Col. Hoke Smith, of Atlanta, Ga.,
4ias returned from-, e -visit to Wash
Jngton. He says he didn't remark
while there that President Roosevelt
is the greatest living American. Mr.
,Roosevelt probably didn't say that
jbtr. Smith was that sort, either, so
,we do not think that a row is necessary.

OUR DUMB ANIMALS.
"Our' Dumb 'Animals' is the name
of one of the most useful and most
interesting publications in this coun
try. It is published at Bos,ton by Mr,
Geo. T. Angell, who has made, a life
study of ... the manner in which so
many people mistreat dumb animals!
A recent editorial squib in that
magazine was as follows:
"Refuse to ride in any cab, herdic
or carriage drawn by a docked horse,
and tell the driver why."
The word "docked" used in this
connection refers to the too common
habit of some people who clip and
shorten .the tails of horses their
only means of defense against flies
and other pests in the summer. .
It is very wrong, and it makes the
horse appear at a disadvantage in
the eyes of most sensible people. It
is only the dudes and dudenes who
care to clip the tail of a horse to
give them a nobby appearance. Every
State, or every town, ought to have
an ordinance against the practice,
for it is only in cities and towns that
it is practiced, farmers, as a rule,
being too sensible. It is both silly
and inhumane.
THE EPILEPTIC COLONY.
A separate institution for the treat
ment of epileptics will be established
On a portion of the, Grimes land near
this city, and near the Central Hos
pital' for Insane.
" Between $200,000 and $300,000
will be spent on the buildings and
grounds. The buildings will be of
brick and after modern designs..
Hfef eff ore epileptics have been treat-;
-eel "at the asylums for the insane, but
this plan' of separation' has been;
deemed advisable. ' ' '"'I
The buildings will- probably be
completed Ahis, year. The State, of
course, will furnish the money. "
BUSINESS WORRY.
Our Home, one of the brightest
weeklies in the State, published at
Marshville, get's off the : following
sensible . article. , -
"Not many years ago a man in this
county was said to have declared that
it was his highest ambition to leave
an estate worth a hundred thousand
dollars, r He's dead. Business cares
killed: him and he didn't leave as
much p.rpperty as he wanted to. .leave.
He died "in the prime of life or
what, no doubt, would have, been his
prime ,if ; he had taken time to enjoy
comfort 'and ease... There are young
men in this county that is, com
paratively young ..men whose heads
are getting white from business wor
ry. Some of them haven't made
enough yet to retire from business.
In fact, some of them possess very
little property, but the money craze
has them firmly in its grasp just the
same. They can't enjoy a great ser
mon, they can't, en joy reading. They
don't know how to get pleasure from
their natural surroundings. The lit
tle things of nature have no charms
, for them. - Their minds, hearts and
souls are centered on money-getting.
They'll probably die by the time, or
soon after, they reach middle life. If
men indulge an excessive appetite for
.money it.wiU kill them just as it. will
kill them to Indulge! an excessive ap
petite for whiskey." .... .

The House of Mourning.
The Saviour taught that they that
mourn are blessed.' They shall "lbe
comforted. Others have 'as much
cause to ; mourn;5 but: sorrow :is' un
pleasant, and they put it away.r This
ia a busy age, and we have-no time
for sorrow. . This is a . joyous opti
mistic age; we have no toleration of
grief. Our mothers read sad tories,
our fathers sang sad songs; but now
the minor key is avoided in music
and even in novels. It is strange that
with all our light-heartedness we
hold to the fashion of wearing
mourning for the dead- a fashion
that can hardly be regarded as in
good taste or altogether consistent
with the Christian faith.
It is not wholesome to shut our
selves away from the world s sorrow.;
We should at least know something
of that burden He bore who carried'
the load of human woe. If there, is'
no grief in our repentance, there can
be no joy in our pardon. Where there:
is no mourning there is no comfort
ing. He was a true philosopher who
said: "It is better to go to the house
of mourning than to the house of
feasting." If we help others bear
their sorows, our own will be lighter
when they come. The comfort ' we
find for others waits for us.
Government Whitewash.
About every year we have publish
ed the recipe for what is known as
Government whitewash, or the White
wash recommended by the United
States Department of Agriculture.
For the benefit of our readers who
wish to use whitewash freely and
they cannot use it too freely about
their barns, stables, and hog-pens, as
well as their houses and fences, we
publish it again, as follows: V
Slake half a bushel of lime in boil
ing water, covering to keep In the;
steam. Strain the liquid, and add a
peck of salt previously dissolved in
warm water, three pounds ground
rice boiled to a thin paste and stirred
in while hot,' oner-half - pound . Spanish,
whiting, and one pound glue dis
solved by soaking in cold water and
then hung over a slow fire in a glue
pot. To this mixture add ..five gal
lons of hot water, stir well . and let
stand for several days covered from
dust. It is better applied hot.
I Think I Can
To think you can do a thing is
almost victory. To think you cannot
do it means defeat; You are as the
saying goes whipped at the start.
"I can't" never did anything; "I
can" is almost omnipotent;; This is
the victory that o vercometh w the
world, even your faith. ",You can't
do it," said one young man to an
other. He was a failure while the
other was bringing things, to pass
doing the very things' that his friend
said he could not do. I was' gettirig
up my first lot of samples, to go oh ::
the road when the proprietor dailed
my attention to some goods that hail
been on hand for some time because
other ' salesmen had hot "pushed'
sales, and said do you think you 6an
sell these. I replied in the affirma
tive. My employer then said, "I wish
you would take samples, for a map
generally does what he thinks he
can do, but he is defeated at the
beginning if he thinks, he can not do
a thing." "According to your faith,
so shall it be unto you." This I
know is a free translation but .why
may, it not apply since we; can. not
separate our religion from any phase
of our life. The same faith that
saves gives success in life. : There is
but one kind of faith: I believe; I
think I can. The trust is in Christ
in the one Instance, and in self in
the other. If so much'can be accom
plished by f aith'in self , where is1 bur
faith in Christ? " '
