~ The little pioneer mother
IN smiled fondly at the pretty boy
who was already brown with
tan and glowing with health, though
only month had passed since they VEN
turcd into tha wilderness.
y never 60 far, mamma-Just down
by the SPRING
She watched the sturdy little fellow
with pardonable pride as he bounded
away down the slope toward the spring
A cluster of laurel bushes almost hid
him from sight when he was there, but
every day his mother looked down that
way whenever she passed the door, and
could always catch the CLINT of the sun
light on his tumbled curls. She was
foolish about Kim, people said; and even
tie boys fath~r told her sometimes that
she was in danger Of spelling the little
lad completely.
But here, in this great wilderness,
what reason there might be for fear
They said that all the wild animals had
been cleared out of the country long ago
but she was not so sure of that. And
as for the Indians, who knew when they
might swoop down upon the settlement
as they had done upon others? They
were berely 20 miles away to the north
and though they were friendly and in
a reservation, why-Inlians we're Indi-
ans in Mrs. Grey's eyes.
Her neighbors laughed at her fears.
They had all been in the country long
enough to consider themselves as old
settlers-some of them as long lis two
years and nothing had happened to
any Of them. Therefore, they argued,
nothing ever would happen.
And yet, while the sunny-haired boy
played by the spring and the mother
sung about her work something was
about to happen.
The horses feet sunk noiselessly into
the soft earth and Mrs. Grey did not
know anyone was near until long shad
ow fell across the floor. She was not
given to screaming but she came very
near it when she saw the four mounted
Indians sitting sereuely On their horses

sY Mrs. ~ A. noosR.
Oh, my little love,
When the fields are brown.
And the leaves 60 fluttering
Up and down;
When stormy clouds
Mount upabove,
Then what shall we do
To keep sweet love?
Then the little maid
With eyes Of blue,
And breath as sweet
As the honey dew
Made answer to me
In her quiet way,
AS we sat together
That autumn day.
WHY speak of love,
AS 'twera but a flower,
To be robbed Of life
By an autumn shower:
Like the summer rose
To faint and die,
Whenever a bIast
From the North passes by"
Move is Within" said
This maid of mine,
And her bright eyes shone
With this love diyine.
"Come cloud or storm
Come ice or SHOW
Love never will die;
True love, you know"
| had taught her this
All along the way,
| had said We will love
Till our dying day"
And now | had asked her,
My guileless dove,
what shall we do
To keep sweet love"
There was sad reproach
In her earnest eye,
She thought | had changed
As the seasons fly.
While her own young heart
Was so true to me,
No power could change
It's constancy!
But my own true lass,
| loved her more
For her earnest speech,
Than ever before.
And never will doubt,
AS through life we go,
That dear little woman
That | love so.

Captain Charles King, The author, was
travelling in railway car with a num-
Der Of friends. The news agent on the
train worried the party good deal by
his persistant efforts to force his wears
upon them. But the party held him
at bay by declaring that they had all
his books.
We'll. I've got one book you haven't
read, and he produced Captain Kings
latest novel.

the agent. Ut has only just been pub

read it.
I'll take that bet, said Ceptain King
and the two put up their money.
Then Captain King pulled out one of
his visiting cards and handed 1t to the
agent, saying: u am Captain Charles
King, the author Of that book, and I
read it in manu- script and in proof
Gee whillikins ! gasped the agent
with low sad whistle, and he went off
and didn't bother that party any more.

Union Meeting at Berea.

The past Sunday was one of
autumn's ideal days, especially 80
when contrasted with the stormy
and, to say the least of it, disagree
able ones which preceded it. 1t was
on this pleasant occasion that we
attended the Sunday services Of
the union meeting of the first di-
vision of the Edge6eld Associa-
ton, convening at Berea church,
seven miles from Edge6eld.
This is Edgefeld county's latest
named Baptist church, and yet the
name is taken from one of the
most ancient of the eastern cities,
situated in Macedonia. st. Paul
at one time preached in the syna-
gogue of the Jews in the city Of
Berea, "where they received the
word with all readiness of mind
and searched the scriptures daily
whether these things were So"
Therefore many of them believed,
both men and women"
The first requisite for union
meeting must BE- the people, of
course, and they we're there in num-
bers, representatives from the
churches in all the different COM
munities around. The families of
Padgett, strom, Stevens, Thinner
man, Dorm, Green, Yeldell, QUITS,
Cheatham, Bird, Williams, Lewis,
Patterson, Holloway, Harling,
Grift1s, Reynolds, Gaines, ETC., were
all represented.
The Berea church is small one,
but the hearts Of its members are
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1894-10-03

