HELP TIL EMPORIUM ATE.

There are peculiarly sad circum-
stances surrounding the death of Mr..
w. w. Dennis. A little more than a
week ago he was a man in robust
health, bravely, manfully fighting the
battles of life, giving a fathers love
and protecting care to his dependent
family. First to them; but not con-
fining himself selfishly, narrowly or
C osely to them. He was economical
but not stingy; he was provident,
but generous; he worked early and
late and hard and cared for his own,
but always had mite to spare for
the widow and the orphan, or the
brother in distress.
Now in the very prime of life, with
the expectancy of long years before
him, in moment as it We're, he is
stricken down and called from his
business and loved ones, and leaves
his wife and three small children
dependent and penniless. Because
of the contagious disease with which
be died, much of their clothing and
bed clothing have been burned ;
the house they live in belongs to
another; the little stock of groceries
is submerged with debt; they are
broken-hearted and stunned by the
shock of their great misfortune /;
without any fault of his or their,
but because of their great misfor.
tune they are in this pitiable condi-
ton. Now what should christian
community do?
Gods Word says that "Pdre relig-
ion and undefiled before God and
the Father is this; To visit the faith
erless and widows in their afflic-
ton" Not merely to visit, but to
help them. To help them according
to their necessities.
We believe in missions, home and
! foreign; we believe in charities, and
benevolent societies; we believe in
endowments, large and small; but
most of all we believe in individual,
personal contributions to any suf-
fering or necessity at our very door.
1t will soften the heart and bless the
hand that gives it; it will tighten
the load of care from the widow 6
heart, and bring, psrcbance, Que
faint ray of hope to her darkened
sky and it will teach the little boys
to know that though their earthly
protector has been taken from them
they have q Father still who watches
over them, and who will raise uI

THE reelection of Gen. Gordon as
Commando: of the Confederate
Veterans Association, and the
selection of Mr.. Bi5coe Hindman az
Commander of the Sons of Con-
federate Veterans, were honors
worthily bestowed at Louisville last
week, and these selections show
this; that now in 1900 the same as in
the COS, the best blood of the South,
its rlpest manhood and the flower of
its youth, may still be found among
the Veterans who wore the gray and
the sons of these veterans. Not to
know Gen. Gordon is an ignorance
of public men few will plead guilty to.
While the selection of Mr.. Hindman
as Commanded of the Sons, brings to
the front perhaps the best know n
and most successful young business
man in the South. In his chose u
| line OF work-the life insurance-he
has few equals and no superiors, and
as man of culture, refinement and
strict Integrity he Is the peer of the
| best.

AFTER a while, the President
may, perhaps, learn the inadvisabili-
ty of appointing incompetent5 to
office. f. w. Peck, his commissions
er to the Paris show, is now the
center of nasty scandal arising out
of his lack of business ability; Mr..
Hazel, his political judge appointed,
is accused by Republican Con-
gresham of having been a party to
swindling the Government out of a
large sum during the Spanish war,
and practically admits the charge !;
while the experience with ward
heelers in Cuba is too recent to re-
quire comment.

LONG
PANTS SUITS.

Listen while we tell you about
them. We have 70 suits in all.
Nearly one half of them are fine first
class goods and are cheap at what
they are marked and the price has
been up to now $3.50, $500, 5000 and
$3.50. Well what must the price be
until they are closed? Here it is, 1925.
Plank down that much and you may
have choice of the fine lot. Now the
other lot is not so good, but the most
of these are $3.50 suits. You can take
your choice of these suits for 81 %.
If any good merchant in Columbia
could. they would buy the whole lot
at these figures.
Come
and
them.

Thoughts on Mathew 20: 30
to 46.
(sY Lou GERTRUDE KIsEn) }

(sY Lou GERTRUDE KIsEn.)
The hungry are now at your doorway
Desiring with crumbs to he fed,
They moan in the chill and the darkness,
Like Lazarus begging for bread.
The thirsty are ever before you
Beseeching, Of water, cup,
A drop from out your abundance,
But do you give them the SUPP
For It's not the hunger Of body,
Nor chill of the cold winter night,
That brings from the lips of the anguished,
The cry for warmth aud for light.
Their thirst is not one that the raindrops
Can ouench, as they fall from the sky;
The brook, as it babbles and sparkles,
Sings In vain as il passes them by
Their vesture is all they desire it;
Their tables with plenty are spread;
'Tis the hunger and thirst Of the spirit
IT'S the soul that so longs to be led.
They are hungry for love and for comfort,
They are moaning for kindness and
cheer,
They but beg for word sympathetic,
They but thirst for friend sincere.
Oh, how will il he in the judgment
With you, who deny them this boon,
viii you stand on the right of the master,
Or depart into torment and gloom
Dear Father, sometimes I'm so thirsty;
SO weary of breasiing the wave,
And | long for just one crumb of comfort,
For some one to succor and save.
| have sought these in vain among mortals,
But I'll find them in heaven above,
SO come unto thee, my dear Father,
To he filled with Thine Inf"ite love.

Thy Love-.

would care not to live il were bereft
OF the hope of thy hearts purest love,
For il lightens the gloom of my DESC
late heart,
Like ray of heavens light from above.
Earth would desolate be, without thy
dear form,
(FOr an angel could ne'er be more fair,)
ais unspeakable JOY TO know thy heart
mine,
My priceless jewel so rare.
Aud when | can gaze IN thine azure
eyes,
! forget all the longing and pain,
VI the slow passing days, the long weary
nights,
Ere | bask IN thy presence again.
SO be true, dear heart, for trust in
thy love,
With trust, as sincere as in heaven:
And 1 know am blest with the sweet
est love,
That e'er 10 mortal was given.
