Trouble is brewing in Orangeburg
County. The Times and Democrot
says: From different sections OF
the County we hear that the negroes
are actively engaged in holding meet.
ings and firing up all the hatred Of
the colored people against the whites.
We understand that in some sections
of the County they say that they do
not intend to regard the election law
at all, but propose to break up the
eight boxes and hold the election in
the old way. We suppose they are
acting under advice from headquar.
ters and that they mean what they
say; but we are satisfied that if they
attempt to carry out their threat
somebody is going to get into trouble
and We advise them not to forget it.

wANTED--A LITTLE GIRL.
ELLA WHEELER.

Where have they gone to-the little girls,
With natural manners and natural curls?
Who love their dollies and like their toys,
And talk of something besides the boys
Little old women in plenty find,
Mature in manners and old of mind;
Little old .fiirts who talk of their "beaux"
And vie with each other in stylish
clothes.
Little old bellies, who, at nine and ten,
Are sick of pleasure and tired OF men,
Weary of travel, of balls, of fun
And find no new thing under the sun.
Once, in the beautiful long ago,
Some dear little children used to know;
Girls who were merry as lambs at play,
And laughed and rOllicsed the livelong
They thought not at all Of the "style' of
their clothes,
They never imagined that boys were
"Other girls brothers and "mates"
were they;
Splendid fellows to help them play.
Where have they gone to (? If you see
One of them, anywhere, send her to me.
I would give medal of purest gold
To one Of those dear little girls of old
With an innocent heart and an open
smile,
Who knows not tho meaning Of "flirt"
or "style."

EXonereIur,

Professor Woodrow. an able and
distinguished divine and one Of the
lecturers of the Presbyterian Theo
logical Seminary at Columbia, de J
llyered an address on evolution la,g
summer in which certain propositio IS
were advanced that were thought
many to verge on the heterodox. 14
was rumored that the latitude of his;
opinions had given grave offence to|
the stricter theologians and that he|
would probably be requested to retire
from the chair which he filled in thd|
Seminary. Last week the board Of
directors Of the Seminary had meet /
ing at which Prof. Woodrow's lecturd !
was considered. After prolonged
debate the following paper waE
adopted:

3 81 scste ol territorial pupilage until
such time as che shall present a State
constitution, distinctly prohibatory
OF this polygamous enormity. In
the meanwhile let the most prudent
men be appointed to official position
men wise IN counsel, firm IN purpose
and in fnll sympathy with the Chris
tian sentiment Of the age. As far as
practicable, let there be stringent
enforcement of tHe laws against poly
gamy. In order to insure thia, let
every practical polygamist be dis
qualified as Judge or Juror and such
other disquanfcations imposed as
discriminate between the theoretical
! and practical polygamist. There are
a variety of considerations that'com
NJ end this expectant treatment rather
than harsher treatment to the &C.
'ceptance of the government. There
is in the bosom OF the Mormon Church
/ itself wide diversity of opinion in
reference to this nideous vice. A
minority, respectable for numbers
and even for influence, deny that
their founder ever sanctioned the in
PRODUCTION OF 'ygamy into their
creed. They 4nslst that Brigham
Young is mainly responsible for its
existence. They allege that the pre-
tended special revelation of 1915,
was palpable forgery-an ingenious
afterthought of Young to vindicate
his own beastly sensualism. For the
present these malcontents are claseed
as apostate Mormons, but they serve
admirably well as the nucleus OF an
opposition that is yet destined to be-
come formidable. This protest will
be materially strengthened by the
steady growth of the Christian popu
latlon already equal to twenty per
cent. Of the aggregate. AS the mat
ter now stands the members OF the
hierarchy and their satellites are
the chief offenders, and the great
body of the Mormons will refrain
more and more from it's practice for
reasons of economy, if not from higher
motives. In this way. without re-
sorting to policy th> would per-
manently ahenate the Mormon mass'
es-the wished for contamination
may he reached.
Naturally growing out Of this dis
cusaion, the writet with force and un-
questionable pertinency touches, in
conclusion, upon the divorce laws oil
the States in the Union, claiming that
they are a reproach to Christianity
and in some respects no les demor-
alizing than polygamy, "As long as
marriage he says, "is regarded as
mere civil contract, we may expect
that lax views will obtain in legislat-
ures and courts. We might not &C.
rept the theory OF the Catholic Churcn
as to the sacramental character OF
marriage, but we are little inclined to
endorse the extreme reaction. OF Fro
testantism, which, in our estimation,
is hardly less Objectionable. The one
is an error of excess, the other OF de.
feet. No marriage should be deemed
valid that is not suitably solemized by
an officiating magistrate or minister
and also properly registered. More
over, the press and pulpit should urge
upon the legislative department the
repeal of these obnoxious laws. and
upon the judicial department the ne
cesslty Of greater caution in disrupt
ing this sacred relationship.
Both these subjects are of supreme
importance, and must commend them

Bishop Coke, Of Western New
York, says that during his twenty
years Of observation in that field
there have been some improvements
in religion and morality, but The in.
crease of impiety and inGdelity is,
on the whole, appalling. "The most
blasphe!nous publications are circu'
lated, frlghtful atheism ie uttered
and gross licentiousness abounds.
The modern evolution of man is not
therefore from the ape but toward
the monkey and the goat.
