No surly bell to service calls
 The butterflies on garden walls; No solemn priest his censer swings
 For birds rejoicing in their wings.
 The happy things of earth and ain
 Cringe not to God with frightened
 prayer;
 Sweet lambs are merry all the day.
 They know God loves to see them play. If I should quite forget to pray And only love to live each day, l wonder if 1 should not find
 A God most wonderfully kind. I'd like to find a God who smiled
 On every man, and beast, and child, Who did not need to hear us pray
 Before His anger passed away.
 l hope that such a God may be
 Who ia His garden looks on me; For when I'm very glad all day
 l feel as if I really pray.

 A charming book for an Easter pres ent is The Happy Christ" by Harold Begbie ($100), published by Dodd, Mead & Co, New York. As has been we'll said: Mir. Begbie's monograph is a It. tie Easter sermon in itself, and much of it's language is music. It is address, ed particularly to children, with the view of relegating to the shadowy back ground ill childhood's vision the picture of the suffering Christ on Calvary, and bringing to the fore The Happy Christ, who lived to bring joy into the world. You are asked not to think of Christ as He looks down upon us from the walls of the European picture galleries, or from the stained glass windows of sol- emr churches, a stricken and a bruised figure, nailed and bound upon the cross ard dying there in all the anguish and despair of eternal tragedy not so much of the Christ on Calvary as the Christ of the green hill of the Mount of Olives, or of the blue-spread calm of the Lake of Galilee; of the Christ who fished with the fishermen and took lit- tlC Oll HIS hllGS dllu tUlu lIlGIl stories
 Furthermore, to illustrate the charac- ter of the book, the following is from Mir. Regbies book
 There were exhibited in the maga- zines the photographs of monarch on whose lips the name of God and the Christ are as familiar as the personal prononn; in this photograph he was wearing a heavy busby, with a grin ming skull and threatening crossbones shining just above the eyes You will see at once how foolish is the belief of such man, clothed in the garb of war and wearing the signs of slaughter on his front, that he has learned the very simplest letter in the alphabet of Christ. You smile at such picture as representing a follower of the Cali lean.n
 Among the verses scattered through the chapters the following are selected:

there was o very heavy storm in that
section and that great damage was
done at Chester and Yorkville by the
blowing down Of trees and other
things, which kave not been cleared up,
at Red Point, near Pride's crops

average annual mortality from thil
disease for the i've years being 1i3 !
per 10000 Over 80 per cent of the
deaths from these diseases were deaths
Of children under five years Of age, anC
and over 86 per cent of children under
ono year Of age. For the principal
cities the rate was highest In Fall
River. 1t was high also in Pittsburg
Providence, New York and Ale
gheny.
Heart disease was fourth among the
leading causes of death, the average
annual rate in the registration area OF
the five years being l29 o per loo, 600
Of population. Over 10 per cent of the
deaths from this disease occurred at
ages above 44, over 45 per cent OCCUR
ring at 65 years and over. 1t is no
ticeable that the mortality from heart
disease is steadily increasing, the
death rate advancing from Ill 2 per
100, 900 In 1900 to l34 8 In 1904.
Another cause Of death with an In
creasing rate was cancer, the rate for
which increased from SO per 100, 900
In 1900 to 100 In 1904 A compare.
lively small proportion Of the deaths
from cancer occurred at ages under 40
years. The deaths Of females far ex-
ceeded those Of males, the proportion
being 622 females to 378 males In l..
900 deaths.
The death rate from cancer In the
registration area of the United States
was less than In E lgland and Wales,
Scotland, Germany, Norway, the
Netherlands and Swi rland, but wac
greater than In Ireland, Hungary,
Spain and Italy. It was higher in
the cities than in the rural districts,
but this is due partly to the fact that
residents of rural districts In the last
stages Of the disease seek the hospit.
ais In the cities treatment.
The average annual death rate from
typhoid fever In the registration area
was 33 8 per 100 900 Of population. O,
the ten European countries for which
similar statistics are available Italy
alone shows q higher. The total mum.
Der OF deaths In the five years, divid.
ed rs to sex, shows proportion Of
588 ales to 412 females In every l..
600 deaths. In each year greater
number OF deaths from typhoid fever
occurred between the ages Of 20 and
Do than at any other age period. The
number Of deaths was greatest In Sep
tember and 0Stober, and least In
June. Over one. third of the deaths
occurred In August, September and %.
Gober.
Among the large cities the greatest
mortality from this disease oc,urred
IN Pittsburg, Pa, the rate being more
than 100 In each year. The next high
est rate was in the adjoining CITY of
Allegheny. Tho mortality from ty-
phold fever was also excessively high
in Cleveland, CINCINNATI, Columbus,
Louisville and Washington. The aver.
age In New York city, ST Paul, Mil
waukee and Jersey Oity. The NOR
tality was greater in many OF the
anal Her eities and in the rural lliatri-tt.es,

