Willing TO HelD.

A story comes of the pastor of strug-
Cling but enterprising little church who
was making fervent appeal to his con-
gregation for funds toward new build
ing, says the Philadelphia Times. When
he paused in his argument, well-dressed
gentleman arose, stepped forward, ex-
planned that, although stranger in their
midst, he had taken an interest in their
effort, and asked to be permitted to sub
scribe thousand dollars. Ofcourse, the
pastor was amazed; single contribution
of $40 would have been as high as his eX-
pectations.
MY dear BROTHER" he exclaimed, may
I ask your name?"
Smith, sir. l have just settled in
business in the neighborhood."

''the Lord will reward you, and will in
crease your business a hundred-fold? /,
my family, every member of my congre-
CATION, am sure, will assist you. See!-
| appeal to them, sir?' And turning to
the congregation, the pastor asked
Now, everybody present who will help

Campaign Meetings.

The State campaign opened Tuesday the
meeting for State candidates being held at
Sumter and the aggregation for United
States Senator speaking at Columbia.
The senatorial meeting was very quiet
and tame, as we'll as being slimly attended,
only about 400 persons being present. All
the candidates spoke and declared their
views on national issues, there being no
practical difference in the position of any
of them.
At Sumter J. II. Tillman put little
ginger into his speech in regard to W. j.
Talbert, and it seems that there will be
friction between these two candidates.
Both are running for governor, and are
from the same county: Edgetield. D. G.
Howard, candidate for governor, was
the only speaker who was greeted with
any enthusiasm, and he was heartily ap-
plauded at intervals throughout his
speech, which was 4 strong and clear-cut
outline of his position on all issues.
w. F. Stevenson, for attorney general,
made vigorous speech, and took full ad-
vantage of the vulnerable places in the
speech of his opponent, NJ. Gunter, and
made fun at his expense to the amuse-
ment of the audience.
All. the other speeches were tame.
Tillman, however, attempted to explain
the charge of falsifying the record of the
Senate, but his explanation did not satisfy
the crowd
1t is very plain that thepeople are tired
of the campaign meetings, as this meetin
was called to order with 1893 persons
present. The number gradually increased
until about 300 were in the house, but
most of these left at dinner time. The
meeting was closed with mere handful

Sam: Jones on Tom Dixon.

In the Atlanta Journal recently, Sam
Jones was writing of Tom Dixon's novel,
The Leopard's Spots. He concluded
his remarks on the book by saying, Get
the book and read it, you can never for
get it, and then writes as follows con-
cerning its author:
tom Dixon's lectures sparkle and
scintillate and thrill and move men. He
is live wire, mind how you tread upon it.
If he had been a locomotive engine he
would have been the 999 pulling the EN-
pire State Express on the New York Gen.
tral railroad; if he had been cyclone he
would have made things whirl and tumble
from one end to the other; if he had been
a horse he would have trotted it in two
minutes two and half seconds; if he had
been dog he would have been grey
hound. Hurrah for Tom and his book. If
Tom had as much religion as he has got
fire and vigor and enthusiasm and brains
he would set this country on fire. But
God gives all things to no man. Tom has
got religion enough to behave himself as
a rule, and that seems to be about as much
as the average fellow has these days"

How He Proposed.

He wished to propose to the girl Of
his choice, but he was nervous. First
he thought Of the old romantic style:
"By my halidom, fair one, would
fain take thee for my bride. Say thou
wilt be mine, and ere the sun gilds the
turrets of yonder castle the friar shall
unite us in holy bonds"
In the face Of the prevalent rage for
dramas Of the olden style, this form
seemed satisfactory. Being an eminent
ly modern young man, however, he
thought again and determined to test
the theatrical mode.
But just at that moment the fair
Mary tripped into the room, and he
blurted out:
"Er-Mary-er-will you-er-welp-
But Mary was far from being con-
trary. "Oh, that's all right, George" B."
said she, 81 know what you mean.

delighted. York Herald.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

The average life Of raspberry planta-
tions Is about six years.
With grapes the rule should be to dig
deep and plant shallow.
For roofing the best cutting Of a
plant is a shoot Of new growth just be-
fore it grows woody or at all fibrous.
Trees about the house make it more
attractive and homelike, besides shield
ing it from the cold winds Of winter
and the hot suns Of summer.
Cut tue young trees back when plac-
ing them in the ground and also trim
off some Of the roots, especially those
that are bruised or broken In any way.
Fruit trees cannot thrive on all kinds
Of exhausted soil. The trees will make
a growth of leaves and wood on poor
land, but they require mineral manure
to perfect the fruit.
In most cases when planting shade
trees the hardness of the trees should
be given preference over rapid growth.
1t is Of no advantage to secure shade
tree early only to have it die when
most useful.
