GEORGE r. FEARING. 81 inches; 100
yard hurdle, feet high, is 3-5 sec; one
Quarter mile run, 81 Is see; one-half mile
run, . min sec. He was school boy
then, but these performances were quite
different from the ordinary school boys
performances
When il was learned that he was to enter
Harvard predictions were made that that
college had a sure winner IN one or two
events, and al the last Intercollegiate games
held in May he captured the running high
Jump with great case at feet inches. On
April IL Of this year he won for his college
the LOGO yard run at the indoor champion
ship games held at Boston, defeating sew
eral crack athletes from New York city
On account of the board floor twelve lap
track with sharp corners, the time he made
is not worthy of mention, but he defeated his
men. Some weeks previous TO this event
ut the handicap games OF the Boston Attn
letic association he won the running high
Jump of a board floor at feet 1914 inches,
which stands as the second best board floor
record TO Page, who has cleared feet.
As the intercollegiate games approached
James G. Lathgop, the celebrated Harvard
trainer, openly said he did not know
whether to have Fearing stick to middle
energies to the running high jump. Either
game LathroP said he could undoubtedly
be a champion at and it was far more per-
picking to train a man like Fearing than
it was a man with less ability. But judg-
ing by his records Ii seems that the run
ming high jump is Fearings best game, for
on May %, 1T the games Of his college on
Holmes Field, be made a record at this
event which places him the second best
man this country has produced and the
best man now in active competition. He
cleared on this day feet = inch, improv-
ing his own best record by . inches. His
clearing this height one week before the
intercollegiate games dampened the ardor
of intending competitors in the running
high Jump at This great college event, and
so little did be saye himself for the jump
on that day that he competed in both the
high and low hurdle races before the jump
took place and was necessarily tired. but
still he won it.
His style OF jumping Is very interesting
and quite different from Pages. Page
used fair speed in his run, starting about
fifty feet from the bar. Fearing starts at
about thirty OF t,Hrty-fiye feet away and
strides up rather slowly, giving a decided
spring which Eiakss one think that If he
would only try a li5tlc harder he could do
more Il is peculiar style, and Is quite
different from that of other jumpers. 1t

les that within the next two or three years

! I see from your correspondents that your

, thnrity on late Alliance news.
| Can you give the members OF the Alliance
any information as to what was done al
Greenwood last saturday?
J \ notice was received by the -i6brriUe Ne
tiimnl from Mr.. John II. Blake, Jr., President
! OF the County Alliance, that the
"Hon. VI. L. Donaldson, State business
Agent, will address the Greenwood Alliance
on the 22nd instant. in reference to the State
Exchange. Col. u. X. Norris, Of anderson,
will also deliver an address TO the same body
on the good of the order"
All members Of the Alliance are invited TO
attend. Mr.. Donaldson is one of our State Of
;icers, n fine speaker and u very Jealous mem.
Der of the Alliance. and we would all have
been glad to have heard him Oh the subject OF
the State Exchange.
our County President seems to have had
something tn do with the arrangements, nj
least to the extent OF extending an invi lation
to all members Of the Alliance TO attend.
Has he made any other appointments to
have this distinguished officer to address 9th
er portions of the county?
The Ridge Alliance is about thirty-cight
miles from Green wood. and many others are
almost as far away. They are all interested
They havcall placed their money in the treas.
ury of the Excnansp, and they would be glad
to hear from il.
If our President had anything to do with it
and the interest OF the whole order is con-
fidcd to him-why did he not have the meet
ing at Abbevllc Court House?
1t seems to me that our County Alliance
oIght 10 meet. There are many matters that
should be discussed and settled. II is time we
had placed our orders for cotton baggng, and
if we are to 60 into politics let us ali know il
1T once and get an early start, so that the best
of the offices may not be given out before the
rest OF Us get Il chance at them.
Mr.. Blake also announced that Col ID. u.
Norris. Of Anderson, will address the Alliance
Oh the good Of the order. Is he an expert
on this subject / have not heard that he
had been appointed 10 canvass the State max
ing speeches on that subject. Does it not
mean something else" Is he not trying TO
ride into Congress on the Alliance road cart?
But can not think that our County Prcsi.
dent would undertake 10 introduce politics in.
to the Alliance when it is one of our fixed
principles to avoid IL.
think we had better advise Col. Norris to
cross over the Suluda into I.aurcnS and join
Mr.. Shells political machine.
We have heard ii whispered in the air that
IN effort was being made TO have an informal
representation OF members OF tho Alliance To
meet, probably ut BcltOn. for the purpose of
endorsing Mr.. Norris. Is this true, Mr.. Prcsi.

Selections from the Christian Neighbour
Why Such Indifference.

The views of some writer's us TO the
cause or causes of the prevailing indif-
ference toward Christian worship and
and salvation are, Us might be expect
ed, various, according to the stand
points occupied by the essayists.
Considering the staple of much OF
the preaching which the people endure
nowadays and the many invented cN-
pedients adopted by some preachers
and churches to "tlraaO" people to
their churches or rather to draw their
churches TO the world, may account
somewhat for the Indifference com
planned of. The tlattery, the tearing
and tickling, the amusing, the feast
ing, the frolicking, the lottery, &C.,
practiced in any interest Of the church
is nothing more nor less than an ac-
acknowledgement by such preachers and
church members that there is not in
their religion or their churches Il sufii-
cheney to bring The people to them,
and that preaching Christ and him
crucitied is not sufficient to draw men
unto him. Is not such religious CO.
quetry enough to engender among sen-
sible people Indifference toward relig-
ion. AS to people with less intclli-
gcnce they feel quite at ease, seeing
that the more Intelligent are so indir-
fcrent to what these inventive experts
may call "religious."

Yesterday at church I sat behind a
lady whose hat was adorned with a
bird. That is nothing wonderful, you
say, they all wear them. Yes, proba-
| bly, all who can afford fine feathers do
wear them. But let me tell you OF

small and brilliant, though | do think
the taXidcrmist had added to it some
Bird Of Paradise tail feathers that new
er grew there while the little creature
was alive. 7 had time to study that
bird as well rs listen to the sermon,
and did both.
Poor little bird! Its bill was slight
ly parted, its little throat somehcw

cry-was that its expression of dying
agony? Butchcred-not to make
Roman holiday perhaps, but only to
add few dimes to a few mems pock-
cts. to take q few dimes from other
mems packets, to disfigurc one Wo-
mans bonnet, and-shall | say make
that woman happy: Poor little bird
How like 4 child in pain it looked
with the pitiful twist of its lower
mandible, the strained throat, the un
natural, CLASSY glass eyes, staring
and fixed. Poor little bird! We're
you made for this: My heart cried
out against it all. Thousands and
