Monday Night.

The First Methodist church was
crowded and the interest intense when
Mr.. Stuart arose Monday night to make
the preliminary remarks to his sermon.
Mr.. Stuart said he was anxious for a
profitable service that night He illus
trated two men standing upon a preci-
pice at the river. He and a friend
were standing near One man jumped
over into the water the friend plunged
in and rescued him. He walked up
to the other and quietly led him away
before he could go over the precipice
Which did the most good? Both did
the same good ultimately. You can t
break some people from doing things,
but bless your life, you can create a
sentiment to keep others from follow
ing. Some people won't stay by any
thing that means piety and downright
christianity. Mr. Stuart said he de-
Tended piety and spoke against any
thing that hurt it, and he was willing
to meet this old world at the Judge
ment bar with every word he had said.
People criticiZed-many did so who
had never heard him preach and the
meanest criticism, said Mr.. Stuart, is
second hand criticism. There is no
victory without a fight, and no fight
without some one getting hurt. Some
people wake up too late. They did
not see what was coming to their boys
and girls. Live a plain, simple,
humble, christian life. A dangerous
thing TO families is money-especially

ROBBERS STILL AT WORK.
Enter Mrs. 0steen's Residence and
Steal SiIverware China and
Eatables.

Robbers and thieves were at work
again Sunday night They entered the
residence of Mrs. D. +. Osteen while
the family were attending services
at the Tabernacle, carrying off a set
of fine china ware, all the silver, and
about so half gallon jars of fruit,
preserves, marmalade, and two dozen
glasses of jelly. Coffee and few eat
ables were also taken. The silver con-
sisted of spoons, knives. forks, etc.
Some were Mrs Osteens wedding
presents and others heirloome in her
mother family. The latter had her
grandmother initials. P.-Sne
Peebles-upon them The house was
set atire in two places, whether ac-
cidentally or not, is net known. The
lamberquin ON the mantel in the
parlor was burned, as was also all the
pictures thereon, and the walls were
smoked and scorched up TO the ceiling
The fire-screen and lamberquin in the
dining-room were also burned and the
walls scorched. The police have been
at wo rk, but no clue as yet has been
found.
There is no doubt that there were
several in the gang for they could
not have gotten away with what they
did in the hour and half the family
was absent. 1t must be robbers here
abouts, too. TO want preserves, fruit
etc, in such quantities as they car

lovel ike mothers love. Boys, girls,
don I disgrace your mother; give your
heart to God and honor mother.
Beautiful examples in the Bible of
faith, humility, charity chastity. Civ
ing, fidelity, hospitality; all splendid
examples of christian virtue were
found in women. She is the genesis
of all good; useful if she gives her
life to God. Nothing hurts. her
put sin. She is the queen in every
community where God is king
She is the slave of brutal passion in
every land and cline and country
where the christian religion is not
known.
Young women, older women, turn
your backs upon all worldliness and
say I'll honor God with my life, till
| die; no unclean thing shall enter my
life or my home.

Business men, worldly men, do You
pray2 Oh, that we would read the
Bible more, and pray in secret, and
have family affairs We have no time
for prayer but we feed these old
bodies of ours. If you will get TO
work along this line, you will know
the sweetness and pleasure of living
near to God, and will get along in life
so much better. TO plow easily and
smoothly you must keep the mold
boards clean. Keep the old mold
boards of life rubbed up and the
duties of life will run smoother than
they ever did before
We need to pray that's what's the
matter. We are starving to death
Oh God help you to pray in secret
and around the family altar, and to
study Gods holy Word.
Mr.. Stuart made three propositions
at the close of his sermon. He wanted
all to shake hands with him who would
accept either of these propositions.
First. to read the Bible more second,
to attend to secret prayer; and third,
TO have family altar. As each person
shook hands they were to whisper
which they would take, first, second.
third, or two or all; and Mr.. Stuart
and the pastors who are helping him,
We're kept mighty busy shaking hands
for some time, so many responded;
among the number being very many
who have been lukewarm III their
religion heretofore, and some who
were not church members at all, but
are earnest seekers for the truth
Another invitation was extended to the
unsaved to come and kneel at the altar
for prayer, and great number went
1t was touching, blessed meeting,
and every one seemed to be resolved to
burn the bridges behind and turn their
faces Godward henceforth.

Fierce Battle Near VlakfOntein.
British Lost Z Officers and SIS
Men Killed. Beers Left Al
Dead on Field. Rear
Guard Surprised.

London, June 4.-Lord Kitche-
ner, iu a dispatch from Pretoria,
dated June 4, says:
"Dixon's report of the fighting
at VIakfontein, 40 miles from
johannesburg, May 20, gust re
ceived. On our side, 1850 men
with seven guns were engaged.
The force was returning to camp
at Vlakfontein when the enemy
under cover of a veldt fire, rushed
the rear guard, consisting of two
e ans of tb" 2Sth battery and $50
men of the Derbyshires and Yeo-
manry. They temporarily captur-
ed two guns. When the remand
er of the force came into action
the Beers we're driven off, the
guns were recaptured and the
Beer position was occupied. Our
casualties were six officers and 81
men killed, six officers and 115
men wounded and one officer and
seven men missing. One officer
and four men have since died of
wounds. Forty y-one Beers were
killed on the ground. The further
Beer casualties are not known.
Reinforcements are being sent. )"

