Dwells the raptured ones above;
Far beyond our feeble sight,
Happy in lmmanuel's love;
Pilgrims in this vale of tears,

Gloomy doubts, distressing fears,
Torturing pain and heavy woe.
All is tranquil and serene,
Balm and undisposed repoSe:
There no clouds can intervene,
There no angry tempest blows,
Every tear is wiped away:
Signs no more shall heaye the brcst:
Night is lost in endless day,
Sorrow in eternal rest. MAX.

They s'Labored', With Him.

In conversation the other day an old

the mainstay of the domestic economy.
Notwithstanding the universality of whis.

more rigid in disciplining their members
for drunkenness than they are now.
Among those whose membership was at
Shoal Greek church was Judge Il, and
in an unguarded moment he took "too
much" and was seen drunk. The next
conference promptly appointed commit.

consisted Of Judge P and Judge

mittee went over to visit the offender who
gave them q hearty welcome, and all took
a good old social drink which was oft re.
peated during their lengthy stay. They
ali got on a regular "razzee," and the
committee forgot the object Of their visit.
The next conference called for report on
the case, when one Of the gentlemen arose
and said that they had labored with the
brother and were satisfied. Judge Il,
who was present this time, made his state.

What is Said in Washington,

WASHINGTON, June 30.-South Caro-.
linians here are amazed at the verdict
in the Mellow case. 1t will not satisfy
justice.loying citizens to draw the color
line and assert that the remarkable YER
dict was due to the presence of seven
colored men in the jury box. There
were FIVE white men on the jury. What
ofthem? They cannot escape condemna.
tion for the part they played in the dis.
graceful farce. An editorial in the New
York World of to-day about expresses
the general sentiment here. Itsays:
"The trial leaves no doubt in any hon.
est mind, however, as to the real nature
of the crime. Mellow justly adjudged
himself guilty when he tried, for some
hours alter the killing, to obliterate the
evidence and make away with the body
of his victim. That was the act of a man
conscious that a murderous purpose had
prompted his murderous deed, that
q murderous spirit still remained in
bis heart. Yet this man is acquitted
and is heuceforth subject to no punish.
ment except such as the loathipg and
contempt of all honorable men can
infict. He, married man and father,
deliberately sought to degrade and des.
troy defenceless girl, following her for
that purpose even into her employers $
house, which he enters like sneak thief.
When the girls employer with chivalric
impulse and high sense Of duty sought
to save her, Mellow shot him to death
from behind, and then tried to bury the
body under the floor Of a closet. That is
the story. II does not present state Of
facts which ought to have led to an &C.
quittal. It is.a sad commentary upon
Southern justice, and fresh blot upon
the State of South Carolina, which per-
mits its foremost and most useful citizen
to be slain like dog without making
even an honest effort to punish his
slayer"

Rocked BY Mother Earth.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 26.-SusanvilIe,
the seat of Lassen County, far up in the
Sierras and remote from railways and
telegraph, has been having lively time
for the last week with earthquakes. On
the 18th occurred the heaviest shock ever
felt there, and ever since then no less
than seventy FIVE distinct shocks have
been felt.
The local paper thus describes the first
day, with its terrors
''The frat great shock was followed at
intervals by more or less heavy shocks for
over two hours, tilsevepty. eightsh
had been recorded, of which the first,
thirteenth, fifteenth and the eighteenth
were very severe. At the first shock.
which was something fearful, rocking
buildings from side to side and scattering
crockery and glassware-people rushed
out of houses in whatever clothes they
happened to be. One man ran into the
street with his pantaloons in his hands.
Main street Was crowded in an instant,
and people were afraid to return to bed
until far in the morning. When shock
would come the crowd would yell and run
for the middle of the street.
'"rhe vibrations were from South to
North: The shocks were generally pre-
ceded by distinct rumbling noises"

A White Mans Government.

