ChapIain Milburn.

The senate's blind chaplain. the Rev.
DR.. w. II. Milburn. is a survival OF
Washington before the war 1t was In
1915 that he was elected chaplain OF
congress. Representative Abraham
Lincoln of Illinois nominated him. That
was ten years before John Sherman
and Justin S. Morrill, took their seats
in the house. "In those days" says
DR.. Milburn, zone chaplain offered the
prayer at the opening Of each branch
of congress, and the only way this
could be done by one man was to have
the senate clock kept ten minutes slow
er than the house clock. After l OF
fered the invocation in the house a
page would take nee to the senate

yeronica's handkerchief.

All women who visit ST. Peters at
Rome are shown the handkerchief OF
the pious matron, Veronica. who was
standing in front of her house In Jeru-
salem as Christ passed on his way to
the crucifxion and handed it to him
to wipe the sweat from his face. He
did so and left q distinct portrait upon
it.
Veronica herself brought the hand
kerchlef to Rome and upon her death
beuueathed it to Clement l., the fourth
pope, who was the head Of the church
from A. d. 81 to 100
The handkerchief is exhibited from

"At Plevna, Kan.." says the Kansas
CITY Journal, "a Joint keeper corner
ed the Rev. w. II. Houston in the post
office and informed the reverend gen.
tleman that he must take a licking on
account Of a temperance sermon which
he had preached the day before. All
right responded the parson cheerful
". and two minutes later the friends
of the joint' keeper were taking him
down to the butcher shop for the appli-
cation of beefsteak to a pair of beau
tiful black eyes, showing again the
low down, deceptive wickedness OF eur
theological seminarles in maintaining
physical culture departments"

ReIinion In Busin ess.

Again l remark that religion Is good
for worldly business. know the gen.
eral theory Is the more business the
less religion, the more religion the less
business. Not so, thought DR.. Hans In
his Biography Of a Christian Mer-
chant when he says: "1e grew in
grace the last six years of his life more
than at any time in his life. During
those six years he had more business
crowding him than at any other time" }"
In other words. the more worldly busl-
ness a man has the more opportunity
to serve God. Does religion exhilarate
or retard worldly business? is the prac-
teal question for you to discuss. Does
1t hang, like a mortgage, over the farm
Is it bad debt on the ledger? Is 1t
lien against the estate7 Does it crowd

Some of the Features That Are In
terestinr Enough to Excite Second
Thought.
At Edgefield, last Wednesday, "Jim
Cansler, of Tirzah," charged all Of his
opponents with having been bought up
by free passes used on legislative trips
to Charleston. The reporter for the
News and Courier and State does not
say whether or not there was any reply
to the charge.
There have been no more develop
ments in the quarrel between Wilborn
and Caughman. 1t seems that these
two belligerents are satisfied to let
each other alone for awhile.
The friends Of ]. H. Tillman and w.
]. Talbert had a yelling match at
Edgefield last Wednesday. 1t was like
unto the old time bowling down prac-
tice. Neither side was inclined to al
low the candidate of the other side to
speak, and the chairman found 1t I'M
possible to keep order.
Hon. George Johnstone is making
some entertaining speeches that are
full of elouuence. He is listened to with
Messrs. Evans and L.atimer held their
hands off of each other at Georgetown
last Wednesday; but it is not thought
that their quarrel is anything like over.
On the contrary, there seems to be an
impression that they are going to con-
tinue to plaster each other with mud
until both are eliminated from the race.
But that is purely a matter of specula-
ton.
1t is very evident that Mr.. Hemp
hill is developing considerably more
strength as he goes along than was gen.
orally conceded by the politicians as
possible. The people generally appear
TO have a recollection of his former rec
ord in congress, to Mr.. Hemphilrs
credit as man of ability, experience
and influence. Messrs. Elliott and
Henderson are beng favorably received,
and although neither is making a great
deal of noise. it is quite probable that
they are getting along in manner
that is entirely satisfactory.

