ELECTRICITY" the subject of
this grafton, was termed the
improvement of the present
age. Aside from it's different
lighting systems, it is fast
usurping the power of steam,
running factories, trains, furn-
ishing, and carrying thought.
Although electrical phenone-
ma were observed $500 years
ago the science has only been
recently known. The speaker
reviewed the experience of
Thales with amber, but claimed
that no advances were made
until Franklin, by his kite ex-
periments, proved that light

Greelyville, South Carolina, was slow

invalid. Her mother became anxious
and haggard in her frantic efforts to
save her daughter. None of her at
tempts to find a cure seemed of any
avail. AS stated in her own words:
"My daughter was taken sick some
time ago and [ tried many medicines
in vain. She was very weak, appetite
poor, bowels costive, and night sweats.
She appeared to be cold all the time.
Her nerves we're in bad condition.

from it's first discovery, togeth-
er with advances made in the
same by the leading chemists
from 1900 up to the present
time. He spoke of the works
of Humphrey Davy, of Newton,
of Laplace and Herschel, Priest
~ and Scheele, and of LaVos-
ier,w who was guillotined during
the Reign of Terror for being
a savant-of the discovery Of
Edward Jenner, who discov-
cred the method of inoccula-
ton with cow-pox, whereby
smallpox met it's first chemi-
cal and medical foe. He
thought the most important
of all chemical compounds to
be sulphuric acid that it stood
next to human food as a neces-
sity, and said that there was
not a product Of modern civil
cation in the manufacture of
which it is not directly or indi-
rectly used. Nearly a million
tons of it are made in Great
Britain alone. Our daily
bread is supplied by the acid
through the system of fertili-
zation. Glass, soap, sugar, etc,
are made from it, and it is en-
ployed in bleaching, dyeing,
printing, etc. Chemistry is
the life-blood of medicine,
pharmacy, etc.. the joy of the
housewife and domestic. It has
lightened labor and cheapened
living. It stands at the gate
way of human progress.
'Blot out chemistry and you would
at once plunge our boasted civilization
into darkness greater than the Dark
Ages"
RALEIGH E. JENNINGS.
The student spoke on "Liber-
ty.' He cited the Grecian
struggle for liberty, the throw
ing off of The Persian yoke, the
Turkish yoke, and said the end
was not yet. Rome has fallen
and in Italy the feeling of I'M
rest-liberty-was still mani
fest. France still struggles for
greater liberty. Germany strug-
giles for justice. England is
passing the stage of evolution,
and it was the love of liberty
that made our country take
her place among the nations Of
the world; that called the G..
A. r. into preserving the Union
and striking the shackles from
the slave. The speaker thought
our country excelled all others
in liberty, and that it was so
recognized by foreigners COM
ing to our shores and establish
ing their homes. -.
'No wonder that odd Glory is the
pride of soldiers and citizens, not
only because it is beautiful but because
it means greater liberty, greater OPP
portunity and greater power than any
other flag"
He advised protection of the
heaitage of the Revolution and
of the Civil War. He cautioned
the people against anarchists
and said that our country has
long been the refuge of. the
vicious and illiterate of every
land, increasing the danger
arising from the labor ques-
ton, and, the, money question.
The ignorant and lazy were the
worst foes of liberty in times
of peace and the honest, intelli-
gent people were = its best
friends.
Let the American citizen be the most
thoroughly instructed man in all the
world; let him be the best man and
then the old flag will symbolic in the
future as never in the pasta still
grander Republic and broader liberties.

years ago. He thought COM
merce was now entirely the
occupation of nation, and
paid a tribute to the Germans
by saying "that the secret of
their success is their applica-
ton of brains to business"
Germany furnished the worlds
best scholars, and England and
France were next. He thought
that Germany won the Franco
Prussian war by reason of her
generals and soldiers being
better educated than those OF
France.
The young man of to-day must be
alive to his opportunity. He must inn
proverbs mind in the midst of bust
ness. Time is his precious capital. He
must learn to invest it to the best pos
sible advantage. Should we inquire
into the secret of business mans sue
cess in our country, we should find it
to be here, too, brains applied to bust
mess The young man of to-day who
has learned the value of five minutes
of time is on the broad highway of
prosperity"

Turkish War Indemnity to Russia.

Russia has again allowed the sultan
to scale down the annual payment of
the Turkish war indemnity. In 1878 it
was contracted that Turkey should pay
f5s0,0O0 a year for 100 years; in 1892
Russia agreed to accept e 100000, and
now, on the principle of take what you
can get, she agrees to accept 25 per
cent. of the whole indemnity, and ex-
tends the payment over 400 years. Of
course, no Russian minister expects
Turkey to last four centuries more, but
that docs not trouble the car. When
the day of final liquidation comes to the
