THE PINEHURST OUTLOOK
enough to save life ; if they are growing
old they know they will be provided for,
and in time of war they generally remain
quietly at home while their master goes
and spills his blood for his country."
Concerning North Carolina the book
says in part : "New Bern was a pleas
ant town, but the enemy has spoiled it
and driven away the people. At Fayette
ville is the state arsenal, where many
guns are made. The guns and gun
machinery were moved there from Har
per's Ferry since the war began. The
people of this state are noted for their
honesty and for being slow but sure. No
braver men are fighting in this war for
independence than those from North
Carolina. While some few cowards re
fuse to fight for their country, it is a not
able fact that nearly all of them were of
;the ignorant class and many of them did
not know what patriotism was. We should
feel as much pity for them as contempt,
because they had not been properly
taught."
Of South Carolina this geographical
reader says : "This was the first state
to secede. Many persons blamed the
South Carolinians for leaving the Union
too soon, but it may have been best ; it is
impossible for us to decide. The war
would have come sooner or later. God
usually punishes wicked nations by war.
I mean by this that when people become
too wicked he gives them over to hard
ness of heart to work out their own pun
ishment and sometimes destruction. How
much better for all to be good. In this
state, as well as in North Carolina, there
are many cotton mills and woolen fac
tories, which produce excellent domestics
and jeans, besides spinning much cotton
yarn for the mothers and sisters to
weave. In some of these factories negro
slaves perform the work. South Caro
linians are termed a chivalrous people.
You do not understand this? Well, when
any one imposes on them their motto is
to fight. Also, if they see a person bad
ly treated they feel bound to help him.
Their leading men have sometimes been
called hotheaded, because they are so
quick to resent an injury. The upper
classes are educated and refined, but the
poor are generally ignorant. Most of the
labor is performed by slaves. These are
hardly as well treated as in North Caro
lina and Virginia, but they have the Gos
pel preached to them and are generally
contented and happy. On the coast a
chain of beautiful islands is covered with
live oak, magnolias, with blossoms as
large as a hat, and the finest of sea island
cotton, but the enemy has spoiled most
of these and stolen many of the negroes
who till the land. They told them they
were free, and even formed regiments of
them to fight against their masters. But
the negro is too cowardly for a soldier,
and so he is of but little service to his
northern friends."
This is said about Arkansas: "This
state has suffered terribly during the
war. The enemy have ravaged the
whole of it and the wrongs of the people
are heartrending. But there is a God of
Vengeance and ere long these sufferers
will be avenged." As to Missouri this
is given : This state has suffered dread
fully during the war. The people are
much divided and did not secede with
that unanimity with which most of the
other states did. The enemy have de
vastated much of the state; but the
brave spirits there will yet conquer, and
this will be one of the finest states in the
Confederacy. The Indians from the In
dian Territory have joined the southern
army and made, themselves useful to our
cause." '
This is said as to Tennessee: "The
enemy took Nashville, the capital of the
state, the first year of the war, and have
not yet been driven from it ; but they will
ere long. Many hard battles have been
fought here during this war for independ
ence. But though she is oppressed now
and suffers much, no one fears for Ten
nessee. She is nobly doing her part
and when the war is ended she will
be one of our best states. Many pure
spirits are praying for peace and if we
will humble ourselves as we should we
shall soon be blessed with the glorious
news, Peace ! Peace ! ! Peace ! ! ! O, who
will not appreciate peace when it comes."
The review questions are very interest
ing indeed. Here are a few of them.
Q When people elect a man by voting,
to rule over them, what is he called?
A A President.
Q For what length of time are presi
dents elected?
A In the Southern Confederacy they
serve six years, but in the United States
only four.
Q If people elect a bad president what
is done at the close of his term?
A Another man is elected.
Q When one man rules a country,
what is the government called?
A A monarchy.
Q Suppose he is wicked or a bad man,
how can the people help themselves?
A They generally have to bear it un
til their King dies.
Q If the people of the United States
had always elected good men for rulers
what would have been the result ?
A We should have had no war.
Q Why?
A Because every man would have
been willing to treat others justly and
there would have been no cause for war.
Q Are these judgments for our sins
alone ?
A They are partly for our sins and
partly for the sins of our forefathers.
Q Then how shall . we expect peace,
since sin has brought war?
A We must repent of our sins and
ask God to bless our efforts and defend
our country.

Kansas Itanclmien Feeding- Antelope
.Ranchers in the southwest part of
Greeley county are feeding a big bunch
of antelope, running wild. It is necessary
in order to keep them from starving until
the snow melts, for it has covered every
weed and all the grass. For the first
time in ten years the snow is so deep in
this county that wild animals must be
cared for or starvation will result. There
is more than a foot of snow on the level
and nothing possible for the antelope to
eat is to be found in all the big sweep of
upland. Greeley county is almost as
level as a floor, all over, but the big. herd
that has been running wild for years
finds subsistence all of the winter, except
ing in a case of this sort, and the ranch
ers are looking after their needs now.
