VARIABLE CLIMATE THE BEST.

Abbstract of a Lecture by j. H. Kellogg,
NJ. D., Battle Creek, Mich.
The changes of the seasons incident
to our Northern climate are wonderfully
advantageous in several ways In the
summer nature slows down all the vital
fires. 1t is necessary to run the vital
machinery slower in order to preserve
our lives. We become more sluggish
and lose our energy and ambition. This
is noticeable in ali warm countries 1t
takes larger force of men a greater
length Of time to do a piece of work in
the South than it does in the North, and
it a Northern man goes South and at
temps to work there as he formerly did,
he will either die or learn to submit to
the inevitable laziness of the climate.
The people of warm countries do not
have any of the toning up which comes
with the change from hot weather to
cold and so keep continually in this
slow summer rut
Here in the North we get the tonic of
cold weather. We breathe little more
rapidly; we think faster; we are lifted
to a higher plane of existence; we are
more energetic. The difficulty is that
some are not willing to submit to the
toning up processes and influences.
Many OF the people who run away to
the South suffer great loss. 1t is we'll
enough for those who are so weakened
that they can not put on winter con-
stitution, but to those who are able to
tone themselves up to the freedom of
out OF door exercise, it is the greatest
possible blessing to remain in the more
invigorating climate of the North. The
most energetic people in the world are
those who live in. the temperate zones
and are Injured TO climatic changes.
They are also the largest and the finest
specimens of humanity physically. If
we go too far north, the extreme cold is
found to have a dwarfing effect, as is
witnessed by the Esquimaux. The ex-
treme heat of the torrid zone is equally
unfavorable for the fullest develop

recent editorial in the Atlanta Con-

with which they 60 down into their

Improvement, whether for utility or
beauty, the city has taken leap forward,
adding new railroads, more territory for
i:sher trade, fourishing suburbs, prosperous
Industries; an influx of population, more
capital, and an upward jump in the value
sof our property. Every dollar spent in
sspushing the city forward, quickly returns
with hundred per cent. interest. The

LEXINGTON DEPOT, S. c., May g.
Willie Leapheart, convicted Of fcriminally
assaulting Miss Rosa Cannon, was lynch
ed here this morning. The lynching party
numbered about one hundred. Some
were from the country and soue from
town. It's members made no effort to
conceal their identity and openly ac-
knowledge and discuss the matter ON the
streets. The bogus detective, Foster, was
in the cell with Leapheart when the mob
entered. He was shot in the arm and had
narrow escape from death. By desper.
ate fighting he freed himself from Leap
hearts grasp and got in another cell. The
mob forced themselves in the cell corridor
and poured volley after volley in the cell
with little effect, Ieapheart keeping in q
corner at the entrance. Three lamps
were brought and he shivered them to
pieces with stick. Five men successfully
attempted TO enter the cell and were
cracked over their heads. After several
hundred shots had been fired bullet
struck Leapheart in the head, hurling him
to the floor. He was then dragged out
and sixteen balls from q Winchester were
fred into him. The intention vas to
hang him in Graham's yard, but the mob
had to kill him to get him out of the cell.

Graham and Miller left here for Columbia

the consequences of their act.
