Tho Poor Mans Wisdom Despised.

Rev. w. Smith Martins letter, seen
in another place III this paper. may
suggest to Bible readers Ecclesiastes
tx 1918. Tread it, What Brother
Martin says about the publication OF
his views four or five years ago OIL the
Negro problem is true. But as the
wisdom of his views was not credited
to the big name Of some big or little
man it was "despiscd." And now
other men are making themselves and
others somewhat famous i'll their adVo-
cacy of the same views and are being
credited rs the authors Of the scheme
as though nobody had ever thought OF
such thing before. On this wise, not
only is the poor mans wisdom "de'
spised," but the ''poor man. himself is
not Remembered" i. e. the arrogant
affect not to know that such man
ever lived, or that such Il scheme was
ever heard of before it was proclaimed
by themselves.
How uc,y ttaO persons in the world
form their Judgment of either men Oh
measures by the standard of merit.
The great mass of mankind including
large per cent. of men with high
sounding titles arc mere coryists and
are content to follow Il head though
that head may choose "weapons OF
ynrn instead of wisdom.
We believe that Brother Martin Pc
cuniurily is neither poor nor rich, but
he is man of independent and
thoughtful convictions and is, with
uue Difference to others, not afraid to
say what lie thinks.

Various Thoughts.
BY JOHN HEA1MENWAY.

Oh ristian man; Christian woman
would you never sin in word or deed
If you would not, you must dEa0dYs
"Trust in the Lord with all thine
heart and lean not unto thine own un'
dcrstanding."
1t it delightful TO study the works OF
Creation; but we should he prayer,
fully careful in our meditations,
as we wander in its wonderful laby'
rinths, not for a moment to lose sigh:
of God the Creator, and God the Re.
deemer "for without Him was not any
thing made that was made"
Liberty AM money are never bless
ings unless rightly used.
Conessing repentance, however full
and frank, is of little worth unless fol-
lowed by q torsaking repentance.
War is blind, brutal disregard ol
the Christian religion.
The aLlest argument ever given by
man in proof OF the truth of Christi,
auity is Il life agreeable to Christianity.
The expression is often heard "Mr.
is growing rich" If man is
growing rich in "the knowledge Of Jc-
sus Christ,n he is growing rich indeed,
whether he is worth hundred million
dollars or q hundred cents only.
How beautiful, how sublime is this
truth from the very lips of our Saw
Jour, II am the bread OF life; he thai
comcth to me shall never hunger, he
that believeth on NE shall never
thirst"
a good wife is Gods choicest earth
ly blessing to Il man, and God should
receive sincere thanks from tie hu>-
band for the precious gift incvcry fam
lily, and in every secret prayer.
1t will he Eapry thing for Our
country when there is sufficient inter
est in Christianity to support Go'A daI-
ly religious papeTa-p"prrs that COLI
tain nothing contrary to the "F:rfhoa
on the Mount"

Early Nominations.


The farmers Of Abbeviile County met in tn
Court House last Monday, with closed doors
A full delegation 10 the Shell convention
was elected.
IL has heen said but one man in AbbcvliIe
County has been found who iavors the pro-
posed nominations on the 2Iih OF March
a prominent farmer said he ala not kho"
who TO vote for, and he thought everybody
else was in the same fix.
A bird in the air twittcrs something 10 the
effect, that Mr.. Courtney, of Charleston, Mr.
Tillman, OF Edgeficld, Mr.. Shell, Of LaurenS
and perhaps others, fixed up the Shell man
ifesto in the city of Augusta.
If 1t be true that Mr.. Courtney took part IN
the drafting of that document, which has met
with so little public favor, 1t Is matter oi
sincere regret. Many men in Aoheviiie
would have been glad to support Mr.. court
ney for Governor, but there are men heie
who will not support any man for office WHO
appeals to class prejudices. Speaking for
the Press and Banner, we would not support
any such candidatc-althouSh That support
may be worth nothing at all.
The only persons that are really interested
are those men who want the oiiiceS. uhe
man suits the voter about aS well as ahot'''i
and we do not intend to tear our hair or &C
ilto ecstacicS over the matter, whatever inc
result may be.
The idea that our taxes are to be reduced, i
a delusion. They will not be reduced, as long
as this people are crazy on the subject of eo
ucating other peoples children at public en-
pehse.
The question should not he, whether this
man or that man may get Office, but whether
we are prospecting in our pursuits? Are we
laying by something for rainy day" These
are the vital questions for the people. Tho
politicians will take care OF themselves and
the State.

seventeen of the Best Citizens.'

