Alliance store in Spartanburg County failed
some time ago, and, although the store was
under the auspieces OF the County Alliance
when the failure came. the Alliance dis
claimed all responsibility, holding that 1t lay
with the managers personally. The creditors,
a Baltimore firm finding they could not col
lect the debt, have entered suit In the United
States Court for S2925. 1t is expected that
the case will soon come up. 1t is one of the

1 Climb to Rest.

Still must climb. If would rest.
The bird scars upward to his nest;
The young leaf, on the tree.top high,
Cradles itself without the sky.

Return in clouds the hills TO crown;
The plant arises from her root,
To rock aloft her flower and fruit.

The great horizons stretch away,
The very cliffs that wall me round
Are leaders unto higher ground.

What soul was ever quite at ease,
Shut in by earthly boundaries?
l am not glad till have known
Life that can lift me from my own.
A loftier level must be W on,
A mightier strength to lean upon.
And heaven draws near as ascend
The breeze invites, the stars befriend,
All things are beckoning TO the Best;

Shenandoah Sentinel.

Shenandoah Sentinel.
The growth Of this scheme In favor among
the cotton growers of the south has been like
Il great bubble that will suddenly collapse
and month after II bursts every man will be
ashamed TO own that he ever endorsed II.
We are surprised that any northern people
can advocate such preposterous scheme. IL
Is contrary to every principle OF justice and
is vegary that Alliance men themselves
repudiate as soon as they get in to positions of
responsibility, as did Governor Tillman. of
South Carolina. 1t is nothing more nor less
than scheme whereby the farmers can by
government aid Withhold their crops from the
market and force the prices up upon the con-
sunlers of this country TO any extent that
they see fit. 1t would at once destroy our eX-
port trade and force up the prices of cotton,
tobacco, wheat and corn to point where the
consumers of this country would be obliged
TO import those products while the American
crop lay unused in the government trust
warehouses. 1t would in q short time array
all the voters in America Into two huge class
parties, the trust believing farmers on one
Side and all other classes against them. The
people Of this country do not believe in trusts
of any kind and they will never get the gov
ernrpent into the business. The farmers
should organize to down existing trusts, not
to form one OF their own.

Don't Forget.

Children often forget what their earth
friends say to them ; but we are afraid
that they still oftener forget the words
of their Friend and Father in heaven
they forget that his eye sees them at
all times-in the dark as in the light,
when they are alone and when they
are in company.
They forget that when they say
what is not true, or fly into u passion,
or learn their lessons ill, or grieve
their friends or their teachers, they
areaIl the time grieving God and max
ing Him angry.

thrown out of the cab by the

subsequently crushed almost TO a jelly.
His brains were strewn along the track
for distance of at least fifteen feet.
HIS body was also badly mangled, the
legs being badly cut and crushed.
Death was instantaneous. Johnson

toward his official death is his personal
unpopularity with the aldermen. He
has never shown disposition to truckle
to the men who have stolen into the city
hall by chance. He has never spent his
time in hobnobbihg with them and his
money in buying them drinks, cigars
and toys for the baby. He has simply
attended to his business and kept out of
their way. 1t is we'll known that with
many of the men who make up the Min
neapolis council strict devotion to duty
IS not extremity popular. Again, it is
whispered that StetSoE has been known
to vote for Democrat. In the eyes of
certain aldermen that is helnOus Of
Tense. Especially is it so in a year
when the Democrats have captured
everything in sight at the polls.
These. i'll brief, seem to be the rea-
sons why StetsOn must die. 1t is
strange that his unftness for the posi-
ton which he holds has never been dis
covered during the eight years he has
Sc rved at the head of the department.
He has been its governor during all the
time it was being built uD to metro
politan standard, and now that it is a
department, the man who has done most
to make it what it is must drop out. He
can no longer manage it. Like Faust
in the old German myth, his creation
has become his master.
StetSOn may have his faults. He may
not be the greatest fire chief that the
world ever saw. No one contends that
he is. Nor do his enemies, so far as can
be discovered, allege that he is wanting
in ability. 1t isn't even urged that Runge
is better man. He may be, but that
part of the problem has never been
demonstrated. 1t all amounts to this:
Stetson must go, and Runge is the only
available man to succeed to his gong
wagon. Runge has been good officer.
But to good many people it seems UNI
wise to throw away an approved tool
until better one has been found to take

A HAPPY NEW YEAR.

