SWEET WATER MEETING.

The writer had the pleasure Sur.
day of attending the annual series of
protracted meetings then in progress
at Sweetwater Baptist church. Rev.
Harrison of Wayne county and Rev.
P. G Hillman Of Washington, alter
mated in the preaching. Rev. Alex
Breland of Washington, who is the
pastor in charge and Rev. Malone, a
local divine, were powers behind the
pulpit.
As usual large crowd was in at
tendance, something over two hun
dred souls. The church is a spacious
one, and has seating capacity for a
big congregation. All the surround
ng country was we'll represented in
the concourse assembled there. The
Big Greek settlements were out in ell
most full force. Washington and 9th

to swell the crowd Scott sent up a
small delegation. We recognized the
familiar faces of many Leakesvillians
among the assembly. Dinner was
served on the ground between morn

in evidence, and were seemingly max

were productive of much apparent

to Your ExcellencY that, at the Sep

Petitioner says that the man Dykes,
who was killed, was desperate char
acter, he, himself, having killed prior

he having in the presence of petit
toner who was nnder the influence Of
LIQUOR at the time insulted the wife Of

believing that seid Dykes had spoken
10 his wife in the manner he did In
order to lead petitioner into IN alter

The bubonic plague is the most stub
born OF epidemics. 1t seems to be
almost impossible to exterminate this
Black Death even with the utmost
efforts of the ablest doctors. The dread
OF cholera and yellow fever has been
much lessened in recent years, and the
medical profession has fought valiantly
and VIGOROUSLY against many an in
lection and many a contagion. But
this plague can not be annihilated as
yet. Fortunately in these days it is
not grave menace to the great cap
itals of the world. But it is still a
dread spectre in filthy quarters OF
cities, both OF the Orient and the Occi-
dent, in which the conditions of clean
and wholesome living are neglected.

1t is an encouraging sign for the
health of the modern American that
the popularity of outdoor life in the
United States seems to be increasing.
The number and variety of sports and
pastimes which allure to open all
exertion has grown greatly Not very
many years have elapsed since the
time when tennis and foot ball were
unusual and golf and the bicycle were
almost unknown. Yet the influence
of these and other sports has been sc
strong in recent years that open-ail
life has come to be enjoyed for its
own sake and apart from the amuse
ments associated with it. 1t is a mis-
take to suppose that the pleasures
of outdoor life are especial privileges
of youth or of any given type of sum

advantages they confer should BIZ
shared by all alike. In the presen
