HEAVEN AND HE'LL.
Various Theories As To The
Location of Paradise and
Hades.

| He'll and heaven beliefs hat
their origin about the year I5'
Is. { and since that time there
have been thousands of attempt:
to locate these places, the one o.
future punishment and the one
of everlasting happiness The
old mediaeval idea of hell is the
one which gives us to unher>
stand that the devil and his imps
have their furnaces and their
caldrons and other articles of
internal utility constantly work
ing somewhere within the bow
els Of the earth. On the other
hand, we are told aud believe
that heaven is an abode of light,
beauty and joy, located far above
the earth. One writer believes
that heaven will be On a planet
which will be prepared for the
saints in the last day, and an
other believes that this earth,
burned over and purified by fire,
will be the final resting place of
those who escape the horrors of
perpetual punishment in the
hell that has been prepared "for
those who love sim" DR.. Whit
son, the friend of Sir Isaac New
ton, and the first of the great
raze Of "speculative astrono>
mers," believes that hell is 10
Gated on comet.
But the most curious theory
we have ever investigated was
that advanced by DR.. Mortimer,
author of The Spirit of God as
Fire" One of the several substi-
tutes of this remarkable book
was one which gave the reader
to understand that the author
believed that heaven is located
on the inner globe of the suE
This substitute was "The Globe
Within the Sun Our Heaven"
According to Mortimer's theory,
our sun is surrounded by an en-
velope or photosphere flame
1000 miles Itself. Taken al
together, this idea Of the photo
sphere is vast non-luminous
void. Farther on is the great
globe Of the sun itself.
Taken altogether, this idea of
the sun may be aptly compared
to peach or plum. The en~
velope of flame occupies the
place on the skin, the "vast non
luminous void' the place of the
meat of the fruit and the central
globe (true SUM the place OF the
seed. On this sun globe, inside
the great fiery envelope, DR..
Mortimer believed heaven to be
situated. The atmosphere or
envelope of fire he took to be
hell or the place of future pun
ishment for the wicked. The
"non- luminous void," according
to Mortimer, is the "great gulf
between,' which is mentioned
quite frequently in the scrip~
lures. st. Louis Republic.

Public Schools.

Superintendent Mebane, of
the public schools of ihe State,
has issued a circular regarding
the better attendance of the
schools, and in the last clause
he says II am in favor of bet>
ter schools, better teachers, more
earnest, honest efforts to cause
them to be attended by our chill
dren, and then, if, after we have
good schools, the people will
not send their children, | shall
be in favor of compulsory edu-
ca ion."

RAPE At COLUMBIA n. c.
Com mitted on the Person
Of Berta Camack, a
white girl 15years
of Age.
GEO. ROUGHTON IN JAIL.
Public Opinion is Divided
as to Roughton's guilt
or innocence.

George Roughton, whit.
man about 22 years of age, wa:
lodged in Tyrrcll county Jail a
Columbia, N. c., last Monday
to await trial, charged with the
crime of rape, committed on The
person of Bertha Canack, a
white girl about IS years Of age
Bertha Camack is a half-witted
paryletic, of very humble birth
and circumstances, and accord
ing to her statement, she was
alone in the house of the woman
with whom she lived, when
George Roughton came into the
house where she was, and she
having repulsed him and re>
fused to grant his indecent re-
quest, he forcibly carried her in
to the bedroom and accom-
plished his devilish purpose.
She says she screamed, but there
being no neighbors nearer than
500 yards no one heard her.
Upon the return of the woman
with whom she lived she irime>
diately told her, but was cau>
toned by her not to tell it TN.
til the Superior Court came
The crime was committed on
August Sth, and Immediately
afterwards George Roughton
disappeared. but was arrested
upon his reappearance Oh the
2Ist when the news Of the crime
was made public.
The prisoner now denies ever
having SeNudl knOWledgc Ol Tie
prosecutrix, but there are rus
mors to the effect that OH the
preliminary hearing before the
magistrate he admitted this He
made a break for liberty from
the TAILOR, which was unsuccess-
full, but the jailor had his arm
badly bitten by him.
There is no fear of a lynching
bee, and public opinion is about
equally divided as to his guilt or
innocence.

Don't Wait So Long.

