Wednesday, May %, 1900.

1t is an answer to Christ's glorious invi.
lation, "Come up here and be man.
Declare yourself. Stand with me upon
this height in your own life and in
your own way" Standing there fear
is impossible. He is above the clouds
of mans ambition and invectives.
Absolute independence must be the
Christian aim.
TO be like God is to be yourself and
no other. To live your own life-to
take hold of your own portion of the
eternal-your own segment of the cir
Gle of eternal life. To be like God we
must enter into the freedom of His
spirit-love as He loves, think as He
thinks, act as He acts. TO be helped
to this great consummation take
the outstretched hand of your brother
Jesus, whom you have seen, that He
may lead you into the eternal presence
of Him whom you have not seen.
After the sermon, the congregation
was dismissed with benediction, and
the soldiers marched out of the church
as they had marched in, continuing
back to the armory, where they broke
ranks. The veteran members named
above were, in accordance with an
arrangement previously announced,
entertained at dinner by Captain Moore
at his residence.

addition to the regular school tax.
In all 26 votes were cast, and of these
only one was against the tax. There
was some opposition to the tax; but
most of those who would have so voted
were not registered. 1t isquite prob,
able, however, that there will be an

SERMON TO THE SOLDIERS.

The occasion of the annual sermon
to the Jasper Light Infantry last Sun
day, proved, as was generally anticl-
pated, one of unusual interest. Church
members of all denominations partici-
pated, and the congregation which was
gathered, not only from Yorkville, but
also largely from the surrounding
country, numbered close in the neigh
borhood of six hundred people. IT
was such a congregation as gathers in
Yorkville only at rare intervals and
which is seldom seen elsewhere.
The Jasper Light Infantry numbered
about 60 men, rank and file, under
command of Captain w. B. Moore.
The original Jaspers present were
Capt. w. B. Smith, W. B. Williams,
A. F. Mcconnell, ]. ]. Smith, T. D.
Harris, R. N. McElwee, John D. Nc
Connell, J. r. Witherspoon. With one
or two exceptions, all wore the regu-
lation uniform, on the left sleeve of the
coat of which was a broad band OF
black and white, indicating forty years
of service. The head of each old SOL
dier was abundantly sprinkled with
gray, and altogether the venerable
little squad made an impressive ap'
pearance.
Forming at the armory shortly be-
fore II o'clock, preceded by the drum
corps and followed by the honorary
squad of ex- Confederate Jaspers, with
the chaplain in uniform, bringing up
the rear, the company marched in
fours to the door of the church. Here
was formed lane with double ranks
on either side, and all heads were un-
covered as the honorary squad marched
through. Then followed the company,
all the military occupying the front
seats on either side of the pulpit, and
a few moments after the services were
commenced with voluntary from the
choir.
Rev. w. G. Neville assisted in the
services. In appropriate terms he ex-
tended a cordial welcome to the large
congregation composed of all denomi'
nations, and expressed his qualification
at the fact that all these people could
meet on such occasions on the com.
mon ground of love. He then intro
duced Rev. J. C. Johnes, the chaplain
of the company, who made a fitting
reply to Rev. Mr.. Neville's welcome,

the hands of the lieutenant governor
during my absence from the state
under circumstances and conditions
which to my mind indicate collusion
and fraud. His conduct in attempt
ing resignation and procuring a re-
appointment under the conditions as
he did, if the matter was before a
court of justice, would have been con-
sidered a contempt of court on his
part. I therefore trust that the COM
mittee and the senate will proceed to
proper and complete consideration
of the question, so that the rights, not
only of Mr.. Clark, but of the state OF
Montana, in the premises, may be de-
termined, and that upon the presenta-
ton of his credentials of appointment
by the lieutenant governor the same
be transferred to the committee on
privileges and elections for investiga
ton, and that 1 be permitted to make
o more complete and detailed state
ment of facts concerning the resigna-
ton and appointment of Mr.. Clark"

Although not great deal is now
being said in the United States about
our American claims against Turkey,
the matter is still being discussed in
the European press. A Russian paper
says that if the United States should
attempt to collect money from Turkey
by force, Russia, Austria and other
European countries would promptly
take hand. The indications are that
although Europe generally was quite
frien dly to the United States previous
to the outbreak of the Spanish war,
almost every continental government
is now extremely distrustful of this
country, and the disposition to COM
bine against us is strong.

