Rev. GiadinSha9in Dead.

The following short notice Of the death
Of Rev. Mr.. Giadinghagin is copied from
the Baptist Courier. Mr.. Giadinghagin
never failed to call at the office Of THE
TUNES on his rounds, and for long
time his photograph adorned the Editors
sanctum. Many Of the people of Union
will recall the old mans face and figure
for he visited many Of our homes. He
seldom came without offering to lead tho
family in prayer, and AS he departed he
never failed to ask for q contribution; {;
two pretty good traits for a preacher:
REV. VIM. Giadinghagin, the old
German Baptist preacher who frequently
visited the towns in the Piedmont section
Of the State, died at his home in G hero
koe county, Friday, Jan. 3, in the 18th
wear of his age. He was born in Athena,
Prussia. January 7, 1924, and came to
this section Of the country in tho year
1884. In 1867 he was ordained to the
ministry at the request of the First
Baptist church Of Mount Pleasant, Es-
sex county, Ontario, and at the time of
his death he was member of the Lime
stone Baptist church at Limestone, near
Gaffney.

The Jury Law Declared
To be Unconstitutional. I.

On Monday last the State Supreme
Court handed down q decision declar-
ing our jury law of 1900 to be uncon-
stitutional, nullsand void, sustaining
decision Of Judge Earnest Gary
rendered last fall at Gafiney.
The facts are about these: The
constitution of 1895 prohibits special
legislation, and our Supreme Court
has heretofore held that an act Is
special legislation unless 1t applies
alike to all the counties.
The jury law enacted in 1900 by
tho Legislature excepted five or six
counties from it's operation. Under
these facts the Supreme Court held
that said act violates the Constitu-
tion Of 1895, in that some of the
counties were excepted from it's oper-
alton. 1t Is the opinion Of some of the
lawyers hero that In consequences OF
this decision we will have no court
next week. But those concerned had
better be in attendance unless other.
wise notified by the proper authori.
ties, as nothing has been heard on
the subject from the presiding Judge,

1t is to be hoped that those who have
worked 30 faithfully to build up the
library and thus contribute 30 much to
tho public welfare will not lose heart.
In fact they are still pressing the work
II reports are true. The only thing one
fears is that because OF the limited in

enterprises the workers become dis
couraged. Every good institution, how
ever, has to fight hard for success The
good women who are persevering In their
Efforts to build up large, Hrst class
library, open to the public upon pay
mont Of q small yearly fee, deserve tho
gratitude aud the cooperation Of all our
citizens. Perhaps there are many per-

button to this enterprise during 1902, 1t
would be money we'll invested.

Compulsory Education.

The Governor, in his message this
year, advocates compulsory educa-
tion. He opens up the paragraph
dealing with the question of Educa.
tion in these words: "It is . princi-
pie now we'll recognized that the
safety Of the government itself re-.
quires that it give it's citizens the op-
portunity to fit themselves for an
intelligent discharge of their duties
to the State. Our form OF govern
ment itself, In which every citizen is
. ruler, and every ruler . public SER
want, depends for it's preservation
upon the enlightenment of the great
body Of our people," These are true
words. and should appeal to every
enlightened reader.
1t Is gratifying to note that tho
matter Of common school education
receives SO large share of the report.
"Public opinion depends for its On.
lightenment very largely upon the
free common schools, and the efforts
of the State should be directed prin-
cipally to tho improvement and per-
fection Of Its system Of common
school education, for it is to the COM
mon schools that the great majority
of the children must look for their
education" While We have large
number of children in our schools in
Union, and while there are many
children in the rural communities
that are attending school, there are
very many attending no school what
ever. This is great pity. Hsrs
are four schools for whites under our
Graded School system in Union.
Every child Is urged to attend. The
schools are free. 1t seems . sad
case that single child should fail to
got the benefits of our schools. Per-
haps the Governor is right when he
says: Ignorance is the worst Of
diseases, and the State has the right
to require that the children shall be
brought up in such way as to mako
the best possible oit!.ens." II looks
reasonable to suppose that every
parent would make every effort in his
power to give his child q good rudi-
mentary education, at least; but the
fact remains that many do not do 80.
Probably the best solution Is in some
system Of compulsory education, 40
Is urged in the Governors Message,
and by leading educators generally.

HEART STlMULANT.
Cold Applications Superior to Drafts
of Alcohol.

