ADanicrCome to Judgment.

If reports are true Mayor Robb of
Lima, o., is an unique dispenser OF
Justice. A man accused Of abusing
his family was arraigned before May
or Robb recently, and the mans wife
and four small children appeared in
court as witnesses. The proof was
complete, but Mayor Rohb hesitated
to punish the man. The prisoner
lad no money, and the only punish
ment possible was jail sentence. But
if the man was sent to jail his family
would have no support whatever, and
would therefore suffer more than the
prisoner. Mayor Robb finally said:
"I'll fine the prisoner the price Of a
good dinner FOR his wife and four
children, and loan the price of the
meals" He then compelled the pris-
oner to 60 with him, but would not
allow him to eat, but the wife and
little ones we're given hearty meal at
the mayors expense. The man was
so thoroughly ashamed that he huS-
tied around and had a job at good
wages inside of an hour, and declared
that be had learned bis lesson.

OranGeburg Lutheran Church.

Last Sunday (Gth) was the first an
niversary of Rev. j. ?. Miller's pas
torate Of the Orangeburg Lutheran
church. In speaking Of this fact
Rev. Miller noted with pleasure the
various evidences Of growth in the
congregation during the year. Four
teen members were added during the
year with at least eight or ten more
to be received at Easter. There has
been only one removed by transfer,
and none by death. The latter fact
is quite remarkable. The finances of
the congregation are in excellent
shape: the contributions have donhled
since the beginning of the year. The
attendance upon the various public
services is good, and the attention to
the preached word very good. When
people devoutly attend upon the
means of grace it is favorable indi-
cation of spiritual growth. Perfect
harmony prevails between the mem
bers Of the congregation and between
pastor and people. All are encour-
ared.

not to condemn but to save the world.
TO His disciples, He said: In the
world ye shall have tribulation but be
Of good cheer, 1 have overcome the
world" He overcame by transform
ing it. He did not go about hunting
evil, neither was He afraid of contact
with it, for His purity was a safe
guard. He overcame evil with good
by putting good In it's place. And
here Is our example and lesson-denun-
citation, legislation or force OF crimes
can never by themselves keep evil out
of the world. Only positive good put
in its place, can overcome evil. The
Gospel of Christ is the only power OF
God for the transformation OF the
world. And now comes in the ap-
plication Of the text. We ourselves,
are first Of all to be transformed-uur
minds and hearts are to be renewed
and invigorated by Christ. Let this
mind be in you which was in c lrlst
Jesus" Look upon the world with
the eyes of the Master and deal with
| if as He did. The
Christian who does this is in better
position to transform che world around
him. + We must prove what
is the will Of God even the thing
which is good and acceptable and per-
feet = The longer we
! live in this world, the more we realize
that much of it is but dross and vani-
ty. We are to discriminate by selec-
tion, that only the httest may ser
vive. D ling what we believe our
Lord would approve, avoiding what
is doubtful. The world looks to us
as examples and guides in all that
pertains to the higher and nobler
life. Instead of conforming to the
world we are to st up the standard
of Jesus Christ and follow it, + r #
Let us prove (test) all things, hold
fast that which is good. Abstain
from all appearance Of evil, and the
! God of peace sanctify you wholly, and
pray God your whole spirit and soul
and body be preserved blameleSs unto
the coming Of our Lord Jesus Christ. y

Finally Brethren, whatsoever
things are true, whatsoever things are
honest, whatsoever things are just,
whatsoever things are pure, WHAT
soeyer things are loveley, whatsoever

War Time PRAYERS.

The last time interviewed General
O. o. Howard, says a writer in ar
exchange, it was on the subject
of answers to prayer, and I thought
had him. o In his famous fight with
Stonewall Jackson the Union forces
were defeated, so l inquired OF Gen
eral Howard:
You prayed before that battle?"
Yes" he answered.
And Jackson was praying man.
He prayed also?"
YES" he assented.
''Then how was it he gained the
victory? Did that mean that the
Union cause was wrong?"
Very gently the good old General
replied: Both our prayers were an.
swered. Jackson prayed for immedi'
ate victory and l for the ultimate tri.
umph Of our cause. We both got
what we prayed for"

increasing Rural Free Delivery.

