ROBERT BURNS.
A Poem That Makes His Name Immortal

This ia the 130th anniversary OF th,
birth Of Robert Burns, the gifted
Scottish poet, who was born near the
town Of Ayr, on January 25th, 1859.
He wrote much that the world viii
not willingly let die. and to our way
of thinking his chief credit is in dar.
ing to express the thoughts he did in
the age in which he lived.
In our times, and in this land oi
the free, where one man is as good as
another, and all have equal rights and
privileges, we can hardly understand
the courage and the int-epidity thai
filed the mind Of the gifted Burns
when he dared cast to the winds bis
fear of being crushed by the hatred
of the aristocracy and gave free ex.
preston to his fine sense of mans
rightful place in the glowing words
of that grand poem:
MAN's MAN FOB A. THAT
Is there, for honest p-verty,
That hangs his head, and a. that?
The coward slave, we pass him by.
We dare be poor for a thatl
For a. that and a. that;
The rank is but the guinea-stamp,
The mans the gowd for a. thatl
What though on namely fare we dine,
Wear holden gray, and a. that;
Gle fools their silks, and knaves their
wine,
A mans a. man for a. thatl
For a that and a. that,
Their tinsel show, and a. that;
The honest man, though e'er sac poor,
Is king O. men for a. thatl
Ye see yon birkie, cad lord,
VIVA struts, and stares, and a. that;
Though hundreds worship at his word,
He's but coof for a. that;
For ~ that and a that,
His riband star, and a that;
The man of independent mind,
Looks and laughs at a. thati
A king can max belted knight.
A marquis. duke and a. that;
But an honest mans aboon his might,
Guild faith he mauns IA that!
For a. that and a that,
Their dignities and a. that,
The pith O. sense, and pride O. worth
Are higher rank than a. that.
Then let US pray that como it may
As come it will for a. that
That sense and worth, DER a. the earth,
May bear the gree. and a. that;
For a. that and a. that,
It's comm yet, for a. that,
That man to man, the warld DER,
Shall brothers be for a. that!
To be able thus to express in
homely phrase the above, which
found affirmative echo in the hearts
OF millions, was one of the strongest
attributes Of Burns genius.
To SO express his feelings a Gen.
tury ago, surrounded as he was by
those twin jsilers of the daring heart,
low birth and iron fortune, betok-
ened sublime courage.
Burns life was a sad one, more ro-
mantle than satisfactory, more inter.
estlng than prosperous. He died at
the age OF 81. On each anniversary
Of his birth his name and fame are
remembered in the hearts of thou.
sands Of his countrymen and others
who take pleasure in the mental
coinage Of his great heart and bril-
liant hraiD

4 AHUNDRED TONS OF MONEY

It hardly seems possible that the money
paid in one month for a ten-cent article,
could, if pennies were used in payment
weigh one hundred tons. Yet one of our
bright school boys has figured that this is
true of Diamond Dyes TO judge from the
stocks OF our dealers in dye stufs, Diamond
Dyes own the field OF package dyes, and are
a com plete success. Of course they have
imitators. Nothing is a success until I'M
itated' But no one wants to risk a coun-
terfeit when the genuine can be obtained al
the same price Three new colors have
lately been added to the list of Diamond
Dyes: Fast Stocking Black, Turkey Red
for Cotton, and Brown for Cotton. The
manufacturers, Wells, Richardson d Co.,
Burlington, VT, will send colored samples
of these new dyes, with book Of directions,
to any address, free Of charge. These adj
ditions seem to have made the line so COM
rlete that any shade can be matched with
some color OF Diamond Dyes. The beauti-
fuI sample book of shaded colors, lately
sent to all dealerssin dyes, will delight the
eve OF any lady ''1t's easy 70 dye with

an3s OF ladies are now saying that th!S IS

Not Killed.

