which has never had colonies, or even

the earth. Her ambition has hitherto been

Gen. Gordon an EVANGELIST,

A special from Waco, Texas, says:
General John B. Gordon, commander
in-cbief of the United Confederate Vet
erans, who is on q lecture tour in
Texas, attended the revival meeting in
Gates7ille, Coryell county, conducted
by Abe Mulkey, and at the conclusion
of the sermon the evangelist called on
him for remarks. General Gordon re-
sponded from his place on the platform
nesr the preacher in one Of the most
powerful exhorations, it is said, that
has ever been heard in this state. His
remarks were addressed principally to
the Confederate veterans present, In
most eloquent periods he depicted their
grand and glorious achievements as
soldiers in the service Of their country,
moving his hearers to the highest pitch
of patriotism; then in tenderest tones
he made an appeal to them to take up
the armor Of Christ that was sublime
and absolutely resistless, at the close
Of this appeal about forty Confederate
veterans came forward. No such scene
was ever enacted before. The old
gray-haired veterans crowded around
their chieftaia, one after another, en-
bracing him, and then they would fall
Upon one scother's necks shouting,

Of religious fervor became sufficiently
controlled for others to reach the plat.

Twins Marry Twins

April 18th will hereafter be nota-
bic day under the roof Of little double
house in Westerville, Ohio. 1t was
the wedding anniversary of two couples
and tho birthday anniversary of all four
members Of those couples. On that
day Guy Oner Crabbe and his twin
brother, Roy Homer Crabbe. are q
years old. On the same day lS years
ago Adrien E. Dotson and Edna A.
Dotson, twins. were born. The boys
were born in Westerville, o., and the
girls in Harrisville, ". Va. A year
ago Guy Crabbe made tour Of the
West Virgins oil6elds and met Edna
Dotson. He found her pleasing girl
and she rather liked him. A friend
told him Of the girls twin sister, who
always wore Identical clothes and whose
resemblance is remarkable, even for
twins. Crsbbe was interested and wrote
letter asking permission to visit Miss
Dotson and to bring his twin brother
along. The novelty Of it all pleased
the elder Dotsons and the twin brothers
went to Harrisville. The visit vas
pleasing to everyone interested, and the
double wedding is the outcome Of 3
double courtslip started at that time.
Three months ago the Crabbes had 8
double house built at Westervills, both
both sides exactly alike. where they
took their brides. The brides selected
their furniture and household effects
together and every article as mutually
agreed upon was ordered in duplicate,
so that there is most delightful same
ness on the two sides Of the double
home.

" sstingI Its Time.

The Washington Post, though
nominally an independent news
paper, is generally in line with
the Republican party. It was an
ardent advocate of McKinley's
election in 1896 and will un-
doubtedly support him against
Bryan ttiilis year. AS The Post
desires to aid the Republican
party in the coming campaign
it makes bold to counsel it as to
the course it should pursue. In
it's earnest efforts to save from
defeat the party which it pre-
fers to any other now organized,
The Post says:
"When the elections of 1898
had assured Republican ascend
ancy in both houses of the fifty
sixth congress, The Post men
toned as one of the important
duties that would devolve upon
that body the accomplishment
of some practical antitrust
legislation. It was evident then,
and it has become more apparent
every day since that time, that
the trusts would be one of the
leading issues of the presidential
campaign. The Post suggested
then, has ever since persistently
urged the necessity of depriving
monopolistic combinations Of
any chance for shelter behind
tariff schedules. AS a consistent
advocate of the doctrine of pro-
lection, The Post has protested
and will continue to protest
against it's abuse. Attention has
been called in these columns to
trade combinations in protected
industries that were and are
sitting competition while pay
ing large dividends on enormous
over-capltalization. Testimony
given before the industrial COM
mission by managers of such
combines convicts them of
exploiting almost fabulous
amounts of fictitious stocks.
Similar testimony shows that

A Scalp Masseuse.

A young woman in Brooklyn has
made q place for herself IS q scalp
masseuse. She goes from patient to
patient, or sometimes sees several pa
tients at the house Of one and receives
a few at her own rooms. The object
of the Leatment is to arrest threatened
badness, whether Of men or women.
The masseues's business has so IN
creased that for nine months Of the
year she is occupied most OF the day
and part Of the night.
The work of massage is done chiefly
with the balls of the fingers This
part of the treatment lasts twenty min
utes. It is designed to increase the cir
culation of the blood in the scalp, so
that the hair may be nourished proper
". In addition to this the masseuse
shampoos the heads Of some patients
and in the case of all she recommends
lotions, the prescriptions Of regular
practitioners.
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1900-04-25

