time being limited, we took the road
about II o'clock for the next point,
it being at VIM Westmoreland's, at
Samaria. Bill is clever fellow and
he and his son are doing a good mer-

well for the satisfaction of the inner

evening we were delightfully."- enter

The next morning We arrived at
Batesburg and found business quiet
but firm; the merchants, while not
unduly exuberant over the present
condition of trade. we're not depress

when the trade winds would be more
favorable and business would become
hrisker. They realize that into
every life some rain must fall and the
sunshine sometimes be darkened by
clouds. The dull season is reason.
ably accounted for from the fact that
the farmers are very busy with their
farm work and have housed good
amount of supplies. There are some
buildings going up and other i'm
provements being made. Batesburg
is one of Lexington's largest and
most progressive towns and its
future is filed with bright promises
of other business apd social achieve
ments. We took dinner with that
staunch and patriotic citizen, as we'll
as cultured and Christian gentleman,
DIR. W. 81. Zimmerman, and that
clever and popular young man, MIR.
John Bell Towiil. The honors OF
this pleasant and hospitable home
were dispensed by Miss Towill, the
twin sister of Hon. John Bell Towill,
young lady of rare attainments and
of culture and accomplishments.
We arrived in beautiful Leesville-
the city of broad streets, handsome
residences, pretty women and gal
liant men-rather late and put up at
the we'll kept and deservedly popu-

Lexington's best housekeepers and

wants of the sojourner beneath her
roof at moderate charges. Her rooms

quiet but the merchants were in
good spirits. DIR. Kinard has opened

The next firm that will soon be add

There are several new cottages in
the course of construction and when

A party of Beers is aboard the steam
ship MiOwera on a tour of the British
Empire, as the guests of the British
government to look into the agriCultu-
raj methods and resources of the En-

valuable to them in rehabilitating them
selves, and in re-establishing them
selves as farmers. The party consists
of Mr.. and Mrs w. l.. JoOste, Mr.. and

what has been done and can be done in
an agricultural way with a view to
bringing new methods into the agriCul-

LABOR UNIONS SHY.
Have Not Endorsed The Merchants
Association Circular.

The committee appointed by the
Builders and Traders Exchange to
look into the matter of the endorse
ment OF the Merchants Association i'm
migration circular met last evening
and finally decided to go ahead without
waiting for the labor and trades uni
ons. The committee expected a COM
munication from the Carpenters Union
before they adjourned, but none came
to hand.
The committee will report back to
the Exchange on Friday after having
looked into the resolutions asking GER
tain requirements from the planters in
exchange for the endorsement. They
will look up the statistics as to Orien-
tai population in relation to the cane
industries and will draft a letter to the
Merchants Association stating on what
terms they will add their support to
the restricted immigration matter.
The Trades Unions will be approach
ed separately by w. w. Harris for the
Merchants Association, and it is
thought the action of the Exchange is
all the labor men are waiting for. The
matter is to be settled this week If
possible.

Fourth Quarter. Lesson VIII. Nov. 2S, 1902. Isaiah xviii, 1-13.
 Worlds Temperauce Lesson.

Worlds Temperance Lesson.
 Ephriam occupied a fertile territory. stretching across the heart of Palestine frcm the Mediterranean to the Jordan. In the midst stood samaria, the capital. on a commanding eminence. The tropical iuxuriance of the valleys hung aoout 1t like the bacchanafian garland on the brow of the banoueter. And its exuber- ance was as evanescent; for it's glorious beauty was . fading flower. Destruction was at hand.
 The capital, court and people were en- slaved to drink Under its subtle delusfon they were in perfect ease. With the pro- verbal stupidity of the drunkard. they felt perfectly safe, trusting in the noun tain fastness of Samaria. With sense of justice blunted by the use of intoxicants, and their basest passions !nflamed, they oppressed the poor and crushed the needy. With the unsuitable thirst which the use of alcoholic liquors always begets, they kept crying. Bring and let us drink the Samaritan equivalent to our modern bacchanal. Here's . health to you" (Amos vi, 1.)
 But the judgments of God are abroad. The irresistible Assyrian. Shalmaneser. mighty and strong, is Gods instrument of wrath. He looks upon Samaria like pe- culiarly tempting morsel; like fig ripe in June, so rare and succulent that one swallows 1t as soon as 1t 10 in his hand does not even think of laying it aside to preserve it or eat 1t at his leisure. His coming will be like tempest of hail, a destroying storm, flood of waters; figures peculiarly impressive fin that lati- tude, where in an hour the dryest water course becomes an awful torrent. This prophecy had its literal fulhllment 72l B. C., in the ninth year of Hosea, king of Israel. The country was ravaged by the Assyrians under Shalmaneser, and Israel deported into the cities of Assyria and Media. @ Kings xviii. s-12)
 The prophet now turns from Israel to Judah. He contrasts the imperishable crown and diadem, glorious and beautiful, rewards of piety, on the brow of Judah. the righteous and faithful residue, with the fading garland of voluptuous pleasure on the brow of drunken Ephriam. God shall help Judahs judges on the bench and her warriors at the gate.
 But Judah, too, is not free from this degrading sin. Even her priests and prophets are infected with It. And the people will not endure the prophets re- bukes. Listen to their drunken scoffing Docs Isaiah presume to instruct us? Does he take us to be just weaned. that he adopts such childish way? Here and there. with no set order. and coming his words over, as if we were still in our primers,
 Tzav lat-zav. tzav lat-zav,
 Quv laquv, quv laquv.
 The prophet rejoins: An! if you will not let me teach you. then the Assyrians and Babylonians shall. and their foreign accent win seem more like stammering and twAddle than my Instructions" If they had only hearkened to the prophets s voice. they might have found rest from warlike preparations, and that more