The rural free delivery service is to
be extended far and wide if the recon.
'merdation of the House committee on
the post Office is accepted, as there is
reason to believe it will be. The COM
mittee has just completed its work on
the post office appropriation bill which
will probably be passed by the House
last week. Contrary to expectations
the total amount appropriated, sl70,-
100000, is in excess of the amount
asked for by the Postmaster General,
the increase being almost entirely in
the rural free delivery service, which
will have $40, 0,7l5,000 as against Sl5,-
OO0,O last year. Ninety-Seven per
cent. of the amount is fer the payment
of carriers salaries. The bill provides
for an increase in. pay for all rural de-
livery carriers from 5000 to S720
year. 1t is provided, however, that
the carriers shall not hereafter solicit
any outside business, receive any or
derS for merchandise, or engage in the
express business. This provision is
the result Of the efforts Of the depart
ment stores Of the larger cities to use
the rural carriers as agents for their
houses. Much complaint has been
made against this practice which is
now to be brought to an end. The large
increase recommended will, Of course,
allow for a generous extension Of the
system to parts Of the country not yet
blessed with this convenience, and as
it is said it is The early bird that
catches the worm, this would seem an
opportune time to apply for a route,
where such service is desired. This
law is all right, except that the car
riers should receive 81 900 instead Of
500 rer annun

The Cotton Tree.

Our consular agent at Guadalajara,
Mexico, has been instructed by the
Department of Agriculture to insti-
tude at once an investigation relative
TO the cotton tree, which is said to
flourish in the neighborhood Of that
city, with a view to it's introduction,
if possible, into tEis country. THE
cotton t,ee," says The Houston, Tex,
Daily Post, is said to be a native of
the state of Jalisco, which is one Of
the smaller divisions on the Pacific
side Of the neigbboring republic. Ac-
cording to Senor Hilario Cuevas, on
whose hacienda near Lagos, it is be-
ing scientifically cultivated, the plant
begins bearing when five years old
and continues to be productive for
half century or more. In some in
stances a single tree has been known
to produce as much as fifty pounds of
cotton in one season, tie fibre being
very similar to that Of the cotton
plant and adaptable to the same uses.
1t is immune against the boil Weevil
and all other insect pests, according
to the Mexican experts, and under
proper conditions the growing OF it
may be made immensely profitable. y

Henry q. Brunson. Esquire.

The death of this brilliant and big
hearted lawyer, which occurred at his
home in this city last Thu rsday after
noon, cast a gloom over the entire
community.
Mr.. Brunson was sick fer three
weeks but it was not generally known
that he was critically i'll until a few
days before he died. He was so active
and full of generous human sympathies
that it is hard to realize that ne is 10
more. Although taken off in the
very prime OF life, and before his
morning had touched noon he had
been for many years prominent figure
at the bar and in county affairs. We
doubt if there is a person in the coun'
ty who did not know Henry Brunson,
as he was familiarly called. He early
won a commanding position in his
profession and was Singularly sue
cessful in the management OF his
cases. His forte was the criminal
law, and in that arena he won many
notable triumphs. The esteem in
which he was held by the people was
attested by bis election to the office
Of Judge of Probate and Master for
two full terms. He voluntarily re-
tired from official position at the end
OF his second term, and confined him.
self to the practice Of his profession
until his last illness. -
Henry Brunson possessed many ad-
mirable qualities, but his great char
acteristic was his kindness Of heart.
He was so kind that he paid interest
for it. His nature was too amiable
and frank to cherish resentmentS even
against these who miSjudged him.
There was no sacrifice be would not
make to serve a friend, and he was the
friend of every one who needed his
ready service. His genial and sunny
disposition combined with bis large
desire to do for others. attracted to
him devoted followers who loved him
to the end.
His earthly career mared it may be
by many weaknesses, but also crowned
with many shining virtues has ended.
He is gone beyond the power of hu-
man harm or help. His friends will
miss and mourn him, but to his grief
stricken wife and sweet little children