such combines sell their pro-
ducts all over Europe at lower
prices than are charged forthem
to domestic consumers. These
facts have from time to time
pointed out, and in the interest
of the great principle of protec-
tion to which our marvellous
development and splendid pros
perity are largely due, The Post
has advocated the reduction, not
in all cases the destruction. of
schedules thus outrageously
abused.''
The Post then asks what con-
gress is going to do in order to
put the Republican party in
good form for the campaign:"
Itgoes on to show that it is IN
cumbent upon the Republican
majority in congress to make an
honest effort to restrain the
trusts, and adds:
''It is admitted by all fair
minded men that there are some
trade combines which have by
legitimate means reduced the
cost of production while increas-
ing wages and not increasing
prices. No indiscriminate war
fare on trusts is called for. But
against the sort of combines that
are taking advantage of protec-
tive duties to prey on the public
there is remedy at hand, and
every congressman knows what
it it,
The remedy suggested by The
Post may be easily applied and
would undoubtedly prove efec-
tive. John Sherman proposed
it in the senate nearly ten years
ago, but the friends and attor-
neys of the trusts were strong
enough in that body to cause its
rejection. They did so because
they knew that it would bring
the trusts to time. For exactly
the same reason the present Re-
publican congress will refuse to
adopt the method of dealing
with the trusts which The. Post
recommends.
There is a partnership between
the Republican party and the
trusts which the former has no
idea of breaking. The president
may inveigh in words of SEEM
ing indignation against the ag-
gressions of trust power, and
Republicans in both houses of
congress will probably give
forth similar stage thunder be-
fore the opening of the campaign
but there can be no safer predic-
tion than that congress will take
no action that will be disagree
able to the truts. The Post is
wasting its time.

LATEST FLYING MACHINE.

These wings are made Of hollow ribs
Of steel covered with very fine linen,
rendered alright by a bath in liquid
rubber. They spread nineteen feet on
each side and are Eve feet broad.
The motive power or force that waves
the wings up and down and forward
is a small, but very powerful, motor
driven by compressed, carbonic ACID
The machine is steered by the tall'
which consists Of two interacung
blades which can be turned to ngnE

The motor, which generates three
horse power, weighs but eight pounos.
The carrying power Of this machine IS
most remarkable, for If the wings nap

scends gently at the will OF the oper-
ator.
Hitherto experiments have been con-
Quoted merely to show the correctness
Of the principles employed, but the IN
ventor is now engaged in constructing
a still more perfect and lighter machine
with aluminium frame covered with
silk, by which he hopes to take longer
fights, remaining in the air as long as
he pIeases and going in any direction,
with or against the wind, just as the

They object to anything being folded

had clothes case made to order. His
tailor furnished the proper measure

The shirt slide had three partitions, so
that they could not help lying in order.
This allowed Of the shirts being drawn
out one at a time. The slides were all
shallow, about three inches deep.
There were special places for each
article Of underwear, cuffs, collars,

was big front board, which opened

a shelf, on which things could be laid
and sorted out preparatory to being
placed in their proper receptacle.

for their cotton, and to seek
some substitute for ties to hold

vention Of Herr Arthur Stencil OK
Hamburg, Germany. Like many OF his
predecessors, especially Lilientha!, he
has made a special study Of the fight
Of birds to guide him ia his consTuc.

One of the chief problems in aerial

learned from the Gtork as it hovers

The Amended Loud Bill,

The Loud postal bill, though
it went to the house backed by
a unanimous report Of the COM
mittee on postofices and post
roads, was defeated in that body
by a large majority. The main
objection urged against the bill
in the debate on it in the house
was that it was too sweeping,
that it excluded from second
class mail privileges much mat
ter which is fairly entitled to
the second-class rate. Though
the house voted the bill down,
it agreed to re-commit it. We
are glad that the committee has
reported it in an amended form,
which gives it much better pros
poets Of passage. AS it now
stands the bill contains no pro-
vision that can be objected to by
the friends of country newspa-
pers, college or fraternal publ
cations. Itmerely declares that
mailable matter Of the second
class shall embrace all newspa-
pers and other periodical publ
cations which are issued at
stated intervals and as frequent
ly as four times a year, provided
that nothing herein contained
shall be so construed as to ad-
nit to the second-class rate pub
locations purporting to be issued
periodically and to subscribers
but which are merely books Or
reprints of books, whether they
be issued complete or in parts,
whether they be bound or un-
bound, whether they be sold by
subscription or otherwise, or
whether they purport to be pre-
miums or supplements or parts
of regular newspapers or perio-
ideals. That news agents shall
not be allowed toreturn to news
agents or publishers at the
pound rate unsold periodical
publication, but shall pay post
age on the same at the rate of l
cent for four ounces" A perio-
dical which is not included in
this classification cannot, by
the most liberal construction,
be considered as coming within
the intention of the second
class mail law. The mails are
now burdened with a vast mass
of trashy stuff, circulars, ETC.,
which are carried at second
class rates at an immense loss to
the government. The postmas-
ter general estimates that it
costs $2O,0O0,OO0 a year more
than the revenue derived from
it to handle this bulk of mail
matter improperly included in
the second-class. II the Loud
bill in it's amended form should
pass it will not only relieve the
postohce department ofits an
nual deficit but would insure a
surplus revenue, which would
very soon make one-cent letter
postage an accomplished fact.
And at the same time it would
do injustice to nobody.

CARE OF HORSES .-Don'tf hay in
the middle Of the day. Give the
heaviest feed 81 night. Some horses
require more hay than others. Study
your horse, and never give him SO much
hay that he looks stuffed. If your
has been standing in the stable fer some
time, be very carefully when you take
him out, as hard drive under these
circumstances is very apt to bring on
spinal menigitIs, or some other serious
trouble. Regular exercise is one Ct the
most important things in keeping a