Basis of Indemnity Arrangement
Practically Settled

Washington, June 6.--Ambas-
sacors from most of the European
countries were in conference with
Secretary Hay today, mainly be-
cause it was diplomatic day, which
afforded an opportunity for dis
cusslng the State of the Chinese
negotiations. 1T is understood
that middle ground on .he modus
vlvendi, as it is referred to, con
corning the form of payment of
the indemnity is likely to he
settled by Joint and several
guaranty.
This will be in complete accord
with the American view that there
should be no JOINT guaranty, in
the sense of binding each govern-
mont to securing the payment of
the entire 1897, 100000. 1t will
be joint, however, in the formal
aspect of being executed by all of
the powers jointly, ut the same
time and probably in the same
instrument.
This instrument doubtless will
include provision by which
each government is to assume no
liability beyond the amount of its
own share of the indemnity, in
the case of the United States, is
limited to S25, 100000.

Col Wilson, with -24O of Kitche-
ner's scouts, has surprised and
routed 400 Beers belonging to

100 prisoners and all their wagons
and supplies, including 5000 cat
tie, in the hands of the British.
The loss Of the latter was killed
and Is wounded.
Beyer's command arrived on
the scene soon after the engage
ment, but failed in an attempt to
recapture the supplies. Boyer

Senator MCLaurin
WlthdraWS Resignation
He will Use His Own Judgment
In Voting Upon National Cues
tions and Will Not be Bossed
by Any One, Etc.

Senator McLaurin, IN response
to the chiding of Gov. McSweeney,
has withdrawn his resignation.
This will now no doubt, be follow
ed by similar action on the part
of Senator Tillman, who has al
ready declared that he would not
withdraw his resignation until Nc
Laurin had done so. There is
some speculation as to whether or
not Tillman will resign next sum
mer in order to meet McLaurln
and try conclusions in the
primary.
/. Governor McSweeney yester-
day received the following letter
from Senator McLaurin:
Bennettsville, 5. G. June 1, 1901,
Governor M. B. McSweeney.
Dear Sir: Your letter of the
31st of May, in which you decline
to accept my resignation as Unit
ed States senator, is received.
The grounds upon which your
declinatlon is predicated are, that
the people are entitled to one year
OF peace and freedom from politi-
cal battles and bitterness" and
that campaign this year would
be ga calamity to the State to be
torn asunder by u heated canvass
in the off year In politics without
any possible good to come of it.
AS an additional reason you sug-
gest that any disturbance of the
harmony of the people in their
work for the advancement of the
material prosperity of the State
might resultin retarding this pro-
gress.
l appreciate fully the force of
the reasons given by you, and the
effects upon the people of the
State of a heated and strife-pro-
ducing contest for United States
senator this year. For the sake
of the "peace, prosperity and
happiness of the people of this
State" | am willing to hold On
to my commission as United
States senator, and to continue to
serve the State as have done in

the past to the "best of my abili-
ty. But in retaining my seat
In the senate, | will not consent
to be handicapped or "bossea'
by any one claiming right to
Judge my motives and action. |
propose to exercise my judgment
on all nationst questions under the
influence of "a high sense of re-
sponsibility to the people, and to
work for the upbuilding of the
political and material interest of
my State. l recognize fully my
accountability to the sovereign
people, and am always ready to
give a strict account of my official
acts to them.
Your suggestion that it is not
your purpose by your official
action "to prevent the fullest and
freest discussion of all public
questions and the education of
the people along all political
lines' is in accord with your
patriotic course in reference to
the designations. The people are
entitled to hear both sides of these
questions and to form a Judgment.
Personalities and bitterness in
Joint debate would interfere with
q fair and full discussion of them,
and instead of education would
mislead and deceive them. All
that | have claimed is this right
of the people and my right to en-
tighten them on these questions
whenever called upon. In my effort
to do this, | was interfered with
by the senior senator, who affirm
ed that my doctrines were politi-
Cal heresies and hurtful to the
people. My wish is that all
public questions may be freely
and fully discussed before the
people and | will be content to a
bide their decisions upon them.
In consenting tn hold my com
mission, l wish it understood that
lit is in response to your patriotic
appeal that it Is for the good of
the State and not because | feared

discuss with the senior senator or
others the national Issues of the
day. l am public servant of the
people, and it is my duty and
and pleasure always to promote

A Porto Rican Rises In
His Might
To Demand a Territorial
Government.
Situation Different From That of
Hawaii or Philippines.

Washington, July 10.--(Spl) )-Senor
Frederico Degetau, resident commits
6ioner from Porto Rico to the Ulfrted
States, claims, despite the Supreme
Court decisions, that his countrymen
are American citizens. He also de-
clares that territorial form of gov
ernment Is the only species adapted to
the island.
To prove his first contention. he
quotes the treaty of Paris. and shows
that its application to Porto Rico is
different from that to Hawaii or the
Philippines. Moreover, he cites the
fact that Americans participated ia
his election, and that one, at East
is n member of the Porto Rican House
of Delegates.
Under present conditions he says
Porto Ricans have no adequate means
0f making their wants known to this
Goydrpment and must demand the
representation accorded to territories
of the United States.
