Fay the Preachers.

Mr.. EDITOR: fear when many read
the above line they will pass it by unno-
ticed, but let me beg that all will read
and consider it well. Said gentleman
to me the other day: Pm out hunting
money for the preacher" "Well," ! !
said, "God speed you to great success"
The past Sabbath was q bleak. chilly,
rainy Novem Der day; yet the Rev. W.
B. Gordon, who lives several miles out,
filled his appointment in the morning, and
in the afternoon the Rev. Mr.. Brabham
came in the rain to fill his. And the
thought occurred to me, as the preachers
are thus going to and fro in the rain and
cold, show many lay people are sitting
around warm, comfortable fresides2"
think the first debt we pay is due the
preacher, for the laborer is worthy of bis
hire, and certainly none moro than the
preachers. How few seem to think that
when we are in trouble and distress, and
lose our loved ones, the first thing we
want is our pastor, and when the matri-
monial knot has to be tied, again the first
thing is the preacher. So let everyone
pause and think, what holy necessity
the preacher really is. know there are
times when people are prevented from
attending church by sickness, or various

always there, through thick and thin,
and you can always find some time or
other to give or send the preacher bis
dues. Pay the preacher though the
heavens fall" He has to live, and think
ye, howl I heard not long ago that a
pastor had resigned. asked why. And
the reply was: Couldn't collect his
salary, had nothing to buy bread with.
So if another pastor should come he, too,
might be forced to resign for the same
reason. Therefore, why call pastor
wear and tear, not only upon the good
man himself, but on his horse, his buggy,
his spiritl Think of his wife and little
ones, all depending on that small prom
ised salaryl I believe If this is read with
the kind spirit that has prompted it the
preachers are going to be paid better.
Let's hope 80, if no more. Pay the
preachers what you promised them !

The Hotel Chiuuola.

Mr.. II. g. Middleton, of the Augusta
Chronicle, who spent two days in Ander-
sou the first of last week, In an article in
that paper urging the citizens of Augusta
to build fue hotel in that city, speaks OF
the Hotel Chiquola as follows:
"Very apropos of this subject is what I
have been long wishing for an opportunity
to do-to pay deserved tribute to the
brave and far seeing people of Anderson
in the construction Of their beautiful hotel,
the "Chiquoa Anderson Is a little city
of five thousand inhabitants, yet they have
in great public spirited manner built
hotel which, In comparison tc population,
is as far ahead of Augusta in the hotel line
as Baltimore is Of Augusta in population.
It is an eye opener to the stranger and puts
Anderson away up in his estimation This
hotel cost S65, 900. Let's see-at that rate
Augusta would have to spend half mil
lion in hotel to equal the work of the
little city of Anderson. This hotel Is one
of the best investments Anderson has ever
made. Travellers 90 many miles to stop
here. The fame of the hotel Is kno Wn
throughout South Carolina and Anderson
has become one Of the "Convention towns"
OF South Carolina.
The hotel was built by stock company
composed Of the business men Of Anderson
in 1890. It is tall-four stories In height
built of brick and stone. The ceilings
are tall and heavy with beautiful wood
work, in oil finish The grand portechere
and main entrance Is supported by light,
lofty columns of Tennessee marble. The
house is elegantly furnished, with heavy
carpets and ruga, and much of the finest
leather covered and upholstered furniture.
The dining o nm is finer than that Of the
Arlington. though about half as large
The hotel has fifty rooms, every one open
ing upon the outside" Electric lights
and electric bells with hot and cold baths
are throughout the house. The interior
deslgn and arrangement are most charm.
ing The people OF Anderson also see that
the hotel Is conducted year after year in
manner to fully comport with the style
originally planned.
Augusta may take lesson from Ander-
son. IfAugusts should build hotel to be
proportionate to the hotel the business
men of Anderson have built, sizes of the
two towns considered, Augusta would have
to spend at least half million dollars on
the hotel she proposes.

The Winter Truck Crop.

Anyone who visits the depots Of the
Plant system and the Atlantic Coast Line
will notice the enormous amount of truck
produce which is handled there. Most of
It comes from Florida. The farmers there
are making up in measure what has
been lost on the orange crop by the freeze
of last winter. Large quantities of Flori-
da truck are being sent North every day
and the products are finding ready mar
ket. Charleston, as we'll as other Sec
tions, hus finger in the pie, agrest many
crates of beans being shipped from right
around the city.
Florida, however, has been shipping
beans, peas, cucum bers, and some few
tomatoes. They are coming from all sec
tions Of the State and the Southern E1-
press Company, fast freight and steam
ship lines are carrying many crates Of
them through Charleston daily. The
Florida crops were planted 80 as to ma
ture about December 1, or shortly before
that date, 30 the shipments are becoming
heavier every day. The truck Is all in
good condition and commands excellent
prices.
This is the first time that such large
shipments of truck have been made at
this season since 1889, and the fact that
they are made now is attributable largely
to the failure of the orange crop. The
Charleston truckers as we'll as the Flori-
dams have had good returns and they
will doubtless try the experiment again.

An Elephant in Hampton.


HAMPTON, S. c., Nov. 21.-An elephant
of the largest type has appeared in these
parts. It passed through this place Tues
several Of the most prominent citizens by
it's cries. 1t then proceeded to Varnville
two miles below here, where it disturbed
several citizens and then went further on
toward Almeda, but between the two
places attacked a party of opossuln
hunters and they fled. The noise which
it made was enough for them. When it
reached Almeda it was shot some thirty
odd times by the employees of the South
ern Land and Lumber company. They
used all the ammunition they had and
could do no more. 1t knocked man
down at that place with its trunk and It
away and proceeded southward.-Special

Europe Is Eating Horse.

