HE 0BEYED THE ORDER.

Look here, what are you doing
there?''
The man who had asked the ques-
ton seemed excited; but the man to
whom it was addressed was not dis
turbed in the least. He was dumping q
load of dirt in a vacant lot. This was
perfectly apparent to the questioner'
too. So that the question was clearly
unnecessary as a means OF obtaining
information. This idea must have I'M
pressed itself upon the man at work
for he went on with his task. The 9TH
er man became more excited at this
non-attention and asked the question
again in a louder tone than before.
Then the workman replied:
.I am unloading some dirt, SIR"
'But don't you see that signT" de-
manded the angry man, pointing to a
notice on a post not 10 feet away.
Eyes, SIR
"What does 1t say?"
"It says, Place no dirt here by order
of John Smith," read the man.
"Well, sir" the angry man went on,
I am John Smith, the owner OF that
lot"
"Gad to know you, SIR"
"None of your impudence, sir, or 1
will have you arrested. Now, wish
to know why you dump dirt on my lot
when there is notice distinctly for
bidding it." y
''I beg your pardon Mr.. Smith; but
that notice does not forbid me from
dumping dirt there"
1T doesn't, eh? What does 1t say,
then? I'd like to know, SIR"
We'll, Mr.. Smith, I've read It to you
once; but I will read it again If you
wish. It says, Place no dirt here by
order Of John Smith, and I have placed
none there by order of John Smith. I
work for a man named Robinson"
At this the man mounted his cart
and drove away, leaving Mr.. Smith
very thoughtful. So,

gambling den in Augusta was raided
by the police recently and South Caro-

reported. This was suppressed by the

of Cally Perry VS.. the Gaffney Carpet
Manufacturing company. In this case
Mr.. Perry seeks damages because the
carpet mill empties the refuse from Its
dye watts into a branch that courses
through his land. The entire forenoon
was occupied in the examination or
witnesses for the prosecution. The case
promises to be the most interesting
one on the civil docket and there will
be lively tilts between counsel and a
great deal Of testimony. Invitations
are out to the wedding Of Miss Minnie
Lou Sans, Of this city, and Mr.. Wal
ton Whitner Brown, of Pacolet Mills,
which will take place at the residence
Of Prof. r. o. Sans on Wednesday
evening, October 17th.......If there is
one thing settled in the public mind OF
South Carolina, it is that whenever one
man invades the sanctity Of another
mans home and poisons his domestic
peace, he forfeits his right to live; and
when the injured man hunts him down
and slays him, the public conscience
will approve the deed. There IS one
other thing just as firmly settled, and
that is that whoever assaults white
woman's virtue, shall inevitably and
Immediately pay the penalty with his
life. There is absolutely no mistake
about this sentiment. The killing Of
Brown at Rock Hill, and the burning
Of a Negro in Georgia are but recent
manifestations of this fixed and unal-
terable determination. How long will
it take men, white and black, to learn
that such Is the case?

KILLED by Wild Steer.

Hiram Jordan. a China, Me, farmer,
was killed by a wild steer Sunday.
For a month there had been reports
that wild animal OF some sort WAS at
large in the woods and pastures. Cattle
have come to the barn bleeding from
wounds. Children going TO school have
been chased by an animal crashing
through the alders at the side OF the
highway. Once or twice the animal Was
seen and pronounced to be wild steer.
The supposition is that it strayed from
the herd of some drover who has passed
through the section.
Sunday morning Mr.. JORDAN was driv-
ing his cows to pasture, when he heard
behind him a wild below. From woods
near by big steer came gslIoping with
head TO the ground.
Mr.. Jordan did not realize his danger,
and thought that be would be able to beat
of the steer wit IA a stick. When the steer
rushed toward him Mr. Jordan struck
him and then jumped aside. The steer
rushed past, but turned and charged the
farmer again. Jordan turned to leap the
wall, but fell, and was gored and tramp
led to death.

In Honorable Ways.

