Christian Sympathy.

Human hearts crave sympathy.
Christian sympathy is the very
essence of religion. 1t is the finest
fruit of noble character. 1t is the
faculty of entering into human con-
ditions, so that all mems burdens
become our own. The essence of the
life and teachings of Christ are con-
deased in the word sympathy" He
who sympathises with another so ia.
becomes one with him. You never
know what the poor have to suffer
until you have been where they are.
Real sympathy, however, assumes,
wherever practicable, tangible
form.
"Whoso hath this worlds goods,
and seeth his brother have need, and
shutteth up his bowels OF compassion
from him, how dwelleth the love OF
God in him ?" 1t is said in certain
story: A beggar asked for aims.
He who was thus approached felt for
money, and finding none, said
"Brother, / have none" "But you
said Brother" answered the beg
gar, "and that was an aims" There
is something of more intrinsic value
than money, and that is the sense OF
sympathy, feeling of brotherhood
He who doles out money may be
only passing on what was given to
him and what he no longer requires,
but he who offers sympathy offers d
part of himself. The power of Jesus
was manifested in his warm sympa.
thy for human want and suffering.
Here is where Christian people
fail more than at any other point
Christian Uplook.

Speaker Stevenson.

b When w. =. Stevenson entered the
House four years ago he was at once re-.
garded as an aordinary man. His
service in that body is q ohain Of suc-
cesses. He was born in Iredell county,
North Carolina, In 1881, of SCOTCH ances-
try. Educated himself, graduating from
Davidson college with highest hopora
after having taken two medals In senior
year. 81 y n 8l
That fell, 1885, he took charge of the
high school at Cheraw and studied law
under General W.. Il. T. Prince, whose
daughter Mr.. Stevenson married. Singu-
larly enough Mr.. Prince was one OF
Mr. Stevensoa's competitors yesterday.
He formed a partnership with General
Prince and is now associated with Mr.. d.
IS. Matheson. (.
In the class admitted in 1887 to prao-
tice law were Mr.. Stevenson, Senators
Blakeney and Mayfeld and Representa-
tive Rucker, who nominated Mr.. Prince.
Mr. Stevenson identified himself with
the Democracy of Chesterfield in 1888,
and has been valued member of the
county executive committee. ll
He has never been defeated In any can
didacy, Was flrst an alderman Of Che.
raw and later mayor until elected to the
House. He is a quick debater. with an
incisive manner, and a peculiarly at.
tractive, although awkward, delivery.
His rough and terrible fights in the
House prepared him for the great oon.
test with the master mind of the South.
ern Presbytern church, DR.. b. M. Palmer.
Mr.. Stevenson, though but a lay delegate
to the General Assembly, which met in
New Orleans, worsted the venerable
divine in discussion of church law and
polity. Mr.. Stevenson is now moderator
of the South Carolina Synod, the first
layman to hold that position.
Although conservative" he voted
without regard to faction, and tried
while in the General Assembly to oblite.
rate faotional lines and to heal old sores.

South Carolina War Claims.

Washington, January Id. Representa-
tive A. O. Latimer, Of South Carolina,
in company with some other members Of
the South Caroline delegation last week
was given a hearing before the Commit
tee on War Claims, In the matter of the
settlement of the State against the Fede.
raj Government. Mr.. Latimer speaking
of the matter said
y ST think tho government owes our
State big sum. On July 10. 1882, the
government settled with South Carolina
for money expended on account Of tho
war of 1912, and the Florida war with
the Indians. except 81, ,028.O2. The In
terest on this little item from July 10,
1882, until June 80, 1901, reaches tho
modest sum Of $S18,884.9e. But we owe
the government s125, 700 on bonded
debt incurred in 1866, and the interest
on that up to 1881, when the State was
ready to pay 1t, amounted to $125, ,750, or
a total Of $24S, S,7S7. But we could not
got settlement with the government in
1881, although we had the money to pay,
and wanted to pay, and now the govern
mont authorities want us to pay interest
up to date. They also object to paying
interest on the old unsettled accounts of
tho war Of 1912, and the Florida war, al
tn Ugh it was allowed many years ago to
Name, Maryland and Massachusetts.
You will see that it makes quite differ
ence how these matters are figured. One
way South Carolina has a debt, and the
other way she will have credit.
"The South .Caroliua delegation in the
House arc hopeful that the Committee
on War Claims may be brought to under
stand the matter as we do, which will
give the State neat sum of money for
her State treasury" II

ssVoOn>t oho JOuhR COuplo'
-Rev. o. j. Copeland, of Anderson,
very acceptably filed the Walhalla Bap.
tist pulpit last Sunday evening to the
delight and benefit of largo congrega
tion. His subject was the lifo and great
work of the Apostle to the Gontles. It
was grand and glorious theme and pre-
sented in masterful way by this young,
eloquent and talented minister of tho
gospel. Mr. Copeland, we understand
will preach in the Baptist church twice
a month at night, and on every fifth
Sunday morning and nights during this
year.
Last Sunday night the alarm of fire
was given about 7.30 O'Clock. A religious
meeting was in progress in tho Kaufman
Hall, and by accident q largo lamp was
knocked from table, tho oil spreading
and creating quite blaze. Some dam.
age was done to stage property, the largo
curtain being torn down for use in
smothering the blaze. BY prompt action
ON the part of those nearest the fire 1t
WAS soon put out with little damage to
the hall. 1t is claimed by sDme that this
was not an accident, but "Touclling
Incident and Remarkable Answer to
Prayer" as the exhorter was calling for
about seventeen different kinds of fire to
consume the wickednoss of the old town.
A holiness "flre. baptized" dance was in
progress at the time, and somo ono did q
two.step backward against the table. A
preacher from the lower part of the
county had charge of tho meeting. In
some sections the adherents of "flre.
baptism" "the holy Dance" and othor
kindred beliefs are numerous, but it is
something out OF the ordinary to witness
the ceremony" here.

TRAIN is DITCHED.
Southwestern Express wrecked Near
Greensburg, a, and Three Pas
ScnEers Are Injured.

Pittsburgh, Pa. July The
Southwestern express on the Penn
sylvania railroad. known as train No.
p, was ditched at the East End sid
ing, two miles east of Greensburg,
Pa, at an early hour Saturday morn
ing. Only three passengers were
hurt, and their injuries were not of
a serious nature Their names are:
Louise Hutton, Brooklyn, n. Y; J..
j. Harrison, Louisville, Ky; H. Il.
Lloyd, Cincinnati, o. The other pas
sengers escaped with shaking up
and the injured were able TO con-
tinue on their way.
1t is thought that the accident was
a deliberate attempt at train wreck
ing, and a searching investigation
will be made. The switch had been
turned and the lock broken but the
engine, express and combina ton bag
gage ears got over safely, The last
truck of the first sleeper jumped the
track and the four sleepers follow
ing were thrown over against the
embankment. The passengers were
transferred to another train and
brought TO this city.

cial to the News from Portland, Ind.
says: Train No 81 on the Panhan-
die crashed into the north bound
Grand Rapids & Indiana passenger
train at Ridgeville Saturday morning.
The locomotive hit a coach, which
was toppled over and jammed
against the depot. The coach was
badly damaged and two passengers
were hurt. The Panhandle engine is
iammed into the wreckage so hard
that traffic will be blocked for sew
eral hours. One of the injured is
Rev. G. H. Hill, of Richmond. His
hand was badly mashed.