Europe has taken to eating its horses
for the same reason that it took to eating
potatoes, against which it had great
prejudice hundred years ago-it is bound
TO do it or 90 short of flesh food.
Gradually the European press is edu-
eating the popular mind out of it's preju-
dice on this matter, The taste of roast
horse flesh is very similar to that of roast
beef. The fat is much more palatable
than that Of pork. If horse has been
fed on oats, his sirloin, while cooking,
gives off an odor similar to that of a goose
In the same process. 1t is to the further
credit of the horse flesh that it is never
made dangerous by trichinosis and
tuberculosis, which very often infect cat
tie, but hardly ever attack horses.
Oh, no; the future Of the horse is not at
all doubtful. He is not going to disappear
from the earth. There is plenty of room
for him at the race track, for general
pleasure purposes, and as a spoiled darl-
ing of society; and as for the plain horse,
there will be plenty of room for him by
and by at the dinner table.-Neao York

The Legend Of the Breeches.

Who will wear the breeches, the hus-
band or the wife? That is the grave
problem which is presented and repre-
sented in many households. The man
naturally wants to preserve this attribute
of virility, but the woman, forgetting the
vows that she made at the altar, frequent
ly endeavors to capture this problem of
authority in the home. The struggle is
sometime long and bitter, and the ardor
Of the combatants Is easily understood
when one thinks Of the precious prize
that is to be handed over to the victor.
To be master or servant, that is the ques-
ton.
The singular metaphor, always used in
the plural sense, is to be found in all
languages, and it goes back to the thir-
teenth century, when Hugues de Plau-
cele wrote the queer legend, "Sire Hahn
ct Dame Anieuse."
Sire Hahn was a tailor, and was the
most patient of men. Unfortunately for
him, his wife was capricious and afflicted
with an ungovernable temper.
At last the tailor got out Of patience.
ITO. morrow morning." he said, I will
throw my breeches down into the yard
whichever one of us succeeds in recover
ing them first will be the boss of the
house," Dame Anieuse accepted the
challenge with delight, and invited her
neighbor Simon and her friend, Mrs.
Aupais, to be the judges of the combat.
At the appointed time the mbatauts
appeared in the yard, and the struggle
for the breeches began. It was long
battle, and the description Of 1t given by
the poet occupies no less than 1S0 verses.
Dame Anieuse came very near capturing
the prize, but in the Struggle she tum-
bled into big basket and got fastened in
1t, with her feet In the air. She cried for
assistance, but the husband took advan-
tage of her unexpected position and put
on the breeches, or, rather. what remain
ed of them, for the precious garment had
suffered considerably in the melee.
The judges declared that the wife was
conquered; but she was not willing to
yield until they threatened to leave her
in her unenviable position.
Ever afterwards she was an obedient

Sucked in by the Southern.

GREENWOOD, s. c., Nov. 20.-The Port
Royal d Western Carolina system of rail-
roads was sold here to-day under order OF
the United States Court, by Major Theo.
G. Barker, special master.
The proceedings were very simple and
businesslike but were watched with
silent and intense interest by number
Of Greenwood people who had never be-
fore seen an auction sale running up into
the millions of dollars. Major Barker
was on the platform at the depot at noon
and proceeded to read the published order
of sale, which was the longest part of tbs
entire process. He then called for bids
for the Augusta & Knoxville road.
Nobody seemed to desire this property,
and the Port Royal & Western Carolina
outfit was then offered. There were no
bids. Then the entire property of both
was put on the block. John w. Hutch
inson, Jr., announced that he would give
S2,650,0O0 for it. He was called on for a
certified check to make his bid good and
promptly produced and handed 1t up.
Nobody bettered his bid even by a dollar.
Therefore, after due and legal amount
of crying the property was knocked
down.
Mr.. Hutchinson bid 1t in for Samuel
Thomas aud Thomas F. Ryan, of New
York, which being translated means the
Southern Railway Company.-Special to

Horrible Accident.

Last Tuesday evening, while with a
party on fishing expedition out on
Beaverdam creek, Messrs. Hughes Nc
Even and Jim Roberts were seriously
and probably fatally injured by the ex-
plosion Of a dynamite cartridge.
Nobody saw how the accid happened,
the fret any one knowing Of it was when
their attraction was attracted by the ex-
plosion of the cartridge. They then saw
the two men fall apart to the ground.
They were taken 10 the home of the
Misses Carithers at Goss, a station four
miles above Elberton on the E. A. L. r.
R., and Drs. Matthews and johnson, OF
Eiberton, and DR.. Gaines, of Dewy Rose,

Both of Mr.. Roberts eyes were put
out, and his face and body badly mutila-
ted and both hands blown completely off.
Mr.. McEwen's right hand was blown
off and his right eye blown out. His face
was also terribly torn and bruised.
& The physicians were with the suffering
patients all Tuesday night, and amputa-
ting both of Mr.. Roberts hands and the
thumb and three front fingers on Mr..
McEwen's, attentively watched every
symptom. Wednesday morning they
were both alive, and while they were ap-
parently doing well, the physicians are

WINSsBoRo. S. c., Nov. 25.-Rumor
reached town today that negro woman
named Patsie Jackson had been brutally
murdered in the Flint Hill section. The
facts as far as could be gathered, are
these: On Saturday, Patsie was working
in her field, when three other negro wo-
men came up and got into quarrel with
her. Two of them, it is alleged, held
Patsie, while the third cut her in several
places with razor. These facts were
gathered from the father Of the dead wo-
man. Your reporter could not ascertain
the names of the assailants. No arrests
have been made up to this time, but
search is being made for the parties.-
