TWO BELTON MEN DROWNED.
Were In a Boat Fishing on the Saluda
River and Boat Capsized.

Early last Thursday morning j.
C.. Walker and John Dickson, both
white, were drowned in the pond of
the Belton power company, six and
one-half miles from Belton, on the
Saluda river. Both of these young
gentlemen were we'll known in An
derson, as that city was their former
home.
It seems that the two men set out
trot lines across the pond the even
ing before and at 2 o'clock next
morning they were in a bateau visit
ing the lines. The bateau capsized.
It could not be learned how it hap
pened.
AS neither of the gentlemen re-
turned to their homes in time to go
to work, a search for them was in
augurated. The lifeless body Of Mr..
Walker was found on one of the
hooks of the trot line. The body of
Mr.. Dickson was found about noon
about SO feet below where the boat
turned over.
Mr.. Walker and Mr.. Dickson were
brothers-in-law. They were electrical
engineers and were in charge Of the
power house at the dam. They had
been connected with the company
only four or five months. Both were
about 25 years of age.

To My Bamberg Friends.

/ wish to return thanks to my
Bamberg patrons for past favors,
and will be glad to estimate on any
work to be done after November.
Just at present 1 am very busy, hav-
ing closed contracts for two hand
some two-story residences, to be
handsomely finished throughout,
also about $1,000 worth of public
work for the county. There were
other bids lower than mine, but the
parties concluded | was the most
reliable man to deal with, and as a
conscience the contracts were
awarded to me. l am interested in
Bamberg and her people, and hope
to do lots of building in your town

Last year 5,349 persons in the
Home Missing Society were pledged
to tithing. There is more wealth II
the world at this present time than
ever before, and the larger part OF
it is in the hands of processing
christians. What would it mean te
the church if these christians were tc
1.-THE their income? There would be
no empty treasures, no begging, no
bazaars, no festivals, money always
on hand to meet appointments. So
much more good could be done, and
so many more souls saved for Christ.
ISM it worth the trial?
In the United States there is spent
annually S15.61 per capita for liquor,
and only S4.10 for church and chari-
ty. If every church member would
pledge themselves to let whiskey go,
the statistics for another year would
be reversed.
Savannah has recently been opened
as a port of entry for immigrants
from Europe. This makes four i'm
migration stations in the Southern
States: Savannah, New Orleans,
Charleston, and Galveston. Last
year sixty thousand foreigners set
tied in the South, forty-eight per
cent. of whom are illiterate. The
Home Mission Society is doing a
wonderful work among the foreign
ers, establishing schools, etc.
In Tampa there are thirty-fve diff
ferent languages spoken. Nine con-
secrated women are employed by the
Home Mission Society to work in the
Italian and Cuban schools. These
foreigners coming under the influence
of these godly women, will make
christians and good citizens.
The great undeveloped West pre-
sents vast fields for home mission
workers. About fifty-four per cent.
of the immigrants settle in the West.
It calls loudly for the church and
christian schools, and preachers and
teachers of strong character and in
tellectual training. The Home Mis-
sion society is striving to win the
victory for Christ. But money and
workers are needed to meet the
great demands. We should rally to
the call. Every member of the
church should be a member of the
uoroo Mission, Snciotv

on Justification by Faith" A great
many good people go through life
with aching hearts lest they shall not
at last enter into rest. The promises
Of God are not strong enough to save
them securely-at least they are not
sure about it. They have been
taught that 1t was possible to fall
away and. Of course. must practice
it. Is there such a thing taught as
Justification by Faith" in the word
of God? If 50, the believer in Jesus
Christ Is secure in Him. How about
1t? This will be the question at IL
o'clock Sunday, and you are cordially

Says the st. Louis Globe Democrat
In speaking Of the separate coach
laws Of the South which the people
of Missouri are now considering as
good legislation for that State:
This movement virtually seeks to
revive the slave pen mark of humil-
iation and despised inferiority."
This is. Of course, absolutely and
Hagrantly false, and quite as silly
as 1t Is false. These separate coach
laws are a necessity in sections where
there is a large negro population.
There Is neither sentiment nor pre-
JUDGE back Of them in the usual
aeeeptatiOn Of those words, but the
most imperative practical considera-
tons, which decent white people can
not Ignore, require such laws and
their rigid enforcement. The over
whelming majority OF the negroes
make no objection whatever to the
separate coach, for the segregation
1t requires has many advantages for
them. and beyond an absurd desire
for an impossible social equality on
the part Of a very few, there is no
trouble among the negroes about it.
II they are not furnished with &C.
eommodatiOns equally as good as
those given the whites when they
pay the same fare, they have their
remedy at law against the railroad
companies. II the writer of the
paragraph in the Globe-DemOcrat
were living down here where negroes
are thick and much given to travel,
he would draw his pharasaical skirts
about him, elevate his hypocrItical
nose and kick harder than the most
select Of the natives should he and
his wife be cooped up in the same
coach with a representative assert
ment Of the negro race every time he
took a car ride. As a long range
sentimentalist on this issue he Is
very much of an ass.

Mr.. Adams, of Norwood, was here
this morning, and told the reporter Of
a horrible accident that occurred two
miles south Of Mayo Monday night.
Frank Jackson, a prominent white
farmer, went out in the afternoon
to feed his hogs, that were running
wild In the woods. He took with him
some corn and a gun. As he failed
to return as soon as expected, his wife
became alarmed and as soon as It
was light enough Tuesday morning,
a brother and others formed a search
ing party, and found Frank Jack
sons dead body about a mile from
nome with his gun lying on the
ground a short distance away, the
muzzle pointed away from him. The
theory is advanced that, as is well
KNOWN wild hogs, if not fed as soon
as found In the woods will fight, and
that they attacked the deceased and
ne Kept them on OF him nv nunnbir,

better than anybody else. On the
much-diseussed question of Mr.,
Roosevelt taking the nomination Of
his party for President next year, he
turns loose this paragraph that has
more convincing power In It than
anything else that has been said on
the subject:
The president is no fool. He
knows that to 60 back not only upon
his word. but upon his friend, and
take the nomination himself, would
fully confirm the worst charges
of the most inveterate Of his
.raducers; that It would. put the
brand Of self-Seeking and faIsehood
upon all his antecedents and preten-
sions; that It would present him to
his coantrymen as detsstable aud
selfish cOnspirator, aiming after
bower and power alone; that, in one
rofd and at rOue fen svOOp. the act
Mould destroy both himself and the
publican party. 1t is incOnceiv'