The church should discountenance
all methods for raising money which
tend to cheaper religion. She cannot
afford to ignore conscience in her finan-
cial operations. She must be both hon
est and reverent in replenishing the
Lords treasury. Due regard must be
had for the proprieties of life on the
one hand and respect for the Master
and His house on the other. Nothing
must be done to lower either Him or
His cause In the eyes of others, even
If thereby more money comes into the
bag. Christian principles are needed
in all the benevolent and church
schemes of the day. No amount OF
good ends can Justify the use of ques-
tionable means for their attainment.
The Lord wants His depleted excheq-
uers filed only in legitimate, honorable
and becoming ways.-The Presbyte-

If our Sunday schools are turned into
Bible schools, where the very words OF
Holy Writ are studied and helps and
methods less depended ON, those who
teach and those who are taught will
derive that illumination which ever
comes from the entrance of the truth
of God. If the whole Church of Chris,
were to present a united front of such
a character instead of one Of hating
and declining faith in the book they
profess to love. an impression might
and would be made upon the world
Even were it impossible to induce the
visible church to unite in taking such
a stand. those who do it would at least
be faithful witnesses for the truth, and
the result could not be foretold.-Epis-

1.-THE weather sometimes played havoc
with those necessary eoncomitants OF
religious life in the far West-church
socia bies-if 1t did not put stop 10
church services altogether" writes Rev.
Cyrus Towsend Brady, in nsrrating his
experiences as "a Missionary in the Great
West" in Ladies Home Journal.
"On one occasion, in one OF my missions,
we had made elaborate preparations for
great crowd, which was kept at home ny
heavy rain. A few of Us who had
braved the storm were seated in much
discomfort in the parlor, expressing our
opinions with the freedom we all use In
like circumstances. A small daughter OF
the house, who had been an interested
listener, suddenly remarked. during
pause In the conversation: Now, you're
all mad at God because IT'S raining"

Dear Friends:
l wonder il there Is any one in the
world who has not some pet plan to
practice or some definite purpose awaiting
contamination, when there Is thine.
Next to the almost universal cry OF

rewarded for their waiting.
A lady possessed of artistic tastes, one
who really had natural talent, was so
situated that she had no time to use
pencil or brush. Duty called her to make
home for some near and dear to her, and
though at first unskilled in housewifely
arts, she persevered and allowed not her
waiting, disappointed hopes to cloud the
pathway OF Others. After years of this
experience, she opened her heart to a
friend and said 30 YOU know | am
looking forward to the time when all
these longings will be satisfied. / believe
IL never see the time in this world, that
in the life to come there will be time and
opportunity for the development of the
tastes and talents that were given us
here" But the way was opened for her TO
enjoy to the utmost the study of nature,
and in country rich in fruit and flowers
she had abundant time and opportunity
to do the work she loved so we'll.
When We get time how many pieces of
fincy work will be finished. how many
visits to old friends will be paid, how
much pleasure we will give to others and

REPUBLICAN RECORD
Splendid Showing of the Party by
Senator Wolcott.
Temporary Chairman of the National
Convention mt Philadelphia Re-
views the Administration
OF Mckinley.

Temporary Chairman Senator Ed
ward o. Wolcott of the republican ma
tional convention ut Philadelphia, June
10, made the following brilliant and
powerful address upon the record of
the republican administration during
the last four years:
Since the first party convention In
these United States. there was never one
gathered together under such hopeful
and suspicious circumstances as those
which surround us to-day. United,
proud OF the achievements OF the past
four years. our country prosperous and
happy, with nothing to regret and naught
to make US ashamed, with a record SPOT
less and clean. the republican party
stands facing tho dawn. confident that
the ticket II shall present will command
public approval and that in the declara-
tion OF Its principles and its purposes, II
VIII voice the aspirations and hopes of
the vast majority OF American freemen.
I'VE need no omen but our countrys
cause yet there Is significance in the
fact that the convention Is assembled In
this historic and beautiful city, where
we first assumed territorial responsible
tiles. when our fathers. n century and a
quarter ago. promulgated the immortal
Declaration of Independence.
THE spirit OF Justice and liberty that
animated them found voice three-quar-
tiers Of n century later In this same City
of 81 otherly Love, when Fremont led
the forlorn hope OF united patriots who
laid here the foundations OF our party
and PIT human freedom as It's corner
stone. 1t compelled our ears to listen
to the cry OF suffering across the shallow
