I OuickencG ConscIe ice.

The editor OF the Newberry Obser-
yer says he was talking with an old
friend recently about various things
when the question OF restitution came
I'D. This friend took the broad
ground that there can be nc genuine
repentance on the part Of one who
has defrauded another without resti-
tuition is possible. Illustrations will
suggest themselves to everyone: there
are so many methods Of defrauding-
so many that the world approves and
even some pious people so-called wink
at. And when one comes down to the
true meaning of honesty and good
conscience all methods Of fraud are
serious matters. When one wants to
square his accounts with the next
world can ne let his accounts for this
stand open and unsettled? Can one
repent of having stolen and Still hold
on to the stolen good? Can one op-
press the poor and wiring from them
their hard earned savings and then re-
pent and go to heaven without restor-
ing or making some honest effort to
restore his ill-gotten gains: Repent
ance is possible. we believe, to every
human being, whether that repentance
be Of the emotional kind that makes
one very sorry or whether it is simply
conviction Of wrong doing and de-
termination to do right. But we do
not believe that a repentance, or So
called repetance, that does not force a
restitution of ill-gotten gains, where
possible, is worth a copper" We be-
licve the above ~ be sound scriptural
doctrine, and would commend it to all

An Able Address.

The address Of the Hon. B. Hart
Moss before the Alumni Association
Of WoiIurd College at Spartanburg
last week is most highly spoken oi by
the newspapers. The Spartanburg
correspondent Of The State says
when he asserted that the cotton
mills which few days ago were de-
Stroycd By the floods would soon be re-
built upon a larger and more n>odern
scale, the applause which greeted this
announcement told Enthusiastically that
bis were no idle words. Mr. Moss de-
clarcd that the alumni of the cy'lege
must look for substantial aid and sug-
geSteG as one plan to increase the en-
downment of the institution that each
Methodist in the State should contrib
ute 81 to the Semi-centennial fund
next year, thus raing sS0,000. While
Woford is distinctly Methodist in
stitution, the speaker had nothing but
words of highest commendation for
the other colleges in the--State, but
felt that the institution which had
contributed so many men who had
done so much for the good of the State
should be enlarged and her usefulness
thus extended The address was
chaSte and exceedingly interesting to
the large audience assembled"

Automobile Against a Bull

The Biarritz. France. correspond.
ent of the New York Herald says:
Next Sunday there is to be a bull
fight such as has never been seen
before. 1t will be a fight Of an au.
tonobile against bull.
Mr. Henry Deutsch, whose name is
connected with the prize for aerial
navigation. will preside. Mr.. Deutsch
when interviewed concerning this
latest novel plan for demonstrating
the merits of the automobile said:
MY opinion is that an automobile
can be used instead of a mounted
picador and if the plcador is placed
on swiftly revolving automobile
the sport might be immense.
II hold that with capable chat
teur the automobile could avoid the
charges of the bull My idea mall this
is that as the revolving feature OF
bull fighting is the mutilation of the
horse, this could be avoided by the
use of an automobile"

Want the Bible Changed

The Turkish censor is said to have
forbidden the American Bible Society
to print the Epistle to the ThesSlonians
containing the geographical term Mac
edonia. He insists upon substituting
the vilayets Of Salonica and Mon
astir." No doubt this could be more
exact if the Bible is to be brought
down to date. Macedonia was: it has
been Turkish policy to wipe it out, as
recognizable political entity. and the
revolutionary sentiment just now
manifest in that region will account
for the official SenSitiveneSs. But there
are other references to Macedonia in
the New Testament more significant
than this, as where man Of Macedeo-
MIA appeared to the Apostle in the
night, saying, Come over into Mac
edonia and help US This is an appeal
which the Turkish censor should by
all means suppress.

Prof. Crook has announced his in

Willard hall. the home of the co-eds.
He would have the university author
tiles prepare the iots so that they
may be flooded before cod weather.
The concrete sidewalks would serve
as banks for the pools on three sides.
Fraternity men. who have heard Of
Prof. Crooks scheme, have offered to
build seats for the skaters, and sug-
gest that each secret society build
one and name it after the fraternity.
On account Of the proximity of the
lots to the dormitories the young
women are taking kindly to the prop

American supremacy"

In the new issue of the London
Fortnightly Review there appears an
anonymous article on american SUI
premacy." says the New York Trib-
une, that is likely to attract much
attention. The author considers the
notion of Europe being overwhelmed
by the boundless production of the
United States most fantastic fig
ment of the Imagination. Upon the
new presidents recognition of the
limits of American supremacy, he
argued, the commercial and political
fortunes Of the whole world may in
no little degree depend. He goes on
to show that England will make
bad mistake if she opposes the
wishes of America in regard to the
isthmian canal Th@ United States
should hold the iron keys of the
gate Of the two oceans. and should
have the power to close it against
enemies.

More Than Needed.

