What Wood Reputation Stands For.
In a recent criminal trial the ac
cused persons bein men of hib
standing in the community, counsel
for the defense ostentatiously called
high public officials to testify to their
good reputations. There was scarce
ly auy limit to the number of men
who could have been called to thus
testify, for without any doubt the
defendants had borne a good reputa
tion before they were accused of this
particular crime. The testimony re
specting good reputation had no ef
fect upon the jury because there was
positive evidence of guilt, and in the
face of such evidence good reputa
tion only adds to the offense commit
ted. Where, however, there is only
circumstantial evidence of guilt, or
there is doubt arising from any cir
cumstance, good reputation has great
weight and may turn the scales of
judgment. This is the real value of
a good reputation. It shields one
from the suspicion of wrong-doing,
and it must be broken down by posi
tive and unquestioned testimony be
fore its possessor is deprived of its
benefits. It is because reputation
usually corresponds with character
that it is accepted as an answer to
unproved accusations of wrong-doing;
it is because it does not necessarily
correspond with character that it is
accorded little if any weight as
against direct testimony showing it
to be a false reputation or oue that
has been sacrificed.
Reputations are built up sIowfy,
and a man is tried in many ways and
for a long time before his fellow-men
feel fully assured that he is to be
trusted, that he is in fact what he
seems to be. His credit having been
established, ii cannot be swept away
by mere suspicion. It is not easy to
establish a false reputation in the
smaller circles of one's intimate as
sociates, nor can a false reputation
be long maintained before the gen
eral public after its character has
become known to the few. Gossip
soon destroys it. But a good repu
tation honestly earned may be sacri
ficed by one criminal or dishonorable
act. That good name which has been
built up by years of probity and fair
dealing may be swept away in an
instant by a single act of dishonesty.
Sometimes, also, a man of good repu
tation may maintain it for a long
time after his character has changed,
through concealment of his crimes;
but the moment they become known
his good reputation vanishes. Al
though it may be so easily lost or
sacrificed, good reputation is a most
valuable possession, and every man
should aim to build it up on the sure
foundation of good character.
Reputation is seldom highly valued
until its loss is threatened. Cassio
had probably never thought anything
about his until, in a moment of weak
ness, he suffered military disgrace,
and then he felt that he had losA the
immortal part of himself. There are
men of good character who are so
careless of their good name that they
fail to establish a good reputation.
They do no evil, but their associa
tions are of a character to make men
suspicious of them. The young more
especially should take care not only
that they live upright lives, justify
ing a good reputation, but that they
avoid the appearance of evil. They
should not bo hypocritical, but should
be careful of appearances so that
their characters and reputations may
alike be good.

ARP'S WAR STORY
In Answering the Query of a Correspond
ent Asking About Bacon.
A friend writes me from Florida
that bacon will not keep well in that
climate, and that the old settlers say
it always gets rancid. He wants to
know if there is any remedy for this.
Yes, I think so, unless hogs fattened
on pinders are different from those
fattened on corn.
This reminds roe of a war story.
In 1864 my wife and half a dozen
little children found refuge from the
foul invader at her father's planta
tion on the upper Chattahoochee
river. There was no white man
there or near there save her old
father, Judge Hutchins. There were
about a hundred negroes, more than
half of them too old or two young to
work. Food for our soldiers was
getting scarcer every day and orders
came that every farmer should be
tithed, that is to say, he should give
up to the government agents a por
tion of his corn and meat and beef
cattle. A mounted detail from the
home guard was sent out with wagons
to enforce the order and gather in the
supplies. There was nobody to resist
them, for everybody was in the army
save old men an invalids and women
and children. Late one evening a
company of thirty men came to
Judge Hutchins's house and rudely
informed him that they came for
bacon and beef cattle. The judge
very calmly told them be had none
to spare. For a while they parleyed
with him, but finally demanded the
key to his smokehouse. My wife ami
children and two other little grand
children listened in fear and anxiety.