Although there does not seem to
be much excitement over the matter,
it is an undisputed fact that there
have been several deaths from bubonic
plague in San Francisco. 1t is claimed
that there are not at this time any
new cases of the plague; but. the
health authorities are doing all they
can to prevent further developments,
devoting their attention especially to
the Chinese and japanese quarters.
incubation with a substance called
hatf kline is considered to be prevent
i've; but several inoculated patients
have died from the effects Of the ope-
ration and the people threatened are
resisting the remedy. They say they
would rather die of the plague than
be poisoned.

: The State Prohibition conferenc

- The State Prohibition conference
meets in Columbia today, Wednesday.
The outlook is that most of the coun'
ties of the state will be represented,
and the probability is that candidates
will be "suggested" for governor and
lieutenant governor. There seems TO
be no disposition to suggest full state
ticket; but it is quite likely that all
the counties will be urged to send pro-
hibition representatives to the general
assembly.

- The United States supreme court
has decided the Kentucky contested
election case in favor of Governor
Beckham. That is the effect OF an
opinion handed down on Monday.
The Kentucky supreme court decided
in favor of the Democrats and the
United States supreme court decides
that it has no Jurisdiction in the mat
ter. Beckham is now governor; but
under the law he can only serve until
the election of his successor at the
next election. 1t is expected that ne
and Taylor will be the candidates and
that there will be an exciting time of it.

WITHIN THE TOWN.

Last Saturday was another unusual
ly good day with the dry goods stores.
The rain having put stop to farm
work, quits number of people came
in from the country, keeping the mer-
chants busy.
The contest for appointment to the
office of magistrate in York township
this year promises to be more interest
ing than usual. In the presence Of
the reporter yesterday, a gentleman
who has been giving more or less at
tention to the situation, mentioned the
names of eleven prospective candi-
dates.
The Jasper Light Infantry prides
itself on having the best drum corps Of
any military company in the state.
The corps consists of John Wheeler,
Will Adams, Bob Adams and Coot
Mcknight, all colored but thorough
going experts. The proficiency and
precision with which they perform
their duties are highly creditable.
At the general municipal election to
be held soon, graded school trustees
are to be elected to succeed Messrs. S.
l.. Miller and J. J. Hunter, whose
terms expire. 1t develops that W. w.
Lewis, Esq, is no longer eligible to
serve as trustee of the graded school,
on account of his disqualification as a
member of the board of visitors to the
Citadel academy. On account of the
fact, however, that there is no pro-
vision in the special school district act
for the filling of vacancies, Mr.. Lewis
finds himself unable to resign from the
board. His term of Office as trustee OF
the graded school does not expire un-
til next year, and unless relieved by an
amendment to the graded school act
at the next session of the general as
sembly, he must continue as member
of the board, in name, without the
right to participate in the boards de-
liberations.
1t turned out that the baseball nine
which Lowrysville sent to Yorkville
last Friday was not so formidable as 1t
looked. The game was called at
about o'clock but owing to the
threatening appearance of the weather,
only few of the more enthusiastic
baseball lovers went out 10 the grounds.
The attendance was not at all general.
Within a few minutes after the game
started, it developed that the visitors
were no match for the home team,
which was itself made up in part OF
such material as could be scraped to-
gether on the spur of the moment.
Several errors made by the best men
on the home team gave the visitors
three runs ; but, taken altogether, the
playing of the home team was very
good. The game was quite an inter
esting one, and would have no doubt
proven much more so had there been
present larger crowd to enjoy it.
The score, at the close of the game,
stood II to 8 in favor of Yorkville.
Rev. J. C. Johnes acted as umpire.
The best of good temper prevailed
throughout the contest.

