' How naturally mankind adapt them selves to those of their kind, their age, sex and mental ooodiUon. Birds of the same feather will flock together, and so these little grandchildren will run away from me to frolic with other little tote, and it makes me jealous. Just so the next set from 10 to 12 years . clan to gether. Then comes the blushing school girls from 12 to 15, who have lengthened out their dresses and ceased to pull up' their garters every few minutes as they walk about. It is the same with the boys, and when they get to be baseball experts with a college at tachment they talk of their exploits in a language that is heathen Chinee to everybody except themselves and claim to be the elect. And so it goes on and on until we have passed our maturity, and then we veterans take our comfort in communion with veterans and pay our tribute to the good old times that will never return. We are the elect. I believe it is true that nobody but the old men and women give praue to the old times and the customs of their fathers, and so if every generation of old people believe that the age of their youth was the beat, then the times must have degenerated awfully since the days of the prophets. Have they or have they not gotten better instead of worse? The answer is, they are bet ter in some respects and worse, in others. Public morals were very loose a hundred years ago. Andrew Jackson was a gambler, horse racer and duelist seventy-five years ago. Such a man eotua not be elected president now. Foreign missions and Sabbath' schools were almost unknown. The slave trade with Africa was in full blast In New England, and New England rum was the purchase money. Imprison ment for debt was the law generally, and so was flogging in the navy. Whisky was unknown, but . brandy and rum were kept in almost every respectable, household.. Illiteracy pre vailed almost all over the south except among the aristocracy, mere were but few books to read and fewer news papers. There were no railroads or telegraphs or sewing machines. But the people were generally honest and religious. There were no trusts; no strikes, no millionaires, no suicides or robberies, and a murder was a rare event and done in the heat of passion. No doubt but thai there are hundred of these crimes committed now to one then according to population. Well, then, why arraign the old people for lamenting that the good old times have Konef Not Tone ago I heard a gifted and cultured kninister of the olden time preach a: most charming and impressive sermon from the text in Jeremiah which reads, "Stand in the way and ask for the old paths, which is the good way, and walk therein, and ve shall find rest for your souls." One of the best tests of the strength of a sermon is your remembrance of the text., . When a gifted and scholarly minister is done with it and with holy hands says, "Let us pray," what a solemnity fills the place, and the text lingers with' you for years to come. It does not seem like the same scrip ture. ' "The old paths, "J'walk yet in the old paths," has been ringing in my ears ever since. I know that Lord Bacon was growing old when he wrote, "Old wood to burn, old wine to drink, old friends to trust and old authors to- read. ' And uold smith said, "I love everything that is old." King James used to call for his old shoes when be was tired. There is something almost sacred about the old songs, such as "Auld Lang Syne," "The Old Oaken Bucket," "The Old Arm Chair," and even ."Old Grimes is dead, that good old man. My friend Tom Sawyer, of Florida, writes that he still clings to his old clothes; that he has worn his pants for years and years and bad' them naii soled in the seat and reinforced at the knees and reheormed at the bottom; that he boutrht a home made pair of socks twenty-seven years ago anu is wearing them still, though he has had new feet knit to them three times and new tops twice. He says that Governor Bloxam dearly loves the old things old heir-looms, etc. , and boasts that he has an old barrel that has been in the family ever since Columbus discovered Americar-for he brought it over with him full of brandy, and it has had Kood liquor of some sort in it ever since; that his great great grandfathers put new staves in it, and his great grand father put new heads and his father put new hoops on it, but the same old bung-hole still remains and when the fluid is drawn the same old sound goes goodle-goodle. Tom says he is going to take the bung-hole and the goodie to the Atlanta exposition and exhibit them as the only relics of Christopher Columbus. ,: But about old friends. . Every veteran has them and it gives pleasure to see them honored.-; Thejvery prospect of seeing Henry G. Turner in the gover nor's chair gives me pleasure, for .know him well and love him. Maybe I 'would love Colonel Estill, or Pope Drown just as well if I knew them as well. , 1 have great respect for them and am proud of their records. I be lieve that either would dignify the gubernntorial chair, but as Judge Underwood said to me in the long ago : "Major, let me tell you why I would like to be governor of Georgia.- You will admit that knowledge Is a little bet ter than faith. There are many good men whom I believe would make a good governor, but I don't know it. Now I do know that I would; and there is a difference between faith and knowledge. Don't you perceive T" Just so I believe that Colonel Estill or Pope Brown would make a good governor, but I know that Henry G. Turner would and knowledge is better than faith. . "Don't you preceiveT" If he isnot an incorruptible, unselfish, brainy statesman, we have none. Let his name be presented and I believe the verdict will be as the king said of Mor decai: "Thus shall it he done unto the man whom the people delighted .