Chinese Duplicity.

A south sea islander said of his race.
"As soon as we open our mouths a lie
is born" The Chinese acknowledge
without shame the same of themselves.
1t may be true among western nations
that 'the affairs Of life hinge upon con-
fidence," but in the east, and especially
In China, they hinge upon suspicion.
There are few Chinese who attach any
Importance to keeping an engagement
Most of them are like the man who,
being accused of having broken his
promise, replied that it was OF no con-
sequence, as he could make another
Just as good. The Chinese say that
one should never refuse a request IN an
abrupt manner; on the contrary, he
should grant 1t In form, although with
no intention to do so in substance. Put
him off till tomorrow and then until
another tomorrow. Thus you comfort
his heart" they say.

The Lesson of the Feast.

But In all that vast throng there was
many sad heart, many hopeless
despair. To me Belshazzar's feast Is
better described by the artist by whom
| saw it pictured at Buffalo, n. l., In
the worlds fair of 1901. Ushered into
q dark room, we sat there awhile IN
total darkness. Then by the magical
effects Of lights. it slowly became
brighter and brighter, until, upon the
side of the wall, we could see dim hg'
ures begin to form themselves. They
looked at first like hideous phantoms'
Then. as it became lighter and lighter
until the whole room glowed with
light, we saw the inside of a huge
palace. There were the broad stairs
leading upward. There were the
bodies of men and women lying pros
trate upon the floor, amid overturned
tables and spilled decanters ana
broken furniture. 1t was scene OF
grandeur but also a scene OF hlthy
bestialities. In the center OF the stair

You Must BE Weighed.

Gods balances weigh every individ-
nal at the times when he feels inde-
pendent Of God as we'll as when he
feels dependent upon the divine mercy.
Never In all his life did Beishazzar
consider himself more Independent OF
his enemies than on the occasion OF
this sinful feast. The capital of Baby
lon was stocked with provisions enough
TO supply the city for many years. The
battering rams of the besieging army
had made no impression at all upon
the bronzed gates. The walls were too
high to scale. For two long years the
Persian hosts had been conducting a
futile siege. But history tells that on
the night of this famous feast, while
the king and his princes and thousand
aristocratic lords of his kingdom were
drinking themselves drunk, Cyrus, see

JUDGE AMOS C. sPEER IN RACE,
Announces for Office of Treasurer of
Sumter.

The Times Recorder failed to call
attention to the formal announcement of
Judge A. @. Speer for county treasur-
cry in yesterdays issue, and begs par
don of this honored old veteran for the
unlntentional omission, for there is no
man IN the county who is more worthy
of the recognition he asks, and none
more deserving of the suffrage of the
people than Judge Speer.
For many years he was the trusted
ordinary of the county, the duties of
which Office he administered with
ability, faithtulness and perfect hon
esty, serving rich and poor alike, dis
pensing justice to all in his kindly
manner which will endear him to the
people of Sumter. From his announce
ment elsewhere it will be seen that
Judge Speer asks to be elected county
treasurer. Judge Speer has served
his county in time of war and peace,
and has a host of friends who will now
rally to his cause,

DAMAGED STOCK IS DISPLAYED,
Beautiful Goods at Fifty Cents On The
Dollar.

Noah escaped the flood all right, but
Duncan or Americus did rot. The
stock of goods in his Montezuma
branch store was slightly damaged by
the flood there recently, when half the
town was inundated. Mr.. Duncan has
brought these goods to Americas and
is displaying them in a separate part of
his store here. There are dressgoods,
wash goods, shirts, underwear, hats,
caps, window shades, towels and q
hundred other lines. These goods, re-
ally, are not damaged to any extent,
but are to be sold at less than 80 cents
on the dollar. Only one third of this
great stock can be shown at one time,
but all of it will be sacrificed to close
at flood prices. The sale begins today.
