spent most of the past ten years
in Ohio; but spent part of one
year in the extreme north-western

Dr. Amos Seville left Monday
morning for the Cumberland
Valley where he expects to re
main for an indefinite period.
We do not know what stock own

he should conclude to remain
over there. The fertile soil of
that famous valley seems to have
great attraction for Amos, and
we will not be surprised if our
next personal will be an account
of his not only having purchased
a farm, but
Rev. W. M. Cline spent Tues
day in town shopping and chat
ting with friends. Mr. Cline
says he does not propose to be
idle on account of his not having
a charge this year, but will find
plenty to keep both mind and
hand busy. Mr, Cline has had
the harness on for many years,
and we think no one can be
grudge him the privilege of throw
ing them off and taking a run in
the pasture, same privilege grant
ed other famous "war horses."

Mjr Does lister Revolt?
Written for the Nkwh by Jiiir.en A. Stewort.
We see almost daily in our
newspapers such headlines as
"Ulster in a State of Revolt."
War Imminent in Ulster."
Why is it, that the Scotch-Irish
people a people noted for peace,
justice, and diplomacy would
arise in rebellion against ' the
English government? The at
tention of the world is now at
tracted to the action of the Scotch
Irish in Ulster, the whole north
ern province of Ireland.
When the dark cloud of war is
hovering over so many nations of
the earth, it shows Ulster in a
bad light to rise up in revolt un
less for the best of causes. The
other provinces of Ireland have
so often rebelled against English
rule, that it may truly be said
that Ireland is a land of woes,
because, for many centuries the
cruel heel of the foreign oppres
sor ha3 been on the Irish neck;
and England has so often taken
advantage of the unhappy re
ligious complications in Ireland,
and stirred up strife within her
borders, which has laid waste
her resources, and made her peo
ple weak tnd impotent, either to
govern themselves, or to resist
succeeding inhesions. It may be
truly said that there is scarcely a
spot in all the length of this fa
mous island, but what has been
nurtured by the blood of patriots;
and the fitful flames of revolt and
dissension have burst forth in
termittently for many centuries.
The qualities for peace and jus
tice which have distinguished the
Scotch-Irish people of Ulster,
have always militated in restor
ing peace and harmony in her
sister provinces and throughout
the English government; yet,
now, strange as it may seem, the
Scotch-Irish of Ulster, are in a
state of revolt against England,
and against the most of Ireland
as well.
Why does this condition exist
in Ulster? is a question that the
writer will try to answer.
The trouble in Ulster to-day is
largely religious, the result of
hoary feuds based upon religious
differences. The scheme of Home
Rule which the English parlia
ment has almost a3-good as pass
ed, has stirred up all these religi
ous differences. The Scotch-Irish
people reject this scheme of
Home Rule. They say, it does
not suit them; they don't want it
The English government under
the guise and pretense, that it
will ameliorate the condition of
the people of Ireland, is about to
force Home Rule upon them.
But England's fairness, justice,
and diplomacy with Ireland, has
never been commendable. It was
not with America, and well the
Irish people know it especially
the Scotch Irish people of Ulster.
Away back in the centuries when
King James I was on the throne,
the lands of Ulster were confis
cated; i. e., seized and appropri
ated for public settlement.
Scotch immigrants who left Scot
land on account of English re
ligious persecution, came and
took up the land3 of Ulster under
homestead rights, same as has
prevailed in the United States.
These Scotch settlers brought
Presbyterianism with them and
expected they would enjoy re
ligious freedom and toleration.
But not so for any great length
of time. It was not long until
the English parliament passed
the obnoxious "Test" and "Mar
riage" laws, and many of them
had to dispose of their lands and
emigrate to America. Many of
them settled in the Great Cum
berland Valley of Pennsylvania.
The English government has
so manipulated the management
of Ulster, that to-day she has the
most cosmopolitan population
in Ireland. To check the
spread the growth of Presby
terianism, Episcopalian (the es
tablished church of England) set
tlers were sent in until now, at
least, two-thirds of the popula
tion of Ulster are .Episcopalians.
Presbyterianism has no voice in
or representation in the govern
ment of Ulster. Scotjh-Irish
have been persecuted and haras
sed so long that they have lost
all confidence in the English gov
ernment. In the other provin
ces of Ireland, the Catholic reli
gion predominates. Hence what
benefits? what advantages? what
representation in Government?
would the scheme of Home 'Rule
give to the ' Scotch-Irish who
would necessarily be as slaves lo
cally and nationally.
It is no wonder that the late
deceitful scheme of Home Rule
ha3 fomented all the ancient spir
it of antagonism among the
Scotch-Irish, lamentable as it may
be, viewed from any standpoint.
No wonder such noble, patriotic
men as Sir Edward Carson and
Lord Charles Beresford have es
poused the Scotch-Irish cause and
are her leaders. No wonder that
more than 100 officers of the En
glish army have refused to march
to battle with the Ulsterite Un
ionists. No wonder that Ulster
revolts and raises an army to
fight any further encroachments
on their religious freedom of Eng
land, and depend upon their co
religionists in the British 'army
to help them, and upon the sym
pathy of the British soldiery to
prevent bloodshed.
Why in the name of all that is
good, does not England give to
Ulster, and to all Ireland the
same privilege that the United
States gave to Cuba, Porto Rica,
and will eventually give to the
Philippines the privilege to rule
themselves.

FOR THE LEGISLATURE.
To The Democratic Voters of
Fulton County.
After having received so much
encouragement, I feel that I
would be shirking my duty if I
did not offer myself as a candi
date for the nomination for the
General Assembly the second
term, as anyone knows full well
that a man elected to a second
term has more influence, and can
serve his constituents better the
second term than he possibly can
the first time.
I, therefore, announce myself
as a candidate for the General
Assembly, Subject to the decision
of the Democratic voters at the
primary election to be held May
19, 1914, respectfully ask the
support of the voters, and pledge
myself to support the ticket nom
inated. I also pledge myself, if
nominated and elected, to do as I
have done in the past discharge
my duty fearlessly and honestly,
and work hard for the best inter
est of the people of Fulton Coun
ty and the State.
Respectfully yours,
GEO. B. MELLOTT.

gain. Remember, the price aft
