How Paul Kruger Got -eligiOn.

Paul Kruger is now one OF the
lost religious of men. He was
brought up in pious T itch family
and was never a bad boy, but 1t Is
said that thirty years ago, when
KIu~er was a Young married man,
!.e ''got religion in a most striking
and characteristic way. One day he
handed an open Bible to his wife and
asked her to read several chapt rs
which he had marked. While she
was read.1g he left the house. For
several days he was missing and
finally a party of friends went out
to look for him. They came back
without trace of the missing man,
only reporting that they had heard
some one singing far off on the
mountains. 4 day or two later an
other searching party went out. This
time they found Kruger in eondI-
ton of almost complete exhaustion,
having gone entirely without food or
water during his absence He had
gone up into the hills to wreStle
with himself in prayer.

HIS CHANCES CRlGHT..

Hon. Joseph W. Barnwel IS
moking a vigorous campaign Tor
Congress in the 1st district. Al
most every county newspaper IN
the State has commented on his
candidacy, and most Of them give
him The highest conmenda'ion'
Even his political opponents ad-
NIT that he is a strong man, a hard
fighter and a good man to look al
ter his constituents interests IN
Congress. Charleston IS almost
solldly for him and he has many
friends throughout the distinct
That ne will "win out" in his race

or an other district, because the
proper development of the whole
interior hangs largely upon the
development Of our water taclll-
ties. Fer that reason the Adver-
tiser has no hesitancy in express
ing its sentiments as to the ap-
preaching election in The Charles
ton dis riot.
Mr.. Joseph w. Barnwell, the
present Senator from Charleston
county, is a gentleman who pos
sesses intellectual gifts Of the first
order. He is eloquent, eXper-
fenced, thoroughly educated and
a sound lawyer. His personal re-
cord and character is without
blemish. When the redemption
of the Commonwealth trembled
in the balance he WAS distinguish
ed ior aggressive courage. In the
still more acute struggle for the
redemption of the city of Char
lesion from negro misrule he was
equally conspicuous. The selec-
ton of Mr.. Barnwell for the Dem
ocratlc nomination IN his district
will insure for the State a mem
Der of Congress worthy of the
States best traditions, and III his
person the State will have in :he
halls of legislation force which
will be felt and heard throughout
the nation. In oul Judgment the
1st district has a rich opportunity
in the candidacy of Mr.. Barn
well, for his election would insure
to tee good Of all South Carolina.
Strong, efficient men are sorely
needed by the Solth at Washing
ton, and Mr.. Barnwell is thor
oughly representative OF the
South's hest.

Partisan Stupidity.

The partisan stupidity Of the
postoflice department is we'll illus
trated In the Lake. City case.
Here is a department that COM
monty boasts that it is run more
on a business than political basis,
vet it arbitrarily deprives the
whole of the people Of Lake City
and vicinity Of postal facilities be-
cause a negro patron saint OF the
postofice department was appoint
ed postmaster against the will OF
the majority Of the people and
then was murdered by midnight
assassins. The apparent assump-
ton Of the postoltice department
is that the whole population OF
the neighborhood took part in the
assassination. and that the depart
ment is a moral agency, the duty
of which is to pass upon capital

War Times in England and the Trans
avail.

The attitude of the English to-
day is one OF intense restrained
excitement. The old scenes OF
our own Civil War are recalled by
the dispatches which state that
after the battles of Siormberg and
Maserstontein the British War
Office was tesieged by angulshed
groups of the friends who waited
at home. It's SAID that women
tainted, and that the hearts OF
mothers broke. The silk Of the
duchess and the holden gray Of
the Northumberland peasant
mingled in that rhrong where a
touch of sorrow made the whole
world kin. We wonder how the
women of Pretoria, whose sons and
husbands were disemboweled at
Elandslaagte, looked as they read
their sentence of woe? We are
not agreed about the the justice
Of the African war, but we are all
one in our deep sympathy for the
unofendiug women Of England
and the Transvaal. All war Is
accursed; it tracks its red trail
through the cottage Of the widow
ed girl Of Connaught, and the pal
ace Of the London beauty, as well
as to the lonely farmers home OIL
