A Good Sign.

When you see a youth who
will do any kind of work, no
matter how mental it will be,
rather than lie idle. you can make
upyoul mind that he will amount
to something. The young man
VINO would starve to death before
he would do anything beneath
what he concelves to be his dig
nifty is not made of the right
Kind Of stuff to cut much OF a
figure in this life. There is moth
ing so morally degrading as that
aversion to manual labor which
is usually a combination OF pride
and deceit.

PLAYED ROBBERS.
-Four Young Men Of Phlllppl Attempt to
Terorlze Two Families.

Last Monday night four young
sports who reside at Phllippi and
are described as being readers Of
cheap blood and thunder novels,
became impressed with the pos.
sibility of emulating some Of
Jesse James old tricks, and pro
ceeded to terrorize families liv-
ing in that neighborhood.
The young men are Clarence
Reed, George Ensigner, Young
Brandon and ayoung fellow nam
ed Gall.
At 1880 Monday night they
left Philippl, in pairs, taking
separate roads, for the home of
Riley Wilmoth. They met IN q
clearing near Wilmoth's and stole
quietly to the house. There
they knocked on the door, and
when Mrs. Wilmoth, who was in
the house alone, came they de-
manaed money or life. Mrs.
Wilmoth hastily closed the door,
and began firing with a Winches-
ter rife. The young adventures
took to their heels, and went to
Jacob Schenck's house, the other
place they had decided to rob.
At Schenck's, Reed raped on
the door, and demanded admit
tance, promising if it were re-
fused, to break down the door
and murder the members of the
household.
Several neighbors, including
V. w. Kittle. were visiting
Schenck, and after a moments
consultation Schenck opened the
door. Reed rushed 10, and Kit

WHAT FASHODA MEANS.

England's African policy is: To
push southwark from Egypt and
northward from the Cape of Good
Hope until there shall be a British
African empire extending in an un-
broken belt from the Mediterranean
to the southern extremity of the con.
tincnt.
Frances African policy is: To
push eastward and southeastward
from her large possessions in Western
md Northwestern Africa toward her
small holdings on the east coast until
there shall be French empire ex-
tending in an unbroken belt from
the Atlantic and the Mediterranean
to the Indian Ocean.
France, going eastward, and Eng
land, going southwark, have met at
Fashoda. One or the other must
yield and, yielding, must give up for
ever her dream Of continuous trans
continental African empire.
'England-tas both right and might
on her side. But if France yields,
not only will England be supreme on
the African continent, but also
Frances possessions will forever res
main as worthless as they are now.
For France and England Africa is
IT Fashoda. Hence the crisis.

LIBRARY EXTENSION.

In the spring of this year, 1898
the first meeting of the Federation
Of Clubs was held at Seneca, Soutl
Carolina.
The every Tuesd,y Club O.
this town joined the Federation. The
object of the movement is to en-
tighten and improve. Several ideas
were suggested at the meeting CT the
Federation-the most noteworthy
was library extension.
At recent meeting Of the Every
Tuesday Club the club organized
itself into an association for the ad
vancemcnt of the idea of library ex
tension in the town Of L nion.
Capt. a. II. Foster, animated by
an intelligent sympathy and com
mendable public spirit, presented the
loan of room in one OF his buildings
tor the term OF five years ior the pur-
pose Of a library commencement.
The club has been inspired and
urged forward by the narrative of
the rcsolute efforts, finally crowned
with success, in the establishment Of
the Kennedy library Of Spartanburg.
The Every Tuesday Club wishes
to enlist the sympalhiziDg interest
and good will of our citizens in this
prcjcct-a project to be attained only
by persistent effort, through patience
and courage born Of faith in the
great good that it will bring to our
itzens-men, women and children.
1t requests the citizens to come to
meeting at the opera house on
Tuesday evening next. November 1si,
at 7:30 o clock, when the merits and
scope Of the design will be unfo!dcd
to them by orators who dwell among
u:-rcSidents Of our own town.

has not been in harmony with the
standards and practices OF that church.
These ministers entertain and teach
certain doctrines as to sanctification,
or the second blessing, or perfect
love, or whatever the disciples of this
school call it, that are at variance
with the usual teaching of Presby-
terians. At the recent session of
the Presbytery these two ministers
were arraigncd for investigation. A
special committee was appointed to
examine them as to their belief and
teaching. After that examination
these preachers thought it best for
them to ask permission to withdraw
from the Presbytery. Their request
was granted and they received letters
dismissing them, but at the same
time commending them for their zeal
earnestness and Christian character.
This places them in rather an anoma-
lous relation. They are now free evans
gclis's; provided they continue to
preach. They cannot become pas
tors of church. That is about the
way the matter now stands.
