that the civil-sercice law owes
its existence to the exertions of
the late Senator Pendleton.
Democrat,, of Ohio. It was he
that secured the enactment ol
the law during the revulsion of
feeling against the spoils system
that followed the assassination of
President Garfield, of Ohio.
Guiteau, the assassin, became
excited over the ConkingsPlatt
contest with President Garfield
about distribution of the offices
in New York, and it was felt at
Washington, after the assassina
tion, that something should be
done to abate the scandal o.
office mongering after each pres
idential election. Senator lViul
leton conducted the civil service
bill through the Senate and sf

Arthur first applied it, extending
it to about 15,000 federal offices,
Its application was enlarged by
Presidens Cleveland and Harris

with President McKinley's re

ly the whole civil service to
which it can be conveniently
applied.

Committed on the Person
Of Bert a Camack, a
white girl 15years
of Age.
GEO. ROUGHTON IN JAIL.
Public Opinion is Divided
as to Roughton's guilt
or Innocence.
George Roughton, a white
man about 22 years of age, was
lodged in Tyrrell county jail at
Columbia, N. C , last Monday,
to await trial, charged with the
crime of rape, committed on the
person of Bertha Camack,
white girl about 15 years of age
Bertha Camack is a half-witted
paryletic, of very humble birth
and circumstances, and accord
ing to her statement, she was
alone in the house of the woman
with whom she lived, when
George Roughton came into the
house where she was, and she
having repulsed him and re
fused to grant his indecent re
quest, he forcibly carried her in
to the bed-room and accom
plished his devilish purpose.
She says she screamed, but there
being no neighbors nearer than
500 yards no one heard her.
Upon the return of the woman
with whom she lived she imme
diately told her, but was caus
tioned by her not to tell it un
til the Superior Court came.
The crime was committed on
August 8th, and immediately
afterwards George Roughton
disappeared, but was arrested
upon his reappearance 0:1 the
21st when the news of the crime
was made public.
The prisoner now denies ever
having sexual knowledge of the
prosecutrix, but there are ru
mors to the effect that on the
preliminary hearing before the
magistrate he admitted this He
made a break for liberty from
the jailor, which was unsuccess
ful, 4but the jailor had his arm
badly bitten by him.
There is no fear of a lynching
bee, and public opinion is about
equally divided as to his guilt or
innocence.

said, "God might have made a

also, lie never did." Why

HEAVEN AND HELL.
Various Theories As To The
Location of Paradise and
Hades.
Hell and heaven beliefs had
their origin about the year 150
B. C , and since that time there
have been thousands of attempts
to locate these places, the one of
future punishment and the one
of everlasting happiness The
old mediaeval idea of hell is the
one which gives us to unhers
stand that the devil and his imps
have their furnaces and their
caldrons and other articles of
infernal ultility constantly work
ing somewhere within the bow
els of the earth. On the other
hand, we are told and believe
that heaven is an abode of light,
beauty and joy, located far above
the earth. One writer believes
that heaven will be on a planet
which will be prepared for the
saints in the last day, and an
other believes that this earth,
burned over and purified by fire,
will be the final resting place of
those who escape the horrors of
perpetual punishment in the
lell that has been prepared "for
those who love sin." Dr. Whit
son, the triend of Sir Isaac New
ton, and the first of the great
raze of "speculative astronos
mers, ' believes that hell is lo
cated on a comet.
But the most curious theory
we nave ever investigated was
that advanced by Dr. Mortimer,
uithor of "The Spirit of God as
ire. One of the several substi
tutes of this remarkable book
was one which pave the reader
o understand that the author
believed that heaven is located
on the inner srlobe of the sun.
This substitute was "The Globe
Within the Sun Our Heaven."
According to Mortimer's theory,
our sun is surrounded by an en
velope or photosphere flame
100,000 miles itself. Taken al
together, this idea of the photo
sphere is a vast non-luminous
void. Farther on is the great
globe of the sun itself.
Taken altogether, this idea of
the sun may be aptly compared
to a peach or a plum. The en
velope of flame occupies the
place on the skin, the "vast non
luminous void" the place of the
meat of the iruit and the central
globe (true sun) the place of the
seed. On this sun globe, inside
the great fiery envelope, Dr.
Mortimer believed heaven to be
situated. The atmosphere or
envelope of fire he took to be
hell or the place of future pun
ishnient for the wicked. The
"non-luminous void," according
to Mortimer, is the "great gulf
between," which is mentioned
quite frequently in the scrip
tures. St. Louis Republic.

Don't Wait So Long.
Why reserve the kind words
of love until the dear one is gone
and cannot hear them? Why
not give your friend the flowers
while they are fresh and sweet,
and not wait to lay them on his
tomb? While he is struggling
with adversity and is cast down
by disappointment speak the
words of affection you will want
to say when he lies cold on his
bier. Grasp his hand while it is
warm with the pulse of life and
can feel the pressure of your
own. Wlien his heart is still in
death, it cannot feel joy or sor
row, and a friend is no nearer
than a stranger. Alas! how bitter
the memory of unkind word:,
spoken in haste, that have pierced
the poor heart like a thorn, aud
left a painful sting behind.
Could we recall our loved ones
that have gone from us, how we
would try to comfort ihem!
What endearing terms we vould
use! But they will never return.
Their lips are sealed in silence,
and their ears hear not the voice
of love, of praise or of blame.
Then speak the words of sym
pathy now while they are with
you. Be kind and gentle to the
little ones. They are with you
to-day, to-morrow they sleep
under the daisies. "Be ye kind
to one another."
