ner rejoice and be glad. The
very struggle between grace and
sin is essential to the production
of spiritual fruitage. Think when
grace was frs:3 introduced into
Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria. and
since, to the uttermost parts Of
the earth. Kingdoms, kings,
great institutions and mighty
men opposed it because it was so
opposed to them. And yet grace
has subdued, controlled and
brought forth out of these, splen-
did spiritual fruit, to the glory
and praise of him who hath re-
deemed US. One can almost fan
cy that the barren earth opposes
the forces introduced only long
enough to be pervaded by the
new and strange influence, and
then tasting the sweetness of an
entirely new inducement to a bet.

yields. '.Great is the reward"
So is that poor sinners strug-
gle against Gods grace, but on
ly until they taste and see that
the Lord is good. Struggle
there must be, persecution and
reviling even, but these must
yield, yea, are yielding to the
gentle but all-pervasive power of
Gods wonderful grace.

Fitz McMaster has left the
business management of the
Charleston Post to take charge
of the circulation management
of the Columbia State. The Post
has lost very'valuable man and
The Statenas gained one. Mr..
McMaSSer is not only a newspa-
-Der man of ability, but he is also
a sound, practical business man
ager. as his work on The Post
has proven, and with all of this,
he is a gentleman, who makes
friends as fast as he comes IN
tact with men. We congratulate
The State for securing his SER
vices and we wish for him pros
perity in his old-new field.

That South Carolina will have
an exhibit at st. Louis now, we
feel quite sure. At a meeting of
the commission in Goxernor
Heyward's Office last Thursday
evening, the reports were 50 en-
couraging that it eenthused the
body LFhe commission is com
posed of II members, of which
number, an executive committee
of five has been placed in charge
of the details; the names Of this
committee is sufficient to insure
success.
r. G. Rhett president Peoples
National bank of Charleston,
Col. Robert Aldrich Senator Of
Barnwell county, Leroy Springs
President Lancaster cotton mills,
T. C. Duncan President Union
cotton mills, e. B. Clark Gen
eral Manager of the Columbia
street railway.
These gentlemen represent
various business interests, and
they are strong believers IN ad-
vertising the resources Of this
State. A majority of this com
mittee are among the largest tax
payers in the State men who
understand the need of inviting
to this Stare immigration. The
membership Of this committee
represent in personal interests
more than two millions Of dollars
in well paying property in this
State, and their willingness to
serve and to help the State to
have a place at the worlds fair
is a genuine display Of patriot
ism. It should stimulate others
to action, every member of the
general assembly should take
the action of these men as sign
that those who have taxes to pay
are willing for an appropriation
to be made for the State to show
to the world what is here to in
duce Drawn and capital, that we
may build up our waste lands
and infuse rich blood into our
commercial body.

A Great Temperance Sermon,

It was not preached by a min
lister, nor even from a pulpit. 1t
did not come from a Christian
Church, but from the prison
where Thomas Sharkley was con-
fined for the murder of Mr.. Fish,
the New York banker. Thomas
Sharkley himself was the preach
er, and this is what he said: eff
Mr.. Fish had not been drinking
and I had been sober, there would
not have been any trouble, and
Mr.. Fish would be alive and /
out of the Tombs.
There is the whole sermon. 1t
will not take long to read it; IL
will take a good while to think
about it. eff Mr.. Fish had not
been drinking'-he probably
would not have been in such a
place with such companions, his
home would not have been desc
lated, and his character blacken-
ed. :sIf Thomas Sharkley had
been sober-he. would not have
had any trouble with an old man,
and would not be facing the ex-
treme penalty oflaw, and, possib-
ly, feeling the torture of repen-
tance."
IF it were not for drink, 90 per
cent of the crime which brings
it's suffering and expensive upon
the country would be done away.
If il were not for drink, thous
ands of wretched novels would
be happy homes, multitudes of
miserable people would be in COM
fort, myraids of hopeless children
would be full of the promise of
Joy. If it were not for drink.
much of the political corruption
would be impossible, and most of
the disturbances of peace would
be removed. fit were not for
drink. vast sums of money could
and would be turned into chan
nels of usefulness, and material
comfort, educational advantages,
moral instruction and spiritual
inspiration would be fostered.

The great head of the Roman
Catholic church, Pope Leo XIII,
died last Monday afternoon at 4
O'Clock, surrounded by cardinals
from all over the world, relatives
and members of the Papal court.
The funeral ceremonies will ex.
tend over nine days. The re
markable vitality Of the aged
Pope has been the wonder Of the
reading world. For about two
weeks it was a struggle with old
age but through it all his mind
was clear and his plous devotions
never for a moment overlooked.
Pope Leo was a pious man, a
scholar and a statesman, and
when the historian writes his
life it will be a work of education
al value.

