And Fast Trains TO Chicago Fair Via Penn.
sylvania Railroad
| The popular excursions to Chicago which
are being run by the Pennsylvania railroad
seem to furnish exactly what the people want
The first two trains were well patronized, and
as the vacation season is now well advanced
the remaining excursions will undoubtedly
attract much larger number of passengers.
A decided improvement in the train sched
ule, which accelerates it so as to deliver the
passengers in Chicago at an early hour the
following afternoon, places the special train
almost on an equality in the matter of speed
with the best express trains.
The special trains are composed of the
standard coaches for which the Pennsylvania
Railroad is famous. Only one night is psssed
ON the road, and the arrival in Chicago is so
timed as to give abundant opportunity for
engaging quarters before nightfan.
The dates of the next excursions are
August 10Th and 10th. The speeiai train
will leave New York a. M, Jersey Citv

The excursion rate, good only on the special
train and valid for return within ten days is

No one should fail to visit the fair with
such facilities at hand.

wich it appears that the cholera
bacillus does not like smoke. 1t
shares the feelings of the tribe of
cannibals who petitioned an
Evangelical society to send them
missionaries who were members of
the Anti-Tobacco Society. The
authorities at the wook-house
who're cholera recently broke out
have discovered that male inmates
who had been great smokers, or
who had been in the habit of
chewing tobacco passed unscathed
through the epidemic. Nearly
every man was or had been a
smoker, and the statistics show
that only eighty-three males were
attacked as compared with $50
females. TWAS found that when
a man was seized with the disease
it took a very mild form. Several old
Irishwomen in the w6rk-house
who smoked before their admission
and now, when they could manage
it, had all escaped. No one of
them had been attacked.

best days in the West. The con-
tests Of the future, he thinks, will
be between the old parties.
One or Two.

Barnwell Sentinel.
There seems to be one settled
fact in fhe politics of this country
either the Democratic party or
the Republican party is going to
be successful in all elections and
rule. The Populists, or Third
party folks, are not as far into it
as the leaders imagined they were.
Every test they make of thei:
strength comes SO short of all ex-
pectatlons that the. party grows
more and more insignificant. The
Stale of South Carolina may con-
tain few Populists, and out of
this few there are not many who
understand the nature of the
principles they have caught on to
and are advocating. Because a
man is Reformer, or Tillman
man, it is unjust to class him as
Populist. This is grave error. We
know Reformers, or Tillman men,
right here in Barnwell County
who will stick to the fac of Demo-
cracy as long as there is a shred
of it left. In other words, they
want their reformation to como
through the hands of the Demo-
cratic party. We believe that if.
any attempts are made to carry
South Cvrclina into the Third
party, there will be as many Till
man Democrats as were seen in
1876. These people have a little
more knowledge of Populist leaders
fhan many suppose, and we can
not believe that they will consent.
to cast their political future with
such a clan. We have had warning
after warning-warning with a
life experience in it-and, like
Virginians, we caunot afford to
disregard it at any time. When
the solid Democracy of the South
is broken the old enemy, the Re-
publican party, will come in,
adorned with experience aud
various implements for erecting
bomb proofs, and then tho people
of South will be forever shut out
and oppressed. The star of Demo.
cracy in South Carolina has shown
too bright tobe SO suddenly dimmed
by an insignificant meteor which
burst and come to nothingl

For THE THOUGHTFUL.

SELECTED.
The strongest thing on earth is
a holy life.
Good actions are like sheep, apt
to follow one another.
When you look for an angel
don't look at yourself.
When we lift on somebody's else
burden, God takes our own.
Mahon,et admitted bees to para
disc, but barred out the hornet.
God is not surprised at anything
that men do, but the devil often is.
No man will ever be celebrated
for. his piety whose religion is all
in his head.
There is no place in the Bible,
where God has promised to make
a loafer happy.
Some men who start out to set
the world Oh fire, give up at the
first thunderclap.
It is in his book on the Lords
Prayer, that Archbishop Farrow
gives to the world this remarkably
clear exposition of the meaning of
religion. The more the years pass
on the deeper becomes my convic-
tion that religion does not mean
and has nothing to do with many
things it is taken to mean. 1t does
not mean elaborate theology. 1t
does not mean membership of this
or that organization; it does not
depend on orthodoxy in matters
of opinion respecting which Chris
tians differ. It means good heart
and a good life. Right conduct, a
holy character, these are the tests
of the only sort of religion which
is Of the smallest value. All else
will vanish, this will remain.
Love, joy, peace, long suffering,
gentleness, goodness, faith, meek
ness, temperance, these are the
only fruits of the Tree of Life
which are genuine.