WASHINGTON, June 90.-E. a. Web.
ster has gone home. having grown weary
of waiting for Secretary Windor, and the
President to determine who shall succeed
Collector Bradley. MIR. Webster, like
many other ofics.seekers who have been
here for several months, is very much
disgusted with the dilatory tactics of the
present Administration. Before leaving
for home Mr.. Webster remarked that If 1t
was not for the efforts his friends have
made in his behalf he would throw up
the sponge and give no further though ut
to the subject. 1t is apparent that the
Administration does not intend to rat'fy
the states that were made up in South
Carolina Immediately after the last
Presidential election.
There is general feeling among the
colored Republicans from the South that
they need expect but little encourage
ment or patronage from President Har-
rison. Il pretty we'll understood now
among South Carolinians that none Of
the important Federal Offices in their
State will go to colored men. It has
taken them several months to realize that
fact, but those who have been here trying
to pull the wires now acknowledge that
this is to be q white mans administration
so far as South Carolina is concerned.
At the present writing Brayton has 8
fair chance of being made collector of in.
ternal revenue. During the past two
days his stock has advanced materially
through the influence of member of the
Cabinet, who has no voice in making the
appointment. he has, it is understood,
written q strong letter to Secretary
Window urging the appointment of
Brayton..
COL. Bryce, who has been figuring
around here for some time as Webster's
first lieutenant, and also an applicant for
a deputy collectorship, is very disconso.
late at the decline in the Webster boom.

Raise Colts.

In conversation last Saturday with Mfr.
j. Furman Bradham, who lives near this
place, he told us Of a fine colt be owns,
only IA months old, that he is ploughibg.
He scraped an acre of cotton with this
colt in Just one hour and ten minutes.
Who can beat it9
Mr.. Bradham Is ole of the largest
stockraisefs in the county, aud be seldom
raises anything but blooded stock. He
raises and sells fine Jersey cattle, and NOW
has favorite COW that gives nineteen
Quarts of milk day.
But to 30 bach to the colt. A number
of Our progressive farmers are raising
colts, with considerable success and profit.
In fact it costs very little to raise colt.
The mare when in foal and whlle raising
the colt can for most OF Lie tiine work on
the farb1.
Every year thousands and thousands of
dollars are spenti in this country for horses
and mules, at an average cost Of sl4O to
$3.50. Tuo.thirds of this amount could
be saved to the country if our farmers
would raise their own stock. It is not
convenient for every one to raise colts,
we hear some one say. All bosh;l 1T: is
convenient and practicable. for any and
every farmer to raise colts. We have in
mind q. certain Methodist preacher, who
always travelled large circuits, having from:
twelve to eighteen churches, and taking
four weeks to make the round, and who
raised number of colts. After his mare
had foslsd, he would let her rest ten
days or two weeks and then hitch her to
his sulky for drive Of twenty or thirty
miles day, the colt thriving on the
drive. By the. time the colt vas month
old he would accustom it to the halter,
and halter it to the dams side on these
drives. The colt knew nothing else than
to be gentle, and never had to be broken
. to the saddle, harness, or plough. Sim.
ply put it at the work, and itwould do it.
For forty odd years this preacher pursued
this course successfully, raising many
very fine colts. We say if this preacher
could raise colts under these disadvant.
ages, any farmer ought to be able to raise
them.
s. If ourfcounty is. to be progressive We
must raise our OWE horses and mules,
beef and bacon, corn and hay.-Mann;ng

LaNlessness In South Carolina.

: =
The following from the Marion Star is
"a heavy indictment:
"Unless our jurors soon become q
little more conscientious aud begin to
have some alight regard to their oaths,
there is no telling to what lengths law:
ilessness may not grow In South Carolina.
NAs matters are nov progressing the
amount Of bloodshed that is constantly
occurring in this State is appalling.
Scarce a court passes in almost any
County in it but what there ars ohe or

acquittal. With SO many. homicides

is necessarily abused, since it is utterly

Eat Honey.

Thousands and tens of thousands of
children are dying all around ns, who,
because their ever developing nature
demands sweetness, crave and eagerly eat
adulterated "candies" and Syrup" Of
modern times. If these would be fed on
honey instead, they would develop and
grow up into healthy men and women.
Children would rather eat bread and
butter one pound of.honey will reach
as far as two pounds Of butter, and has,
besides, the advantage Of being far more
healthy and pleasant tasting, and always
.1emains good while butter soon becomes
rancid, and often produces cramp in
the stomach, .eruptions, soreness, vomi.
ting aud diarrhea. Pure honey should
always be'freely used in every family.
Honey eaten Upon wheat bread is very
beneficial to health. The use Of honey
instead Of sugar fol; almost every kind of
cooking is as pleasant for the palate as 1t
lis healthy for; the stomach. In prepar-
/ ing blackberry, raspberry Or strawberry

Is common expression that honey is a
luxury, having nothing tot do with the
