most difficult and perilous feats with the
aid OF a balancing pole. but he discards
the soft slippers he wears during the first
part of his act and substitutes pair of
riding boots. which are absolutely lack

CHRISTIAN CIVILIZATION.

That civilization has rested on Chris
tianity is palpably true, but 1t is not
one whit more true than the fact that
Christianity has woven itself into
every fibre of the civilization whose
triumphs 1t has 30 UNNECESSARILY in
creased. To dethrone Christianity
from its place IN the world today would
be the act of a mailman or fool.
We're it possible to do so, vast num-
bers of intelligent people who now
think themselves emancipated from IT
would strive for its restoration, not at
all because they thought it divine, but
because they had come to realize, as
they never had realized before, hSw
necessary it was to the progress of the
world.

THE FLIGHT OF RICHES.

The annals of the world, ancient and
modern, are full of the instability OF
human wealth and power. The death
of one of the Sprague family, the other
day, in comparative poverty, recalls
the fact that, not many years ago, they
wers among the wealthiest men IN
Rhode Island. They were pioneers in
the calico trade of the United States,
The American founder of the family
fortune was murdered and man exc
cD.ed for the crime; years afterward
another man confessed that he was the
real murderer, and the Spragues used
their influence to have capital punish
ment abolished in their state. The
most interesting member of the family
was William, the second of the name,
who became a governor, a United
States senator and a Union general. In
1878 the firm failed and great was the
fall thereof. In William Sprague's high
noon as distinguished manufacturer,
politician, soldier, and millionaire, he
married the beautiful and gifted
daughter Of Chief Justice Chase, whose
brilliant and miserable career was in
unison with that of her husband, from
whom she was divorced. Few couples
were more envied early in their union,
and few had more painful ending. To
the present and young generation

HAVE INVADED THE CEMETERY.

Zeal, passion and hatred oftimes
cause men to go to extremes to carry
their point, and certain 1t is that the
last extremity has been reached by ceE-
tain parties in Americas, citizens ad-
vocating the prohibition side in the
pending contest, aud who, for an ar
gument, have gone to Oak Grove Gem
etery here and, ghoul-like, torn open
the graves of the silent dead to feast
there-upon
These misguided zealOts, it is said,
have secured from the records of the
Cemetery the name of every white
male citizen of Americas and Sumter
county, merchants, business men and
farmers, buried here during the four
years of prohibition, even committing
the error of including the name of q
Lee county farmer buried here, as il
made the list longer by one name.
These self constituted judges, these
'holy- -holies," then, from theil
standpoint, publish and circulate this
list of the dead and state from wha'
cause these half hundred citizens o.
Americas and Sumter county died
1t seems incredible that men, mora
men, one of them Mason God save
the mark could prostitute themselveI
to such base, ignoble, despicable ends
The Times Recorder does not an(
will not believe that this despicable
contemplate, action has the sanction
of the many fair minded, generous mel
who are advocating the cause of prohI
bltion in Sumter, and they should GER
tainlY duprecate this low, foul, debaset
act of some of the zealots in their ranks
to tear open the graves of the dead.
Let the dead past take care of its
dead. Prohibition IS a living issue
and should be fought out far from the
vaults and walls of the cemetery.
If any city employee has had a hand
in this low, espisable business the
council should take cognizance of the
fact Immediately and afford him all the
time he wants to engage in politics
Remember, ye others, the biblical in
junction Judge not, least ye be
judged"

Forty-seven years ago Russell Sage
rented house from Elbridge T. Ger

nine years occupancy had his rent In
creased to SO, 900. Now he is paying
$12, 800, and next year it is said the
figures will be raised to $45, 600 per
annum This gives some idea of the
wealth that has accrued to New York
