"Elattery."

Dr. Bays delivered the first annual address
before the Winthrop graduating class. The
address was an able and learned speech. His
text is quoted as follows:
Favor is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but
a woman that feareth the Lord shall be praiS-
ed."
Dr. Bays began by saying that the words
rendered favor should be rendered fiat
terry" Hence We shall have 1t "Flatery is
deceitful and beauty Is vain"
Or. Bays. like great many other learned
divines, found fault with the translation, and
then put q strained construction on the inject
ed word "dattery."
There is no word truer or better than the
word favor which was used by the transla-
tors who we believe. were chosen for the
work by King James because OF their great
learning. Favor Is deceitful." The English
toungue can make no sentence which is
purer language or truer sentiment. "Favor
is deceitful.'
"Flattery" is different or doubtful word,
which has a multiplicity OF meanings. or
shades OF meanings "Flattery" does not ne
cessarily mean deceltful. At present, for In
stance, the prospects for good crop are fiat
tering."
A young man who has ability, good habits,
and high integrity begins business and has a
"fiattering" prospect before him.
A young man "flatters" himselfthat he may
find in his sweetheart woman that feareth
the Lord" and he may or may not win the
prize.
The Standard Dictionary quotes: "a man
whom 1t Is proper to praise cannot be flatter-
ed, and man who can be flattered ought not
to be praised"
asking their advise
The books set down tiatterer as one who
seeks favor by adulaton, fawning, or other
form of complimentary speech.

The Nomination.

on the first page of this paper, may pe
found some notes Of the Republican nominal'
ing convention at st. Louis.
The platform OF that party Is unequl'o'
cally in favor Of gold standard and prolec-
tive tariff Both these planks Will commend
themselves TO the people.
If the Democratic nominating convention
at Chicago should adopt the pewter dollar
platform, 1t will simply commit suicide NO
political party which seeks to impose upon
the country q deprecated currency deserves
TO succeed. No political party that seeks tC
disturb values unsettle business, and bring
distress and ruin 10 the people can succeed.
The only hope OF the Democratic party
rests in the abandoning Of the Populist doc
trine OF jO-cents. dollar. If that party goes
before the country with any platform that
means destruction to all the best interests OF
the country its defeat is sure.
But the Democratic leaders OF this country
are not foolish enough TO commit any such
mistake. They will let Tillman ana al fop'
ulists withdraw from the Dem ocratic conFen-
tion before they will consent to go before Tue
country with platform pledged 10 tne nnan
cial ruin of the country. 1t Is not at all pro-
bable that the Populists can engraft their doc
trine on the National Democratic party, as
they have done in South Carolina.
AS between McKinley-protective tariff and
honest money-and the Populstic demand
for cheap money the people Of the country
will not hesitate 10 choose. The best element
of the Democratic party in the United States
would renounce their allegiance to party
which demands the destruction Of all our
best interests.
Protection and good money wonld set in
motion all our wheels of industry. give en-
ployment and good wages in good money TO
laborers OF all kinds, while cheap money and
no protection would shut up all OF our manu-.
factories, throw mechanics and laborers out
OF employment, bring starvation to the poor
and ruin to the rich.
The evils which would follow the election
of Populists to power and place cannot be
foretold, and we really see no reason to be-
lieve, or 10 fear, that such calamitous result
is at all probable, or even possible.
The Democratic party may preserve its or
ganization by repudiating the Populist de-
mand for cheap money, but If 1t goes over
body and soul to the destructionists, It's doom
is sealed,

The SANDER which has gone abroad
against the State officials in the matter of re-
funding the State has been fully refuted, and
the officers have shown up their maligners in
a way which should be gratifying to lovers Of

Nobody in this State who Is not moved by

have been made.

WOOD FRAMES DEAD.
Ode 10 Kerr's AII.Steel Spring.

Dear Buyer list to what we say,
Nor tare your patient ear away,
Hear we'll (and profit while you may)
Our simple song OF all-steel springs,
whereon TO lay.
Our all-steel beds are known so we'll
There's little new for US to tell.
While others "stick," these always sell,
And hence we chant of wood frame springs
the sad death-knell.
This cleanest, lightest, strongest spring,
AS brilliant black as ravens wing,
Sweet balmy sleep to eyelids bring,
And thus the death Of wood frame springs
we loudly sing.
The wearied one. with oer-wrought brain
The sick and suffering, wrecked with paln-
Will seek for springs like these, In vain.
These chant the death OF wood frame springs
In loudest strain.
No bloody-minded Insect dread
Can flourish on this perfect bed,
Not even ONE from foot TO head.
This fact alone should class the wood frames
with the dead.
Conclusion (au Naturel.)
Who seeks for calm and sweet respose.
In slumber deep, or quiet doZe,
Buys all-steel springs, and only those
or Kerr's make-wood-frames are dead,
the whole world knows.

Swear by the Kaiser.

The German kaiser certainly has the
faculty of making himself popular with
his youthful subjects. Here Is a story
from Dresden illustrative of this. The
emperor was returning from his morn
ing ride up the Tannus strasse on re-
cent visit to the Saxon capital, when a
small boy with pack of books swung
over his shoulders, ran up to his i'm
perial majesty and yelled at the top of
his voice: Zach, Herr Kaiser, do let us
have a holiday tomorrow ia, ja,"
came the imperial response, and, laugh
ing ut the schoolboy's petition, the
kaiser rode on. But on the morrow
when the boys of Dresden went to their
several schools they were told that in
response to a petition made to the en-
peror by one Of them his imperial
majesty had been pleased to grant them
a holiday, and, with three cheers for
the kaiser, they were at liberty to go
on their way rejoicing.

a blooming As at that.
True, her hair was silver, but what
a waving wealth of silver! And it
was not sent to soften wrinkles either.
She >wore as many of these ornaments
as it is legitimate to wear at AS, and
no more. Oh, she was certainly a
wonderful woman for her age, was
Mrs. Joseph Allestree!
Quaint, indeed, she appeared, par
tlcularly on a certain evening, stand
ing in the old square portico, with the
sun shining straight under the trees
into her face.
The house at her back was low and
long. 1t stood endwise to the lazy lit
tie river that flowed at the foot of the
abruptly sloping lawn. On the other
side, at the end of long, shady av-
enue, was gate with an old-fashioned
wooden arch over it, concealed by
vines.
1t was toward this gate that Mrs. AL
lestree looked, leaning forward eager
ly, like a girl, one hand shielding her
eyes from the level sunbeams. She
wore white-think of her daring to
wear white! She was watching for
Joseph. He had gone down to Stone
ton-only mile distant-for the
post at o'clock. That was
two hours ago. Joseph did love dearly
to gossip with the old farmers and
shopkeepers. but he really ought to re-
member dinner time.
But Joseph had not forgotten his
dinner. AT this very minute the gate
opened and his little gig rolled in, fol-
lowed by three enthusiastic dogs-a
ST Bernard and two red settlers.
Mr.. Allestree. after embracing his
wife as If he had just returned from a
years journey, went in with her to