The Spartanburg Journal says gen
eral relief committee appointed to
look after the distribution Of funds
for the flood sufferers now has on hand
about $4,000 in money which is un-
disposed of. The committee some
days ago recognized the fact that
they would not need all Of the money
that was coming in so rapidly, and
accordingly statements were issued
and published to that effect, but the
generosity Of the people continued un-
abated. The committee after expend-
ing all that was necessary to relieve
flood conditions found that only So
800 was required. The remainder,
$4,000, is still in the hands of the
relief committee.

RURAL ROUTES FE.-The au-
tEorities at Washington have decided
to continue all rural routes ID rever-
sal of the determination reached sew

that the funds for this service had
been exhausted. The State says the
administration probably concluded
that to discontinue mail facilities to
which people had become accustomed
the discontinuance being occasioned
by postoilice department 'irregulari-
ties'-would be very harmful to the
powers. And in that they wtre doubt
less correct So far at present at

GOOD ROADS MEETING. G.-The St.
Matthews correspondent of The State
says: An enthusiastic meeting in
the interest Of good roads was held
here Wednesday. The meeting was
generally attended by the citizens Of
the town with a few from the country.
A few were unavoidably absent while
some, we fear, did not attend because
a contribution was expected. This lat
ter class are perfectly willing for the
good roads movement to succeed but
hesitate when demand for money to
help is made. After a little discus
sion several hundred dollars were sub
scribed on tie spot and committee to
solicit further funds was appointed
and is already at work. Supervisor
Dantzler was present and delivered a
timely address and promised to aid in
every way possible consistent with his

A Good Law.

The Iowa Legislature passed a law
last year permitting the confinement
of confirmed drunkards in lunatic asy-
Inns. 1t made little stir, out with
in eight months 800 alcoholic patients
were under restraint and treatment.
An Iowa dispatch says that ineoriates
continue to flow into the State asy-
lumS at the rate Of about fifty a
month and that an Iowa court has
ruled that their constitutional rights
are not violated by their detention.
Some of the inebriateS don't like to De
sent up, but the treatment they get
seems to be humane and salutary.
Their liquor is stopped and they have
to work on farms and are encouraged
to improve their habits. When they
seem to be cured they are discharged,
and report says that about 10 per
cent. Of the cases have SO resulted.

Divorce VIII Ruin Society.

The alarming social conditions
brought about by the numerous dlvor-
ces in society and the great coed
which can be done by the influence OF
the college women were discussed by
Whitelaw Reid in the annual address
before the Phi Beta Kappa Society OF
Vassar College, Poughkeepsie, \. y.
recently. The address marked the
opening Of the commencement week
exercises al tie young women's col
lege. In the course OF his address Mr..
Reid said:
Outside the Immediate and in
estimable effect on the family, the
conservative power of educated wo-
men naturally will show it's influence
on social life. They surely will help
to check its degradation. They GER
tainly will correct the prevalent vici-
Gus conception Of its real scope. From
this degrading conception comes the
constant craze for newspaper publici ty
and every other form of publicity. If
the conduct of the so called inner cir
cles of society has sometimes seemed
to justify this brazen uproar at their
gates, so much more great the demand
for the conservative influence and the
real refinement that come from the
high training of superior women.
When higher ideals do return. the
powerful influence of educated women
surely will array. as never before. the
best Of their sex in compact, reSistleSs
phalanx against a social evil, alarm
ing, degrading, or demoralizing: which
steadily has become almost too COM
mon to provoke surprise-the trans
formation Of marriage from a sacra-
ment Of God into a thoughtleSS and
headlong business or social arrange
ment to be dissolved almost at
pleasure. Six hundred and tfty-four
Thousand persons divorced in this
country in the last twenty years. Such
is the deplorable record on which Ro-
man Catholic and Protestant clergy
are already appealing for d union Of
all moral agencies to resist this down
ward rush Of the multitude; The
decay Of the family relation means
the decay of the nation. We believe
that the plan Of South Carolina not to
ai'ow divorces on any ground is the
salvation of the country, and tue
sooner it is adopted the better.

A Big L ,sf.

The Spartanburg Journal says a
county officer who is well posted in
such matters has made al estimate
that the loss in taxes to the county
on account Of the destruction OF tax
able property by the flood of June s
will amount to s45,0 900 per year.
However, it should be borne in mind
that several large mills, ramely, the
Drayton. Appalache and new Tuca-
pan will soon be returnable for tax
alton and this w0i:l4 largely c9mpen-
safe for the other losses. Ii the storm
damaged mills are all rebuilt at an
early date, which seems probable, t
is thought by others that the loss in
taxes will be comparatively small.

THEY have the old Liberty bell in
Boston and a dispatch states that
some women fairly fought with each
other to get at it to kiss it. The bell
is a most interesting historic relic and
should be preserved BY all means, but,
as the Columbia Record says, this
thing of bowing and scrapiDg to it
when it is about or firing cannon in
its honor or foolish women Scrambling
over each other to kiss it is a species
Of genuine idolatry which is not only
senseless, but a more or less disgust
ing exhibition of sickly sentiment.