Why reserve the kind words
of love until the dear one is gone
and cannot hear them? Why
not give your friend the flowers
while they are fresh and sweet,
and not wait to lay them on his
tomb? While he is struggling
with adversely and is cast down
by disappointment speak the
words of affection you will want
to say when he lies cold on his
bier. Grasp his hand while it is
warm with the pulse of life and
can feel the pressure of your
own. When his heart is still in
death, it cannot feel joy Or sor>
row, and a friend is no nearer
than a stranger. Alas! how bitter
the memory of unkind worls
spoken in haste, that have pierced
the poor heart like a thorn, and
left a painful sting behind.
Could we recall our loved ones
tha. have gone from us, how we
would try to comfort hem!
What endearing terms we tould
use! But they will never return.
Their lips are sealed in silence,
and their ears hear not the voice
of love, of praise OR of blame
Then speak the words of SYM
pathy now while they are with
you. Be kind and gentle to the
little ones. They are with you
to-day, tomorrow they sleep
under the daisies. "Be ye kind

Origin of the Civil-Service Law

A correspondent is informed
that the civil-sercice law owes
its existence to the exertions oil
the late Senator Pcndleton,
Democrat, of Ohio. 1t was he
that secured the enactment ol
the law during the revulsion OF
feeling against the spoils system
that followed the assassination OF
President Garfield, OF ONO.
Guiteau, the assassin, became
excited over the ConkingrPlatt
contest with President Garfield
about distribution Of the othces
in New York, and it was felt at
Washington, after the assasslna>
ton, that something should be
done to abate the scandal o.
Office mongering after each pres
idential election. Senator Pend
Teton conducted the civil service
bill through the Senate and se>
ured its success. President
Arthur first applied it, extending
it to about 5000 federal Offices.
It's application was enlarged by
Presidens Cleveland and Harrl>
son-chieAy the forner-tlll now,
with President McKinley's re
cent extension, it includes near
ly the whole civil service to
which it can be conveniently
applied.

4 vagrant Arrested.

A young negro tramp, who
gave his name as Frank Brown,
applied at Marshal J. D. William S
residence Saturday night for
something to eat. He was prompt
ly arrested as a very suspicious
character and taken to the lock-
up. just before entering the door
OF the cooler, he was seen to slip a
large package of food from his
pocket, as this would have been
evidence that he was not begging
from actual hunger. Several
cases of stealing and other at
tempts have recently been made
and it is thought this fellow is
one of the gang. He was tried
before the mayor this morning
and fined $500 and cost, not hav-
ing the cash he will be worked on
the streets for the week and noti-
fled to leave town.

met with a very serious accident
on last Saturday. He was load

too large for the barrel. In trying
to force it into it's place it explod-
ed and the powder burned his
face, neck and hands in a terrible
manner. DIR. Hood of this city
was telegraphed for and went
down on the first train. He
found Neff suffering great pain,
especially from his eyes. After a
careful examination he decided
the best thing that could be done
would be to send him at once to
an eye specialist. In company
with his brother, Bruce Nef. the
sufferer was brought to this city
and taken to DIR. Calhoon of At
lanta, where he will receive spec
ial treatment.

A Memorable Sabbath.

Yesterday was one Of the most
pleasant Sundays ever known in
this city. The weather was as
near perfect as any one could
wish for. The business houses
were all closed and very little
hustle on the streets except the
crowds of church-goers passing
to and fro. The churches and
Sunday-schools were crowded
with many new faces and at some
of the churches large lngather-
ings are reported. At the Meth
odist church the accessions dur
ing the day were unprecedented
in the history of the church.
Forty-two converts that have
been taken in during the revival
meetings were taken into full
membership, besides fully as
many more reclaimed who had
backslidden. At the Epworth
League meeting in the afternoon
there were thirty-three applica-
tions for membership and the at
tendance was unusually large.
Pastor Hilburn was assisted dur
ing the day by presiding elder j.
G.. Sale, of Gainesville, Rev. j.
G. Ley, of Lady Lake and Rev.
J. A. Rowland, of Miami. Very
large crowds attended all the
services.
At the Baptist church the
crowds were also very large and
a very deep interest prevailed at
each service. Rev. j. E. Oates,
who has served the church so ac-.
ceptably for the past year and a
half, bade farewell to his::congre-
cation. Many were visibly af-
fected. He has won a large
place in the hearts of his people
and his departure is cause for
deep regret by every one. In re-
sponse to his invitation at the
morning service four converts
came forward, confessed their
sins and were received for bap-
tism Two more were received
by letter at the evening service.
This makes ten converts during
the week besides a number by let
ter and experience. At the close
of the morning sermon the quar-
terly communion services were
held and eight new members ex-
tended the hand of church fell
lowship., The ordinance Of bap-
tism will be administered to the
new converts on Wednesday
evening.