We stated last week that hr. Fur
man Jenkinson, of Pamela, had been
attacked about sunset, in the woods
near his home, by big negro, who
threw him down, with the intent OF
robbery or murder, or possibly Of
both, and that young Jenkinson had
succeeded in throwing off the negro,
and had cut him on the shoulder with
a razor, upon which the negro beat a
precipitate retreat. So much Of it
was true. But last Tuesday rumor
reached town that the negro had been
found dead in tie woods, the next
morning after the cutting. We
stated the rumor, but at the same
time said we would rot vouch
for its correctness. We have
since been informed that no dead ne
gro bas been discovered in that neigh
bcrhood. It is presumed tie cut was
not fatal, and the negro has escaped.
It was narrow and fortunate escape
for Mr.. Jenkinson.

COTTON AND CORN.
Better to Plant Germ, EEt the Farmers
VIII Stick TO Cotton.

Wilson's, March 1S.-I notice in q
recent issue of the TINES your article
giving rs farmers some good advice.
endorse every word in that paper.
You ought to let that matter come out
every week: it is so good and true
that it will bear many repetitions.
But now, Mr.. Editor, will we prac-
tice it? Won't we jog along in those
same old ruts: all cotton, no corn, no
meat? Oh, but don't we love cotton!
You bet he's king. It would be all
right if we did not require the king
to dc so much. He fills bis own place
to a 7, but the trouble is we not only
require him to clothe us, but we want
him to feed us. He cant do it; it's
TOO much Of one article. Now the
king will object if we impose on him.
But we should have more consldera-
ton for him, and help him all we can;
and there are so many ways we can
take this responsibility away from
him.
Well, let us name a few: Plant
corn, work it as we'll as We do cotton,
don't neglect it, deal fairly with it,
and it will do much for us, Fact is,
if we do right by him, lie will give us
meat as well as bread. Let us not
forget the potato crop, the lice, the
pea, and the sugar cane. II we will
give attention to this we will soon
quit eating our cotton up before it's
planted.
But my neighbor ought to do these,
but as for me must make cotton II
the heavens fall. j.

Co!ored Presbyterians in Council

Wednesday, the 18th was the beginning
of new era in the history of Presbyterian
ism in Manning, and We might say in the
county of Clarendon. Although during the
past fifteen years many colored Presbyteri-
an churches have been organized and min
istered to in the neighboring counties, yet
there were no churches organized in Clar-
endon until few years ago. Three differ
ent ministers attempted to build in Man
ming, one staying here as long as three
years. Every effort however. seemed to
prove failure until the present pastor Rev.
4. E. florence came. He has, since a short
STAY here, been instrumental in building q
church valued at about (or will be when
6nished) fifteen hundred dollars. The
Presbytery Of Fairfield at its last meeting
choose NJ. Carmel church. Manning, S. c.,
for the next place of meeting. On the night
of the l3st Fairfield Presbytery opened its
session. Rev. II. G. Johnson, of Columbia,
preached the sermon. The text selected
was "Render unto God the things that belong
to God" The sermon was good model,
showing from It's clear divisions, simple
words, and logical consistency, what pow
er the colored man is for GOD and the good
of his people when mis- talents ere improved
and used in the right way. Despite the
rain which fell in heavy showers there was
large audience each day, and q large
amount of business was dispatched There
were popular meetings each night: Thurs
day night, woman's work; Friday night,
missions. Each Of these topics we're ably
discussed by three speakers each night.
Friday mornings opening session
brought about much anxiety on the part of
many, for 1t was at this session that one
was to be konored by the Presbytery as a
delegate to the Northern General Assembly,
which meets in New York city. Although
there were many seeming aspirants our
Manning parson Rev. a. L. Terrence was
chosen by large vote the Presbytery ad-
iourned to meet at Winnsboro, 13tE of Sept.
The Lords supper was celebrated on Sab
bath. The sermon was preached by Rev.
James Rainey, of Rock Hill.