-to honor." . BillAbp, Twc Paris Made rial a. Charlotte Observer . Two things that our special reports of the three-days' meetings In South Carolina "have made manifest, are: I, that the disfranchisement of the negro, while it has driven him from the polls' has not taken him out of politics. Speaking more correctly, he is dragged in again and is about as much oi an issue as ever. 2, that Senator Tillman and his brigade are ready for a war upon the cotton manufacturers ' and propose to attack them by stirring up the mill operatives against the propne? tors. ' Unless his words belie him and he is totally misjudged, he is preparing to usurp the Dirroeatives of the . walk ing delegate and professional agitator and put the devil in the mill people. It may be asked what these operatives have to hope for in turning against their employes and following him. Nothing;, of course. They ought to e able to see that he has fed the farmers nothing for all these years except dry husks, and take warning accordingly, but the prejudices of people are easily played upon- and it is no difficult task to persuade employes in certain line that they are ill-treated. The threats of Senator Tillman in this con nection bode no good to the cotton mill industry of South Carolina, but thatSUte sowed to the wind when it first gave ear to his senseless agitation, and it may expect, as a logical se quence, to reap the whirlwind. j Gran Caralral Free street Pair this Fall. V Richmond, .Ya., will hold, during the week of October 7th, lasting the entire week, a Free Street Fair Carnival, and Electrical Fete that, from ' present indications, will be a monster. Plans are out for arching the entire length of Broad street with electric arches, and at the foot of each of these arches will be a handsome pagoda, in which will be displayed electrical devices of all kinds for cooking, baking, welding irons, driving machinery 8 and, in fact, a perfect expoeitipn of the pos sibilties of electricity as now known. ' The streets will be lined with booths. Shows will be there galore". Parades will be more plentiful and greater, than last year. One day will be given to the military, with Roosevelt and other distinguished men as guests of honor. Electrical fountains will entertain you. Bands will play, and, altogether, all Richmond will more than do herself proud during her "Week of Wonders." Peeallaiitlea of Australia. There is no continent which has so much dry land as Australia. It is a great dry heart, with a few patches of preen about the edires. On the east side facing the Pacific is a long range of mountains, roughly speaking run ning north and south, and the most Of the good land lies betwen those moun tains and the sea. West of the moun tains vast plateaus begin and extend on and on, spotted here and there by low rocky ranges for more than 2,000 miles. The land falls slightly as it goes toward the west, but at the end is still 1,000 feet high. It is 2,000 feet high at the east, and in the Astralian Alps or the Eastern -range it rises to more . than 7,000 feet. There is a general slope to ward the south in some places bo great that the continent falls to the level of the sea, but in others it keeps' an alti tude of 500 and 600 feet, ending in cliffs at that height, which line the Australian Bight for hundreds of miles.

Hucaaaa Waate War Departaaeat la aaaa Her Heme, When Secretary Root returns to Washington he will be confronted with a case which is just now puiiling the War Department officers. It U the complaint of a man living in Nebraska that the War Department was a party to taking his wife from him and send ing her to the Philippines to teach the little Filipinoj while she had children of her own in this country. It was early in July that Miss Fannie Wads worth,' of Mellwood, Neb., was selected for appointment as a teacher in the Philippines. Her name was sent to the War Department by a teachers' agency in Boston and her appointment was credited to Prof. Atkinson, who is at khe head of the Philippines school sys tem. . Upon the receipt of her name at the War Department a telegram was sent her asking if she would accept and when she could leave for Manila. She responded at once that she accepted the appointment and could leave whenever the Department desired. Just at that time a transport was at San Francisco preparing to take several hundred teachers to the Philippines and she was accordingly notified that transportation would be furnished her without delay. Meanwhile the Department was aston ished to receive a telegram from Mell wood, saving that Miss Fannie Wads worth oold not accent the SDDointment because she had a husband and chil dren. This dispatch 'was signed "By her husband, George Wadsworth." The War Department telegraphed Miss Fannie Wadsworth what her hus band said. She replied that she could go, that she had no children, and ask ed that the transportation be forwarded to her at a little town in Kansas, where she was going before leaving for Manila. Notwithstanding the husband's protest, the transportation was forwarded to the young woman, but in tne name oi Mrs. Fannie Wadsworth" instead oi Miss Fannie Wadsworth. Upon re ceiving the Department's letter she hur ried to San Francisco ana there em barked on the transport with the other teachers. George Wadsworth again addressed the War Department, this time by let ter. He remarked that from the tele grams which were coming to Mellwood to his wife he gathered that the Depart ment officers had not received - his re cent messages to the effect that the teacher was married and was leaving her home and children. He explained that he could suDport his wife and that while she had on several occasions left her home to teach she had always re turned repentant of her conduct. The husband argued that he could not believe that the officers would do anything to separate his wife from her family and he felt assured that ner ap pointment would be cancelled. His letter came too late however, as Mrs. Fannie Wadsworth had sailed. It is understood, however, that her friends explained to the War Department mat, while she was married, the children were not hers, but her husband's by a former wife. Whether her appointment will be cancelled will be determined later after a fuller inquiry. ' ; Norlb Carolina History Served la Delicious Bits. Tha R F JnhnRnn Publishing Com- Richmond.