BENNErTsvIL1E s. O. FRIDAY. JULY 8. 1906
It is stated chat sinoe this tranafer

1t is stated that since this transfer
there has not been pleasant feelings
between Mr.. Parks and Mr.. C0var.
1t seems that there was some
trouble about business matters, and
that Mr.. Parks came down from 90.
lumbla Friday morning to straighten
out the matter. All the parties were
| together In q conversation for some
time Friday morning and they
separated. 1t was only . short time
when they came together again, and
the shooting took place as above stat.
cd. 1t Is reported that man tele-
phoned to Mr.. Parks at Columbia
Thursday and advised him not to
come to Ofangeburg Friday, asking
him to have his business transacted
either through other parties or by
correspondence, stating to Mr.. Parks
that Mr.. Covar had threatened to kill
him IL he interfered. 1t Is also rumor-
ed that Mr.. Covar had been informed
that Mr. Parks intended to kill him
on account Of some reports that he
had heard, We believe this idle
R2ncy Sinde's talk is what caused the
whole trouble.
The fact is that both parties acted
on the idle talk they had heard and
wore we'll armed and prepared fer
shooting without delay. The father
Of Mr.. COvar, an old gentleman, who
resides here with his son. was also
armed. He did not attempt to shoot
aud returned his pistol to his pocket
when the pistol was taken away from
his son. After the fusilade when Mr..
Covar was walking forward after Mr..
Parks, as stated above, the old gen.
tleman called to his son to stop, which
he did.
The unfortunate affair has created
a great deal OF excitement, which 90
curing as 1t did, In so public a place.
Mr.. Parks was native Of E1gefleld
county and came to OranReburg from
Marion several years ago. During
his stay in Orangeburg he was in the
newspaper work and had many friends
In this city as we'll as county, who
will be shocked to hear Of his tragic
death. Some years ago Mr.. Parks
married Miss Annie Perreyolear, a
daughter Of Capt. w. III Perreyclear,
Of this city, who with two sweet little
boys survive him.
Mr.. II. II. OOvar was also native
of Edgefield, and has been q resident
Of this city for some years. Since he
came here he has conducted himself
In such way as to gain the conf.
denoe and respect OF all who have
come in contact with him. He, like
Mr.. Parks, has many friends all over
the county, as we'll as In town. He
has wife and several children, who
are terribly grieved over the sad az
fair. Mr.. Oovar Is now at home suf,
fering from the wound in his shoulder
and 1t will be q long time before he
will be able to do any work again.

NEW RELIGIOUS SECT.
Started by a Negro I'm New York
Oity.

StSrtou Dy negro In New York
1t is said that peculiar religious
sect ia getting foothold In the city
Of Mlddletown, N. Y. 1t Is the
Church of God and Saints OF Christ
and Is founded on lines similar to
Alexander DOwie's Clurch of Zion,
and like that 1t has head who pro.
claims himself Gods prophet and
mouthpiece. William S. Crowdy, of
Washington, d. O., Is the prophet
The church knows no color line, but
as the prophet is negro the majority
Of converts are from the negro raca.
A branch Of the church was organ
lied In this city some weeks ago by
an Intelligent negro, John II. Allen,
from Glover, Va, and already 1t has
made fourteen black and one white
convert. The keeping Of the Ten
Commandments and observing Of
Saturday as the Sabbath are the
strong points Of the Church Of God
Prophet Crowdy, If he had q white
skin, would much resemble Alexandc II
Dowie. and his methods appear az If
copied from Dowie's He publishes a
newspaper, the Weekly Prophet,
which Is the official organ of the
Church Of God, and It's chief end
seems to be to urge the members to
send In contributions to Crowdy.
Members OF the church have tic
contribute 10 per cent Of their earn
inRs, which, wit1l all other moneys
collected, goes to Prophet Orowdy.
The members are told that Orowdy Is
omnisccient and that nothing they dc
escapes his observation. Particular
stress is laid on the fact that 1t is Inn
possible to fool the prophet in regard
to the earnings Of the followers, and
1t Is suggeBted that ii any Of them
tried to mig" In their 20 per cent
contributions swift punistm would
follow. The prophet has q scheme OF
building holy city at Belevilla, Va
similar to Dowie's Zon city. The
other colored churches Of this city arc
