A YeOnlanry.

BY this term I mean that class Of
white citizens generally known as small
farmers-men who hired negro labor
worked farms of fifty, hundred or two
hundred acres; if they own the farms
they till, SO much the better. There are
many such in tie South, but their mum.
bers should be, and, with well-directed
efforts could be increased tenfold. Injured
to work with spade and plow from boy
hood, they do not play the gentleman
farmer but take their place in the field
with their hired negroes, and not only
see them do their work, but set them an
example. They do not aspire to be
planters; they do not deal in futures
and try to make fortunes by speculation
they are simply farmers who make the
earth yield her increase for the support
of their families They are not rich nor
are they in haste to bo rich; but they
are wel.to, and their thrift and frugality
keep them out of debt and thus inde'
pendent. Perhaps the most prosperous
country in South Carolina owes its pros
perity to the unusually large number of
such small farmers within its borders
yeomanry to be proud of-such yeo'
mapry as to my thinking, the Southern
States need above all things else.
1t was just such yeomanry that
about the second quarter Of last century
came into the Piedmont region of the
Carolinas and Georgia; Irish and German
settlers moving from Pennsylvania;
Scotch. and Scotch settlers from
tide. water Virginia; hardy race of
lrontiersmen who hewed their way south
ward through dense forests aud braved
the tomahawk and bullet of the dusky
savage at every step; an intelligent race
of pioneers who built church where
ever they erected fort and planted
school wherever they planted crop.
These were they who reclaimed the
Piedmont country from nature and the
savage native aud wlr'se descendants bid
fair to make il the most prosperous aud
populous part of the Southern States.

Cotton Seed Thousands of Years Old.

Senator Brown and Hon. S. S. Cox are
warm personal friends and occasional
correspondents. The other day the min
lister to Turkey, who is now taking his
vacation in Egypt, wrote very interest
ing letter to the Georgia Senator. Near
the ruins of IT. hes Mr.. Cox and his
wife, guided by the celebrated ach@olog-
list. Maspero, investigated a newly
opened tomb of an agriculturist who
died 1000 years ago. The mummy was
found in excellent preservation, and the
painted symbols on the wall were as fresh
as the flowers of May. Among the OBJ
iects long buried with this farmer was
twig of cotton in bloom, which was as
perfect as if just wrested from the field.
Alongside the aeecy boil, Mrs. Cox had

An InhexibIe Juror.

"There are some Internally obstinate
men in this world" said Frank Funai
the other day, "but struck eleven Of
the worst specimens last week I ever
came across"
Chow was that 2"
"Why, you see, 1 was on the jury. In
one case I'd no sooner laid my eyes on
the prisoner than made up my mind he
was guilty, and the testimony only served
to strengthen that opinion. To my sur
prise, found, when we went out, that
the other eleven jurors were unanimous
in favor of acquittal"
"And of course you gave in."
"Not much 1 had a duty to society
which I had sworn to perform, and I de-
termined to do it if it took all night. I
reasoned with them calmly, tearfully,
prayerfully, but it was no use."
"How did you bring them around ?"
"Finally 1 said: We'll, my mind is
made up. When you fellows get over
your dashed obstinacy wake me up
And just tipped my chair back and set
tied myself down for a good nap. Then
I snored. Ever hear me snore ?"
We all expressed regret because we
had never enjoyed that pleasure.
"Neither had those fellows. In ten
minutes they were wild. Some Of them
wanted to jump out of the window, but
couldn't get it open. In ten minutes
more eight of them gave in, and in if
teen minutes they walked me up and said

judge promptly granted the prisoner a
new trial on the ground that the verdict
was against the evidence and common
sense, and discharged the jury for the
term. That lets me off jury duty for an
other year."

at a certain battle of the late war, a
Federal Chaplain happened to get into
the vicinity Of a battery of artillery
which was hotIy engaged. The Confed-
crate shells were ploughing burrows about
the guns, and the cannoncers were grimly
and actively at work to answer shot for

Cotton Seed for Fattening Hogs.

L. NJ, of Georgia, has fed cotton seed
to pigs, with small amount of corn
meal-thc cotton seed being cooked and
tue corn meal stirred in after the cotton
seed had been boiling half an hour, and
after boiling another half hour it was
allowed to stand for some hours before
being fed. When fed three pounds of
cotton seed and two pounds Of corn meal
each, the pigs gained very rapidly-a
dozen pigs gained an average of two
pounds each per day. He says cotton
seed is not one. half as valuable as corn
as hog food, and yet when fed in this
way with corn meal the grain was more
than with twice the weight of corn alone.

sorts of external applications, some of
them being poisonous.
All females love to look pretty which
gentlemen do not object to) and smooth,
soft, clear complexion adds greatly to
female charms.
The use of B. 3. B. will purify your
blood, will remove blotches, splotches

