Rev. Haw kins, colored, went
to Monroe City last Saturday
expecting to remain over Sun
day and conduct religious SER
vice as he has been in the habit
of doing. Some one started the
report that he was the latest
thing from Paris. The rest is
best told in his own language.
He said: THAT marshal was
after me so hot that l just
thought the best thing l could
do was to get on the 6 o'clock
train and come home; aud I did
it. "-Shelbina Democrat.

the poor good, wholesome
Christmas dinner. Meat is high
and it is almost impossible for
the Association to buy meat on
the market for all the deserv

by furnishing several fine Mis-

this would be done if it was

The secret anniversaries of the

When the full river of feeling

JUDGING LIVE STOCK.

In the Short Course in Agri-
: cultural College at Columbia
this winter special emphasis
will be given to live. stock hus-
bandry, and considerable time
will be devoted to scoring and
Judging the different classes of
, livestock, especially feeders
and breeding cattle.
No Agricultural College has
| ever been able to offer such fa-
cilities for studying the differ
ent breeds and for Judging and
scoring livestock as we shall
be able to offer this winter to
the students in this course. 1t
is also true that no breeding es-
tablishment in the country is
able to offer such facilities.
There are now more than 300
urebred cattle IN the farm,
representing some of the finest
types of the Hereford, Short
horn, Angus, Devon, Red Poll
ed and Jersey breeds, Some of
these cattle have been in the
show ring and won against the
fiercest competition.
The students will therefore
have an opportunity to study
carefully the best types of these
different breeds. These cattle
are at the College being iuocu-
lated against Texas fever, and
will be used also in connection
with the work in Veterinary
Science. No young man pro-
posing to handle livestock can
afford under any circumstances
to miss the opportunity offered
here this winter If you want

This is frequently called woman s

comes significant when one considers
the difference in woman's position to-
day from what it was hundred years
ago. She is rapidly becoming q

her home interests have not seemed to
suffer in consequence, as may be
proven by the increase in publica
tions for the homemaker during the
past few years. The ,Housekeeper, es-

there are political questions which

there are political questions which
necessarily interest and to some ez-
tent asitate the minds of those con-
cerned. There are generally different
political parties representing different
views. This is very natural and rea-
sonable, but fsctionalism is on a diff
ferent plane. While it assumes the
task of settling political questions, il!
is very largely grounded upon pref
erences and prejudices in regard to
individuals, and does harm rather
than contribute to the help Of gov
ernment.
One of the hopeful signs of our
time is growing aversion among
the masses to factionalism.
The longer we live and the more
we think, the more we are inclined to
the belief that all organizations or
principles which tend to encourage
narrowness or clannishness are curse
to humanity rather than blessing.
1t does not make any difference
whether the organization is included
technically in what is called the
church or not, nor does it make any
difference whether or not it boasts Of
being foui.ded upon this or that BIZ
bic principle, if it tends to make lis
adherents clannish, it is curse

Foreign Missions.

The annual meeting of the We
mans Foreign Missionary Society Of
South Carolina Conference was held
at the hospitable town Of McColl, S.
c., June 2Sth to July end, 1899, pre-
sided over by our esteemed presi-
dent, Mrs. Wightman.
The town is composed Of TWO or
three thousand inhabitants, by
whom the delegates were handsome
ly entertained. Business sessions
were held morning and afternoon
with an intermission OF an hour or
more, during which a bounteous
lunch was served. Evening services
were devotional and interspersed
with songs, profitable talks; also in
teresting papers read on missionary
work. Rev. Cauthen is pastor Of
the church and Ia to he congratulate
ed on having charge Of the people Of
McColl.
A reception was held on Saturday
afternoon in honor Of the delegates
and visitors at the beautiful home of
Mrs. 7. B. Gibson and were royalty
entertained.
On Sunday morning ReV. 4. H..
Stackhouse preached a very forcible
sermon on missionary work.
Too much praise cannot be given
the people of McColl. Those who
were 80 fortunate as to attend will
have occasion to think Of that town
as being the garden spot of Marl-
boro county will long be remem-
bered.
Last but not least, every delegate

Factions.

