THIS IS TAFFY,

LONDON, April 21.-In regard to the
recent utterances of President Harrison
the Telegram says: I'VE heartily welcome
an American rivalry that will enable US to
see them and go them one better. The
relations between England and America
have been so perennially cordial that we
are almost justified in treating the pro-
posed fleet as an auxiliary to our own. to
which we should be able to depute the
task of patrolling the Atlantic to protect
all English speaking commerce in the
event of war with any Europern power

SHOTGUN POLITICIANS.

AUGUSTA, Ga, April 2l-Gossip has
developed the fact that of the present
delegation in congress from South Caro-
lima four have killed man each. But in
each case the killing was either justifiable
or in self-defense Senator Irby killed a
fellow named Kilgore in street fight at
Laurens. a man named McNinch also
took part in the difficulty, and it was
never known whether Irby's or McNinch' g
ball struck Kilgore. The shooting occur
red in 1874. McNinch was tried and served
short term in the penitenJiary. Irby
forfeited his bail and went out to Arkan-
sas for few years. He was tried on his
return and acquitted.
Col. George Tillman, when mere boy,
killed another young fellow named Chris
tian. The row occurred over a game Of
cards. Col. Tillman didn't give bond, but
went to Jail for about a year, when he was
either tried and acquitted or else convicted
and pardoned. Anyhow, Col. Tillman
went to Jail an uneducated boy, but during
that year he studied all the time and came
out pretty well educated
The next case everybody remembers, for
it occurred only few days ago 1t was a
fight in Justices court in Newberry be-
tween Col. George johnson and Mr. Jones,
in which the latter was killed. 1t was an
act of pure self defense. The colonel is a
man of eminent ability and splendid
speakers
The fourth man is Col Schell, who is
said to have killed Joe Crews, the notori-
Gus carpet-bagger and negro organizer
Crews and party of negroes had shot into
party of young men a few days before
and Col. Schell's brother was killed. Col
Schell was tried for the killing bnt was
acquitted.

the best, most efficient church workers in
all the land; the time comes for taking the
voice of the church as to the retention of this
noble, useful man and woman in this field !;
on the day appointed for the vote, only

vote against retaining the preacher; where

First Bethel Mission Annual Anniversary

Just year ago in June the Bethel Mis-
sion was organized by 4 few members of
various churches with no funds or outlook
to speak of. The Lord has most graciously
blessed their work. The Mission is con-
Quoted wholly by faith in the Great Master
and savior of men. Their first little Sun
day-school in the Third ward of three or
four scholars has grown into two great
schools. one on Main street in the new Mis-
sion hall, and on the East Side-blessed
that locality. The arbor meeting held
at Daggett Schoolhouse was much blessed,
some Seventy-five conversions resulting
They next erected tabernacle on Rusk
street and held meetings there all the fall,
with many conversions. a thousand dol
lars was raised as fund for the Woman
Home, now successfully conducted by Il
board of consecrated women of the various
churches. The home is conducted by faith
entirely IN the Lord. and has just been re-
moved to larger quarters on South Main
street, corner of Ireland street. Much good
has been done there. Meetings have been
held all winter at the Bethel every
night, aud much good done, and many con-
versions resulted. a great but quiet work
is constantly going on. Some 300 little
children weekly gather into their Sunday
School And on Fridays a girls singing
class is conducted at the Bethel. Many
needy little ones have been helped, and their
seventy-five men have been found homes
and employment, and about 1000 meals
given to the needy. Many families have
been kept by the Bethel from want
through the winter-some fifty as
a whole; from time to time helped.
Good reading for men on the streets is al
ways at the Bethel and a helping hand
found there. a tent was secured this sum
Iner and the various churches are using it
for outdoor meetings, the Bethel workers
assisting. Some 200 conversions have so
far followed this blessed work during the
past three weeks. Mr.. Hodges, superin-
tendent, and Mr.. Wendell, assistant, devote
all their time without compensation to the
work and have for year. Tie Bethel re-
ceives but $50 month and have rents of S25
to pay month, yet the Lord has moved on
Christians TO sustain such Christiy work
It is hoped Emany will remember the
Bethel, as clothing funds or books and help
of all kinds will prove cup of cold water
to some needy soul. The injunction of the
Master to go into the byways and hedges
and compel them to come in, is the Bethel's
special aim, and the Lord has greatly sus-
tanned and blessed the work

above quotation will reveal the fact that
the word duty is interpolated. as indi-

only is it that mans whole duty consists in
keeping Gods commandments, but his
whole interest and happiness as well. This
is the lesson of Solomon's life.

thought he will recover. While among the
most popular preachers on the continent, if
not the most popular he has always stood

wide influence for good.