THE ministers of Columbia have in
augurated a crusade against gambling
in the city. 1t is pretty generally un-
derstood that so far as gambling is con-
cerned, Columbia is a wide open
town. 1t is one of the worst towns in
the south. Everybody does not gam
BILE; but there are so many people ad-
dicted to the vice as to give it the
sanction Of public sentiment. Almost
any kind of skin game goes in Colum-
bia, and a stranger with money, unless
he avoids the gambling element, would
be almost as safe in the hands of
Arizona brigands. OF course, throat
cutting is not exactly common; but
there is even little of tnat along. Of
late, thoughtful people nave beeun to
show signs of alarm at what might
come in time unless there Is an attempt
at reform. Hence the commendable
efforts of the Christian ministers and
Of conservators of decency generally.

THE labor unions of the north know
no stopping place. The boycott is their
principal weapon, and they bring it into
play against non-union men at all times
and under all circumstances. The SER
vice at st. Patrick's Catholic church,
Scranton, Pa, last Sunday, was at
tended by a large number, Of union
miners. While the service was in pro-
gress a non-union man entered. In
stantly a union miner yelled "scab.'
The shout was followed by an uproar,
and the miners demanded that the
scab be asked to leave the church. Rev.
Father Murphy, in charge of the
church, declined to permit anything OF
the kind, and all the union miners
marched out. There were between $50
and 200 of them. They went to the
Polish Catholic church in another part
of town.

attendance on account of illness.
Speaking of the work of the school
to the reporter on Thursday, one of
the teachers said: II have been in
clined heretofore to look upon this
summer school business as a kind of a
hardship. 1t seemed to be that after a
teacher had been working hard for a
session, it was unfair to require the Id
Dor and expense of an extra month
like this; but 1 do not think that way
any more. The instruction we have
gotten in the two branches of grammar
and arithmetic alone, are worth all the
time and cost. 1 feel well repaid for
my trouble. Then again we have
found it very pleasant in Yorkvile
socially and otherwise, and l have no
complaint to make" Several other

Superintendent of Education Carroll
Prof. Daniel and Miss Chandler, all
express themselves as we'll pleased with
the earnest, faithful and intelligent
work the teachers have been doing.
Prof. Daniel said that he has, at diff
ferent times, been associated with var
ious groups of county teachers; but
from the standpoint of intelligence, en-
thusiasm and general efficiency, this
York county group is inferior to none
other that he has ever seen.
During Thursday evening the teach
ers were complimented with a drive
over the town Of Yorkville. It was at
the instance of Capt. w. B. Moore, of
the town council, and Mayor M. c. Will
lis. Mr.. Moore thought it proper that
the town show some appreciation Of the
presence Of so many guests from all
parts of the county, and after consulta-
tion with ...e mayor, extended an invi-
tation and ordered out all the handsom-
est carriages and traps from both livery
stables. In all there were dozen turn.
outs, providing so seats, and making ul
quite a novel procession. Mr.. Moore
accompanied by Mrs. Moore, led the
procession in a handsome pneumatic
tired buggy. Then followed Superin-
| tendent of Education Carroll and wife
in a handsome trap, then Capt and
Mrs. r. T. Stephenson, Of the K. M. M
A., then the teachers in carriages, with

The drive commenced at the summer
school rooms, led through all the prin.
cipal streets of Yorkville, past the site
of the proposed new graded schoo
building, the Kings Mountain Military
academy, the two cotton mills and the
pumping station, and terminated at the
boarding places Of the visiting teach.
ers. The teachers were highly pleased
with the compliment as we'll as the
delightful ride, and passed appropriate
resolutions of acknowledgement and
appreciation.
| The final examinations to determine
the results of the months work in the
summer school, and who are properly
entitled to certificates to teach, were
commenced yesterday, and will be con-
tinued today; but will be concluded ir
time to afford the opportunity for all
who desire to do so to leave on the
afternoon trains.
