Off to Charleston.

Many soldiers of the "Lost Cause" and
many of the editors OF the State are off to
Charleston tn is week, where all will no doubt
be royalty treated. No people on the face OF
the earth can entertain better than the people
Of Charleston.
This editor appreciates the fact that he was
elected delegate to the Confederate Veterans
and it would afford him pleasure to 60, If cir
cumstances permitted.
1t would also be pleasant to meet many OF
the brethren of the press and we have gener.
ally gone to their meetings in former years.
The editors in every State, we believe, have
organizations, and annual meetings are held.
These meetings are no doubt productive OF
m much good in cementing good fellowship
where the amenities and propritles OF jour-
nalism are observed, and in coming together
they may be benefited by the experiences
and observations OF the brethren.
The example, however, which Mr.. Dawson
set in former years Is still followed in South
Carolina. and thus it is that his evil example
lives after he no longer exists.
May all-Soldiers and Editors-have good
time, and may the good old City by the Sea
be well repaid for its kindly offices to the
country cousins. May peace and good fellow
ship fill every heart.

Neglecting His Business.

1t seems that Tillman is already neglecting
the business OF the high office to which the
people elected him. Instead Of remaining In
the Senate in Washington and looking after
the interests of the people, he is careering
around over the country making buncomb
speeches and talking to newspaper reporters.
II we are not mistaken he thought In 1880
that Wade Hampton ought to attend to the
business OF the people instead OF leaving
Washington and presuming to talk politics to
the people.
The people of the United States are paying
him about SIG every day in the year to sit In
the Senate. during It's session, but instead OF
doing so and rendering faithful service TO the
country, he is drawing his SIG daily while he
is gallivanting around making speeches and
threatening to bolt from the political party TO
which he Is indebted for his position.
The people should hold him to a strict ac.
coun liability. even as he held others up to
public gaze, and our people should see that he
does not become political tramp.

The RegistratiOn-The Pension.

There is not half the rush at the Registrars
Office, that there is at the pension office. The
pension office is crowded, and guard is
placed at the door. At the Registrars office
the surrounding is lonely, and its dreariness
reminds one of the quietness of q store that
does not advertise.
About 400 white men have registered, and
several negroes have applied for tickets. The
negroes are said to be reading and studying
the Constitution at night, so that they may
be ready to explain the uneXplainable intrica-
ces of that document.
There is a lamentable ignorance OF the law
governing the granting of pensions. The
pension law looks nice and fair on its face,
but there is many provision by which the
soldier must be knocked out. The Legisa'
ture did not deal with all in the same manner
and 1t Is quite probable that those who are
knocked out do not see the justice Of denying
them while giving to another class who are
not more deserving. Those who were
knocked out by the last Legislature should
look TO their own interest In the future. we
need a Legislature that will deal out faVors
fairly. and not make fish OF one and flesh OF
another. The last Legislature had some
shortcomings, but none were more garing
and none were committed with less reason
than that which Disseminated against pa.
triotic soldier because he is not sixty years OF
age. The great State ofSouth Carolina should
treat all her children with impartiality.

More Missionary Troubles.

The Baptist missionary Diaz in Cuba has
been thrown into prison, and the home folk
are greatly disconnected thereat.
For our own part, we have very little SYM
pathy for missionaries who 60 abroad trying
TO force their religion on an unwilling people.
When the Mormon missionaries come TO
Christian communities and begin TO preach
their doctrine, they do not get respectful and
kind treatment from US.
In q land OF Bibles, Christian love, and a
sweet civilization these Mormon missionaries
are sometimes beaten, and sometimes killed
by mobs. If we with all our religion aud civ
ilization thus rudely treat people who are try
ing to spread their religion, what are we TO
expect from people whom we regard as less
civilized?
People will fight about their religion, and II
pestiferous missionaries come to grief at
home or abroad, we do not intend to give our
self any deep concern. We shall not lose any
sleep about the matter. People who inter-
meddle with other peoples religion are not
generally richly rewarded in this world.

Anniversary.

Today-Aprll 2, 1s96-is exactly twenty
eight years since the first No. OF the Christian
Neighbor was issued. Fifty-two numbers
have been issued each and every year since
that time.
From the beginning to the present the pa
per has been an advocate Of peace versus war.
Peace forever, war never.
The Neighbor's advocacy of peace for these
years has not been as emphatic and constant
as the importance of the subject demanded,
convictions Of loyalty to the Prince OF peace,
nor of the journalists duty toward the hu-
man family.
Excepting the proprietor, no human can
know what the continued publication of the
Neighbor has cost, not only on account OF de-
linquent subscribers, but in contending with
the Indifference and blindness of the masses
of the people as to the teaching OF the Chris
tian Scriptures on peace and war.
So demoraliZed and detected were many
church members after the war that their re.
ligion had too much of the war spirit remain
ing TO give the ca use of peace a fair and pa
tient hearing. Probably, in the proportion Of
numbers, this anti-peace spirit was prevalent
among men who had not been In the late war
than It was among those who had been in the
war and knew from experience what war
was, and what war is-"the sum OF all villa

Let all the friends of peace join with the ed
itor In thanksgiving 10 the God Of peace, and

we would from now until then, proclaim,

Some Uses of Eggs.