Our neighbor, the augusta Chronicle, set the
copy for what turns out to be unanimous
bowling about the arrest Of seventeen Of tho
best citizens" Of Sharon and Taliafcrro coun'
ties by United States marshals because Of al
legged insult to Postmaster Ducliworth.
Now, we wish to ask why the quality of the
citizen is referred to? They were arrested be
cause they were charged with an offence. Tho
.sbest citizens seem to have exclusive right
to exemption from punishment by the state
laws, but the United States government does
not regard pedigree SO much. We presume
If the U. s. Marshal had arrested seventeen
OF the poor trash, that nothing would have
beer remarked about 1t. We say let the "besl
citizens" answer charges just like plain hon
est folk.

Strength Measured by Weakness.

A chain, we know, is no stronger
than the weakest link in it. 1t mat
ters not how strong most Of the links
may be, the weaker ones make the
chain as whole not q good one. If
every link but one were sound and
strong that one defective point would
make the chain unsafe for using. Is
this not illustrative of character? Is
it not suggestive Of James ii 10, "For
whosoever shall keep the whole law,
and yet offend in one point, he is gull
ty of ALL"
Is character stronger than the
weakest point in that character? Ono
that consciously permits sin in himself
in one particular could hardly be trust
ed to reach high duty in others. He
says neither lie nor steal nor murder,
surely may be permitted to break the
third commandment or the fourth; an
other says I neither swear nor break
the Sabbath day, I do not kill nor COW
ct, if take the advantage in this trade
what harm is done ?-the other man
thinks he is getting a bargain, 1 knou
I am. Too many are self-deceived
they reckon God their debtor by rea'
son of their obedience to nine of the
ten items in the decalogue, it may be
to the whole ten, yet neglect of tho
one great commandment: "And thou
shalt love the Lord thy God with al
thy heart, and with all thy soul, ans
and with all thy mind, and with al
thy strength" Thou shalt love thy
neighbor as thyself."
Has it seemed impossible to keep al
the law, OH. man of cath? Then i:
the character 10 stronger than tha
weakest point. Do not some say will
sweet submission, yes, I have my
weak points-my temper gets the bes
of me, or will swear a little when
get mad, or I do hate that man tina
has treated me unjustly-how can ont
help it?-oh, yes, have my weak
points. Your weakest point measure:
the strength of your moral character

The readers of the NEIGHBOR will
doubtless be gratified to read the letter
from the venerable John Hemmcnway.
Though not written for the public we
assume the responsibility of publish
ing it, in the hope that the worthy sue,
cessor of Penn and Ladd will pardon
the liberty thus taken. We hope that
the series of "Thoughts on Various
Subiectsn is not the last we may hear
or have from the unsurpassed Christian
correspondent of the NEIGHBoR. If
the NEIGHDoR should be favored with
what may be the last communication
of Brother Hemmenway for the public

Selections from the Christian NGighbOr
Nervousness.

Nerves, nervous, nervousness, ner-
vous system, nervous prostration are
terms used by many. persons to de-
scribe some ailment about which they
may not know much. Only nervous
people know what and how it is, what
shocks or affects their nerves, but Go
not know as well what to do or to take
or what not to do or not to take to cure
or get relief.
Some persons are naturally more
nervous than others, they are so born'
and cannot help it though by gentle
discipline - self-government - much
may be gained in the way of suppress
ing nervous agitation and by the grace
of God-the indwelling Of the Spirit OF
Christ-patience may become so per,
feet as that contentment may so take
the place Of nervousness as to enable
one to say II have learned in whatso'
ever state I am Herewith to be con-
tent"
Nervous persons seldom get that
measure of sympathy from Others
Which they deserve. The rdicule OF
impatience which thoughtless persons
manifest toward the nervous is cruel
all aggravation Of the nervousness o.
the nervous and is not clear of sin On
the part of those who may speak light
ly or tauntingly of what the nervous
one may not be able to help. A ner
vous person deserves more credit fol
self-control or for being Christian
than one of q different temperament
How well it is that our Maker
"knoweth our Frame" and that thu
esprit helpeth our infirmities." LIE
not those persons who have become
nervous through misfortune or person
al alliiction forget these inspired
words, nur let the afflicted write bitter
things against themselves but believe
that their merciiul Father in HEAVIER
pities his would-be patient children.
Acquired nervousness, whether the
result of ones own improper conduc'
or that of parents or other persons
should he striven against as any Other
evi! propensity or habit; and whether
nervousness be natural, acquired or en-
tailed by misfortune or personal aflilc
ton, let all who are thus tempted OF
tried be careful that this infirmity be
not an Notwithstanding having
the concurrence of will or consent.