The extension of our cotton selling area has long been regarded by The Constitution as one of the most im portant subjects now before us. We have already adverted to the re port of Consul General McWade, that there was not an American merchant in southern China, a section represent ing over two hundred million people. With the demand for cotton more than equal to double our present cot ton production, the mercantile instinct of the United States has lain dormant, content to leave others that work which we should do ourselves. Another consular report is to hand emphasizing this sad lack in our Ameri can commercial system. Consul Smith writes from Moscow that the production of cotton in central Asia is increasing every year, to which the Russian gov ernment and the cotton consumers are giving such encouragement as to make it compete with American cotton. They are, however, under the disadvan tage of having to import their seed, and, as pointed out by Colonel Peek, they -will have a continual expense of irrigation to meet. But the important parts of Consul Smith's letter is to the effect that the Americans themselves are making possible this competition, by refusing to so prepare their cotton bales as to be acceptable to buyers in the Russian empire. They object to the bale, believing that it suffers a loss of from to 10 per cent in weight. The Russian merchants, it is said, have made complaints for years, but no notice Jias been taken of them. AH this is explained by Consul Smith when he points out that "all American cotton is shipped to Russia through brokers in Liverpool and others ports, who are not interested in the proper packing and endure no losses in the transporta tion." Here is a peculiar situation indeed. An empire in need of our products; our cotton farmers discussing a re striction of their production because of want of a valuable market; the whole situatiou brought about because we have sought that market through an an indifferent intermediary who cares for neither the producer nor the con sumer, but who is content to rake off his profits without regard to the future relationship of his two principals. The farmers -of the United States hare suffered untold losses by accept ing Europe as their middleman, and they can only hope to reach a better condition when they so develop their mercantile instinct that they will go direct to their customers, instead of frittering away their profits in paying middlemen who are responsible for the losses entailed. meKeesport and Ita Lost Mill. Charlotte Observer., One battle in the war between the steel trust and its striking workmen has been fought in the village of MeKees port, Pa. There the trust has ordered one of its big plants, the Dewees Wood Milt, dismantled and removed to the Kiskiminetas Valley , where it has several non-union mills, and where it has loca ted its school to educate v new men to take the place of strikers. MeKeesport is furious and says the trust is trying to destroy the town. In view of the hos tility, however, of both the townspeople and the town authorities to the mill owners, the action of the trust is not surprising.. The Louisville Courier Journal is authority for the statements that the "mayor of MeKeesport made public proclamation that he would not recognize any rights of the mills under the law; thR he would not permit the police or the deputies to protect the property of the mills from lawless violence by strikers, and that he would arrest any free workman who came to MeKeesport to seek work in the mills. There was a McKeesp rt parade in his honor for taking this anarchistic posi tion; and when a man did have the temerity to go to MeKeesport to apply for work in this very Dewees Wood Mill he was arrested and was given the choice of going to the work-house or of leaving town." Without Koing into, the menus oi the dispute between mill owners and strik ers at all, the hostility of the citizens to the one industry that is the life of their town is enough to cause the mill men to desire to clear out. MeKees port abuses the goose that lays. the golden egg and then whines because the goose goes somewhere else to lay. Jrew ae Oelor-Llae. Skelly "Phwat hov ye quit work for, McGintyT" , ' v.
