MANS OBJECT IN LIFE.

The Rev. DIR. Vose preached at the
Union Congregational yesterday morning
In exchange with the pastor, the Rev. Mn
Horton. His subject was, MANS Object
in Life.v The man who does not have
Christ for his idol, he said, in life makes
failure OF IL. Christ came into the world
10 raise mans standard of living. He
came TO show men how TO live. Money or
power does not make life worth the liv-
ing. There must be some higher motive.
A mans will is n great thing in life, and
where there /. n strong will Christ's love
in the heart makes it still stronger. The
man whose object in life is TO only amass
"A fortune, to accomplish some wonderful
end that he may may gain fame, is never
satisfied To be as Christ-like as possible
he will come the nearest TO attaining that
standard of living that his maker intended
for him

"BAD COMPANY"

At the Park Street f. B. Church last even
ing the Rev. Ernest Wesley delivered an
address on bad Company" The speaker
handled his subject i'm a m.sterly manner,
and explained the baleful influence people
OF evil mind had over those pure and un-
defled. I'VE cannot associate with bad
company" said the preacher, without
becoming corrupt ourselves. Their de-
ficiences in character, so glsring at first,
soon become CLOSED over with veneer Of
their footsteps, and, taking them for our
models, initiate each phase OF their char
acter."
The speaker also showed the tremendous
increase in the rate Of crime during the
past two years, and traced several we'll
known instances back 10 the starting point
when the perpetrator first entered the cir
Gle of bad company.

The order of the Republican clubs con-
testing for the NEWS silk banner remains
practically the same this morning that 1t
was on Saturday. Besides "driblets,"
quite a ntmber of votes came in for the
Young Mems Republican club, which
brought that organization within two

between these two organizations is close
and exciting.

small advantage, but the country will
suffer incalculable loss. Bitterness will
return, the gulf Of separation will be wi
dened, business will be injured, for capi-
tai is shy in the presence Of uncertainty
and the hands on the clock of progress
will be set back. The bill represents a
malignant purpose and its enactment
would be little short of crime. The
common sense of the county is against
it. 1t is urged by surly, frantic, frenzied
demsgogues, who would imperil the gov.
ernment rather than lose personal ad-
vantsge. In spite Of their efforts, the
bill, we believs, will be Killed. If not,
then the Republican party, as its author
and sponsor should be buried out of sight
at the next presidential election.

a Trip to the LowndesvilIe Section.

Mr.. EDITOR: I ask for little space in
your excellent paper to tell of a recent
trip 7 made down into Abbeville County
on the 31st nit. Lenving Anderson on the
early morning train, I reached Lowndes.
Vile at CLOCK. Everything was quiet
in the little city. Securing good horse
from the stable OF Messrs. Barnes d Ten.
nant, made my way over Wilson's Creek
and across Rock River. at every farm
house I could see one or more bales of
cotton stored away awaiting higher
price. That night spent at the home Of
Mr.. John A. Kennedy who was very
sick. From there returned to Lowndes-
vile and went down into the Fork, visit.
ing the gin house of my friend, Mr..
James Harden, one of the most enterpris-
ing young farmers Of that section. Next I
visited Mr.. Bolin Allen, another prosper
GUS farmer. All through this section
there is plenty of cotton still in the
hands of the farmers.
After passing through my old stamping.
ground, visiting the scenes Of my boyhood
days and noting the many different
changes that had taken place in the last
thirty-two years, rode up to the hospi-
table home of Isaac McCarley, one Of the
best farmers of his section After riding
over good portion of the big plantation
hunting my friend, found him on an
island in the river, where his hands were
picking cotton. He has fine farm, and
told me that he had all of his cotton yet to
sell.
Leaving the Captains I made my way
up the river, and on every side could see
cotton. Through this section many
changes have occurred and I could
scarcely recognize the country. T passed
the old school ground where, thirty-five
years ago, / was pupil of that faithful
old pedagogue, Mr. Abner Clinkscales.
Oh, If could but recall those happy days.
Nearly all of my boy companions have
passed away. Of those alive I could re:
call the names of T. NJ. Tucker and
Thompson Oliver, who live in Alabama,
J. M. Carlisle, who lost leg in the war,
and John Manning, who had the pleas
ure of meeting. It made ME sad to think
Of the number who had gone to their long
home and of Others who we're crippled for
life, but I felt grateful for having been
spared and enjoying good health.
Returning to Lowndesville spent that
night with our kind-hearted friend, D. G.
Barnes, who, with his noble wife, know
how to make ones stay under their roof
pleasant, Next morning, hearing that
Mr.. j. A. Kennedy was worse, came
home and sent my wife down there
That night telegram was sent me an.
nouncing his death, but did not receive
it until next morning, Mr.. Kennedy was
about 65 years of age, and was well known
in Anderson. He was q member of the
Presbyterian Church, and q good, upright
citizen. D. T. G.