All Things Work Well together
for Our Good.
G. L. Morrill, preached at the Calvary
Baptist church last night upon "a
Happy New Year."
Following is the thought of the SER
mon, which was enforced with illustra-
lions and earnest personal appeal:
We have not passed this way heretor
fore, but judging the circumference
from the arc, and the future from the
past, we know that all things shall work
together for our good. provide we love
God. Who loves God is the elect OF
God.
With Carlyle. we feel time to be "a
miracle, a thing to strike us dumb"
But0f it comes life and a appinesswhicn
consists in adjusting ourselves to mat
ter, truth and spirit by means of sense.
intellect and heart. TO fail here is to
reap shift and sham, disappointment
and despair. No materialist's sensu-
alist's life is worth the living. 1t is full
of bauble and blister here, and the fut-
ure is big and dark with storm. Life's
value is in prayer, faith and works. 1t
is rooted i'll Him who, as Christ Of God,
is the philosophy of events and logic OF
processes which have widened and deep
ened power, making possible character,
church, society and state. Divine love
and wisdom veil the future, but promise
siren. tn according TO our day and need.
Sickness may come. friends die, wealth
fail, bat the wheels will continue to
revolve upon the axle of Gods love and
bear us away to our heavenly home.
Happy New Year, will come to all
who Will pluck pen from the black
wing of the past and write in letters CT
living light GLORY to God in the high
est, and on earth peace, good will to-
ward men," Painfully we climb the
mountain, but are rewarded by broader
outlook. Care and suffering. disap-
pointed hope, plans and ambition may
have lett grief and pain for promised
joy, yet we can say God is goOd as we
look out upon the under history, expert
ence and grace to be.
Forget the things behind and
press forward. Get out of old
rutS and enter new paths of
what shall lead to greater honesty,
purity and kindness. Wake up from
the Inconsistencies of your privilege
and duty and look and listen to the
worlds grooming and agony of bloody
sweat. Time is tiying,men are dying
who will not do and dare as never be-
fore? Forget mistakes lest you be me-
lancholy and success lest you be supine,
and go forth 10 your eden and golden
age which lies not in the past but in the
future.
We are not what we might have been,
but under Gods guidance may be more.
than we are, in what pertains to charac-
ter, culture and Christian sympathy for
the poor and outcast.
If 1890 was tombstone as we'll as a
milestone let the eye OF faith read upon
it what Paul Fleming saw in the little
chapel of st. Gilgen. Look not mourn
fully into the past; it comes not back
again. Wisely improve the present, it
is thine; go forth to meet the shadowy
future without fear and with a manly
heart" Doing this, 1891 shall be happy
with joy time cannot weaken and
death can only garner to heavens
harvest.

JESUS NEVER CHANGES.
Rev. w. j. Lhamon breaches on
His Stability.

At the Church of Christ yesterday
morning, Rev. w. j. Lhamon preached
on 1.-The One Who Changes Not With
Changing Years." from "Jesus Christ;
the same yesterday, to-day and forever"
Following is an abstract of his dis
course:
"Some things are trite because they
are tremendously true. Time flies. The
years bring change, and change means
ultimately the grave. 1t has been a
chief business with the philosophers to
seek, and with the prophets to dream
of, the absolute. the Interchangeable, the
perfect, where there is rest. No people
in the world was ever better salts
fed with their own religion than the
Jews, yet they were always in anticipa-
ton of something better; not a prophet
but looked for greater day and COM
ing man. Till John the Baptist, that
people was in state of expectancy.
Then Jesus arises, reads the prophecies,
and says, To-day is this fulfilled in
your ears and from that time all is
ish apostles: they proclaim not a hope
but fact, and prophecy lays its crown
at the feet of Jesus.
HE is perfect man. He is complete.
He changes not. In Him the world may
find rest. His life is marvellous. His
character, is model. His words are
machless. His works are miraculous.
Mathematical aXioms are the same yes
terday, to-day and forever, because
they are true. So Jesus changes not.
If he loved us once he loves us forever.
He is such a friend that if it were need
full he would die for US to-day IN Amer
lea as he did once in Judea. If lie hated
sin once, he hates it now, and will hate
it forever. If he uttered parable of
Judgment once, it is his parable now.
and he will be judgment forever.
If he told US of door where we
may knock when it Is too late, it is be-
cause that door is real, and will be for
ever. If Jesus was once severe in his
Judgment of hypocrites and blasphe-
mers, if he condemned dishonesty. neg
ligence, Incidence, religious indiffer-
ence and profanity, he is still severe.
