The editor of The Interior is
wandering through tho exte, Tor,

seems surprised to find so many
Scotchmen in the pulpit. lie
says:
Are our American churches to
depend on Scotchmen. or men of
Scotch decent, for pulpit ministra
tions? Perhaps not and yet it
would almost seem that Scotch

church; Scotchman was the
minister. And in this little town,
away down in Yankeedom, we
find Scotchman as pastor of the
Congregational church. Their
preaching is somewhat different
from the home born and home.

we are inclined to think there is
little more in it's quite as &C.
ceptable to the people. While
they lack the fexibility of the ma.

An Old Story Retold.

A correspondent furnishes ms
with an account oc the following
incident which has just occurred
IN garrison town ON the banks of
the Rhine. On n certain day last
week a party of German. officers
were dining together, when a dis.
pu'e-said to be about q lady
arose between two of them
Words ran sc high that finally
both declared they could orly be
satisfied by bloodshed, and, as du.
elling is not allowed, they adopted
another horrible means of ending
their quarrel. 1t was agreed that
they should stake their lives on a
throw of the dice, and which ever
threw the lowest number was
bound by his word of honor to
blow his own brains out. The un.
lucky number was thrown by a
brave young officer who had gone
through the late campaign with
distinction, and had been reward
ed with the Iron Cross. ue at
once prepared for his fate by
writing a letter to his Colonel, who
happened to he absent, and max.
ing his will, and then, the very
same evening, fulfilled his melan.
choly premise. His death and
the military tuhera, he was given
created a little excitement in tie
town, bat, apparently, the feeling
uprermost i'll the minds of tho in.

landlord of the hotel, who said to
me, 1T was a very funny duel"

gical observations. The cool at.
mosphere which floats under the
horizontal leaves of clover in the
morning watch, becomes towards
the evening warmer, and this air
tempers the atmosphere of tho
night, far above the snrfacc. AT

thought escaped being DESTROYED

gracefully around the early flower
which was protected from the
danger of freezing by the mild.
gentle, and balmy atmosphere dis.
tribufed from the field of clover
which stood as a guarding angel
over its tender beauty in the cold
frosty night. In the morning the
blossoms smiled grateful smile
for such comfortable law.

and quickest mode of improving

Lucky and unlucky Men.

1t has been etated that the Roth

broken merchants, deriving great
advantage from their experience.

tunate or not. Misfortune is not
of itself proof Of want of capaci-
ty., No man can control events,
nor can any man foresee them. AS
for luck" it is all in tho i,nagin.
alton. 1t is not a constitutional
trait. General success in life
comes from very different causes.
Even gamblers, whose faith in
luck" onght to he as good as any
body's, rely very little upon it
They take precautions against the
ficklc genins. All their games
have the chances decidedly in
their favor. Luck is vagabond
whose vissitudes are innnmerable,
until finally he becomes Beau
Hickman, the seedy sponge, whose
ups and downs should warn all
aga nst dallying with the delusions
which seldom lead to any other
end than ruin.
Indeed, fortuitous circumstances
may give a man sudden wealth,
but he deserves no more credit Tor
that than does a man deserve
ccnsure for being a loser By an
unforeseen event. 1t is unfortun.
ale for men, especially young ones,
to believe that they are g lucky"
and unlncky" men. 1t is apt to
impair their faith in the only safe
mental and physical qualities and
virtues, such as experience, good
Judgment, industry, tortitude, self
denial, and good faith in the rela
tions of life. To distrust these is
to impupn the wisdom and benef
cence of an overruling Provi-
dence.

CONTINUED FROM LAST WEEK
In 1924 or as, Young and Tim
my, of Charleston, came to Green.
vile, and established the Green,
VILE Republican, which was the
second newspaper ever published
above Columbia. The old Pendle.
ton Messenger was established in
1870 some odd. John Miller, Sr.,
the proprietor and editor of the
Pendleton Messenger, was prin-
ter in Woodtall's otficc in London,
and assisted in printing tho famous
letters of Junius, and for whici. he
had to leave England to avoid a
prosecution. Young and Timmy
employed Charles W. D'Oyley, to
edit their paper. He was a fine
classical scholar, and bad been the
law partner of Chancellor Dunkin.
The Lepablican had only two or
three hundred subscribers, ard
soon changed hands. O. IL. Wells
became proprietor, printer and ed-
itor for while. He was assisted in
ley, and tdf'ial ailefRRSGrl elfRRGrs 81 by Col; D'oy-
The name of tho paper was after
wards changed, and became the
Nountatneer. John ii. Hewitt, a
graduate of West Point, and q
poet, came to Grecnville in 1924,
as a teacher Of music, and in con
nection with the RepuI'ieun Office
started literary paper called, l
think, the Literary Messenger. 1t
fourished bat a short time, but
long enough to have published in
it, a poem by the editor, dubbed
the Trave er. In the course Of a
few years a fierce political contest
sprungup in South Carolina, OH the
subject of Tariff, ullification and
Disnnion. The Mountaineer was
a staunch Union paper, opposed
both the Tariff and Modification
as remedy. to get rid of it. Its
subscription list increased rapidly,
and other papers sprang up in the
adjoining Districts. Now, ] believe,
every County in the State has it's
newspaper 80 30 -,~,
The Tariff OF 1924 gave rise to
political meetings throughout the
State, and Greenville became fa-
mons for here, and was very much
excited for many years afterwards.
Parties were formed, barbacues
given, stump speeches made, and
tirery editorials published in the
-Mou'stGsneer'. Friends wero es-
tranged, and serious difficulties
arose. 1t is strange, passing
strange, how foolish sensible men
will be in politics and religion
Instead of tolerating q difference

necessary to declare war against