Tbey knew that the judge was a fear
less man, but there were so many
well armed men against him, the
odds were fearful, and when he re
fused to give up the key, they said
they would arrest him and break
down the door.
Then he pleaded with them in a
trembling voice and said to the cap
tain: "Here is my daughter and her
little helpless children and here are
two others whose mother is dead and
their father is in the army. I have
but four sons and they are in the
army. My two sons in-law are there.
Here on this place are fifty or sixty
negroes who are too young or too old
to work, and it is a struggle for us all
to live. I am alone and getting old.
1 have done my share for the confed
eracy and cannot do more. Now I
know that 3'ou can overpower me or
kill me and take away the little meat
I have saved for these helpless ones,
but let me tell you, captain, the first
man who goes to that door to break
jt down will be a dead man before he
can do it." His black eyes flashed
as if lit up by sparks of fire and his
voice no longer trembled. He was
desperate. Lightly he ascended the
stairs, where he had two double-
barreled guns well loaded, and plant
ing himself by the window that over
looked the smokehouse, he said,
"Now break that door if you dare
to," and the percussion lock went
click, click. The captain looked at
the door and then at the judge.
There was an awful silence for a few
moments. My wife and children
heard it all and trembled. Some of
the negroes had gathered at the cabin
doors, and old Sam dared to exclaim
in a low, husky voice, "Better not
better not old massa kill you kill
you shore."
The captain suddenly reconsider
ed. "Come, boys," said he, "its get
ting late, and there ain't no use in
fighting about a little meat. We can
report the case to headquarters and
if we are ordered back we can try it
again, I reckon." Without saying
goodbye or farewell they left.
That night about midnight the
judge called up old Jack and Virgil,
whom he knew he could trust, and
had the joints of the meat and a part
of the sides carried quietly down to
the old blacksmith shop on the bank
of the river. With pick and shovel
the cinders and earth in the old
hearth were soon excavated and a
chamber fashioned that would hold
and hide a thousand pounds. It was
buried there and the hearth was cov
ered just like it had been. Some
scattering charcoal filled in the
spaces and some was left on top and
the black old basket placed where it
long had been. With shovel and
wheelbarrow the surplus earth was
taken down the river bank and tum
bled in and then all was quiet on the
Chattahoochee. The burial of Sir
John Moore was not more silent. In
January, 18G5, I joined my family at
the plantation and not long after the
judge furnished us a good mule team
and wagon and we returned to our
home in Rome. The day before we
left his hospitable mansion he open
ed the cache and found the meat all
sweet and sound and we brought a
good portion of it with us and it was
as precious as gold. My wife says
the charcoal purified it and kept it
from tasting old or rancid.
Now then I have answered my
friends question. He must get up a
civil war and hide his meat in the
hearth of an old blacksmith shop.
Earth and charcoal are both good
disinfectants and preservers of flesh,
and if I was in Florida I would pack
my meat in charcoal, not dust, but
small crushed coal. Before putting
the meat down I would powder it
from a pepper box with borax. Bo
rax is almost universally used now.
It is sure death to skippers and
other vermine, and a druggist told
me that the sale of it had increased
a thousand per cent within the last
five years.
When my family got home we
found that it was not good to live by
meat alone and we bad to send down
the river a hundred miles for a few
bushels of corn and hid it near a
mill in the country, because the out
laws and deserters were patrolling
the land and taking everything they
could find. A good friend brought us
half a bushel of meal at a time on the
sly, and so we got along. The memory
of old Rowland Bryant is still pre
cious to us for hs kindness in those
days of tribulation. It is encourag
ing to know that Armour & Co. have
not abolished all the smokehouses id
the land, nor drawD our home made
meat into their mighty trust. Our
farmers are generally raising their
own meat and bring a good deal to
town to sell, and my wife says that
country lard is purer and better than
any that comes from the packing
houses of the west. Our home mar
ket is well supplied by our farmers
with almost everything that is good
to eat. Beef, pork, butter, (hick-
ens, eggs, potatoes, turnips, cab
bages, beans and apples are in great
abundance.
