THE WONDER OF THE WORLD
The Telephone is Faint Resemb-
lance of the Voice that Moses Heard
on Sinai.

The Telephone is Faint Resemb-
lance of the Voice that Moses Heard
on Sinai.
| The wonder Of the world is the tele-
phone. Everything else can be &C
counted for and explained, but when
explanation is made in full of how the
telephone works, the mystery still re
mains, for, 10, the voice of a friend
hundreds OF miles away comes sound
ing beside one, as though face to face,
and the Tact ls made clear that there
is divinity in that voice that dis
tance, and roaring storms and all the
clamors of mighGy world cannot break
one tone OF. 1t is as when the Infinite
spoke to Moses On Sinai, as when, after
all the clamors had passed, the still
small voice smote upon the ears OF the
seer and he knew that God was nigh.
One asks question, his own voice
dles away In the room in which he
sits, but moment later out Of the
darkness voice replies, and he knows
that his question has penetrated all
the space for hundreds OF miles, and
that the answer has come and brought
with it all the tones that love or friend
ship would demand for Identification.
1t is easier than formerly to believe
that the prayer preferred Is recorded
on the receiver of eternity and in some
way Is proof Of mans dominion over
not only the earth, but all it's elements,
and that he has been from the first
possessed OF divinity which is sufficient
to command and make servant of
mere matter, thai his place is, after
all, only a little lower than the angels,
and that when the environment OF this
world shall be cast off he will find that
instead of de8th being close it is but
the opening gate to higher and freer
life. We hear u bell, and voice that
we have not heard for months or wears
responds, and so we know that voice Ia
still, with all the old tones, to be
heard. Who shall say that when an
other summons comes we shall not
hear voices that we thought had gone
out forever in whispers, hear them
with all the old rythm sweetness
Listening, there is brought to US the
music of an orchestra playing hun
dreds OF miles away. What music
shall we hear when the final key is
touched The storm, the interposing
mountains, the boom of cataracts
or the roar OF rushing trains-none
OF them interpose any barrier
what will be that music that will come
to us when all the barriers are re-
moved and upon our sublimated ears
strikes the far-off mighty, but iucom-
parably sweet refrain?
What Ia going on ought to eXalt
men, 1t ought to make them humble,
for Why should such specks as they be
given the blessings and the glory that
are bestow cd upon them

Citizens OF Edgefield, join heart and

BILE shaft that shall tell your posterity
now the patriotic women Of Edgefield
loved and honored the "men who wore

they will accomplish, and we, their CO.

city Of the dead"
Through sorrows night, and danger'a

Amid the deepening gloom,
We, soldiers of heavenly king,
Are marching to the tomb.
Our labors done. securely laid
In this our last retreat,
Unheedtd DER our silent dust
The storms of life shall burst.
Yet not thus lifeless in the grave
The vital spark shall lie;
For DER life's wreck that spark cha rise
To seek its kindred sky.
These ashes, too--this little dust
Our Fathers care shall keep,
Until the final trump shall break
The long and dreary sleep.
Then loves soft dew, DER every eye
Shall shed it's mildest rays,
And our lOng-slent dust shall rise,
With shouts of endless praise"

ern farmers ought to form a mighty
trust and regulate acreage and price.
Our own county could regulate itself
by organizing and combining with the
local banks. Our average crop is 10000
bales, and at 8 cents pound would
bring 100000. About one-half OF This
could be carried and held by the more
wealthy producers. The other 5000
bales could get an advance OF & cents q
pound, or $50 bale, from the banks
on warehouse certificates. This would
take only $150,000. Even $25 bale
would pay the cost OF production and
leave the margin for the producer,
and this would require from the banks
only Sl25,0OO If every county was to
do this "a 100000 bale crop would
jump to 8 cents within sixty days.
That's the way to meet trust with trust
and defy the speculators. Why can't
1t be done?

THANKSGIVING DAY.
The Governor Calls Upon the People
to Give Thanks for Abundant Bless
fuga

to Give Thanks for Abundant Bless
ings.
Governor McSweeney has issued his
first Thanksgiving Day proclamation.
1t Is brief and reads "a follows:
The people of this State have been
abundantly blessed during the past
year. Gratitude is one OF the Chris
tian virtues. We should give thanks
at all times. Men too often forget the
goodness of God. There should not
only be gratitude in our hearts, but
there are times when we should give
visible evidence and audible expression
to that gratitude.
We have been remarkably free from
pestilence and scourge. We have been
permitted to plant and to garner. The
rains have come and the earth has
yielded her fruits, and we have been
allowed to enjoy the labor Of our hands.
We have made progress In manufac.
turing the products Of our fields and
our forests.
1t has long been customary to take
one day out of the three hundred and
sixty five when we shall cease from the
tolls OF our labor and render thanks to
the Oliver of all good for the many
blessings we receive. To the end,
therefore, that we may with thankful
hearts show our appreciation of the
tender care OF our Heavenly Father, L,
M. b. McSweeney, Governor of South
Carolina, In conformity to the pro-
clamatiOn of the President of the Unit
ed States, do hereby appoint and set
apart Thursday, the 30th day of No.
vember, 1899, as a day OF Thanksgiving
and prayer, to be kept and obsei we'd
by all the people of this State.
,et all m ubliC Dftices be closed and
all private business and labor of every
kind cease and let the people assemble
In their accustomed places OF worship
and rerder thanks with grateful hearts
to their Creator and Preserver for the
blessings of life and liberty and happi-
ness which they daily receive. Let
the people on this day also remem Der
the fatherless and not forget that the
poor and the needy ye have always
and that we are told by Him who made
the great sacrifce for US tn at 1t Ia more
| blessed to give than to receive, and by
our own deeds of charity prove the
| sincerity of our gratitude.
In testimony whereof ] have here
unto set my hand and caused the grea
seal of the State OF South Carolina tC
he affixed. Done at the Capitol, In tn,
city OF Columbia, this 3lst day Of Oc
tober, A. d. 1899.