large, and demonstrate the fact
that magnificent workmanship IN
the house of God and display OF
architectural skill without, does not
always indicate all elevated spirit
uality, nor the outward graces
which are necessarily the fruits of
it. A church imposing in its splen-
dour, with a dead constituency, is
like the whited sepulchre.
The missionary sermon was de-
llvered by Rev. IS. Jordan, of
Phoenix. The text selected for the
occasion was st. Luke AIS, "The
spirito of the Lord is upon me, be-
cause be hath anointed me to
preach the gospel to the poor; He
hath sent me to heal the broken
hearted; to preach deliverance to
the captives, and recovering OF
sight to the blind; to set at liberty
them that are bruised" Mr.. Jor-
dan introduced some very new and
happy ideas in connection with
missions, making his discourse in
tensely interesting and instructive.
This plan of missionary sermon
at every union is greatly calcu-
lated to benefit and interest the
people in this vital subject without
the spirit of which we are sadly
wanting in the spirit of our blessed
Lord, who left the glories of his
heavenly home, suffered the trials
of an earthly pilgrimage, and died
an ignominious death to rescue
lost and ruined people.
The afternoon session of the
union was given up to the subJect
of education, another great theme
which lie demanding the attention
of the people. There were num-
Der of speakers interested in this
subject. Among them, Rev. J. L.
QUITS, Mr.. Henry Green, Mr.. Robert
Strom, Mr.. Eb Dorm, and Mr.. W
H. Yeldell.
The subject Of the Baptist High
School was continued over till the
next union in December, meeting
at Bethany, when some definite
arrangements will be made.
Among those present at Berea
church from Edge6eld village were
Messrs. George Sharpton and Wal
lace Prescott, Misses Gertie Strom
and Florence Adams, Capt. r. S.
Anderson, Mr.. J. D. Fraser, Messrs.
Yancy QUITS and Osmond Will
liams.

For the ADVERTISERS.
Etheredge Items.

For the last few days we have
experienced another storm similar
to the one experienced on the
fourth Sunday night of August of
last year. 1t is not so severe this
time, but has lasted much longer.
Crops are damaged considerably
in appearance, though we hope
they will show up all right in the
end.
Chew sorghum cane and make
molasses; that is just what we are
doing down here. Our farmers are
making plenty of molasses this
year. Mr.. Jesse W. Black, one of
our farmers who believes in raising
everything at home, has made
from one-half an acre of ground
103 gallons of very fine molasses.
Mr.. VIM. Harman. makes most
of the molasses for the people of
this community, he has made over
700 gallons, and says he will make
as much more before the season is
over. This speaks we'll for the
farmers in this section; it shows
they are trying the live at home
plan, which is good thing. Try
it everybody, it beats running for
Governor on an independent ticket.
We congratulate our young
friend Mr.. F. H. Derrick as being
one of the successful competitors
in the examination for cadetship
to the Citadel in Charleston. Mr..
Charlie Derrick, of Leesville, was
also successful il the same exam
ination at Lexington. Thus it is
that two Derricks, cousins, go to
the Citadel. Boys, we know you
are able to do what your names in
dicate and we hope you will raise
yourselves above the average man
in knowledge.
Whew! we smell a rat! Some
thing is terribly wrong: The
"Moon" has jumped out of its
regular path and gone by way of
Newberry to run for Governor on
an independent ticket! This is
the first time in the history of the
world that we learn of the "Moon"
as being an independent body!
Some people believe that the
"Moon" is made of green cheese.
This independent "Moon" must be
made of the same stuff. 1t newed,
quartered, and fulled all at the
same time, and in November a
cloud will come and obscure that
moon" from which it will never
emerge. Then those who believe in
planting seeds in the dark of the
"Moon" will have a capital time
for perishing moles (antis) to
death.
Then we can all join in one
united voice and say: No more
more-hills to tread upon, no more
:'Moons" to 60 wrong; nothing
shall be left undone, but all will
join in our new song.

4 TIELLE FOR PIETY ONLE

Another week is 10 pass, Democratic dis
patches from Washington say, without a report
Oh the Tariff bill. Senators might prOiitably
consider one remark made by Mr.. Croker in
his famous interview nj -. Augustine He de-
clar,d that Congress ought to act on the tariff
without any more delay, because until the qucs-
ton was settled in some way N was idle Ia OK
pcct business TO revive. Men of all parties
who have practical knowledge of business I'M
dcrstand as Mr.. Croker virtually admits, that
uncertainty in regard TO the tariff is sllfli-
cicnt cause for trouble now. whatever may
have been the cause last summer. So far men
of all parties can agree. But the sole cause Of
anxiety and Of delay about the tariff is the
DartiSanSlip Of Democrats at Washington. II
It were not for their anxiety 10 help their party
in Western and Southern States. where prcju-
dice against protective duties Is powerful among
voters who usually support Democratic tickets,
tariff agitation would be dropped at once. on
the ground that the Industries Of the country
were in no condition TO stand another serious
strain. And if it were not for the anxiety Of
Democrats to save for their party seats in the
Senate and the House from sugar producing
and coal producng States the Frcc-Tradc meas
urc passed by the House would have been re-
ported without any delay. The country must
wait because schemes to elect Democrats TO
office have not yet been maturcd
The question ut Washington has not been at
any time whether this or that change of duties
would be beneficial TO the country All the
time it has been whether this or that change
would help the party in one locality or an
other Senators who oppose this or that change
do not argue or introduce evidence TO prove that
il would be injurious To the public welfare
They have no time to waste with fcllowDcmo-
Gratis in that way. They merely serve notice
that they will vote against the bill If it Is so
framed as 10 hurt the party In their States
Concession has gone so far that it Is said coal
Senators from sugar-producing States demand
as the price of their support. that Il duty Of at
least H., cent per pound should be- placed on
raw sugar. to make up for the bounty which the
House bill would abolish So far the wool
growing States do not seem 10 have any de-
Tenders on the Democratic side. though II is
hard 10 see why the farmers should be- forced
10 face Free Trade with Australia if the coal
miners are 10 be protected against Nova Scotia
If Senators from this State. or Democratic Sen
ators from Ohio or Wisconsin, had the spirit
shown by those from coal-producng States,
possibly abolition Of duties on wool might also
be abandoned in order 10 get votes enough for
the bill
1t Is evident that Il measure framed under
such conditions Is likely to be In the last de-
