause of the spead of. the in
fection in that city is the spitting nuis
ance, and the street car officials "have
issued orders against expectorating on
the car floors. From this source, the
doctors say, billions of the poisonous
bacilli are winged to those who might
otherwise not be exposed to the conta
Rion. -
A Chair 470 Years Old.
John J. Bingley, of Hanover, Pa.,
has an antiquated armchair that indeed
ia a remarkable jriece of furniture.
Sixty-two years before. Columbus dis
covered America a cabinet maker in
the village of Wakefield, England, built
this chair.and it has been in continuous
service for 470 years; has traveled over
thousands of mites of railroad and ocean
and is still in a good state of preserva
tion. Handed down from father to
eldest son for many generation', the
chair is now in Hie possession of Mr.
Binglev, to whose care it was intrusted
in 1845.
The material ttaed in its construction
is oak, inlaid with many kinds of other
wood. It is beautifully carved in fig
ures of birds, etc., and is quite heavy.
The joints are mortised and tenoned,
while wooden pegs sqrve the purpose of
screws and nails in the present day.
The chair remained in Wakefield a
short time, when it was taken to Bing
ley, a town named for the ancestors of
the present owner. Here the chair re
mained daring the reign of exactly 20
kings and queens, from Henry VI to
Victoria
In 1856 the chair was brought to this
country on. the ship Mary Hale and
landed at Baltimore. Daring the civil
war the old chair was in Richmond,
V-, "and there withstood the memora
ble siege of that city. The owner left
it in the care of ' a friend while he es
caped to the North. Subsequently it
was takerj to Watertown, N. Y., and in
1894 it was taken to . Hanover.
Broaght Good Fortune.
A small item in bis own paper lately
brought amazing good fortune to Editor
Chris. Reitter of the Saginaw (Mich.)
post and Zeitung. He and his family
had the Grip in its worst form. Their
doctor did t hem no good. Then he read
that Dr. King's New Discovery for Con
sumption, Coughs and Colds was a
guaranteed core for La Grippe and all
Throat and Lang troubles ; tried it and
says : Three bottles cured the whole
family. " No other medicine' on earth