THE BRITISH AND THE BoERS.-With
the exception that Mafeking has been
relieved, there is no important news
from South Africa during the past few
days. 1t was reported on Monday
that Lord Salisbury had received a
message direct from President Kruger
proposing terms of surrender; but af-
terward the truth ofthis report was de-
MED. There has been no such message,
and although the British appear to have
the advantage everywhere, still there is
reason to believe that the Beers intend
to put up at least one more good fight
before they allow the British to enter
Pretoria. The Beers are now thought
to be concentrating on johannesburg,
where they will be able to give lots Of
trouble before they can be driven out.

WEDNESDAY, MAY %, 1900.

- The determination to discontinue
the naval station at Port Royal has ex-
cited the Savannah people to the ex-
tent that they have begun to urge their
claims as against those of Charleston.
From all indications, however, it ap-
pears that the case is closed and that
Charleston is going to carry off the
prize.

The promoters of the South Caro-
lima Interstate and West Indian Ex-
position evidently mean business. AL
though the proposition has been under
way only about three months, the
ways and means committee is already
reporting subscriptions aggregating
$4,000 and over. These subscrip-
tions have been mostly by citizens OF
Charleston, with the railroads and
other large corporations which are ex-
pected to subscribe literally still to
hear from. The financial plan calls
for capital stock of $3.50, 900, no part
of which is to be called for until the
bona tide subscriptions amount to at
least $150,OOO, when subscribers will
be asked for an assessment of 20 per
cent, to be followed by other payments
as they may be needed. The Charles,
ton people hope that the entire state,
or rather people in all sections, Will
assist in the undertaking, assuring
them that they are not to regard their
subscriptions as donations; but as in
vestments. The shares are to be OF
the par value of SIS each, and subscrip'
tions will be accepted for any number
of shares from one up. There is every
reason to believe that this exposition
movement is movement that is going
to move. 1t is going to be of great
benefit not only to Charleston, but to
the entire state and those who lend
their assistance from the outset, finan'
cial and otherwise, are not likely to
have occasion to regret such action.
The present situation gives promise Of
the organization of the exposition com
pany within a few weeks from now
but in the meantime letters of inquiry
addressed to the Executive committee.
SO Broad street, will receive prompt
attention.

for sending obscene matter through
the mails. He was convicted on the
testimony of so called handwriting ex-
perts. The obscene letters continued
after Broughton's conviction, and this
fact proved the mans innocence. AS
rule, the greatest difficulty with So
called expert testimony lies in the
fact that the experts are generally
more faithful to their reputation for
cleverness than they are to the truth.

TIME TO COOL OFF. i.
President Mckinley Has Been Get.
ting UP Too Much Steam for
the People.

Mr.. Mckinley has been at Manila a
year and four months. He has had un-
isturbedpossession. Underthe protec-
ton of scores of thousands of payonets
he has had the fullest opportunity to
put into practice his benevolent as
similation."
What is the result of this intimate
intercourse? "A general uprising of the
people plotted and only prevented by
a lucky chance; the garrison of Manila
doubled to overawe the people.
He has been practising what may be
called more Strenuous" sort of "be-
nevolent assimilation" in the outlying
districts for II months. He has swept
the towns and the rural districts of
Luzon with fire and sword.
Result: He can show himself only
where he is protected by circle Of
bayonets; guerrilla warfare in the
north; insurgent armies in the south.
Mr.. Mckinley has spent upon his
war:
In appropriated money...........$3 $500 00O, 600
In debts which congress is expect
ed TO pay .......................... oO0Ou,OVV
In American lives .................. 1928
Mr.. Mckinley has got "the open
door" in China, without killing any
body, by the expenditure of few dol
lars in telegraph tolls and postage.
What more do we want in the Philip
pines than the opportunity for Amer
leans to develop the commercial pos
sibilities of the islands and use them
as depots for the oriental trade? These
objects and all the naval stations and
protectorate, if we wish il could all
have been gaineda.ean all still be gained.
without baoodshed, without taxing the
american people, without giving the
world the melancholy spectacle of a
democratic republics president deny
ing that human beings have human
rights.
Because Mr.. Mckinley started wrong,
because he has gone on from folly to
folly, is that any reason why the Amer
lean people should continue to tolerate
his laundering in the costly effort to
initiate England at her worst?
Does not the superheated Mr.. Nc
Kinley need a vigorous cold douche Of
