Do observe. The faculty of obser-

Do try and be sensible. It is not a
particular sign OF superiority to talk
like fool.
Do be ready in time for church. If
you do not respect yourself sufficient

OF other people.
Do avoid causes of irritation in
your family circle; reflect that home is
the place to be agreeable.
DO be reticent; the world at large
has no interest in your private affairs.
Do cultivate the habit OF listening to
others; it will make you an invaluable
member of society, to say nothing OF
advantages it will be to you when you
marry; every man wants to talk
about himself; a good listener makes
delightful wife.
Do be contented; martyrs are de-

you like a sunny atmosphere.
Do avoid whispering; it is as bad as
gigeling. Both are to be condemned;
there is no excuse for either one OF

Weeds are most easily killed when
small the smaller the better. Butall
cultivators Of the soil should have one
rule, which should never be violateds
Never allow a weed to 90 to seed on
the premises. Frequently an idle
patch ofground, if 1t be only one
fourth Of an acre, will raise enough to
seed the whole farm, and have enough
left to supply the neighbors. Keep all
of the ground in use, either in grass,
or under close cultivation. There is
many a farmer this year who has foul
fields, caused by leasing it to a care
less and slovenly renter. Or more
probably, he is sloven himself, and
his farm has been growing more foul
for several years, until he nor any one
else can raise paying crops. It must
be redeemed, or the owner will go to
insolvency, and the land become
worthless-eaten up and poisoned by
weeds. The farmers prosperity de-
ponds upon his constant war upon
weeds, and never let any go to seed.
Refundirg for Farmers.
In view Of the extremely low price
OF agricultural products the owner OF
alarm who puts q new mortgage on
it for any ordinary purpose is very
rash. He may have good reason to
believe that OUTLAWS in barns, machin-
cry, or other Improvements would be
q great convenience and considerably
increase the productive capacity OF
his farm, but the hard fact remains
that few farms are now paying more
than small interest on their cost.
and that unless the money which he
might invest in buildings, stock, or
tools added to the yield OF his land
enough to return a fair rate per cent
upon the sum SO expended it would
only increase the difficulty Of making
both ends meet.
In many parts of the west and south
west they are still paying 8 ard 10
per cent on old mortgages amply Sc
cured, and all over the country the
rates OF interest on farm debts are,
in many instances, higher than those
paid by other borrowers who give no
better security. At time when mon
ey is vainly seeking investment in all
financial centers at extremely low
rates OF interest and several issues OF
bonds paying 3 per cent or less are be-
ingeagerly purchased, it is great pity
that such a state OF things should
exist. The query is prompted whether
it is not feasible for farmers to follow
the example OF states, municipalities,
and the United States government and
refund large part Of their indebted.
ness with great advantage to their ii
nancial condition.
Ii he were to borrow money on a
new mortgage he would doubtless
make a diligent effort to get it as
cheap}y as possible, but he goes on
paying the old rate Of interest upon a
mortgage given when the scale ofprices

way OF tightening the burden OF inter

Diet for Nervous People.

New York Commercial Advertiser.
We SO often have to care for nerv ouls
persons that it is we'll to know the
sort OF food best adapted to them.
This, with systematic exercise and rec
reation, will often produce results be-
yond our most sanguine hopes. In
taking exercise, care must be taken
not to fatigue the patient, and there
must be an object in the exercise. It
will not do to send the sufferer out
Gust for a walk" the walk must be
for q purpose; to call on a pleasant
friend, for example, or to perform
some slight Office, such as carrying
flowers or books to the sick, or to
purchase some little article needed
which requires no great outlay OF
thought. For food there should be
given meat in small quantities, plenty
OF fish, especially shell fish, as much
bread and butter as may be desired,
creamed or mashed potatoes and sim
pie buildings. Fruit should play an
important part in the dietary, and
should be eaten before breakfast.
Baked apples, oranges and thorough
ly ripe pears are always relished at
this time. Cocoa should be used as a
beverage instead OF tea or coffee, al
though a cup OF tea at 4 o'clock can
be borne by persons to whom it would
be injurious at any other time. II
milk be liked and be digested easily, it
may be freely used. Many physicians
order it cooked. 1t will usually be
found that soups are not conducive,
and beer and spirits should be avoided.