- An electric railway 1875 miles long
is about to be opened in South America,
connecting Buenos Ayres with Montevi-

but an overland "telphersge line," and

-Disbelieyers in vaccination for small
pox should consider the statements just
made to the French Academy of Medicine
by Dr.. Brouardel. While Germany loses
only ITO persons per anuum from small
poe, France annually loses IL 900, to be
accounted for by the rigid way in which
vaccination is enforced in Germany and
by the carelessness of the Frenchmen.
In 1865, when vaccination was not obi
gatory iu Prussia, the mortality was 81
per 100000 inhabitants. After vaccina.
tion was enforced the mortality fell in
1874 to 800 per 100000, and in 1886 to
to 0.049. At the present time the NOR
tality from this cause in France is 43 per

mers' Alliance, will cut no figure in the
fight for the United States Senatorship
next Tuesday but that on the contrary
be is being carefully groomed for the
Governo:ship in 1894, when Tillman is
more than likely, as I have already
pointed out in these columns, to succeed
the Hon. M. G. Butler in the United
States Senate"
The Tillmanite who inspired this
knew his man. Stokes snapped up and
swallowed the bait with avidity, as the
sequel shows. On the night of the next
day, Saturday, there was caucus of
about forty Alliance men, which was
preaidea over by Senator Stokes, presi.
dent of the State Alliance. A ballot was
taken, with Donaldson in the lead, next
Irby, then Keitt. Stokes, as predicted,
in the Charleston World, cut no figure
in the fight. He got only four votes.
He was out of the race in an Alliance
caucus.
1t vas then agreed to hold an Alliance
caucus on Monday night, when sill the
Alliance members of the General Assem-
bly, would be present and select an ALI
ance candidate. A committee was ap-
pointed to wait on Donaldson, Irby and
Keitt and get them to state in writing
their position on the principles and de-.
mands of the Alliance, to be read before
the caucus. President Stokes said to the
writer that his position was we'll known,
but the position of Donaldson and Irhy
was not; hence the request that they be
put in writing. I put mine in writing
and handed it in. Senator Stokes, presi.
dent of the State Alliance and presiding
officer of the caucus of Alliance men on

agreed, led off into caucus of Non a Iii.

caucus Alliance men who did not support
Tillman we're excluded, and into which

Stokes sold out the Alliance for the
shadow of being Governor of the State
four years hence. That is the logical
conclusion. The result was the Alliance
had no candidate. Alliance men were
free to vote for whom they pleased. Some
rightly exercised it.
Senator Stokes, from his position as
president of the State Alliance and his
failure to convene the caucus of the AL.
lance men on Monday night, which was
agreed on, and bis leading off into 8
caucus of Non.Alliance men, is RESPONSE
Bile for the failure on the part of Alliance
men to send representative man to the
United States Senate, who would dc
honor to the State and our noble Order.
The injury resulting to the Order from
the treason of this one man cannot be
estimated. True and brsve men cannot
fight under the flag borne by traitor

The New York Herald says the indus
trial progress of the south during the
yea, just ended is something marvellous.
The assessed value of property down
{ States, for 1890 is more than $500, 900, 900
above the assessment for 1889. Northern
5sseapital is finding safe and profitable in
..ssyestment in every field Of southern enter
prise. The bond of unity between the
Z Wosections is being strengthened old
animosities and prejudices are dying out.
B Mutual interest in manufactures, saw
mills, cotton, iron mines, smelling works
brings us into closer relationship. We
5 understand each other better than ever
before and respect each other more. For
many years the south struggled with un-
8 paralIelled ad7ersities. 1t had all the
8 natural means of wealth, but no money
with which to develop its resources. To
;sthe last degree plucky, borrowing hope
sSfrom future, which was sure to repay
gtheir efforts, its young men went to work
with will. There were fortunes to be
s had, and they were determined to get
them. What had been done in steady
s New England and in the majestic west,
/ they were bound to do in the South. Sue
4 cess so far crowned their endeavor that
(sthe wonder and surprise of the north
changed to admiration. We found them
..Scloss On our heels in the race, and soon
:1learned that We must strike stronger
gait or they would forge ahead. Then
scame the force bill, the last rancorous
relic of ancient hatred. It ia o coarse,
brutal insult to people who are doing
.sallsthat could be expected with a race
problem so serious and grave that we may
well thank God we are not ourselves call.
Sad upon to handle it. Under the plea of
sfair elections it hides an inordinate greed
sof fpar.y, which would endanger the re-
public for the sake of another lease of
power. If that bill is pushed through
#the senate the republicans may gain