Cold Applications Superior to Drafts
of Alcohol.
There is deep seated belief amount
Ing almost to a superstition that alco-
hol is a very important heart stimu-
liant, especially when this organ is
weak. Winternitz, the great authority
on hydrotherapy in Germany, has
often told US Of the very great value
Of cold as a heart stimulant or tonic
and that it is far superior to alcohol in
this respect. DR.. Kellogg gives the
method Of application as follows:
"The application consists Of a COM
press applied to the portion of the
chest wall over the heart. This COM
prises the space bounded by the second
rib above, the risht border of the
sternum, line falling a half inch to
the right of the nipple and the sixth
rib below The compress should be
large enough to cover this space and
to extend at least two inches outside
of it. Ordinarily the best effects are
produced by employing water at a
temperature Of about co degrees. The
compress should be wrung moderately
dry and should be very lightly covered.
1t is desirable that cooling by slow
evaporation should be encouraged and
be continued for some time"
DR.. Kellogg continues: In Germany
and France it is the custom to admins
ter alcohol to the patient just before
putting him in cold bath. Some prac-
titioners. as Winternitz. administer but
a very small amount, single mouthful
Of wine, for instance, while others
give brandy in considerable quantities.
\ few American practitioners employ
brandy freely with the cold bath. The
unwisdom Of this practice will be APP
parent Oh due consideration Of the fol-
lowing facts:
zone purpose in administering the
cold bath is to secure true stimulant
or tonic effect by arOusng the vital
energies through eXcitatiOn Of the
nerve centcrs Alcohol was once sup
posed to be capable of efecting this
and was used for this purpose in ty-
phoid fever and various other morbid
conditions accompanied by depression
of the vital forces. At the present
time. however, it is well known. and
with practical unan!mity admitted,
that ale hOl is neither a tonic nor a
stimulant. but u narcotic, that it de-
presses and does not excite; that it
lessons and does not increase the ac-
tivity Of the nerve ccnters. and that
this is true OF small rs well as large
doses. as has been shown by the re-
searches Of careful investigators. -

PRESBYTERIAN REVISION.
Explanatory Rather Than Modi"-
cation OF Any Doctrine.

DIR. William Charles Roberts. presl-
dent of the Central university of Dan
vile. Ky, was the chairman OF the
committee appointed by the general as
semhly of the Presbyterian church 10
revise the Confession of Faith in 1870
and he is of course greatly interested
i'm ;he work of the committee having
that task in hand at the present time.
"Our committee was continued
through two years" said DIR. Roberts
eve made q number Of changes in the
Confession Of Faith. but nothing AFFECT
ing the system of the doctrine. 1t was
shifted to the church at that time, but
it would not answer at the present
time Our report would have been
adopted undoubtedly had it not been
that DR.. Charles A. Briggs came for
ward with his higher criticism OF the
Bible at the time, which served to com
plicate matters. and the revision was
put off for few years.
The church, however. has not been
satisfied to leave the subject in the
shape in which it was left, and two
years ago the present committee was
appointed with authority to take out
of our report whatever it desired and
10 add TO il as much as it saw fit, ac-
cording to the tendency of the church
at this time.
The new committee has run up
against a great many snags and is en-
Gagged i'm compromising, making few
changes, which are. by the way, more
in the nature of explanations than
changes. For example. where the doc
trine appears to be rigid, as in the case
of elect infants they will make the
REQUIRED explanation. The Presbyte
rian church never believed in the doc
trine of infant damnation. but that all
infants were saved. However, the use
of that word elect would imply that
there were infants who were not elect
which is a wrong Interpretation. we
believe and always have believed that
all infants are saved.
THE revision committee will very
likely succeed in compromising the
whole of the Confession by the way OF
explanations. but the changes will be
few. AS a matter of fact, the Comics
sion Of Faith was formulated in Eng
land by the greatest scholars of the
age. and they hammered it out so fine
that it is found almost impossible to
change it. 1t is not generally known.
but that Confession of Faith had to 60
through parliament and was discussed
word by word and sentence by sen
tence in the ordeal of debate. 1t was
the Confession of Faith of the Scotch
church. the nonconfOrmists, the Church
of the North. of Ireland and the Epis
copalians in an effort to form a creed
upon which all of them could unite.
and there were representative men
present and participating in the dis
cussion from each of those denomina
tons. They were members of the com
mittee that formulated the famous ar
ticles over which there has been so
much discussion" = Milwaukee Senti
