The power of Prayer.-It has been
said that prayer is the key to heaven.
This is true; for the fervent prayer of
the righteous man availeth much.
How many Christians are there In the
world who, when surrounded by the
many trials and temptations OF this
life-when it seemed as If all earthly
friends had failed-have gone to the
throne of grace and poured forth their
sorrows and trials to the blessed SaI.
ior, and while struggling with God in
the closet have had the spirit descend
upon them, and have felt their prayers
were answered, and that they could
meet their trouble with a calm, smil-
ing face, knowing that God was doing
that which seemed best to Him for
their good! How much better Chris
tians would be if we trusted mUre III
prayer! Are you in trouble? DO
your feet grow weary at times. or are
the cares of life pressing around you
as so many sorrows and trials? If so
90 TO your closet and on your
bended knees pour out your troubles
to God in prayer; tell Him all the bur-
den on your heart. and believe He will
descend and meet you, and will bless
you and as you rise to your feet you
will be able aud ready to meet your
troubles and trials, and will feel OF q
truth that there is "power In prayer.-'-

4 Dodge That Won't Count.

We hear that Governor sheppard has been
assaied in this campaign rs repudiationiSt
and charges that his vote in the Legislature
in 1873 to invalidate some of the Radical
bonds has had much to do with the present
poor credit OF the State. This is Il mistake e.
A repudiationist is one who cancels valid
debt,-not one who Sits Out the good from
the bad. Gov Sheppard did no Inole than
the rest Of the Legislature, and did nothing
wrong. The Abbeville delegation, including
Gen. r, r. Hemphlll, voted the same way,
and to call Gov. Sheppard Il rcpudiationist Is
to brand in the same way the entire General
Assembly of 1878.
To say that this vote OF Gov. Sheppard is
the cause Of the decline in our bonds is ridic'
ulously nonsensical. At that time our bonds
were worth something like 10 cents on the
dollar, and they steadily appreciated In price
until they were worth los. If this caused
poor credit, why did the bonds not decline
This was deep and unkind dive to get moth
ing.
1t has also been laid down as principle
that "atl business men know viz: that as
bonds mature they decline in price. This is
true if the bonds are above par, but under no
circumstances ought good bond to so beio'r
par. When the last coupon is clipped the
bond should be worth 100 cents on the dollar
as IL reads, and If il declines below par-there
is something wrong. W" live TO learn, out
we are yet to be convinced that 1t Is a "busi-
ness principle" that bonds maturaity decline
belo,D par as they mature.
Try again, gentlemen. these excuses Will
not do.

A GOOtl RetOrt.

A temperance discussion once
sprang up in large coach crossing the
Alleghanies, and the subject WAS
handled without gloves. One gentle
man maintained stocial silence until
he could endure it no longer; then he
broke out strongly, saying: "Gentle-
men, I want you to understand that l
am liquor-seller. 1 keep a public
house, but would have you to know
that I have license, and keep de-
cent house. I don't keep loafer5 and
loungers about my place, and when a
man has enough he can get no more
at my bar. I sell to decent people, and
DO respectable business" When he
had delivered himself, he seemed to
think that no answer could be given.
Not so, thought quaker, who was
one of the company. Said he
"Friend, that is the most damning
part of the business. If thee would
sell to drunkards and loafers, thee
would help to kill off the race, and so
ciety would be rid of them; but thee
takes the young, the poor, the limo
cent, and the unsuspecting, and makes
drunkards of them. And when their
character and money are gone, thee
kicks them out, and turns them oyer
to the other shops to finish off; and
thee ensnares others and send them on
the same road to ruin" Surely the
Quaker had the best of the argument
tor he had the fact on his side. The
more respectable and attractive any
public bOuse is, the greater mischief II
is able to do in any decent community

Notes and Incidents Of the Day-NO

Yesterday was big day in Abbeville de-
spite the fact Of the unfavorable weather. A

An immense crowd were here. including
many ardent Tillmanites and a host of zeal
Gus anti TIllmanites.
Early in the morning the people began to
come in. and by ten o'clock II seemed that eV-
erybody was here.
About ten o'clock Governor Tillman met n
considerable numher of his friends at the OIL
flee OF LIT. Gov. Gary.
Captain Shaw'S mounted company Of fifty
nine Tillman men was conspicuous figure
on the square and in the procession.
Governor Tillman was carried from the
public square in Il wagon, with bow frame
surmounted by torpaulain and ornaIncnted
with SheafS of wheat, bundles OF oats. green
cotton stalks, green corn, and fresh corn ind

Governor TiIlman Owns Up.

No one, after the speech of Gov. Tillman
yesterday, can longer doubt his position on
the So poll tax and property or educational
qualification TO suffrage. Gov. Tillman stated
unqualifedly that he favored both these
measures. 1t is true that he cant alone
make them laws, but If any man In the State
can do so with his party GOV. Tillman can.
1t is dangerous to vote for men of power who
favor such laws.
Our people had better think carefully before
these unjust measures are placed upon them.

keep down bugs and beetles to u great

Abou: the worst thing that we know OF, Is
the act OF Governor Tillman in charging, by
insinuation. that Governor Richardson's ac'
counts were not correct. He could have
known by examining the Comptroller Gener'
ais office that the money had been paid, even
though the voucher, or receipt. for the same
In his Office had been misplaced. 1t having
been proven beyond the shadow of doubt
that Governor Richardson's account is cor
rect, will he fair enough 10 retract the slan-
der Or, will the public be left In doubt as to
whether the papers were misplaced by some
one in his employ?

The banana Notwithstanding certain
preiudices to the contrary, is among the
most valuable and nutritious foods.
Primitive men in tropical countries is
said to have subsisted mainly upon this
fruit, and the savage of the sea ISLANDS
owes to it his physical power. Ihc
claim is made and supported by reliable
authority that bananas contain all the
essential elements of nutrition, and
that, if necessary, life can be sustained
bv nm exclusive diet of this fruit.
What has not been generally known Is
the fact that the banana is y developer
tropical lily, from which by ages OF
cultivation the seeds have been ellml-
mated und the fruit greatly expanded.
Thus is the Scripture fulfilled: "Ih'
shalt feed among the lilies"
