by digging deep down and laying the
foundation of the future OF this our beau
tiful sunny South, upon the word and
will of God. Let us strive by Gods
grace to make this q Christian country
not in name only, but indeed and in
truth. And this must be done by you
who call yourselves his people. The
times are out of joint; and ever will be,
until the day come when men abandon
ing their petty schemes for the alleyla-
ton of mankind's burden and the bet
tering of our social condition shall go
back to the word Of God and build'upon
the foundation already laid, even the Cos
pei Of Jesus Christ, for other foundation
can no man lay than that is laid. NeVcr
will that daily prayer be answered thy
Kingdom come,' until men cease build
ing their houses, social, governmental or
what not, upon the sand of mans worth
less ]rcasOnirgs, with their foundations
of wood, hay and stubble, and build them
upon the Rock, which is Christ, laying
deep the foundation upon the tried
granite of Gods untailing truth.
Go forth then, good christian, from the
sanctuary to-day, resolved by the grace
of God, that from henceforth you will
serve tho Lord and cease to bow the knee
to Baal or eat the offerings of the dead.
Pray that we may always be kept in
Gods eve and under his direction and
correction, that He may guide us as a
community, as q State, as a Nation, in
the path he would have us to tread. Pray
that tho dreadful edict which went out
against Ephraim, may never 60 out
against us. "Ephraim is joined to his
idols, let him Alone" Forsaken by God,
how awful would be our condition.
Rather let us beseech him to be our God,
until death. Let us love him and feal
him and keep his commandments, and
so our paths will shine brighter and
brighter unto the perfect day of Gods
everlasting glory.

Cooling off suddenly when heated

Cooling off suddenly when heated
sends many of III farmers youth to
all early tomb. It is often a matter of
surprise that so many farmers boys
and girls die of consumption. 1t Is
thought that abundant exercise in the
open air is directly opposed to that dis
ease. So it is, hut Judgment and
knowledge of the laws of health are
essential to preservation Of health un-
der any circumstances. When over
heated cool off slowly-never in q
strong draught Of air. Gentle fan
ming, especially if the face is wet with
cold water, will 0 produce a de-
lightful GOODNESS, which leaves no dis
agreeable results.
To prevent ink damaging metallic
pens, throw into either the inkstand
or bottle in which the ink is kept q
few nails, broken bits of steel pens

not rusted. The corrosive acid con-

In indication.

In regard to the late election for Judge
of the Supreme Court, and the ill-natured
remark of a communication in the Co.
lumbia Register upon the subject, General
McGowan authorizes us to say that any
''suspicions" that he made or attempted
to make any combinations for the office is
utterly unfounded. He regarded the Of
flee of great d~ignity-one neither to be
sought or declined, and he acted on that
idea from the beginning to the end. AT
ter his friends, to whom he left the mat
ter, saw fit to run him for Chief Justice,
he requested them net to present his
famc ct all for the office of Associate.
Neither is it true that the meeting of the
Abbeville Democracy Endorsed Willard.
Precisely the opposite is true. Resolu-
tons were introduced by Mr.. Rookie, ex-
pressing opposition, which doubtless
would have passed, but as the matter had
been left to the delegation in the Legisla-
ture, by request of himself, the mover
kindly withdrew them. A resolution
was afterwards passed indorsing Nc
Gowan for Associate Justice, and express
ing an unwillingness to antagonist the
administration. 1t was not perceived
that 1t was unpatriotic to aspire to an
honorable office, or how it could be prop
erly regarded as antagonism to the adj
ministration. P. II. w.

NICE COMPLIMENT TO GENERAL Nc
GowAN.-The anderson In~telligencer in
speaking Of the election of Chief JUS
tice makes the following mention of Gen.
eral McGowan:
It is but just that we should state that
none of the gentlemen who were voted
for by the Republicans were candidates,
and it il due to General s. MCGOWAN that
the position he occupied and his noble
course in the whole matter should be
generally known. When the race first
began it was determined to run Gen. Nc
Gowan for the position, and numbers OF
the Republicans were willing to vote for
him, so much 50 that had he entered &C.
lively into the canvass no doubt he could
have prevented caucus nomination and
secured his own election. But seeing
and recognizing the paramount import
ance of Democratic organization, he de-
clined to be a candidate unless nomina-
ted by the Democratic caucus, and as
xoon as Governor Hampton made Judge
Willard the administration candidate,
General MCGOWAN declined to allow his
friends to use his name for the position at
all, Throughout the entire affair his
course has been that Of the patriot and
heightened gentlemen he has always
shown himself" .