Rheumatism.
One author says: "Rhumatism is due
to the presence in the blood of vegeta.
BILE organism of definite characters"
Another says: "It is due to the pres
ence Of poison in the blood which is of
the nature of a miasm."
The disease having its origin in the
blood, it IS reasonable to oppose that it
must be cured by remed es directed to
the blood. A successful remedy must
produce certain changes in the compost
tion of the blood, and whel this has been
accomplished, all pain, swelling and stiff:
ness of the joints subside.
This accounts for the reason why ex.
tcrnal applications fail to produce perma-
nent relief. But we now have the rene.
dy which acts like magic in giving relief
to all forms of rheumatism, rheumatic
gout, rheumatism of the joints, muscles
and heart 1t also cures syphilitic and
mercurial pains and rheumatism in an
incredibly short time. The fact cannot
be denied that B. B. B. Botanic Blood
Balm) has proven itself to be the most
speedy and wonderful remedy for all
forms of rheumatism ever before known.
Men with two crutches, and hobbling
along with stiffened and painful joints,
withered flesh, loss of sleep and appetite,
are cured by the use of B. B. B. Cast
aside all other remedies, use B. B. B. and
you will soon have no use for crutches.

Several members of Pulaski
Lodge, f. A. NJ, accompanied by
some of their families went out
to Blooming Grove Church four
miles east of town last Thursday
by invitation, to meet the Brad
shaw lodge, and celebrate st. Johns
day. The exercises were opened
with music by the choir. After
which Capt. j. r. Grove, S. w. of
Pulaski Lodge, and Capt. j. G. Les
ter made short addresses, aPpropri-
ate to the occasion. They were
followed by the recitation of a
beautiful Masonic poem by Miss
Mabel Buford of Pulaski. Every
one regretted that Mr.. James Nc
Callum of Bradshaw was unable to
be present on account of i'll health.
However a letter was received from
him, in which he expressed his re-
grets, and spoke highly of the so
cial gatherings of the order. At
noon they repaired to a shady
grove where q sumptuous dinner
had been spread by the ladies. In
the afternoon speeches were made
by Rev. Mr.. Ashford aud DIR. Har-

the evening was spent in social
conversation. We regret that

Weary of Life.

Dave Alternately, a colored mar
on Capt. Wade's farm, attempted tc
com nit suicide by hanging last
Saturday week. Sidney Brannqn,
another colored man accidently dis.
covered him just as he was about
to take his last leap with a pillow
line tied around his neck and 10 the
limb of a tree. The proposed corpse
is muscular representative of the
g. o. p, weighing over 200 pounds,
and.t sable brother who found
him did not care to resort to VIC
mnce to avert the impending trags-
dy. He succeeded, however, in
persuading the Respondent brother
that life is worth living, and es-
corted him to his friends in a field
near by. The cause of the desper-
ate step is supposed to be trouble
resulting from some recent un-
pleasant developments concerning
the moral and physical condition
of daughter TO whom he was
much attached.

Columbia. District

In few days we will begin the
fourth round of quarterly confer
ences. 1t will be the closing work
-officially-of the present confer
ence year. The brethren will be
agreeably surprised at the increased
attendance of official boards, yet
there is great room for improve
ment. 1 hope to meet every official
on this round. Certainly no local
preacher will fail to be present
with written report of his work.
1t is necessary in order to the pas
sage of his character, and if unOr-
dained, to the renewal of his IL
cense. Pastors will please consider
well the fitness of men before put
ting them in nomination for places
of responsibility in the church of
God. Please see the brethren you
choose beforehand and know if they
will accept and endeavor to fill those
places if elected. Stewards should
be religious, intelligent, liberal.
For lack of these qualifications in
her stewardship, the church of God
has suffered. The present boards of
stewards, whether they wish to be
continued or discontinued ought to
be faithful this year. Do by your
pastors, brethren, as you would
have your pastors do by you, condi-
tions reversed, then the salary
will come. The twenty-fourth
question must be answered. Let
every pastor see to it that there IS
readiness and accuracy. True there
may be changes to meke at the an
nual conference, then again there
may not, and the pastor may not be
present, and the conference may de-
pend entirely on the records of the
fourth quarterly conference. You
may have money subscribed and
not paid, and you may have pros
pect of larger collections, but "what
has been paid?" This is very nee
essary to be answered, though the
figures may be changed by later
collections. All applicants for IL
cense to preach or exhort as well as
all applicants Tor recommendations
for deacons or elders orders, or adj
mission into the travelling connec-
tion would do well to consult their
discipline and pastor in time before
making their application. The
quarterly conference is not the
place to organize boards of trus-
trees or write out reports. 1t IS ex-
pected that the chairman of each
board of trustees of church proper
ty will have his report ready and
that it will give the condition value
and Indebtedness of the property
held in trust by them. l make
these suggestions to promote accu-
racy and efficiency, and to avoid
tedIousness.
To the membership: Without
your hearty cooperation the Off
Gals who represent you in The
church of God cannot accomplish
anything. Their reports are bu
expressions of your sympathy will
and support of the institutions o
the church. If you withhold (
generous support from the churcl
it suffers in your community and il
your family. If you measure up II
the demands upon you and the higl
privileges you enjoy in tn
church, God will be honored, yol
will be happy and Columbia distric
greatly blessed.
