CAPITAL ADVICE. -Chas. Kingsley
well said Never hurt any ones self
respect. Never trample OH any soul,
though it may be lying in the veriest
mire, for the last spark of self-respect
is its only hope, its only chance; the
last seed of a new and better life; the
voice of God, which still whispers to
it., You are not what you can be.
You are still Gods child, still an i'm,
mortal soul. You may rise yet and
conquer yet, and be man yet, after
the likeness of God who made you,
and Christ who died for YOU ON,
why crush that voice in any Eeart
If you do, the poor creature is lost, and
lies where he or she falls, and never
tries to rise again."
The too-prevalent disregard of the
spirit of obligations, and the readiness
to press technical advantages in busi-
ness, litigation, and legislation, are
among the signs of the times that grieve
good men. Let the pulpit, the press
and the bench blister such sheltered
rascality.
A delicate and flexible demeanor is
a prominent trait in polished life
The hostility of the truly great is al
WAYS marked by courteous generosity,
while melidocrity is perpetually envi-
Gus toward original minds and mag
unanimous thoughts.

Extracts from LOWndesville Advertiser
District Conference.

The Cokesbury District Conference
for 1883 convened at Abbeville July
10, at 9 A. NJ, Bishop W. w. Duncan
in the Chair. The opening sermon
was preached by Rev. J. L. Stokes.
All the financial, educational and
spiritual interests of the church were
carefully canvassed and, Judging from
the reports, it would seem that Meth
odism within the bounds of the Cokes-
bury District is OH rising ground.
Quite a full delegation of both
preachers and laymen were in attend
ance and the presiding Bishop gave all
diligence to awaken within them the
Importance of close and thorough
work in all the various departments OF
the church.
DR.. A. Coke Smith, of Wofford Col
lege, Prof. Rembert, of Woftord Fit
ting School, and Col. Clinkscales, OF
Columbia Female College, were pres
ent and represented these institutions
as essential factors in the Christian
civilization of our State and as OF
special interest to the Methodism OF
the State.
1t is to be hoped the members of the
Conference went home more deeply
impressed with the importance of
Christian education, and with the de-
termination to do all in their power to
increase the zeal of the people in this
all-important work. The day has
come when the neglect of Christian ed
ucation means to defraud the rising
generations and restrict the possibili-
ties and the blissful realiZations of our
offspring.
Rev. w. D. Kirkland, editor of the
Southern Christian Advocate, and
Rev. It. H. Law, of the American
Bible Society, were present, and pre-
sented the causes they represent.
The preaching of the occasion was
impressive and instructive, and, espe-
cially that of the Bishop and DR..
Smith.
The people of AbbevilIe, who are
notorious for their hospitality and
kindness, gave the Conference a
handsome entertainment, and after
all the business was transacted, and
thanks returned, all took their depart
ure, carrying with them pleasant
recollections and, we trust, the in
spiration of the occasion.

Vote IntelIigentIy.

We are approaching the 4th of Au-
gust at which time we expect q crowd
of candidates and citizens to visit our
town, and we hope to enjoy the pleas
ure of meeting many with whom we
are not at present acquainted. In be-
half of the citizens of Lowndesville,
we extend to all hearty welcome.
We think it nothing but fair and prop
er, however, upon that occasion, to
interrogate the candidates for the
Legislature, as to how they stand
upon certain political questions, and
we doubt not but the candidates will
be willing to unbosom themselves as
to how they stand on these mooted
questions.
If any man is so narrow and
Strengthened as to finch at this
point, then it is we'll enough for our
people to know it, and that he be left
at home. Abbeville, County has al
ready determined for herself the ques-
tion Of prohibition, and next January
our County becomes dry by the voice
of the people, but we think it a duty
we owe our sister counties, to ask the
candidates of Abbeville county that
should one or more of them petition
to the Legislature for local option, how
would they vote?
If any candidate objects to commit
ting himself at this point, as citizens
of common country with mutual in
terests, we have right to oppose his
election, and it behooves us rs lovers
of our country to do so.
This should be no matter of personal
like or dislike or complimentary to-
kens of friendship, but it should be
with every citizen matter Of princi-
pie, upon which rests the most vital
interest of our homes and tiresides,
and of our religion and civilization.
We hope our people will think of
this matter, and seize their opportun-
ity.