Combination Of Colors.


Two shades Of blue in Saline makes
a very elegant combination. Satines
have velvet collars and cuffs.
Corduroy plush is a new and very
beautiful fabric, most used for trim
ming purposes; il is in reds, browns
and beautiful shade OF tan color.
Orange and brown is the favorite
combination this season, and very
pretty it is when properly put togeth-
er.
St. Patrick's blueis a favorite shade
of this color, which is very becoming
to all to whom blue is at all becom-
ing.
Striped wooden, with three colors,
say red, brown and blue, are very styl-
ish for summer wear, and are made
very simply.
Bright red will be much worn the
coming season, not only in millinery
but in the costume, but it will need a
varying beauty to carry off a whole
red costume.
Absinthe green is a most charming
and becoming shade, and will be worn
by young ladies the coming season as
trimming for white dresses. A white
lace overdress sprinkled with silver
beads and Topped with bows of absin-
the ribbon makes a most beautiful
combination and is exquisitely fresh.

Our Congressman.

In the Dispatch several issues past,
it was given as rumor that Major
Wm. II. Brawley was mentioned as
probable candidate for Congress from
the First District, so ably and energet-
ically represented by the Hon. Samuel
Dibble. That rumor it seems had a
solid foundation. for it is now admitted
by Major BraWley,s- friends, and 1t IS
said under his recognition, that he will
be candidate In opposition to MT.
Dibble, and has so notified him. 1t is
true, that the Dispatch is in sympathy
with the movement for a new deal, still
it does not favor change Of officials,
when it IS not necessary for good and
sufficient reasons. Major Brawley is a
most courteous gentlemen, able lawyer,
and invaluable citizen, and would make
most excellent congressman, because
of his thorough acquaintance with
public details, and his admitted healthy
patriotism. Thesestriking qualifications
f.however, cannot make his candidacy
strong one with a large number Of citi-
Zens, or capture the support of suffici-
ent number of followers to warrant the
belief that his candidacy will be sue
cessful. The reasons are, that Mr..
Dibble has proven an able and active
member of Congress, and has not been
found wanting in any public duty that
he knew to be his, or was brought to
his attention by any one of his consti-
tuents. There is, therefore, in the
judgment of the dispastionate citizen
no substantial cause to displace rep
resentative known and proved to be
good and efficient, merely to expert
ment with new man, or to gratify a
whim of few people, however worthy
and excellent they may be. Mr.. Dib-
bic richly deserves the consideration of
the people of this city, and of this en-
tire district, and indeed of the whole
State; for there is no portion of the
people he has not willingly and at all
times served to the best of his appre-
hension of their wants. The city of
Charleston is especially indebted to him
for the liveliest interest in all that has
effected her welfare since he has been
her representative. 1t needed but an in
timation from IN individual or public
body, to receive his aid in formulating
or executing any project of public good.
He is a true and faithful public
servant, and richly deserves the well
done of his constituency; and as far us
lies in the power and influence Of the
Dispatch, he shall most assnredly get
what he merits.-Charleston Dispatch.

The New Bishops.

