A Man Of Courage.

Col. Phillips, of Salina, has lots
of nerve. Some twenty years ago,
when making a speech at Eureka,
Kansas, he stood near a window.
Some fellow on the ground outside
fired a pistol shot at him. The
glass gingled and the bullet lodged
in the ceiling just over his head.
Some of the audience were badly
scared but Col. Phillips went on
with his speech, giving not the least
indication that anything unusual
had occurred.-McPhersOn Repsb-
lican.
The Colonel carries his nerve with
him when he goes to Washington.
He never finches when it comes to
standing up for what he believes to
be right. When he was in congress
he incurred the enmity Of the gold
bugs of Wall street by the stand he
took in favor Of more money for the
people. But he never wavered.
That is the kind Of men Kansas
needs in congress. Men who think
not Of themselves but Of the work
before them.-LeaUen,cOrth Times.

REDUCED RATES TO NEW
NnRK
G. P. & T. A., st. Joseph, M

Attention is called to the fact that rates
to New York via st. Louis and the
Ohio & Missippi Railway are two dollars
less than via other routes running through
cars, while at the same time the high
character and efficiency of our train serv-
ice is fully maintained.
We are therefore able to offer lower
rates, combined with first class through
car service from ST. Louis to New York
via Washington, Baltimore and Phila-
delphia; combination of advantages
possessed by no other line. These re-
ductions apply on both first and second
class tickets sold at all western points via
this line and its principal connections to
New York, and holders are entitled to all
the privileges usually accorded on tick
cts of the class purchased; there being
no extra charge whatever for passage on
limited express trains except for Pullman
Car accommodations.
Double daily lines OF Pullman Veeti-
bule Sleepers are run by this Company
from st, Louis to CINCINNATI, Louisville,
Washington Baltimore, Philadelphia and
New York without change.
Solid vestibuled day express with Pull
man Buffet Parlor Cars to Cincinnati
and Louisville.
No change of cars on any train for
either passengers or baggage.
When purchasing, ask for tickets via
the Ohio & Mississippi Railway, for sale

The Recent Rate War

Advertised the Burlington Route prob
ably more than anything else could have
me. Her old established line, such as
her line to Chicago, hardly needed this
advertising, as it was established years
ago, way back in the old era before the
war;" and has acquired reputation for
speed, safety and comfort entirely IN
rivaled. But her comparatively new st.
Louis line was advertised as it only
could be advertised by, the crowds who
were induced to travel on account of the
reduction in rates. This st. Louis line is
recent departure of the Burlington.
About year ago through train service
was first inaugurated between Denver
and st. Louis via st. Joseph and Kansas
City. This magnificent train of Sleepers
and free Chair Cars, leaving Kansas
City and st. Joseph after supper places
the passengers in st. Louis in time for
breakfast the next morning.
The cut rates also increased the bulk
of the st. Paul travel, but here, as with
the Chicago line, the added advertise
ment was unnecessary, for in this busi-
ness the Burlington is not much troubled
by competitors. One or two lines sys-
tematically advertised st. Paul and Min
Deapolis business, and then go lacking
across States like a ship against head
wind, or sending spur from q Chicago
line, call it q through st. Paul Route.
The Burlington's through trains from
Kansas City, Atchison and st. Joseph,
includes the following.
First in the list stands the "Eli," the
famous Chicago flyer leaving Kansas
City, st. Joseph aud Atchison in the
early evening it makes the run to Chicago
in little over twelve hours. This train
has Dining Cars en- route.
st. Louis is reached by the evening
train, of which we have already spoken.

The republican county cQpven-
ton, which convened October 18th,
1890, was one Of the best ever held
in Trego county. While we have
attended conventions where the ma
chinery ran more smoothly, we never
attended one where better feeling
prevailed throughout. Perfectly
conducted conventions are usually
synonymous with the term ''slate, y
''cut and dried" etc. 1t was very
evident from the beginning to the
ending that the politicians did not
have control, but that the delegates
carried out their intentions to suit
themselves, and the result was sew
eral surprises. As is always inevi-
table in all conventions, where there
is more than one candidate for the
same office, some were disappointed
in not securing the nomination of
their favorite, but so far as could be
observed there was an entire absence
of all bitter feeling over the result.
Every township in the county was
fully represented, and better dele
cation, as a whole, we have never
seen in Trego county.

MANNING, S. c., WEDNESDAY, JULY %, 1890.
Heaven where we eX-


pect to be.
Oh, how different it is on earth
from the way it is in heaven when q
Christian dies! We say "Close his
eyes" In heaven they say, "Give
him palm" On earth we say, 'sLet
him down in the ground" In heav-
en- they say, "Raise him on a throne. ;"
On earth it is, Farewell, farewell" :"
In heaven it is, "Welcome, welcome. !"
And so see Christian soul coming
down to the river o. death, and he
steps into the river, and the water
comes to the ankle. He says, ':Lord
Jesus, is this death?" ''No," says
Christ, ''this is not death" And he
wades still deeper down into the wa
ters until the flood comes to the knee
and he says, "Lord Jesus, tell me.
tell me, is this death2" And Christ
says, No, no, this is not death. And
he wades still further down until the
wave comes to the girdle and the
soul says, "Lord Jesus, is this death?"
''No," says Christ, "this is not" And
deeper in wades the soul till the bill
low strikes the lip, and the departing
one cries, Lord Jesus, is this death?'
"No," says Christ, this is not" But
when Christ has lifted that soul on
throne of glory, and the pomp and
Joy Of heaven came surging to its
feet, then Christ says: "This, oh
transported soul! This IS death!