We cannot understand why

We cannot understand why it
is, but persons desiring to go
out Of the State or to any Of the
summer resorts in this State can
not purchase tickets at the local
depots, which is a great incon-
venience to the travelling public.
It seems to us that the railroad
authorities might effect an ar
rangement by which tickets can
be sold at all of the stations. If
a party wants to so to New York
or Glenn Springs from here, it
is very inconvenient to make the
ticket purchase at Sumter which
must be done, unless as a matter
of accommodation the local
agent here buys the ticket the
day before. Of course the rail
road people know their business
best, but it will be much more
convenient to be able to buy
tickets for all points at the local
stations.

Rejoice and Be Exceeding Glad.
BY H. R. MYERS.

Jesus said BLESSED are ye
when men shall revile you and
persecute you for
my sake. Rejoice and be exceed
ing glad for great isyour reward
in heaven" Here is a statement
of present condition with a prom
ise of future blessing and reward.
Righteousness is actively oppos-
ed by unrighteousness, but the
righteous are blessed or happy,
anc. are to rejoice because un-
righteousness is to be overcome.
In the recovery of nature from
her barren condition there must
be the introduction of foreign
forces, which must struggle with
the earth, so tospeak, before the
barrenness developes into fruit
fulness. The earth must be
grubbed, plowed, fertillized, be-
fore the sun, air and rain can
work with it IN bringing the seed
sown into a rich harvest. The
grubbing, plowing, fertilizing,
the sun, air, rain, the seed, all
represent forces, which when in
troduced to the barren earth, are
entirely foreign to the forces in
the earth which have yielded on
ly thorns and thistles. Who can
tell of, or describe, the struggle
which goes on until the fruitless
become fruitful? The husband
man does his work with pleasure
because he knows that out of
the struggle the harvest is to
come.
The grace of God introduced
and applied to sinful mankind, is
a force entirely foreign to sin
and sinful conditions. In its
working in sinners and amid sin
full conditions, it finds itself ac-
lively opposed. But he who in
troduced it knows the possibili-
ties in the sinner and bids the sin

It was our pleasure last Thurs
day evening to be a guest at
the Elks' club in Columbia,
and while there a delightful
episode took place. Governor
NJ. B. McSweeny with a mum.
Der of his friends were sit
ting in one of the nicely appoint
ed rooms chatting with a number
Of Elks whom be had not seen
since he moved from Columbia,
when all at once we noticed a
slight commotion near the door,
in a moment Col. E. B. Clark,
manager of Columbia's street
railway, and Col. E. J. Watson
city editor of The State walked
in, approached Governor Nc
Sweeney, and Col. Clark in well
chosen words feelingly express
ed presented him with a beauti-
ful Elks' watch charm as a token
of esteem from the members of
that lodge, of which the governor
is a member. Governor Nc
Sweeney was so completely sur
prised that it was difficult for
him to find words to express his
gratitude, but when his words
did come, they came from a heart
full Of love for his brethren and
former associates. Itwas really
delightful occasion, and Gov
ernor McSweeney is very proud
of the remembrance. The token
is solid gold and round in shape,
on one side is an Elk with dia-
mond eyes, and on the reversed
side are the words :sPresented to
Miles B. McSweeney from Elk's
lodge Columbia, S. c., B. P. O..
E. This testimonial was gotten
up sometime ago, but held by
the lodge until the governor
visited Columbia.

President Roosevelt has hit the
labor unions a crack over the
head, by refusing to permit a
government employee to be dis.
charged because he had been
turned out of a union. A man
working in the public pruning
Office was dismissed because a
labor union had expelled nm,
and the President caused him to
be reinstated on the ground that
the resolutions of unions cannot
be permitted to override the laws
of the United States, and as the

DEVELOPMENT OF SOUTH
held BUT DOCUMENTARY

| In the opinion of many railroad of
ficias the conditions and obstacles in
the southeast and southwest are ana
| Joyous to a great extent as regards
the development of the country and
promotion of traffic In the broad
sense it is stated that neither the
southeast nor the southwest has be-
gun to show it's possibilities.
The southeast. because Of closer
connection with the east, has been a
shade more developed and its re
sources are better known. but the
rapid progress made by railways in
the southwest has almost if not quite
caught up with it.
In the natural products obtainable
in these sections of the country the
analogy is said to be even more strik-
ing. Timber, cotton. sugar cane. rice,
early vegetables and other products
can be found in practically equal
quantities on both sides of the Miss
;ssippi river. and the railroads have in
consequence pushed their lines farth-
er and farther in the country in order
that they may be first to. reap the in
stimaEIe benefit IF n loaded haul from
the country where there is a steady
demand for the finished products of
the north
As regards the expert trade. the
southeast has such ports as Savannah,
Charleston ana Pensacola and the
southwest has Galveston and ether
ports equally as good. which but for
the additional mileage would place it
On the same footing i'm this respect.
Railway engineers state that it prac-
tically costs the samoa mile for the
construction of a read in one section
as in the other. and coal is equally
availa bic. This. unGer the prest mt
conditions. means it is rather hard to
get.
Statistics show that slowly. but
surely the ports Of the south and
southwest are wrestling the grain eX-
port business away from the Atlantic
northern ports, and with the gradual
change of the grain center. which is
said to be moving toward the south
west. it is believed that no abatement

acy on this commodity.