The General Conference of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church South, in
session at Richmond. last week elected
the following Bishops: The Rev. DR..
VIM. Wallace Duncan, the Rev. DR.:
Charles B. Galloway, the Rev. DR.. Eu-
gene Russell Hendrix and the Rev.
DR.. Joseph Stanton Key. twill
afford -the-highest qualification to
the the bfethodists of our State to see
that it has been honored in the
selection of one of their ablest. most
eloquent and most beloved. ministers
to the office of Bishop, in the'person of
Rev. VIM. Wallace Duncan, D. D. The
distinguished honor could have fallen
upon none more worthy 20 wear
the responsible robe of that office.
Bishop Duncan, we believe, was born
in Virginia, from which State he came
in youth with his distinguished father,
when the latter came to take profes-
sorship in Wofford College, Spartan
burg, which he filled with so much dis
tinction to the day of his death. Bishop
Duncan also filled chair in the same
institute for many years, and for sew
eral years past has been the efficient
and successful agent OF the College,
and by his eloquent appeals in its be-
half has done much to place it upon q
sure financial foundation. He is re-
cognized as one of the most progressive
and eloquent preachers of the South,
and his indomitable energy will intro
duce an infusion of vigor into the
College of Bishops, which will aid it to
meet the demands which the rapidly
expanding interests of the church need
at this time. The newly elected Bishop
is the brother of Colonel D. r. Duncan
of Spartanburg, and of Colonel D. P.
Duncan, President of the State Agri-
cultural Society and Railroad Commis-
SiOner.

Another Job SUuelched.

In the house on Thursday the bill to
appropriate S80G000 for subsidies to
American steamship lines, already
passsd in the senate was defeated in the
committee of the whole by fifty-six
majority. The announcement Of this
vote elected round after round of ap-
plause from the opponents Of the
amendment and evidently ratified its
friends. When they came to the vote
in the house many of them changed
and the vote showed nearly eighty
majority against the amendment. This
caused another burst OF applause,
Twenty-four republicans voted against
the amendment, more than twice as
many as were expected to do so. On
the other hand the number of Demo
Gratis supporting the amendment was
unexpectedly small. Georgia voted
solidly against it. The only votes it
received from the South were those Of
Tillman and Small, Of South Carolina,
Blanchard and Gay, OF Louisiana. We
are glad that the Democratic House
squelched this Republican Senate job.

Obituary..

Died suddenly, in orangeburg County,

the seventy-ninth year of his age. In early
life he gave himself to Christ, joined
Antioch Baptist Church, and was baptized
by Rev. Thomas Adams, shortly after
wards he joined the -Four Holes Baptist
Church, and remained an active member
thereof for many years. He united with
others in constituting Walnut Grove Bap-
tist Church, and remained q consistent and
useful member of said church until his
death. As deacon for many years, he
discharged his duties faithfully. All who
knew him respected and esteemed him for
his many virtues. AS a citizen, neighbor
and friend, galaxy of amiable qualities
cluster around his character. Ever ready
to discharge the duties of life promptly and
faithfully-kind, benevolent and sincere,
admired for his integrity. In his domestic
relations, he possessed many eXcellencieS
worthy of imitation, devoted husband
and an indulgent parent. AS professor
of religion, humble, sincere and deVout..
For MANY years he was an active member
of the Charleston Baptist Association, and
took deep interestin its deliberations; ever
Jealous for the advancement of Christ S
Kingdom, and for his own growth in piety.
He lived to see many of his children occu-
plying prominent positions in the church;
beloved for their zeal and usefulness.
In his death, Walnut Grove Church has
lost an exemplary member, and the COM
munity a bright Christian light. He has
passed away, leaving a record without a
stain. Another sheaf has been gathered
into Gods great garner, for he was truly y
ripe for the harvest, He has gone to rest.
He has left a devoted wife, many children
and friends to mourn their irreparable loss.
May God sustain and comfort them in their
bereavement. "Blessed are the dead, who

liar, EX-United States Senator D. r..
Patterson, of Tennessee, and son-in-law
of eX-President Johnson, was on Thurs
day appointed postmaster of Home,
Green County, Tennessee. The place
is worth $40 per year. Ex-senator
Patterson was recommended by Senator
Witthorne, who was clerk in the post
Office department when MIR. Patterson
was in the senate. Thus, an ex-postal

mends an ex-senator for a postal place

crown refused to listen to General Cor
don and forced him to take his seat by

themselves without any outside help

we would warn it that it is on the
