" Have You Lost Jesus 2 +"

Anonymous. \btt a
The following very interesting case
in connection with Major Whittle's
recent mission to Edinburg is related
by DIR. Moxy:
IA woman l spoke to told me OF a
circumstance that was narrated to her
by Christian neighbor respecting
herself which had been helpful in
bringing her, as a believer, to an as
surance of her salvation. She had
gone to an evangelistic service,
where some such verse as John iii. l6
had brought her into light and peace.
When she got home her little boy
noticed her happy face, and asked
the reason of it.
al have found Jesus, my dear
boy she exclaimed. Il am saved
by his precious blood
"How do you know?' asked the
little fellow.
Listen she said and she read
the verses to him that had brought
the joyful assurance.
Next morning Satan raised his
favOrite question of feelings and
she came down to breakfast with the
old miserable expression that her son
had been so long accustomed to.
"Every things wrong, dear; |
have made terrible mistake,
fear ~E uT- SOB. E ,ur
" Have you lost Jesus, mother?
She did not like to say she had.
Has the verse changed, then? con-
tinued the boy; it seems as if it had,
Stop, I'll go and see;' and away ran
the dear lad, to return triumphantly
with his Bible. No, mother, it's
not changed; and he read aloud tbs
blessed message.
"Said the mother to my friend
THAT was many years ago, but my
dear boys faith rebuked my unbe
lief. | then and there believed Gods
bare word, feel or no feel, because il
was his word, and l am just resting
my soul there now
"The step was greatly blessed tC
my friend, whose spiritual life up tC
that time had been anything but 6
satisfactory one"

Lay Hold Of Eternal Life.

In the name of Him who purchas-
ed it, and offers it, and urges you to
accept Of it, / entreat you to lay hold
Of eternal life. He promises it now
to-day; but not tomorrow. The
angels lowered, on wings of astonish-
ment, over a Saviour's lowly cradle,
and around his bloody cross; may
they not be as much astOnished to
see man refuse a crown of glory as
they were to see the Son of God
wearing the crown of thorns? Oh
what would the damned, the devils
give for the offer you hesitate to ac-
cept? Why destroy yoursouls? Why
provoke loving and long-sufering
God to say, My spirit shall not any
longer strive with that man-his
blood be on his own head--he is
joined to his idols, let him alone

A Surprise in Statistics.

During the year 1889, nearly H.
600 different books were printed in
Germany. According to the popu~
lar impression it would be expected
that France or England would, as
respects the number of books pub
lished, rank second to the German
Empire, and with closely approxim>
ating figures. AS matter of fact,
however, statistics reveal the sur
prising truth Italy is second, and a
distant second, with l0,S63 publica>
tons. Even more astonishing is the
fact that Russia, exclusive of Fin.
land, is third, with 7,427 publica-
tons. England is fourth, with
6,59l. The United States shows on
ly 1881.
From these statistics it is seen that
Germany's record 10 nearly equal to
those of Italy and Russia combined
and also nearly equal to the COM
bined and also nearly equal to the
combined records of the United
States, England and Russia. Many,
indeed nearly majority, of the
German books published during the
year were directly educational, 8
statement which may be explained
by the fact that every professor and
man of letters in Teutonia is eXpec-
ted to publish a book at least as Of
ten as once in four years.

In the harvest fields shall cease to CLEAN
Since the bloom of the spring has fed?
Shall veil mine eyes to the MONDAY sheen
Since the dew of the morn hath sped?

For Governor.

General Bratton announces himself as
candidate for Governor. Except wherein he
yields to the solicitation Of his friends, the
letter is a good one, and one which will COM
mend its author to the public.
During last week circular letter was pre-
sented to some OF our citizens asking MIR.
date.
The editor OF this paper did not sign it for
the reason that he wants no man to apologize
for becoming a candidate by charging his
friends with "bringng him out" AS rule,
that is not the way gentlemen become candi-
dates for office in South Carolina, though we
believe the honor of becoming II candidate
was forced upon Mr.. Tillman By n convention
of delegates who now seem very much OPP
posed TO the anti-Tillman men even limiting
Mt the same thing.
We believe that no man should run for any
Office that he doesn't want If, therefore,
candidate apo!ogises for running for an ofiite.
by saying that he does so in Difference to the
wishes Of friends-instead OF frankly saying
that he Is running for II for the reason that he
wants tive think the public might very well
excuse him. There are generally enough
men ready to take office, without being beg
ged 10 do SO.
We would be glad to see Mr.. Sheppard be-
come a candidate, but If he does not do so on
his own motion, we would prefer that he re.
main out OF the race. The office Of Governor
OF South Carolina is an honorable one, and no
citizen need seek the office from any sense OF
duty to the State.
We are sorry that Mr.. Sheppard did come
out promptly, and because he himself desired
the honorable office. The Ne,0s and Cou,fer'S
postal card election was enough TO satisfy him
OF the high esteem In which he Is held by the
people.

Bears the nfuhts
Not until the present ca mpaign, has any po
litical party been so intolerant as the secret
organization which now seeks control of this
State.
BY excluding the newspapers from the
homes Of the great mass of the common
people the leaders may be bett,r enabled to
control them, and we presume this is really
the only reason that can be fairly urged In IA
vor OF the boycott.
In Edgefield, Laurens, Aiken and other
counties, one Of the two local papers have
been boycotted simply because the editors
did not favor the election of Mr.. Tillman 10
the Office of Governor Such presumption
aud intolerance Is unprecedented In the Unit
ed States, and, as far as We are informed, no
such effort to Keep the masses In ignorance
has ever been made In any country.
In Edgefeld, the people are striving to de-
stroy the good old Chronicle, with that honest,
fair-spoken, brave and courteous gentleman,
James T. Bacon. at its head. His offence is
that he doesn't want B. II. Tillman for Cover.
nor.
One reason why the boycotted newspapers
need not fear, lies in the fact That generous,
brave and true hearted public like that OF
Edgefield, will come TO the relief of him
against whom an unlawful, or unjust conspr.
acy may be made.
The public likes fair play. and any effort to
ruin newspaper because Of its hoaesty OF
purpose and sincerity OF speech will fail.

1t is said that the Alliance will probably

may do.
The situation is becoming critical for cand.
dates and prospective candidates.
We believe, If Tillman does not discourage
the move, when he comes here on the day Of