A Modern Need for Sleep.

There is not one man Oh woman IN
10000 VINO can afford to do without
seven or eight hours sleep. All
those stories written about great
men and women, who sleep only
three or four hours night, lake
very interesting reading, but l tell
YOU, my readers, no man OF woman
ever yet kept health in body and
mind for number Of years with less
than seven hours sleep. Americans
need more sleep than they are get
ting. This lack makes them so nerV,-
Gus, and the insane asylums so popu-
lous. If you cannot get to bed till
late then rise late. 1t may be as
Christian for one man to rise at s as
it is for another to rise at 5: / coun-
sci my readers to get up when they
are rested. But let the rouslng bell
be r1ng at least thirty minutes be-
tore your public appearance. Ply
siciaus say that sudden jump out
of bed gives irregular motion to the
pulse. It takes hours to get over a
too sudding rising. Give us time
after you call US to roll over, gaze at
the world full in the face, and look
before you leap.-Talmage IN the

finding John Robinson, a fifteen yeal
old boy, asleep on bridge near the
outskirts of the city, they determined
to play a trick on him s quantity
Of heavy paper was procured ano
saturated with kerosene oil, and Sc
curely tied around the naked legs o4
the sleeper. A light was then ap
piled. The boy sprang up and the
flames ran up his legs. BE screamed
for assistance, and q white man llv
ing near by, with his hands, tore the
burning paper and clothing of. The
boy is very dangerously injured
and his rescuer hadhis hands serious

A Wonderful Stone.

KINGSTON, Ga, July 14.-M. John
McCraney, living near here, has found
a most wonderful stone. While
plowing on sandbar in the Etowah
river, he saw something shining
with the most brilliant OF lights just
to one side Of him. he stopped his
plow and went to pick it up. It was
a clear white stone, the size Of an
egg, rejecting in one way all the col,
ors Of the rainbow. Turning it over
the colors took on the character Of a
spirit level, following each other up
through the centre of the rock till all
were gathered in one end. Nh. Nc
Craney has been offered 81, 900 for it
but refused it. He will take it to
Atlanta to have it tested. It may pe
diamond. It emits q perfectly
white light in the dark.

Effect Of Heat Upon Crops.

The weather is beyond mans con-
troll. He can neither make it hot or
cold, wet or dry. But he can modify
these in part OF more strictly speak
ing, can modify their effects, and he
can arrange and regulate his opera
tions with reference to them. Inthis
consists the real skill of the farmer,
and upon it depends his success. At
tention is called to this matter now,
because the widespread heat of Late
has bone heavily on the crops, and
farmers have a most excellent oppor-
tunity of noting the effect that dis
tance or the lack of distance between
plants has Lad upon the crops. Not
only his own crops but those OF his
neighbors are open to his inspection.
AS he travels along the road, On any
mission whatever, let him keep bis
eyes open and look carefully for facts
bearing on this matter. People must
look for ideas, as well as for things,
if they expect to find them. The OBJ:
servant man has no better eyes than
other people, but he has an active
brain behind his eyes that is con-
stantly interpreting the facts hesees,
bringing them together and estab-
fishing their relations. When he sees
stalk of corn or cotton suffering
from heat, be does not stop with the
thought simply that heat has done it,
but proceeds to inquire whether the
effect Of the heat has been increased
by the character Of the soil, by the
manner in which it was prepared
and was cultivated-by the kind OF
manure applied and by the manner
in which it was applied, by the great
er or less quantity Of soil from which
the plant could draw moisture tore
place that which the heat is taking
from it's leaves.
He notes that plants growing by
the side of streams or on damp soils
make finest growth when the sun Is
hottest. Mere heat alone then is not
the trouble; heat is good when &C
companied with other needed things.
Among all these other needed things
attention is now directed to the dis
tance given plants. AS you pass
about note the condition and appear
ance of crops that have been planted
at different distances. Note the eff
feet Of wide and marrow rows and OF
different spacing in the rows. The
most advanced farmers now plant IL
wide rows-three and half to four
feet. The old timers plant IN two
to two aui a half feet lows. Proba-
bly, both classes exist in your neigh
borhood. Note how their respective
crops have stood the intense heat.
AL the different modes Of planting
and cultivating crops which you may
see, are so many experiments that
you may study to advantage. Neigh
borhood clubs, that hold meetings
at farms of members, that inspect
and catechise, a1e most admirable
agencies for increasing knowledge.
# not a member of such q club, IN
spect for yourself every farm along
tie roads you ard 7E7ssssnaeil, the
owner whenever you have opportu-
nity.-W. Z. Jones in Atlanta Con-
stitutiOn.
