Epworth 0rphanage.
Hhe Way of Faith. 1

There is no institution which appeals
so powerfully to the love and sympathy
of the Christian public as our Orphanage
and there is none more deserving of their
hearty support No private home ever
turns out any finer specimens of man
hood and womanhood to bless the citizen
ship of our country than a we'll con-
Quoted orphanage under the influence of
Christianity. There is no money ever
invested in any charity of any kind which
yields such an abundant and profitable
harvest and no work which is more
Christ-like and blessed of God. The
Methodists of South Carolina ought to
be proud of the Epworth Orphange and
we believe they are. 1t should receive
their hearty and unanimous support and
no institution they have will be a greater
credit to them. But the Methodists are
just people like other folks and some
times get careless and forgetful. They
do not mean to be so, but it is human
nature to be so sometimes. Read the
following appeal, which we take from
the Southern Christian Advocate, pray
over it and let your contributions come
in at once. Anything given can be sent
to Rev. w. B. Wharton, Superintendent
Epworth Orphanage Columbia S. c.:
The following circular has been sent to
our pastors:
Our receipts have been so far below
our need tnlS year That we are compelled
to ask your immediate help and co-opera-
lion. December and January were far
behind the amounts usually received
during these months, and in February
we did not get more than half enough to
meet the expenses of the month. This
is sufficient to show you the state of our
treasury and should be sufficient appeal
to every generous and humane soul.
Please read this appeal to each of your
congregations and follow it with brief
statement about the Orphanage. Urge
the people to help at once to save us
from embarrassment and want. Take
collection if you think best, though we
do not ask this And we beg you to be
assured that we do not call on you for
help except when we are driven to it by
the urgency of our need. Read Psalm
Alb. Yours truly,
w. B. Wharton, Superintendent
G. III. Waddell, Financial Agent.

Father Boiled His Children Purposely.

Topeka, Ga, March pa most brutal
and inhuman occurrence is reported near
this place. Jim Swinney, big negro,
got tired of supporting his family and
put large tin tub of water on fire he
built out in the yard, and when the water
was steaming he put the youngest of his
ten children into it.
He threw a big handful of red pepper
into the boiling water and stirred it until
the child was dead.
SwinneJ had tied three of his little
children, but the others became scared
and with his wife ran away. After the
first child was dead Swinney took it out
of the water and put another child in.
Just at this time he was frightened by
neighbors who came running up, being
told by the children who had run what
their father was doing. When Swinney
saw the men coming he made for the
woods, but was caught, and although
some were in favor OF lynching, others
said let him be taken to Jail and be tried
by law. He was then delivered To
Bailiff Roper and lodged in jail.
The other child was taken from the
boiling water, but died in an hour In
great pain.

REDucTIo AID ABsuRDUM.

As soon as the editor of the Ooonee
News is driven from one false position
he fees to another. 1t is amusing to
trace his sipuous wiudings for the past
two months. He begins and ends with
dogmatic assertion, and in order to shut
off the light, 80 far as in him lies, he
studiously suppresses the appearance in
his columns of anything touching upon
the other view.
In his last issue he makes the burden
Of his song difference of five cents in
the price of 1000 note heads sold the
county on two different dates by The
Courier, and ten cents in the price of 500
envelopes on two separate dates. Every
intelligent person (he is excusable) knows
that there are different grades of mate
rial, and the same grade varies in mar
ket price at different dates. Again, why
does he not tell the public that the Oco-
nee News had suspended publication on
May 1st and May 9Th, 1901, and hence on
those dates the contract between the
two papers and the county did not
obtain? But since he pretends to think
80, we hereby offer to refund and pay
into the Treasury of Oconee county the
1926 excess over half rate on said adver-
tisemonts, and lot him also rtfund and
pay into the County Treasury the $11.9G
which he confesses he received in excess
of the contract price. What misera.
BILE excuse and subterfuge he adopts 70