A raw egg, swallowed Immediately,
is very effective in removing a fish
bone which has become lodged in the
throat. The white of an egg is an ex-
cellent application for burn. If
mustard is mixed with the white of an
egg, a blister will seldom follow the
application of the plaster.
Hoarseness and tickling in the throat
are relieved with the gargle of the
white of an egg beaten, to froth with
a tumblerful of warm sweetened
water.
If the yolks of eggs are well beaten
and a little flour sifted over the top,
they will keep for day or two; but
leave the whites nnbeaten, if not used
at once.
An old but very effective remedy
for an obstinate cough is to place two
or three whole eggs in very strong
vinegar (boiled down to increase the
strength if necessary. In three or
four days the acid will have consumed
the shells. Beat the mixture well and
thicken with honey. Take two table,
spoonfuls before each meal.
The yolk of an egg is q very good
substitute for cream in coffee, and Will
answer for three cups.
A raw egg beaten with a little pull
verized sugar, half the quantity Of
cream or milk, is excellent for con-
valescents or elderly people: Very
sick people can sometimes eat the yolk
of hard. boiled egg when the white
cannot be eaten with safety.
The skin of boiled egg, moistened
and applied to boil, will caused sup
puration and relieve soreness in few
hours. 1t is also an excellent applica-
ton for a sty or infamed eye-lids.
A plaster composed of the yolk OF an
egg and salt will often relieve Pleurlsy,
kidney, and neuralgia pains.

Captain Carter's Monkey.

Captain Carter, who lived in Wash
ington, D. c.. when Oh land, had a
great fancy for fine fowls, and among
bis collection priced fine old king
gobbler. Or his last cruise he brought
home q mischievous young monkey,
which gave him so much trouble it
was good deal like an elephant on his
hands. One day, hearing terrible
squawking in the hennery, the captain
found Jocko with king gobbler under
his arm, while he was deliberately pull
ling out poor birds last tail feather.
The captain rescured the turkey, and
punished the monkey severely, who
knew very we'll why he was chastised.
The next day, again hearing a COM
motion among the feathered tribe,
he went to the scene of action. and
there sat Jacko with the much persecu-
ted gobbler between his knees, while
he was trying to put the feathers back.
His intentions were good, but the
turkey did not appreciate them.

A few days ago In one of the tiourishing
towns of this state, a contemporary published
the fact that It's local competitor was one of
the best newspapers in the state. Thereupon
the said competitor reprinted the statement
with q broad smile and full credit.-Pickens
Sentinel.
We do not know to whom our good brother
refers, but why the wonder that any brother
editor should treat his competitor fairly and
kindly. 1t is certainly more pleasant and
more profitable to be little courteous than
to be swapping and snarling at neighbor.
No editor has yet gained anything by try.
ing to injure the business or good name of his
competitor. We see no reason why com
petitor might not be ones best friend.

It is important that every woman
should know how the woolen Winter
underwear should properly be washed.
The timehonored joke that the fathers
new Winter fiannels will fit baby next
year approaches so closely to the truih
that some of us can hardly smile at it.
Probably, however, in the hands OF the
average washer the allWolo fabric
will be converted into material so stih
and so boardlike that baby would re.
sent its touching his tender skin.
Flannels should be soaked for several
hours in water made soft by the addl-
tion of a teaspoonful of boraX to
each gallon of liquid. The water in
which the woollens are washed must
be warm, but not hot, and to it is added
large spoonful of ammonia. A
strong suds is made of some mild soap.
and the tiannels are put in and washed
at once. AS soon as they are clean
thew NAV be transferred to rinsing-wa-
ter of the same temperature as that
from which they have just been taken.
They should be pressed between the
hands to remove the superduous water,
but must never be wrung. Ii properly
washed, they are now white ana sou,
and must be hung up at once until
almost dry, when they are rapidly
ironed. In bright, sunny weather
thew can he dried out-of-doors but
if the weather is damp, so that process
NAV he protracted, or if the tempera-
ture is at the freezing-point, they
are best kept indoors to dry. They
NET NOT he allowed to become so dry
as 10 require a second dampenlng
Flannels thus washed should be so
soft and pliable through two seasons
wear as to make them amply repay the
owner for the high price such gsr-
ments cost.

"Lend A Hand"
When Where? &?

When? Where?
To-day, tomorrow, every day, just
where you are.
You have heard OF the girl who sat
down and sighed the morning hours
away longing to he missionary and
help somebody, while her mother was
toiling in the kitchen and looking
after three little children at the same
time. Perhaps your mother has serv.
ants in the kitchen, but you can lend
her hand all the same. You can find
a place to help brother, or sister, or
friend, and you can help everybody in
the house by your patient, kind, oblig-
ing spirit, sin honor preferiDg one
another" self-forgetful, and mindful of
others.
1t seems very little thing to "lend
a hand" in these quiet home ways,
but if you could see the record the
angels make of such day, you would
see that it was very great thing.
Boys, girls, watch eagerly your
chance. Don't be cheated out of your
happy privilege. It is great, noble,
blessed thing to be ahle to "help lit
tle," no matter how little 1t may be.