Of course we can't have mutton,
for the negroes must have dogs and
the candidates must have negro
votes. I lost eight fine Merinos in
one night and my neighbor, Mr.
Dobbins, lost three hundred in five
years, and quit the business. But
with all our drawbacks, our people
are on the upgrade. Seven cents
cotton has helped greatly, and if our
farmers will cut down the acreage
still more, it will bring 8 cents next
year and leave more land for wheat
and corn. The southern farmers
ought to form a mighty trust and
regulate acreage and price. Our own
county could regulate itself by organ
izing and combining with the local
banks. Our average crop is 10,000
bales, and at 8 cents a pound would
bring $400,000. About one-half of
this could be carried and held by the
more wealthy producers. The other
5,000 bales could get an advance of 6
cents a pound, or $30 a bale, from
the banks on warehouse certificates.
This would take only $150,000. Even
$25 a bale would pay the cost of pro
duction and leave the margin for the
producer, and this would require
from the banks only $125,000. If
every county was to do this a 10,
000,000 bale crop would jump to 8
cents within sixty days. That's the
way to meet trust with trust and
defy the speculators. Why can't it
be done? Bill Arp.
He Did His Own Marrjing.
John G. Thomason, 72 years of age,
of Summerville, S. C, is probably
the first and only man who has
officiated at his own marriage
service. Mr. Thomason recognizes
that he has done something remark
able and worthy of notice.
He was not phased in the slightest.
He said he wanted a wife and he im
mediately began to try to get one.
He found several girls whom he
thought he could love and finally he
centered all his affections upon one,
Miss Emily Alice Lamb, who resided
about seven miles from Summerville.
She agreed to marry him and ar
rangements for the marriage were
immediately begun.
Mr. Thomason said the magis
trates and ministers had frequently
expressed their sympathies for him
and their willingness to officiate
when he got a girl who would be wil
ling to marry him, but when he final
ly produced her they all flunked and
would not perform the ceremony.
Mr. Thomason was not again to be
outdone, so he decided to officiate at
his own marriage. He secured a
number of witnesses for the appoint
ed time, which was on the afternoon
of April 23. Miss Lamb was present
and when the time came, he said he
called her and told her to stand on
his left. He then read the service,
and at the proper place took her
hand. He made his own response, and
at the conclusion he told the gather
ing that he and Miss Lamb were now
Mr. and Mrs. Thomason, and they
were congratulated.
Mr. Thomason said that he had
been marrying people for twenty
five years and he saw no reason why
he should not marry himself. lie
said that he had discarded his former
wife who deserted him last summer
and he lives happily with his present
wife, who, by the way, is the third
woman to whom he has been mar
ried. Mrs. Thomason is 32 years of
age.

Sational Capital Matters.
From Our Regular Correspondent.
Washington, Nov, 7, 1899.
Mr. McKinley has played his last
card In his effort to prevent Ohio go
ing democratic, and be is by no means
confident of its winning. Finding
that the Philippine Commission was
not likely to get out its preliminary
report, on the hints given to its
members, in time to influence the
voters, he sent for the members to
come to the White House, and told
them in person to get up a prelimi
nary report at once. The Commis
sioners had not been out of the
White House an hour before the
press was furnished semi officially
with a statement saying that this
preliminary report would be a thor
ough endorsement of the administra
tion's Philippine policy from a to z,
and that it would recommend the
permanent retention of the Philip
pines by the United States. In short,
the Philippine Commission is going
to report what Mr. McKinley wishes
them to report what he and mem
bers of his administration have been
talking for weeks. Yet, he imagines
that this report is going to influence
public opinion sufficiently to stop the
alarming increase of adverse criti
cism of his Philippine policy. He
will know better by and by. Men
who draw big salaries for small work
may be willing to have their opin
ions made for them, but the people
at large, who are under no obliga
tions to the administration, have a
habit of doing their own thinking.
