4Nok eAo
The mcnotony of our usually quiet
town was pleasantly interrupted on
last Thursday afternoon by the peal
of sweet marriage bells in north Bum
combe, where at the residence Of Mr..
and Mrs. r. Ii. Minis, number of
friends and relatives gathered to wit
ness the ceremony which joined two
young lives in the bonds Of wedlock.
Mr.. Z. j. Norris and Miss Belle
Minis were married at 6 80 O'Clock, DIR.
Luther 6 Gwaltney pastor of our 5Bap-
tist church officiating. This wedding
was intended to be quiet one, but
while in one sense it might be said to
have followed this intention, there was
quite stir in town, for all were in
terested IN such an important event in
our social circles, and one concerning
so vitally two of our most popular
young people. Miss Belle Minis
known so favorably as one of the most
fascinating and amiable young ladies
of Edgetield, has combined in herself
the peculiar graces of an ancestry
noted on both sides for their unusual
intellectually, only surpassed by their
noble qualities of heart. There has
never been bride in Edgetield who
has had more of the good wishes and
kindly feelings OF the community
than Mrs. Norris.
Mr.. f. j. Norris, since his residence
in .Edgetleld for some years past, has
been known as one of our most genial
and popular merchants, one OF the few
for whom all had word of commen-
dation. Numberless congratulations
and encouraging hopes for the future
happiness and success of these young
people is the universal acclaim from
all Edgefield.

SENATOR HILL AND THE SALOONS.
The Altruistic Review for August has
a spicy letter of the Tribune addressed to
Senator Hill. In the course of it the
Tribune says:
'sIs it against the law, David, or against
its enforcement that you have risen up in
this heated manner and with such flux of
language? Say, David What do you
think about law? What is it for? Do you
think it is a safe thing to do-to say
nothing of public morals or common
honesty-do you think it is safe thing
to do, considering how all the interests
of the community are concerned in it
to pass a law, say, against theft simply
to please persons who don't like to be
robbed, and then to give people who pur-
sue theft as an occupation to understand
that it was only passed as sop to Puri-
tanical bigots and will not be enforced
Is it safe, David-simply safe-to permit
any law to be violated with impunity?
No matter what the law is-one is just as
binding as another-what do you think
about it?o

| The Belgian Chamber of Representa-
tiyes, in passing the school bill making
religious education compulsory, has
probably doomed that country to a con-
tinuance of a struggle that has already
lasted about twenty years OF course by
compulsory religious education, Catholic
education is meant, for among
the five or six millions of Belgians
there are hardly twenty thousand Protes-
tants. The contest over religious and
secular schools is not, therefore, in Bel
gium, a contest between Catholics and
Protestants 1t is rather contest be-
| tween the bigotry that has survived from
the days of the Duke of Alva, and the
modern liberalism which appeals to the
moderate Catholics of that country. In
1872 law was passed in Belgium vesting
the control of State schools to a large ex-
tent in the clergy. About twenty years
ago a great agitation arose against this
law, and the liberal party finally passed
the act of 1879, which provided that re-
ligious instruction should form no part of
the regular lessons but that the priests
might have the buildings for that pur-
pose after school hours. This law caused
the greatest bitterness. The priests ar
rayed all the influence they could COM
mand against it. They used the great
wealth of the church to bring the ,chuich
schools up to a high state of efficiency, in
order to compete with the excellent secu-
lar schools which were established
throughout the country by the govern
ment. The bitterness of the conflict was
such that in some places conservatives
and liberals would hold no communica-
tion with one another. Bloody riots were
frequent. From 1879 until the present
time there has been almost constant
agitation against the secular schools. In
routed, and the conservatives, or Cleri-
Gals, were returned to power. This was
apparently the result of a change in the
qualification OF electors, which broad
ened the suffrage Every man twenty
five years or over in age, has one. vote,
certain persons of other classes, like large
tax payers, priests, etc., have an addi-
tional vote each. The peasant classes are
devoted followers of the priests, and their
influence is now felt more than before.
The liberal defeat was severe and the
priests have taken advantage of it to Sc
cure a law even more to their liking than
was that of 1842. 1t is not likely that the
spirit of liberalism will acquiesce in 1.-The
new law

Later reports from London give fuller
accounts of the recent International Con-

the Southern polar regions was SO forci-

named Borchgrevinck gave an interesting

Polar continent, which he thinks is eight
million square miles in extent, or twice
as large as Europe. He sailed south of
Possession Island in a small steamer, and
in "a deg latitude sighted new prom

then retreated a little way north to Cape

. Tho case of Maria Barberi, the italian
girl of New York who murdered her be-
trayer, has aroused much sympathy. The
jury found her guilty of murder, and the
judge sentenced her. to the electric chair.
ButIpublic sentiment in this country has
always been strong against executing a
woman, as was shown in this State in
the case of Mrs. Barrows, convicted of be-
ing the instigator of the Kittery murder.
In addition, Maria Barberi was laboring
under..the distraction of a grievous wrong;
and this has also aroused much sympathy.
1t would be surprising if Governor Nor
ton should not commute the death penal
ty. But that the girl will be liberated,
as some of the petitioners pray, is hardly
probable. She undoubtedly committed a
murder. as the jury found; and society
in the Northern States does not recognize
murder as justilable under any circum-
stances.

Considerable attention has been at
traeted to paper read before the United
States Naval Institute by Constructor r.
P. Hobson, in which he prophesied the
near overthrow of England by Russia and
France. He finds that for brief period
in 1896, the standard naval tonnage OF
England, as compared with her two ene-
mics, will be as to 1871 Therefore he
thinks that France and Russia will take
the opportunity to attack England, un-
less the recent rise of Japan as a naval
power, shall modify the situation. But
as compared with the sailors of France,
at least the sailors of England may be
relied on to make up any deficiency of
twenty one hundredths in naval tonnage
And it is not probable that the Russians
are any superior to the English.