Political factions represent divis-
ions, and divisions indicate strife and
want of unity Of sentiment and pur-
pose in governmental questions. We
cannot expect all persons to see all
questions in the same light, nor can
we reasonably expect all persons to
fully comprehend the truth in any
department of thought, but when
persons of the same general political
party become divided into factions, it
represents factional spirited people
AMI generally expresses character
which is morally as well as theoretic-
ally wrong.
Fsctionalism in South Carolina in
the Democratic party for the last few
years has been one of the misfortunes
OF our State history. Conditions
have been taken advantage of by de-
signing politicians and factionalism
has beeu generated and developed
perhaps as never befcre in all the his
tory of State politics. But waves of
political influences, somewhat like
waves of the seas, reach their zeniths
aud boundary lines and soon or late
must break and lose their force, and
factionalism has evidently been rec
ognized as a common evil. and the
more intelligent and conservative
minded among the masses really
want peace Occasionally some mar
minded, little-spirited man tries
to fan up the old flame of factional-
ism, perhaps for some personal gain
that he imagines may come to him,
but the great majority of people want
peace and harmony, and will no Ion
ger cor sent to be subordinate 20 the
plans of political sharpers.
Governor Elerbe labored hard to
suppress factionalism, and doubtless
contributed much towards putting it
down. One of tue largest stars in his
political crown will be for having ex-
erted his influence towards oHer-
throwing the great evil in South
Carolina.
If we understand Governor Nc
Sweeney, he, too, will labor to ignore
all factional lines and only strive for,
the general good of the people of our:
State. He has the reputation of be-,
ing not only a sensible man, but Of
moving upon high moral plane,
practically advocating those broad,
generous principles which dema and
general respect among men, the :ap-
proval of God, and which in their
very nature contribute to the general
good of humanity.

The city Of Charleston is now un-
dering political heat, politicians are
fixing up the mayoralty slate and urg-
ing their respective fayorite to sacri-
fee himself upon the altar of city
politics. a very strong petition ask
ing Mayor Smytb to stand for re-
election has been published, which
is indeed, nice compliment paid to
that gentleman, because the petition
was signed by a large portion OF the
business interests of the city. This
element represent property and the
material interests OF the city general
ly. Another element not being salts
fed to keep waiting and to be class
ed with the "outs" are urging Mr..
James Seignious to reach out to grasp
the Mayorality plum. Unlike the
friends OF Smyth, the friends OF
Seignious are not publishing petit
tions, but are doing their persuading
by delegations. Seignious says he
does not believe in the petition prac-
tice, and Smyth does not want the
to keep the position unless his con-
stituency give expression Of a desire
that they wish him to remain.
Well, it is safer to predict the re-
election of Smyth than it is to bet
on the "Sbamrock" taking the cup

FINISH THE STATE HOUSE-WHEN

1t has been suggested recently by
some of the newspapers, that the
next session of the General Assembly
take steps towards completing the
work on the State house. There Is
certainly need for this work to be
finished and give the State Capitol
more imposing appearance, but how
can this be done without increasing
the State levy? The people who
have TO bear the tax burden are al
ready complaining about high taxes,
and now if it is increased their com.
plants will grow louder. Ii our
lawmakers can devise way to finish
the Capitol building without increas-
ing the tax levy then by all means let
the good work begin. There has
been thousands OF dollars thrown
away on that building, but that was
when the government was III other
hands, nevertheless We are not no"
in a condition to add to our expendi-
lures, and will not be until We can get
more for the products of the soil, and
our other expenses reduced.
We are perfectly willing that the
city of Columbia have modernly
finished public building as one OF the
attractions to aid her in the pro-
cressiye move she is making, but we
do not see the crying necessity IN
calling on the people throughout
the State to help beautify that
city at present. Some one has
said that one-sixteenth of mill will
raise enough money to do the work
If that calculation be correct, suppose
the officials throughout the State
drawing salaries, have those salaries
reduced sufficiently to finish the
State house, then the work can be
done without adding any additional
taxes on the people. 1t is all nice
enough to look upon magnificent
structures, but it is another story to
pay for them. Our State house an
swers the purpose for which it is used,
and the officials occupying it are con-
tent to remain therein as long as the
good people of the State are willing;
we do not believe one OF them will
resign on account of the building not
being finished, nor do we think the
present condition of the building will
dampen the ardor of those patriots
who aspire to State house honors.
Let the State Capitol building be fp-
ished in the very best style without
increasing the tax, and not otherwise.
Those who have the power to vote
away the peoples money must have
q greater regard for the condition OF
the taApaSsHs~ than they have for the
appearance of a puS22;;A building.