Another striking proof of the love
of the republican party for the "dear
working people" has just been given
by the administration. The War
Department has issued an order dis
continuing the making of uniforms in
this country, for the soldiers in the
Philippines, thus depriving many
deserving persons of needed work.
And before they were warned to
keep mum officers of the Quarter
master General's office have told why
simply because the uniforms can
be made cheaper in Hong Kong,
where Chinese cheap labor can be
had, than in the United States. But
republican stump speakers will go
right along talking about saving
their hearers from the competition
of Foreign "pauper labor."
The administration has been so
much worried by the wide publica
tion of its official recognition of
polygamy and slavery, under the
American flag, by its treaty with
the Sultan of theSulu islands, which
are a portion of the Philippine
group, that Prof. Schurman, presi
dent of the Philippine Commission,
was asked perhaps ordered would
be nearer correct to make a state
ment in defence of the administra
tion. He made a statement, which
was an excuse rather than a defense.
He admitted that a treaty had been
made with the Sultan which would
allow a continuation of both poly
gamy and slavery, but said in excuse
therefor that this government had to
do it, because Spain did it, or else to
engage in a bloody war with the na
tives under the Sultan's rule. In
other words, Prof. Schurmann's
intended-to-be friendly statement of
facts agrees with the strongest
statement made by those who have
criticised the administration for
sanctioning such a treatyi
The conversation of a party of gen
tlemen, in a Washington hotel, turn
ed to municipal socialism, which one
of them a New Yorker declared
had been making rapid strides dur
ing the last five years without at
tracting much attention. He said:
"Who would have thought even
twenty years ago that American
municipalities would be furnishing
free musical entertainment to the
townspeople? Had any one a quar
ter of a century ago predicted that
the public funds would be used to
give free baths to urban residents,
the prophecy would have been laugh
ed to scorn. Yet we see many cities
that have free baths as an establish
ed institution, and public sentiment
is favorable to the policy. The point
I make is that, having gone so far.
the tendency cannot be checked, and
what will be the result by the mid
dle of the next century no man can
say. I will hazzard a guess that not
many decades will go by ere in most
cities of the United States you will
find a public bakery, run by the mu
nicipal government, which will sup
ply bread to the people at actual
cost. If any man thinks that a sil
ly statement, let him revert to the
baths and music, now furnished by
cities, neither of which is as
lial as bread."

A tragedy occurred near Lovelace,
Wilkes county, last Friday, accord
ing to seemingly reliable reports
John Coleman shot and instantly
killed his sister-in-law, Mrs. Dora
Chambers, and then placed the gun
to his head and fired, killing himself.
Mrs. Chambers, whose husband, Jas.
Chambers, left here some time ago,
is reported to have been living with
Coleman. Some time since Coleman's
wife died and there are rumors of
foul play in reference to her death.
It is thought that Mrs. Chambers
had threatened to tell all she knew
of the matter and that this caused
Coleman to kill her and then him
self. It is said that Mrs. Chambers
was standing in Coleman's yard
when he stepped out of his door and
without a word shot her. Both par
ties were well connected, but had
been drifting downward for some
time.
A fatal accident occurred in Meck
lenburg county Thursday afternoon
which caused the death of Edward
Henderson, one of the county's old
est and best citizens. Mr. Hender
son's home is near Bethel Church
Thursday afternoon he decided to
have a large walnut tree that stood
in his front yard cut down. He was
standing near the base of the tree
while the men plied the axe. Just as
the tree began to fall, Mr. Hender
son, thinking he was getting out of
the way, walked almost under the
falling tree. A large limb struck
him on the head and back, carrying
him to the ground with it. At first
it was thought that be was killed in
stantly. When he was extracted
from the mass of broken branches,
there were some signs of returning
life. He was quickly taken into the
house and a messenger was sent in
post haste for a physician. Those of
Mr. Henderson's household did every
thing in their power to revive him
but before the physician came the
old gentleman had passed into the
great beyond.
